The Case Is On Television

"F*ck!"

Augustus cursed in a low voice. It was unknown if he was cursing at Roan or the serial killer.

"Lacey, go out for a while."

"Alright."

After asking Lacey to leave the team leader's office for the time being, Augustus asked Roan very seriously, "Roan, kidnapping cases and serial murders are different, do you know that?"

"I know."

Roan nodded.

In comparison, solving a serial murder case and catching the real murderer of the serial murder case, excluding the increase in fame, the leading agent who solved the case actually would not get much money because the reward for the case was fixed.

Most of the time, the families of the victims of serial murders would not give too much gratitude money because after the death of the victims, many families would become broken. It was normal for them to have no money.

Kidnapping cases were different because the criminal's goal was to seek money. The families of the kidnapped victims also understood this, so when the agents helped them rescue their loved ones, they would usually not be stingy with the gratitude money.

In any case, the reward for the agents was less than the reward for the kidnappers.

The Americans understood that if they wanted the horse to run, they had to feed it grass.

This was an unwritten rule in the America.

Seeing Roan nod, Augustus was very satisfied. He liked this kind of underling who could see through everything with just a little bit, so he continued, "Our Investigation Team No. 5 has just been established. A serial murder case is not suitable for us. The reason why I took on the 'Female Corpses in the Lake Serial Murder Case' was because this case spanned a long time."

"It would be best if we could solve it. If we couldn't solve it, the team supervisor wouldn't criticize us. She would just hand the case over to other investigation teams. Therefore, I took on the case mainly to let you guys gain experience. However, kidnapping cases were different. Sometimes, these cases were difficult, and sometimes, they were easy."

"I took on the 'Missing and Kidnapping of a Rich Woman' mainly to train my soldiers. It's best if I can solve the case. If I can't solve it, I've told you before that I'll transfer Ryder to take charge. You can accumulate experience, and there will be opportunities in the future…"

Hearing Augustus's assurance, Roan's expression was a little confused.

'Good heavens, I'm thinking about making money, but you're thinking about politics!'

The two of them were thinking in completely opposite directions.

Augustus felt that his mouth was a little dry after talking for a long time. Roan stood up and poured him a cup of coffee. Augustus was very satisfied. After drinking the coffee, he asked, "So, the current situation is, do you have the confidence to catch the murderer? If you're not confident, I'll immediately hand this case to other investigation teams. After all, it's been 14 hours since the 24-hour prime time."

"Uh..."

Roan lowered his head and pondered.

When they were in the apartment in Queens, Agent Neil from the Trace Investigation Department had briefly introduced the condition of the body parts to Roan when he was sorting them out.

According to the thickness of the frost on the surface of the body parts and the degree of freezing of the body parts, Neil roughly estimated that the body parts had not been frozen for a long time, about two to three days.

If Agent Neil's judgment was correct, it meant that the murderer had tortured Serena for more than two weeks before killing her.

Judging from this angle, Sabrina should still be safe. There was a high chance that she had not been killed by the murderer.

Of course, nothing was absolute. Who knew what a serial killer was thinking?

Then, the three most important things were: Who was the murderer? Where was the murderer's home address? Where was the murderer hiding after kidnapping Sabrina?

It was still not certain who the murderer was.

The Trace Inspection Department did find fingerprints that did not belong to the victim in the apartment in Queens. However, they could not be 100% sure that the fingerprint was the murderer's.

Not only that, but it would take a long time for the Trace Inspection Department to compare fingerprints. There were only 11 hours left in the 24-hour prime time.

At the same time, the Trace Inspection Department could only compare fingerprints with the FBI's criminal fingerprint database. In other words, if the serial killer had never committed a crime before and had not registered his fingerprints in the local police station, then the FBI's fingerprint database would not be able to find the identity of the murderer.

It was even more impossible to find out the murderer's home address without knowing who the murderer was.

"The only thing we can think of now is where the murderer hid Sabrina after kidnapping her."

Roan closed his eyes tightly as his brain spun wildly. He tried to analyze everything that had happened today, trying to figure out the murderer's behavior and find the location where the murderer was hiding.

However, serial killers were different from real killers. Roan could not analyze the thoughts of a pervert even after thinking for a long time.

Just as Roan was about to give up, his eyes flashed. He suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that the murderer…

Seeing Roan's thoughtful expression, Augustus knew that he was analyzing the clues. He did not rush him and picked up his coffee to take another sip.

Bang!

The door of the team leader's office was pushed open. Augustus was shocked by the sudden loud noise, and the coffee in his hand spilled directly on his stomach.

"F*ck! It's burning me to death!"

Augustus jumped up from his chair and grabbed the folder on the table. He subconsciously wanted to throw it at the person who entered the office without knocking.

However, when he saw that the person who broke into the office was Darren, Sabrina's husband, Augustus hurriedly suppressed his actions and even forgot to wipe the shirt on his stomach.

"Agent Roan, Sabrina was kidnapped by a serial psycho murderer, right?"

Roan was also shocked by the sudden opening of the door. Just as he was about to punch the person who interrupted his train of thought, Darren's questioning voice sounded in his ear. Roan immediately asked suspiciously,

"Where did you hear that from?"

He had only told Augustus, Lacey, and Mona about this…Could it be that one of Mona and Lacey had let it slip?

Darren looked extremely anxious."

"What?!"

Hearing Darren's words, Augustus's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly left the team leader's office and ran to the front of the office area.

There was a large television that broadcasted news 24 hours a day.

In the office, all the agents were looking at the blonde female host of the news program on the television with burning eyes.

"At around 7.00 PM, an extremely terrifying murder occurred in an apartment on a certain street in Queens. Not only did the murderer dismember the victim's body, but he also placed the victim's body in the refrigerator to freeze it…"

"According to reliable sources, the case was a serial murder. There was only one victim in the apartment. The FBI had already intervened in the investigation, but the FBI had no effective clues at the moment… All residents, please pay attention to your safety…"

"Damn it!"

After watching the broadcast on television, Augustus's already dark face turned darker than ink. He turned to look at the people in the office and asked angrily,

"Who leaked this case!"

Darren's expression was extremely ugly as he shouted at Augustus, "Was my wife Sabrina kidnapped by this perverted murderer?! How is she now?"

The agents in the office looked around, not knowing what had happened.

Mona and Lacey, who knew the inside story, tilted their heads and looked at each other with suspicion.

According to American culture, when a case was known by the media, the subsequent development of the case would be greatly affected.
