The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 531 Capsized in the gutter?

Because most women who have suffered misfortunes will wash their bodies immediately, wipe away "dirty" traces on their bodies, and even dispose of their clothes due to psychological reasons, which brings great trouble to the evidence collection work.

On the other hand, perhaps it is because of the bias of some police officers, or simply because there are too many similar cases. This type of case is like a bicycle being stolen in Seris. If it is not particularly important or "special" "Victims simply don't get enough attention.

Although it may be a bit strange to say this, for Luo Bi, it may be a blessing among misfortunes. She insisted on walking out of Central Park and appeared in public, in front of two FBI.

At the same time, although the social status of Luo Bin and her father is not at the top, it is still much higher than that of the ordinary middle class. This is why Dana Moger acquiesces to her two subordinates not doing their jobs properly.

Maybe this feels realistic, but it is reality.

Since there was no progress on Beckett's side, Jack and Hannah went directly to the CSI laboratory after leaving the federal building.

It was Hannah's first time here, and she looked around like a curious baby. The two of them walked around in the laboratory for a long time before they found Mike Taylor in a laboratory. He was working on a liquid chromatograph at the moment. Busy ahead.

Jack took two large white coats off the hangers and handed one to Hannah. After the two of them put it on, they walked into the laboratory.

"Welcome, thank you for the steak yesterday. It tasted very good." Mike Taylor, who saw the two of them, thanked them first and then said.

"But I'm afraid the news I have here will disappoint you. Something went wrong with the suspect's bodily fluids we extracted."

Jack and Hannah were both slightly startled. What else could go wrong?

"We were unable to extract enough DNA from the body fluids. The suspect suffered from a physiological disease and his tadpoles lacked genetic material.

In addition, I just ruled out the steakhouse guy as a suspect. This is what I found in the stains on Luo Bin's clothes. "

As he spoke, he placed a walnut on the table.

"Uh, you found walnuts in the stain?" Hannah's face was full of confusion.

"It's walnut powder. It's used to clean sculptures." Mike Taylor explained the uses of walnut powder to the two FBI.

Rainwater is usually weakly acidic and will corrode stone sculptures. Therefore, when cleaning these sculptures, weakly alkaline walnut powder is used to neutralize the acidity in rainwater.

"We didn't see any statues along the way yesterday, which means that the walnut powder was not contaminated by Luo Bin actively, but was transferred to her body when the suspect violated her." Jack understood what Mike Taylor meant.

"Yes, and I just found out that a team of workers cleaned the statues on the south side of the park yesterday. This is a major breakthrough." Mike Taylor showed a smile on his face.

Hannah showed a wry smile at the same time, "Then, if we find those cleaning workers, there is no DNA for comparison. There is no way."

Jack smiled and touched her with his shoulder, "Looking on the bright side, although we can't get evidence, we can at least eliminate some people's suspicions."

Leaving the laboratory, Jack and Hannah went to the hospital. CSI would be responsible for collecting body fluid samples from those workers, but even if they found a suspect who also suffered from azoospermia, they lacked enough evidence to take him to court. Now they can only Hoping to find some evidence from the victim.

However, today seemed destined to be a day of bad luck. The two met Stella in the hospital who also came here to get some clues, but judging from her face, it was obvious that they could not gain anything.

"As you guessed, Luo Bin got off work from the publishing house early yesterday in order to attend the reception on time. She went home, took a shower, put on a beautiful evening dress, and went out to call a taxi. But because There was a traffic jam, so she asked the taxi driver to get off the car near Central Park and wanted to go directly through the park to the other side, but she encountered misfortune.

But she refused to recall what happened after that, and given her current mental state, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Stella looked a little depressed. She sympathized with the girl's misfortune and was anxious about the lack of progress in the case. Hannah was not much better than her. Looking at the two kind-hearted girls with sad faces, Jack didn't know what to do. How to comfort them.

Just when they were about to leave the hospital together, Luo Bin's father stopped in front of the three of them. This poor middle-aged man had been standing outside the ward. When he saw the three of them, he couldn't help but have a look of begging in his eyes.

"She said she couldn't remember anything. Is this normal?"

"Considering that your daughter has been hit on the head, it is normal to have short-term memory loss, and the human body has many ways to protect itself, and blocking the memory of unfortunate encounters is one of them."

Jack tried to speak tactfully.

"Have you found the suspect?" Mr. Peacock asked eagerly.

"We are still investigating, the police will..." Stella was interrupted abruptly by the other party before she could finish her words.

"I don't want to hear these official answers." Then he seemed to subconsciously realize that there was something wrong with his attitude, his tone softened again, and he clasped his palms together and begged.

"Please, I'm her father and I don't want to know the details of the case through the media."

Jack looked around, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and came to a corner where no one would pass by. "First of all, please believe in the professionalism of the NYPD, at least believe in the professionalism of Detective Beckett and CSI who are doing their best to investigate, no. There will be people who will freely reveal details of the case to the media.

This is my guarantee as an FBI. Secondly, we have eliminated one suspect and the case is progressing. What you should do now is to stay with your daughter and help her get over the pain as soon as possible. "

Mr. Peacock stared at the three of them for a long time, his eyes gradually turned red, and finally he leaned weakly against the wall, slowly slumped to the ground, hiding his entire face in his hands, and his voice was filled with tears.

"I raised my daughter alone. In her mind, I have always been her omnipotent father, and I have always thought so. But now, I can't do anything. I can only watch. Hold her."

"I don't think so." Hannah, who had been silent at this time, knelt down and said seriously to the sad father, "Luo Bin is a strong girl. Stella and I did the test for her last night. of injury.

Your daughter almost died last night. She tried hard to resist. Her whole body was bruised and even her fingernails were worn flat. But in the end she got back on her feet and walked out of the park. I don’t know what kind of will kept her from walking to the reception. , but I know that her only thought at that time was to find you and see her father again. "

Jack reached out to lift the sad father up from the ground and helped him straighten his clothes, "Believe us, we will do our best to catch the murderer, and the only thing you have to do now is to stay with your daughter. "

On the third day, even worse news came from the CSI laboratory. The body fluids of the four cleaning workers were all normal, and the suspicions were eliminated.

Jack felt a little confused. The place was under surveillance but not under surveillance. There were no witnesses at the scene. All the suspects that could be found so far had been ruled out. Could it be that without the help of his BAU friends, he would have to be in such a small place? Stumbled on the case?
