Chapter 307 Four questions, clues, suspects

Hearing what Lacey said, Luo An immediately asked:

"what happened?"

Mona and Michelle also cast questioning glances.

 “This is a photo.”

Lacie did not answer, but directly took out the photo of Captain Owen's bus before maintenance and put it in front of everyone.

Luo An and the others looked down and found that there were seven or eight cracks in the windshield in front of the passenger side of Captain Irving's bus in the photo, with the glass facing inward and a hole the size of a baby's fist.

Mona grinned:

 “Could this be done by a bird?”

 Lacie drained the coffee in the cup in one gulp and continued:

“Perhaps the bird has a dynamite strapped to it.”

Next to Michelle added:

“The question now is that Captain Owen’s bus was shot at. Not only did he not report the incident, why did he spread the alarm?”

“Maybe Captain Owen knew the person who shot him, or maybe he knew who fired the shot.”

Luo An answered smoothly, crossed his arms over his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and pondered.

After thinking for a moment, Luo An suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Lacey:

 “By the way, how did you get this photo?”

 It seems that it is not easy for the logistics side to speak out about things that involve their interests.

 “Michelle’s credit.”

 Lacie put her arm around Michelle's shoulders and said with a smile:

“She taught me to say things that the agents in the back office couldn’t say no to.”

Mona looked at Michelle in surprise, and Michelle smiled slightly:

“I used to work in the prosecutor’s office and have dealt with this kind of thing and know how to deal with those people.

And Lacey is very smart and learns quickly. I only said it once and she remembered it. "

Glancing at Lacey, who had her hands on her hips and a proud face on her face, Luo An coughed lightly, walked to the front of the office area, picked up a pen and wrote on the whiteboard borrowed by the No. 4 Investigation Team that had not yet been returned, while speaking:

“Everyone, we have a few questions that we are not clear about right now.

 First, why did Captain Owen conceal the incident when his bus was shot at?

 Second, why did Team Leader Owen make his last phone call to me for help?

 Third, what was the reason why Team Leader Owen was killed? Revenge or something else? "

 Speaking of this, Luo An's eyes flashed, something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked while writing:

"Fourth, why did Team Leader Owen go to the pier in southwest Los Angeles last night? What did he do there?"

 Hearing Luo An’s fourth question, Mona raised her hand and answered:

“I have checked the surveillance cameras in the dock area and found nothing unusual or unusual vehicles.”

 Michelle and Lacey frowned and fell silent upon hearing this. Roan threw the whiteboard marker aside, thought for a while, and asked:

“Have you checked the call records of Team Leader Owen?”

"call records?"

Mona shook her head in shock, then quickly moved her chair back to her computer:

 “I’ll start checking now.”

 “OK.”

Roan continued to say to Lacey and Michelle:

“Lacey, Michelle, please go to the office of the leader of Investigation Team No. 2 now and bring us all the office supplies and personal belongings of Leader Irving.”

"no problem."

 The two nodded, stood up and left the special investigation team.

  There are not many supplies for Captain Owen in the office of the leader of the No. 2 Investigation Team. Except for some case reports and files, there are not many other items. Luo An, Lacey and Michelle sat together and looked through Captain Owen's belongings bit by bit. The time soon came to noon.

 After lunch, Mona was busy in front of her computer for a while, and then suddenly raised her hand:

 “Everyone, I found a clue.”

Luo An and the other three immediately moved their chairs and came closer to Mona:

 “What clue?”

“Call records with different phone numbers but the same location.”

Mona typed on the keyboard for a moment, and a series of phone numbers and a map suddenly appeared on the computer. She pointed at these and explained:

“Since half a year ago, Team Leader Owen has had multiple calls with different one-time phone calls.

 The time for contact between the two is not fixed, but the frequency is fixed, twice every month.

 The reason why I believe that there is the same person behind these different disposable phones is because although the numbers of these disposable phones are different, the location of each call is the same and never changes. "

Whether it is an ordinary phone or a disposable phone, the way they work is to transmit signals into a base station, and then send signals through the base station to contact others in the distance.

Although the person who contacted Team Leader Irving changed his disposable cell phone many times, the base station that sent his signal was always the same one, which shows that the other party never changed locations when making calls.

“But I can’t be sure that the other party is the same person.”

 Lacie raised her own questions:

“Can’t it be that there is a store selling disposable mobile phones in that area? Those people just bought the phones and called Team Leader Owen directly there..."

As he spoke, Lacey’s voice became smaller and smaller.

 Because she found that the possibility she said was lower than what Mona said.

“The analysis is very reasonable, don’t analyze it in the future.”

Roan patted Lacey on the shoulder, looked at Mona, and then asked:

 “Are there any other discoveries?”

Mona smiled and said proudly:

 “Of course!

And I can already answer the fourth question you wrote on the whiteboard. "

Mona zoomed in on the map on the computer screen and explained:

“In the area where the signal base station is located, I checked the people who had social contacts with Team Leader Owen, and successfully found a middle-aged white man named Pearson.

This Pearson is also an FBI, working in the Criminal Justice Information Department in Los Angeles. He graduated from the same police academy as Team Leader Irving, and the two were classmates in the same class.

　　Before Team Leader Owen called Luo An, you had a phone call with him last night.

Not only that, while Captain Irving drove to the dock, Pearson also drove away from home.

Pearson's driving route was a bit circuitous, and he deliberately avoided many surveillance cameras, but his final direction was the Southwest Pier in Los Angeles. "

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice...is the same department as August."

After listening to the clues that Mona found, Lacey clicked her tongue and analyzed:

“Could it be that Team Leader Owen accidentally handled an unjust, false and wrong case, and the victim sought revenge from him after he was released from prison?”

Luo An stood up, stretched his waist, and patted Lacey on the shoulder:

 “Lacie, I think you should go to Hollywood and become a screenwriter.”

“How can you make money as a screenwriter by working on your case?”

Lacey chuckled. She had roughly figured out the structure of Hollywood during this period. The status of editors there was not ordinary. A movie had a box office of tens of millions, and those who could get half a million were the best in the industry. The screenwriter.

 Most editors only have a few hundred dollars a month, and survival is a problem.

 Getting up from the chair, Lacey asked:

“Where shall we go to see Pearson next?”

"certainly!"

Roan signaled Michelle to stay in the office area, continued to search for Team Leader Irving’s office supplies, and then walked into the equipment room with Lacey:

“Let’s go visit Mr. Pearson and ask him what he talks about when he talks to Team Leader Irving on the phone every month.”
