Chapter 1190 The "Donated" Stolen Goods (Double Monthly Ticket Request)

Along Interstate 20, the three came to a small town called Heflin. After seeing the prosperous scene of Maggrave Town, the sense of desolation here became even more obvious.

Even when driving through the center of town, they saw no more than a handful of living people. If a zombie crisis occurred, a southern state like this in the United States would definitely be a good survival base.

A state police car took the FBI to the crime scene. The body had been taken away, leaving only a Volvo VNL long-nose truck with a shiny chrome grille on the front.

Compared with the relatively cramped flat-head trucks, the American heavy trucks with a big nose are naturally much more beautiful, and because the engine is placed in the front, noise and the like are not likely to affect the cab.

Moreover, due to the large front section of the vehicle, it acts as a natural energy-absorbing buffer zone, which greatly improves the safety for truck drivers.

Thanks to the vast and sparsely populated Great Plains of North America, problems such as the large turning radius of long-nose trucks and poor forward visibility have become insignificant minor issues.

Long-distance driving requires a higher level of comfort in the cab, and the spacious space setting of a long-nose truck is particularly friendly to big people with long arms and legs.

Therefore, whenever the wanted criminal team's command vehicle goes out, everyone takes turns driving. After all, no one can resist the temptation of driving a big vehicle.

After checking the trailer towed behind the truck, Aubrey found a set of footprints inside. After eliminating the Baudettes' shoe prints through photos, Jack sent them back to Alice.

"This is an almost new Volvo VNL760, and the price is no less than $17," Clay said meaningfully.

Jack nodded to show that he understood. "Let Alice check their bank account carefully, and we will ask if there is anyone on this transportation route who knows this couple."

After asking the state police to take them to the parking lot where the dashcam was turned off, the three walked around for a while before finding a surveillance camera that was still working properly.

Aubrey went to the parking lot office to ask for the video, while Jack and Clay wandered around and walked into a bar next to the lounge area.

The bartender was a black girl with dreadlocks, and she immediately recognized the photo of the Baudettes on Jack's phone.

"Yes, I saw them last night." The female bartender muttered while wiping the cups, "Maybe I have seen them before, but I don't remember them. But the old woman last night gave me a reason to remember her."

"What do you mean?" Jack paid $20 but only asked for a glass of ice water, which immediately made the female bartender open up. "Because she was stupid enough to get into a fight with someone over darts, and someone said she cheated."

"Fighting with someone over playing darts? What kind? Was it serious?" Jack motioned for her to explain in detail.

"It was just a quarrel. To me, it was just a drunk guy who didn't want to lose to a woman, that's it." The female bartender spoke loudly and woke up an old black man who was dozing on the bar next to him.

"Are you talking about 'Ribs' and 'Elmer' last night?"

Jack showed him the screen of his phone after hearing that. The black old man took a look and said "Ahaha" in a long tone, "Yes, it's them two."

"So 'Rib' and 'Elmer' are their nicknames? How did they come about?" Jack wanted to get closer, but was almost choked to death by the smell of alcohol on the other person.

The old black man just laughed, but his eyes never left the empty cup that Jack had just put down. Just half a minute ago, there was a $20 bill under the cup.

Since he accidentally revealed his wealth, Jack was too lazy to use his identity as a federal agent to pressure others. He waved to the bartender and asked for another glass of whiskey.

The black old man really knew the couple's situation, "'Ribs' because Teddy's ribs taste good, and after the 80s, that guy got so fat that you couldn't see the ribs.

The reason he called his wife "Elmer" was ostensibly because of the cartoon "Rabbit Run," but secretly because of "Elmer" brand glue.

Jack thought for a while before he realized that the villain who always opposed Bugs Bunny in the cartoon "Rabbit Run" was called Elmer Fudd. As for glue and so on

"You mean her hands are dirty?"

"Petite theft and cheating, that's about it. Why are you asking about them? Are you policemen?" The black old man drank the whiskey in two gulps, looking gloating.

Clay lifted up his T-shirt to reveal the pistol and police badge on his belt, "Pretty much. We're the FBI. Two of them were killed last night."

"Damn it, how is that possible?" A series of southern slangs rolled quickly over the old man's nimble tongue, and his bloodshot eyes almost popped out.

"I just saw them both last night."

"So you were almost the last person to see them." Jack waved to the female bartender who also had a surprised expression on her face to give him another drink and continued to inquire.

"How about telling us more about these two?"

The old man crossed himself and took another sip to calm himself before saying, "There's not much to talk about. Both of them don't follow the rules.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

Fatigue driving, malicious price-cutting are the norm, as well as other illegal things.”

"Does this include smuggling some contraband?" Clay asked.

"I don't know, maybe." The black old man shrugged slightly.

“The video footage of the parking lot has been sent to Alice, and although the Volvo VNL760 was captured on camera, Alice said it is not advisable to have too high expectations.

Besides the bad angle, it was night time and the picture resolution was not very good, so I was lucky to be able to make out the license plate.”

As soon as Aubrey, who was holding a cell phone, met the two people at the door of the bar, he gave them bad news.

"Have the stolen goods been confirmed?" Jack asked.

"It's mainly tablets, at least 200 of them, they are worth a lot and easy to sell, which seems to explain everything."

Aubrey frowned as he spoke, "But what's strange is that there are high-value goods such as mobile phones, LCD TVs and hard drives in the car."

As he was talking, his phone rang again. This time it was a text message. After reading it, Aubrey's expression became interesting. "It was forwarded by Alice. She said that the Blue Springs Police Department, which is not far from here, just received news that the stolen laptops have been found.

The local elementary school principal called the police and said that someone had left eight boxes of brand new tablets at their door, totaling more than 8 tablets.
