Chapter 679: The troops are divided into two groups and the investigation begins
Hearing Luo An ask about the identity of the rich man, Cheniel's expression changed slightly and she asked:
“Luo An, what do you mean?”
“It’s very simple. If you can’t find it from the front, start from the side.”
Luo An picked up the documents that Elise brought before and explained:
“Since we can’t find the killer in this case, and we can’t find any information about the “Skull Flower” killer organization, it’s better to go directly to find people who have been assassinated by this organization before.
Through the assassinated person, find information about other killers, and then find the killer organization. "
“OK.”
Chenelle nodded, Lacey and the others suddenly understood, and Elise was silent for a moment and said:
“The rich guy is from Iowa, a guy in the oil business.”
“Are you still alive?”
Mona nodded, and Michelle took a video tape and was about to check it. At this moment, Luo An came over from the coffee machine not far away and said:
“The three of you will take a plane to Iowa for a trip and chat with this rich man.”
"no problem."
“You said before that after the hospital detected that the director was poisoned, your departments had access to the director’s itinerary during that period and checked the surveillance information, right?”
Elise nodded, and Luo An said:
“Bring us a copy of those monitors.”
At the beginning, their NSA, CSS, DIA and other departments had checked the surveillance, and no other problems were found except for the guy who was suspected of being a killer.
“The time of death of the former director was one month ago. According to the tests conducted by the hospital and the autopsy department, the time of poisoning was about half a month earlier.
Elise agreed, but she didn’t think Luo An could find any clues in those surveillance cameras.
“Due to some complications, his lower body and left foot were cut, but he is still alive.”
Roan turned to look at Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey and said:
Elise introduced:
Elise brought a lot of things, enough to fill a cardboard box. Mona picked up a hard drive and asked:
“Leave these monitors to me, you have other work.”
“That’s right.”
These surveillance videos are all recordings of the former director’s whereabouts from two to one and a half months ago. "
“These are all surveillance?”
Chenier and the other three nodded, and Roan then asked Elise:
“OK.”
"OK."
The next morning, Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey took a plane to leave Washington, D.C., while the others were still working in the office area of the Special Investigation Team.
"Yes."
“What?”
Mona and Michelle both turned their heads with surprise on their faces. Elise was very puzzled:
“Team Leader Luo An, the total monitoring time here may be thousands of hours, you can watch it alone...”
"It doesn't matter."
Luo An smiled without explaining much, and then said:
“It will take time for Lacey and the others to arrive in Iowa and get in contact with the rich man.
This time cannot be wasted, Mona, Michelle, log into the previous underground criminal network and see if there is any information about the "Skull Flower" killer organization. "
Most killers in the world kill for money.
"no problem."
Mona and Michelle were a little confused when Luo An insisted on checking the surveillance by himself, but they still nodded and agreed.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Luo An sitting at Lacey's workstation, checking the monitor slowly and unhurriedly. A flash of disapproval flashed in Elise's eyes, and her opinion of Luo An silently dropped a bit.
Yesterday, Luo An's "micro-expression analysis" indeed shocked and admired Elise, but her insistence on searching for clues through surveillance alone made Elise feel that Luo An was a bit too arrogant.
However, seeing that Agent Mona and Agent Michelle of the special investigation team did not say much, Elise, who considered herself an outsider, gave up her intention to offer advice and began to sit next to her and browse the underground with Mona and the other two girls. Crime website.
Time moved forward minute by minute, and the morning passed quickly. I called for some food, and everyone in the office area began to rest and have lunch.
“We’re in Iowa.”
Lacey and the others called Luo An at this time, and she yawned greatly:
“Iowa has beautiful scenery, a lot of cornfields, and the land is all great plains.”
Chenelle, who was next to her, grabbed the phone and said:
"Luo An, we have contacted the rich man's secretary, but his secretary said that he has no time today and wants us to make an appointment to meet tomorrow afternoon."
“Go directly to the other person’s home to find someone.”
Luo An’s expression remained unchanged, he swallowed the vegetable salad in his mouth and said softly:
“The circumstances of this case are special. I have the executive order from the Federal Vice President. Just be careful when you act.”
"clear!"
Winslow and Lacey on the other end of the phone looked at each other and smiled. Chenelle raised the corner of her mouth, exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.
In the office area, Mona also heard Luo An’s words. She swallowed the food with a worried look on her face:
“Luo An, is it okay to do this?”
“It doesn’t matter, Chenelle and the others know what’s appropriate.”
Luo An smiled and signaled to Mona that she shouldn’t be nervous, as Cheniel and the other three would not do anything too outrageous.
In addition, Luo An also wanted to take this opportunity to see what effect the vice president's executive order can achieve.
If someone takes advantage of this to jump out and target Luo An's investigation team, Luo An will be very happy, because he is waiting for the other party.
After arriving in Washington, D.C., Luo An encountered some small bumps, such as Antoine, a Jew who served as the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility.
But overall, Luo An’s journey can be said to have been smooth sailing and he has not encountered too many setbacks.
This is not good. No one will be liked by everyone. There are definitely many people who are dissatisfied with Luo An, but for some reason they have been suppressed and have not jumped out.
Luo An knows very well the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace and knowing yourself and your enemy.
Rather than letting the enemy hiding in the shadows jump out and stab you at the critical moment, you should first find the opponent, understand the opponent, and finally find a way to control the opponent.
Just like Salers did before, since the enemy will not disappear, dig a hole for the enemy in advance. When the enemy jumps up, kick him into the hole and fill it with soil.
Luo An knew this kind of thing, but there was no need to tell Mona and the others. He replied a few words casually and then changed the topic to the case under investigation.
“The criminal underground does find something.”
Mona finished her lunch, picked up the mineral water and took a sip, then brought her laptop over and said:
“I found a post with an advertisement for a killer organization and their contact information.
There is a light red flower pattern at the bottom of the post, which is the skull flower. "
“I also found a post on another criminal underworld website.”
Michelle next to her swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her hand and said:
“It’s a similar advertisement with similar content. There is also a light red skull flower pattern at the bottom of the text.”
“Well done!”
Roan raised the corners of his mouth and was about to speak when Elise suddenly asked:
“Team Leader Luo An, did you find anything during the surveillance?”
Mona frowned slightly and turned to look at Elise. Elise's expression remained unchanged. Luo An glanced at Elise and said:
“There are some discoveries, such as the fact that behind this case is a saturation assassination.”
