Chapter 817 Prison Escape (7) PS: Discovery of the Explosion
Prison guard Rowntree’s home is less than 20 kilometers away from the prison and less than 10 kilometers south of the helicopter crash site. Jack and Sheriff Roland rushed to By then, the state police forensics team hadn't even arrived.
Now was not the time to wait for the inspection team, the two directly put on shoe covers and rubber gloves and walked into the Rowntree house.
In a cookie-cutter American wooden bungalow, Jack did not enter through the door, but walked around in a circle and walked into the garage through the raised garage door in the backyard.
In the empty garage, a long trail of blood was dragged leading into the house. Miller Rountree’s body was randomly thrown in the corridor leading to the living room, the gun The holstered pistol was gone, and his wife's body lay between the kitchen and living room. The cause of death was gunshot.
"Miller Rountree was wearing a prison guard's uniform. He was probably preparing to go out after receiving a call from the prison, but he happened to be blocked in the garage by Simic and Maldonado."
After Jack finished speaking, he started to go one by one. After checking each room, unsurprisingly, I found prison uniforms and prison guard uniforms thrown away in the bathroom. The shower room also showed signs of use.
Sheriff Roland, who was following him, frowned and started counting the time with his fingers. After a while, he nodded in agreement, but still with some doubts.
"The two sides are less than 10 kilometers apart. From the walking speed, it is no problem. They came straight here after the crash. But the problem is that the airport in Scranton is in the northeast. Rowntree The home is in the southeast.
Since Simic has a gun, they can go directly to the northeast and randomly loot a house along the way, and they can still get cars and clothes. ”
Jack sneered, "It must have been Simic's idea. They didn't know that the state police set the search scope too far at the beginning, but missed the crash site not far from the prison."
said Then he opened the map on his mobile phone, first marked the crash site, and then drew a straight line between the forest and Rountree's house with his finger. Sheriff Roland, who was familiar with the local situation, immediately understood.
“This route is far away from the main road and is relatively remote and difficult to be discovered. Their advance plan obviously did not include the possibility of a helicopter accident, so the pilot did not prepare replacement clothes in advance.
Whether it is Maldonado in orange prison uniform or Simic in prison guard uniform, they are very conspicuous, this is the best choice."
While the two were talking, Jack continued to check the rooms one by one. , as soon as he opened the bedroom door, his eyelids twitched slightly, "It seems that the Rountree family, who are close to Simic, are not so innocent."
Sheriff Roland, who walked into the bedroom one step behind him, almost exclaimed, "God, there is at least 200,000 US dollars here." The closet door in the bedroom was opened, revealing a neatly stacked wardrobe. Layers of green tickets.
“A few wads were missing, about $6,000. Part of it must have been used as travel expenses. Notify the state police to check nearby shopping malls and second-hand clothing stores for surveillance.
Miller Lunt The figure between Li and the two fugitives is too different. His old clothes should not fit very well. The fugitives may buy new clothes nearby to change their appearance or even change their vehicles."
After listening to this analysis, I have already seen him. Sheriff Roland, who was extremely convinced of Jack, the FBI, quickly contacted the state police.
At the same time, Jack also called Jubal again, "Let me guess, Miller Rowntree is one of the group of guards who is solely in charge of Maldonado's cell?"< br>
"Yes, he is one of the two people in charge of the night shift. What did you find at his house? Cash?" Jubal guessed that Jack must have found evidence that Miller Rountree was bribed.
Jack snorted coldly, "At least $200,000, don't let go of his partner, and any other prison guard who is close to Simic and Miller Rountree."
"Understood. In addition, Aubrey and Jiejie just sent back news that they found the private plane Maldonado planned to use to escape at Scranton Airport, and also captured his mistress." Jubal's voice was slightly clearer. Feeling a bit relaxed, compared to being clueless at the beginning, they were finally no longer in a state of being blind and trying to figure out the elephant.
"OK, let them bring her back, and I'll rush back to the prison right away." Jack put away his phone and walked out of the house, only to realize that it was already the beginning of the night. time.
After rushing back to the prison with Sheriff Roland, in the temporary command center, Jubal was holding a dinner plate and devouring his food. Hannah and Clay had also returned, drinking water and resting aside.
"The ERT team extracted the DNA of the suspected murderer in the church, but the results will not be available until at least tomorrow morning."
Jack took the plate handed over by Hannah and couldn't help but smile slightly. Upturned, the dinner plate in the old American prison was exactly the same as the stamped stainless steel dinner plate he used in the school cafeteria in his previous life.
The prison food experience this time was much better than the one Jack had tasted in the small town of Margrave. Of course, it may also be that the prison has specially opened a special dish for everyone.
The two of them were eating and chatting face to face. Jubal, who had been reminded by Jack before, had obviously gained a lot, but his expression was a bit indescribable.
"Flynn Beckett, the prison guard who worked with Miller Rountree, has confessed that he was also paid $200,000 to facilitate Simic and Maldonado while on duty at night."
"What convenience?" Jack was a little confused. Could it be that Simic was the real mastermind of this prison escape? The two of them often need to meet at night to discuss the details of the jailbreak?
Not only Jubal, but also the expressions of Hannah and Clay sitting aside were involuntarily weird at this time.
"Tryst." Jubal said a word lightly, and the next second only heard a "poof"
Jack sprayed the mashed potatoes in his mouth clean, but luckily he responded Turn your head in time, otherwise the three people sitting opposite him may suffer.
"Walterfak! Are you serious?"
Someone's eyes widened, and he subconsciously turned to look at the two ugly faces on the evidence board that could be described as abstract, and a feeling suddenly rose in his heart. Uncontrollable nausea.
He looked at the three people who were suppressing laughter with dull eyes, put down the dinner plate and walked to the evidence board, took off the two photos above and placed them directly in front of Jubal.
"Look at this, please repeat it again and tell me what is the relationship between these two people?"
"Lovers, gay friends, couple, is it clear enough?" Jubal blocked the two photos with his hands and ate to himself without raising his head.
"No, look at this and say it again." Jack's eyes nearly popped out.
"Ugh!" Jubal subconsciously raised his head, then let out a retching sound, then grabbed the photo angrily, slapped it on the table, and then glared back angrily.
"They are a pair of gay friends, really, and Simic is crazy about Maldonado."
