Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 392: Voluntary suicide, weakness

 The next morning, the office area of ​​the special investigation team.

"so…"

 Lacie sat at her work station, picked up the food and took a big bite. After chewing a few times, she said vaguely:

“Roan, what you mean is that the gun club owner Hux didn’t really confess to committing suicide, but was forced to commit suicide.

And the person who forced him was in the office at the time, right? "

 “That’s right.”

Luo An Sanjiangkou finished the food in his hand and nodded to confirm this.

Yesterday when he entered Hux's office, he quickly discovered something was wrong with the office windows. There were no signs of opening or closing on the two adjacent windows, only the middle one.

At first Luo An thought that the window was opened by Hux on his own initiative to add some fresh air to the office.

But when Luo An opened the window and looked outside, there were no footprints or other marks on the edge of the window, only a thin layer of dust.

Hearing this, Lacey was full of doubts:

“Since there are no footprints or other traces, how do you determine that the other party climbed in through the window? Isn’t it normal to have dust?”

Mona next to her also looked at Luo An with a puzzled face, not understanding how he judged.

“But there was only dust there, not fine grains of sand.”

Luo An shook his head and said that there was a road not far outside the window of Hux's office. Over the years, a lot of fine sand had accumulated on the small platform outside the other two windows. You could touch it with your fingers. a lot of.

Only the outside of the middle window is very sparse, only a small part at the edge, and the rest is covered with dust.

“Then I found a small speck of fine sand on the ground next to the chair behind Hux’s desk.”

Seeing Lacey, Michelle and Mona looking at each other, Roan chuckled and then explained:

“Hex himself could not have been outside that window, and the corpse’s hands were also very clean, indicating that he did not bring those fine grains of sand into the office.

The club attendant also said that the Hex office has not been cleaned these days. The only explanation is that there was a second person in the office at the time. "

Luo An speculated about the scene at that time. Hux joked with the club members downstairs for a while and went upstairs to return to his office. But as soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw someone sitting on his chair.

Roan didn’t know whether Hux knew that person, but the other person must have something against Hux.

Only for this reason, the murderer could easily force Hex to write a confession, and then kick down the chair and hang himself in front of the murderer.

Judging from the fine grains of sand left next to the chair, the murderer should have been standing nearby when Hex was writing the confession. Most likely, this was to prevent Hex from hiding clues about the murderer in the text.

 After Hux struggled for a moment and lost his breath and finally died, the murderer turned around, opened the window, and left easily from the original route.

 “Sonof better than eating!”

 “Damn killer!”

After listening to Luo An's description, Lacey and Mona frowned and cursed in a low voice. At this moment, the door of the Special Investigation Team office area was pushed open, and Michelle raised the folder in her hand. said:

“The autopsy results of the victim Hex have come out, and the cause of death was indeed mechanical asphyxia caused by hanging.

There is no intervention from other people in the behavior of hanging. For example, if someone kills him first and then hangs him up, it can be considered that the victims actively hang themselves.

At the same time, based on the suggestion of Team Leader Luo An, the Trace Inspection Section examined the windows of the crime scene and indeed found a small amount of substances that did not belong to Hux's office. It can be judged that there were indeed items in the crime scene at that time. Someone other than Hux. "

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lacie picked up a bag of breakfast and threw it to Michelle. Michelle caught it easily. Roan took the report issued by the Trace Inspection Department. Mona next to her opened the computer and asked without looking back:

“So, what do we do next?” “It’s very simple, investigate the connection between the new victim Hex and the previous victim Taylor-Davis.

 Start the investigation with Taylor-Davies as a judge and previous cases he handled when he was in the prosecution service. "

 Luo An threw the folder aside and said:

“One is a judge who was promoted from the prosecutorial department not long ago, and the other is a club owner who spent the first half of his life working harder in prison than at home, and finally worked in a legitimate industry in the second half of his life.

 As soon as we found out, the two of them died one after another. This can't be a coincidence. There must be something in the middle that we haven't discovered yet. "

 “OK.”

Mona nodded and started typing on the keyboard. Roan then looked back at Lacey and asked:

“How did you inspect the belongings in Taylor-Davis’ house?”

"not so good."

Lacey pointed at the conference room. There were three large cardboard boxes inside, which contained items she had taken back from Taylor-Davis’s home:

“Michelle and I rummaged through Taylor Davis’s personal computer yesterday. It was very simple. Except for cases, there were cases, and almost all of them were related to work.

 In terms of private life, Taylor-Davis keeps two notebooks, one of which contains the phone numbers of relatives and friends, and the other contains records of his legal knowledge.

  In Taylor-Davis’ cell phone, I found a hidden note, which contained the contact information of Samia and several other women who were traveling with Samia. "

"Wow."

Luo An thought for a while and said:

“Leave the investigation of Taylor-Davis’ personal belongings to me.

 Lacey, Michelle, you two investigate Hex's situation. Maybe you can find familiar items related to Taylor-Davis in his place. "

"no problem."

 “Leave it to us.”

 Lacie and Michelle nodded, immediately got up and left the special investigation team, and went to Hex's home to check the situation.

 Luo An pushed the door open and walked into the conference room. He felt a headache looking at the personal belongings related to Taylor-Davis in front of him. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then took a folder and started to look at it.

Time passed one by one. Two hours later, when Luo An was checking Taylor-Davis’s own work log, his cell phone rang suddenly. He pressed the answer button and Lacey said on the other end of the phone:

“Roan, I found a safe under one of the tiles on the floor of the Hux kitchen.

 In addition to some U.S. dollars, a pistol and a passport, there was also an overseas bank account in the safe.

Michelle checked the status of the bank account, and the records showed that Hux would deposit a sum of money into it every month, and then the money would be withdrawn in a European country. "

Luo An frowned slightly:

 “Can you find out who that person is?”

“The identity of the other party cannot be found. The other party is very cautious and hides his face firmly in front of the surveillance camera every time he withdraws money.”

 The voice on the other end of the phone was Michelle, and she replied:

“However, bank records show that their system has promoted maternity products and maternal and infant products to the other party, and it seems that the other party should be a woman.”

　　…Then the opponent should be Hux’s weakness.”

Luo An sneered, using weakness to force others is always the most convenient and effective way.

At this moment, Mona’s voice came from outside the conference room:

 “Luo An, come to me, I found something here.”
