Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 72: Undercover! (Seeking Follow-up! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Hmm?"
Reid's loud voice startled everyone in the investigation team number five, and Luo An furrowed his brows, inquiring:
"Father from the church? Or Susan's husband, Jono?"
"No, not them."
Reid, holding two large sketches, walked up to Luo An's desk and pulled them apart.
Luo An looked down and saw a somewhat strange yet familiar face sketch before his eyes.
"This is..."
Looking at the sketch in front of him, Luo An fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up, eyes fixed on Reid:
"DEA Agent Maren?"
"Exactly, it's him!"
Reid nodded. He didn't know Agent Maren's name, but he knew that he was one of the agents who had come to see Luo An that day, and he was also from the DEA.
Hearing Luo An's words, other agents who crowded around also recalled the incident of Augustus bringing two agents to Luo An that day, and they immediately began to frown.
Mona flipped over the sketch, looking at the face on it with a grave expression:
"A DEA agent is the serial killer?"
Thinking of the way Agent Maren looked at her that day, Luo An admitted that the feeling he got from the man was not comfortable.
But to say that he was a serial killer, Luo An subconsciously felt that something was not quite right.
"No, it's not him."
Hearing Mona's words, Reid shook his head, lifted the sketch of Agent Maren, and pulled out another sketch from underneath, placing it on top of Maren's sketch with a smack:
"Agent Maren was one of the two persons the Scavenger witnessed.
This man, he is the one that Louise mentions who stuffed Susan into the car, and whom the Scavenger saw standing at the corner outside Little Saint Phil Church."
Seeing the second sketch, which showed a man with profound features, mature-looking, and a small notch on his right eyebrow, Luo An frowned slightly. Before he could speak, William next to him suddenly narrowed his pupils and cursed out loud:
"Shit! Damn it! It's him!"
"Hmm?"
Luo An turned to look at William, who quickly returned to his desk, typing rapidly on the keyboard. Moments later, a case report appeared on the computer screen.
"Luo An, when you asked Mona to investigate criminals living near Little Saint Phil Church who had been jailed for rape, stalking, molestation, and other crimes, I helped Mona with the research for a while and found this botched case.
Because he was not incarcerated and the event occurred a year ago, I did not record it."

Luo An directed his gaze toward the computer screen, and William explained:
"A year and a half ago, this white man named Sean was arrested by the police for rape and murder.
However, the New Jersey police only had one witness's testimony, and Sean's DNA was not detected on the victim's body, plus the crime scene was washed away by rain, leaving no traces.
Furthermore, with witnesses asserting that Sean was definitely not at the crime scene when the incident occurred, Sean was eventually exonerated."
"What?"
Hearing this case, Reid, Mona, and the other agents were surprised, but Luo An stroked his chin and remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked:
"If I'm not mistaken, this witness who testified for Sean was Agent Maren, right?"
"Yeah."
William nodded.
In the Western legal system, it is very common for police to testify in court, and often, the testimony of the police can become one of the key pieces of evidence during a trial.
"Agent Maren provided false testimony?"
After reading the case report and combining it with the serial murder case currently being investigated by team number five, the idea that Agent Maren gave false testimony instantly crossed the minds of the agents.
But... they had no evidence.
Thinking of the fact that Maren was from the DEA, and of her earlier attempts to recruit her into undercover work, Luo An suddenly realized something:
"Sean is probably an undercover agent working under Maren."
With a clap of his hand, Luo An drew everyone's attention and spoke gravely:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we now have a suspect. By retracing clues through the suspect, things will always be much easier.
Please immediately investigate this Sean's background and look for connections between him and the four victims of the serial killings! Then, try to find key evidence!"
At this critical moment, it was time for the technical team of Unit Five to show their abilities.
"OK!"
"No problem!"
Upon hearing Luo An's order, William and the other four technicians immediately agreed and turned to search for Sean's personal files in the FBI's database.
"Red."
Luo An turned his head and directed his gaze towards Red, speaking solemnly:
"Head to the forensic doctor now, and make sure you get the autopsy report as soon as possible."
If Susan's body showed traces of Sean's DNA, their Unit Five could immediately file for an arrest warrant.
"Understood."
Red nodded emphatically, threw the sketch on Luo An's desk, and turned to leave once more.
Watching Red's silhouette vanish quickly, Luo An nodded to himself and shifted his gaze to Mona, about to ask her if she could sneak into the Drug Enforcement Bureau's information database, but Mona interrupted him:
"I have already successfully penetrated the network of the Drug Enforcement Bureau."
Luo An: "?"
The clatter of keyboard keys rang out, and soon, an icon that read "File Downloading" appeared on Mona's computer.
Seeing the rapidly progressing download bar on the computer, Luo An inwardly cursed the lousy speed of a certain file-sharing service from his past life.
Just then, an exclamation mark suddenly appeared on Mona's computer, Luo An's eyelids twitched, and Mona's lips turned up in a disdainful smile while her fingers rapidly typed to ensure the download speed did not slow.
Time flew by, and at the moment "File Download Complete" flashed on the computer screen, Mona abruptly stood up and yanked the network cable out from the back of the computer.
Luo An: "..."
That was slick.
"OK."
Mona sat back down, let out a long sigh of relief, and pointed at the computer screen, saying:
"Here is the undercover file on Sean that was in Agent Maren's hands at the DEA."
Luo An's eyes sparkled at the news, "Thank you for the hard work, Mona!"
Mona stretched herself and waved her hand nonchalantly, "It wasn't hard. If someone from the Drug Enforcement Bureau comes asking, just cover for me."
Luo An: "..."
Don't panic, it was Augustus's turn to demonstrate his skills now.
It had been mentioned earlier that the technical staff of Unit Five were all veterans who had worked in the FBI's data room for a long time, capable of finding information extremely quickly.
In just a few minutes, Sean's life record from birth till now had been thoroughly searched.
"Sean Davis, 41 years old this year, Social Security number is ***, a resident of the Harwood area, with a recorded marriage that took place three and a half years ago at the Little Saint Phil Church."
William sat on his chair and read with a stern expression:
"His wife, Lina, disappeared on her way home one evening, three months after their wedding. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that she was kidnapped by a local gang."
Luo An walked to the front of the conference room, pulled over a whiteboard, gesturing for his teammates to continue, while he began writing on the board.
