Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 197 [Case of Members and Students Arson]

The room next to the two was a small conference room, but Lacey was in no mood to check the structure of the conference room at this time, because the people from the trace inspection department hadn't arrived yet, and the bodies of the five victims were still in the room.

So when Lacey turned her head, she smelled an indescribable smell of burnt barbecue.

"Fu-k!"

Hurriedly covering her nose, Lacey's face was very ugly.

"Go and get the monitoring of this building first."

Roan didn't respond. He arranged Lacey's work casually, then took out gloves from his pocket and put them on, and walked slowly into the room that was still a little bit warm.

The smell of barbecue in the room was even stronger. Seeing that the expression on Roan's face hadn't changed at all, Detective Bailey and the NYPD outside were full of admiration.

After carefully checking the door of the room, Roan walked to the five corpses in the room and began to check their status seriously.

There were some debris at the foot of two of the corpses, and Roan frowned when he took a flashlight to illuminate them.

Not long after, the detectives from the Trace Inspection Section, who were driving relatively slowly, finally arrived, and Lacey also came back after adjusting the monitoring:

"The monitoring in the corridor of the building has not been installed yet, I only found the monitoring outside the building."

Holding a laptop in her arms, Lacey showed the screen to Roan and said:

"Five minutes before the alarm went off, this guy was the only one leaving the back door of the building."

In the surveillance video, a guy in a gray suit and a black and blue hat ran away from the building in a hurry.

"Male, very thin."

After watching the pictures in the video, Roan quickly concluded:

"The left hand has been clutching the right hand tightly, indicating that his right hand is probably injured, and it may also be that there is the target item he finally got."

"That's right."

Lacey nodded, then asked:

"How about it, Roan, what did you find here?"

Upon hearing this, Luo An directly handed her the fragments he found under the corpse just now.

"This is……"

After receiving the fragments, Lacey looked carefully, and said with some uncertainty:

"A fragment of a bottle?"

"To be precise, it is a fragment of a simple homemade Molotov cocktail."

Loudly signaled to the investigators of the trace inspection department to take all the fragments on the ground back for inspection. Roan looked around and leaned on his chin and said:

"Judging from the situation at the scene, before the incident, the congressman should have been chatting with four college students.

Immediately afterwards, the door was suddenly opened, and the Molotov cocktail was thrown into the room by the murderer.

The room was not big, and it was relatively closed. In addition, the fire started to burn from the door and the middle of the room, so the congressman and several students were soon lying in the flames. "

Not only that, the door of the room was locked, and there were traces of Molotov cocktail fragments in the corridor.

Even if one of them opened the door and ran out of the conference room, he would be burned to death by the flames of the Molotov cocktails in the corridor.

After listening to Roan's description, Detective Bailey's eyes flashed with astonishment, and Lacey's face changed slightly.

How much hatred did the murderer have with these five victims?

"Go to the staff of the government building."

Patting Lacie on the shoulder, Roan took off his gloves and walked out of the room, saying:

"Wait, make a list of the people who can enter this conference room."

"OK."

Lacey nodded, and hurriedly followed with the computer in her arms.

——

The next day, No. 5 investigation team.

"I'm sorry, detectives, the impact of this case is so great that the mayor called to inquire about the situation, so we have to work overtime on Saturday!

But don't worry, overtime pay will never be forgotten to be transferred to your bank account afterwards. "

At the front of the office area, Augustus shouted loudly with his belly out.

After William distributed the folder to everyone, he turned his gaze to Mona and said:

"Introduce the information of these five victims."

"OK."

Mona nodded, tapped the keyboard a few times, looked at the computer screen and introduced loudly:

"Four college students, two men and two women, named Vinny, Nickle, Kiana, and Vinina, are from the Business School of Alfred University in New York, and there are still 6 months before their graduation.

The name of another congressman victim is Emmanuel Bain, a 56-year-old Republican, and this is his first year in the New York City Council. "

"Wow."

As we all know, New York has always been the stronghold of the Democratic Party, with as many as 2.8 million Democrats and only 500,000 Republicans.

In the New York City Council, Democrats also hold 51 seats, while Republicans have only 3 seats.

Thinking of this, Roan said:

"So, we can tentatively determine that the murderer's target is Senator Emanuel Bain."

Roan determined the main direction of the next investigation, Augustus did not object, and continued to ask:

"Mona, can you find out who Emanuel's enemies are?"

"It's so easy."

Mona smiled slightly, tapped her fingers on the keyboard, and quickly brought up Emanuel's political orientation and propaganda content:

"Our Senator Emanuel calls himself the guardian of traditional federal values.

So he’s anti-feminism, anti-abortion, anti-gun ban, white supremacy and white nationalism, pro-denominational schools, advocating market freedom…”

After listening to Mona's introduction, except for Roan, all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team rolled their eyes in unison. Augustus patted his stomach and nodded:

"Very well, it seems that more than half of the people in New York are his enemies."

After a few seconds of silence, Augustus turned his gaze to Roan who was aside.

Roan didn't hesitate when he saw this, and immediately asked loudly:

"The fragments that were handed over to the trace inspection department last night, have the test results come out?"

Ryder nodded hastily and replied:

"The results have come out, your judgment is correct, those things are indeed homemade simple incendiary bottles, and the liquid used is all gasoline.

But it is a pity that the trace inspection department did not find fingerprints and DNA on those fragments, so it was impossible to find the identity of the murderer in the internal database. "

The expression on Roan's face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask:

"Lacy, what about the list you mentioned last night, and Emmanuel's recent itinerary?"

"No problem found."

Lacey handed Roan the list of people who could enter that meeting room, and said:

"Yesterday Emanuel first gave a speech in the square in Brooklyn, then went to several communities to condolences to the masses, and finally returned to the government building to accept interviews with the four college students."

Luo An nodded, carefully looked at the personnel list for a while, then raised his head and said to the agents:

"Everyone, we need to carefully investigate the surveillance in the area near the Brooklyn government building, and we must know where the man in the gray suit went after leaving the building!

In addition, the interpersonal relationship, emotional situation, and economic situation of the four college students also need to be carefully investigated! "

"no problem!!!"

The job content was a bit complicated and complicated, but William and several technical agents still nodded loudly and agreed.

Roan nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at Lacey and Ryder, and said:

"Next, you go to visit the family members of Congressman Emmanuel, as well as the relatives and friends of the four college students, and see if you can find any useful clues from them."

"OK."

Ryder and Lacey agreed to come down, dropped the folder and turned to enter the equipment warehouse.

Seeing this, Mona looked up and asked:

"Then what do we do next?"

"Let's go find him!"

Passing the list in his hand to Mona, Roan pointed to a name on it.

"Who is this?"

"Apart from the four college students, he was the last person Congressman Emanuel saw before he died."
