Chapter 1188: A Little Trouble in the Town of Margrave

In the police conference room, which was as large and equipped as the New York base of the Most Wanted Criminal Team, a large screen that occupied half of the wall lit up, and the mugshots of two middle-aged white men and women appeared.

The man on the left is about forty or fifty years old, with a shiny bald head and a rather fierce face. His brown beard looks a bit sloppy, and the beard on his chin has begun to turn white.

The woman on the right looks younger than him, but judging from her appearance, she is also not someone to be trifled with. Her face is full of flesh.

Both of them have typical southern red-neck looks. Both their appearance and temperament are very consistent with the public stereotype.

Although he has been the director for two years, in front of the FBI, especially Jack, Stevenson still looks like the cowardly weakling he was before.

No way, who made Jack and Braxton kill people like chickens in his house, and killed Kleiner's cousin Dawson and the old police officer Baker in the kitchen and living room respectively (183 chapter).

Afterwards, Stevenson vomited countless times just to clean up the blood tofu on the floor. He was really impressed.

Trying not to let the laser pointer in his hand tremble too obviously, he cleared his throat forcefully and began to introduce.

"Teddy and Janice Beaudette, a truck-driving couple, were found dead last night in a deserted field off I-85 near the Georgia-Alabama border. In your own car.

The container towed by their truck was opened and the goods inside were stolen. Some of the goods were tablets purchased by Margrave Town Middle School for online teaching during the summer vacation. Now the children can spend the summer vacation happily again. "

After all, he was already a leader. Stevenson quickly regained his composure and even made a little joke at the end.

"Well, in order for the children to have a wonderful summer vacation, this case must be solved as soon as possible." Jubal nodded cooperatively to indicate that the FBI had accepted the case.

"Because it is an interstate transportation, this theft and homicide case is a federal case. Jiejie should contact the DOT (Federal Department of Transportation) and tell them that this case will be handed over to the FBI."

So Jiejie got up, picked up her phone and walked out of the conference room, but Jack wanted to know more. He was very curious about this case that happened at the junction of the two states, which was not within the jurisdiction of Margrave Town at all. How did the police get the case information so quickly?

Stevenson's answer to his question was simple, "The transportation company that this couple is affiliated with is from our town. They found us immediately and hoped to solve it as soon as possible, so Rosko thought of you. ”

"Cargo compensation will be settled by the insurance company. When did the trucking company become so active?" Aubrey said he didn't understand.

So more photos of the scene were displayed on the big screen, and Stevenson's expression was a bit hard to explain, "From the scene, it appears that the couple was murdered outside the car, and then the bodies were put back into the car.

Janice was laid flat on the rest bed in the back. The results of the sexual assault were not yet available, but her clothes were probably intact when she was discovered.

As for Teddy, he was placed in the driver's seat with his hands tied to the steering wheel with tape. "

Clay frowned and pointed to one of the photos of the deceased male, "What's that on the dashboard?"

"That's why the trucking company is concerned, it's Teddy's ears, both of his ears were cut off."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. This typical ritualistic arrangement showed that the murderer wanted to convey some kind of message.

"What's the cause of death?" Aubrey asked, his interest rising.

"Janice was shot and Teddy was stabbed to death, but judging from the scene report, the forensic team did not find the bullet casing. It should have been taken away by the murderer." Stevenson finished speaking and handed over the information in his hand. Distribute to everyone.

Things seem to be getting interesting. The modus operandi doesn't look like it was done by a novice.

"What's in the car?" Hannah asked.

"They are mainly electronic products, but they belong to different distributors. The middle school in the town purchased only a small part of them. The specific list is still waiting for confirmation from the trucking company and will be delivered soon."

Stevenson spread his hands and said that was all he had.

"It doesn't sound like a highway robbery. Ordinary robberies don't move bodies." Aubrey expressed his opinion as a starting point.

Clay nodded in agreement, "The couple are quite big. It shouldn't be easy for a normal adult to carry their bodies back to the car, right?"

"It looks like they messed with someone they shouldn't mess with. Teddy's ears were cut off. Is this to send a warning? Didn't heed the advice? Or something else?" Hannah held her chin in thought. .

Then the experienced veteran agent Jubal spoke, "This is not surprising, those who drive trucks for long-distance transportation are troubled people, or this is the case in the entire industry.

Unions and unions, unions and gangs, gangs and gangs are all possible. "

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"But there should be a driving recorder on the truck, right?" Jack looked at Alice. After Jiejie returned to the conference room, the two of them had already contacted the state police from two states.

"Alabama State Police records show that the vehicle's dash cam was turned off in a parking lot 20 miles from the crime scene."

Alice shrugged and said, "I have a cousin who drives a truck. Although I don't know much about this industry, I know that truck drivers hate being tracked by their bosses in real time, but there is no good way to deal with it."

"It sounds like it's similar to us." Jack laughed, which resonated with everyone.

The mobile phones equipped by FBI agents not only have to be turned on 24 hours a day, but also record their whereabouts in real time. Therefore, not to mention Jack, it feels troublesome. Even the others who don't have as many troubles as him are also very annoyed by this function.

Jack continued to analyze, "And did you notice? The murderer's behavior is somewhat contradictory. Stabbing someone to death with a knife is an expression of emotional anger, but since the other party prepared a gun and shot Janice twice, it shows that it was a premeditated murder.

And the murderer was able to quickly regain his composure and carefully recovered the shells, which means that either the same veteran did it, or two people did it at the same time."

Jubal clapped his hands and began to assign tasks, "Then let's get started. I suspect that the truck was probably hijacked in that parking lot, and the murderer forced the couple to drive the car to a secluded place before taking action.

Let's go to the trucking company in town to inquire together, and then Jack, Clay and Aubrey will go to two on-site inspections, and Jiejie and Hannah will contact the state police and the truck drivers' union to inquire about the couple's specific situation."
