Chapter 736 Found the Trace, Silence Him Again?
At twelve o'clock noon, on a wide street in the middle of Harrisburg.
The SUV was slowly parked by Roan on the side of the road. Lacey was stunned when she heard his words, her face full of confusion and puzzlement:
"Did you guess where Anthony Sorin is? How did you guess it? Where is he?"
"Give me the map."
Roan turned sideways and pulled out a map of the city of Harrisburg from the drawer in front of the co-pilot.
When arriving in a new city, buying a map of the city first has become a habit for most agents in the special investigation team.
The reason why I say most of them is because Mona doesn't like to do this. She prefers to view the electronic version of the map on the computer.
Seeing the map in Roan's hand and seeing Roan draw a few points on the map, Lacey suddenly realized:
"Anthony Sorin has a route sequence for killing people!"
On the map, from the hospital where the crime occurred, to the residence of "Mr. Bodybuilder" Elliott, to the home of the company manager who lost contact, and finally to the motel where Adam Davis, the photographer who took the photo, died with two women.
The four locations are not a standard straight line, but as a whole, they present a few connected line segments from south to north.
"That's right."
Roan nodded in a serious tone. He just recalled the map of Harrisburg in his mind and found the situation of the line segment.
Without hesitation, Roan immediately took out his mobile phone and called Mona, briefly describing what he found, and then said:
"These four locations are not close. Anthony Sorin can't move forward by running. He will most likely choose to drive.
Mona, you and Michelle carefully investigate and check the surveillance videos of the areas around the above four locations, especially the surveillance on each street, to see if you can find the suspicious car."
"Understood!"
Mona answered decisively and began to lead Michelle to operate the computer. Roan hung up the phone and restarted the car, and went to the manager's residence with Lacey again.
Five minutes later, the two successfully arrived at the home of the manager in charge of drug transportation business in the pharmaceutical company.
After shouting for a few times but no one answered, Luo An kicked open the door of the villa and led Lacey into the villa. Soon, they found a male corpse in the study on the second floor of the villa. As expected, it was the target manager.
"It's not cyanide poisoning."
Luo An put away his pistol, briefly examined the body, and said:
"Like the "Mr. Bodybuilder" who was found by Winslow, this manager also died of a broken neck bone and was killed by one blow."
"It seems that we are right. Another guy was killed by Anthony Sorin."
Lacey sighed, took out her mobile phone and started to call the trace examination department. Luo An walked out of the study and began to search the specific situation of the villa to see if there were any surveillance equipment.
"The trace examination department will be here soon."
Lacey quickly hung up the phone and walked out of the room. Seeing Luo An standing in the middle of the living room, staring at the classical clock on the wall, she raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Is there a problem with the clock?"
"Take it down and have a look."
Luo An didn't waste any words. He directly took a chair and stood on it, and took the classical clock off the wall.
After physically removing the box outside the clock, a small camera appeared in front of the two.
"Wow."
Pick up the camera and observe it carefully, Lacey's face is full of surprise:
"Luo An, how did you find it?"
"Intuition."
Luo An smiled. As soon as he entered the villa, he found that the classical clock on the wall of the living room did not match the overall decoration style of the living room.
Luo An also guessed at first that this classical clock might be hung here because it is very valuable.
But after a careful observation, Luo An found that there was an alternative reflection in the corner of the clock. He removed it to find out, and the final result did not disappoint him.
"Awesome!"
Lacey tapped Luo An's arm with admiration. Luo An asked her to go upstairs to get the manager's laptop, and then inserted the camera's memory card into it.
After a few simple taps on the keyboard, a dim but clear surveillance video appeared in front of the two.
The surveillance video was very long, and Luo An skipped the useless part directly. Finally, around noon yesterday, he found a surveillance video that was not quite right.
In this video, the manager was standing in the living room and making a phone call, and then a garbage truck slowly stopped at the door of the villa in the corner of the surveillance video.
Not long after the garbage truck stopped, the manager who was on the phone seemed to notice something, and quickly hung up the phone and took out a pistol from under the sofa in the living room, and slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.
In the subsequent surveillance video, there was no gunshot, and the manager never appeared again. Less than two minutes after the manager went upstairs with a gun, the garbage truck slowly left the door of the villa.
"Garbage truck?!"
Lacey exclaimed, having realized a certain possibility. Luo An took out his mobile phone again and called Mona:
"How is your investigation going?"
"I'm working on it."
The keyboard clacking sound continued, and Mona spoke quickly:
"There are too many street surveillance videos near the four crime scenes, and the traffic is heavy. Michelle and I need some time."
"I found some clues here."
Roan briefly described the contents of the surveillance video he found, and Mona and Michelle were also a little surprised after listening:
"Garbage truck?"
"For mercenaries and killers, it's a good means of transportation, isn't it?"
Roan grinned and said:
"It's easy to load things in the back of the truck, and the vehicle itself is not easy to attract other people's attention. Many people also dislike the smell of garbage and will not take the initiative to approach the garbage truck."
"That's right."
Lacey nodded repeatedly in agreement. Before she could continue speaking, Mona's exclamation rang out on the phone:
"Roan, you are right! Not only did a garbage truck appear near the residence when the manager died!
The hospital, Elliot's residence, the motel, and the crime scene Garbage trucks have appeared at different times!"
Lacey asked quickly:
"Where is the garbage truck now?"
"It finally disappeared in the southwest of Harrisburg."
Mona quickly replied:
"Roan, I found the trace of Anthony Sorin!
Soon after the garbage truck disappeared, a Buick sedan appeared and left the area.
Now this Buick sedan is moving quickly towards Philadelphia!"
"Philadelphia again."
Lacey raised her eyebrows:
"Why do killers like to go to Philadelphia?"
"Because the transportation there is convenient and it is very suitable for running away."
Roan laughed and said to the phone:
"Mona, contact the Philadelphia law enforcement department and keep an eye on Anthony Sorin's movements. We will set off there immediately."
"OK."
Mona agreed and hung up the phone. Roan then called Winslow and others to explain the situation and asked them to return immediately to join him and others.
Winslow and Chenier immediately took the order and said:
"Team leader, we just found some situations when we were investigating the surveillance near the residence of "Mr. Bodybuilder".
"What?"
Chenier's tone was a little strange, she said:
"Just now, after Luo An explained the situation of the garbage truck, we also found its figure in the nearby surveillance.
But not long after the garbage truck left, another taxi followed it."
"Taxi?!"
Lacey was very surprised and turned to look at Luo An. Luo An suddenly smiled:
"If I'm not mistaken, there are other people who are ready to kill us."
