Chapter 173 Evil in the refrigerator

  The sudden sound and movement startled everyone, Lacey almost spilled the coffee in her hand.

  Roan threw a bite of the burger on the table, and walked quickly towards William:

   "What did you find?"

   "We found a car!"

  William typed a few times on the keyboard, and then showed the computer to Roan.

   Inside are screenshots of several surveillance videos.

   "According to the transaction records you brought back, several of our technicians carefully checked the surveillance video near the transaction location."

   Picking up the big burger and taking a bite, William explained with a smile on his face:

   “Near one of the transactions, we found an orange pickup.

   Then we looked up the area near the bakery where Carolina Belloz was killed, and the area near the apartment where her sister lived.

   This orange pickup was around when Carolina was killed, and when the guy in the mask was around the apartment! "

   Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, but not necessarily three times.

   "Good job!"

   Slapped William on the shoulder hard, Roan immediately pulled Ryder into the equipment warehouse, and asked at the same time:

   "Who is the owner of the car?"

   "The owner of "Henry Plank Works"!"

  —

   At half past six in the afternoon, fully armed Roan and Ryder arrived at the board factory.

   At this time, it was time to get off work, and there was no one in the factory, only the boss's office was still lit.

  According to Mona's investigation, the wood panel factory's financial situation is not very good, and it seems that it will close down in a few months.

  Boom boom boom—

   "Come in!"

  The bald wood board factory owner was looking at the financial statements in front of him with a sad face.

   Hearing someone knock on the door, he let people in without looking up.

   Then he saw Ryder in full armor, pointing at himself with a Glock 18.

   Shua!

  The bald boss' face changed suddenly, and he immediately stood up and raised his French military posture.

   After a while, knowing the purpose of Luo An's visit, the bald boss immediately sat back on the chair and let out a long breath.

   "That car is indeed my car."

  The bald boss flipped through the employee information with trembling hands and explained:

   "But for work, that car has been driven by my staff lately."

   Picking up the financial statement on the table and looking at it, Roan frowned and asked:

   "Who's driving? What's his name?"

   "Joe Landry."

   Successfully found a piece of information, the bald boss handed it to Roan and said:

   "A guy who makes people feel at ease."

   After receiving the information, Roan looked at the photo above and found that it was a rather handsome white man.

   Signaling Ryder to send the above information to Mona, Roan asked:

   "Doing things makes people feel at ease? How to say?"

  The bald boss said that his factory's finances were handled by Joe Landry and his company's finances, which saved him a lot of money every month.

  Looking down at some details of the financial statement in his hand, Luo An smacked his lips when he learned that the factory's financial accountant was the boss's own daughter.

  Cheating does not distinguish between nationality, let alone gender.

   Didn’t say much, making sure that Ryder sent all the information to Mona. When Roan was about to leave here, he didn’t forget to leave the bald boss’s own contact information, and added:

   "If Joe Landry ever contacts you, or comes to you, call me immediately.

   But also don't tell him we've been here, OK? "

   "OK."

  The bald boss nodded and agreed. Before the office door was closed, he said loudly:

   "I don't know what Joe Root did to get your FBI's attention, but trust me, he's a good guy!"

   "..."

  Roan paused, shook his head, and strode away with Ryder.

   After you catch Joe Landry, contact the bald boss and ask him to find a third-party accountant to audit his factory's accounts.

  —

   "Joe Root Landry, 30 years old, was born in Brooklyn, New York, and never went to college."

  The pitch-black SUV was galloping fast under the light of the street lights, and Mona on the other end of the phone was typing on the keyboard while carefully introducing the relevant information about George Landry:

   "As a young adult, Joe Landry was in the military, four years as a Naval Scout, and in a lot of war.

  After retiring from the military, he took the accounting certificate with his own efforts.

   Currently living in Queens with a bedridden mother. "

   "Very good, it looks like a well-trained soldier who successfully returned home from the battlefield after completing the mission."

  Turning the steering wheel, driving the SUV to easily overtake in the traffic flow, Roan continued to ask:

   "But we still don't know why he killed Carolina.

  Mona, have you found the connection between Jorgen and Carolina?

   Judging from the scene of the crime, Carolina doesn't look like someone who was randomly selected, and Qiao Gen's life state and thinking don't look like those guys who take revenge on society. "

  Mona on the other end of the phone didn't look very good-looking. She frowned and replied while typing on the keyboard quickly:

   "I don't know, I'm still looking into it."

   The clues to the orange pickup were first found by William and his technical agents, and Mona is a little upset now.

  But Mona is not targeting William and the others, but herself.

   "OK, let me know if you find it."

  Hung up the phone, turned to Ryder, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and saw that he was fastening his seat belt silently. Roan grinned and asked:

   "Well, Ryder, do you have any ideas?"

   "No."

  Ryder shook his head:

   "According to the information, George Landry has nothing to do with this case. Did we find the wrong person?"

"Maybe."

   Driving the SUV past a car again, Roan suddenly remembered something, took out his phone again, and called Lacey.

   After a few seconds, the call is connected:

   "This is Lacey."

   There is no extra nonsense, Roan said directly:

   "Lacey, take the photo of Joe Landry immediately, go to the hospital to find Edwin Miller, and ask if he is the one who bought the gun."

   "OK!"

  Hung up the phone, Lacey immediately got up and left the No. 5 investigation team.

   A few minutes later, Roan and Ryder arrived at Joe Root Landry's home smoothly.

   Parked the SUV diagonally opposite the house, Roan and Ryder carefully checked the equipment on their bodies, and after making sure everything was fine, they opened the door and got out of the car.

  Boom boom boom—

  Standing at the door from left to right, Ryder knocked on the door and shouted:

   "FBI! Is anyone home?"

   Quiet, no one answered.

  Roan tentatively fiddled with the doorknob, and the door of the house was opened by him smoothly.

  Looking at each other, they both raised the Glock 18 in their hands, and quickly entered the house.

   Quickly searching every room in the house from left to right, Roan quickly found an old woman lying on the bed in the leftmost room on the second floor, eyes closed and sleeping soundly.

  Recalling that there was a paralyzed mother in the George Landry data, Roan stepped forward to test her breath, making sure that she was just sleeping, not dead.

   At this moment, Ryder's shout suddenly came from downstairs:

   "Roan! Come to me!"

  Hearing this, Roan hurriedly ran into the basement of the house in the direction of the sound, and asked at the same time:

"What's wrong?"

  Ryder didn't answer, but pointed to the corner of the basement with a face full of shock.

  Following Ryder's finger, Roan saw a refrigerator in operation.

   There is a frozen head in the freezer.

  If it was just a head, it wouldn't have shocked Ryder so much. After all, he had seen this kind of scene in previous cases.

   What really shocked Ryder was that the head was very similar to Joe Root Landry's face.
