Chapter 366 [Physical secession case of Los Angeles Assembly Speaker]

Monday, seven o'clock in the evening, an apartment in an upscale community in South Los Angeles.

 Because the team leader Potente Byrne appeared, John immediately stopped talking. He agreed with Luo An to talk to him next time, left the folder and check, and left the office area of ​​the special investigation team.

Upon seeing this, Luo An took Lacey with him and went to the scene of the crime with the team leader Potente Byrne.

At this time, the lights outside the two-story apartment were brightly lit, and more than a dozen LAPD were struggling to maintain order at the scene. A large number of reporters outside were noisy, and the flashlights for taking photos never stopped.

 “The deceased’s name was Heman.”

Potente-Bourne got out of the car, opened the blockade with Roan and Lacey and walked quickly to the apartment. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water:

“He is 55 years old. He is the most popular among the Los Angeles council members and is also the Speaker of the Los Angeles City Council.”

"I know him."

Luo An didn’t know much about these things, but Lacey next to him nodded and said with a serious expression:

“Seaman has repeatedly spoken out for the underclass people in Los Angeles and proposed many initiatives to benefit the underclass people.”

Luo An’s expression remained unchanged. It sounded like Speaker Seaman was a good person. He stepped onto the lawn outside the apartment and asked:

 “What was the cause of Speaker Seaman’s death?”

Potente-Bourne's face became even colder upon hearing this, and he did not answer Luo An directly:

 “You’ll find out later.”

"Um?"

Luo An's eyebrows twitched. Did the murderer use torture and humiliation before killing Speaker Seaman?

The moment he walked into the apartment, Luo An realized that he had underestimated his imagination.

The living room inside the apartment had no room for anyone to stand at this time, and the place was filled with solidified crimson liquid.

In the middle of the living room, Speaker Seaman, who was in his fifties, was naked, with a white towel tied to the back of his head stuffed in his mouth. His eyes were split open and his face was ferocious.

In addition, "up and down" is not a verb but an adjective. Speaker Seaman is really centered on the waist, and it becomes two parts on the physical level. The two parts are so messed up that it cannot be described in words.

 “Fu-k!”

 “Sonof better than eating!”

　　Seeing the messy scene in the living room clearly, Lacey's face was filled with shock, her expression instantly became extremely ugly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

Luo An was also slightly startled and cursed in a low voice.

This kind of scene is quite impactful to Luo An, mainly because the smell of blood is too strong, and Luo An's sense of smell is relatively sensitive. He feels that he can hardly breathe in the living room.

  Turning his head to glance at Potente Bourne, Roan finally understood why his face was so gloomy.

After exiting the living room of the apartment and making way for the Trace Inspection Section detectives who also had horrified expressions on their faces, Luo An, Lacey and Potente Byrne walked into the adjacent kitchen together and turned their attention to the sink that was already there. A middle-aged white man who was vomiting until he looked horribly pale.

The middle-aged white man named Aiden is the secretary of Speaker Seaman and the first person to discover the scene and call the police.

Potent-Bourne briefly explained a few words, left the apartment and walked outside to start dealing with the media.

Roan and Luo An walked to Aiden and found that he could no longer spit out anything. Lacey handed him a glass of water, patted his shoulder, and whispered:

 “Let’s go out and talk.”

The kitchen is not far from the living room, and this image is still very impactful to ordinary people.

 “Thank you, but no, I can do that.”

　　Shakingly, Aiden took the water handed over by Lacey, thanked him, and then reluctantly shook his head to reject the proposal.

Lacey was speechless as Aiden looked like a noodle, unable to hold himself up, but his mouth was still hard. Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly used physical means to take Aiden out of the apartment for special investigation. The group’s new SUV…

 On the road next to it.

Mainly because Luo An has a keen sense of smell. He smelled a faint smell of urine on Aiden. The SUV was new after all, so it wouldn’t be good if it got dirty.

The CIA's Wande is very fast. Before Luo An and Mona went to Washington, Wande sent three SUVs and some new weapons and equipment to the special investigation team. Neither Luan nor Lacey meant to look down on Aiden. After all, the other person was an ordinary person. It was good that he didn't faint when he saw this scene.

 “How did you know I fainted?”

Aiden raised his head in surprise and said that when he opened the apartment door and saw the scene in the living room, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

Had it not been for the pain of his head falling on the steps and waking him up, Aiden's call to the police might have been much later than it was now.

  “…”x2

 Lacie rolled her eyes, and Luo An stopped wasting time and asked directly:

“What is the specific situation between you and Speaker Seaman today? What have you experienced?”

“Speaker Seaman called me this morning and said he was not feeling well and needed to rest at home for a few hours.”

Aiden took a deep breath and began to describe his experience today in detail:

“Speaker Seaman has always been in poor health. This kind of thing is normal, so I didn’t pay attention to it.

 Just according to Speaker Seaman's wishes, the meeting and other matters are temporarily postponed until after three o'clock in the afternoon.

 At 2:30 in the afternoon, I called Speaker Seaman again, but he never answered.

Considering that Speaker Seaman was still asleep after taking medicine in the past, I drove here with the documents, and then..."

Luo An looked solemn when he heard this. Aiden had basically no useful clues. Seeing that Speaker Seaman’s family had not appeared at the scene for so long, Luo An asked again:

“What’s going on with Speaker Seaman’s family?”

 “Chancellor Seaman has been separated from his wife for several years.”

Aiden sighed after hearing this and explained:

“Speaker Seaman and his wife have secretly gone through the divorce procedures, but they have not made it public.

 They have a daughter, who has been working outside the Federation and has only met with Speaker Seaman a handful of times. "

Luo An was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and asked in a low voice:

 “Does Speaker Seaman have any other women?”

  The murderer's methods were so cruel, there was a high probability that there was hatred between him and Speaker Seaman, and love killing was also one of the possibilities.

　　… “There is indeed one.”

Aiden was silent for a long time. He looked up at the reporters in the distance. Seeing that there were only Luo An and Lacey in the SUV, he lowered his voice and said:

“The woman’s name is Corinna. She is 21 years old and a student at a university in Los Angeles.”

　　　…”

 Luo An and Lacey looked at each other, and both saw the inexplicable look in the other's eyes.

The two of them didn't say much. After Lacey asked for the general information about Corinna, an agent from the Trace Inspection Section came over.

This Trace Inspection Section agent's expression was very normal. Aiden was taken away by other agents. He said to Luo An and Lacey:

“We found that the victim’s tongue was cut out, but it was not found at the scene. He should have been taken away by the murderer.”

 “Are there any other discoveries?”

“Then we have to wait for the autopsy results.”

 “OK, thank you.”

The Trace Inspection Section agent turned around and left, and Lacey immediately analyzed:

“The tongue was cut out, which is the fate of whistleblowers in many cases. Is it possible that this is also the case in Speaker Seaman’s case?”

"maybe."

Luo An stood next to the SUV, folding his hands and looking at the brightly lit and noisy scene. He observed carefully for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and called Mona:

“Mona, have you found any clues through the surveillance in this community?”

 “There are clues, but not completely.”
