Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 445: The situation outside the villa on the night of the incident, clues

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: The situation outside the villa on the night of the incident, clues

Las Vegas, a hotel suite living room.

"I found that the barbed wire at the southwest corner outside the duplex villa has been tampered with.

There are also traces of a car parked on the road outside the barbed wire."

Upon hearing Luo An’s query, Winslow stood up solemnly and handed out several photos to everyone, explaining:

"Based on my observations, I’m certain that two to three people infiltrated the villa area from this spot.

After the incident, they also covered up their footprints and the barbed wire, but traces cannot be completely eliminated."

Luo An lowered his head to look at the photos handed by Winslow, and also clearly saw the traces where people had passed.

"But... why?"

Reesi, holding the photo in her hand, shook it and asked with a puzzled face:

"Since the maid named Ao Na had already poisoned the people inside the villa, and she also committed suicide by taking poison, why would these people still break into the villa?"

Chenier was silent for a second and then shared her speculation:

"Could it be that these individuals wanted to search and take something from the villa?"

Winslow added:

"These people might also have infiltrated the villa to confirm whether the poison Ao Na used was effective.

Or to check if Ao Na got cold feet at the last minute and was too scared to administer the poison."

Michelle thought for a moment and also voiced her speculation:

"Is there a possibility that the one who poisoned everyone in the villa wasn’t the maid Ao Na, but these individuals who broke into the villa?

The maid Ao Na was just responsible for delivering the poison to those people."

"That’s all possible."

Luo An nodded, affirming everyone’s guesses. The key issue now is that there are no surveillance cameras inside the villa, everyone inside has left this world due to the poison, there are no witnesses, so the circumstances of the night can only be reasonably speculated.

Luo An was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at Mona and asked:

"Mona, regarding these individuals who infiltrated the villa, is there really no clue in the surveillance footage?"

"Currently, no."

Mona shook her head while typing on the keyboard, indicating that the perimeter wall’s surveillance of the villa was replaced on the night of the incident; she couldn’t identify who those who broke into the villa were.

Additionally, the area where the Audel family’s villa is located is large and has convenient transportation, but there are not many road surveillance cameras, and many roads are blind spots; Mona couldn’t find any suspect vehicles.

"However, it’s not all bad news."

Mona suddenly stopped her motions, turned her laptop around, and pointing at the screen, said:

"I calculated the distance from the barbed wire outside the villa wall, where vehicles can park, the interior of the duplex villa, and the patrol officers who reported lost signals on the night of the incident.

Coincidentally, the position of the duplex villa and a few patrol officers can form a circle.

And the road outside the wall is precisely at the center of this circle."

"That’s a beautiful coincidence."

Luo An chuckled and started affixing gathered clues and photos onto a whiteboard, summarizing as he did:

"So, on the night after the party ended, during the third hour, someone replaced the surveillance of the villa’s perimeter wall using computer means.

Next, a car stopped at the southwest corner of the villa wall, and two to three individuals got out, severed the barbed wire, blocked signal in this area making it impossible to connect to the outside world, and then sneaked into the villa.

Inside the villa, we currently can’t ascertain who exactly and by what means the poison was administered, though the maid Ao Na is the prime suspect.

Everyone died from poisoning, and these two to three individuals who infiltrated the villa probably did something else. After completing their task, they left the area along the position of the barbed wire, drove off, and vanished without a trace."

After listening to Luo An’s analysis, members of the Special Investigation Team nodded in agreement, and Reesi thought for a moment, stood up, and asked:

"What do we do next?"

Luo An drew a big circle around the photo of the wire mesh:

"The most important thing is to figure out the identities of the two or three people that infiltrated the villa."

Just as Reesi was about to continue speaking, Luo An suddenly paused, turned his head sharply towards Chenier and Mona, and asked in a deep voice:

"What’s the name of the maid who swapped shifts with Ao Na that night? Where is she now?"

"That maid is named Belinda, 40 years old, with a son in middle school.

Belinda is mainly in charge of the logistic area, which is why I suspect Ao Na, who swapped shifts with her, is the person who poisoned."

Chenier promptly described Belinda’s identity, and as for her current whereabouts, Chenier turned to look at Mona. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Mona’s fingers swiftly danced on the keyboard, then suddenly furrowed her brow:

"Everyone, ever since the night of the incident, after Belinda took leave and went home, there is no new travel or spending records available for her.

Additionally, her son also stopped going to school the next day, and both are currently missing."

"Fu-k!"

Upon hearing this, Reesi’s face changed, cursing out loud, while Luo An didn’t waste words, directly stating:

"Mona, you stay here and use computer means to see if you can find any identity information on those people. Chenier, assist Mona.

But before that, you two first check Belinda and her son’s last spending and call records before they went missing, see if you can find any useful clues.

Michelle, you hurry and figure out the situation with that notebook.

Winslow, Reesi, you come with me, and we’ll head to Belinda’s home immediately!"

"Understood!"

The agents robustly affirmed and immediately set about their respective tasks.

——

A Dodge car sped along the roads of Las Vegas, Winslow sat in the back checking equipment, Reesi seated in the passenger seat, on the phone with Mona.

"Belinda and her son’s place has few road cameras, and they don’t have surveillance cameras installed at home.

I checked for missing and kidnapping case records in that area, and didn’t find anything unusual."

Mona quickly spoke on the other end of the phone:

"Following Luo An’s instructions, I checked the call records of the mother and son.

The records show that it was her son who called her on the night Belinda took sudden leave.

The content of the conversation is unavailable, but from her son’s call to Belinda leaving the villa, the whole process took less than three minutes.

In a few monitored roads with cameras, it can be seen that Belinda was driving in a rather anxious manner."

After finishing, Mona hung up the phone, Reesi tilted her head towards Luo An, who was driving, and speculated:

"So, someone might have kidnapped Belinda’s son that night, used him to threaten Belinda to take sudden leave from the villa, allowing Ao Na, who had been waiting, to take her place."

Luo An neither confirmed nor denied, and the car soon arrived at the residence of Belinda and her son, situated in a regular apartment building on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

At the entrance of a room on the third floor, Luo An, Winslow, and Reesi positioned themselves on either side, counted down from three, and simultaneously burst into the room.

There were no bodies inside as imagined, nor trace of abduction demands, not even signs of struggle, only normal cozy decorations and unattended kitchen waste.

Reesi picked up a pillow to check, saw nothing unusual, and shrugged at Winslow:

"It seems the situation is not quite what I imagined."

Had it not been for Mona verifying through road surveillance that Belinda had returned to this community, and they also saw Belinda’s car downstairs, Reesi would have doubted that Belinda never made it home before disappearing.

"Reesi, Winslow, over here."

Before Winslow could respond, Luo An’s voice suddenly came from the bedroom:

"I’ve found something."
