Chapter 830 Doubts
The surveillance position is facing the back alley of the bar where parking is used. The lights are a bit dim, and you can barely see the three victims walking one after another towards the car they drove, a Ford sedan. .
"The one walking in the front is Johnny Mo, and those hugging each other behind are Katherine Sloan and Pete Hill. Well, it seems like the two of them are more than just colleagues."
Before Alice finished speaking, she saw a man and a woman on the screen kissing each other.
There is no sound in the surveillance video, but it can only be judged from body language. Johnny Mo, who had walked to the car at this time, seemed to turn around to complain or complain about something, and then Katherine Sloan and Pete Xi You laughed and continued walking towards their car.
At this time, a black SUV drove into the field of view of the monitor from the bottom of the camera and stopped. The three people who were about to get in the car suddenly turned back. As if they heard something, Katherine Sloan was the first to turn and walk towards the SUV, and the other two The person reacted a little slowly and followed soon after.
The next moment, gunfire burst out, and the driver of the black SUV opened fire directly in the car. He should have used a weapon such as an Uzi submachine gun with low recoil. After one round of shooting, the three people were killed. All knocked to the ground.
"OK, it seems that there is no need to count on either the license plate or facial recognition." Aubrey shrugged and was slightly disappointed. From the surveillance camera, it could only be seen from the top that this was an SUV, and even the specific model was not visible. It’s impossible to tell, let alone the license plate or the driver’s face.
But thinking about it, if the murderer could be found so easily, there would be no need for the local Sheriff's Office to ask the FBI for help.
"Go back, Alice, right here, stop, continue." Hannah tapped the screen with her finger and looked at the others, "Did you notice the sequence of the three people's reactions?"
< br>
Clay emptied the popcorn in Aubrey's bucket with his big hand and nodded slightly, "Yes, Katherine Sloan's reaction seemed to be several seconds faster than the other two. The driver probably called her directly. "So our suspect knew her and called her by name. What does that mean?" Jack asked, knocking on the polished bar.
"It means that the murderer is most likely targeting her. Is it possible that the others are just collateral damage?" Aubrey picked up the Coke and drank it down in one gulp, and burped loudly without any image.
Alice slapped him on the shoulder as if educating a child, "I'm going to retrieve all of Catherine's information, communication records, emails and social accounts."
"Work Both private and public," Aubrey reminded.
Jack frowned and looked at everyone. There were some things he was not willing to do, and he usually pushed them if he could. But now that Jie Jie was not here, he had no choice but to do it himself no matter how reluctant he was.
"First give me the address of Katherine Sloan's family, Hannah, and come with me to visit her parents."
——
One only A city with tens of thousands of people in China can only be called a small town. In many places, the permanent population of a medium-sized town is more than 50,000, and there are many large towns with more than 100,000 people.
In a small city like Forrest City, there are almost no office buildings except for a strip in the city center that can barely be called a commercial street. It only took Jack ten minutes to drive through the city. The central area came to the address sent by Alice.
It is still the most common single-family house in the United States. It can be seen that Katherine Sloan's family conditions are pretty good. According to the information, her father is a local accountant and her mother is a housewife. She belongs to a southern state with a relatively good family background. A privileged traditional white family.
The old couple who opened the door to greet the two FBIs looked very haggard. After hearing that Jack and Hannah revealed their identities and intentions, their originally numb faces became more alive.
Katherine's mother held Hannah's hand tightly, her red and swollen eyes full of pleading, "God bless, please find the murderer." She comforted the two old people briefly and followed them into the house. , Jack's eyes glanced at the coffee table in front of the sofa in the living room, and saw that it was filled with photos of Katherine Sloan from childhood to adulthood.
"I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. Please forgive me. We just have a few questions that need to be clarified to you." Jack asked the two old people to sit down on the sofa, and he did as he pleased. Pulled up two chairs and sat across from them with Hannah.
"Of course, no matter what you want to know, as long as it helps to catch the murderer as soon as possible, we have nothing to hide." Catherine's father seemed to be in a slightly better condition, but his eyes never left the table when talking to the two FBI. Those photos of my daughter.
Hannah sighed inconspicuously, "We want to know about Catherine's work and life status, so just tell us what you know."
Katherine's father He took a graduation photo of his daughter, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said slowly, "She has been working hard to become a lawyer since she was a child. She is smart and passionate. She has always made us proud of her."
“We are really proud of her.” Catherine’s mother nodded desperately on the side, with an expression on her face that was both crying and laughing.
“I still can’t believe why this happened and why our children were allowed to go ahead of us.”
"We are really sorry." Hannah leaned forward slightly and held her vein-covered hand, "No family should experience this kind of pain."
Waiting for the two old people to feel relieved again After coming down, Jack continued to ask, "How much do you know about your daughter's work?"
Katherine's father nodded slightly, "Ever since she became a lawyer after graduation and entered the District Attorney's Office, she has decided She set a new goal to become a respected judge.
She also worked extremely hard for this. In more than a year as a prosecutor, she never lost a case. "
In other words, although Katherine Sloan has only worked in the District Attorney's Office for more than a year, she has already sent many people to prison.
Jack and Hannah exchanged glances and continued to ask, "During this period, has she received any threats, such as anonymous calls, text messages, or being followed?"
Katherine's father Shaking her head in confusion, her mother took the initiative to take the question, "Probably not, but we can't be completely sure. Definitely, because Kate (Katherine’s nickname) lives in Caldwell, her boyfriend’s house most of the time.”
“OK, we will ask Peter Hill’s family again.” Jack Weiwei. Somewhat disappointed, it seems that like most families, Katherine Sloan obviously did not communicate much with her parents when she became an adult.
However, before he finished speaking, he saw a trace of confusion on the faces of the parents. Catherine's mother hesitated and asked, "The Pete Hill you are talking about refers to the colleague who was killed together with Kate." One? That’s not her boyfriend.”
