Chapter 109 Large-Denomination Counterfeit Banknotes
"Are you sure?" Angela obviously thought the same way. A murder case involving a tens of millions of counterfeit banknotes was no less than pie in the sky.
“This is the most authentic counterfeit banknote I have ever seen, but it is definitely fake. When I was a construction contractor, I often came into contact with cash, especially such large denominations.”
John swears by it. .
“It is very realistic, but the color of the fluorescent identification line under ultraviolet irradiation is wrong. The 100 yuan version of the 1996 version should not be blue, but red.”
Jack thoughtfully pushed open the door of the interrogation room again, probed his head and asked Mickey, "Are those machines that Joe saw printers?"
"Yes." Mickey nodded.
"Tell us where the money was found."
——
Dividing Line-——
"This is not the mission of fighting counterfeit money that you and I pictured."
This is 214 Mill Street. The empty factory building is empty. There are neither the shelves of counterfeit money that Mickey said, nor the There is no such thing as a professional printer.
The heavily armed SWAT team leader Hondo was followed by several team members, laughing and teasing Tim, who was leading the team.
Nila, who was also called to help, looked around with a tactical flashlight, and also asked questions suspiciously.
“Are you sure that guy from the army is telling the truth?”
"Yes, I believe him." Tim's tone was very firm.
Jack ran his fingers over the corners of the shelves, then rubbed them gently, carefully experiencing the feel.
“There must have been a lot of paper products on the shelves. This is not dust, but very fine paper scraps. I am not sure whether it is acid-free paper, but forensics can easily detect it.”
Tim glanced at him and nodded: "They must have moved after killing Joe."
"Then their methods must be very professional, and it can't be seen from the surface at all. Counterfeit money has been printed here, and it's been cleaned up too well." Hondo held up his rifle and looked around.
"Maybe, not necessarily, guys, come here and take a look." John picked out a small piece of paper from the crack in the door.
"What did you find?" Everyone gathered around.
John showed the piece of paper in front of Lucy and Jack, "Do you think the LOGO on this looks familiar?"
"This is not the maintenance one when you and Lucy searched in the morning. Is it on the worker’s uniform of the camera? It’s also printed on the van behind him.”
Jack recognized this blue pattern at a glance.
"Yes, just across the road from where Joe was killed." John was very excited.
"He said the camera has been broken for a week."
"Did you ask for his name?" Nila asked hurriedly.
"No, I thought the camera clue was useless." John suddenly became upset.
“Well, I think my body camera may have captured him. When Jack and I were chasing the thief, I turned on the camera and then left it off.”
Lucy excitedly took out her mobile phone and connected her law enforcement recorder. Sure enough, she found a video of the black maintenance worker and the van with the blue logo on it.
"He wasn't really repairing the camera at the time, he just wanted to fool us. This person must be related to this case."
Tim nodded, "Go back and scan it with facial recognition , see if we can find this person’s information.”
Before he finished speaking, Tim's walkie-talkie rang, and Superintendent Gray's call came from inside: "Bradford, you guys leave the building immediately and come back to the police station."
< br>Tim thought he heard it wrong: "Sir?"
"Hurry up and close the team, come back now, this is an order."
Everyone on the side looked sideways, puzzled. "What's going on?"
"I just received a call from the Chief Superintendent. Your search has alerted very high-level people, at the federal level."
By the time everyone gathered up, it was already dark. In the briefing room of Wilshire Police Station, Zoe and Superintendent Gray had been waiting for a long time.
"But this is a murder case, and we just sit back and ignore it?" John asked doubtfully.
Zoe shook her head, "No, but we can't continue tracing through counterfeit banknotes."
Everyone looked at each other, Tim seemed to have guessed something, but was a little unwilling: "But now we only have This clue, the evidence shows that this is a case."
"So what is the situation, Director?" Nila asked.
Zoe continued to shake her head: "The chief superintendent was unwilling to reveal to me where the order came from. He only said that the level was very high and there was no need to discuss it."
Superintendent Gray sighed, also looking helpless. "Let's get off work first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning, that's it."
"This is wrong." Angela was very unhappy. The bag of yogurt balls in her hand couldn't calm her mood at the moment. Everyone who searched the warehouse was worried about the danger. , put the pregnant woman in the end, and Nila replaced her. Now the case has been suspended again, which made the sisters extremely unhappy.
“Of course it’s not right, but this is an order.” Superintendent Gray turned around and emphasized again, and then left the conference room with Zoe.
"So that's it? Don't care?" Jack was also very depressed, seeing a lot of experience just gone.
“If we want to be wise, this is it.” Nila reached out and took out a yogurt ball from the snack bag in Angela’s hand.
Lucy raised her eyebrows, "You don't deny it."
Angela glared at Tim, "What do you say."
Although she cared about this case, But Tim is more involved. His former comrade is still in the detention room.
Tim crossed his arms and analyzed carefully: "Obviously this case conflicts with the tasks of some federal departments, but we lack enough information and don't know how to proceed."
"I Ask someone from the FBI?" Jack raised his phone. Of course he wasn't asking for Hannah, she was just a trainee agent now, but David Rossi's authority was definitely enough.
"It's useless." Tim raised his hand to stop him.
"If the FBI was investigating the counterfeit money case, there would be no need to be so secretive. They would take over the case directly and then direct the LAPD around."
"So." Jack He trailed off, waiting for Tim to answer.
"To find out which federal department is behind this, we can only alert the enemy, pretend to be unwilling to give up, and wait for them to come to us."
"Then how do we alert the other party? ?" Lucy tilted her head, looking confused.
"I submitted a facial recognition application to the federal database in the name of the superintendent, uploaded the photo of the guy who repaired the camera, and then"
Tim held his chin in his hand, lost in thought.
"Then what?" Lucy continued to ask.
"Then just play by ear. We won't be able to pursue the counterfeit money case. If we follow the clues of the murder case, no one will be able to say anything."
Jack spread his hands and dismissed the others. Doubts in my heart.
The gangster who repaired the camera appeared at the murder scene. Whether he was a member of a criminal gang printing counterfeit money or a federal agent investigating the case, he could be regarded as a suspect in the murder.
