Chapter 1092 The Crazy Seal
“Agent Tavole, Agent Jeange, you are younger than I thought.”
The white-haired old man has a straight body, but with his It is said that he has a military demeanor, and he feels more like a dignified university professor.
"Hello, Agent Gibbs."
The two of them shook hands with Jethro Gibbs respectively. Jack's eyes swept across the open office behind him, which was quite interesting. Surprisingly, I found that the seats were all empty.
"That's why we forwarded the case to the FBI." Gibbs noticed his surprise, turned around and made an inviting gesture, and then led the two of them to the small conference room next to them.
"As you can see, manpower problems have been plaguing the NCIS field team recently. My team members are currently investigating a drug case on a warship deep in the Atlantic Ocean."
< br>"I'm glad we can help." Jiejie said politely after sitting down.
"These are the files of Adam Weiner. As you can see, he was the commander of a SEAL team. It was out of some concerns that we learned about his death on the first day of his death. I contacted you immediately
But unfortunately, it seems that things are going in a direction that no one wants.”
Seeing that the files were proactively provided by the Navy, Jack and Jiejie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before arriving, they had been mentally prepared to continue going to JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) to retrieve the files.
Although Clay's "DEVGRU" is also called a SEAL in the outside world, the two SEALs are completely different. The former is affiliated with JSOC. Although the personnel selection comes from the latter, it does not directly accept the Navy. command.
The official name of Adam Weiner's unit is the Naval Special Warfare Group, and the abbreviation is "SEAL", which is the real origin of the name SEAL.
"SEAL" is affiliated to the Naval Special Warfare Command. Although it can be regarded as the T2 level of the US military's special forces, they are actually the main force doing all kinds of dirty work.
“We have temporarily ruled out the issue of the ‘Cenalock’ company and will focus our investigation on Adam Weiner’s relatives and comrades.”
Since the navy was so proactive in cooperating, it was natural for Jack to reciprocate the favor and reveal his side's thoughts.
"NCIS will fully cooperate with you to do what you want to do. I heard that you have a good command vehicle. The parking lot here is spacious enough. If you need me, I will be here at any time."
Gibbs said it a little euphemistically, but his meaning was very clear. If the case really related to the Navy, NCIS was willing to open their authority to the wanted criminal team.
"Thank you very much." Jack was about to stand up with Jiejie to say goodbye, but he happened to meet Gibbs' eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling.
"There is someone who should be looking forward to meeting you. Are you really not going to have a few words with her?"
——
"Oh God! Poor Jack, you must be possessed by something."
There is a spider web tattoo on the back of his neck, with high twin ponytails, and he is wiping The goth girl with weird black lipstick screamed when she saw Jack for the first time, and then she rushed towards him and gave him a big hug.
"Abby, calm down." Jack grabbed her wrist and stopped her from poking her chest muscles with her fingers.
"You're not cute at all now. Of course I'm just talking about your figure." Abby struggled for a while and finally gave up the idea of squeezing his gluteus maximus.
If Jack was still the weakling and thin bamboo pole he was before, he would be lucky to at least have her as a girlfriend who can cover up everything.
Although it was a rare gathering of old friends, it was obviously not the right time right now. The two parties just chatted briefly, and Jack and Jiejie had to leave the Navy compound in a hurry because of a phone call.
A tragedy occurred in Harrisonburg this afternoon. An old couple was found dead in their home. Neighbors who heard unusual noises called the police.
——
Harrisonburg is less than half an hour's drive from Charlottesville, so when Jack and Jiejie arrived, the command vehicle of the wanted criminal team was already parked. On the road in front of a house.
"Are you sure it was our suspect who did it?" Jack asked with a frown after greeting Alice who was staying behind in the command vehicle.
"Yes, the suspect's name is Luke Dolan, and he is the son of this family. The neighbor across the door saw him hurriedly fleeing the house after hearing an unusual noise."
Alice Showing the communication record in her hand to Jack, "I found his name in the call records of the 'Sena Lock' company. In addition, the file shows that he and Adam Weiner once served in the same army."
"It's just terrible." Jack almost couldn't hold back the swear words, he was really afraid of what would happen.
Adam Weiner's service record has been altered for confidentiality reasons. If the murderer Luke Dolan was a comrade with him, he was probably also a SEAL.
This guy first killed his former comrades, and then his parents, which meant that the person they had to deal with now was most likely a mental patient who was proficient in special operations.
"This is Adam Weiner's 'SEAL' profile, as well as the contact information for NCIS Special Agent Jethro Gibbs. Contact him immediately to request Luke Dolan's file.< br>
Also tell him that we really need to borrow the NCIS parking lot." Jack handed the information to Alice and hurriedly got out of the car.
"Huh?" Alice obviously didn't understand what he meant after that sentence.
"He means that we will be busy all night tonight." Jiejie shrugged and got out of the car.
Jack stepped onto the lawn in front of the house and his eyes fell on a row of flower pots under the eaves. It could be seen that the owner here took good care of these plants.
The tulips have not bloomed yet, but the flower buds are already very full, and the iris, daffodils and some unknown orchid are already in full bloom, swaying gently in the breeze.
“Jack?” Seeing him stop, Jie Jie called softly with some worry.
Jack sighed, "I'm fine, but this case makes me very unhappy."
At this time there was another person in the room who was even more unhappy than Jack, "He obviously has the most A perfect life, why ruin it all with your own hands?”
Clay was raised by his grandparents as a child because his parents divorced. He had never experienced the love between his parents and his eyes were filled with tears.
Jack winked at Aubrey, "Why don't you go check out other houses, including the garage and stuff like that."
"Come on guys, this is our job." Aubrey patted Clay on the shoulder, dragged him by the arm and forcibly led him out of the bedroom.
The closet door used as a wardrobe in the bedroom was open, and there were two corpses lying inside, with multiple gunshot wounds all over their bodies. Jubal and Hannah were squatting in front of the corpses to examine them.
The closet door is also full of bullet holes left by 9mm pistol bullets. The corpse’s hands were tied behind its back, indicating that the old couple was locked in it when they died. Luke Dolan used a The submachine gun was pointed directly at the closet to empty the magazine.
"Is it really their son Luke Dolan who did this? Is there any possibility of frame-up?" Jack asked again. "There is currently no evidence to point to this possibility. The cameras on the porch and garage door captured Luke Dolan entering and leaving the door. He opened the door with his own key.
It is a pity that the cameras did not record Function, otherwise we will know what happened at that time."
Hannah handed the tablet in her hand to Jack, which clearly captured the moment Luke Dolan entered the room, and there seemed to be something on his forehead. There was a bruise with a small band-aid on it.
There was an old-fashioned tape recorder placed on the bed in the bedroom. Jack put on his gloves and pressed the play button, and deafening heavy metal music suddenly rang throughout the room.
Turning off the recorder, Jubal pointed out the window, "This should be used to cover up the gunshots. The neighbors across the street said they vaguely heard unusual noises here, and they hesitated after feeling something was wrong. Called the police.”
"Maybe, don't you think it's a little strange? Why put them in the closet instead of killing them directly?" Jack asked.
“You mean what information does he want to extract from the two old men?” Jubal was a little puzzled, “What exactly does he want to know?”
“Oh God!” Alice walked into the bedroom holding a tablet and covered her mouth in surprise.
Although she had been to many scenes with the wanted criminal group, the scene before her still shocked her.
"Did you find anything?" Jiejie took the tablet from her hand.
"NCIS hasn't sent Luke Dolan's file yet, but I found some information about him after he was discharged from the army."
Alice introduced, "He left the army three years ago and is now in a family I am the vice president of a biological company, and from a work perspective, I am the same as Señoro. Ke's company has no intersection.
Luke Dolan's wife separated from him more than a year ago and currently lives in Frederick with their daughter."
"That may be it. The source of stimulation? Triggered his PTSD symptoms," Jiejie speculated.
“No, it’s been too long, maybe that’s one of the reasons, but there must be something else, something we don’t know yet that caused his outburst.
Moreover, PTSD can impulsively kill people, but it is usually over-defense caused by excessive stress, and such planned murders rarely occur. "
Just as Jack was searching for memories of the criminal psychology files he had read, Clay reappeared holding a photo frame.
"It's not PTSD, it's caused by repeated exposure to explosion shock waves. of traumatic brain injuries, I have seen similar situations within Veterans Services Centers. "
——
" There are pictures of the Dolan family everywhere in the house, before joining the army, during service leave, and recently. "Clay showed the photo frame in his hand to everyone.
Inside is an intimate photo of Luke Dolan and his parents. The two old men have happy smiles on their faces and hold their son between them.
Although Luke Dolan in the photo has a beard and a very embarrassed smile, the happiness on his face that a person can still be pampered by his parents even in middle age seems to overflow the photo frame. .
“As early as a decade ago, researchers at a Department of Defense laboratory in Maryland noticed a persistent, previously unidentified brain injury in some Special Forces members.
< br>When these soldiers are about forty years old, they will suffer from severe insomnia and headaches, memory confusion and blurring, physical imbalance, irritability and other symptoms. "
When Clay told this, his expression was a little bit. The sadness seemed to reveal some past events that he didn't want to recall.
"At first, doctors diagnosed soldiers with such symptoms as mental illnesses and ignored the underlying physical injuries, classifying them all as PTSD. Until someone compiled statistics on the SEALs who committed suicide over the years.
The families of these soldiers organized themselves and sent the brains of their loved ones to the laboratory. A doctor found a line of damage in the brains of these soldiers
This was a kind of precursor. An unprecedented injury pattern, different from that of boxers. This injury is caused by repeated shock waves generated by explosions.
High-intensity shooting training, shock waves generated by breaking explosives, and the team members' frequent presence on the battlefield. Everything I have experienced is the culprit of all this.
My former friend, the legend of 'DEVGRU', Brett Swanney, chose to commit suicide because he could not bear the pain. I personally sent his brain to the laboratory after his death
The condition came to the military's attention after lab researchers discovered the same symptoms in his brain. ”
Although the second half of Clay’s words was a bit brief, it was obviously not an easy task for the stubborn military to admit the existence of this situation. How much effort did he put in it? It’s conceivable.
“This seems to be a direction for investigation. "Jubal didn't know how to comfort Clay, who was a little depressed. He could only pat him on the shoulder and said to Alice.
"But it still can't explain how insane he must be. Attack your own parents. "Hannah sighed.
At this time Aubrey's voice came from the door, "Guys, you should probably come to the garage and take a look. ”
Leaving Jubal and Hannah to continue searching for clues in the bedroom, Jack and others followed Aubrey to the garage, taking out his cell phone and calling the universal encyclopedia Red.
"The disease is called 'interface astrocyte scarring' and it's hard to tell unless his brain is cut open. The brain damage Clay said does exist, but the usual tests It is difficult to observe the damage line with other means.
And the development of this situation is a gradual process, and the degree of deterioration will gradually increase. It's getting worse, but it's unlikely to get worse for no reason. I suggest you investigate whether he has been injured. Schizophrenia caused by trauma is relatively common."
After being prompted by Red, Jack immediately thought of monitoring. In the video, the small wound on Luke Dolan's forehead fell on a red Chevrolet parked at the garage door.
"Alice, check the license plate number of this car."
There was also an old Cadillac parked in the garage, and Jack suspected that the Chevy with a broken headlight might belong to Luke Dolan.
Clay stepped forward to observe for a moment and concluded, "The damage is very new and the car accident happened recently. This is not the Navy's style. I will never drive like this without repairing these myself." "The car is on the road."
When Alice copied the license plate number and walked quickly to the command car, Aubrey pointed to the pile of debris in the corner of the garage, "Look at these cartons, when I was checking the garage. Notice that these have been flipped "
Jie Jie knelt down and flipped through it, taking out a few notebooks and said in surprise, "These are Luke's memos and diaries when he was in the army. We guessed it right, he was indeed once. A seal."
"So Luke Dolan is not just here to kill his parents, he is also trying to find something, something from the past, that may be related to the secret mission he once carried out. ”
In addition to mental illness, Jack also had to factor in some conspiracy theories.
