Chapter 139 Who is she?
Luke put on the body armor and rushed into the campus immediately.
Only a dozen or so people came from the Operation Bureau, and the campus area is very large. It is difficult for them alone to complete the search task quickly.
The Operation Bureau belongs to the Special Branch like the Police Detective Bureau, but the division of labor is different. They are only responsible for assault operations. Luke's first task is to check and protect the scene as soon as possible.
According to the feedback from the students, the gunshots mainly came from the teaching building, vocal music building, and science building of the three buildings.
Luke and Xiao Hei are responsible for the search of the teaching building.
Five well-equipped and well-trained action team members took the lead, followed by Luke, Xiao Hei and ten patrolmen.
A group of more than ten people entered the teaching building, two police officers guarded the stairs, and the rest of the police officers searched floor by floor from the first floor.
"boom!"
"lapd!"
The police will enter every classroom and search.
Those who opened the door directly pushed it open, and those who did not open the door smashed it open with a door breaker.
The first floor was searched without any risk.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, Luke smelled a faint smell of blood. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or an intuition accumulated from long-term criminal investigation experience.
The body of a black female student was found in classroom 201 next to the stairs. She was shot twice in the chest. The ground was stained red with blood, and she was no longer breathing.
Xiao Hei made a cross, "What a sad day."
Luke sighed softly, quickly collected his emotions, and began to check the shooting scene.
The black female student was facing the direction of the classroom door, lying on her back on the ground, next to her dropped backpack, which was already stained red with blood.
No murder weapon was found, and no obvious footprints were found.
Luke took out his mobile phone and reported to Susan, asking the survey team and the forensic doctor to rush to the scene.
A policeman’s voice sounded on the walkie-talkie, “The shooting scene was found on the third floor, and there are two victims in the corridor!”
Luke sighed softly, took a few photos, turned around and went up to the third floor.
The scene on the third floor was even more tragic. Two corpses of a man and a woman were lying in a pool of blood. They looked young and should be school students.
Both victims were white. The male student was shot twice, one in the arm and one in the chest. The distance between the two was not very far.
"Hey, this girl is still breathing!" Xiao Hei shouted, and hurriedly called the emergency personnel.
Luke walked in and saw that the female classmate had been shot in the chest, her breath was extremely weak, and it was uncertain whether she could be revived.
"Another body was found in the women's toilet on the 3rd floor!"
"Fuck! It's not over!" Luke saw so many shooting victims at the same scene for the first time since the police.
Afterwards, Luke rushed to the toilet to check again. A black female student was lying on the floor of the toilet, her eyes wide open, and she was shot three times.
One shot each in the shoulder, chest, and thigh.
Luke wrinkled his forehead, and three dead and one seriously injured victim were found in one building.
This shooting case is more serious than expected, and the monitoring has been damaged. It may not be easy to investigate.
Forensic and survey teams rushed to the scene.
The dead and injured were also found in other parts of the campus. There were two forensic teams and three survey teams at the scene, but they still couldn't meet the needs of the scene, so they could only follow the steps.
The forensic doctor and investigation team first rushed to classroom 201 to investigate the situation of the first black female deceased.
The survey team found the student ID card of the black woman from the bag.
Luke picked it up and looked at it.
The photo is the same as the female deceased,
Name, Fanny Zaris
Age, Grade 11
Gender: Female
Student number, LA8472
Class, B12 class
Date of Birth, April 19, 2005
Address, 131 Kai Street
Social Security Number, 623-23-7318
The student ID card in Los Angeles is more like a student ID. It can be used not only at school, but also outside.
Luke handed the ID card to Xiao Hei, "Look up her specific information."
Xiao Hei was a little silent today. If he had nothing to say, he took his student ID and contacted Matthew.
Although Luke didn't move, messages kept coming from the walkie-talkie, and he had a general understanding of the situation of the shooting incident.
The entire school was basically searched.
Many timid students have been hiding in the classroom waiting for rescue. If the classroom door is strong enough, this is the safest way.
One dead and one injured in the Shengyue Building.
There is a dead person in the science building.
Looking at it this way, the number of casualties in the teaching building accounted for more than half.
The overall casualty situation is better than expected.
"Luke, Matthew sent a message. There is a problem with the deceased Fanny's student ID? The social security number is fake."
"Fake?" Luke thought to himself, isn't she a student, but one of the murderers?
"Contact the class teacher and ask them to come and identify."
Such a big incident happened at the school, many teachers were guarding the school gate and did not leave.
Soon a white woman in her thirties came in, covered her face when she saw Fanny's body, "Oh my god, my god...how could this happen?"
Luke flashed his police badge, "I'm Inspector Luke, what's your name?"
"I am Sharon Bruce, the teacher of class B12."
Luke pointed to the black female student on the ground, "Ms. Sharon, do you know the deceased?"
"Yes, Fanny, she has only changed schools for half a month, I can't believe it... I bought it, her parents must be very sad."
"Fanny is a transfer student?"
"Yes."
Luke thought the deceased had just broken into the school. Now, according to Teacher Sharon, the deceased woman came to the school half a month ago, and she came here with a false identity?
How did she do it?
What is the purpose?
"Where did Fanny go to school before and why did she transfer to this school?"
"Fanny used to be from Nevada. She and her family just moved to Los Angeles, and she lived not far from the school, so she enrolled nearby."
"Is there anything unusual about her enrollment period?"
"Uh...she gets along well with her classmates, but she's not as good in her homework, and she's not very active in her studies. Everything else is fine."
"Do you have the contact information of her parents?"
"No. But it might be in her file. Any questions?"
"I want the address of her home and the contact information of her parents, Mr. Sharon, this is very important."
"Ah... I can't decide this, I have to ask the principal for instructions."
Luke nodded and said nothing more.
Immediately, Luke squatted down and re-examined the black woman's body.
If you look carefully, although she is wearing a school uniform, she does look more mature than other students.
Luke checks her hands, both upper hands are calloused.
Just a callus on the left hand above the palm.
The right hand has calluses not only on the palm, but also on the knuckles.
Luke said to Xiao Hei, "Go and verify the identities of the other deceased."
After a while, Teacher Sharon came back, "Sorry, I couldn't find Fanny's file."
Luke asked back, "What do you mean you didn't find it?
No?
Didn't find it?
Still lost? "
Sharon shook her head, "I don't know, these things are not under my control."
"I can understand that this is how your school treats shootings?
If the parents sue the school, the police testimony and attitude will be crucial, and what happened today will definitely be on the record, I promise. "
Sharon was also a little helpless, "I'm just a teacher, I can't decide these things, I just did what I should do."
Luke looked at her carefully, but didn't say anything, he always felt that there was something unusual about it.
Susan looked at Sharon at the side, "Mr. Sharon, I'm the captain of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, can I talk to you?"
"certainly."
"I want to get to know Fanny..." Before Susan finished speaking, there was a sound of a car honking outside.
Luke and Susan went to the window to check. Two tall Chevrolet SUVs drove into the school, and several men wearing body armor printed with FBI got out of the car.
One of the men seemed to have spotted Luke and the others, and greeted the window.
Susan shook her head, "These arrogant guys."
A white man in his forties wearing an FBI body armor came to the door of the classroom, "Hi, Captain Susan, we meet again."
Susan responded, "Long time no see, Agent Anthony. What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take over the scene, and I've already greeted Chief Red."
"But I didn't get any message."
Anthony shrugged, "That can only show that the efficiency of your police department is worrying.
This strengthened my determination to take over the scene. "
Anthony walked to the side of the deceased, Fanny, and squatted down to check carefully, "What's the name of the deceased, have you found out his identity?"
Luke replied, "Fanny Zaris, a student in class B12."
"It's a pity that you are so young." Anthony stood up and said to the survey team beside him, "Please seal up the evidence and hand it over to the FBI, thank you."
Susan didn't back down, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Before I receive an official notice, I still have the final say."
Anthony spread his hands, "You are still so stubborn, but it doesn't make much sense."
Susan folded her hands in front of her body, "Then we will wait and see."
Luke looked at Anthony, "Detective, can I ask a question?"
"what is the problem?"
"Did you know the dead?"
"No." Anthony answered very simply.
Luke rolled up the sleeve of the victim's right arm to reveal a tattoo of a squinting bulldog and a red cap on his head.
"What now?"
"Huh..." Anthony sighed softly, turning his head aside.
Susan raised her eyebrows, "Is she one of yours?
So you just rush to take over the scene. "
Anthony pursed his lips, "It's a bit complicated to say."
"It's okay, I have plenty of time."
Anthony said perfunctorily, "Captain Susan, you should know that the FBI has FBI rules, and there are some things I can't tell you."
"If you don't tell me, we will investigate by ourselves. Please leave the scene."
"It is more appropriate to hand over this case to our FBI."
"As soon as one of your people died, the FBI was about to take over the scene. Campus cases have always attracted the attention of the media and citizens. If the media knew this, they would definitely write about it.
If the media and citizens ask why people from the FBI die on campus?
What does have to do with this shooting?
How do you answer? "
Anthony's face was a bit ugly, "It's not what you think, this shooting has nothing to do with the FBI, and we don't want such a thing to happen."
Susan pursued closely, "Then make it clear, so we can solve the case as soon as possible, which is good for everyone."
"I want to make a call." Anthony finished speaking and went out.
Susan also called Rhett to report the situation.
Soon, the three got together to discuss.
Xiao Hei showed a curious look, "How do you know that the dead woman is the FBI?"
Luke explained, “She has calloused fingers on her right hand and is definitely someone who touches guns all day long. Also, the squint-eyed bulldog tattoo on her right arm is the unofficial mascot of the Marine Corps and the most recognizable sea and land tattoo.
In addition, the attitude of the school also aroused my doubts.
When a shooting occurs in a general school, the school will worry about being prosecuted and will do its best to assist the police in the investigation.
But their attitude is very weird, probably ordered by the FBI before. "
Xiao Hei nodded and stroked his chin, "You and I thought about it."
Luke "…"
About ten minutes later, Reid, Susan, and Anthony returned to the scene.
Anthony looked at Luke again, "Young man, what's your name?"
"Luke."
"I remember you."
"Sorry, I'm only interested in beautiful women."
"Glib boy."
Rett laughed, "He's the elite of our Robbery and Murder Division. It's no shame to suffer from him."
Susan urged, "Agent Anthony, let's talk about Fanny's situation first."
Anthony was silent for a moment, "About a month ago, we received a call from a whistleblower claiming that a student at Malaboa High School possessed a gun and had a motive for killing, and that a shooting case was likely to be committed.
According to the regulations, we dispatched an agent to infiltrate the school to investigate, the deceased Fanny. "
Anthony sighed, "She is a good player, an excellent marine, with superb marksmanship and excellent fighting skills. She has carried out many missions, and I didn't expect that she would encounter accidents.
This group of brats could not possibly be her match. "
Susan said, "The truth is she was killed."
Anthony shook his head, "I'm confused too, it doesn't make sense."
Luke asked, "Has she contacted you during this time?"
"Of course, we have been in touch. She will report the investigation at the school. We will also analyze the credibility and danger of the report based on these situations, and issue new orders."
"Tell me about her investigation."
Anthony was silent for a moment, "The subject of her investigation is Bowen Peelton, a student in grade 11 and class B12.
She has been in contact with him for a while, and Bowen has no major problems in terms of study and spirit. After we observed it for a few days, we are ready to let her terminate the mission.
But she discovered a new situation, Bowen may have a situation of campus profiteering (river crab), and the mood swings of this kind of students are very unstable, so we decided to continue the task. "
Xiao Hei frowned, "I have seen a lot of school violence when I was in school, every school exists more or less, but I hate this kind of behavior very much.
Is Bowen the perpetrator? "
"On the contrary, Bowen is the target of bullying. Bowen is a white guy with a thin body and a relatively shy personality. He doesn't have many friends, which fits the situation of the victim."
Xiao Hei asked, "Did you decide to continue the mission plan because you wanted to solve the violence against Bowen? Or did you suspect that he might carry out the shooting?"
"There are both. We will report to the relevant departments when we collect enough violence. The FBI is not good at this kind of conflict between students, you know."
Luke asked, "Do you know the identity of the whistleblower?"
"No, I used a bearer card, and it was only used once."
"Where's the perpetrator?"
"Chad Kleiss, in the same grade as him, a bad boy who likes to bully others."
Xiao Hei froze for a moment, and asked, "Is he a blond boy?"
"How did you know?"
Xiao Hei pointed to the top, "He's lying on it."
"He was also killed, why didn't you say it earlier?" Detective Anthony turned around and walked outside.
Xiao Hei was a little upset, "Is he so polite?"
Susan said, "It's their usual style, just get used to it."
Subsequently, Luke and others also went up to the third floor.
A blond-haired Caucasian male student was lying in the corridor with a pale face and wide-open eyes.
Anthony sighed, "That's the kid."
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "So, this is a shooting case caused by campus profiteering. Have we found the murderer?"
Anthony muttered, "Fanny is dead, and this kid was also killed. This matter is probably related to Bowen Peelton.
I need to talk to him. "
Susan corrected, "It's us."
This case is more complicated, and there are many things to consider.
Writing is relatively slow.
The next chapter may be late.
Let’s watch it tomorrow morning.
