Legendary FBI Detective

Monday, seven o'clock in the evening, an apartment in an upscale community in South Los Angeles.

Because the team leader Potente Byrne appeared, John's words immediately stopped, and he left the folder and check with Luo An after agreeing to talk next time, and left the office area of ​​the special investigation team.

Upon seeing this, Luo An took Lacey with him and went to the crime scene with the team leader Potente Byrne.

At this time, the lights outside the two-story apartment were brightly lit, and more than a dozen LAPD officers were struggling to maintain order at the scene. A large number of reporters outside were noisy, and the flashes for taking photos never stopped.

"The deceased's name was Seaman."

Potente-Byrne got out of the car, took Luo An and Lacey to open the blockade and walked quickly to the apartment, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip water:

"He is 55 years old. He is the most popular among the Los Angeles council members and is also the Speaker of the Los Angeles City Council."

"I know him."

Luo An didn't know much about these things, but Lacey next to him nodded and said with a serious expression:

"Seaman has repeatedly spoken out for the underprivileged people in Los Angeles and proposed many initiatives to benefit the underprivileged people."

Luo An's expression remained unchanged. It sounded like Speaker Seaman was a good person. He stepped onto the lawn outside the apartment and asked:

"What was the cause of Speaker Seaman's death?"

Potente Byrne's face became even colder when he heard this, and he did not answer Luo An directly:

"You'll find out later."

"Um?"

Luo An's eyebrows twitched. Did the murderer use torture and humiliation before killing Speaker Seaman?

The moment he walked into the apartment, Luo An realized that he had underestimated his imagination.

There was no room for anyone to stand in the living room inside the apartment at this time, and there was solidified crimson liquid everywhere.

In the center of the living room, Speaker Seaman, who was in his fifties, had no clothes on his body. He had a white towel tied to the back of his head stuffed in his mouth, his eyes were split open, and his face was ferocious.

In addition, "up and down" is not a verb but an adjective. Speaker Seaman is really centered around the waist, and physically it becomes two parts. The middle of the two parts is so messed up that it is impossible to describe it in words.

"Fu-k!"

“Son of better than eating!”

Seeing clearly the messy scene in the living room, Lacey's face was filled with shock, her expression instantly became extremely ugly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

Luo An was also slightly startled and cursed in a low voice.

This kind of scene was quite impactful to Luo An, mainly because the smell of blood was too strong and Luo An's sense of smell was relatively sensitive. He felt like he could hardly breathe in the living room.

Turning his head to look at Potente Bourne, Luo An finally understood why his face was so gloomy.

After exiting the living room of the apartment and making way for the Trace Inspection Section detectives who also had horrified expressions on their faces, Luo An, Lacey and Potente Byrne walked into the adjacent kitchen together and turned their attention to the sink that was already there. A middle-aged white man who was vomiting until he looked horribly pale.

The middle-aged white man named Aiden is Speaker Seaman’s secretary and the first person to discover the scene and call the police.

Potente-Byrne gave a brief explanation, left the apartment and walked outside to start dealing with the media.

Luo An and the two walked to Aiden and found that he could no longer vomit anything. Lacey handed him a glass of water, patted his shoulder, and whispered:

"Let's go out and talk."

The kitchen is not far from the living room. This kind of picture is still very impactful to ordinary people.

"Thanks, but no, I can do that."

Shakingly, Aiden took the water handed over by Lacey, thanked him, and then reluctantly shook his head to reject the offer.

Lacey was speechless as Aiden looked like a noodle, unable to hold himself up, but his mouth was still hard. Luo An was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly used physical means to take Aiden out of the apartment for special investigation. The group’s new SUV…

on the road next to it.

The main reason was that Luo An had a keen sense of smell, and he smelled a faint smell of urine on Aiden. The SUV was new after all, so it wouldn't be good if it got dirty.

The CIA's Wander is very fast. Before Luo An and Mona went to Washington, Wander sent three SUVs and some new weapons and equipment to the special investigation team.

Neither Luan nor Lacey meant to look down on Aiden. After all, the other person was an ordinary person. It was good that he didn't faint immediately after seeing such a scene.

"How did you know I fainted?"

Aiden raised his head in surprise and said that when he opened the apartment door and saw the scene in the living room, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

If his head hadn't been too painful to fall on the steps and woke him up, Aiden's call to the police might have been much later than it was now.

"..."x2

Lacey rolled her eyes, and Luo An stopped wasting time and asked directly:

"What is the specific situation between you and Speaker Seaman today? What have you experienced?"

"Speaker Seaman called me this morning and said he wasn't feeling well and needed to rest at home for a few hours."

Aiden took a deep breath and began to describe his experience today in detail:

“Speaker Seaman has always been in poor health, this kind of thing is normal, so I didn’t pay attention to it.

Just according to Speaker Seaman's wishes, the meeting and other matters were temporarily postponed until after three o'clock in the afternoon.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, I called Speaker Seaman again, but he never answered.

Considering the situation in the past when Speaker Seaman was still asleep after taking medicine, I drove here with the documents, and then..."

Luo An looked solemn when he heard this. Aiden had basically no useful clues. Seeing that Speaker Seaman’s family had not appeared at the scene for so long, Luo An asked again:

"What's the situation with Speaker Seaman's family?"

"Speaker Seaman has been separated from his wife for several years."

Aiden sighed after hearing this and explained:

“Speaker Seaman and his wife have gone through the divorce process secretly, but it has not been made public.

They have a daughter, who has been working outside the Federation and has only met with Speaker Seaman a handful of times. "

Luo An was silent for a few seconds and asked in a low voice:

"Does Speaker Seaman have any other women?"

The murderer's methods were so cruel, there was a high probability that there was hatred between him and Speaker Seaman, and love killing was also one of the possibilities.

"...There is indeed one."

Aiden was silent for a long time. He looked up at the reporters in the distance. Seeing that there were only Luo An and Lacey in the SUV, he lowered his voice and said:

"The woman's name is Corinna. She is 21 years old and a student at a university in Los Angeles."

"..."

Luo An and Lacey looked at each other and saw the inexplicable look in each other's eyes.

The two didn't say much. After Lacey asked for the general information about Corinna, a detective from the Trace Inspection Section came over.

The Trace Inspection Section agent's expression was very normal. Aiden was taken away by other agents. He said to Luo An and Lacey:

"We found that the victim's tongue was cut out. It was not found at the scene. He should have been taken away by the murderer."

"Any other discoveries?"

"Then we have to wait for the autopsy results."

"OK, thank you."

The Trace Inspection Section agent turned around and left, and Lacey immediately analyzed:

"Having your tongue cut out represents the fate of whistleblowers in many cases. Is it possible that this is also the case in Speaker Seaman's case?"

"maybe."

Luo An stood next to the SUV, folding his hands and looking at the brightly lit and noisy scene. After observing carefully for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and called Mona:

"Mona, have you found any clues through the surveillance in this community?"

"There are clues, but not complete clues."
