Chapter 760 Stupid Suspect
A few minutes later, in the employee parking lot at the back door of the hotel, Jack and Hannah sat in the Hellcat and watched the restaurant manager named Rod Det change into casual clothes, walk out of the back door with a panicked look, and drive away in a Toyota pickup truck.
"Do you think he is the murderer?" Hannah put on a bulletproof vest.
After the Toyota pickup truck drove a distance, Jack started the Hellcat and slowly followed it. "It's hard to say, but this guy has a criminal record. According to the information found by the Operations Center, he was arrested for stalking and harassing a woman online and threatened her. He was sentenced to four years.
He actually stayed in there for less than a year. He was released on bail half a year ago and is still on bail now."
"So these people lie even about tattoos?" Hannah was surprised. The five black dots meant that he had been in there for five years, but this guy was released in less than a year.
"Some people regard prison life as a kind of qualification and think that it is more attractive to the opposite sex. This guy should be such a person." Jack curled his lips in disdain.
North Salem is strictly speaking a small town, with a very small town center. It took less than 10 minutes to drive to the suburbs. The Hellcat followed the Toyota pickup truck far behind and drove into an old forest residential area.
Jack stopped the car, put on a bulletproof vest, and checked the guns as usual. In this country, even if you catch a thief, you have to be careful. Who knows if the other party will suddenly take out a small pistol from his pocket.
Rod Det obviously didn't expect that he would be followed. He got out of the car and rushed directly into a wooden house. Jack looked at the location and found that the registered residential address of this guy was consistent with the information sent by Jubal.
During the parole period, the parole officer will implement different bail regulations according to the severity of the crime committed by the criminal. Ted's case is not serious. He only needs to report the situation regularly and make an occasional home visit, but he must not change his residence at will.
"I'll knock on the door, and you are responsible for blocking the rabbit hole." Jack pulled out his pistol and tilted his head towards the backyard. Hannah understood and went around to the back door of the back door house.
"Det, FBI, open the door!"
As Jack banged on the door several times, there was a ping-pong sound from inside the house, followed by the sound of someone running on the floor, and finally the sound of a door opening from the backyard.
And then nothing happened. When Jack went around to the backyard, he saw Rod Det, who was lying on the ground groaning with his hands on his chest, and Hannah, who was handcuffing him.
If this guy is really the murderer, he is probably the stupidest and easiest serial killer they have ever caught. There is a smashed laptop at Rod Det's feet, which is obviously why he rushed home in a hurry.
"Let me guess, is there something shameful in it?" Jack smiled at him.
"I have the right to remain silent." Rod Det was hit hard in the stomach by Hannah, and now he can't even straighten his waist.
——
The stupidity of a certain guy is even a little unexpected. The laptop is almost intact except for the LCD screen. The geek technician in the IT department easily restored the data inside.
Hannah frowned and flipped through some disgusting pictures on the tablet, showing a sad face to Jack, "Are you sure you want me to be responsible for interrogating this bitch?"
"Maybe this is the first serial killer you have caught yourself. Are you sure you want to give the credit to someone else?" Jack smiled evilly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go prepare the information." Hannah rolled her eyes, looking unmotivated.
At this time, Aubrey and Isobel also returned to the combat center. They visited the husbands of the other two victims. It can't be said that they got nothing, but they did not get any important clues.
"I even asked the neighbors around the two families' residences. There was nothing suspicious. They were all ordinary young couples. There was no noise complaint or suspicion of domestic violence."
Isobel looked helpless. It can be seen that as a newcomer, she wanted to show her performance in this case, but she was unlucky.
"The husbands of both families said that their wives had been approached and harassed by some boring men, but given the appearance of the victims, it seemed to be within an acceptable level, and there was no police report or personal restraining order regarding stalking."
After explaining the situation, Aubrey sighed, his face full of envy, "I heard that you have caught a suspect?"
Hannah was a bit speechless, and handed him the tablet in her hand, "That idiot is too stupid, I feel something is wrong, and I am going to interrogate this guy later."
Aubrey took the tablet, and at the same time, he and Isobel, who was standing next to him, showed an expression of "old man on the subway looking at his phone".
Rod Det's computer has a bunch of poorly PS pictures, similar to the very low-level emoticons, such as putting a beautiful woman's head on a pig's body, and then adding a bunch of trash talk.
Of course, if it is just a PS picture of this level, there is no big problem, but one of the pictures that was spoofed was one of the victims, Beatrice Santos.
Rod Dett photoshopped Beatrice Santos and a dog together in some unspeakable pose.
"Are you sure this guy is not the murderer? This is a very strong connection, showing full of malice." Aubrey was a little surprised.
Hannah glanced at Jack and saw that he was smiling but not saying anything. She knew that he thought the same as she did. "The murderer's method of disposing of the bodies was not very clever, but it was indeed well thought out. If it weren't for some accidents, the police might not have found these bodies until now.
And the bastard we caught, how should I put it? I feel that this guy's IQ and courage are not enough to support him to commit such a crime, but who knows, maybe my intuition is wrong, or maybe we are lucky this time, we will know after the interrogation."
Jack smiled at Aubrey and said, "Are you interested in interrogating this guy with Hannah?"
Aubrey rubbed his hands with some expectation and entanglement, "It's just that my luck seems to be very bad recently. Two female friends have blocked me in a row."
Compared to Jack, this guy is a real "Sea King". Before joining the FBI, Aubrey made a lot of money on Wall Street and basically achieved financial freedom.
His so-called female friends are basically some beautiful young actors or models who are not yet famous. They only talk about sex but not love. According to him, he has some intimacy phobia and is afraid of getting too close to people in his emotional life.
Intimacy phobia is a common psychological problem, not a disease. It is mainly manifested in deliberately keeping a distance in interpersonal communication and refusing to be too close.
In fact, many people in modern society have similar situations. They are eager to make friends with others, but they are worried about making the wrong payment, which leads to anxiety and slowly begins to avoid intimacy and keep a distance from everyone around them.
Of course, this situation will also rise to personality disorder, which is another matter.
Jack sneered at his statement. With Aubrey's emotional intelligence, there is no such problem at all. Everything is just an excuse for "Sea King".
Just a few delicious meals before made this foodie tell everything he knew. His past experiences were like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. Although it can't be said that they are completely open-minded, it is definitely okay to say that everyone is a friend.
Jack asked Hannah and Aubrey to be in charge of the interrogation not because he was not interested in the case, but because it was basically foreseeable that this was one of the few major cases they had handled before the Wanted Criminals Team was officially established.
Although he was very confident in the teammates he selected, he also needed to learn more about them. After all, everyone had different styles of handling cases and different focuses. Jack hoped to see different performances under pressure so that they could better cooperate in the future.
Hannah and Aubrey spent some time preparing the materials and entered the interrogation room, while Jack and Jubal walked into the observation room next door.
