Legendary FBI Detective

Augustus' words made the agents of the No. 5 investigation team frown, and Roan asked directly:

"When did this happen?"

"have no idea."

Augustus shook his head. The NYPD only mentioned the location of the crime and the tragedy of the severed lower body of the deceased. They did not investigate the specific circumstances of the corpse.

"OK."

Roan didn't say much, and immediately turned around and said:

"Ryder, Mona, you two go and bring Magdalena back now.

Lacey and I go to this new crime scene. "

"no problem!"

Mona and Ryder got up and walked quickly into the equipment room, followed by Lacey, and Roan took out his mobile phone to call the trace inspection department.

Forty minutes later, in a villa area on the Upper West Side of New York.

"The name of the deceased was Karl Zoffer, a senior lawyer in a law firm."

The NYPD and Luo An who were waiting at the scene exchanged a few simple greetings, and then led them to the victim's death area:

"According to the law firm's account, Karl Zoffer asked for a few days off four days ago due to physical discomfort, but he didn't go to work this morning, and the phone couldn't be reached, so his boss asked us to take a look at his Condition."

Walking up to the second floor of the villa, Karl Zoffer died in the study. The cause of death was also a large number of stab wounds on his chest, and his lower body was also horrific.

Lacey glanced and turned her head to look for other clues, while Roan began to carefully examine the surroundings of the corpse and asked at the same time:

"Does this house have a security system?"

NYPD did not answer, an agent from the Trace Inspection Division nodded, picked up the laptop in his arms and said:

"There is one, and the surveillance camera behind the house captured the figure of the murderer."

Luo An got up and looked at the computer in the opponent's hand. Inside was a man of the same build, also wearing black clothes, black pants and a black hood, and even the method of picking the lock was the same.

But the surveillance cameras also failed to see the murderer's face clearly.

"The four victims died 15 days ago, 10 days ago, 4 days ago and yesterday. This murderer is really..."

After the video was played, Luo An smacked his tongue, not knowing how to describe this serial killer.

Turning his head and continuing to check the study, Roan found half a bloody footprint next to a carpet, and recruited the detectives from the trace inspection department to let them tidy it up. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Roan suddenly noticed that the posture of the corpse was a bit strange. Satisfied.

According to the Trace Inspection Section and the judgment described by NYPD just now, the time of death of the victim Karl Zoffer should be around 3-4 days.

At 2 to 3 days, the corpse will begin to rot from the abdomen of the human body, leaving gas after decomposition, so the body begins to swell, and at 3 to 4 days, the rot begins to spread from the abdomen, and the veins become more discolored.

At this time, Karl Zoffer's body did start to grow, but the growth rate seemed to be somewhat higher than normal.

Roan scratched his head, and was just about to speak to the investigators of the trace inspection department in the study, when Lacey's voice suddenly came from the bedroom not far away:

"Roan! Come to my place!"

"OK."

Walking into the bedroom, an agent from the Trace Inspection Division was checking Karl Zoffer's laptop, while Lacey was looking at a big black box with a strange expression.

Seeing Roan's arrival, Lacey showed Roan the items in the big black box. Roan looked down and found that the big black box was full of various toys.

"..."

The corner of Roan's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Lacey:

"Is it because of your lesbian attributes? How do you always find these things?"

When I went to the home of Caden Smith's sister who stole the bomb last time, Lacey was also under the bed in Caden Smith's basement, and found a pile of items that made Roan feel hot.

"snort!"

After giving Roan an angry look, Lacey took out a small box from the big black box and said:

"This is the latest model that just came out this year, and it's the kind that can be remotely controlled.

I thought I'd be able to find the remote at Karl-Zoffer, but I couldn't. "

The corner of Roan's mouth twitched, as if thinking of something, Lacey didn't see the expression on his face, pointed to the trace inspection officer at the side, and said:

"We just found some chat records and screenshots of photos in Karl Zoffer's laptop, and then..."

"OK, OK, needless to say."

Luo An waved his hands with a complicated expression, he seemed to understand the reason why the corpse rose so much:

"So, Lacey, you're saying that Karl Zoffer is gay?"

"It might be, but it's not certain."

Lacey nodded, then shook her head again:

"I don't understand the thinking of these rich people. Maybe he just wants to try new things."

"All right."

Roan nodded. He didn't understand what these people were thinking, so he turned around and told the two investigators of the trace inspection department in the study to pay more attention to the exit of the corpse when they moved the corpse, and then took out his mobile phone to call Mona. phoned:

"Well, did you catch Magdalena?"

"Well, things are a bit complicated now."

Mona on the other end of the phone showed a strange expression:

"The two of us have successfully brought Magdalena into the interrogation room, but before Ryder and I started the interrogation, the special agent chief Vernice rushed to our No. 5 investigation team.

Verinisi said that just now, a certain director of NYPD, a certain leader of the Department of Homeland Security, a certain leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology, a certain leader of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), a deputy mayor of New York City, a certain member of the New York Assembly, and our FBI The deputy directors of the New York branch all called her to inquire about the situation of the case.

That's why Verinis didn't let Ryder and I interrogate Magdalena now, but waited for you to come back. "

Roan: "..."

After listening to Mona's description, Roan's face twitched, feeling a pain in the ass.

He remembered a piece of news from his previous life.

In 2008, a federal federal jury indicted a middle-aged white woman named Palfrey, nicknamed "Mrs. Washington" for "operating a prostitution ring".

According to the news at the time, Palfrey's "Pamela Martin Escorts" company in Washington was suspected of providing pornographic services.

Palfrey herself not only obtained illegal income of more than 2 million U.S. dollars from it, but her clients were mostly Washington political elites, including Assistant Secretary of State, members of Congress, NASA officials, Navy officials, World Bank staff, international currency Fund managers, lawyers, etc.

In order to force those "important people" to come out and provide favorable testimony for himself, Palfrey once provided the media with a batch of important customer phone records, and said that he would never go to prison to serve his sentence.

At the same time, Palfrey also said: "I will definitely not go to federal prison, whether it is 4 years or 8 years, if necessary, I will bring all those clients in!"

It is conceivable that Palfrey offended so many people. In the end, it was no surprise that "Ms. Palfrey chose to commit suicide in prison when she was only 10 days away from the court trial due to her shame."

Roan didn't want to know whether Palfrey committed suicide. He wanted to know one thing now:

What's going on with this Magdalena?

The current time is 2005. Could it be that this New York is Magdalena, the senior of Washington Palfrey?

If you find something irrelevant to this case during the interrogation of Magdalena, then...

Returning to the SUV in the Jacobs Federal Building, Roan immediately took out his mobile phone and called Vernis.

Time to ask for thigh thoughts and opinions.
