Chapter 771 Numb Alice
The problem is that the FBI’s quick response does not mean that the local police department will fully cooperate. No matter how strong Jiejie’s communication skills are, it can only ensure smoother exchange of information between them. There is no way to use it. Pick up the whip and let them keep an eye on every suspicious vehicle passing by on the highway.
"Jack, the doorbell video is done." When several people finished checking the upstairs bedroom, Hannah and Jubal stayed downstairs together. They had just completed the copy of the surveillance data and followed the incident The corresponding video clips were captured at the time.
The so-called visual doorbell is to install a camera on the doorbell. When someone presses the doorbell, the resident can directly see the person who rings the doorbell through a small screen in the house.
Nowadays, with the iterative update of technology, the visual doorbell has directly turned into a surveillance camera, connected to the resident's computer, achieving 24-hour uninterrupted surveillance video.
Unlike Jiejie's upgrade route of taking a behavioral analysis course and becoming a behavior analyst, Hannah chose the technical stream route.
She originally liked all kinds of video games, and her computer skills were no worse than Jack's, so she simply chose to learn some practical skills in software.
Although it is just starting out, it is very difficult to type a code, but who made her and Jack know the same hacker master? Justin threw a bunch of practical tools to her, from simple password cracking to tracking IP There are all kinds of Trojan horse programs at the address, and they also come with fool-proof operation instructions. Most of them can be completed with just a click of the mouse.
This has greatly enhanced Hannah's interest in learning to some extent, and she often invades Jack's computer to check his coding progress, euphemistically called practicing.
Fortunately, when someone wrote about Mary Sue and Long Ao Tianwen, he used a special tablet, which was physically isolated from the Internet, otherwise he might not have been discovered long ago.
Everyone gathered around Hannah and watched the surveillance video played on the screen. It was just after nine o'clock in the morning. Like a couple, a man and a woman rode crookedly to the front of Hargrove's house on a bicycle.
The two of them threw their bicycles on the lawn casually. Ronnie put his hands in his pockets and walked to the door casually. He smiled like a bitch and pressed the doorbell at the same time. The young woman with a slightly dull face He was limping behind him, giving him a weird feeling.
"Can you go back and play it again?" Clay suddenly said.
Hannah replayed the paragraph as instructed. Clay pointed at the young woman behind Ronnie and said, "Look at the way she walks. I have seen similar situations in the military rehabilitation center. Some heads The behavior of people who have suffered trauma is very similar to hers."
Jubal nodded in agreement, "It seems that the person we are looking for is likely to be a survivor of an accident. Update the video and this information to us. Alice, ask her to use the facial recognition program to search the relevant database, and did the surveillance capture what happened when they left?”
"Yes, but only Ronnie was photographed." After saying this, Hannah fast-forwarded the video until Ronnie's back appeared in front of the camera again. Jack noticed that the video time was almost 12 noon.
Ronnie appeared in the picture leisurely with a key ring on his finger. He suddenly stopped, turned around and gave a weird smile, then came to the camera and stuck out his tongue to lick it, and then He stepped back and waved to the camera.
"It's really disgusting." Clay subconsciously stretched his fingers, opened them and squeezed them again, as if he was ready to touch his own gun at the next moment.
Jack felt a little itchy, "Ronnie knew he was being photographed, so his behavior was not impulsive or unplanned. This bastard knew exactly what he was doing. Leaving so many clues was just a matter of course. Because he doesn't care, it's like he's playing a game."
"Is there a navigation on the missing Chevrolet Malibu?" Jiejie asked Agent Dodd, who was also standing nearby watching the video.
"No, but the license plate information has been sent to the state police. I hope they can find something." Agent Dodd replied.
Jubal didn't have a pencil in his hand today, and he always felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said, "OK, then Jack, Clay, and Hannah will stay for now, and Jiejie will go to the state police." While coordinating and following up, I'll meet up with Aubrey and Alice. They should be here soon."
There is no need for the base vehicle to park at the crime scene, the FBI can do it in a small place like this. There is no office, but the parking lot of the local police station is a good choice. They came here with enough supplies. Then they will just connect a water pipe to replenish the water tank in the car. After all, this is not a wilderness. There is no need for everyone to sleep in the car overnight. Just leave one or two people to accompany Alice, and the others can find a hotel to spend the night.
The three Jacks stayed at the scene for another two hours, and only left after receiving news from Jubal.
There is a saying that if there are flaws all over, there will be no flaws. This kind of crime scene is similar. Too many clues sometimes just increase the workload of the forensic personnel.
The identity of the murderer has been confirmed and a wanted order has been issued. The confusing clues at the scene are actually of no use for the time being, but the forensic investigators have to work, because these are all evidence that will be needed in court in the future.
For the wanted team, what they need now is clues that can point out the whereabouts of the two people. Jack and the three searched back and forth at the scene several times, but finally found nothing.
Of course, this is also expected. After all, the two people came here empty-handed on bicycles and did not even prepare the murder weapon in advance. Now they can only count on the state police to work harder and find the missing car as soon as possible.
In the evening, everyone found a steakhouse in the city center for dinner. Except for Jack and Aubrey, who still had a big appetite, everyone else seemed to have little appetite. The steak knife in Hannah's hand cut the plate with a squeaking sound. But I haven't had a bite for a long time.
After Alice called her daughter, she looked at the crowd with some confusion. All these guys looked serious, completely different from the energetic look they had when they went out.
Especially Clay, whose tender face after shaving and a body of tendon meat have always attracted the attention of ladies, but now his whole body exuded an aura of keeping strangers away. His eyes were fierce, and he had the aura of choosing someone to eat.
"Mom is not here, is your daughter okay?" It was Jack who suggested that Alice follow the car, so he naturally had to be concerned.
"Of course, my parents have been helping to take care of her since she was a child, and they are very close." After explaining, Alice glanced at Jack and asked in a low voice, "Why does everyone seem to be there? Angry?”
“Because the guy we have to deal with this time is a beast, inhumane, and a young girl fell into his hands. She still doesn’t know whether she is alive or dead, so everyone is very angry. , but nothing can be done for the time being.”
Jack has killed several similar perverts. Aubrey should be used to it after seeing too many capitalists on Wall Street who eat people without spitting out their bones. Moreover, this guy is a bit heartless. The last time he saw a rotten corpse by the lake, he vomited it. There was a commotion, and I turned around to make up for it with a meal of hamburger and milk tea.
However, Alice's behavior was a bit strange. Although she was not at the scene before, she must have looked at all the photos and videos sent back. She seemed a little too calm.
“Perhaps it’s because I was in charge of working with the wanted criminal team and other task forces before, so I have seen too many similar cases.”
Alice explained in a low voice Said, "Although there are many criminals on wanted warrants, chasing them requires a lot of time and money. One case after another is shelved, restarted, and shelved again until the other party is finally arrested due to mistakes or various reasons."
Jack suddenly realized that although they seemed to be frequently exposed to cases as field agents, the people who really came into contact with a large number of cases were actually internal technicians like Alice.
When the operations center is not in use, they have to serve multiple task forces at the same time, and are exposed to new cases almost every day, sometimes even several cases a day. No matter how emotional people are, they will have to become numb after working for several years.
