Chapter 326
Many things happened by coincidence. When the helicopter was unloading, support from the mountain also came up, a large group of people.
After a while, the tent was set up, completely covering the bag of human tissue, and all kinds of supplies were piled up.
Then another helicopter flew over, and the assistant director of the detective bureau, Commander Anna Davis, also came to give instructions. The media reporters who received the news also gathered outside one after another, but they were all blocked outside by patrol police.
Madeline Hill was reporting the situation to Anna Davis. The second team did not act immediately and waited for Anna Davis’ instructions.
The body parts now belonged to two people. The nature of the case changed. Because of the arrival of Anna Davis, the command of the scene was automatically transferred to the person with the highest police rank, and more resources could be mobilized at the same time.
Tony Gerard frowned and stared at the media outside, “Now you know why we have to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, because the later we arrive, the more interference we will receive…”
Locke nodded, frowning. He already knew the discussion of the few people just now and felt that their thinking was wrong.
Raven Tate came back from a phone call to the office and punched Locke, “Locke, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful…”
Jack Talbot looked a little embarrassed. He didn’t expect that he would vomit just now. He whispered, “The vomiting scene we just had wasn’t captured by these reporters, right?”
Harry Sumner said contemptuously, “Jack, I’m ashamed of you!”
Jack Talbot gave a middle finger in anger.
At this time, Anna Davis and Madeline Hill came over together. Her first sentence was to praise Locke, “Well done, Locke, keep it up!” Then she said to everyone: “As the news spreads, all of Los Angeles is watching this case, so we must show our real ability this time and solve the case as soon as possible!” “Captain Hill has told me your discussion plan. I think there is no problem with the idea. I will ask the Investigation and Analysis Department to assist in collecting information on missing persons in the past year. K9 (police dogs) are on the way. I will also apply for the Air Support Department to cooperate with this search. Do you have anything else to add…” Anna Davis’s eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Locke, “Locke, you were not here when we discussed just now. What do you think?” Locke stared at the body bag that had been covered by the white tent and asked, “Why did the murderer throw the body parts here?” Tony Gerard’s eyes flashed. He also found this problem, but Harry Sumner’s idea was also correct. It was a routine operation. Find the missing person and find more body parts, and the clues will naturally come out. He touched his chin, “I also find it a bit strange…”
Jack Talbot said, “Didn’t we discuss this? The murderer is extremely confident in himself. This is showing off and also a provocation…”
Locke asked, “Why didn’t he leave it in front of the Park Center or the City Hall? Aren’t these two locations more conspicuous and can better satisfy the murderer’s abnormal psychology…”
“…”
Jack Talbot was speechless and looked at Harry Sumner, and found that he was lost in thought.
Raven Tate also showed a thoughtful look, “Locke, are you also studying criminal psychology?”
Locke nodded and said, “I think if we can figure out the murderer’s psychology, it will be helpful for the next investigation…”
A light flashed in Anna Davis’ eyes, “Continue…”
Locke was actually a little unhappy with the slow guidance. He was still not of high enough status. If it were Tom Williams, he would have given orders directly.
He said, “Compared to downtown Los Angeles, Topanga State Park is definitely a remote place. If the murderer wants to show off, he shouldn’t dump the body here. So, I think he doesn’t want the body to be discovered…
Tony Gerard replied, “Could it be because of an accident?”
Harry Sumner also interrupted, “If I were the murderer, since I was going to dump the body, I wouldn’t choose Topanga State Park…”
Jack Talbot immediately asked, “Then where would you choose?”
Harry Sumner stared at the blue in the distance without saying a word, and the others also looked towards the Pacific Ocean. “No matter how hidden it is, it will smell if it is dumped in the mountains. People who hike in Topanga State Park like to run around everywhere, and there is still a chance of being discovered…”
Locke secretly praised in his heart. Sure enough, those who can be detectives are all good. “I agree with Inspector Harry’s speculation. I just discussed with Director William Worrell. The grass under the body bag has some strange traces. Director Worrell suspects that the body is too cold. The helicopter just came over and gave me new inspiration…”
Tony Gerard’s bodyShocked, he blurted out: “This generation of body parts fell from a helicopter…” Harry Sumner also said: “The murderer used a helicopter to dump the body into the sea, and accidentally dropped a bag. It would not attract attention if it flew over Topanga State Park. It should be like this…” Madeline Hill’s eyes lit up and she shouted: “William…” William..Worrel quickly ran out of the tent. Madeline Hill told him Locke’s analysis. He nodded and said: “It is possible. If it fell from the sky, the grass may indeed cause such a bend and bruise me…” Anna Davis said: “You will know if you try it!” Soon a helicopter took off, and Jack Talbot was holding a translucent white plastic bag in his hand. This was used by the Forensic Department to hold evidence, and it contained about 10KG of bottled water. “Bang…” The bag broke when it landed, and the bottled water was scattered everywhere. William..Worrel immediately rushed over, and Locke and others also frowned and surrounded it. Harry Sumner murmured, “Maybe it was flying too high…”
The grass that was hit really had the same indentations and bruises as the grass under the body bag, but it was much lighter.
William Worrell observed for a while and said happily, “Your speculation should be correct. It fell from the sky, but the frozen body parts are harder than bottled water, so the grass damage is more serious, but the plane should fly lower…”
Anna Davis hurriedly instructed Madeline Hill, “Contact the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and get the flight records of all helicopters in this area as soon as possible…”
“It’s not a helicopter…”
Locke interrupted Anna Davis, “It’s a drone…”
Harry Sumner clapped his hands vigorously, “Yes, it’s a drone. The movement of the helicopter is still too loud. Only a drone can quietly pass through Topanga State Park in the dead of night and throw the body parts into the sea. Only a drone can have an accident and drop a bag…”
Anna Davis looked at Locke with a calm face, and his previous bold words emerged in his mind.
To be a better detective than Tom Williams.
She began to believe that he could do it.
