Chapter 847 Hancheng Strategy (1)
Alice was originally sitting next to Jubal and watching him flip through the information. Before she could react to Jiejie’s reminder, she saw that Jubal had already turned to the post with the scene. That page of photos.
"Oh my god, what happened to her face?" She turned her head subconsciously, then felt that this behavior was too unprofessional for an FBI agent, and forced herself to move her eyes back. .
The photo is very clear, but it also makes the viewer feel a strong discomfort from a physical level, especially after just seeing Jessica Townsend's daily life photos.
The corpse should have been discovered more than 3-4 days after death. It had already shown the early form of a giant, with round eyes, slightly protruding eyeballs, swollen lips and protruding tongue.
Although the body was obscured by clothes and could not clearly see the condition of the body, the dirty green branch-like network of corrupt veins was clearly visible, extending from the neck to the face.
However, this is only the appearance caused by the decay of the corpse. The most uncomfortable thing is precisely the face of the corpse. Jessica Townsend's originally beautiful face is covered with various cuts.
The longest cut stretched from her temple along her cheek to her mandible, as if the murderer had tried to peel off her entire face.
"There are at least a hundred stab wounds, and the bones of the bridge of the nose and jaw seem to be broken." Except for Jack, who looked at the photo carefully, Jubal was the only one among the people who could look directly at such a tragic photo of a corpse without changing his expression.
"Itaewon is the most famous entertainment district in Seoul, so the identity of the suspect is likely to be complicated, a national, a foreigner, or even"
Although Jubal said half of what he said, everyone could understand the meaning behind it.
Itaewon is located on the east side of the mountains in the southern part of Yongsan District, Seoul. Next to it is Yongsan Base, one of the former military camps of the US Army in South Korea.
This military base is only a few kilometers away from the Blue House. It can only be called a "personal bodyguard". However, the cost of raising this "personal bodyguard" for a big country in the universe is also extremely high.
In addition to providing food and drink, the "personal bodyguards" are all young and strong men, and naturally they also need to help solve physical problems.
As a result, Itaewon, located between the northern and southern camps of Yongsan Base, prospered. At first, it was a "pub" and "tea room", and later it became a variety of bars and clubs with shining neon lights. .
At that time, the economy of the big country in the universe was extremely bad, but each of the "personal bodyguards" was quite wealthy. For the price of a Marlboro cigarette, they could enjoy imperial service in these bars and clubs, so naturally they flocked to them one by one.
However, no matter how strong the cattle are, they will be exhausted sometimes, not to mention that the good and bad fields are mixed, leading to diseases.
Seeing these strong "personal bodyguards" talking about the rainy plum rain, their bodies were visibly haggard, and the infection rate even reached 60% at one point.
The authorities of the big country in the universe were so distressed that they quickly spent a lot of effort to carry out renovations. They demolished all the dilapidated and leaky bungalows and built a prosperous commercial street.
At the same time, millions of young women were organized to provide them with English and "vocational skills" training. They were all named "civilian diplomats" and announced that they were engaged in "improving the morale of Allied officers and soldiers and protecting the country." security and boost the national economy”.
In addition, the authorities also provide regular physical examinations for these "civilian diplomats", spend a lot of money to purchase penicillin, and provide high-dose penicillin treatment to "a few" unfortunately sick women, encouraging them to continue their efforts and make more money for the country. Get foreign exchange.
Although the Yongsan base has been relocated and more than 20,000 "bodyguards" and their families have moved into Humphrey Barracks in Pyeongtaek City, Gyeonggi Province, Itaewon has not declined.
This has become the most famous "fashionable" place in Seoul. Countless foreign tourists have fun in the bars and nightclubs here. Of course, there are still many soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms.
Jack guessed that this was also the reason why the Korean Police Agency showed such a cooperative attitude towards the arrival of the FBI. Considering that the possible identity of the murderer is too sensitive, there should not be many prosecutors willing to take on this hot potato. The reason why it is said to be a prosecutor instead of the Korean police is naturally because of the special independent prosecutor system of the great country in the universe.
Anyone who has watched a few Korean dramas knows that the Korean police are probably one of the most useless police officers in the world, because they do not even have the basic power to handle cases independently.
In this country, all criminal case investigations are initiated and completed in the personal name of the prosecutor, and the decision-making power of investigation and conviction of a case is entirely in the hands of the prosecutor.
In other words, even if a criminal kills someone in front of the police, everything is captured by the police recorder. As long as the prosecutor does not nod, the police can only let him go.
The more something is lacking, the more we need to film it. The image of the upright and selfless prosecutors in Korean dramas is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It seems that this group is the blue sky above all the people of the country, and it is ordinary people fighting against the bullying of the chaebols. the only hope.
However, in fact, the independent prosecutor system of the great country in the universe is like the "Special Investigation Department" in the prosecutorial system of the Neon Country next door. It is an extremely sharp weapon in the hands of the United States. Just use a sharp knife.
All the former presidents who have been disgraced and will not rest in peace have expressed their sincere acceptance of this.
A country garrisoned by other countries cannot have any complete sovereignty. Their proud independent prosecutor system, which claims to have more power than the president, has been a deformed monster since its birth. .
However, these have nothing to do with the local FBI. They only care about finding the real culprit. As for the identity of the real culprit and whether the case will eventually enter the judicial process, that is left to the top officials of the two countries. Go talk about nonsense.
After reading the information, everyone's expressions were a little grim. They didn't need to consider the twists and turns behind the case, but just looking at the method of committing the crime, it was already quite difficult.
“Let me guess, this case wasn’t just photographed by reporters and the public opinion couldn’t be suppressed before they called us here? Usually only serial murder cases have this kind of methodical behavior. I bet you $20 that this isn’t the first corpse dumped in public.”
Jack lazily leaned back on the sofa, closed the folder and handed it to Clay who was waiting aside.
“It probably wasn’t a soldier who did it, at least no relevant clues have been found so far, otherwise it wouldn’t be us who showed up here, but NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) or the Army Military Police Investigation Team. ” Clay offered his perspective from a veteran’s perspective.
“It doesn’t look like a cult, at least the photos of the scene don’t show any religious symbols or ritual scenes.” Hannah said and turned on the TV.
I randomly changed a few news stations, and sure enough, one was reporting on this case. Although no one here except Jack could understand Korean or read Korean letters, the TV station surprisingly reported the victim Jessica... Townsend's headshot was released.
"If it is really a serial killing, such a high-profile report is likely to stimulate the murderer and increase his killing efficiency. We must hurry up before seeing more corpses."

As he spoke, Jubal stood up from the sofa and looked at the decoration of this high-end suite with a rather pityful look.
“People from the police department and the embassy will send us our guns and documents soon, and then Aubrey and Alice will rent a house as our base of operations for the next few days. Remember to Find a place with a better network."
"Why?" Aubrey was a little confused, "Aren't we staying in a hotel?"
"How many people will be watching us? Want to know the progress of the investigation of the case?" Jack looked at him like a fool, and finally sighed helplessly.
"We are operating overseas. Have you forgotten all the counter-intelligence knowledge you learned in Quanti Science?"
