Chapter 92 The robber is NYPD?
After hearing Lacey's words, Augustus watched the video and quickly reacted. He clapped his hands and cursed loudly with a word starting with F.
"What's the meaning?"
Seeing that Mona still didn't react, Roan called up all 6 videos, slowed down the short video before the robber entered the bank, and showed her one by one:
If the walking posture of the bank robbers in the previous four cases outside the bank is called normal.
Then the two robbers in the fifth and sixth cases, compared with the walking posture of the first group of robbers, their knees are more outward when they step forward.
It wasn't until after opening the door and breaking into the bank lobby that the walking posture of the robbers in five or six cases became similar to that of the previous four bank robbers.
To put it simply, the fifth and sixth robbers deliberately disguised their walking posture to make their image in the surveillance video of the bank hall more similar to the previous robbers!
After watching the surveillance video, Mona immediately covered her mouth and looked at Roan in shock.
She never expected that Roan actually found a clue to prove the imitator of the case, and it was in a video of less than 2 seconds.
After scolding the robber, Lacey looked at Roan with the same astonishment.
She is different from Mona, Lacey was shocked by Roan's carefulness and observation.
Augus patted his big belly and grinned.
He knew that Roan would never let him down.
"What do we do next?"
Silence for a while, Mona subconsciously tilted her head to look at Roan, she has been used to looking for Roan in case of trouble:
"Even if we know there are imitators, we probably won't be able to find each other, right?"
The surveillance video is too short. Except for the third case, the videos of the other cases are only about ten seconds long.
Now even if we know that the fifth case and the sixth case are really imitation crimes, the surveillance video will not be able to find any more clues.
Unless you start to investigate the witness statements at the scene of the crime.
But those witnesses were frightened after all, and the testimony only contained general information. Even if someone told some details, it was impossible to judge whether it was true or not.
Lacey next to frowned:
"If the other party is imitating the crime, does that mean that this group of people is very clear about the specific circumstances of the previous cases?"
"You're right."
Roan pointed to the still playing computer video and said:
"The imitator must know the robber's height, weight, attire, and the robber's modus operandi.
The interval between the fifth case and the fourth case was not long, less than a week, and the time was very fast.
In such a short period of time, they were able to imitate the first group of robbers so much alike, they must have had a lot of practice. "
Hearing Roan's words, several people present nodded in unison. Lacey was silent for a moment and then whispered:
"The only one who can clearly know the details of the previous four cases is the NYPD, except for the agents of the No. 14 investigation team."
After the bank was robbed, they pressed the alarm bell. Although the FBI would also receive the news, it was the NYPD who arrived at the bank the first time.
After all, they have patrolmen patrolling the streets, and maintaining order at the crime scene is also one of their jobs.
"What?"
Hearing Lacey's words, Augustus's big grinning mouth suddenly closed, and then looked at her with a serious expression:
"you sure?"
Charges against New York police officers are serious business.
The New York police force is numerous, more than 30,000 people. The funding is also huge, ranking first in the entire Federation in terms of budget and expenditure for the police department.
In addition, the police are extremely united in the face of an organization like the FBI, so unless they get 100% certain direct evidence, the FBI will not move them easily.
"NYPD is actually just one side."
Roan next to him shook his head. He thought that the chances of NYPD being the robber in the latter two robberies were very small:
"In addition to the New York police, when the previous four cases occurred, the witnesses who were locked in the bank, bank staff, bank security guards, bank managers, etc., all had the possibility of committing crimes."
Hearing Roan's words, Augustus's slightly frowning brows were relieved, and Lacey nodded after a moment of thought.
Mona tilted her head and looked at Roan. Roan picked up the confessions of the fifth case and the sixth case, briefly flipped through them and said: Continue to say:
"So our next task is to carefully investigate these people.
See if there have been any abnormal changes in their economic levels in the recent period.
As for the first four cases, we will investigate after we have clarified the circumstances of these two cases. "
"OK."
After listening to Roan's analysis, Augustus's **** face showed a smile, stood up on the chair with a big belly, waved at the technicians sitting behind, and shouted loudly:
"We're going to do some IRS work next!
Scrutinize everyone at the scene of the first four cases! Be sure to find out their recent financial situation! "
At the same time, Augustus did not give up on the clue of NYPD. After pondering for a moment, he turned his attention to William:
"Go and check the case log to see which New York police officers have checked the documents of the previous four robberies. If you find abnormal times, report them to me immediately."
"OK."
William nodded heavily with a serious expression, turned and left the No. 5 investigation team.
As Augustus’ arrangements fell, the entire No. 5 investigation team began to get busy, and Roan began to...
Take a sip of coffee and continue to check the monitoring.
More than two hours later, several technicians of the No. 5 investigation team sorted out a list of suspicious persons.
The list is full of basic information such as height and weight, people who are similar to the robbers in the previous four robberies.
And they had no alibi for the fifth and sixth robberies.
The list includes witnesses to the scene of the previous four cases, including relatives of bank staff and bank security.
"Um?"
Seeing that there was actually the security guard who was robbed of the bank for the first time in the list, Luo An frowned slightly:
The list shows that Freddie, the bank security guard, was a soldier when he was young. His salary in the bank was average, and his standard of living had always been average.
Although he hasn’t bought a new car or house recently, he started going to a **** with a high consumption level after get off work.
On the day of the fifth and sixth robberies, he asked for leave from the bank and did not go to work.
This is something Freddie has never done before.
Lacey on the side saw the records in the list, frowned slightly, but still tilted her head to look at Roan:
"Do you want to check this security guard?"
"certainly."
Roan nodded, put away the list, got up and took Lacey to the equipment room:
"Let's see whether Mr. Freddie goes to a strip bar to work part-time as a security guard at night because of lack of money, or simply goes to a strip bar to enjoy the customs of New York."
—
The first bank to be robbed.
The pitch-black SUV came to a stop slowly, and Roan and Lacey, who were fully armed, got out of the car, opened the door and entered the bank, and an elderly black security guard with a puffy stomach immediately greeted them.
"Hello, two agents."
The elderly black security guard shook hands with Roan, stretched out his hand to lure the two into the reception area of the lobby, and then asked with a smile:
"Is there anything you two need my help with?"
After reaching out his hand and shaking each other, Roan asked directly without any nonsense:
"Where is Freddie now? Didn't he come to work?"
"He went to buy coffee and should be right back."
Hearing Roan's question, the elderly black security guard smiled and pointed to the coffee shop diagonally opposite the bank.
At this time, a middle-aged white man wearing a bank security uniform walked into the bank with two cups of coffee. Seeing this, the elderly black man immediately stretched out his hand and shouted:
"Freddy! Someone's looking for you!"
When Roan and Lacey heard this, they immediately turned their attention to Freddy.
Freddie saw Roan and Lacey in full armor, the smile on his face froze immediately, and without hesitation, he threw the coffee in his hand aside, turned and ran.
"Fu-k!"
Seeing Freddy turning and running without hesitation, Roan and Lacey Qiqi cursed secretly, and hurriedly got up and chased after him.
There is a wide road between the outside of the bank and the coffee shop on the opposite side. When Roan and Lacey rushed out of the bank, Freddie ran across the road quickly, regardless of the danger of being hit by a car.
"You left and I right!"
Seeing Freddy running fast, Lacey didn't hesitate, turned her head and said something to Roan, and ran after him.
"OK!"
Roan didn't talk nonsense, and rushed out in another direction decisively.
