Chapter 48 Personnel Information, Visits

"Is it hard to guess?" Dean came outside the villa and took off his gloves and foot covers: "You got the information so quickly, which means that guy has a criminal record."

"You are really smart!"

Hawk lost his energy: "The guy didn't have anything to prove his identity. I compared his photos and found his information in the database. The information is all here. You will definitely think that this guy is related to the case here after reading it."

Dean became interested.

He took the helper's information and opened it to read it.

According to the information:

The helper's name is Marcus, from Arkansas, 21 years old, a drug addict, came to Los Angeles a year ago to wander, has no normal job, has three theft records and one record of drug trading.

Two months ago.

Marcas had just been released from prison.

Dean looked through several criminal records of Marcus and felt that what Hawke said made sense.

Drug addict, multiple thefts, plus the disappearance of the owner's family, and the disappearance of furniture and appliances in the villa.

A normal person would think that Marcus has a problem.

However, all of these need more evidence to prove.

Dean put down Marcus's information and opened the information of the owner's family.

On the surface, the United States pays more attention to the privacy of citizens. Even the police station finds it difficult to get particularly complete information.

Hawke got some simple registration information.

The information shows:

The owner of this villa is Sean Gray, a 39-year-old from Los Angeles, of German descent, a second-generation immigrant, and a financial director of a large company with an annual salary of over 500,000.

Sean's wife, Mary, a very popular name, is from Arkansas, 38 years old, a housewife, and has been helping out in a Christian church on a voluntary basis for a long time. She is a devout believer.

Sean and Mary have two children.

Their son Bert, 19 years old, failed to get into college and dropped out.

Their daughter Marina, 15 years old, also dropped out half a year ago.

After reading the information.

Dean fell into deep thought.

The tuition fees for colleges in the United States are not cheap.

So it is not uncommon for children from ordinary families to choose to drop out of school.

But Sean's family is considered to be well-off.

These families, who are not rich but are defined as middle-class, understand the importance of educating their offspring.

They are willing to spend a lot of money on their children's education, just to keep their offspring in the current class.

The situation in Sheen's family is a bit abnormal.

Thinking of the weird photo in his hand.

Dean realized that there might be secrets between Sheen's family members that are not worth telling to outsiders.

Bang~

A huge crash interrupted Dean's thoughts.

Everyone looked over.

A shabby truck rode on Dean's equally shabby second-hand car.

"FK!"

Accompanied by angry curses, a white man with a face full of flesh, who looked like a bad guy, kicked open the car door and jumped down from it.

The man was Lawrence.

Lawrence saw that all the patrolmen around him were looking at him, and one of them with a childish face put his hands on his waist and spread his hands awkwardly: "Guys, I just drove a little faster"

Dean's mouth twitched.

Hawke looked at Dean with a strange expression: "Dean, don't tell me that your partner is Lawrence!"

"Yes, is he famous?"

"Then you're happy." The strangeness in Hawke's eyes turned into pity.

"This guy once set a record for the Detective Bureau: more than 365 complaints were received in a year!

If he wasn't capable.

Lawrence would have been fired long ago.

But I heard that he made another big thing later, and almost caused the captain of the first squadron to step down.

I didn't expect him to still stay in the Detective Bureau."

Dean: "."

Captain Meng En took Lawrence in, and he was indeed an ambitious man.

On the other side.

Lawrence saw Dean standing outside the villa.

He jumped out of the car in a somewhat embarrassed manner and ran towards Dean.

Hawke's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Dean, I'll go drink with you next time. I'm leaving first."

After that, he left quickly.

"Dean, I'm glad you're back." Lawrence opened his arms and wanted to give Dean a bear hug.

Dean pushed him away: "Thank you for thinking of me so much, but I hope you can call the insurance company so that I can buy another used car."

"That's your car!" Lawrence widened his eyes and looked embarrassed: "I will handle it, now let's talk about the case."

"Okay." Dean shrugged: ". The reason is... The current clues are very vague. Now we can only be sure that someone died in this villa, but we don't know what happened here."

After listening to Dean's detailed explanation, Lawrence asked back: "What do you think?"

"The helper Marcus is indeed a suspect, but he is not awake yet. The most important thing for us now is to find out the situation of the Sheen family."

Dean said his thoughts.

"Yes, this is our focus." Lawrence nodded approvingly: "Surveying the scene, interpersonal relationships, and visiting the surrounding areas are the three basic ideas for solving the case.

I will go in and investigate again, Dean, you go visit the neighbors around."

"Okay." Dean nodded.

The two men acted separately.

These are small single-family villas, which are considered mid- to high-end communities. Not only do they have independent gardens and fences, but there are also often telephone bells installed outside the gates.

There are four villas around.

Both families are not at home.

The family is at home, but they don't care about Dean at all.

Fortunately, when we arrived at the last house, an old woman who looked quite young came to the iron gate in an electric wheelchair: "Child, are you okay?"

"Hello, madam, I would like to ask."

The old man is very talkative.

And because it is inconvenient to go out and can only wander around the community, she has some understanding of every household.

After understanding.

The Sheehan family, with the exception of Mrs. Gray, rarely had contact with the surrounding neighbors, and Mr. Sheehan's son, Bert, often interacted with some shady people.

The two fathers and sons even fought in public over this.

When it came to Sheen's daughter, Marina, the old woman was more impressed: "Their family moved here nine years ago, when Marina was only six years old. She was very cute and polite.

But later on, Marina may have grown up and stopped going out to play. She usually kept her head down and was taciturn. "

Dean asked about the helper again.

These are similar to what Hawke said before.

The helpers were indeed hired by the Sheen family themselves.

But Dean got two additional important pieces of information:

First: Before the Sheen family disappeared, Sheen's wife specially told all the church members about the trip and said hello!

Second: A few days ago, a truck with a hot dog logo parked in front of Villa No. 76 and took away a lot of furniture and appliances. If these furniture and appliances can be recovered, there may be additional gains.

I gained a lot from this visit.

Thank you, madam.

Dean turned to join Lawrence.

Lawrence had already finished surveying the scene: "How's it going? Did you find anything new?"

Dean nodded: "According to the information provided by the neighbors, the Sheen family greeted people they knew before disappearing. It was like a premeditated disappearance!"

"Is it possible that the killer coerced them into doing this?"

Dean shook his head and pointed to the villa: "The obvious blood stains in the lobby of the villa were destroyed, but those tiny blood drops were not. This shows that the other party knew the methods of the forensic department, but time was urgent, so they could only deal with it briefly and left in a hurry. "

If it was coerced by the murderer.

Then the other party should have enough time to deal with this, instead of making it anticlimactic.

The evidence found so far is still too little.

"Okay, buddy." Lawrence put his arm around Dean's shoulders: "We'll find out when the forensic results come out tomorrow. Let's go have a drink now."

"Sorry, I have an appointment."

Just as Dean finished speaking, a bright pink Porsche appeared on the street in front of the two of them. The window was lowered, revealing Laura's face that looked very exciting: "Darling, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Laura, I can't wait to take your yoga class." Dean patted Lawrence on the shoulder, got into the Porsche, and drove away.

Lawrence looked at the taillights of the car that disappeared in front of him, and then at the pickup truck he was still riding on Dean's car, and let out a long breath of envious sourness: "FK, I hate pretty boys!"
