Legendary FBI Detective

The good news is that Vernis was just joking with Roan. She told Augustus about the quota just now, so Roan doesn't need to tell it in person.

The bad news is that Augustus knew exactly who the four places would be, so he still looked at Roan with a dark face for a long time.

Roan had no choice but to smile and handed Augustus a super big hamburger that was thickened and oversized.

However, the transfer to Los Angeles is a month later, and the most urgent thing is the serial murder case in their hands.

So Roan and Augustus had a brief chat, and Augustus, who had finished eating the hamburger, waved his hand and signaled Roan to interrogate Magdalena first, and we'll talk about the rest later.

The interrogation of Magdalena was not long. The 57-year-old still attractive woman is obviously a smart person with unusually high IQ and EQ.

As soon as Roan and Lacey sat down, Magdalena proposed that she knew a lot of things and had a lot of clues, saying that she had told everything and could testify in court.

But there is a premise, that is, the FBI will join her in the witness protection program, and afterward, send her to a small city to spend the rest of her life incognito.

After getting a positive answer from Verinis, Roan agreed to Magdalena's request.

For Verenes, Magdalena is of average value, and her "disciple" and "sister", Palfrey, is more important than her.

After receiving Roan's affirmative answer, Magdalena began to seriously answer the clues she knew about this serial murder case.

————

Half an hour later, Magdalena was taken away by Verenice.

Judging from Verenice's attitude, Roan felt that she was going to ask Magdalena to give her "sister" and "disciple" a backstab.

Luo An didn't think too much about it, and the most important thing was to deal with the serial murder case at hand first.

"Gentlemen, according to Magdalena, our five victims, except cousin Kelton Blake.

The rest of the real estate agent Orson Chet, the news channel host Paul Blake, the hotel owner Hogan Jamie, and the senior lawyer Carl Zoffer are all members of an underground club. "

Lacey stood at the front of the office area of ​​the No. 5 investigation team, and read aloud the few clues obtained from the interrogation just now:

"Magdalena said that the club had two areas.

The content of one of the areas is similar to that of the movie [Eye Opener]. Magdalena is mainly responsible for sending girls to the club. "

At this point, Lacey licked her lips. He was not interested in men, but Magdalena said there was a women's section there, and Lacey kind of wanted to see the world.

"So, what does this club have to do with this serial murder?"

Ryder, who had gone to the bathroom just now, raised his hand and raised his own question.

It's not uncommon for him to have seen more chaotic scenes than that during SWAT raids before, so he wasn't curious about such things.

Hearing Ryder's question, Roan kept looking down at the information, but Roan, who hadn't spoken, stood up and said:

"The second area of ​​the club is related to finance. The people in that area are rich people. They always discuss investment, stocks, bonds and other information while playing cards, helping each other and making money together.

As for whether this club has anything to do with this case, Mona and William are investigating. "

"Of course it matters!"

After Luo An finished speaking, Mona immediately tapped the keyboard hard, then raised her head and said with a smile:

"According to the information in the underground club, the four deceased often played cards with one person.

That person's name is Richard Meyer, 37 years old, the owner of a textile factory.

I just checked Richard Meier's financial situation and found that his textile factory had gone bankrupt two months ago.

The main reason for the bankruptcy was that Richard Meyer misappropriated the working capital of his own factory to buy a stock. As a result, the stock fell all the way to the bottom and never got up. "

Roan nodded:

"If I'm not mistaken, that stock was recommended to Richard Meyer by the four deceased."

"That's right!"

William next to him continued:

"Not only that, after Richard Meier's textile factory closed down, the land was also resold by the four deceased."

"Wow, that's terrible."

After listening to William's narration, Ryder shook his head repeatedly, his face full of regret.

But Mona on the side threw a hamburger to Ryder and said with a smile:

"But according to Richard Meier's previous financial situation, the textile factory was not his in the first place.

It was also Richard Meyer who got it from others in the same way as the four deceased in the club. "

Ryder froze after taking the hamburger. Roan next to him chuckled and patted him on the shoulder:

"There is an old saying in the East, which is called "a dog bites a dog's mouth hair" and "catch geese all day long, but the goose hits its eyes". You can look up the meaning of these two sentences later."

"All right."

Ryder opened his mouth and took a bite of the hamburger in his hand. After chewing a few times, he suddenly remembered another question:

"But if Richard Meyer is really the murderer, for revenge, he can kill people directly, why bother to cut off the four victims' private parts?"

"Um……"

Lacey frowned at Ryder's words, and then she turned her eyes to William.

William shook his head, and Lacey turned her gaze to Mona.

Mona chuckled, and tapped the keyboard a few times to display Richard Meyer's photo and his credit card consumption records on the computer screen:

Richard Meier on the computer is just a middle-aged white man with a lot of muscle.

But his credit card records show that he has repeatedly purchased the same toy that Roan and Lacey found in the black box at the home of the fourth victim, Carl Zoffer.

"So, there is a high probability that Richard Meyer is gay."

Lacey nodded suddenly, and Ryder took a bite of the hamburger in his hand.

Roan next to him frowned slightly, but it must be the best choice to bring Richard Meyer back to the No. 5 investigation team for questioning, so he patted Mona on the shoulder and asked:

"Where is Richard Meyer now, can I find it?"

"Simple."

Mona fluttered her ten fingers on the keyboard, and quickly found Richard Meyer's current location based on his recent credit card consumption records:

"Some small neighborhood in downtown Queens, New York."

"OK!"

Roan nodded, without talking nonsense, and said directly:

"Ryder, Lacey, you are going to Queens with me now, and bring Richard Meyer back to our No. 5 investigation team as a guest."

"no problem!"

Ryder and Lacey nodded, and the three walked quickly into the equipment warehouse together, and then drove to Queens in a brand new SUV.

When he was about to reach the target location, Roan's cell phone rang suddenly.

Press the answer button:

"What's wrong, Mona?"

"The trace inspection department just sent a report."

Mona on the other end of the phone said:

"The content of the test is the footprint you found at the house of the fourth victim, Karl Zoffer.

The report of the trace inspection department showed that the murderer was wearing a size 11 Stark shoe, which is the most common work boot on the market.

Not only that, the trace inspection department also found some plant ash and small glass fragments that did not belong to that room in the carpet under the footprints. "

"Good."

Parking the SUV on the side of the road, Roan said that he had learned about the matter, and then, together with Led Lacey, quickly moved to the door of Richard Meyer's apartment with the Glock 18.
