Chapter 531 Capsized in the gutter?
Because most women who have suffered misfortunes will wash their bodies immediately, wipe away "dirty" traces on their bodies, and even dispose of their clothes due to psychological reasons, which brings difficulties to the evidence collection work. It's going to be a lot of trouble.
On the other hand, perhaps it is because of the prejudice of some police officers, or simply because there are too many similar cases. This type of case is like a bicycle being stolen in Serris. If Victims who are not particularly important or “special” simply don’t get enough attention.
Although it may be a bit strange to say this, for Luo Bi, it may be a blessing among misfortunes. She insisted on walking out of Central Park and appeared in public, in front of two FBI agents.
At the same time, although the social status of Luo Bin and her father is not at the top, it is still much higher than the ordinary middle class. This is why Dana Moger acquiesces to her two subordinates not doing their jobs properly.
Maybe this feels realistic, but it is reality.
Since there was no progress on Beckett's side, Jack and Hannah went directly to the CSI laboratory after leaving the federal building.
This was the first time for Hannah to come here. She looked around like a curious baby. The two of them walked around in the laboratory for a long time before they found Mike Taylor in a laboratory. At the moment, he was Busy in front of a liquid chromatograph.
Jack took off two large white coats from the hangers and handed one to Hannah. After the two put it on, they walked into the laboratory.
"Welcome, thank you for the steak yesterday. It tasted very good." Mike Taylor, who saw the two of them, thanked them first and then said.
"But I'm afraid the news I have here will disappoint you. Something went wrong with the suspect's bodily fluids we extracted."
Jack and Hannah were both slightly startled. What else could go wrong?
"We failed to extract enough DNA from the body fluids. The suspect suffered from a physiological disease and his tadpoles lacked genetic material.
Also, I just ruled out the steakhouse guy "This is what I found in the stains on Luo Bin's clothes."
As he spoke, he placed a walnut on the table.
"Uh, you found walnuts in the stain?" Hannah's face was full of confusion.
“It’s walnut powder, and it’s used to clean sculptures.” Mike Taylor helped the two FBI to learn about the uses of walnut powder.
Rainwater is usually weakly acidic and will corrode stone sculptures. Therefore, when cleaning these sculptures, weakly alkaline walnut powder is used to neutralize the acidity in the rainwater.
"We didn't see any statues along the way yesterday, which means that the walnut powder was not contaminated by Luo Bin actively, but was transferred to her body when the suspect violated her." Jack understood Mike Taylor meaning.
"Yes, and I just found out that a team of workers cleaned the statues in the south of the park yesterday. This is a major breakthrough." Mike Taylor showed a smile on his face.
Hannah showed a wry smile at the same time, "Then, if we find those cleaning workers, there is no DNA for comparison, there is no way."
Jack smiled and touched her with his shoulder, "On the bright side I think, although we can’t get evidence, we can at least rule out some of the suspects.”
Leaving the laboratory, Jack and Hannah went to the hospital. CSI will be responsible for collecting body fluid samples from those workers, but even if A suspect who also suffered from azoospermia was found, and they lacked enough evidence to bring him to court. Now they can only hope to find some evidence from the victim.
However, today seemed destined to be a day of bad luck. The two met Stella in the hospital who also came here to get some clues, but judging from her face, it was obvious that they could not gain anything.
"As you guessed, Luo Bin got off work from the publishing house early yesterday in order to attend the cocktail party on time, went home, took a shower, put on a beautiful evening dress, and went out to But because of the traffic jam, she asked the taxi driver to get off the car near Central Park and wanted to go directly through the park to the other side, but she encountered misfortune.
But she refused to recall what happened after that. In view of her current mental state, I can’t help it.”
Stella looked a little depressed. She was sympathetic to the girl’s misfortune, but also worried about the case. Feeling anxious that there was no progress, Hannah was no better than her. Looking at the two kind-hearted girls with sad faces, Jack didn't know how to comfort them.
Just as they were about to leave the hospital together. At that moment, Luo Bin's father stopped in front of the three of them. This poor middle-aged man had been standing guard outside the ward. When he saw the three of them, he couldn't help but have a look of begging in his eyes
"She said she didn't want anything. I don’t remember, is this normal? ”
"Considering that your daughter has been hit on the head, it is normal to have short-term memory loss, and the human body has many ways to protect itself, and shielding the memory of unfortunate encounters is one of them."
Jack tried his best to speak. Gotta be tactful.
"Have you found the suspect?" Mr. Peacock asked eagerly.
"We are still investigating, the police will..." Before Stella could finish her words, she was interrupted by the other party's harsh tone.
"I don't want to hear these official answers." Then he seemed to subconsciously realize that there was something wrong with his attitude, his tone softened again, and he clasped his palms together and begged.
"Please, I am her father, and I don't want to know the details of the case through the media."
Jack looked left and right, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and came to a corner where no one would pass by, " First of all, please believe in the professionalism of the NYPD, or at least the professionalism of Detective Beckett and CSI who are doing their best to investigate. No one will disclose the details of the case to the media at will.
This is my responsibility as an FBI. Guaranteed. Secondly, we have eliminated one suspect and the case is moving forward. What you should do now is to stay with your daughter and help her get over the pain as soon as possible."
Mr. Peacock. After staring at the three people for a long time, his eyes gradually turned red, and finally he leaned against the wall weakly, slowly slumped to the ground, hiding his entire face in his hands, and his voice was filled with tears.
“I raised my daughter alone. In her mind, I have always been her omnipotent father, and I have always thought so. But now, I can’t do anything. I can only look at her like this."
"I don't think so." Hannah, who had been silent at this time, knelt down and said seriously to the sad father, "Luo Bin is a strong girl. Stella and I did the test for her last night.
Your daughter almost died last night. She fought hard and was covered in injuries. Even her nails were worn flat. But in the end she got back on her feet and walked out of the park. I don’t know what happened. This kind of will made her insist on walking to the reception, but I know that her only thought at that time was to find you and see her father again."
Jack reached out and helped the sad father up from the ground. , helped him straighten his clothes, "Believe us, we will do our best to catch the murderer, and the only thing you have to do now is to stay with your daughter."
Time has arrived for the third time On the same day, worse news came from the CSI laboratory. The body fluids of the four cleaning workers were all normal, and the suspects were ruled out.
Jack feels a little overwhelmed. The place is under surveillance but there is no surveillance. There are no witnesses at the scene. All the suspects that can be found so far have been ruled out. Could it be that without the help of BAU friends, he can't Are you going to stumble on such a small case?
