The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 519 First visit to CSI New York Laboratory

Just listen to it like a paradise. The real reason is that the several communities near here are basically dominated by middle-class and above white families, and there are many powerful people among them.

For example, in the remote woods where Jack is now, you should not expect a half-band signal on your mobile phone under normal circumstances, but now the signal is full. There is no need to think about the reason.

Jack called Jubal Valentine. He looked a little excited on the other side of the phone. It was obvious that the free days after the end of the last case had suffocated him.

"We have confirmed the identity of the girl, whose fingerprint information matches a long-term tourist visa, named Hailey Nureyev, 22 years old, a citizen of Ukraine.

The immigration information shows that she flew from Kiev to JFK International Airport the year before last. I sent you the photo. "

Jack directly chose to release it, then clicked on the mailbox and found the photo sent by Jubal, "This girl doesn't look like a Ukrainian."

There is not much difference between Ukrainians and Russians. Their facial features are softer than those of Europeans and Americans. Most girls have short, round faces, small chins, and straight noses. The tip of their nose looks like a small ball.

Therefore, netizens in the previous life of Seris always had a stereotype. It seemed that the quality of Maomei was a higher level than that of Europe and the United States. The reason was that Maomei was more in line with Asian aesthetics.

"Hailey's mother is an American, from northern California. She studied abroad in the late 90s and fell in love with a Ukrainian. Then she went to Ukraine and settled there until she died of illness a few years ago."

Jubal Valentine spoke intermittently, and there was the sound of flipping papers. It must be that someone was constantly adding information to him that he had just collected.

Hannah poked her head from the side and asked, "So what did Hailey do in New York? To seek refuge with her relatives?"

"It's unclear. It seems like she has no relatives in the United States. Her mother is an only child and her grandparents have passed away long ago. The address shown on the visa is the Sutton Suites Hotel, but we just asked the hotel and couldn't find her check-in information."

"Model or call girl?" Jack had roughly guessed the girl's true situation.

"I prefer the latter, but of course it could be both." Jubal Valentine said bluntly.

At this time, Mike Taylor waved to the two of them, "Hey Jack, I'm about to go back to the laboratory. Our forensics has made preliminary conclusions. Do you want to come with me?"

Jack subconsciously glanced at the time. It was just after noon, and CSI's forensic efficiency was somewhat outrageous. He responded quickly, said hello to Dana Moger, and left with Hannah first.

Following Mike Taylor's car to the CSI laboratory, the equipment here once again opened Jack's eyes. He thought that the CSI laboratory in Las Vegas was already sophisticated enough, but it turned out that the laboratory in New York was not comparable to it. Inferior, seems to be more than enough.

He saw more than a dozen high-end mass spectrometers with different functions and models, and even more instruments that were unrecognizable but worth a lot of money at a glance.

Mike Taylor came to the forensic laboratory located in the basement. A handsome black forensic doctor with obvious mixed-race features was busy in front of the autopsy table.

"Dr. Hawk, thank you for your hard work." Mike Taylor introduced the two parties to each other. This black forensic doctor is named Sheldon Hawk. He is in his early thirties, has a beard, and has a gentle and gentle temperament that is rare for African Americans. .

“I compared the most skeletal and the least decomposed bodies of two victims who had been killed over the past three years, with the most recent victim dying a month ago.

The common feature among them is that each of them has been stabbed at least thirty times, and the murder weapon was a five-inch long dagger-shaped blade with a serrated side.

I also found a small piece of peeled skin above their left breast, similar in size. "

As he spoke, he lifted up the white cloth covering a corpse. This should be the corpse that he said had the latest death time.

In early spring in New York, especially along the northern bay coast of Long Island, although the humidity is high, the temperature has been very low. Although the smell of corpses is pungent, the corruption is not very serious, at least not to the level of giant view. Perhaps this It is also related to the fact that the body has been buried underground. “And I found that the deceased all showed the professional characteristics of sex workers.”

"Are there any traces of sexually transmitted diseases?" Hannah asked.

Dr. Hawke nodded and added, "Their health conditions are very poor, almost everyone has had a history of abortion, and the cosmetics they use are also very cheap."

"God, the information says most of them are under 20 years old." Hannah had not shown any discomfort due to the severe body odor before, but now she covered her mouth in shock.

"Serial killers do tend to target selective workers because they are easily isolated and are not easily detected even if they go missing."

Jack is considering whether to ask the BAU for help. Judging from the situation at the scene, it may take a long time for CSI to find enough evidence to advance the investigation of the case, and this case does show obvious characteristics of a serial killer.

At this time, Mike Taylor seemed to have discovered something, "What is this? Like some kind of mark?" He was referring to the wound position exposed after the skin on the deceased's chest was peeled off. Under the blackened yellow fat particles, there were dark red muscles. There appears to be some pattern residue on the tissue.

"Good eyesight." Dr. Hawke put on rubber gloves and flattened the wound as much as possible, "I have recorded it in the autopsy report before. It seems that the murderer deliberately removed a mark.

But unlike a tattoo, because tattoos usually only penetrate the ink into the dermal tissue, this mark has penetrated deep into the dermis and even left traces on the muscle tissue. "

"Could it be a brand?" As soon as Jack said this, he rejected this speculation himself, "No, even if it is a brand, it can't be that deep."

Mike Taylor frowned and revealed the answer, "If it was scratched with a hot blade, it would be like this. I once handled some human trafficking cases in Eastern Europe. Some Eastern European gangs would use similar marks on their slaves." The method leaves a mark.”

The scene fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Jack continued, "Is there any hope of reproducing the original pattern?"

Dr. Hawke shook his head, "The entire skin has been cut off, and the body has decomposed, and the remaining parts are not enough to show a complete pattern.

My advice is, take a chance on that survivor. "

As soon as he thought of it, Jack called Jubal directly and explained the current findings. Soon, Jubal gave him a affirmative answer after contacting the hospital.

"Hailey is out of danger and has regained consciousness, but she will have surgery later. If you act quickly enough, you can have a short visit during this period."

Jack and Hannah turned to leave, but were stopped by Dr. Hawke, "One more thing, I found that one of the girls had a prosthetic implant, uh, breast augmentation, but the material used was very rare, polypropylene Vinylamine.”

"Hasn't this material been eliminated a long time ago? You said that these deceased people were basically under 20 years old, but prostheses made of polypropylene amine were replaced by safer materials in the 90s."

Jack was a little confused. Although his forensic skills were enhanced by the system, there was still a big gap between his knowledge reserve and that of a real forensic doctor. However, he was constantly learning on a daily basis, and this happened to be within his current knowledge category.

"As far as I know, this cheap material is only still used in Eastern European countries," Dr. Hoch said.

Jack and Hannah said goodbye and left the CSI laboratory, and rushed directly to New York's Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital with the siren on. This hospital located in Manhattan is not only New York City, but also one of the largest and best general hospitals in the United States. one.
