Chapter 419

“After analysis, this white van is a Ford Transit, which should be a 2012 model, but because of the camera pixel, it is not clear to take a photo…”

“There is no camera at the place where the body was dumped in the port area, so the car was not captured. I found the car on the Queens Boulevard Bridge, and then followed it all the way. I found that the car was parked at the RV camping site diagonally opposite the Los Angeles River last night…”

“At 10 am, the car left the RV camping site, and the last location captured by the camera was George Will Avenue…”

Ford Transit

In the conference room, Brian Smith was reporting to everyone what he found from the city road surveillance. According to Locke’s reasoning, he found this suspicious vehicle.

Although there is only this information at present, it cannot 100% prove that this car is the murderer’s car.

But all the detectives present were experienced and immediately realized that this car was most likely the murderer’s car.

Jack Talbot angrily cursed: “Fuck, this son of a bitch!”

Harry Sumner also looked stern, “That means the murderer has been observing us in the RV camp across the Los Angeles River this morning. This is a naked provocation!”

Raven Tate was shocked: “The murderer is too bold, but this does conform to criminal psychology…”

Locke frowned and recalled that he did not feel observed or monitored at the dock in the morning, so the murderer may just be looking for a place to sleep nearby.

But if this is the case, it shows that the murderer’s psychological quality is not ordinary…

Uh, pervert.

You think I am observing you, I am not observing anything, I am just sleeping.

At this time, Miss Spears pushed the door of the conference room open with her hips and walked in with a tray of coffee, “Hey, gentlemen, your coffee is here…”

“Thank you, Skye, you saved my exhausted inspiration…”

“Oh, my lady, so kind of you!”

“Miss Spears, if you want to open a boutique coffee shop, I will definitely invest in you…”

“…”

Instantly, the conference room was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and the previous anger instantly disappeared.

After serving the coffee, Skye Spears sat down next to Locke and whispered, “I put an extra spoonful of milk in your coffee…”

Locke was drinking coffee, subconsciously glanced at Miss Spears’s towering chest, and nodded, “Thank you, I feel it!”

Feeling Locke’s gaze, Skye Spears only felt a tremor, and subconsciously raised her chest. Unexpectedly, this move actually attracted LSP Harry Sumner on the opposite side.

She couldn’t help but frown, glared at Harry Sumner, and asked curiously, “Why hasn’t the captain come back yet?”

It turned out that when the meeting was about to start, Madeline Hill was called away by Director Danny Aiello, so Madeline Hill asked Harry Sumner to preside over the meeting first.

After the coffee time, Madeline Hill still didn’t come back.

Harry Sumner decided to go to the campsite to see if he could get a clearer photo of the white Ford Transit, but was stopped by Locke.

Locke asked Brian Smith, “Are you sure there is no trace of this car around Green George Villa?”

Although this is his reasoning, it is too subjective to infer that this white Ford Transit is the murderer’s vehicle based on the box van alone, and the logical chain is not perfect enough.

Brian Smith shook his head and said, “I have expanded the search range to five kilometers around the villa…” Harry Sumner also realized that he was a little impatient. He frowned and thought for a while, and said, “Based on the frequency of the murderer’s crimes, I think they should have just arrived in Los Angeles not long ago. After all, there have been no similar cases in Los Angeles before. Perhaps, we should look for similar cases in Mexico…” Locke followed Harry Sumner’s words and said, “If the murderer has just arrived in Los Angeles, then they are likely to rely on their fellow Mexicans first, but with the murderer’s brutality and perversion, they should soon occupy the magpie’s nest. We can also check if there have been any reports of missing Mexicans recently…” Harry Sumner shook his head and said, “The disappearance of illegal Mexican immigrants happens every day in Los Angeles. No one will pay attention to it, and no one will report it. After all, their relatives are in Mexico. Even if someone reports it because the body stinks, it is because there is no identity information…” Locke nodded and said, “So when the murderer was in Green George Villa, he might have been in a state of wandering and had no vehicle. Check if there have been any reports of missing white Ford Transit in the past few days…” Harry Sumner said”The key is also the key. The murderer was able to enter Green George Villa smoothly, so he must have the key of the villa…” Locke followed and said, “The murderer’s key should have been obtained from his fellow Mexican, who should be the housekeeper hired by Mia Hamm. After killing his fellow Mexican, the murderer chose Green George Villa as a temporary place to stay, and happened to meet Mia Hamm and others driving inside…” Harry Sumner said, “After completing this job, they got a white Ford Transit…” “…” With the continuous improvement of Locke and Harry Sumner, the portrait of the murderer became clearer and clearer. However, reasoning is always just reasoning, and evidence is needed to prove the correctness of the reasoning. Skye Spears applauded first, and then others followed suit. At this time, Madeline Hill came in with a document and handed it to Harry Sumner. “I heard applause. It seems that you have made a breakthrough. There is also news from the forensic department. The identities of the two deceased have been confirmed. According to the facial information comparison of the deceased, they are Paul Marshall, 26, and Cole Lilith, 24. They are a couple living in Bell Gardens. The preliminary autopsy shows that they died no more than 24 hours ago…” Locke immediately said to Brian Smith: “Check the line map from Bell Gardens to Long Beach Pier last night to see if you can find this white Ford Transit…” The trajectory of the murderer in the Long Beach corpse dumping case Brian Smith immediately entered the city’s roadside monitoring system, constantly tapping the keyboard and calling up the video. At the same time, Harry Sumner also reported the portrait of the murderer he had just discussed with Locke to Madeline Hill. Madeline Hill looked at Locke in surprise and nodded, “Good, then we have basically locked down the murderer…”

“Found it…”

Brian Smith shouted excitedly, and then projected the computer screen onto the projector, “The white Ford Transit went straight down along the Los Angeles River. Wait, the camera here has a high pixel. I’ll take a screenshot to see if I can read the license plate number…”

The screenshot is still a little blurry, but you can see that there are people sitting in the driver’s seat and the co-pilot seat, and the license plate number is also vaguely visible.
