Chapter 32 The Fifth Person's Traces

"This is the investigation report of the accident scene~" You Lan shook his dizzy head and handed George a stack of information that he had compiled after working all night.

Covering his short hair, You Lan's once resolute eyes now showed fatigue, and there were faint dark circles on his eyes that he tried hard to open.

The information he gave George included case analysis, scene reconstruction, ballistic trajectory, evidence identification, autopsy report, character investigation, etc.

There have been many major cases recently, with the Arkham case and the alley shooting case being handled together. It took him several hours just to look through the information. He was really fed up with it.

He couldn't help but stretch his muscles, making a crackling sound, and raised his hands to pose in a Jeet Kune Do stance, his fists clenched to show his strength, and complained with his short and sturdy figure:

"Damn it! Compared to sorting out these crappy documents here, it's more suitable for me to go out on field trips."

He raised his hands and punched twice with a loud bang, pushing off the ground while shifting his center of gravity forward and rotating his shoulders and hips, punching out a straight punch with his front hand, then chopped down with his back palm, and with another loud bang, he slammed George's desk hard.

Looking at the jumping water cup, George's temple also jumped.

"Be patient, Youlan. The Arkham case is our most important case right now. There is a lot of pressure within the police station right now. The FBI and CIA have already begun investigating this incident.

What we need to do is, with their help, unravel the mystery and find the real culprit behind the scenes.”

Looking at the thick stacks of information in front of him, even George felt a headache.

He hadn't been home for several days and called Gwen every day to check in.

The only good news he received in recent days was that Gwen told him that Charlotte was not in danger and was chatting with her via text message.

The reason why Charlotte didn't go home was that she was very busy with work recently and didn't want to disturb Aunt Mei's rest by going back too late.

Of course, Gwen used her clever little brain and thought that the main reason why Charlotte disappeared recently was that she wanted to use her busy life to distinguish herself from Spider-Man's leisurely movements, so as to achieve an effect similar to an alibi, but there is only one truth!

bang——

A loud noise woke George from his drowsy state. His hand holding the documents trembled and he looked up suddenly, only to see Hank had fallen asleep with his head on the table.

"Yeah——"

You Lan yawned, sat down in his seat listlessly, and flipped through the documents in front of him with a dull look.

The main reason for working so hurriedly today is that two FBI agents are expected to arrive tomorrow, and the director asked them to be fully prepared. Not only must they not embarrass themselves, but they must also give the two FBI agents a warning to ensure their dominant position.

With one hand supporting his chin, You Lan looked at George flipping through the documents and forced himself to wake up. He muttered to himself and explained the documents to George:

"According to the on-site investigation, no trace of the fifth person was found. The trajectory of the bullets was reconstructed and the trajectory of each bullet was perfect, no more, no less, and they were fired from the guns present at the scene.

Moreover, the guns only had their own fingerprints and skin dandruff, and no traces of smearing or erasure."

Demonstrating gestures and trajectories, You Lan continued:

"The first person to be shot was Abel Bori, who died in the end. Alan, who had planned it in advance, took the lead and fired at Bori. The bullets immediately hit Bori, first in his left shoulder, then in his neck, and finally in his mouth, piercing the back of his head.

This was not a movie. The rifle was extremely powerful. Bori's shoulders, neck and head were almost broken, but his will to survive allowed him to hold on for a few minutes. "

After gesturing on his head twice, You Lan said with emotion:

"Bori fell to the ground. The three people present at the time thought he was dead. Bori's companion Adam reacted very quickly and shot Alan in the left hand. But as luck would have it, Alan swung his left hand and a bullet hit Dannick between the eyebrows. Dannick died on the spot."

You Lan paused at this point, because what happened next was indeed a little unreasonable.

For some reason, Adam was shot like a sieve by Allen at close range. Bori, who fell to the ground first, shot Allen to death with another shot.

In order to save the dying Bo Rui, the scene was damaged to a certain extent, and the footprints on the ground were completely unrecognizable.

Especially... Based on the direction of the gun muzzle when Alan fell to the ground, You Lan found that the last bullet fired came from the alley where George came from, and it seemed that someone had been there.

You Lan couldn't help but sigh:

"We can't find any trace of the fifth person. He is very powerful, like a ghost. He didn't leave any traces and disappeared quickly. We can't even be sure that he exists."

George covered his forehead, also confused:

“Who is he? What is he doing? Why is he doing it? How is he doing it?

Why would the Life Returner attack him?"

You Lan was startled, his hair stood on end, and he said with wide eyes:

"You mean... the fifth person without a trace is a superpower?"

George nodded seriously. He couldn't think of any other possibility.

Because this case seems to be a case of infighting with irrefutable evidence, but there are still many doubts.

In particular, the four deceased were all members of the Life Returners. It was said to be a gang deal, and no reason was found at the scene for them to kill each other.

"You Lan, I can't confirm whether there are superpowers, but what I can be sure of is that the killing between them is definitely not without reason."

George took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to You Lan.

Looking at the logo and the long, ugly name that he had never seen before, You Lan was slightly stunned. He took the file bag, opened it, and took out the documents inside.

After flipping through a few pages, You Lan was shocked.

“Damn it! They are veterans who died in battle?!

They are the former teammates of Blinken, the suspect who died in Arkham!! This life returner is much more complicated than we thought!"

"Including Blinken's superior, their team once had 11 people. According to archival materials and subsequent investigations, Blinken said that they were conducting a rescue operation at the time, but incorrect information led them to be lured into a trap by the Kabul organization. The bomb exploded and all the members died. Only he, who was responsible for the rear guard, survived by chance. He did not dare to stay and fled back."

But now, these four people are all Blinken’s former teammates, which makes the case even more tortuous.

Looking through the information of the remaining 6 people, You Lan, who was much more energetic, asked with a bitter face:

"George~what should we do now?"

Once a case involves the military, it becomes more complicated and difficult to investigate.

Fortunately, George had another helper this time.
