Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Leymon, when did you change your profession to become a forensic doctor?"

The body was burned, black from smoke, and there were many scars on the body. Coupled with the tragic crash scene, it was difficult to determine the specific cause of death at first.

Raymond walked to the corpse and pointed to the wound on the chest, "The deceased had an irregular wound of two to three centimeters on the chest. If I guessed correctly, his chest suffered greater damage, and the wound on the back would be even greater.

He must have suffered a penetrating injury from a large-caliber bullet."

Jackson concluded, "In other words, the driver was shot by a large-caliber bullet, and then the car lost control and veered into the opposite lane, causing a larger traffic accident."

Raymond didn't answer, put on his gloves, walked to the burned car, carefully searched the back seat of the cab, and picked up a bullet from the back seat of the car.

"It's a 7.62mm rifle bullet. The effective killing range is about 800 meters." Raymond glanced around and pointed at a building to the south. "If I were a gunman, I would choose to use a sniper rifle to shoot there, from the commanding heights.

The view is good and it is easy to escape.”

Raymond is proficient in firearms and spends most of his time at the shooting range. Luke still trusts his analysis.

Then, Luke began to arrange tasks, "Marcus, take notes on the surrounding pedestrians and ask about the circumstances of the accident.

Porter, check the tachographs of several accident cars to find the video of the crash.

Jackson, contacted the hospital to inquire about the conditions of several injured people.

Raymond, Jenny, you are responsible for searching for traces of the gunman."

Luke searched the car and found the driver's license of the suspected deceased.

Name, Bart Ramos

Sex: Male

Height, 183cm

Weight, 160 pounds

hair color, yellow

Date of birth, March 16, 1982

License plate number, 3lKb548

Luke compared the physical features of the deceased. There were burns on the deceased's body, but the burns were not serious. His face was blackened, but his appearance was not affected.

The facial features, height, hair color, and body shape all match, and the identity of the deceased can basically be determined.

Forensic and investigation teams also rushed to the scene.

The three badly crashed cars were all on fire, and the scene was in a mess. The bloody bullet was also found by Raymond. It was difficult for the survey team to find valuable clues for a while.

The forensic doctor discovered something. Just as Raymond guessed, the deceased was indeed hit by a bullet in the chest, causing damage to his internal organs and death from excessive blood loss.

Luke gathers his team members to compile clues.

Passers-by's description was the same as that of the previous patrol. They only saw the vehicle involved in the accident losing control and rushing into the other lane and colliding with other vehicles.

But no one saw any shots being fired, and no one heard the shots.

In addition, the vehicle involved in the accident did not have a driving recorder. The driving recorders of other vehicles captured the scene of the collision. One of the vehicles captured the scene with its windshield broken when the vehicle involved in the accident rushed into the opposite lane. This is consistent with the fact that the driver was shot first and then

The theory of a crash is consistent.

After summarizing all the clues, Luke was more inclined to Raymond's speculation. Since no one around him heard the gunfire, it meant that the gunman was far away, and there were cars in front of and around the vehicle causing the accident. It was impossible for the gunman to shoot in parallel.

, you can only shoot from a high place.

Luke glanced around and saw that the building Raymond mentioned before was indeed the most suitable shooting location.

Marcus and Jackson stayed at the crime scene, while Luke took Porter and the patrolmen to the south side building to meet Raymond to find the shooting location of the gunman.

If the gunman shot from a long distance, it means that the gunman should not have been to the scene. Except for the bullet, it is difficult to find clues about the gunman at the accident scene.

The shooting location where the gunman was located will have more traces of the gunman, and that is the real 'murder scene'.

Pattu Apartments.

This is a seven-story apartment building.

Luke took the elevator up to the sixth floor to meet Raymond and others.

"Raymond, have you found anything?"

"Captain, come here." Raymond led Luke to the corridor window and pointed to the north road, "You can just see the scene of the car collision from here.

The view below the fifth floor will be blocked, so the gunman should be shooting from the sixth or seventh floor.

I took people to check the windows of the corridors on the sixth and seventh floors, and found no traces of gunfire.

From my experience, the vehicle involved in the accident was traveling at a high speed, making it very difficult to shoot, and the requirements for the shooting environment and the shooter were very high.

This gunman is likely to be a professional killer. He is unlikely to choose the corridor as a shooting location and should be looking for a safer and quieter environment."

Luke guessed, "You suspect the shooter shot in the apartment room?"

"Yes, Jenny has already led the patrol officers on a routine search of the apartment building. She is responsible for the seventh floor, and I am responsible for the sixth floor."

"Very good." Luke thought for a while and said, "Potter, take someone to find the apartment building's property and check the surveillance video of the apartment building to see if there are any suspicious persons who may be suspected of being the shooter.

I'll go to the seventh floor to take a look."

"yes, sir."

…

The seventh floor of Pattu Apartment.

In addition to Jenny, there are three patrol policemen. Among them, one patrol policeman investigates with Jenny, and the other two patrol policemen are responsible for guarding.

"Dong dong."

Jenny knocked on the door of apartment 703.

A woman's voice sounded from inside the door, "Who are you?"

Jenny showed her police badge, "I'm a Los Angeles police officer."

The apartment door opened, and a black woman in her sixties asked, "What's the matter?"

"Ma'am, we are investigating a shooting incident? The gunman is probably lurking in the apartment and wants to confirm the safety of the apartment residents."

"Thank you, I am fine."

"Ma'am, around nine o'clock in the morning, did you hear any unusual noises?"

"I am also not certain……"

"Just tell us what you heard and we will make our own judgment."

"I thought I heard the sound of arguing and throwing things."

"Are you sure it was the sound of something being thrown and not the sound of gunshots?"

"It shouldn't be a gunshot, it's not that loud."

"The shooter likely had a silencer installed."

"Then I'm not sure. I don't know much about firearms."

Jenny wanted to confirm if it was a gunshot and asked, "Do you know where the sound came from?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and pointed to the apartment door of 707, "It seems like that apartment, I'm not sure."

"Do you know that family?"

"Uh... I just moved here, so I'm not very familiar with it. I only know that there is a man and a woman living there, both of whom are white."

"Thank you, we will confirm it ourselves."

"I don't want to cause trouble, don't say it was me who said it." After the woman finished speaking, she closed the door.

Jenny wrote down in her notebook and was about to investigate the situation of 707 when she saw the elevator door opened and Luke walked out, "Captain, you're here."

"Anything found?"

"Residents reported that there were sounds of quarreling and throwing things in 707. I am preparing to confirm the situation."

"You continue." Luke stood aside and warned. It was easier for a female police officer to call the door.

"Dong dong." Jenny walked to the door of 707 and knocked on the door.

There was no response from the door.

"Dong dong." Jenny continued to knock on the door.

"Whoever is outside, stop knocking on that damn door." A man shouted from inside the room.

Jenny shouted, "Los Angeles Police, open the door!"

After a while, the door opened a crack.

A white woman stood in the crack of the door, only half of her face showing, "What's the matter?"

Jenny showed her police badge and said, "Ma'am, please open the door and stand outside."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened the door and walked outside. The sleeves of her coat were torn and there was a slap mark on her face.
