Chapter 764 Stolen Car and New Suspect

Thanks to the state police for protecting the scene very well, of course it has something to do with the lack of people nearby. It’s just that the researchers at the CSI laboratory had to follow the intermittent drag marks that were hundreds of meters long to look for possible traces. evidence of.

Although this kind of forest is not considered a virgin forest, it is still at the level of natural secondary forest, and the ecosystem has been basically restored.

In the hot summer, although the temperature in the woods is much lower than that of the asphalt road because it is close to the lake, the smell of humus formed by fallen leaves in the hot and humid environment is really unflattering.

If the murderer hadn't mistakenly chosen a path trodden by fishing men, and one of the fishing men happened to be a policeman and was keenly aware of something wrong out of professional habits, his purpose of dumping the body would probably have been achieved.

This kind of wetland forest full of mosquitoes, snakes, and rats is not a campsite that young people would choose. They are more likely to be seduced by Internet water ghosts to set up tents in the river downstream of the reservoir.

Handing the scene over to Mike Taylor and his people, Jack and his team returned to the operations center. Unexpectedly, the road monitoring screening went smoothly this time. When everyone walked into the big office, Jubal was working on the computer with a technician. identify a car's license plate.

"Did you find anything?" Jack glanced at the big screen. The identity of the latest victim had been confirmed. Maria Elena Ramos, just 20 years old, was also married.

"A Toyota Sienna SUV, which we photographed at an entrance to Central Park on the night Beatrice Santos disappeared. This was monitored at an intersection three miles from the scene you returned from last night. The picture captured by the camera should be the same car.”

The technician said as he put the two pictures on the big screen, "There is too much mud on the license plate. The murderer probably put it there on purpose. We just barely made out the three numbers."

The printer squeaked as he spoke, and Jubal eagerly took the printed A4 paper and handed it to Jack.

"There was an RV matching this description in the western town of Northern Westchester, but it was reported missing four months ago, shortly before the first incident. The owner was Pete DeLeon."

Jack took the information and glanced at it. He looked up and met Aubrey's expectant eyes. He simply stuffed it into his hand and said, "Then I'll leave it to you and Hannah."

Not long after he returned to the office, Jiejie knocked on the door, "We also found the name of the latest victim on the chat website. In addition, the CSI has transported the body back to the forensic laboratory. They also found the name of the latest victim on the chat website." No wedding ring was found on the corpse's finger."

"So, we can basically conclude that the murderer found the victim through that website. Has the IT department found any results in checking those IP addresses?" Jack asked.

"Not yet. Obviously, because someone abducted their goddess, the otakus are a little less motivated." Jiejie smiled with some evil intentions.

Is Alice, that single mother, so attractive? Jack scratched his head speechlessly, "Tell them that Alice will be back in a month, and there will be a party then. I will ask Aubrey to call all the models and celebrities he knows."

"Okay." Jiejie secretly glanced outside, and the smile on her face became brighter. "Do you and Jubal have any secrets that you are hiding from us?"

"Huh? No, I've told you and Hannah everything I can."

Whether it was Hannah or Jiejie, Jack had nothing to hide. He had explained to them the reasons for Jubal's previous resumption of old cases. He only did not disclose some personal privacy matters, such as extramarital affairs.

Hearing this, he walked to the door with some doubts, leaned out half of his body and cast his eyes on the corridor.

From his angle, he could only see the back of a strange woman, who was walking towards Jubal quickly and menacingly.

"Her name is Rena Trenholm, she is the detective in charge of the Newark office." Jiejie made a fist and pointed in the direction of the woman with her thumb.

"We just met at the elevator entrance. She said she was here to see Jubal. The two were once partners, but her expression didn't look like she was here to catch up with an old friend."

It's not like old lovers are getting together again. Jack murmured in his heart. He probably guessed the reason why this person appeared here. He probably came to ask Jubal why he wanted to reopen the old case.

Jubal mentioned before that he and his partner were handling the case together. If something really went wrong, the result would naturally be that both of them would have to suffer.

Some things don't mean you can face everything calmly if you don't have a bad conscience. What's more, Jubal also mentioned before that this old partner is now seeking an important position. Of course, you must be careful at this juncture.

So from Rena Trenholm's point of view, what Jubal did was somewhat suspected of stabbing her in the back. There was no need to eat this kind of melon. Jack simply explained the reason to Jie Jie, and the two of them went their separate ways. Been busy.

When Aubrey and Hannah came back, everyone met again. At this time, Rena Trenholm had left, but Jubal's face still looked a little bad.

The owner of the stolen Toyota Sienna SUV was Pete DeLeon, a volunteer at a children's hospital in western North Westchester. He was a very friendly man. When he saw Aubrey and Hannah, he thought it was him. The car was found.

He failed to provide any useful information. According to him, he was responsible for the theft of his car. He probably forgot to take out the key when he got home.

But out of caution, Aubrey and Hannah also got the contact information of his neighbor and went to visit him.

"We also visited two other neighbors around. They all said that he was a good person. His situation was confirmed, including that he was sick when he was a child. Uh, it was leukemia.

Oh, this should be the reason why he volunteered at the Children's Hospital. In addition, he injured his back at work two years ago. We have also confirmed this. It doesn't look suspicious."

It can be seen that Aubrey is very concerned about this case and wants to show it.

"Send his license plate number to the state police and let them notify us as soon as they find it." Jack ordered.

"Then our only hope now is that chat website. Have the IP addresses of those visitors been verified?" Jubal asked Jiejie who was in charge of this matter.

Jiejie projected a file onto the big screen. "There is a suspicious target at present, Kenneth Sigby, 28 years old, who runs a cafe in the suburbs of Northern Westchester. His address is on the second floor of the cafe. He has no criminal record and is married."

"Married?" Hannah felt a little strange. "Why would a married person visit a chat website where "involuntary celibates" keep each other warm? Is it just to find targets on it?"

"Who knows, maybe he is a target worth investigating." Jack looked at everyone, "Before asking him back, we need to conduct as detailed an investigation as possible.

There are also DNA test results from the CSI lab. I heard that their latest testing equipment can get preliminary results in as fast as 4 hours, so someone needs to keep an eye on it."
