Chapter 340 The Missing Little Boy and the Murdered Nanny (Thanks to the old friend for the reward)
"Can you take me to see the scene again?" Jack asked.
Russell took out a flashlight and raised his chin towards the door of the villa, "Julie and I will accompany you. After that, we will talk to the victim's father together."
< br>While talking, the three of them walked into the villa and walked up to the second floor. Sister Julie Finn took the initiative to introduce what they had learned before.
"The victim is a five-year-old boy named Harper Riordan. Also missing is the child's nanny, Shelby Burress."
"This is a single-parent family. The person who reported the crime was the child's father, TC Riordan. According to him, he had already fallen asleep when the nanny was putting the child to bed."
"What's the time?" Jack He asked while using his cell phone as a flashlight, illuminating the luxurious decorations in the house on the stairs.
"According to the father, the child should be put to bed by the nanny at 10 o'clock, and it was about 11:30 when he woke up to check on the child."
After Russell finished speaking, he took out his pocket again. He took out a flashlight and handed it to Jack, "Now the mobile phone battery is our only lifeline, so don't waste it."
Jack turned off the flashlight mode of his mobile phone as usual. As a person from the Death Star who will die when the battery is low, his The battery of the mobile phone remains above 80% all year round. Not only is the charging cable always plugged in in the car, but there is also a large-capacity power bank in the work bag.
Climbing up the stairs to the second floor, passing through a long corridor and several rooms, the three of them arrived at the innermost part.
"This is the nanny's room, next to it is the children's bedroom. Pay attention to the evidence marks on the ground."
As they spoke, the two stood at the door of the children's bedroom, lighting Jack with a flashlight and signaling that he was alone. Go in and check it out.
Jack carefully avoided the small yellow plastic sign with numbers printed on the ground and walked between the window and the small bed. There were wet blood stains everywhere.
There were blood drops dripping vertically on the floor, and there were spattered blood stains on the walls and ceiling. There were even spurts of blood on the small pillow on the bed and the sheets beside it.
Jack made a few postures beside the bed, turned around and asked, "Have you not found the body of the nanny yet?"
Russell did not speak, but Julie Finn raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Two lab partners are searching for suspicious traces around the house, but how do you know the nanny is dead?"
Jack raised his flashlight, feeling that this kind of question was a bit childish, let alone him With forensic skills that can be upgraded to proficient level immediately, even ordinary people who often watch crime-solving American TV series can answer the question.
“The blood drops on the ceiling are basically in the shape of large round drops. These are typical splashes from broken arteries, rather than being sprinkled on the wall by forcefully wielding a knife during the murder. Well, on the wall These may be."
Then he rubbed one foot on the floor, "There should have been a carpet here. There is a clear dividing line between old and new on the floor, and the blood stains are on the floor. There is one on one side of the boundary but none on the other side, indicating that the carpet was taken away after the incident.”
"So what is the purpose of the carpet? Wrapping the body, isn't it?"
After speaking, Jack stood beside the bed, hugging him with his left hand as if to control someone, and then quickly made several stabbing movements with his right hand. , when waving his arms, he also deliberately moved in the same direction as the blood stains thrown up on the wall.
“There is no need to use this method to deal with a five-year-old child. The victim is most likely the nanny. Although the blood left at the scene is not fatal, judging from the way the blood spattered, The possibility of the victim surviving is almost zero.”
Julie Finn also walked into the room and pointed the light of the flashlight at the bedside. There was some white residue there, like some kind of liquid left after evaporation. Down. "We found some unknown white crystals here, and also found some metal scraps on the bed. They had all been packed and sent to the laboratory before, but in this situation, God knows how long it will take to find the answer."< br>
Jack nodded to express his understanding while observing the situation on the windowsill and outside the window.
“So you found BAU. This kind of semi-floor-to-ceiling window is very heavy and difficult to open from the outside. The floating dust on the window sill is still there.
Considering that there are so many left at the scene There are many evidences, and there are even bloody fingerprints on the bedside, which shows that the murderer is not professional enough, basically ruling out the possibility of breaking in from outside."
"I personally think there is at least one murderer who moved the body and took away the children. Colleagues, have you investigated the people inside the villa?"
Russell shook his head, "I just had a brief chat with Hubble's father, TC. The child's mother passed away five years ago, Bray. Detective Si is also investigating the situation of the servants in the villa, including investigating the background of the nanny Shelby Burress."
"The laboratory is overcoming the difficulty of losing the equipment. DNA cannot be done for sure, but chemical reagents can be used to identify the blood type of those blood stains - Hubble's father provided his own fingerprints and blood samples, as well as a band-aid used by his child.
In addition, we are still trying to compare the fingerprints at the scene with the naked eye."
"Wow, that is a big project." Jack sighed and continued to ask, "Can we rule out the father of the child. "Is he suspected?"
The two shook their heads at the same time. Julie Finn glanced at Russell and said, "I think he is very suspicious. He said he was just asleep in the small room and didn't hear anything."
But when we saw him, he was wearing evening clothes. Of course, his explanation was that he originally planned to go out tonight, but later changed his mind.”
Sure enough, Russell immediately retorted, "Having said that, don't jump to conclusions too early."
Julie Finn seemed very confident, "You know, more than two hours have passed now. Well, if he is a kidnapper, no one has called TC Riordan to negotiate terms yet."
"I know that he is a little suspicious, but I think this case may not be solved. Common sense plays the cards, which is why I called Rossi. Anyway, he still owes me a lot of favors."
Russell said this, but looked at Jack, looking like a young man. Look after you and don't let me down.
Jack didn't bother to wonder if these two aunts and uncles were acting to trick him. Since he was here, and it was obvious that CSI and BAU had a long-term cooperative relationship, of course he had to try his best.
It is unlikely that this kind of kidnapping case would require risking one's life. It is nothing more than using your brain. You have to worry about it, so you don't want to coerce these highly intelligent researchers.
Just as the three of them returned to the corridor and were about to go downstairs, there was a rush of footsteps on the wooden stairs. Jack curiously pointed the flashlight at the ground in the direction of the visitor. Soon, a simple-looking man appeared on the ground. The big head appeared at the top of the stairs.
“D·B, we found the body of the nanny in the garden.”
