Chapter 147 [The case of the male corpse in the park and river]

  Seeing Roan walk out of the Chevrolet, the first bank to be robbed, Henry, the lobby manager, smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him.

   "Good morning, Mr. Detective."

   "Just call me Roan."

  After the two greeted each other for a while, Henry took Roan into the bank and showed off the newly installed monitoring and security facilities of their bank.

  After all the display, Henry asked with a smile:

   "Detective Luo An, do you have any suggestions for the construction of these new security facilities in our bank?"

  Roan heard the words, tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied:

   “From a security standpoint, the devices do appear to be well protected.”

  Henry saw this, and just about to show a smile on his face, Roan immediately said:

   "But you have overlooked a problem, that is, the other party is a bank robber.

  Those people usually have wild ways, and they will always rob in unexpected ways. "

  Henry's face froze immediately, but he also knew that Roan's words were indeed reasonable, so he hurriedly asked:

   "Agent Roan, do you have any suggestions?"

"certainly!"

  Roan nodded, and led Henry to the bank lobby.

   Just when Henry was puzzled, Roan grinned, took out two black hoods with lightning speed, put them on his and Henry's heads, and shouted:

   "Don't move! Rob!"

  Henry: "???"

  Bank staff: "!!"

  —

   A few hours later, the office area of ​​the No. 5 investigation team.

   "Agents, gentlemen and ladies!"

  Augus pushed open the door with a big belly, and shouted loudly with a folder in his hand:

   "We got a new case today!"

  【At five o'clock this morning, a college student who was exercising in the morning found a dead body in the river in the park. The dead body was shot in the side of the brain.

  Because of the river and the park, the Trace Inspection Division did not find any witnesses or related videos.

  The only clue found was that the victim's car was parked not far from the park, and the victim's computer was found in the car. 】

   After receiving the information in the folder, Luo An frowned and asked in doubt:

   "A male corpse appeared in the river in the park? Why is this kind of case sent to us?"

  Ordinary homicide cases, NYPD can be responsible.

   "Because the address of this park belongs to federal land."

  Mona and Lacey looked at each other, Lacey stretched out her hand and pointed to the crime scene in the file:

   "According to Article 18 of the law, cases that occur on federal land are under the jurisdiction of the federal government."

"All right."

  Roan nodded, and William, who was next to him, saw this, and after obtaining Augustus's permission, he loudly introduced the specifics of the case:

   "The victim's name is Brent Hughes, 42 years old this year, a wealthy bank investor who works for a high-end Wall Street company, and his main job is mergers and acquisitions between companies.

   As for Brent Hughes himself, he has no criminal record, no debts, and no lawsuits. "

   "But he has an uneasy wife."

  Mona on the side tapped the keyboard a few times, then answered with a smile:

   “I found Brent Hughes’ divorce files showing that her wife, Mary Anne, had a relationship that went beyond friendship with a plumber for a construction company while Brent was on a business trip.”

   "Wow, what a sad story."

  Hearing Mona's description, Augustus sighed casually, and Roan raised his brows:

   "Plumber? Are you sure?"

"snort!"

   Glaring at Roan, Mona continued to read:

   "For the past year, Brent Hughes and Mary Anne have been arguing over the child support."

  Ryder on the side became interested and asked in a low voice:

   "Do you know the specific dispute between the two parties?"

  Mona nodded, and quickly adjusted the requirements of both parties:

   "Of course, Mary Anne asked the man to pay 500,000 dollars a month in alimony."

"500000?"

  Everyone gasped when they heard the words.

  Roan was also very emotional, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask:

   "Now Mary Anne can take all of Brent Hughes' money.

  By the way, is she still with that plumber now? "

   "Still together."

  Mona nodded, pointed to the information on the computer and said:

   "A month ago, the plumber just moved into Mary Anne's house and lived with her."

  Hearing this, Roan, Augustus, Ryder, William, and several other men present all shook their heads in unison.

   Falling asleep and thinking about it makes my egg hurt for Brent Hughes.

   Throwing the information in his hand aside, Roan asked directly:

   "What's the plumber's name?"

  Mona tapped on the keyboard with ten fingers, and quickly called up a photo and related information of a middle-aged white male:

   "Millard Thompson, 36 years old this year.

  According to the company's information, when Brent Hughes and Mary Anne first moved to the community, he began to make house calls. "

   "This guy's 'technique' must be good."

  Seeing the photos on the computer, Roan shook his head speechlessly, and continued to ask:

   "Does he have any criminal record?"

  Mona slid down the mouse and nodded:

   "Drunken Driving Once, Drunk Injury Once."

   After briefly analyzing the information in his hand for a while, Augustus stood at the forefront of the investigation team, with his hands on his hips, and loudly arranged the work:

   "Agents! Let's continue to investigate Brent Hughes now, and find out all his personal life, recent work content, hobbies and other information!

  In addition, Ryder, you go to the trace inspection department, and get back the autopsy report as soon as it comes out. By the way, get back that computer too.

  Lacey, go and visit Brent Hughes' company and see if there are any clues there. "

  Ryder and Lacey nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

   Seeing this, Augustus tilted his head and cast his eyes on Roan.

  Roan immediately said with a serious expression:

   "Mona and I went to visit the victim's wife and ask the plumber."

   "Good."

  Augus nodded in satisfaction, Roan and Mona looked at each other, and immediately got up and walked into the equipment warehouse.

  —

  The pitch-black SUV speeds along the roads of New York.

  Mona sat in the co-pilot, typing on the keyboard to check Mary Anne's financial situation, and asked casually:

   "Roan, I heard that you went to the banks that were robbed yesterday and upgraded their security technology. Can you tell me what adjustments you have made?"

  Roan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, turned the steering wheel, drove the SUV to another road, and replied:

"I broke the old ideological barriers of bank managers, helped them break through the ideological barrier, and realized the detachment and operation of the bank robbery crime theory. The product iteration of protective facilities has achieved dimensionality reduction in the ecological niche.”

   Mona: o_O

   Seeing that Roan was talking more and more, as if he had no intention of stopping, Mona, who was full of bewilderment, hurriedly shouted loudly:

   "Stop! Speak human!"

  Roan blinked and said directly:

   "I pretended to be a bank robber and showed the bank manager several methods of how the robbers would bypass their current security facilities and finally successfully rob their bank."

  Mona: "."

  At this time, the car just arrived at the door of Mary Anne's house. Mona gave Roan a hard look, then put away the computer and got out of the car.

   Walking to the gate of the villa, the two looked at each other, and Roan reached out and rang the doorbell.
