The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 380 Mystery on the Beach ([-])

This is the first time that everyone sits down in the conference room, waiting for Jiejie to arrive. She usually organizes and copies the information and carefully divides it into folders, and then calls everyone together.

Soon, the hurried sound of high heels came from far away, and Jie Jie quickly walked into the conference room. First she gave everyone an embarrassed and stiff smile, and then she glared viciously at the person who had caused her such embarrassment.

After sending the copied information to everyone, turning on the projector, several photos of the crime scene appeared on the screen, and Jiejie began to introduce the case.

"At 11 o'clock last night, a group of young people gathered for a party on a beach in South Bay that had not yet been officially opened. One of the young couples discovered three bodies in a newly built lifeguard tower.

The deceased were aged between 25 and 40 years old. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. The time of death ranged from two months to two weeks. It is worth noting that two of the bodies were wrapped in plastic film. "

"Is it for practical purposes or does it have some symbolic meaning? To prevent blood from flowing everywhere?" Emily asked.

Rhett answered, "Or out of remorse, wrapping the body usually symbolizes the murderer's guilt."

"So why didn't you wrap up the third body?" Jack turned the pen in his hand awkwardly. He was always puzzled. He could obviously turn the kitchen knife in his hand, but why he couldn't do it with a light pen.

"Perhaps the deceased had some special meaning to the murderer, so he deliberately did not wrap the body, or perhaps some accident occurred and he had no time to do so." Rossi said slowly.

Hotchner turned over the information in his hand and frowned, "Have the identities of the three deceased persons not been identified yet?"

Garcia, who rarely appeared in the conference room and participated in the discussion of the case with everyone, quickly raised his hand, "The Praiaderi Police Department is limited in size, and what they usually deal with the most are petty thefts and drunken tourists.

These three corpses frightened them so much that they are now checking vacant or abandoned watchtowers and lifeguard towers near the beach overnight. "

"I have just urged the local medical examiner's office to send the collected fingerprints over as a priority. My computer is already executing the facial recognition program. I hope there will be results when you get there."

"Jiejie, contact the state police and ask them to arrange for police from other areas to provide support. If the murderer is really a serial killer, then they will probably be busy." Hotchner ordered.

"Well, there's another question. According to the forensic medical examiner's preliminary examination report, the three deceased people all lost their vital organs." Reid reminded.

Rossi took the report in his hand and said thoughtfully, "Maybe the murderer is trying to hide the evidence of the crime or keep it for collection."

"Uh" Jack's mind quickly turned over countless case materials he had read, and then he asked tentatively, "You mean, a homosexual killer like Jeffrey Dahmer?"

Jeffrey Dahmer, nicknamed the "Milwaukee Ghoul," was born in Milwaukee. According to records, he murdered at least 1978 young men, including boys, from 1991 to 17.

He is the most notorious homosexual killer in the history of the Confederacy, whose crimes include killing corpses, cannibalizing corpses, and punching holes in the heads of his victims while they are still alive, and then
His confession material ranks at least in the top five disgusting levels among all the serial killer materials Jack has seen, and collecting body parts of victims is probably the least important of them.

"Perhaps, the report said that the murderer performed the castration after the victim's death, which shows that his purpose was not to torture the victim." As the report was circulated among the people, ideas gradually opened up.

Emily flipped through the thin report and continued to elaborate on her thoughts, "And the cause of death was a single shot to the head, very efficient."

"But killing quickly is neither emotional nor exciting, right?" Jiejie said.Rhett nodded, "But castration has a strong emotional overtone. Maybe he is incompetent and lacks ability, so he destroys the corpse to vent his anger."

"Or maybe there are other reasons. This case reminds me of the 'Butcher of the Bay' that appeared in Miami last year. I have always been somewhat doubtful about the motive of the murderer judged by the bureau." Rossi handed the information he had read to Huo China.

Jack's eyelids twitched. Miami and "Butcher of the Bay," didn't these two words point to the "bloodthirsty forensic doctor" Dexter Morgan?

He still remembered that when he first joined the LAPD, he looked up the name Dexter Morgan. He was indeed a bloodstain analyst for the Miami Police Department, but he didn't pay much attention to it after that. Could this guy have been exposed?
Jack had wanted to find a chance to get to know this guy, a serial killer who lived in Miami and specialized in killing serial killers.

Although this man had killed a lot of people and his methods were a bit cruel, he didn't seem to have any innocent souls on his hands, they were all damned scum.

Jack had also thought that if one day there was a bad guy who was inconvenient to deal with but he really couldn't stand, he could pass it on to this person and treat it as a business introduction.

For example, Marla Grayson lives by sucking the flesh and blood of the elderly.

He secretly made a note in his mind that he would look into the "Butcher of the Bay" case when he had time. At this time, everyone ended the discussion for the time being, packed up and prepared to go.

Due to road conditions, it took two Saber buses nearly 2 hours to get from Los Angeles to South Bay.

Walking into the small local police station, it was indeed a scene of people tumbling on their backs. Everyone was in a hurry. There were only a few police officers sitting in front of computers, and their phones kept ringing.

"Sorry, we just prepared a conference room for you, we are really busy." A young-looking police chief greeted everyone.

"Uh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Quinn Parker. I'm in charge of this case. We just found another body in the lifeguard tower in Manhattan Beach."

Everyone in BAU shook hands with him one by one, briefly introduced themselves, and followed him into a neatly tidied conference room.

The LCD screen on the wall has been turned on, showing the latest progress of the case, with photos of the four corpses appearing on it.

Sheriff Quinn Parker stood in front of the screen and introduced everyone.

"We just finished checking all the lifeguard towers on Nanwan Beach overnight. This body appeared later. The forensic doctor judged from the liver temperature that the death time was less than ten hours."

Hotchner nodded, "The murderer knew that the previous dumping place was exposed and moved to another place. I suggest you increase the patrol time to once an hour and fine-tune the route.

The murderer is most likely a local and familiar with the situation around the beach. He may be observing the progress of our investigation in the dark and adjusting his crime methods. "

The young police chief looked troubled, and Jiejie had already guessed what he wanted to say, "We have coordinated with the state police to dispatch units for reinforcements, and they should be in place soon."
