Chapter 273 Las Vegas serial murder case

"In September 1988, 13 women of all ages disappeared continuously for half a month on Choca Road in the suburbs of Los Santos. No clues were found. The investigator in charge of the case suspected that it was related to a passing circus at that time. After investigation , no exceptions were found.

  After the disappearance case was interrupted for a month, the detective in charge chose to suspend the investigation. "

  This case has no cause and effect, it is a case of serial women disappearing suddenly at a certain time period and at a certain place.

  The oldest missing person is over fifty years old, and the youngest is only thirteen years old.

besides.

  These missing women have no obvious commonality, whether in terms of occupation or other aspects. The places of disappearance are scattered all over the Joka Road section, and the time of disappearance is also scattered in various time periods, without the slightest reference value.

   No.. not right.

  All of the women were alone before they disappeared, and all were located near the Joka Kilometer section.

  This is the only commonality in this case.

  Dean tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly, and finally called up the information about Joka Highway.

  This is a suburban road with a total length of 23 kilometers. It passes through three towns, two woods, and a cornfield, connecting the urban area. Therefore, the people who come and go are generally nearby residents or people who go to work in the city.

  In this kind of place, students will be picked up by school buses.

  Then, in what way did the murderers, or rather, the murderers, choose their targets?

   In addition, 13 is a special number throughout the West.

   This originated in medieval Europe.

   Part of it is an allusion of Christian belief. The last supper of **** was 13 people, including the betrayer. Therefore, this number is regarded as an ominous number and is associated with betrayal and death.

  In addition, the number 13 was originally considered by the people at that time to be the number of the devil, and it was related to witchcraft and evil.

   It can be seen from many film and television dramas that people here have a special taboo for 13, and even some apartment buildings do not have 13 floors at all.

  So, Dean guessed that this case may be related to cult crimes, such as sacrifices, summoning devils and other weird events.

   This is where it gets interesting.

  Because of this kind of case, there is a very magical law: scale.

What does that mean?

   It is this kind of case that often appears in a fixed group, such as residents of a certain area, a certain occupation, or a certain group.

  They will have their own spiritual beliefs, collective fixed activities, and when committing crimes at the same time, they will cooperate closely and keep their mouths shut. In many cases, they will have other identities as a cover, and sometimes, they are collective crimes in a village.

  So unless there are survivors who escape and report, it will be difficult to expose.

   Since this case can appear in the hands of the FBI, and the victims are all concentrated in three groups of urban residents near the highway, the possibility of locals committing the crime is very low.

  Dean thought for a while, then turned his attention to the file, which said Circus.

   Here, there are often mobile circuses that travel to and from different continents, perform tours, live a not-so-rich life, and have a bad reputation.

   Because of their arrival, things like theft, wandering, robbery, cheating, etc. often happen.

  The problem is, the file contains a detailed investigation by the detectives working on the case at the time.

   On the surface, the circus, which seemed to be the most suspicious, had no time to commit the crime, and before the detectives arrived, the family members of the missing women turned the circus upside down and got rid of the suspicion.

  Dean could doubt the professionalism of the detectives handling the case at the time, but he would never doubt the force value of the residents of Los Santos.

  That place is a well-known crime capital throughout the United States.

  Let’s just say that.

  It is possible that you are just walking on the road with a pink mobile phone, and there may be young gang members who are unhappy with you, draw a gun and beat you into a sieve, and then use this matter as an understatement.

  And many families there have one or more members with a gang background.

  So if the circus has the slightest suspicion, it will definitely not be able to get away with it.

   This gave Dean a headache.

  From the files alone, he couldn't find the direction to solve the case.

  The only thing that made him feel suspicious was actually the little circus.

  But now, 13 years have passed since that year.

Even if there is information on every member of that little circus in the file, but after thirteen years have passed for such floating personnel, there is no United States of America that has been united by all continents and is well-registered. Finding it will be fatal. .

  Dean suspected that it would take a long time just to find someone.

   This does not meet his needs to quickly solve cases and gain experience points.

  So. This case, just get out!

   thought about it.

  Dean did not continue to look at the cases, but first classified all the cases according to his own needs.

   First, the region.

  The old cases he sees now include all states and counties in the entire American Federation.

  If you choose a case at random to investigate.

   Even if it is cracked, in this area, it may not be possible to find the next suitable case to investigate.

   In this way, it will consume a lot of time on the road.

   So, first select the region.

  He is now located in a field training camp more than 100 kilometers away from downtown Los Angeles.

   This side is relatively close to Las Vegas.

  It is the largest city in the state of Nevada, with a large number of residents. At the same time, because it is a gambling city, there are many foreigners, attracting a large number of people of various religions and classes, and cases emerge in endlessly.

   This place is undoubtedly Dean's first choice.

  After the region is determined, it is the category of the case.

  The cases here are all old cases.

  This means that the most helpful thing for Dean is the current case file, and many other evidences may have disappeared with the passage of time.

  So suitable cases should be relatively close to the present, and at the same time, during the investigation process, there are obvious suspects, but the case cannot be convicted in the end!

soon.

  Under Dean's screening, a large number of cases became sparse.

  He took a sip of his coffee, pulled himself together, and opened the top case seriously again.

   "The Case of Jim's Death"

  “In 1980, in Las Vegas, teenager Jim, after attending his girlfriend’s party, his body appeared in a trash can not far from the party yard the next day. There were signs of beating on his body. The cause of death was intracranial hemorrhage.

  He was beaten to death alive. "

  Seeing this, Dean let out a sound of surprise.

Although the FBI has the right to investigate as long as it is a case that violates federal laws, under normal circumstances, this kind of petty homicide is usually handled by the local police department. The FBI will get involved.

  He continued to look down.

  Jim's body was found by cleaners.

  After the cleaner called the police, the Las Vegas police immediately had an agent take over the case.

After investigation.

  A witness said that on the night before Jim's death, he was seen at a party, had a conflict with someone, and was humiliated by the other party splashing wine on his face.

  The detective in charge of the case immediately found the person who had a conflict with Jim.

  The identity of the other party is the brother of Jim's girlfriend.

  The other party disagreed with his sister being with Jim, a poor boy, so he deliberately humiliated Jim in public at the party, and even prepared some other humiliation methods, but it was only because of his sister that he didn't implement it.

  The other party was having fun with a group of friends when Jim died. There are many people who can testify, so there is no motive for committing the crime.

  Case here.

  Under normal circumstances, the next step for the detective in charge of the case is to investigate the deceased’s personal connections, ask his girlfriend, and visit the surrounding neighbors..

   But none of these.

  File records, so far.

  Because the police detective in charge of the case encountered a car accident on the way off work and died.

  The police station was understaffed at the time.

   This case was shelved like this.

   "Why is this kind of case recorded by the FBI?"

   Doubt flashed in Dean's eyes.

   Isn’t this just an ordinary murder case?

  There was no information about the involvement of FBI agents throughout the process.

   It's really inexplicable!

Sudden.

  Dean's eyes were drawn up, and he fixed on the last name of the deceased's girlfriend.

   "Pona Thomas!"

   Dean has no impression of this surname.

   But after a computer query.

He discovered that the Thomas family is a prestigious family in Las Vegas. Although it is not very powerful, the family and the local area can be considered to be somewhat famous. It was the first family to dig Las Vegas. landlord family.

  From this point of view, Jim and his girlfriend, the deceased, were all the play of the princess on the poor boy list.

  This kind of thing will also be found in the ignorant period of youth.

   family

   Dean had a flash of inspiration!

  He immediately inquired about the members of the Thomas family, and found that after Jim's death, his girlfriend, Paula Thomas, dated another object two years later, and finally got married in 1984, and gave birth to a son in 1985.

  Baona Thomas' husband is the eldest son of a local casino family.

   is also the reason.

   Dean saw a photo of Paona Thoma's son in a photo of an event at that casino.

   "Hoo~"

  On the photo, there is a handsome young man wearing a neat suit and wearing mousse. His appearance is 50 to 60% similar to that of Baona Thomas' brother.

   Reminiscent of the urine of the FBI.

  Dean immediately knew why this inconspicuous little case of Jim appeared in the FBI case file.

Needless to say.

   The one who killed Jim, nine out of ten, was the brother of Jim's girlfriend - Baona Thomas.

  Baona Thomas' brother should be a sister lover, and even killed his sister after killing Jim.

  The police detective investigating the case may not have actually been involved in a car accident. It is more likely that they discovered clues during the investigation and were finally silenced.

   As mentioned earlier, the FBI is in chaos.

  Every state has a branch office.

  The supervisors of each sub-bureau have great powers, but their own treatment is very average, and it can even be said to be poor.

  If they want to live a wealthy life, they can only make a fortune with the help of position power and their own operations.

  For example, before Dean cooperated with the black senior agent to hunt the bounty of the skinning brother.

   This is a kind of extra money, relatively low-end.

   There is another kind, which is to use the powerful intelligence system to grasp the handles of some local family members, and use this to extort money, cover up, or use this as an opportunity to cooperate in certain things and act in collusion.

   "Damn, isn't this the Jinyiwei?"

  Dean touched the detective card in his pocket, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

   But this excitement is only fleeting.

  Because it suddenly occurred to him that the heads of many intelligence agencies in the United States actually did not end well.

   This may be the result of knowing too many secrets.

but

  In this mass buried case, will there be any handle on the side of the Saul family?

   "Forging iron requires hard work. Even if the FBI has secretly grasped the handle of Sol's family, it is not something unknown like me who can know it, and it may not be useful if it is known."

  Thinking of this, Dean shook his head.

   This kind is only suitable for beating a dog in the water. Before the dog falls into the water, it shows its intentions and is easy to be bitten by the dog. Instead, it is not safe and happy to directly use physical destruction in secret.

   But the last time the Carmen family was able to be wiped out, and it was able to retreat unscathed, it was mainly An Bei who was responsible.

  On the surface, Dean and the Carmen family are not obviously involved.

   This is the reason why he shot decisively.

  Saul is different.

   It is easy to kill Thor, but it is not easy to eliminate subsequent hidden dangers.

  Saul has fought against Dean, and Dean is now, in the Los Angeles Police Department, not an unknown person, but a recognized headshot detective and a rookie in the police circle.

  Once Sol died suddenly.

   It is not easy for Dean to get out.

   After all, for those big families, the evidence is too troublesome.

   For suspects.

  They prefer to deal with them one by one according to the suspect list.

   It doesn't matter if you kill or not.

   It is very important to express the iron-blooded attitude of the family to the outside world.

  This is also the reason why Dean chose to swallow his anger for the time being, stay away from his family, and avoid the limelight after being treated unpleasantly.

  Boom~

  The knock on the door brought Dean back to his senses from his own world.

  He looked up and saw that it was Cheston.

   "Agent Dean, I wasn't in your room and found you had a change of clothes."

  Cheston felt that he had been tricked by Dean, which made him unable to bear the thought that when he was just in high school, he was pressed on the lawn by a group of senior seniors, took off his pants and slapped him.

  Dean couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Dude, there are regular cleaning staff here. When you hear something, can you use your brain?"

  His clothes will hide some small items, how could it be possible for outsiders to clean them.

  Dean asked Chesston to help him do the laundry, just to test the IQ of his future partner at will.

   As the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but opponents like pigs.

  If the partner is too stupid.

  If you use it to block a gun, you will be disgusted by Dean.

   Cheston's reaction undoubtedly disappointed Dean.

As a result, when he heard Dean's complaints, Cheston, who was still a little nervous at first, smiled: "I know you are joking, Agent Dean, so I just spent a hundred dollars to find out from the former instructor. A message."

   This aroused Dean's curiosity: "What news?"

  “A serial case of women being murdered and dumped corpses recently occurred in Las Vegas, which caused panic among local residents. There are many tourists there, so the police department requested the assistance of the FBI. Maybe we can try it.”

   "Is there no one on the FBI's side?"

   Dean was puzzled.

  This kind of case that happened not long ago is undoubtedly more cost-effective to solve than the pile of old cases on the computer.

  But you can’t just steal other people’s cases because of this.

  Cheston smiled:

   "Agent Dean.

  Generally, this kind of case is notified to the corresponding action sub-bureau as soon as possible, and then the sub-bureau will be in charge, and agents will be assigned to investigate.

  We now belong to 'Freedom' agents, not to any branch.

  This also means that we can actively participate in any case.

  If it is a case that is about to be solved, those guys are definitely not willing to let us share the credit, but this kind of case is obviously a dumping case, as long as we propose to take over, the director of the branch office will definitely not refuse! "

Dean didn't answer after listening, but stared at Cheston for a few seconds before slowly saying: "Cheston, you also said that this case is the local police in Las Vegas, who are worried about being burdened by incompetent Why do you think I'm interested in it because you just shirk it to the FBI because of infamy?"

   "This is Agent Dean, you took the initiative to tell me!"

  Cheston has been dealing with Dean for so long, and every time he is frightened, he has naturally studied Dean's behavior style and preferences, so as not to offend him unintentionally.

  See Dean's puzzled look.

  Cheston continued:

   "Detective Dean, after you obtained the authority to investigate the case, you asked me to immediately call out a large number of old cases in the inventory, which shows that you have a high enthusiasm for the detection of the case.

  I once heard a saying: The strong often enjoy the joy of harvesting in difficulties, while the weak will only mourn the torture brought to them by difficulties.

  I think it is precisely because of Detective Dean, this kind of strong man, that he can become the new star detective of the Los Angeles Police Department!

   This is also the main reason why I choose to follow you.

  You show me a bright future! "

   Good guy!

   Dean called out in his heart what a guy!

   Look down on this guy Chesston!

Cheston's words not only explained why he did this, but also praised Dean, showed his loyalty by the way, and most importantly, showed how he figured out the level of his boss to show that he was not incompetent generation.

  At least after listening to the explanation, Dean looked at Chessington with a little more agreement.

He got up, stretched himself, took out a cigarette from the table and threw it to Cheston, motioning for him to sit down: "You are very good, then you should give up on the serial killings that happened in Las Vegas." You already have a basic understanding of the corpse case, right?"

Cheston nodded: "According to the information so far, the deceased are all female, aged between 18 and 25, with blond hair, beautiful appearance, and occupations including students, white-collar workers, and waiters. There is no connection between them, and they died at the same time. miserable."

  He paused, licked his lips, and then continued:

   "In one month, Las Vegas, there have been five similar homicides.

  The dead were all murderers, and their bodies were thrown on the side of a remote road.

  The death of the deceased was miserable and similar.

   Large lacerations were found on their lower bodies.

  There are electric shock marks around the wound.

  The forensic doctor guessed that the murderer brutally used some kind of electric shock weapon in front of them and stabbed them in.

  And the murderer cruelly hollowed out the abdomen of the deceased through the wound on the lower body of the deceased, and finally arranged the taken out internal organs in the shape of a flower and placed them next to the deceased's body.

   Based on forensic examination.

  The time of death of the five female victims was between one and three in the morning.

  The place where the body was dumped was the scene of the first murder.

  The special climatic environment in Las Vegas caused the surrounding scene and traces to be covered with dust when the police found the body, which is also the main reason why the case has not progressed. "

  Papapapa~

   Facing Cheston's complete explanation, Dean couldn't help clapping his hands.

  He praised without hesitation: "Cheston, you are much better than I imagined, at least much better than my previous team members!"

  Cheston, it took only ten minutes to leave.

   As a result, this guy not only saw through Dean's desire to test himself, but also took the initiative to find the trainer he knew before, obtained the details of the case, and wrote them all down.

  The key point is that he can still convey it to Dean clearly.

   This is ability!

   Hear compliments.

  Cheston breathed a sigh of relief.

   Dean's reaction should be to accept himself.

   "Okay, Chesston, time is the lifeline of the victim, you immediately contact the FBI branch in Las Vegas and tell them, we have taken this case!"

   "Okay, Agent Dean!"

  Hearing Dean talking about us, Chesston walked out of the office with a smile on his face.

  This is the FBI's training base in California.

  Dean and the others are only staying here temporarily, and they may not return this time after leaving this time.

  So before heading to Las Vegas, Dean unceremoniously applied for a batch of weapons and ammunition from the base, and moved them all to his Humvee.

  Cheston also contacted the contact person of the police station in Las Vegas.

  After everything is in order.

  Amidst the violent roar of the Humvee, the two took the first step to become famous in the United States!

   Just when Dean was running around on the journey to solve the case.

  Commonwealth, Dean's little girlfriend, Neil, also happily pulled her suitcase under her mother's reluctant goodbye kiss, and boarded a private plane to Los Angeles.

  She has completed all the assessments given by her mother, and successfully obtained the start-up funds sponsored by her mother.

   Now it's time to go back to America and reunite with Dean.

  Nile did not notify Dean in advance.

  She wanted to give Dean a surprise, and make a surprise inspection by the way, to see if Dean was messing around behind her back!

   If you mess around!

snort!

  When the time comes, I must ruthlessly ravage that playboy!

   On the plane, Niall felt that the days seemed like years.

After getting off the plane, she left the VIP passage in a hurry under the enthusiastic service of the crew, but because she was full of thoughts about the scene of Dean seeing her, she happened to bump into someone who also came out of the VIP passage on the other side. handsome man.

  Beside the handsome man, there is also a fashionable blonde.

  Seeing a companion fall to the ground.

  The blond girl gave Nell a vicious look, then quickly squatted down, revealing her terrifying colleague from the shoreline, and said delicately, "Rose, dear, are you okay?"

  The handsome man was hit badly.

  He got up from the ground in a daze, and responded: "It's okay."

  Nile stood aside, showing embarrassment and apology, just about to apologize, but happened to see the face of the man standing up, and exclaimed unexpectedly: "Jose?"

  Rose heard Neil call his name, looked up, and smiled: "Nile, long time no see."

the other side.

  When Neil arrived in Los Angeles.

  Dean also drove to the Las Vegas branch.

   I was not used to my biological clock yesterday, so I fell asleep early.

   This chapter is for fishing.

   There is one thing to say.

   I feel that most of the victims of serial cases are women and children.
