Chapter 290： [The case of eight teenage corpses]

Chapter 290 [The Case of Eight Teenage Corpses]

 An area west of Los Angeles.

 Luo An arrived here in the SUV of the special investigation team, and followed Lacey's guidance on the phone to a relatively remote area.

Although this area is relatively remote, it is brightly lit and the LAPD has set up a cordon.

 “Hello, FBI Special Investigations Unit.”

 Getting out of the car, Luo An took out his FBI gold badge to show his identity. The LAPD who stopped him was surprised when he learned Luo An's name. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to Luo An and said loudly:

 “Hello, Deputy Leader Greenwood!”

  The LAPD patrol officer's voice was a bit loud, causing the LAPD officers not far away to turn their heads. Then everyone looked at Luo An with expressions of shock or astonishment on their faces.

The bank robbery occurred in the morning of this day. Roan Greenwood entered the bank alone and successfully killed four robbers without getting hurt. The story has been spread within the LAPD police station.

They are all law enforcement departments. Every LAPD knows how difficult it is to do this. Regardless of the positions of different departments, most LAPD admire Luo An.

And within the LAPD police station, there are some guys who are more confident in themselves and submitted letters of recommendation to the Special Investigation Team.

"Hello."

 Hands out to shake hands with the LAPD who came up one by one, Luo An's face was full of smiles.

 Suddenly I had the illusion that I had become a star.

Seeing that Luo An was planning to enter the scene, a LAPD hurriedly set off a warning tape for Luo An.

"Thanks."

Luo An smiled and thanked the other party and walked into the cordon, and then saw Lacey outside the other cordon.

Lacie was standing next to a big rock by the sea. Sitting on the big rock was a middle-aged white woman in cool clothes with a good figure and a beautiful face.

 But at this time, the white woman buried her head on Lacey's belly, her body was shaking, and she was sobbing softly.

He and Lacey looked at each other and nodded. Luo An turned his attention to the scene and found that there were four tents here, with a fire and barbecue in the middle. It was obviously a camping site.

 But at this moment, next to the fire at the camping site, eight pieces of white cloth were extremely eye-catching. There were eight corpses covered under them.

“Hello, I’m Sheriff Bill, Deputy Chief Greenwood. It’s an honor to meet you.”

 “Hello, Mr. Sheriff.”

Stretched out his hand to shake hands with the LAPD sergeant at the center of the scene again, Luo An asked:

 “What’s going on at the scene?”

“Eight teenagers died while camping, within 4 hours.”

Sheriff Bill looked at the white cloth at his feet and sighed, pointed at Lacey and the white woman not far away, and said:

“That person is the sister of one of the girls and the person who reported the crime.”

 “OK.”

Luo An bent down, opened one of the white cloths and took a look. There was no external injury on the body, so he asked:

 “Has the cause of death been found?”

 “There is a high probability that it is a unique product.”

Sheriff Bill’s face didn’t look very good:

“According to the documents on the victims, we found that these children were not yet adults, and we did not know who sold the items to them.”

  Sheriff Bill has a daughter who is about the same age as the deceased teenagers. She has been having a tantrum recently and has not spoken to him for a long time.

And Los Angeles is a world-famous world of entertainment, with all kinds of temptations emerging in an endless stream. Sheriff Bill's hair is almost turning gray because of his daughter's hair.

Beside the corpses, Luo An’s expression did not change when he heard that the causes of death of these victims might be unique.

 After coming to Los Angeles, he discovered that because of Hollywood and the group of stars, the uniqueness of Los Angeles cannot be described as a simple overflow compared to New York. It is simply an overflow that ordinary people cannot understand.

 Many bars or private parties even boast unique products such as cannabis.

Although the LAPD Police Department has been cracking down on unique crimes, it is unable to effectively crack down on unique crimes on a large scale because of the group of wealthy celebrities, as well as the political friends or other wealthy people behind the wealthy celebrities. “This case is left to you.”

Sheriff Bill stood aside and answered the phone, briefly narrated a few words, walked over and looked at Luo An and said apologetically:

“Another case happened in Hollywood, and we really don’t have enough manpower.”

 Because of the existence of Hollywood, Los Angeles has ushered in unprecedented prosperity.

But also because of Hollywood, the workload of LAPD police officers has always been high in the rankings of major cities in the federal territory.

"no problem."

Luo An took out his mobile phone and called the Trace Inspection Department and asked them to send someone here as soon as possible. Then he pointed to the road in the distance and asked:

 “Is there surveillance there?”

 “Sorry, no.”

Sheriff Bill shook his head and said that this area was too remote and there were no surveillance cameras at all.

Luo An was not disappointed. He just asked casually. After a brief discussion with Chief Bill, he turned and walked to the other end of the crime scene.

“Hello, ma’am, I’m Roanne Greenwood, deputy director of the FBI’s Special Investigations Unit.”

Walking to the side of the big stone, Luo An explained his identity:

 “He is also Lacey’s team leader.”

 The middle-aged white woman raised her head, stretched out her hand and shook hands with Luo An:

“Hello, Deputy Leader Greenwood, I know you.

 Just call me Vivian, I’m Lacey’s landlord. "

Luo An discovered at a close distance that Vivian was far more beautiful than he expected, and she was no less beautiful than the female stars in Hollywood.

Especially since Vivian is in her thirties this year, her mature temperament comes across her face and is very attractive.

Luo An, who knew Lacey's two-hour performance, glanced at her calmly, secretly feeling that he still underestimated Lacey, but the expression on his face remained unchanged and he said in a solemn voice:

“I would like to express my condolences about your sister. Can I ask you a few questions?”

 “It doesn’t matter, just ask.”

Vivian took out a piece of paper and wiped the tears on her face. Luo An did not ask the other party immediately, but turned his attention to Lacey.

Upon seeing this, Lacey immediately understood what Luo An meant and explained:

“I have reserved the tables and chairs in the office tonight, and then Vivian and I will cook dinner together at home.

After dinner, Vivian found that her sister Tina had not returned home yet, so she called her, but no one answered.

Tina said that tonight was a party between classmates and left her address beforehand, so Vivian and I rushed here based on the address she left.

 Then I saw the situation at the scene. "

Luo An nodded and asked Vivian:

 “Does Tina have a history of eating flour?”

 “No, there isn’t.”

Vivian shook her head repeatedly:

“My parents have always paid close attention to Tina and disciplined her very well. She is a good child. She only drinks a little secretly on weekdays.”

Tina, as the younger sister, is still in her teens this year, but Vivian, as the elder sister, is already in her thirties...

 Silently admiring the appearance of the two sisters' parents, Luo An continued to ask:

“Is there anything abnormal in Tina’s recent behavior or attitude towards daily life?”

Vivian continued to shake her head:

“Tina is still an adolescent girl, and her temper will definitely be abnormal, but this is all normal and nothing special.”

After asking a few more questions, but still getting nothing, Luo An thought for a while and finally asked:

“Can you give us Tina’s mobile phone? There may be clues in it.”

"no problem!"

Vivian nodded repeatedly and repeatedly asked Luo An to help find the murderer of her sister's death.

Not long after, agents from the Trace Inspection Section arrived here. Luo An comforted Vivian with a few words and turned to walk towards the scene. At this moment, Lacey suddenly followed and whispered in Luo An's ear:

 “Luo An, I know something about Tina, this girl…”
