Chapter 834 Fire
Thursday, Atlanta, Georgia, a hotel suite.
Luo An led the detectives of the special investigation team to fly here from Washington, D.C., rested overnight and started investigating the information the next day.
"Um…"
At the dining table, Michelle was sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard. Suddenly she looked strange and stopped when she wanted to speak. Luo An was a little confused when he saw this:
“Michelle, have you found any clues?”
“Well, no, it’s...”
The expression on Michelle's face became more and more weird. Seeing Luo An looking at her in confusion, she smiled awkwardly, showed the computer screen to Luo An, and explained:
“I just checked Anatoly’s past experience to see if I could find some clues about him, and then I found this person…”
Michelle was halfway through speaking and didn’t know how to continue. Roan turned his eyes to the computer screen and carefully looked at Anatoly’s past experiences.
Anatoly was born into a wealthy family. Before he grew up, his father became addicted to gambling and lost all his family property in just one year. Then he began to drink and abuse his wife and children.
Her mother was beaten to death by her father one time, and Anatoly has suffered from some mental illness and coma since then.
After his father was arrested and imprisoned, Anatoly was sent to an orphanage. A few years later, the orphanage closed down due to lack of financial resources. Anatoly was still two years shy of adulthood at that time, but age never prevents people from entering social universities. .
Anatoly first joined a car repair shop as an apprentice. The owner of the repair shop's business grew bigger and bigger. When he was about to open a branch, he was suddenly imprisoned due to tax issues, and the repair shop went bankrupt.
Anatoly then found a job as a waiter in a restaurant. The restaurant was prosperous for a while, and then it was burned to ruins by fire.
Anatoly later went to work in a bakery, a grocery store, and a supermarket. Those places were prosperous for a period of time, and then collapsed due to accidents.
When Anatoly joined the treasure-hunting ship, less than half a year after setting off with the ship, the treasure-hunting team found the sunken ship and gold...and then they encountered gangsters.
…”
After reading the information on the computer, Luo An’s eyelids jumped. Michelle looked strange and was silent for a few seconds and whispered:
“It must be a coincidence. Anatoli has worked in gun shops, hospitals and other places in the past, so there are no problems in those places.”
Luo An nodded without saying anything, pushed the computer back to Michelle, and asked her to continue investigating and looking for clues.
"I'm back!"
At this moment, Lacey pushed the door open and walked into the room. She raised the folder in her hand and said:
“Luo An, I have obtained the information about the night of the incident from the Atlanta police.”
“Good, thank you for your hard work.”
Roan took the folder and looked at it carefully. Michelle asked Lacey what happened that night. Lacey replied seriously:
“The Atlanta police stated that on the night of the incident, about eight people first raided a rental house.
There were 10 people in the rental house. They didn't react at first and were caught on the spot.
I don’t know what happened during the process. Several grenades were detonated. Two of the attackers were killed, and six of the captured people were killed.
The remaining four people in the rental house wanted to flee, but six angry attackers beat one of them to death on the spot. Only three people took advantage of the chaos and drove away. The attackers chased after them angrily. "
Michelle nodded slightly when she heard this, which perfectly corresponded to Anatoly's confession.
Lacie continued:
“The grenade explosion caused a lot of noise, and patrol police from nearby areas drove to check it out.
On the way, one of the police cars driven by several patrol officers had a flat tire, another broke down, and another accidentally hit a tree.
By the time more police followed the pursuers and arrived at the factory on the outskirts of Atlanta, the fighting there had ended and a raging fire was burning at the scene.
“…” After listening to Lacey’s description, Michelle’s head was covered with black lines.
She can accept a flat tire or breakdown, but is the one behind her that hits a tree too much?
Lacey spread her hands. Atlanta is a city with a reputation for simple folk customs and talented people. It is ranked among the best in the federal government. In addition, the police funds are not much and are even declining year by year. However, the police officers were too excited and accidentally drove. Just hitting a tree, a minor problem.
“It doesn’t matter, this document provides us with a lot of clues.”
Seeing the somewhat indignant Michelle, Luo An shook his head slightly, pointed at the folder and smiled lightly:
“The police said they found nine charred bodies in the burning factory.
There were three teams in the factory that night, the pursuers, the treasure hunting team and the team that made counterfeit banknotes.
Anatoly said during interrogation that when the three of them drove into the factory, there were six people inside. These people should be the counterfeit banknote team.
Including the 6 pursuers, there were a total of 15 people on the scene. Excluding Anatoly who escaped, 9 of the remaining 14 people died and only 5 survived.
No matter which camp these five people belong to, all three camps themselves suffered heavy losses. "
“That’s right.”
Lacie nodded heavily and then said:
“Mona has gone to the autopsy department of the Atlanta police. It won’t take long for the true identities of those who died to be found out.”
Michelle’s eyes lit up:
“You will be able to follow the clues and find out who is making counterfeit banknotes.”
“Everyone, I’m back.”
Within a few minutes, Winslow and Chenelle returned to the hotel suite together. After a brief drink of water, Chenelle first introduced:
“Luo An, as you requested, Winslow and I checked the details of the factory where the counterfeit banknote gang is located.
The owner of the factory is a man named Tangente. We followed the information and finally found him in a nursing home. "
“Sanatorium?”
Lacie and Michelle were stunned for a moment. Chenelle nodded, with a very ugly expression on her face, and explained:
“Don Ente is 86 years old and suffers from severe Alzheimer’s disease. He can’t speak. We can’t ask about the factory at all.
In other words, Tangente probably doesn’t even know that he has a factory under his name. "
“In addition, counterfeit money has become rampant in Atlanta’s underground world, and the exact amount is unknown.”
As soon as Chenier finished speaking, Winslow added that many of the guys who used counterfeit money had picked up the counterfeit money for nothing in the suburbs of Atlanta.
“It looks like it was the fire.”
Luo An thought for a while and quickly figured out what happened, and said in a deep voice:
“In that fire, not all the counterfeit banknotes in the factory were burned down. Many counterfeit banknotes were blown away by the wind, or were robbed by brave guys in the chaos.”
There are many people in the federal underground world who are good at fishing in troubled waters, picking up corpses afterwards, and even make a living doing this.
Several people in the room became quiet for a moment. Their goal was to track down and arrest the counterfeit banknote team. As a result, this case involved another gangster case. The clues at hand were quite complicated, but not many were useful. , very troublesome.
Jingle Bell-
At this moment, Luo An's cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Mona's excited voice came out:
“Luo An, good news, I found out who died in the factory fire on the night of the incident!
Not only that, I also found out the identities of the people who were chasing Anatoly! "
