Chapter 443: Investigating clues, the wealthy Lacosa
On the second Monday of January 2006, Roan and Mona arrived in Las Vegas by plane.
Lacie, Michelle, Winslow, and Chenelle had also arrived at the pre-booked hotel a few hours before.
When Luo An took this case, he was not thinking about himself, but more about other people in the special investigation team.
None of the four Laceys are rich people. The overtime pay of 2 million US dollars is definitely a sky-high price for them. They should not take the blame. Luo An, as a team leader, cannot stifle the team members' ability to make money. Chance.
Of course, Luo An is not a wasteful person, so he easily accepted the team leader’s $3 million in overtime pay.
This case is a cross-regional law enforcement after all. Although the FBI has the ability to enforce laws across regions, when it goes to work on other people's territory, it must say hello to other people.
Roan did not hide this from the team leader, Potente Byrne, and said hello to him.
After learning that Lacosa O'Dell was willing to donate US$5 million in equipment replacement funds to the FBI's Los Angeles branch, the team leader Potente Byrne waved his hand and contacted Russ without waiting for Roan's request. Law enforcement in Vegas.
Moreover, Potente-Byrne also granted the special investigation team the power to act expediently, and repeatedly told Luo An to call him in time when encountering problems. Luo An agreed with a smile.
“Good morning, everyone!”
Walking into the hotel’s pre-booked room, Lacey, Michelle, Chenelle and Winslow had all been waiting for a long time. They hugged each other. Roan smiled and said:
“How have you been during this vacation?”
“Great!”
Michelle was smiling, Lacey gave Roan a "you know" look, Chenelle smiled and said nothing, Winslow took Roan's luggage and put it aside, and replied with a smile:
“The vacation was great, but it was too long and I had nothing to do. I’m afraid my skills will be more rusty than before!”
“This time I’ll give you a chance to perform again.”
Luo An laughed and exchanged a few simple greetings. He stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand:
“Everyone! Go back to your room and change clothes!”
Now all of them are dressed in drag and immediately start investigating the case. Naturally, they have to change into the standard suits of FBI agents.
"clear!"
All the agents nodded in unison, men on the left and women on the right, all turned around and walked into the bedroom in the suite.
A few minutes later, everyone had finished changing their clothes, and all six of them were wearing suits with pistols on their waists.
Luo An nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, put the FBI's golden badge and ID card into his pocket, and said loudly:
“Everyone, I have told you the general information of the case before, so I won’t go into details here. I will now arrange the distribution of the next work content.
The FBI's Trace Inspection Section in Las Vegas has already gone to the crime scene, which is the duplex villa, to investigate.
But when they learn that the case is handed over to us, it may not go so smoothly.
So, Winslow, Chenille, and you two went to the Trace Inspection Department to get the report first, and then went to the villa at the crime scene to carefully check the clues there to see if there was anything that had been missed.
In addition, remember to get a copy of the identity information, home addresses, etc. of all the victims in the villa. "
"no problem."
Chenelle and Winslow gave Roan an OK sign and immediately turned around and left the suite.
The two left, and Luo An turned his attention to the remaining people.
“Lessie, Mona, you two go get the autopsy report.
We must find out the real cause of death of those in the villa. Only in this way can we speculate how the murderer acted.
In addition, the surveillance of the villa, the surveillance of roads and other places near the villa, as well as the travel records of the guests that night, departure and return time and other information must also be clarified. I leave this to you two. "
"a piece of cake!"
Lacey smiled, pulled Mona and left the suite. Lacey's low voice of inquiry echoed in the corridor: "Mona, your face looks beautiful again. What kind of cosmetics do you use? Can you recommend it?"
Mona: “…”
Roan was too lazy to talk to Lacey. He turned to look at Michelle who was left in the room and said:
“Michelle, you come with me. Let’s chat with Lexa O’Dell, a young rich woman who is both lucky and unlucky, and see if there are any clues.”
“Okay, team leader.”
Michelle nodded and prepared to follow Luo An to leave the suite.
"Not urgent."
Luo An reached out to hold the other party, then took out some small strings, feathers and other objects, and made a circle around the suite door, windows, bedroom door, and even the bathroom.
Facing the confusion on Michelle's face, Luo An's eyes flashed, but he didn't explain much, just smiled:
“It’s okay to be careful, let’s set off.”
"OK."
Michelle nodded and followed Luo An in the car to leave the area.
——
The O'Dell family is an established wealthy family that has been operating in the city of Las Vegas for several generations.
Since the Great Depression in 1931, in order to survive the economic difficulties, the Nevada State Assembly passed a bill legalizing gambling. When Las Vegas began to rise, the first generation of the O'Dell family came here and began to work in this city. Climb upward.
With the efforts of several generations, the O'Dell family not only owns shares in several well-known casino hotels in Las Vegas, but also has a share in the food industry, clothing industry, and even universities.
In terms of transportation, the O'Dell family almost monopolizes a quarter of the buses, buses, taxis, trams, etc. in Las Vegas.
When she learned that the special investigation team had arrived in Las Vegas, Lacosa O'Dell immediately sent someone to deliver six brand-new Dodge cars. She said that if they were damaged, they would not have to pay for it. It was fine. She also prepared a few cars for the special investigation team. A spare.
“…”x6
When Lacey, Michelle, Chenelle and Winslow heard this, their faces were filled with confusion as they were stunned by the money. Mona, who had seen the world, was speechless.
Luo An frowned slightly. Lexa O'Dell was obviously a little confused now. On the surface, she was trying to support her without any fear, but inside she was extremely frightened and flustered. Otherwise, she would not keep throwing money away.
Roan drove and Michelle quickly arrived in Las Vegas, where they met Lexa O'Dell in an office on the roof of a building.
In the office, Lexa O'Dell is wearing a red women's suit, with heavy makeup on her pretty face, her eyes are flying, and her red lips are like blood. She gives people a very sharp look, and she doesn't look like she is 19 years old at all.
When Roan and Michelle arrived, Lacosa was sitting behind a large desk, facing five trembling secretaries, with a cold face, signing various documents, and sternly ordering them to execute what she just said. out work arrangements.
“Good morning, Team Leader Luo An.”
Seeing Luo An and the two walking into the office, Lacosa waved her hand and told the five people to leave the office quickly to execute the order, and then said without raising her head:
“Both of you, please sit down. I’ll finish this report right away. There’s coffee on the table. I’ll pour it myself.”
“Good morning, Miss Lacosa.”
Luo An chuckled, not caring that the other party's words were a bit harsh, and poured two cups of coffee for himself and Michelle. Luo An took a sip and said with a smile:
“It seems you have guessed our purpose.”
“It’s not hard to guess because many people think the same way.”
Lacosa signed her name on the last page of the document, threw the pen away, raised her head and sneered:
“Everyone thinks that I was responsible for this case and that I killed so many people, right?”
Luo An grinned, did not answer her words, put down the coffee cup, stared at Lexa, and asked:
“Excuse me, Miss Lacosa, what happened on the night of the crime?”
