Chapter 278 Roots(1/3)

 The next morning.

Detective Bureau.

Office of the Deputy Director.

Rhett sat at his desk, looking down at the documents in his hand, with a serious expression on his face.

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Rhett took off his glasses and said, "Come in."

Luke opened the door and walked in, "Director, you are looking for me."

"Sit down." Rhett pointed to the chair opposite, "How is the case of the headless female corpse going? Is there any progress?"

"Petrov has been unwilling to cooperate, so we can only start the investigation from other directions. By investigating the communication records of the headless female corpse, we found her last contact before her death, but the other party refused to cooperate. I am preparing to apply for a search

make."

"Red pinched his forehead, what's that person's name?"

"Eddie Ross is a rich man. According to himself, he attended a party on the night of the incident, and there were city councilors and judges at the party.

But he has no alibi." Luke pointedly pointed out.

"You want a search warrant on him?"

"Yes, he did not admit that he was the owner of the mobile phone card. He claimed that the mobile phone card was picked up yesterday. He also refused to cooperate with the police investigation and was unwilling to hand over the mobile phone card."

Rhett nodded, "You don't need to apply for a search warrant."

"Why?" Luke was a little surprised. Could it be that Eddie Ross was so awesome that he affected Red so quickly?

Is this guy so energetic?

"His home is now a crime scene, so there is no need for a search warrant."

"What's up with him?"

"He was attacked, detained, and abused at home, and has been sent to Marshall Hospital for treatment."

"Is it life-threatening?"

"No, but it is said that the injury was quite serious." Rhett sighed softly, "Three days after the incident, the suspect committed three crimes in a row, and the motive for the crime has not been figured out yet.

He may commit crimes next, and the situation is very serious.

Luke, you have to hurry up!"

"I know, and I will solve the case as soon as possible." Luke felt pressure for the first time.

In the past, we have also encountered cases where cases were unable to be solved, but at that time, Susan was on top and Luke was only responsible for investigating the case, so there was not much pressure.

But now Luke is the first person in charge of the case, and the responsibility falls on him.



Back in the office, Luke called a meeting with everyone and told them about Eddie Ross being attacked at home.

Jenny said, “Yesterday we found him through mobile phone location, but he was unwilling to assist in the investigation and threatened us verbally.

We could only go back to the police station to investigate his information. By the time we confirmed his identity, it was already too late and we could no longer apply for a search warrant.

We can only wait until today to apply for a search warrant."

The gangster said, "This is not your fault, it is this guy's own problem. If he had actively assisted the police in the investigation, he probably would not have been attacked.

Just like Petrov, no one could have imagined that this would happen."

The deputy team leader said, "Captain, how about I go to the hospital and make a new transcript for him."

Luke thought for a while, "Deputy team, you take people to his house to investigate, and I'll go see him."

"OK, you are the captain."

After the meeting, one squadron divided into two groups for action.

Luke and Blackie rush to Marshall Hospital.

Luke sat in the co-pilot with his eyes closed and meditating. This was the first case he had taken on since he was promoted to captain, and it was very difficult.

Three days, three victims.

Moreover, the two new victims are both involved in the case and have had previous contact with the police.

This made Luke feel very passive, and he was also reflecting on whether there was something wrong with his investigation method?

Rarely, Xiao Hei didn't say anything along the way, allowing Luke to be quiet for a while.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Marshall Hospital and parked their car in the parking lot.

Luke first found Eddie Rose's doctor, a white female doctor in her forties.

"Hello, I am Eddie Rose's doctor, Kanat."

"Hello, Doctor Kanat.

I'm Detective Marcus from the Robbery and Murder Division, and this is our Captain Li."

Kanat reached out her hand and said, "Captain Li, we contacted you on the phone. I didn't expect you to be so young."

Luke shook hands with the other person and said politely, "Nice to meet you, Doctor Kanat.

How is Eddie Rose doing now?"

"Well...we have treated him, and he can only rely on himself to recover from the rest."

"Are his injuries serious?"

"How should I put it? I think it may be more of a psychological injury.

The area where he was injured is relatively sensitive."

Xiao Hei is more keen on certain aspects, pointing downwards, "Is that my younger brother?"

Doctor Kanat nodded, "Wow, your metaphor is very vivid."

"Damn it! This suspect is really perverted, can he still be picked up?"

Dr. Kanat shrugged, "It was already too late when it was delivered."

Xiao Hei sighed, "What a pitiful guy."

Luke asked, "We want to take a transcript of him. Is his current physical condition allowed?"

"There is nothing wrong with his body, but his mental state may be a little worse. He is now very sensitive to external stimulation and may not be willing to see you."

"Please tell him that if he doesn't see us, he may miss the best opportunity to arrest the suspect."

"OK, I will convey it." Dr. Kanat turned and left.

Xiao Hei came over and whispered, "That suspect is getting more and more perverted. When I think about what happened to Eddie Ross, I feel a little cold in my lower body.

Eddie Ross must be desperate to death right now."

Luke didn't answer. He was thinking about the way the suspect committed the crime. Each victim had a part of their body cut off, but the parts cut off were different for each person. What's the meaning behind this?

Eddie Ross was probably a prostitute, and his lower body was cut off by the suspect, leaving him useless.

Petrov was a gangster who had his thumbs and toes amputated by a suspect.

The first female victim, Novena Jones, was a silver-selling woman who relied on her face to make a living, and her entire head was cut off.

Based on the above analysis, the suspect's way of hurting people is more like targeted revenge.

Will there be another one?

If so, who would it be?

Doctor Kanat came over and said, "Captain Li, Eddie Ross agrees to see you."

"Thanks."

Under the leadership of Kanat, Luke and Xiao Hei arrived outside Eddie Rose's ward.

"Dong dong..." Xiao Hei knocked on the door.

No one responded.

The two of them pushed the door open and walked in.

This is a luxurious single room with a separate bathroom, TV, nursing bed, lockers, a water dispenser and a small refrigerator.

Xiao Hei glanced around, "The environment here is almost as good as a hotel."

There was a white man lying on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in a bandage, and his eyes were staring at the top of the bed.

Xiao Hei showed his police badge, "I am Detective Marcus of the Robbery and Murder Division, and this is Captain Li.

Eddie Ross, we want to talk to you about the attack."

Eddie Ross looked at Luke and then at Xiao Hei, "Are the Mexican police officers and policewomen from yesterday also yours?"
