Chapter 807 LAPD’s Discovery and Laying the Trap


Chapter 807 LAPD’s Discovery and Laying of Traps

Although under the influence of some strange will of the universe, Officer John Nolan’s career can be said to be far more exciting than that of an ordinary patrol officer, but under the influence of the serial perverted killer He really hasn't had much contact with this kind of thing.

A certain old woman who was supposed to fall in love with him was offline early due to the appearance of someone (Chapter 86), and she failed to trouble him.

Listening to Jack's succinct analysis at this time, John couldn't help but feel a little curious, "So, is it possible that he got this kind of 'cabinomania' in prison? For example, being locked up in a small cell Being in a prison cell or something like that, so he wants others to have a taste of that?”

Angela couldn’t wait to interrupt Jack, “It’s possible that it was there before he was imprisoned, and it’s more likely. It was a triggering event in adolescence that inspired his underlying morbid psychology."

"Wow!" Jack couldn't help but look at this eldest sister with admiration. "Is it so stressful for a female to join the police detective department? With your enthusiasm for learning, you might consider re-entering university for further studies."

Angela rolled her eyes back at him, "Although that old man David Rossi is not very good at fishing, he is really good at writing books. However, I have also read your novel and it is quite interesting."
< br>"When the second part of "Jack Reacher" is published, I will sign it for you alone." Seeing that the three of them were very interested, Jack simply told them the profile of the BAU team in advance.

As the second largest police department in the United States after the NYPD, the LAPD has more than 10,000 police officers. It’s hard to tell Tim and Angela, but as an ordinary patrol officer, it is definitely impossible for John to go to the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. I went to the office to listen to the BAU team conduct profiling.

Although Jack didn’t know why they specifically called him to the branch, he was already here, so he might as well tell them in advance.

"In addition, we suspect that the murderer may have disguised himself as a federal law enforcement officer out of a desire for power. Ordinary people's respect and obedience to federal law enforcement officers satisfy this desire for power to a certain extent.

So his motive for committing the crime also includes trying to find some recognition of identity and status, and longing for the obedience of others."

"What about his criteria for choosing victims? The victim's?" Tim and Angela exchanged looks with a strange tone.

“The current victims are basically vulnerable women who live in transitional communities with poor security and are at home alone every day, making it easier for them to attack. We guess that he did some early tracking and detection, but how did he select them? In other words, the location of these targets cannot be confirmed yet."

Jack squinted at the three guys, his eyes wandering back and forth, and finally landed on the face of John, who couldn't hide his worries the most. "So. Did you discover something that made you call me to the bureau?”

John triumphantly took out a map and spread it out in front of Jack, "We weren't sure before because it was probably a coincidence, but after listening to your FBI profile, I think we probably found out how the murderer did it. Looking for the victim."

As he spoke, he pointed to the four circles marked on the map, "These are the locations of the previous four crimes. Angela retrieved the LAPD's crime map data."

As John's fingers moved, Jack found another adjacent mark near each crime location, "What is this? Another case?"

"That's right. Angela put the four files on the table, "There have been cases of women being killed or raped within the two blocks surrounding the scenes of these four serial murders."

Tim said in a deep voice. Added, "And these cases all occurred within 12 hours before each serial murder."

——

In less than an hour, everyone in the BAU team rushed to the Wilshire Police Station. As soon as Rossi entered the conference room, he said, "So the murderer probably stole a police radio. Or there is an APP installed on the mobile phone that can eavesdrop on the police radio channel."

Everyone was familiar with it and simply nodded to say hello. Angela explained, "We guess that the murderer may have been driving the car. Wandering around, as soon as he heard a call from the police about a sexual assault or murder case, he rushed to the scene of the crime to look for women who could attack him. "

"It is indeed very possible," Reid immediately agreed. "This is his strategy, to use the fear generated by other crimes around him to achieve his goals."

"Excuse me, ma'am, this is FBI Agent John Nolan, and we are investigating an incident that occurred in Regarding the case in the next block, are you aware of the terrible incident that happened last night? A woman was unfortunately killed." John said these lines to Angela without thinking, and then shuddered involuntarily, "God Ah, this is terrible, who would doubt a federal agent who comes to remind you to pay attention to your safety?"

Angela gave him a thumbs up, "Congratulations, John, you have the potential to become a serial killer."

Emily took a deep breath, "Living alone. Women are generally more cautious, but they also want to catch rapists and murderers who are hanging around as soon as possible

So when they hear that federal agents want help, they may just ask. When they asked a few questions, they would let down their guard and invite the other person in. It was this mentality of the victim that the murderer caught."

Hochner looked at the three LAPDs and said, "Looking for what happened recently. A home invasion or a murder? ”

Tim nodded and said, "Of course, we just confirmed that no new cases have been reported in the last 12 hours."

"We can't wait for a suitable crime to happen." Jiejie frowned and looked at Jack , she had already guessed someone's plan.

A smile appeared on the face of veteran fishing Jack, "Of course, so we plan to meet his request. At this time, Superintendent Gray is contacting several surrounding police stations such as the North Hollywood District and the Eastern Division, asking them to dispatch all police officers. The plainclothes police officers and detectives cooperated.”

“Let’s be clear,” Rossi said seriously, looking at the map drawn by John, “Although it is an active trap, it is still quite serious. So when a mad murderer is introduced into an unsuspecting community, there will be a large number of potential victims, and we can't be sure which innocent woman he will choose to attack. This responsibility will be shared by us.”

"That's better than sitting back and watching the murderer continue to commit crimes. I will indicate this in the report. This decision was made by me." Hotchner was ready to take the blame.

Rosie shook his head helplessly and said, "No, I mean, we need enough manpower and a careful plan."

".And enough bait, I will coordinate at least 10 "We will appoint a female undercover police officer and assign a two-person team to each of them to ensure their safety." Angela said and was about to pick up the phone.

"8 will be enough. Jiejie and I can both be used as bait." Emily and Jiejie looked at each other and volunteered.

"There must also be a corresponding number of safe houses as 'traps' to lure the other party to the door." Jack rubbed his throbbing temples and felt a little headache.

If given enough time, this kind of arrangement can be easily accomplished by either the FBI or the LAPD, but it is going to be night soon, and God knows if a murder that meets the murderer's requirements will happen in the next second.

“In the previous four cases, the murderer has always committed crimes within about two blocks of the place where the murder occurred. To be safe, we have to cover at least three blocks around the place where the crime occurred.”

Tim understood, "Manpower is not a problem. They can all be in place within an hour at most. The safe house will need the assistance of the FBI."

Hotchner reminded, "Be careful to keep the radio silent. , tell the plainclothes police officers that if you see a suspicious person, you must approach with caution, know the identity of the person, and be 100% sure before calling for support. We may only have one chance."
