Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 391: Voluntary Suicide, Weak Spot

The next morning at the Special Investigation Team office area.

"So..."

Reesi sat at her workstation, took a big bite of her food, and after chewing a few times, spoke vaguely:

"Luo An, you mean that the gun club owner, Heks, didn't really confess to his guilt and commit suicide, he was forced into it.

And the person who forced him was in the office at the time, right?"

"That's correct."

Luo An finished the food in his hand and nodded to confirm this point.

Yesterday when he entered Heks's office, he quickly found something amiss at the window of the office; the two windows next to it showed no signs of being opened, only the one in the middle did.

At first, Luo An thought that window had been opened by Heks himself to let some fresh air into the office.

But when Luo An opened the window to look outside, there were no footprints or other marks, just a thin layer of dust.

Hearing this, Reesi looked puzzled: freewebnøvel.coɱ

"If there were no footprints or other traces, how did you determine that someone had climbed in through the window? Isn't it normal to have dust?"

Next to her, Mona looked at Luo An with a puzzled face too, not understanding how he had made the judgment.

"But there was only dust there, no fine sand."

Luo An shook his head, indicating that right outside the window of Heks's office, not far from it, was the road; over the years, the small platforms outside the other two windows had accumulated a lot of fine sand, which one could feel by just swiping a finger over them.

Only the middle window had very little sand, just a small amount around the edges, the rest was just dust.

"Then, next to the chair behind Heks's office desk, I found a small amount of fine sand on the floor."

Seeing the puzzled faces of Reesi, Michelle, and Mona, Luo An chuckled and continued to explain:

"Heks himself couldn't have been to the outside of that window, and his body's hands were clean, indicating the fine sand was not brought into the office by him.

The club's staff also mentioned that Heks's office hadn't had a big clean-up these days; the only explanation is that there was a second person in the office at the time."

Luo An extrapolated the scene at that time: Heks was joking with the club members downstairs for a moment, then went upstairs to return to his office, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a person sitting in his chair.

Whether Heks knew that person, Luo An didn't know, but the other person must have had something on Heks.

Only for this reason, the murderer was able to easily force Heks to write a confession, and then, in front of the murderer, kicked the chair to hang himself.

Judging from the fine sand left beside the chair, while Heks was writing the confession, the murderer must have been standing beside him, likely to prevent Heks from leaving any clues related to the murderer in the text.

After Heks struggled for a moment, lost his breath, and finally died, the murderer then turned around, opened the window, and left easily through the original route.

"Son of a bitch!"

"Damn assassin!"

After listening to Luo An's description, Reesi and Mona frowned and cursed softly. Just then, the door to the Special Investigation Team office area was pushed open, and Michelle raised the folder in her hand, saying:

"The autopsy results of the victim Heks have come out, and the cause of his death was indeed mechanical asphyxiation caused by hanging.

The act of hanging did not show any intervention by others, such as someone killing him first and then hanging him up; it can be determined he decided to hang himself.

At the same time, based on Group Leader Luo An's suggestion, the Trace Evidence Department examined the window at the crime scene and indeed found a small amount of material that does not belong to Heks's office, which suggests that there was indeed another person in the crime scene besides Heks."

"Great job."

Reesi threw a breakfast package to Michelle, who caught it effortlessly; Luo An took the report issued by the Trace Evidence Department, Mona turned on her computer, and without turning back, asked:

"So, what do we do next?"

"It's simple, investigate the connection between the new victim Heks and the earlier victim Taylor Davis.

Start with Taylor Davis's tenure as a judge, and the cases he handled during his time at the prosecutor's office."

Luo An tossed the folder aside, saying:

"One is a judge recently promoted from the prosecutor's office; the other lived a life more familiar with prison than home in his early years and finally became the owner of a legitimate club in his later years.

We had just started looking into it when they died one after the other, this can't be a coincidence. There must be something we haven't discovered yet."

"OK."

Mona nodded, starting to tap away at the keyboard, then Luo An turned to look back at Reesi, asking:

"How's the examination of Taylor Davis's personal items from his home coming along?"

"Not so well."

Reesi stretched her hand out to point towards the conference room, where there were now three large cardboard boxes filled with items she had brought back from Taylor Davis's home:

"Michelle and I looked through them yesterday. Taylor Davis's personal computer was simple, full of nothing but cases, almost all work-related.

In terms of his personal life, Taylor Davis had two notebooks, one of which contained the phone numbers of friends and family, the other was filled with his legal knowledge notes.

In Taylor Davis's phone, I found a hidden note containing contact information for Samia and several other women of the same profession as Samia."

"Wow."

Luo An thought for a moment and said:

"I'll take over the investigation of Taylor Davis's personal items.

Reesi, Michelle, the two of you look into Heks's situation. Maybe you can find something familiar that's connected to Taylor Davis at his place."

"No problem."

"Leave it to us."

Reesi and Michelle nodded and immediately got up to leave the Special Investigation Team to check out Heks's home.

Luo An pushed the door and entered the conference room, feeling a bit of a headache as he looked at the personal items related to Taylor Davis in front of him. He took a sip from his teacup, grabbed a folder, and started to review the contents.

Time ticked by, and two hours later, Luo An was looking over the work logs noted by Taylor Davis himself when his phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button, and Reesi's voice came through from the other end:

"Luo An, I found a safe under a tile on the kitchen floor at Heks's place.

Apart from some US Dollars, a handgun, and a passport in the safe, there was also an overseas bank account.

Michelle checked the bank account and found out that Heks deposited a sum of money there every month, and afterwards, it would be withdrawn by someone in Europe."

Luo An's eyebrows furrowed slightly:

"Can you find out who that person is?"

"We can't identify them; they're very cautious, always carefully hiding their face in front of surveillance cameras."

The voice on the phone switched to Michelle, who replied:

"However, the bank's records show that their system once marketed maternity and baby products to this person, it seems that the person should be a woman."

"... Then she must be Heks's weakness."

Luo An let out a cold laugh, using someone's vulnerability to pressure them was always the most convenient and effective method.

Just then, Mona's voice came from outside the conference room:

"Luo An, come here, I've found something."
