A Credit Card!

"What? Veronica wants to catch the murderer within 24 hours?"

The eyes of the Lavey and Mona instantly widened when they heard Roan's words. They covered their mouths in disbelief.

"And if you fail, you'll be suspended?"

"It's not suspension, it's resignation."

Roan waved his hand, signaling for Lacey to hand over the investigation reports of the two crime scenes to him. He yawned and said indifferently, "Don't worry, Mona. I'm the only one who will have to leave. The rest of you will be suspended at most or have your salary suspended for a few months."

"Salary suspended?!"

Hearing this, Mona jumped up on the spot, giving everyone a fright. Without waiting for Roan and Lacey to speak, Mona grabbed Roan's shoulder and asked anxiously, "Then what about the reward we received for catching the murderer of the shooting?"

Roan blinked and teased, "We probably won't get it."

Mona closed her eyes and fell back onto the chair.

Everyone was speechless.

Roan almost laughed out loud. He reached out his hand to wake Mona up, but Mona opened her eyes the next second. Her face was filled with anger. She turned her chair around and started typing on the keyboard.

"A serial killer..."

Curses came out of Mona's mouth. Roan, who was sitting at the side, was a little stunned. Seeing this, Lacey helplessly took out a piece of paper from her table and handed it to Roan.

"Mona took out a loan to buy a small apartment. She just signed the contract this morning."

Roan was speechless when he saw the information about the apartment.

In the morning, he saw Mona sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard. He thought Mona was hacking into some program, but it turned out that she was searching for information about the apartment.

Shaking his head, Roan and Lacey threw the paper aside and began to carefully examine the autopsy reports of the two locations where the bodies were found.

Agent Neil from the Trace Inspection Department said in the report that based on the degree of freezing of the body parts, the victim that Roan found was the second victim. The time of death was roughly estimated to be two to three days.

The victim Ryder found was named 'victim number one', and the time of death should have been more than a month.

In both crime scenes, the murderer dismembered the bodies in the kitchen. After simply cleaning the traces with water, he smashed the perfume in the victim's house on the kitchen floor in an attempt to cover up the smell of blood.

In addition, Neil's colleagues also found a lot of toys, clothes, and ropes in the bedrooms of the two victims.

The preliminary judgment was that the two victims had been tortured by the murderer for a period of time before they died.

In addition, Neil's colleague found half a fingerprint in the bathroom of the second victim's house. It has been searched in the fingerprint database...

After reading the report, Roan threw it aside and closed his eyes to think.

"I checked the surveillance cameras near the two victims' homes."

The computer keyboard crackled, and Mona's tone was very unhappy.

"We didn't find anything. There's no internet connection. It's better to send an agent to the field to see if there were any surveillance cameras and then get the video back."

Lacey nodded, but just as she took out her phone, Roan waved his hand to stop her. He opened his eyes and looked at Mona.

"Mona, check the credit card records of the two victims immediately."

"Ok."

Mona turned around and continued typing on the keyboard. Lacey thought of something and tilted her head.

"Do you think that the murderer used the credit cards of the two victims to buy things?"

Roan nodded and said, "We can't rule out this possibility. You also saw the crime scene report that there were many toys in the bedrooms of the two victims. Those things were probably not bought by the victims themselves."

"Why not?"

Lacey was still a little confused.

"In Sabrina's apartment, weren't there a lot of toys under the bed? The murderer also went there to get it."

"That's because Sabrina rich, Lacey."

Roan took the investigation report and pointed at the contents.

"The finance level of the two victims was average, but those toys were all well-known brands and expensive."

"This..."

Lacey was at a loss for words. She wanted to say that it was normal for women to treat herself better, but some of the toys in the photos cost nearly four digits. She opened her mouth but did not say anything.

"Found it!"

The typing suddenly stopped. Mona pointed at the data on the computer and said excitedly, "During the time the victim was imprisoned, the credit card showed that someone had used it to buy many toys."

Lacey leaned her head closer to the computer and saw the credit card purchase records. She sighed at how fast Roan's brain worked. She turned her head and saw that Roan had walked into the meeting room.

In the conference room, Augustus was comforting the agitated Mr. Darren.

Pushing open the door, Roan did not waste any time. He looked at Darren, whose face was flushed, and asked, "Mr. Darren, I found some clues about your wife. I hope you can cooperate."

"Ok!"

Compared to Augustus's face, Roan's plain and handsome face was more comfortable to look at. Hearing Roan's words, Darren did not hesitate and immediately walked out of the room, asking,

"What do you need me to do? Sabrina had been missing for 13 hours! I don't want to wait any longer!"

Roan comforted her with a few simple words, indicating that he could understand him. Then, he asked Sabrina's credit card bank and obtained Sabrina's credit card usage records.

Nothing.

"The most recent record was three days ago."

Mona pointed at the information on the computer and said, "It shows that Sabrina bought a dress, and there are no more records of her spending."

Mona gritted her teeth as she looked at the five-digit price tag.

Augustus and Darren, who had heard the whole story from Lacey, had ugly expressions on their faces when they heard Mona's words.

They turned to look at Roan and saw an expression of 'as expected' on Roan's face. The two of them immediately calmed down.

Augustus's reason for peace of mind was obvious. He knew of Roan's abilities.

However, the reason for Darren's peace of mind was complicated.

From being questioned by Roan, to being arrested by Roan, to being locked in the interrogation room, to finding out about his wife, Sabrina's wonderful private life from Roan, to finally having no choice but to ask Roan to find his wife…

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the corner of Roan's mouth twitched. He pulled Darren into the meeting room and said in a low voice,

"Mr. Darren, I suspect that your wife has a credit card that you don't know about. I hope you can call the bank you suspect immediately and ask for information about that credit card."

Darren was speechless.

How many times? How much did his wife Sabrina hide from him?

Thinking about it, Darren realized that he had also hidden some things. Darren took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He said in a somewhat stiff tone,

"Give me a few minutes, thank you."

"Ok."

Roan nodded and turned to leave the meeting room. He found that Augustus and the others were all looking up at the television at the front of the meeting room.

The press conference of the team supervisor, Veronica, officially began.
