Some discomfort after chapter 104

"What's up?"

  Hearing what Fletcher said, Roan asked hurriedly.

   "The story in the notebook is almost done, and I was walking back from a friend's house, and my car had some problems on the way."

  Fletcher rubbed his eyes and explained:

  “At that time, I took the car to a car repair shop, and I accidentally left this notebook in the car that night.

   If my guess is correct, the employee at the car repair shop has probably read this notebook. "

   "OK."

  Roan's eyelids moved slightly, he nodded slowly after a few seconds of silence, and then continued to ask for other information.

   But because of the flour, Fletcher was still not very clear-headed, and even sat on the chair and dozed his head.

   Roan frowned when he saw this, so he stopped asking, and left the interrogation room to let William take Fletcher away and temporarily imprison him.

  Backing to his desk, Roan looked at Fletcher's notebook for a while, and then tilted his head to look at Mona:

   "How long has Lacey been away?"

   "About half an hour."

  Mona looked at the clock at the front of the No. 5 investigation team office area, and said:

   "I saw her coming out of the interrogation room, so I went directly to the equipment warehouse"

  Roan nodded, saw Mona's ten fingers flying on the keyboard, tilted his head and asked:

   "What are you looking for?"

   "Augus asked me to check the information and itinerary of those NYPD members who have checked the bank robbery files."

  Mona shrugged and explained:

   "Augus feels that the first four cases may be related to the NYPD."

"Forehead"

  Luo An heard the words, his eyebrows trembled, and he asked:

   "Augus found information related to the robbers?"

"should not."

  Mona shook her head slowly, Augustus didn't say anything to her, just asked her to check first before talking.

   "OK."

   Seeing Roan hesitate to speak, Mona raised the corner of her mouth and asked softly:

   "Why, what can I do for you?"

   "It does."

  Roan nodded and said directly:

   "In the fifth and sixth cases, the two robbers planned to use a police officer to scout the spot.

  In Fletcher's notebook just now, he also wrote the method of using a diary to check on the bank.

  I think there is definitely a connection, but I don't know where.

   But this matter can be put on the back burner. Now I hope you can check the women who were under surveillance in the first two days when the first four cases happened, and see if their identities and jobs are related to similar occupations such as female journalists.

  If there is a relationship between occupations, they may also be related to the previous four robberies, and they may even be the spotters sent to the bank by the robbers in the previous four robberies. "

   "No problem! Just leave it to me!"

  After hearing this, Mona nodded decisively and agreed. Seeing the surprise on Roan's face, she smiled slightly:

   "Augus said he was not in a hurry, and could finish the investigation within three days."

  Roan suddenly realized, and patted Mona on the shoulder:

"Thanks for your hard work."

  Mona waved her hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter, picked up the phone and called those banks.

  The surveillance video of most banks in the United States will be kept for about three months, so after more than an hour, Mona got the surveillance video of the bank lobby four days before the four robberies.

  Roan sat down on the chair at the workstation, just about to check the video with Mona, when the phone rang suddenly.

   "It's me, Lacey."

   There was a faint noise from the other end of the phone, Lacey's voice was a little tired:

   "I checked the hotel just now. Fletcher didn't lie. He was indeed here when the crime happened."

"OK."

  Roan smashed his tongue, and when he heard that Lacey's state on the other end of the phone was not right, he immediately asked with a serious face:

   "What happened to you? Need to call for backup?"

"Need not."

   Lacey's voice of refusal came from the other end of the phone, and then explained:

   “When I came here, the owner of this hotel happened to be arrested by the New Jersey police for planting leaves on the roof and balcony.

  I just had a hard time convincing the police in New Jersey to let me interrogate the hotel owner and check the hotel surveillance. "

"…Thanks a lot."

  Hearing Lacey's assurance that she can solve these small problems, Roan's mouth twitched, and he hung up the phone.

  The main reason is that Roan heard the voice of the New Jersey policeman on the other end of the phone, and judged that the other party was probably a policewoman.

   Soon, it's time to get off work today.

   After confirming Fletcher's status with William, Roan left the office like everyone else, drove a Chevrolet to a nearby supermarket to buy a few bottles of red wine, and then walked slowly to Ryder's house.

  An unusually rich barbecue feast.

  —

  The next day, the Jacobs Federal Building.

  Roan walked out of the bathroom, looked at his haggard face in the mirror, felt some discomfort behind him, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched.

   "No, I will eat more vegetables and fruits later."

  In this case, it is useless to drink the newly prescribed stamina medicine from the twelve o'clock system last night.

  The antidote might be useful, but Roan didn't want to use the antidote, which can save lives at a critical moment, on such things.

   "Good morning, Roan!"

  Backing to the office area of ​​the No. 5 investigation team, Ryder waved to Roan with a smile all over his face. Roan grinned and nodded reluctantly.

   Lacey and Mona are also there. They are sitting together at this moment, discussing the cosmetics on the computer excitedly.

"Good morning everyone!"

  Familiar opening remarks and a loud voice sounded at the door of the No. 5 investigation team office area, and Augustus, with a big belly, walked in with a bag of breakfast.

  No nonsense, Augustus stood at the front of the office area, looked directly at William, and said:

   "William, tell us about yesterday's investigation!"

"Let me do it."

  As soon as William got up, Roan waved his hand to signal him that this matter will be left to him today.

   "Guys, we caught an ex-Scout yesterday, Fletcher."

  William sat back again, and Roan took a deep breath, and introduced to everyone with the notebook in his hand:

   "According to what Fletcher explained, we have already figured out the general circumstances of the four robberies.

  Fletcher's wife died four months ago. Three months ago, Fletcher decided to devote the rest of his life to fulfilling his wife's unfulfilled dream. Not long after, the bank robbery script appeared.

   This script has been read by many people, not only Fletcher's relatives and friends, but according to Fletcher, employees in a certain car repair shop may also have read it.

   And last month, the first bank robbery occurred, and the robbers did exactly the same as described in the script, so we can judge that this group of robbers definitely read the script written by Fletcher! "

   "Good."

  Augus nodded in satisfaction, signaling Roan to continue.

  Luo An walked to the front of the No. 5 investigation team office area, pulled a whiteboard, and said while writing:

   “Next, we have three directions of investigation:

  First, carefully line up Fletcher's relatives and friends who have reviewed the script, focusing on those who have military experience.

  Second, go to the auto repair shop Fletcher is talking about, and make sure to find out if anyone actually looked at the notebook, and if so, who.

  Third, look at surveillance footage from the four days leading up to the bank robbery…”

"very good!"

  After listening to Roan's narration, Augustus waved his hand and signaled the technicians of the No. 5 investigation team to immediately investigate the personnel, and then tilted his head to look at several field agents:

  Which one of you will go to the car repair shop?

   "Let Lacey and Ryder go."

  Feeling the faint discomfort coming from behind, the corner of Luo An's mouth twitched:

   "Fletcher's mind was not clear yesterday, and there are still many things that have not been asked. I will go to interrogate him later."

   "OK."

  Augus nodded, Lacey and Ryder didn't say anything, they got up and went to the equipment warehouse together.

   Half an hour later, Fletcher was put back into the interrogation room.
