North American Detective: I Am Proficient In All Kinds of American IAI Chapter 49

  Chapter 49 Personnel Information, Visits

   "Is it hard to guess?" Dean came outside the villa and took off his gloves and gloves: "You got the information so quickly, which means that guy has a criminal record."

   "You're such a smart little guy!"

Hawk lost his energy: "That guy didn't have anything to prove his identity. I compared his photos and found his information in the database. The information is all here. After reading it, you will definitely think that this guy has something to do with the case here. .”

   Dean is interested.

  He took the helper's information, opened it and read it.

  According to the data display:

  The helper's name is Marcus, from Arkansas, 21 years old this year, a drug addict, he came to Los Angeles to wander a year ago, has no normal job, has three theft records and one drug sale record.

  Two months ago.

  Marcus has just been released from prison.

  Dean looked through several criminal records of Marcas, and felt that what Hawke said made sense.

  Addicts, experienced multiple thefts, plus the disappearing family of the owner, in the villa, disappeared furniture and appliances.

  Normal people would think there was something wrong with Marcus.

   However, these need more evidence to support.

  Dean put down Markas' information and opened the information of the owner's family.

   On the bright side, the United States pays more attention to the privacy of citizens. Even for the police department, it is difficult to obtain particularly complete information.

   What Hawke got was some simple registration information.

data shows that:

  The owner of this villa is Sean Gray, a Los Angeles native, 39 years old, German, and a second-generation immigrant who works as the financial director of a large company with an annual salary of more than 500,000.

  Sheehan's wife is called Mary, a very popular name, Arkansas native, 38 years old, a housewife, and a long-term voluntary help in a Christian church, she is a devout believer.

   Sean and Mary have two children.

  Son Bert, 19 years old, failed to enter college and dropped out of school.

  Daughter Marina, 15 years old, also dropped out of school six months ago.

   After reading the information.

  Dean was lost in thought.

  University tuition in the United States is not cheap.

  So it is not uncommon for children from ordinary families to choose to drop out of school in the end.

  But the Sean family is considered a good family.

  These are not rich, but they are defined as middle-class families, and they understand the importance of education for future generations.

  They are willing to spend a lot of money on their children's education, just to let future generations maintain their current class.

  The situation of Sean's family is a bit abnormal.

   Think of the weird photo in my hand.

  Dean realizes that there may be secrets that are not humane among Sean's family members.

   touch~

   A loud crash interrupted Dean's thoughts.

   Everyone looked around.

   I saw a battered truck and rode on Dean's equally battered used car

   "FK!"

   Accompanied by the sound of cursing, a strong white man with a face full of flesh and blood kicked the car door and jumped down from it.

   It was Lawrence who came.

  Lawrence saw that all the patrolmen around him were looking at him, and one of them put his hands on his waist and spread them out in embarrassment: "Guys, I just drove faster."

   The corner of Dean's mouth twitched.

  Hawk looked at Dean with a strange expression: "Dean, don't tell me, your partner is Lawrence!"

  “.Yes, is he famous?”

   "Then you are happy." The weirdness in Hawke's eyes turned into pity.

   "This guy once set a record for the police department: more than 365 complaints in one year!

  If it's not good ability.

   Lawrence has long been fired.

   But I heard that he made another major incident later, which almost caused the captain of the first squadron to step down.

   Unexpectedly, he is still in the police station. "

   Dean: "."

   Captain Munn took in Lawrence, and he was indeed an ambitious man.

the other side.

  Lawrence saw Dean standing outside the villa.

  He jumped out of the car in some embarrassment and ran towards Dean.

  Hawk's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Dean, next time I ask you to drink, I will withdraw first."

   After finishing speaking, Ma slipped away.

   "Dean, I'm glad you're back." Lawrence opened his hands, wanting to give Dean a bear hug.

  Dean pushed him away: "Thank you for thinking of me so much, but I would rather you call the insurance company so I can get another used car."

   "That's your car!" Lawrence's eyes widened, his face full of embarrassment: "I will handle it, now let's talk about the case."

   "Okay.", Dean shrugged: "...the reason is...the current clues are very vague, and now we can only confirm that someone died in this villa, but we don't know anything about what happened here."

   After listening to Dean's detailed explanation, Lawrence asked, "What do you think?"

   "The helper Marcus is indeed suspected, but he is still not sober. The most important thing for us now is to find out the situation of the Sean family."

  Dean spoke out his thoughts.

   "That's right, this is our focus." Lawrence nodded approvingly: "Site investigation, interpersonal relationships, and surrounding visits are the three basic ideas for solving a case.

  I will go in and investigate again now, Dean, you go and visit the neighbors around you. "

   "Okay." Dean nodded.

   The two split up.

  There are small single-family villas here, which can be regarded as mid-to-high-end communities, not only with independent gardens and fences, but also telephone bells are often installed outside the gates.

  Four villas around.

  The two families are not at home.

  The family is at home, but they don't like Dean at all.

   Fortunately, when I came to the last house, an old woman who looked not young came out of the iron gate in an electric wheelchair: "Son, what's the matter?"

   "Hi, ma'am, I want to ask a question."

  The old man is very good at talking.

  Because it is inconvenient to go out and can only wander in the community, she knows a little about every household.

After understanding.

  The Sean family, except for Mrs. Gray, rarely had contact with the surrounding neighbors, and Mr. Sean's son Burt often interacted with some dubious people.

   The two fathers and sons even fought in public because of this.

   When it came to Sean's daughter, Marina, the old woman was more impressed: “Their family moved here nine years ago, when Marina was only six years old, she was very cute and polite.

   But later on, Marina may have grown up, and she no longer likes to come out to play. She usually lowers her head and keeps silent. "

  Dean asked about the helper again.

   These are similar to what Hawke said before.

  The helpers were indeed hired by the Sean family themselves.

   But Dean gets two additional important pieces of information:

  First: Before the Sean family disappeared, Sean's wife specially told all the church members about the trip and said hello!

  Second: A few days ago, a truck with a hot dog logo on it stopped in front of Villa No. 76 and took away a lot of furniture and home appliances. If these furniture and home appliances can be recovered, maybe there will be extra gains.

   This visit has gained a lot.

  Thank you, Mrs.

  Dean turned and joined Lawrence.

  Lawrence has finished surveying the scene: "How about it, have you found anything new?"

  Dean nodded: "According to the information provided by the neighbors, the Sean family greeted people they knew before disappearing, as if they had premeditated disappearance!"

   "Is it possible that the murderer coerced them into doing this?"

Dean shook his head and pointed to the villa: "The obvious bloodstains in the hall of the villa are all destroyed, but those tiny blood drops are not, which shows that the other party knows the methods of the forensics department, but time is urgent, so they can only deal with it briefly and leave in a hurry. "

  If it was coerced by the murderer.

  The other party should have enough time to deal with these, instead of making things anticlimactic.

  The evidence found so far is still too little.

   "Okay, buddy." Lawrence put his arm around Dean's shoulder: "We can figure it out when the identification results from the forensic department come out tomorrow. Let's go have a drink now."

   "Sorry, I have an appointment."

  Just as Dean finished speaking, a bright pink Porsche appeared on the street in front of the two of them, and the window was lowered, revealing Laura's impulsive face: "Darling, long time no see."

   "Long time no see, Laura, I can't wait to take your yoga class." Dean patted Lawrence on the shoulder, got into the Porsche, and walked away.

  Lawrence looked at the tail lights of the car that disappeared in front of him, and then at the pickup truck that he was still riding on Dean's car, and let out a long sour breath of envy: "FK, I hate the boy!"
