Chapter 687: Is Danny a Genius
With information on 21 cases, it is of course impossible for Jack and Danny to handle all the work. Even if Mike Taylor is added, they will not be able to handle it. Soon the forensic scientist-turned-forensic researcher Sheldon Hawke and Stella joined in.
Thanks to Danny's surrender in advance, otherwise a late-night lobster snack might have bankrupted him on the spot. Fortunately, the CSI laboratory is also in Manhattan. Jack went home and cooked a few boxes of various flavors. Dumplings were delivered.
So during the break, everyone gathered together and began to study how many kinds of dumplings Jack had made.
"I ate at least three kinds, shrimp and pork, beef and potatoes, and lamb mixed with parsley." Danny barely learned to use chopsticks, and he poked the dumplings accurately, and the juices came out. Splattering around, eating your own while looking at other people's bowls.
"I have leeks and pork, bracken sprouts and ham here." Stella also looked curiously at Mike Taylor, who poked open the skin of a dumpling with a fork, his expression solemn, as if he was studying some important evidence. , "There should be some kind of shellfish and crab meat."
"You should use your taste buds to distinguish them instead of getting ready to insert them into the chromatograph for analysis." Jack was speechless and decided not to interact with this person. Help those living in food deserts continue to struggle with this topic.
He turned to Stella and asked, "How is the questioning of Mrs. Carter No. 1?"
Stella pursed her lips, looking like her outlook was shocked. "Nothing was found. She never admitted that a third person was present at the time. When I asked her why she came to the police station to surrender herself early the next morning, what do you think her answer was?"
Everyone turned their attention to Wait for her to reveal the answer.
"Deborah said she took a taxi to the Ritz Hotel, where Kevin proposed to her eight years ago." Stella recalled the conversation that made her a little uncomfortable.
“She had a few drinks at the bar, then got a room. In her words, after spending a night that truly belonged to her, she came to the police station and surrendered.”
"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Kevin Carter has found two wives with similar personalities? What's the point of his bigamy?" Danny was a little confused.
Jack has really analyzed this kind of person, "Maybe what he really cares about is not having a few wives, but he likes the feeling of walking on the tightrope, just like he has a lying habit. Or like a kleptomaniac, he can get excitement and pleasure from this dual role."
"Have you been dealing with such perverts before?" Danny held his chest. He subconsciously rubbed his arm, feeling rather shuddering.
"I'll give you a piece of advice. If you encounter a serial killer or something like that in the future, don't hold back if you have the chance." Jack deliberately put on a serious face.
"Have you heard of the 'Boston Death'? My boss Hotchner almost fell into trouble with him."
"Ahem!" Mike Taylor as lab The boss, of course, couldn't let such a disharmonious discussion spread among his subordinates. He quickly coughed and changed the subject, "Did you find anything just now?"
"Maybe, I have some discoveries here. " Danny finished his portion of dumplings in three mouthfuls, put on his gloves again and took out several evidence bags from different cases.
"This 'FedEx' delivery bag came from a drug-related home invasion and murder case in the Bronx. The corresponding analysis report said that cocaine residue was found on it."
Then he pulled out two other exhibits from underneath, each also containing a "FedEx" delivery bag.
“This is a case of illegal home invasion and murder that occurred in Westchester County, and this case is a case that occurred in the small town of Greenwich, Connecticut. The corresponding report also mentioned Cocaine residue was found
But because it belonged to three different jurisdictions and corresponded to three different police evidence laboratories, no one had noticed the connection before. ”
< br>Mike Taylor's face showed a sly smile again, and he followed his words and continued, "Until we put these cases together."
He turned on the computer and called up the electronic map, Enter the crime locations of the three cases that Danny found. "The three crime locations are less than 15 miles apart. Is anyone willing to make a bet with me that the courier of these three express packages is the same person."
“I don’t think anyone would be stupid enough to make such a bet with you, boss.” Sheldon Hawk took the three evidence bags from Danny’s hands, “I’ll go check the contents. Whether the content of cocaine is consistent, as for the identity of the courier, I leave it to our two police detectives."
——
"Marcia Basque. In 2016, when she was 17 years old, she was imprisoned for illegal possession of drugs and weapons and was sentenced to five years of probation. Because she was a minor and a plea bargain, her file was sealed and there was no record of her in the system. DNA records.
He is 23 years old, has no criminal record, and lives in the North Bronx.”
Danny closed the file, took the coffee from Jack, thanked him, and yawned loudly.
He only slept for three or four hours after returning home from the CSI laboratory last night. He received a call from Jack early this morning and hurriedly went out to do some errands. He arrived at the agreed upon location just now and waited for a while. I fell asleep in the car unknowingly.
“I went to FedEx this morning and asked. She worked there for almost 6 months. The delivery times of the three express delivery were all the day before the murder. It seems that we have found our A female serial killer."
Danny said as he rubbed his hands with a little excitement on his face.
“And you don’t plan to call for reinforcements?” Jack opened the door and got into the passenger seat of his broken police car. He first put on a body armor and then transferred the FK7.5 to the outside of his right leg. He quickly holstered his gun and took out his Glock pistol to check.
"Are you too cautious?" Danny muttered, but like him, he took out his own pistol and checked it.
"Do you still have sexism against serial killers?" Jack raised his eyebrows at him. This guy needs a beating. It seems that he needs to find a case to teach him a lesson another day.
"OK, OK, you're right." Danny usually deals with ordinary cases. In most cases, he doesn't even need to use a gun. Even his marksmanship has deteriorated a bit in the past few years since he retired from the police. , some slack is inevitable.
After saying that, he looked at the time and started driving. The plainclothes police car drove towards the Bronx, then turned around and asked, "Is there any progress in the laboratory?"
Jack shook Shaking his head, "The other cases are all a mess, and I can't find any commonalities for the time being. I sent the case information back to my colleagues at BAU, hoping that they would help make a profile, but your discovery yesterday has gone a step further. clues.
Sheldon Hawke confirmed that the cocaine residue in the three courier bags was consistent, so at least the motive for these three cases was clear. "
Danny understood, "She delivers drugs to those people, and after they sell the goods, she goes back to kill them, then takes the money and leaves. This woman should have other accomplices, She couldn't do this job alone. "
"But what do these three cases have to do with the other 18 cases and the passion murder case that occurred at the Carters' home? I can't even think of it. "Jack rubbed his temples and sighed.
"Who knows? Maybe their equipment just broke. "Danny was lying nonsense. Anyway, he was dragged to work by Jack. After all, most of the cases did not occur in New York, so he couldn't do it even if he tried hard.
"That's impossible, all these cases happened. Around New York, the jurisdictions are all different, unless all the instruments in the local police evidence laboratory are broken." Jack suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and turned his neck to Danny a little stiffly.
"Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?" Danny got goosebumps from this guy's weird look.
Jack exclaimed sincerely, "Has anyone ever said you are a genius?"
