Chapter 2055 Female Agent 28
Back at the bureau, Xining and Karak went to report to the head.
After hearing this, Tou sat behind his desk and pondered for a long time. He waited until he was almost impatient before speaking. It was full of officialdom when he opened his mouth: "I know you two are working hard, but this matter involves high-level officials and requires evidence..."
"Stop, stop~" Xining made a stop motion: "Sir, I understand your embarrassment. I will continue to investigate this matter and find evidence as soon as possible."
My time is precious, and I don’t want to listen to these high-sounding formulas.
I let out a sigh of relief. If I couldn't hold it clearly, I would have to suppress it. Fortunately, I didn't have to. That would be too emotionally damaging. So he reminded: "Everything must follow legal procedures."
"That's for sure!" Xining smiled: "I promise to follow legal procedures."
As a result, she and Karak quickly left the office.
As soon as I sat down, some findings came in.
The technical department went to investigate the origin of the online order, and it turned out that the account belonged to someone else.
While watching, Karak asked a little worriedly: "Carol, did you guess the wrong person? From your report just now, Dr. Lacey did not admit that he did this."
< br>
That's why she didn't let Tou continue to speak. Tou had already made it clear and wanted evidence. If you stare hard, you will definitely ask the same thing. They haven't admitted it, so why should they doubt it?
Xining rolled his eyes: "He didn't say it wasn't him. Women's intuition is very sensitive."
"For example?" Karak's eyes were a little strange and affectionate.
She ignored it: "For example, when a man cheats on his wife, a woman will definitely feel it. Most of the people who say they don't know are just knowing and pretending not to know."
Karak's eyes immediately became lost, and his intuition was very sensitive. Didn't he feel anything at all?
At this time, the trainee detective came over excitedly and brought some good news. In the video, Dr. Lacey appeared near the house where the package was picked up. Although he was wearing a very ordinary sweatshirt and a black baseball cap, half of his face was still exposed in an instant.
The time was a month ago... For this reason, the four intern agents took turns with each other and stayed here for twenty-four hours watching the surveillance.
As soon as I saw Dr. Lacey on the surveillance screen just now, I rushed over to report the good news.
Xining touched her slightly hot forehead. She didn't need Karak to remind her. She knew it herself: "The surveillance a month ago can't prove anything. I can't convince the jury that he stepped on the spot a month ago just to prepare for the loan." When the family is not at home, leave the package for the courier to pick up.”
The lawyer will immediately refute that he has not been there even once during this period. If this house happened to be there, or if a tenant was changed or something, wouldn't the package be left in vain?
Karak asked: "How about the surveillance near the warehouse?"
The intern detective replied: "The package was placed at noon yesterday and has been found. He said that when he was smoking on the road, someone gave him fifty dollars and asked him to put the things there. This is his information."
Xining knew at first glance that he was useless, a jobless vagabond, and had all kinds of dark history. Even if he goes to court and identifies himself, his lawyer will still question whether he knocked on something that day. The testimony of such a person can easily be overturned.
The intern detective continued: "The surveillance in the warehouse is only kept for half a year, and will be covered after half a year. I am still watching it, and so far no trace of the suspect has been found."
If something happens in the warehouse, it will be revealed early, and there are many things that we try not to get involved with. Like many places with 24-hour monitoring, a storage time is set.
If you can't see it, it means Dr. Lacey hasn't been to the warehouse in half a year. If it is there, then in court, the lawyer will have to use his sharp tongue to convince the jury that it is all a coincidence. Even after a long time, Dr. Lacey still appeared at two important scenes.
The trainee detective said with a sense of grievance: "After half a year, the surveillance will only cover three nearby intersections. How long will it take to watch it all?"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Karak said flatteringly: "I'll order pizza to treat you guys."
"Don't~" the trainee agent waved his hands abnormally: "I don't dare, I don't know who will be poisoned next." There are many ways of poisoning, making it difficult for people to guard against and making people panic.
"Thank you then!" Karak could only thank him first.
After the trainee agent left, Xining looked at the surveillance screenshot. Dr. Lacey was dressing up as if he were exercising, but the difference was that he didn't have a dog on the leash. It's very remote there, so there's no need to walk the dog as a pretense. You can just walk around casually. This city is big, but it’s only that big. The scenery there is nice, there are special shops nearby, old friends are there... there are many reasons.
It’s more likely that there are so many people who say that it’s not me, but half of their faces look exactly like them. Is there any evidence that the person monitoring them is the one? Who still remembers what happened a month ago?
This guy...
It was long past time to get off work, and Karak suggested: "How about I treat you to dinner?"
"Didn't I invite you yesterday?" She was in a bad mood, mainly because she thought of Lacey's playful expression when holding the test tube, and she wanted to snatch the test tube and stuff it directly into his mouth.
Karak was a little embarrassed: "I only ate half of it."
Yes, I only ate half of the steak, but the steak didn’t taste very good: “It’s better not to go there.” It’s not delicious, and it costs money to eat.
Karak misunderstood and thought she was afraid: "Then I order some takeout?"
No, takeaway food is very likely to be poisoned. Now he had no idea: "Otherwise, we can go to the restaurant upstairs..."
Another stupid move. I've long been tired of eating at the restaurant in the building every day.
Just when Karak didn't know what to do, Xining picked up the bag: "I'll treat you to it."
"Where to go?" Karak followed.
Chinatown is located next to the bustling famous street, where you can see Chinese signs everywhere. Many styles may be considered very Chinese by people here, but in the eyes of real descendants of the Tang Dynasty, they are just plain old-fashioned.
She found a restaurant that served Sichuan cuisine, sat down and started ordering. Spicy chicken, mapo tofu, boiled beef.
Considering that it contained duck blood and internal organs, Karak probably didn't like eating it, so he didn't order the couple's lung slices. You should also avoid eating fish with bones, so I gave up on boiled fish and minced pepper fish heads. In addition, the appetite of two people was only this much, otherwise she would have liked to order all the dishes.
After ordering, I said to the waiter in Chinese: "It's slightly spicy. Two more bowls of rice. Tell the chef to make it more authentic."
The waiter was taken aback for a moment by his fluent Chinese, and then nodded with a smile, collected the menu, and left.
Karak looked at her in surprise: "Can you speak Chinese?"
"No." She denied it, and the reason was not random: "I know these two sentences. In order to have a good meal, I might forget it after finishing it."
The waiter brought a teapot and helped them pour two cups of tea first. Xining clasped two fingers on the table to express his gratitude.
The waiter immediately became emotional. In order to prevent the waiter from having a casual conversation with her, Xining hurriedly spoke to Karak: "Are you going to go home and sleep next, or live in the office building?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter thought that the two of them might have a conflict, so he put down the teapot and walked away knowingly.
