Chapter 50 Leading the Case, Marcus Wakes up (4,200 Words, Two in One)

Conference room.

Captain Meng En, as always, is a salary thief and has not come to work yet.

Old Hunter sat in the main seat and coughed twice: "Guys, because of our outstanding performance in the serial home invasion and stabbing murder case, the director approved a bonus of 100,000 US dollars for our squadron. It will be distributed according to your performance next month."

"Wow!"

"Great, I just want to change to the latest model of Harley-Davidson motorcycle!"

Everyone cheered.

The identity of a detective in the robbery and murder department sounds impressive.

But without bonuses and overtime, their monthly after-tax income, according to their police rank and position, is only 5,000 to 6,000 US dollars a month.

Old Hunter looked at everyone with a smile, knocked on the table, and attracted everyone's attention again: "This bonus is just the beginning. It represents the director's recognition of our fourth squadron. We will take over more and more cases in the future."

Hearing this news, although everyone was not as happy as before, they still smiled.

With a case, you can work overtime openly and get overtime pay.

This is also the bulk of the detectives' income.

For example, other squadrons.

Even a rookie detective can earn more than 10,000 US dollars a month, not counting the extra bonus.

From now on, the Fourth Squadron is truly on the right track.

After announcing the good news.

Old Hunter looked at Dean: "Dean, Daisy said that you handled a suspected death case in the room yesterday?"

It's my turn!

Dean stood up and began to tell the details of the case.

Old Hunter was a little disappointed after listening: "So, this is a misunderstanding?"

Now the Fourth Squadron urgently needs more achievements to consolidate its position.

The suspect in Harry's friend's case has fled to Mexico, and basically can only be left in the archives, with no hope of solving it.

He was originally counting on Dean's case.

"Yes." Dean nodded: "However, I made new discoveries during the investigation, and finally confirmed by my colleagues in the forensic department, it is certain that at least one homicide occurred in Villa 76 more than a month ago!"

As he said, Dean pushed the report issued by Holtz to old Hunter, and then walked straight to the whiteboard and wrote the names of Sheen's family of four and the helper Marcus on it.

At this moment, the six people in the conference room all focused their eyes on Dean.

"When I was investigating the scene, I found blood spatters on the walls, the outside of the fireplace, and the ceiling of the villa hall, so I called the forensics department."

"After testing, the blood in the house belonged to three people, two men and one woman.

The blood of one of them belonged to the helper Marcus.

His blood was the freshest and could be ruled out directly.

The blood of the other man and woman was mixed.

It can be confirmed that they were all left a month ago.

The male blood sample was not much, and it matched the hair DNA on Sheen's clothes, so it should belong to Sheen or his son.

The female blood loss was fatal, and her identity was undetermined. She was suspected to be Sheen's wife, or an unknown third party."

Old Hunter was excited: "Dean, have you found any useful clues?"

"Yes, but not much." Dean pointed to the report in Old Hunter's hand: "I didn't have the legal authority to investigate at the time, but I got some information from Sheen's neighbors."

Dean glanced at Daisy.

He bribed Daisy over the phone yesterday and asked her to help get the basic information of Sheen's family and Marcus early in the morning.

Daisy was very observant. She took out several folders and distributed them to several people.

After everyone finished reading the information.

Dean tapped the whiteboard and began to narrate the case:

"Sheen's wife is a devout Christian. She has no job and often goes to a Christian church to volunteer. She has a very good reputation in the surrounding area.

More than a month ago.

She told church members she knew that the whole family would go out to travel for a while and could not continue to help in the church.

After that.

The Sheen family completely lost contact."

"At least I couldn't contact any of them by phone." Daisy added.

Dean looked at Daisy approvingly and continued:

"According to the investigation, the helper Marcus who caused the last case was the helper hired back before the Sheen family disappeared.

Neighbors often saw him working in the yard in the past month.

But a few days ago, a truck from a logistics company came and took away all the valuable furniture and appliances in the villa. Coincidentally, these furniture and appliances may be stained with blood that has not been cleaned up.

If these furniture and appliances are found, the forensic department may be able to use blood analysis to let us know what happened in the villa at that time!"

Dean looked at Daisy again.

Daisy was overjoyed by Dean's praise. Seeing this, she immediately took out a piece of white paper and said, "I came here early today. Based on the information provided by Dean on the phone yesterday, I found this logistics company and contacted them by phone."

Dean didn't expect Daisy to be so efficient: "What did they say?"

"Those furniture and appliances were sent to second-hand grocery stores, and Marcus sold them! The logistics company gave me the names of several grocery stores. As long as there is an investigation order, we can get all the furniture and appliances back!"

Old Hunter looked at the two people who sang the same tune with a strange look.

He had a weird feeling.

Dean now seems not to be a rookie who has only been on the job for less than two weeks, but to be captain Mon En.

This guy is leading the case!

Think of this.

Old Hunter, who had been a police detective for more than 20 years before relying on his qualifications to climb up to the deputy squad now, felt a little uncomfortable.

He coughed twice and interrupted the two of them: "Dean, are there any other discoveries?"

Dean shook his head:

“Without an investigation warrant, Lawrence and I can investigate very little.

Marcus is still in a coma.

We can only confirm that someone died in the villa recently, but we don’t know what happened at that time.

However, when I was at Sheen's villa, I found that the glass facing the courtyard had been smashed. The Sheen family's dog was also hit on the head to death around the time the Sheen family disappeared.

So I have a few guesses. "

Offstage.

Lawrence looked moved.

He didn't expect that Dean didn't even forget to mention him because he just made a fool of himself yesterday.

How kind!

Lawrence touched the thick stack of photos of 'beautiful mature women' in his pocket again, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not disappoint Dean!

Dean trembled when he saw Lawrence's loving eyes.

He subconsciously turned around, avoiding Lawrence's gaze, and wrote 1, 2, and 3 in three columns on the whiteboard.

"The first possibility is that I suspect that the female victim had a relationship with Sheen.

She was driven by love and hatred, and used various means to threaten and intimidate the Sheen family. In the end, during the conflict, the Sheen family accidentally killed each other. In the end, she hurriedly dealt with the scene, and called Marcus as a cover-up, and fled. to Los Angeles. "

Based on Sheen's high income and the family's premeditated departure, this guess is tenable.

Everyone nodded.

"The second possibility is the same as the first guess.

But it was not the outsider who died, but Sheen's wife.

Moreover, this outsider first threatened the Sheen family and asked them to pretend that they were going on a trip, and then killed them.

But if so, the killer should have had enough time to clean up the scene without leaving so much splattered blood.

And Markas lived in the Sheehan family before they disappeared, but he is fine now.

This is not normal!

Marcus is not awake yet.

So this guess is pending. "

Everyone nodded again, Dean's words made sense.

Dean licked his dry lips.

He rarely spoke so much, but in order to establish his image and status in the Fourth Squadron, he had to do so.

"What about the third guess?" Harry asked impatiently.

He listened to Dean explain the case and felt like he was listening to a story.

Although the others did not speak.

But the eyes, including Old Hunter's, also urged Dean to continue speaking.

"Marcus!" Dean tapped Marcus's name with a pen.

"This guy is a habitual offender, and he drinks alcohol and smokes marijuana for a long time. This time he was injured because he got too high and hit his head on the bar.

There is such a possibility:

The Sheehan family is indeed planning to travel and has even informed those around them.

Results before departure.

Marcus was addicted to drugs and killed Sheen's dog. Sheen's wife came forward to argue and was also killed.

Marcus woke up, and in a panic, he used a mop to mop the blood on the ground, making a mess. After finally cleaning it up, he just kept doing nothing and killed Sheen's family.

This can also explain why the blood stains in the lobby of the villa were contaminated, but the walls were not treated.

Marcus is a homeless man with nothing.

After waiting in panic for a period of time, he found that no one had noticed the incident. Finally, he became bold and sold the furniture and appliances in the villa in exchange for drug money.

In the end, Marcus got too high and injured his head, which led to the misunderstanding of the little boy who found him, which ultimately led to our intervention. "

America, on the surface, attaches great importance to personal privacy.

If it weren't for the little boy calling the police.

No one really found out about the disappearance of the Sheehan family.

Bang bang bang~

Lawrence took the lead in applauding: "Dean, your analysis is very good. This Marcus does have serious suspicions."

Phoebe, Daisy and Harry applauded very hard and generously.

A short time.

Dean got along well with them all.

In addition to picking up women, this guy is also good at building relationships.

Old Hunter was inspired by the atmosphere and joined in.

Only Robert, who was also a newcomer, was a little jealous, but when Phoebe glared at him, he could only clap along and cheer for Dean's reasoning.

Dean thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

But the key now is to collect more evidence.

And he already felt that Old Hunter was a little bit tasteful.

Establishing an image is subtle.

Don't rush.

Dean clapped his hands: "Guys, I have a hunch that this is another big case, but the chain of evidence is missing a lot now. Even if Marcus really killed the Sheen family, we can't convict him, so we We must seize the time and take action now!”

The case is still shrouded in mystery.

Regarding the discovery of the photo frame, he planned to wait until Holtz had the results before bringing it up.

Old Hunter's slap slowed.

Why does it feel like something is wrong?

Dean's words interrupted his thoughts: "Vice team, please arrange work for us."

"Yeah." Old Hunter didn't think about what was wrong just now.

He followed Captain Meng's example and knocked on the table: "Now we must figure out the whereabouts of the Sheen family, because in addition to the three possibilities mentioned by Dean, there is a fourth possibility, that is, the Sheen family is indeed He went on a trip, but he was killed on the way. There was another female victim in the villa. "

This is actually nonsense.

Old Hunter just wanted to show his presence as a deputy team out of habit.

"But!" Robert, who had never had a chance to speak, became more energetic: "Deputy team, the blood of the female victim was mixed with the blood of Sheen or Sheen's son, which means that at least one of them was with him at the time. The female victims were together, how could they be killed while traveling? "

This is an opportunity to speak!

Robert raised his doubts cutely.

"."

Old Hunter was asked.

He stood there blankly, opening and closing his mouth several times, and then with an ugly look on his face he muttered: "Really?"

Phoebe rolled her eyes at her apprentice Robert.

This idiot!

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward for a while.

At this time.

Dean's phone vibrated.

This is an unknown caller.

Dean glanced at the embarrassed old Hunter and picked up the phone: "Deputy team, let me take a call. It may be related to the case."

Old Hunter finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Dean was very pleasing to the eye at this moment: "Hurry up, the meeting is about to end anyway."

Dean nodded and answered the phone.

"Dean?"

Hear this sound.

Dean's mind immediately pictured the big head of bald patrolman Hawk: "Yes, this is Dean, are you Hawk?"

"Yes, I don't have a cell phone, so I asked the archives office for your phone number. There is good news. Marcus is awake and in good condition."

"Great!" Dean was overjoyed and said sincerely: "Thank you, Hawke, I'll treat you to dinner after the case is over!"

Hawke clearly could have called the Fourth Squadron directly, but he took the trouble to contact him because he was probably worried that he was a newcomer and would be robbed of his credit.

This guy can handle it.

Put down the phone.

Dean smiled and looked at everyone: "Guys, good news, the breaking point is here, Marcus is awake!"

Old Hunter took the opportunity to get up and start arranging work:

"very good!

Dean, you and Lawrence go to the hospital to question him.

Daisy, go check the vehicle status of everyone in the Sheen family, and also pay attention to their credit cards and related belongings.

Phoebe, you and I are going to visit the Sheen family's acquaintances.

Harry, you specifically investigated all the information about Markarth.

As for you, Robert."

Under Robert's anxious eyes, Old Hunter threw away the list that Daisy had received from the logistics company: "You are responsible for finding all the furniture and appliances, and together with the people from the forensics department, Put it back to its original location in the villa!”

Poor kid, it looks like he has to be a porter!

Old Hunter is indeed a veteran.

Every aspect has been considered.

By the way, he also taught the rookie Robert a lesson in an upright manner: Don’t slap the leader in the face!

Division of labor completed.

Everyone got busy.

Dean also pulled Lawrence, a strong man, into the cute pink Porsche and drove towards the hospital where Marcus was.

He had a premonition.

Marcus, this key figure, will bring breakthroughs and direction to the case!

Thanks to Fengyu Qiufen book friend for the reward, and thank you boss.

The dog thief is going to have a feast at night.

There is one more chapter to be added, I will talk about it when I come back.
