Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 539 Undetectable fingerprints and DNA

Washington, DC, a park.

"Is there a problem with the surveillance?"

Luo An looked at Lacey and asked:

"what happened?"

"There are several surveillance cameras at the four open entrances in the southeast, northwest and northwest of this park."

Lacey pointed to the corpse on the ground, indicating that this area was close to the west of the park, and then said:

"The park monitoring and management personnel said that around three o'clock this morning, two cameras in the due west area were attacked by unknown objects and were damaged."

Winslow, who was next to him, came over, a little confused:

"Unidentified object? UFO?"

"No, it's a stone."

Chenelle rolled her eyes at Winslow and said:

"Lexi and I just went there to take a look and found that the two surveillance cameras were smashed with rocks in the blind spot a few meters away."

Luo An thought for a while and asked:

"Does surveillance cameras being smashed happen often in this park?"

"No."

Lacey shook her head:

"I asked the park surveillance manager, and he said that the people living in the area near the park are all middle-class people, and homeless people are almost invisible. This kind of thing has happened, but not much."

"A body appeared in the park, and the surveillance camera was smashed on the same day..."

Winslow offered his own guess:

"Could it be the murderer? Because the two surveillance cameras caught him."

"maybe."

There is insufficient evidence at the moment, and Luo An has no good ideas.

Wearing gloves, he walked to the victim's body and squatted down to inspect it for a moment. Luo An suddenly frowned and discovered something. He slightly raised the right arm of the corpse and asked:

"Everyone, what is this? Can you recognize it?"

Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey quickly came over and followed Luo An's guidance to look at their right arm. They found that it was a dark red pattern imprinted on the skin because it was covered up by the blood and tofu flowing out of the muzzle of the head. , very difficult to find.

Winslow was the first to put forward his own guess:

"Is it a tattoo?"

"It looks like a tattoo sticker."

Chenelle put forward her guess. Lacey watched carefully for a long time and suddenly said:

"No, everyone, that seal."

"seal?"

Winslow and Chenelle were stunned for a moment, and Roan quickly reacted:

"The kind in a bar?"

Lacey nodded. Winslow lowered his head and stared at the dark red pattern. After a moment, he shook his head:

"No, it's too covered up and I can't see the specific pattern clearly."

"So this work will be left to the Trace Inspection Department at the back."

Luo An straightened up, put away his gloves and said:

"Chenelle, Lacey, you two continue to search for clues in this park and get back the previous surveillance video.

Winslow, you will work with the Trace Inspection Section later, and remember to go back and get the investigation results back... especially... get back the No. 13 Investigation Team. "

The name of Special Investigation Team was already easy to pronounce, but it was suddenly changed to Investigation Team 13. Luo An was still a little uncomfortable with it.

"clear."

"no problem!"

Winslow, Chenelle and Lacey nodded in agreement and took action on their own. Roan walked out of the park and drove back to the FBI Washington headquarters.

In the corridor, many passers-by detectives smiled and nodded at Luo An. Luo An also smiled and nodded. It was not until he entered the elevator that his expression relaxed.

"Roan?"

The elevator reached the fifth floor. As soon as Luo An walked out, he met Antoine, the director of the Office of Professional Responsibility, and his secretary.

"Good morning, sir."

Luo An glanced at the secretary calmly, stretched out his hand to shake Antoine's hand, and they exchanged a few words before Antoine asked:

"Team Leader Luo An is on his way to handle a case?"

"A homicide."

In this building, this kind of investigation could not be concealed at all, so Luo An spread his hands and complained:

"But now even the identity of the deceased has not been found out."

"This kind of trivial matter is definitely not a problem for Team Leader Luo An."

Antoine smiled, then changed the topic and asked:

"I wonder if Team Leader Luo An is free tonight. I know a good restaurant. How about going to have a meal?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure I have time tonight."

Luo An didn't say too much, saying that he was working on a case and something might happen tonight, so he would call him then.

"OK."

Antoine smiled, shook hands with Luo An again, and walked into the elevator with his secretary.

The elevator door closed. Luo An narrowed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, grinned and turned to leave. In the elevator, Antoine looked at the flashing numbers and asked:

"How's the investigation going?"

"We've almost checked it out."

The secretary nodded and whispered:

“Roan Greenwood has not done much in politics since he became the head of the Special Investigation Team and is not very keen on power.

As for women, Roan Greenwood's personal life was a bit chaotic at first when he was single. Later, he only lived with Mona Evans. "

"A dedicated man."

Minister Antoine smiled and then said:

"So, he likes money?"

The secretary nodded and briefly described how Luo An earned funds from various places when he led the special investigation team to handle cases.

"Good."

A glint flashed in Antoine's eyes, the air in the elevator gradually became quiet, and the two did not continue discussing this topic.

At the same time, deep in the fifth floor, there was the office area of ​​Investigation Team No. 13.

Luo An pushed the door open and asked directly:

"Mona, did you find anything from the surveillance near the crime scene?"

"Unfortunately, there is nothing."

Mona pushed the table with her hand, and the chair under her butt suddenly spun in a circle. She put her hand on her chin and replied:

"Not only was the murderer not seen, but even the victim was not detected by the surveillance cameras near the park."

Michelle next to her nodded and added:

"It felt like the victim suddenly appeared and died in that park."

"Then let's wait for the test results from the Trace Inspection Department."

Luo An opened a bottle of mineral water and drank it into his stomach, then wiped his mouth and briefly talked about the seal found on the corpse's arm and said:

"Mona, Michelle, you two check the bars in the area near the park where the crime occurred to see which bar still has the habit of sealing. Sort them out in advance and save them for subsequent comparison."

Speaking of this, Luo An paused, suddenly remembered the lunch he had with Veranith before, and added:

"In addition, try to check some private parties, clubs, restaurants, etc."

"OK."

Mona and Michelle nodded in agreement, moved their chairs and started typing on the keyboard.

Luo An pushed the door open and walked into the team leader's office. The case had come in a hurry, and the computers, tables, chairs, documents, etc. in the team leader's office had not yet been sorted out.

A few hours later, at 1:30 in the afternoon, Winslow held a folder and pushed the door open and walked into Investigation Team 13:

"Everyone, I'm back!"

In the office area, Lacey sat on her chair and spun around, pointing at the food on Winslow’s table and smiling:

"Winslow, if you come back a few minutes later, I will finish your lunch for you."

Winslow handed the folder to Mona, picked up the warm lunch on the table and smiled:

"It seems I came back at just the right time."

Luo An also heard Winslow's loud voice, walked out of the team leader's office, and asked:

"What are the results from the Trace Inspection Department?"

"The autopsy results showed that the direct cause of death of the victim was the two gunshot wounds to the back of the head."

Mona opened the folder, frowned slightly, and said:

“Ballistic testing showed that the victim’s death was caused by a new black gun with no record of its existence.

However, DNA comparison and fingerprint comparison yielded no results, and the identity of the victim could not be found.

The face was also smashed, making facial recognition impossible.

The only thing the trace examination department can confirm is that genetic testing shows that the victim has one-eighth German ancestry. "

"There are no clues in DNA or fingerprints?"

After listening to Mona's narration, Lacey's eyes suddenly widened. Chenelle frowned and looked at Winslow. Winslow spread his hands and had nothing to say. Michelle thought for a while and said:

"So, today's victim has never been caught by law enforcement for a crime?"

Luo An thought for a few seconds and said:

"Beyond that, there's another possibility."
