Chapter 341 Is the case solved?
The big head's name is Nick Stokes, who is also Russell's subordinate. He has a square face and a strong body. At first impression, he looks more like a rugby player than one doing research in the laboratory. researcher.
Several people followed him and hurried to the back garden of the villa. There was also a middle-aged female researcher waiting here. Jack also knew her, Sarah Seidel, an ordinary-looking girl with a very high IQ. of genius.
Maybe he is not as talented as Rhett, but he is definitely one of the best among ordinary people.
Under her feet was a roll of carpet that had just been opened, completely soaked in blood, revealing the body of a young woman originally wrapped inside.
"Is this the nanny Shelby Burress?" After another brief introduction, Jack said hello, put on his gloves, and inspected the body on the ground.
This is a young girl with astonishing beauty. She is in her mid-twenties at most. Not only does she have a supermodel figure that could be on the Victoria's Secret list, but her exquisite facial features are also impressive.
Looking at this face that was very similar to Gal Gadot, Jack couldn’t help but murmured in his heart, is it necessary to do a job like a nanny with this figure and appearance? How much annual salary does this wealthy family need to hire a beauty of this level?
No detailed autopsy is needed. The fatal injuries are clear at a glance. There are two stab wounds deep into the organs on the chest and upper back. The murder weapon should be an antique long dagger with a double-edged opening.
The reason why Jack was so sure was because the murder weapon was lying at the feet of the deceased with a note on it, which read "Hubble is in my hand" written in blood.
In addition, the nails on both hands of the corpse were clean, with no obvious skin debris left by scratching, and there were no particularly typical defensive wounds elsewhere, indicating that the attack on the deceased was very sudden, and it was possible that she lost her life with the first knife. Ability to resist.
But when Jack opened the lower lip of the deceased, he found a wound on the inside.
“Is this an oral ulcer?”
“No, it should have been caused by someone covering her mouth hard and squeezing her lips and teeth.” Sarah Seidel was standing aside. said.
"This is consistent with the murderous posture of the murderer you previously speculated." Russell's words made several researchers look at Jack slightly.
"You will send the body to the laboratory immediately. Although Dr. Robbins may not be able to do an in-depth autopsy, fingerprint and blood type testing should be able to verify some of our speculations."
Dr. Robbins in Russell's mouth should It was the senior forensic doctor at the institute.
Seeing the body being carried onto the car on a stretcher, Russell waved to Jack, "Jack, will you go to the police station with me? The victim's father, TC Riordan, was invited by Detective Brace Arrived at the police station. "
Jack thought for a while, working in the BAU, on-site investigation is his job, but there are a lot of experts here, who just did their best, so he can only say that he is not timid.
Now that there is a power outage in the laboratory, the researchers are using all kinds of skills to test the evidence using the most primitive methods. Going there alone will not be of much help.
Even if it is better than middle and high school chemistry, I am far from a match for these researchers who have spent half their lives in the laboratory. There is no need to use my own interests to challenge other people's majors.
Following Russell to the police station to participate in interviews and interrogations can give full play to his strengths, at least in terms of micro-expression analysis and behavioral analysis. Even if he lacks experience and does not have friends around to advise him, isn’t there still a golden finger? Can you help make up for it?
"Of course, why not let me drive you." Jack took the initiative to extend the invitation.
Russell happily got into the passenger seat of the Firebird and looked at the interior of the Firebird. When the engine started, the dull and powerful roar made him subconsciously check his seat belt. Not fastened.
“Has your FBI salary increased?”
"Nothing. The annual salary of a trainee agent is not even as much as what I get in the LAPD. I'm just luckier...well, I don't know how to describe it." Knowing that he was talking about the expensive modification cost of this car, Jack roughly told After thinking about the plane crash I encountered, there is no need to talk about some things about the IRS, but the compensation from the airline is easier to explain.
The journey to the police station is not too far. It only takes half an hour for Jack to selectively recount his desert island adventures. Russell opened his mouth after hearing this. Time doesn't know how to evaluate his luck.
Arrived at the Las Vegas Police Station, the two met the pudgy old man again, Detective James Burress.
The latter angrily threw a thick pile of information on the table in front of the two of them.
"I think the whole thing is a scam. TC Riordan killed the poor nanny, and the child is just collateral damage."
Russell quickly read through the information, handed it to Jack, and then told Bryce The detective made a gesture, took the phone, found a conference room and walked in.
Jack quickly flipped through the information and had the same thought as the old detective. This father named TC Riordan was indeed very suspicious.
Not long after, Russell poked his head out of the conference room and waved to the two of them, "Let's summarize the existing information and context first, and then we can have a good talk with this rich man."
The three of them sat down in the conference room, and Russell listed the clues and information currently possessed by CSI one by one. Some of them were consistent with what Jack had seen and made, and some of them were unknown to him.
"Let's start with the crime scene. First of all, Jack's judgment is completely consistent with what we have done. There are at least two murderers. It is highly suspected that they are insiders. The methods of committing crimes are very rough and they are not professionals."
" We then found bloody fingerprints on the headboard, suspicious drug crystal residue near the bed and some unidentified metal debris on the bed."
"Nick and Sarah had access to all entrances and exits to the villa. Including the windows, they were carefully inspected and no traces of damage were found, which further supported the possibility that the murderer was an insider.
They also found something suspicious in a room on the first floor, which was full of items. There were candles, and there were a few drops of blood on the table, as if some kind of secret ritual had been performed."
"Finally, we just found the body of the nanny. Because of the power outage, we can't do any further autopsy, but the cause of death and the murder weapon are temporarily unavailable. All can be determined, of course, there is a bloody note.”
"The following is some information currently obtained by our researchers with simple tools.
Although DNA testing is not possible, the researchers used laboratory tests to confirm the blood types of several people. The missing boy Hubble used The blood type on the band-aid is O, which is consistent with his father's blood type, and the nanny's blood type is AB."
"All blood specimens collected in the child's bedroom were type AB, while those found near the bedside. The drug crystals were identified as chloramphenicol (an anesthetic used to relieve pain and also treat depression), so the murderer's modus operandi has been fully revealed."
Meet Detective Burris. Feeling a little dizzy, Jack organized his words a little and explained.
“The murderer entered the villa through normal means, or was in the villa himself, so he did not alert the security alarm device. Then he quietly entered the children’s bedroom, covered the mouth of the nanny who was beside the bed, and stabbed her to death. .
The murderer then injected chloramine into Hubble while he was sleeping, quietly took away the bodies of the boy and the nanny, and finally abandoned the bodies in the back garden, leaving a bloody note. "
After saying that, he looked at Russell and said, "Let me guess, does this family happen to have chloramphenicol in their medicine cabinet? ”
