v3 Chapter 29: malpractice of justice

"Lin, how is it, do you know Natalie's whereabouts?" After coming out of the interrogation room, Sean asked impatiently.

"I don't know, Yuri Rommel only mentioned that the MPV was silver, and the rest didn't say anything!" Lin Xiuyi shook his head and said regretfully.

"Then what should we do next?" Sean frowned and asked in distress.

"Tell me all the surveillance cameras near Route 90 during the period when Natalie disappeared, and find all the silver MPVs!" Lin Xiuyi said without hesitation.

"Lin, do you know how much traffic is on Route 90?" Sean asked worriedly.

"Go for it, we only have one clue!" Lin Xiuyi said to Sean in an unquestionable tone.

……

I am afraid no one can say clearly how many people have disappeared on Route 90. The FBI and police would only know in turn that the girls had gone missing once the bodies were found. Those poor girls were taken away by dangerous perverts like the Green River Killer as if they never existed. No one cares where they go, life or death. Route 90 is like Bermuda for these girls, silently making a person disappear without a trace. Victims whose bodies were never found were the worst. It's like the iron box left by the Green River Killer, which also contains 34 innocent lives. There was excessive evidence (one of the known victims was a male).

Richard, the prosecutor in charge of the case, has discussed the legal process with the FBI about the Green River Killer case, and prosecutors plan to sign a plea agreement with Yuri Rommel's lawyer, Yuri Rommel told the FBI. Prosecutors could consider dropping Yuri Rommel's first-degree murder charge after the 33 victims were buried and pleaded guilty to all crimes. This also means that Yuri Rommel is likely to be sentenced to life imprisonment or more than 20 years in prison, rather than the death penalty. It's so ironic that a serial killer who killed 53 victims can't be charged with first-degree murder.

Although it may seem absurd, this is the drawback of the American judicial system. Because lawyer Yuri Rommel has devised a strategy for him to never be executed. Under U.S. law, criminal suspects cannot be executed as long as there are cases in which the judicial process has not been fully concluded. This also means that as long as Yuri Rommel reveals the location of a victim's burial, his case will have to go through the judicial process again. According to the average litigation cycle of homicide cases in the United States over the past five years, Yuri Rommel may not reveal the bodies of all victims until he dies, but that box of hair really proves that there are indeed 53 victims. victim. Indicting Yuri Rommel on first-degree murder charges can only result in endless legal proceedings, and the cost alone will cost the city of Seattle hundreds of millions of dollars conservatively. So a plea agreement is a very beneficial option for both the prosecution and the victim.

Under the American legal system, serial killers like Yuri Rommel can go unpunished without paying the price of their lives to repay the crimes they committed. This is the sadness of law enforcement. A murderer who kills one person will be punished with first-degree murder charges, but if dozens of people are killed, the murderer will have a chance of getting out of prison. Although Lin Xiuyi felt angry in the face of this kind of **** logic, he also felt helpless. All he can do is to spare no effort to fight crime and save victims like Natalie who have a chance to survive.

There is no need for Yuri Rommel to lie to Lin Xiuyi, because he is about to sign a plea agreement with Richard. If he can successfully save Natalie, Yuri Rommel can be released from prison one day earlier. In this case, Lin Xiuyi believed that the clues provided by Rommel were still credible.

Everyone in the entire FBI branch has joined the search and surveillance work. In total, more than 70 silver MPVs have been discovered from the surveillance videos collected by dozens of cameras. And only a dozen of them can see the license plate. Because he signed a plea agreement, Yuri Rommel was willing to cooperate with the FBI to find the missing vehicle. Fortunately, an MPV with a local photo of Seattle was caught. Yuri Rommel recognized it.

"I have an impression of the shape of the child. The outline is like this. I didn't recognize it at the time. Now I think it is very likely to be a Toyota Sienna..." Yuri Rommel faced the photos of a table without hesitation. picked one out of them.

"Why are you so sure of this?" Lin Xiuyi asked sternly.

"Don't forget, I'm in the car recycling business. My intuition tells me that this is the car..." Yuri Rommel said triumphantly~lightnovelpub.net~ Lin Xiuyi nodded to Sean, Sean immediately went to Matthew with this photo, and Lin Xiuyi got up and left the interrogation room again. In less than five minutes, Sean rushed over and reported to Lin Xiu:

"Lin, do you know who the car belongs to?"

"What's the matter, what did you find?"

"Remember the suspect that Jason Siegel found? The car is his!" Sean quickly reported to Lin Xiu.

"You mean Lynn Spencer? But we found a van and a pickup in his name, not an MPV?"

Lin Xiu asked rhetorically.

"Lin, this car was registered in his butcher shop, so we didn't find it at the time..."

Lin Xiuyi suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp at this time. Lynn Spencer was a dangerous person who had committed one attempted **** and three **** cases. Although he never received any legal sanctions for this, this could only be done. More fueled Lynn Spencer's arrogance. America's poor demographics system renders their disappearance reports worthless, and no one knows how many girls are missing. Without the bodies, the police and the FBI can't do anything. Seattle's top three rankings for safety and beauty were earned by ignoring the massive floating population on Route 90, and it's meaningless at all.

"Go, call everyone, and find this Lynn Spencer right away!"

Without saying a word, Lin Xiu followed Sean and rushed out. They called a dozen colleagues and headed straight to Lynn Spencer's butcher's shop. Lin Xiuyi was secretly worried about Natalie in his heart. Although there was no evidence, Lin Xiuyi's intuition told him that this Lynn Spencer was probably not a good person.
