Chapter 247: Lock on Aubrey
Ross was sitting in the meeting seat and looked at Anthony solemnly. “How’s the investigation going on your side?”
“The murderer has a very strong anti-detection ability. Other than finding a size 45 shoe print at the scene, there are no other clues. However, he was wearing a size 45 shoe. If he didn’t deliberately disrupt our judgment, the murderer’s bare feet should be 27 centimeters. According to the 7:1 ratio of height, the murderer’s height is 189 centimeters, which is consistent with the drunkard’s deduction.”
Ross nodded. The Drunkard’s analysis of the scene was indeed convincing.
Anthony continued, “According to my autopsy results, the man’s lower organs were indeed forced into the woman’s uterus. In addition, all the human skin has been pieced together and is basically complete. I’ve looked at the surveillance cameras on both sides of the alley and only saw a blurry figure. The murderer seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding environment and deliberately avoided all the cameras. If that’s really the case, we have to expand the search area.”
Ross was holding back his anger. After searching, he had returned to the starting point. The only clue now was the password left behind by the murderer at the scene, which was then projected onto the big screen.
The password was made up of a total of eight lines, and the symbols on each line were different. Moreover, there was no separation between the symbols, so it was quite difficult to decipher them. Tadpole writing, mysterious letters, triangles, pentagons…what were all these things? The members of the Zero Major Crimes Squad were all troubled. Although they were all elites from various industries, they really didn’t know anything about deciphering the code.
“Let the secret agents from the Ministry of National Security Decipher this mysterious symbol. I think our time should be spent on tracking it, and I think that even if we decipher it, we won’t know its identity.” The drunkard who was half-lying on the sofa spoke in deep thought.
“Why?” Ross asked.
The drunkard said, “I wouldn’t do that if it were up to me. I still prefer to focus on the immigration records and check if there are any people who fit the killer’s characteristics in the past two days.”
Ross frowned. This was a very good direction for investigation.
The killer had killed someone and completed the character. If they were to board the flight back at this time, they really wouldn’t be able to do anything.
“Start this round of investigation. Willie, Anthony, gather what’s essential immediately.”
“Yes!”
After the arrangements were made, Ross immediately called the FBI and asked them to decode the mysterious symbol.
At 10 AM, Willie and Anthony found some clues and found that only one person matched the murderer’s characteristics. They arrived in New York City in the early morning and took the 9 AM flight to Circassia. His name was Aubrey, and he was a veterinarian.
“Could it be him?”
Ross looked at all the information about Aubrey on the big screen, and his eyes were locked.
“Even if it is him, we can’t catch him. The plane has already taken off. Don’t forget that we don’t have an extradition treaty with Circassia,” the drunkard said.
Ross’s face was gloomy. He said, “Even if there is no extradition treaty, we can’t let him go free. We can ask Interpol for help and arrest him immediately after he gets off the plane.”
Actually, he knew very well that without an extradition treaty, it was really too difficult to try a criminal from thousands of miles away.
It was also because of this that he couldn’t control his emotions, because the feeling of watching the criminal leave without them being able to do anything was really heart-wrenching.
Tick tock, Tick tock.
At this time, Judy’s computer rang.
“Team leader, the FBI has sent news that the mysterious symbol has been deciphered.”
Ross’s heart trembled. “Project it on the big screen.”
Judy’s hands were jumping on the keyboard. After a few clicks, she finally hit enter.
Ka!
The deciphered words flashed on the big screen.
—
The will of death was above everything. The process was joyful and exciting. I enjoyed everything immensely. What was even more exciting was that the will of death could not be rejected. All of you were lowly mortals, so you had no choice. When you finished deciphering, I had already left this land that was waiting for me to conquer. All of you would feel a deep sense of powerlessness, anger, and pity for the good-for-nothings!
—
After reading the inscription, everyone’s faces turned purple.
To them, the most painful thing was this: watching the criminals escape.
Not only were they powerless, but they were also ridiculed by the criminals.
‘What a f*cking coward.’
“F*ck. It must be that Aubrey. If I had arrived at the airport earlier, I might have stopped him outside the airport.” Willie slammed the table with a loud bang, his face filled with deep regret.
“I’m also responsible,” Anthony said.
“All right, no one wanted this to happen. I know you’ve tried your best. Besides, we don’t have any concrete evidence to prove that Aubrey is the murderer. Did you notice that he killed two people at Blythe Road as soon as he got off the plane? Then he got on the plane and left. The whole process was smoothly executed. It was a premeditated murder,” Loggins spoke as he analyzed the situation.
“No matter where we go, we must get justice for the murderer. Otherwise, we’ll really be deemed useless,” Ross said coldly.
This matter was not only a slap to the face of the police, but it was also related to the dignity of a country.
If the murderer could not be brought to prison and trialed under the mandates of justice, what would happen to their country’s dignity? Letting an outsider swagger in to kill people and then leave with ease…how many people would be disappointed with that passive treatment of criminals?
The more Ross thought about it, the angrier he became. “Bastard, investigate for me. You must make sure that his crime is confirmed.”
At this moment, everyone was fueled up and geared up for the task. The criminal had already stepped on their faces and was still spitting non-stop. Anyone with a little bit of courage would not be able to endure such humiliation.
Under the relevant media reports, the hearts of the people who went forward were also ignited.
“I’m so angry. How could he be so arrogant? I hope that the relevant departments will step in to investigate. Punish the murderer severely and give the deceased an explanation.”
“Seeing such news in the morning, I’m so angry that I’m about to explode. How bad are our police? Why are there no clues at all?”
“Death Inquisitor, others are bullying you. F*ck them. We support you.”
“We support the Death Inquisitor!”
The voice of the citizens grew louder and louder. The members of the Zero Major Crimes Squad were busy browsing through more than ten million messages.
At this moment, Willie sent a message to Aubrey. He left the airport and went somewhere along the way. During the time he boarded the plane and left, he searched through the surveillance cameras along the way. Although Aubrey was good at hiding, he still left a lot of fragments. They connected these fragments and got a road map.
After Aubrey got off the plane, he took a cab to Blight Road, went to the elementary school along that road, and left New York on a plane.
Judy also found out that Aubrey had used a restaurant’s public network to access the Internet, and that the area where he posted his tweets was near the restaurant.
They also pulled two of Aubrey’s cabs. In the cab that brought him to the airport, they found a trace of blood in the back seat, and they were running it through forensic analysis.
From what they had so far, Aubrey is a prime suspect.
