Chapter 89 Investigation Direction

After returning to the office area of the No. 5 investigation team, Luo An decisively...

get off work.

Anyway, Verenes told him just now that the stipulated week starts tomorrow.

And during today's day, Roan and Ryder participated in the activities of suppressing gangs in the morning, went to the Organized Crime Investigation Section to participate in the interrogation of Robert at noon, and went to investigate the truth about the owner of the laundry in the afternoon.

After a busy day, there was no overtime pay for overtime work, so Luo An decisively chose to leave work.

But this time Roan's plan to go to Mona's apartment to have a meal fell through.

After thinking for a while, Roan was invited by Lacey to visit Ryder in the hospital with her.

After confirming that the other party is fine, she can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go to work the day after tomorrow, Lacey wanted to invite Roan to investigate the customs of New York, but Roan refused.

Because the decoration company responsible for decorating the apartment sent another design drawing to Luo An, hoping that Luo An would go and check it out.

"ha-"

The next day, sitting at his desk, Roan stretched and yawned a lot.

"Good morning! Agents!"

With a big belly, Augustus pushed open the door of the No. 5 investigation team office area, walked in with Mona, and then shouted loudly:

"A new day has begun! We have a new case in our hands! Everyone, cheer me up!"

A slap on the table in Lacey's station woke her up. Augustus looked at William and said loudly:

"William, tell me about this serial bank robbery!"

"Okay, sir."

William stood up with a lot of things on his desk, picked up the top folder, and read aloud to everyone:

“From the beginning of last month to last week of this month, several banks were robbed a total of 6 times in Queens, Bronx and Brooklyn in New York City…”

After briefly introducing the situation of the case to everyone, William began to distribute a lot of things on the desktop to everyone in the No. 5 investigation team:

"These are the surveillance video of the bank where the incident occurred, the statement of the bank staff and related witnesses, and the surveillance video of the area near the bank."

Looking at these items, Roman frowned. It seemed that they were all brought by William from Investigation Team No. 14.

"Good."

Augus nodded on the side, looking very satisfied, took a brief look at the testimony in it, and tilted his head to look at Roan:

"Roan, what do you think?"

Seeing all the agents of the No. 5 investigation team looking at him, Luo An sighed, picked up the whiteboard marker, and walked to the front of the office area.

"First of all, the first problem, we don't know where the robbers fled after robbing the bank."

Everyone in the No. 5 investigation team nodded. According to the data, the areas outside the banks were seriously lacking in monitoring, and the robbers disappeared completely after they escaped from the banks.

After only one of the robberies, the surveillance at the corner of a street east of the bank recorded the robbers fleeing.

"The second problem is the most important one."

Roan held the whiteboard marker and continued writing while saying:

"The moment the robbers entered the bank, they smeared the bank's camera with black spray paint.

Except for the third bank robbery because the bank had a hidden camera that recorded the whole process of the robbery, in the remaining five robberies, we can only restore the robbery at that time through the testimony of various eyewitnesses in the bank. The whole process of robbery. "

"Exactly."

All the agents nodded when they heard Roan's words. Augustus seemed to understand something, and asked in a concentrated voice:

"Any problem?"

"Exactly."

Roan pointed to the writing on the whiteboard and said:

"The time the robbers robbed was actually only two and a half minutes.

During this period, the robbers asked everyone inside the bank to lie on the ground without raising their heads.

So the testimony of these witnesses after the event, most of them only talked about the clothes of the robbers and the robbery process, but they had no real contact with the robbers. "

"No, Roan."

Hearing this, Lacey held up the folder in her hand and said:

"In the six robberies, except for the first and the sixth, the other four robbers took a female hostage in front of them and used them to threaten the bank security to let the security put down their guns, so the four women were actually contacted the robbers."

"You're right, Lacey."

Roan nodded, but then shook his head and said:

"But you did something wrong. In fact, it was the robbers who took the initiative to contact the four hostages, not the four hostages who took the initiative to contact the robbers."

Hearing Luo An's words, everyone present frowned, not understanding what the words meant.

Seeing this, Luo An explained in a deep voice:

"When the robber forcibly took the four female witnesses as hostages, the four female witnesses were all terrified, and their mental attention was not on the robber at all, but on the security guard of the opposite bank.

In addition, they turned their backs to the robber and did not see the appearance of the robber clearly. The robber just pointed a gun at their heads and did not touch them personally, so they only knew that the robber was a man with great strength. Through the eyes of the mask, it is known that the other party is white and other information.

But this information is not very useful for us to identify the robber.

Once we catch the robbers, this information could be used in court. "

"All right."

After listening to Roan's words, Lacey tilted her head and thought for a moment, but she didn't find any problems. After she nodded hesitantly, Mona looked up and asked:

"So, Roan, what do you mean by saying so much?"

"The meaning is very simple."

Roan stepped forward, put aside the testimony of all witnesses, and put aside all the surveillance videos, and then said in a deep voice:

"The investigation process of the No. 14 investigation team is mainly based on large-scale investigations, such as the investigation of the robber's tattoos, the investigation of the monitoring near the bank, and the questioning of relevant witnesses.

The surveillance video of the bank, except for the hidden camera video of the third robbery, the surveillance videos of the other five times were not carefully analyzed because of their average quality and short duration.

We need to do the opposite this time, and focus more on these five surveillance videos, witnesses’ testimonies, etc., which can be put behind. "

"What?"

Hearing Roan's words, Mona frowned suddenly, pointed at the computer screen and said:

"You also know that the quality of the surveillance video of these banks is mediocre, and the whole process from the time the robber entered the bank to the moment the robber smeared the camera with black paint took less than ten seconds. With just such a few video clips, how could we catch the bank robber with them? bandit?"

Augus, Lacey, William and others also frowned at Roan, and they didn't understand why Roan did this.

"Two reasons."

Roan did not talk nonsense, and explained with a serious face:

"First, large-scale investigations of such things require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Bruosen's investigation team on the 14th was not many people. The reason why they were able to launch a large-scale investigation in a short period of time was mainly because Bruosen mobilized his many years of contacts in order to solve this case regardless of the cost.

Our No. 5 investigation team has only ten people, and while it is impossible to launch a large-scale investigation, no one has such contacts. "

Augus frowned, his contacts were all in the Criminal Justice Department, and he really couldn't help this case.

After listening to Roan's words, Mona and Lacey looked at each other, tilted their heads and asked:

"What about the second?"
