Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 168: Fingerprint

Carolina Bellot's sister, Anlizi Bellot, sitting in a wheelchair, began to cry silently upon learning of her sister's recent death in an attack.

Seeing the almost seventy-year-old elder sobbing and shedding tears, Reesi quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it over.

Once Anlizi's emotions gradually stabilized, Luo An asked softly:

"Can you tell us about Carolina's situation?"

After a moment of silence, Anlizi sighed repeatedly:

"Carolina was a good person, kind-hearted, and she never had conflicts with others in her life."

Whether these words were true or not didn't matter, as Reesi noted them down in her notepad and Luo An continued to inquire:

"Have you noticed Carolina being anxious, worried, or anything else unusual in the past few days?"

"No."

Anlizi shook her head repeatedly:

"Everything has been very normal these past days, so I was shocked, I don't understand why someone would want to kill her..."

Seeing the elderly woman before her struggling to catch her breath as she spoke, Reesi hurriedly poured her a glass of water, soothing her back while comforting:

"We understand, these kinds of things are always hard to accept.

But we need to know more information related to Carolina, only then can we catch the murderer."

"I know, I know..."

After drinking the water Reesi handed her, Anlizi calmed down again, and after pondering for a moment, she suddenly remembered something and said to Luo An seriously:

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

"Last week, Carolina wanted to hire a caretaker for me because of my disability.

But she was afraid the caretaker wouldn't work properly, might deceive her or bully me, so she had surveillance installed all over this apartment, and even on the lawn outside..."

Hearing this news, Reesi's eyes lit up, and without wasting words, Luo An immediately stood up to ask:

"Where is the surveillance terminal?"

Before long, the footage from the surveillance video appeared before Luo An's eyes.

After excluding the blank and useless segments, Luo An successfully found a figure wearing a mask in the Friday afternoon recording.

The style of the mask worn by this individual was exactly the same as that of the murderer who killed Carolina.

Luo An exchanged a glance with Reesi, immediately exported the surveillance recording, and then asked Anlizi:

"Do you recognize him?"

Looking at the screenshot from the video, Anlizi pondered for a few seconds and nodded repeatedly:

"I don't recognize him, but I have seen him.

In the past few days, he loitered around this apartment complex multiple times, there was something strange about him, and when I was sunbathing on the lawn, he was staring at me."

Upon hearing this, Luo An asked urgently:

"Did you get a clear look at his face?"

"No, he was always wearing a mask like in the photo."

Anlizi suddenly realized something, her urgency evident as she looked at Luo An and asked:

"Could he be the killer who murdered Carolina?

Damn it, I should have thought of this sooner, I always thought he was a homeless man.

I should have spoken up earlier, told Carolina sooner, so she wouldn't have..."

As she spoke, Anlizi began to sob softly again, Luo An sighed at the sight, and Reesi once again pulled out a tissue to comfort her.

Investigative Team No. 5, office area.

Luo An flopped back into his seat and took a big gulp of coffee.

The bitterness hit his brain, and Luo An pursed his lips, wanting to ask Augustus when the new coffee machine would be bought with the money that had come in.

"OK, these are the people who staked out Carolina Bellot's apartment."

After organizing the surveillance footage that Luo An brought back, Mona quickly produced a comparison image with the appearance of the murderer at the crime scene:

"Comparing with the height of the trees outside the apartment, the two individuals are the same height, and their walking postures are also very similar, with their weight both focused on the right heel."

"Excellent!"

Augustus patted his round belly, nodding with satisfaction:

"It seems that this guy is likely the murderer who killed Carolina Bellot.

He planned this crime in advance, then monitored Carolina, learned her daily routine, and finally executed his plan this morning."

"However, I can't find this guy's identity."

Mona's fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, the clattering noise incessant, but a few minutes later, Mona sighed in disappointment and said to Augustus:

"This guy wore a mask the whole time. The surveillance nearby Carolina's apartment also didn't capture his face clearly.

Moreover, I haven't found any signs of him driving; the guy always walks into a park and then completely disappears."

"This..."

Hearing Mona's words, Augustus's brows furrowed tight; he then looked towards William and the others, asking loudly:

"How is it, have we found anyone who might threaten Carolina, or who has a grudge against her?"

"Chief, there are too many people."

A bitter smile appeared on the faces of William and the others. Carolina Bellot was a judge, dealing with dozens of cases every day.

Even excluding the ordinary civil cases, Carolina handled enough cases each day to fill more than a dozen pages of paper.

Searching for a suspect solely based on animosity was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Augustus also realized this, and his facial expression grew even worse.

A judge being shot to death had a tremendous impact, with many media outlets big and small in New York turning their attention here.

Previously, with the supervisor Vireness at the forefront, Augustus wasn't worried.

But now with Vireness lying in the hospital, it naturally fell upon Augustus to step up.

Thinking of the messy media that dared to ask anything, and the focus of Special Agent in Charge Kobert, Augustus felt immense pressure.

But as the leader of Investigation Group Five, withstanding pressure was part of his job. Hence, Augustus chose not to pass the stress onto agents like Luo An and Mona, but to shoulder it all himself.

After a moment of silence, Augustus turned his gaze to Luo An, who was deep in thought on the side, wanting to ask his opinions on their next steps.

Just then, Reesi pushed open the door to the investigation office and walked in.

"Chief!"

Seeing all the agents turn their eyes towards him, Reesi lifted the file folder in his hand, smiling and saying:

"The two bullet casings Luo An picked up at the crime scene, the forensic science team found a half fingerprint behind one of them.

Using our database, we successfully matched a guy: Avar Miller."

"Well done!"

Augustus happily slapped his own big belly, giving Luo An a look of admiration, then turned to Mona.

Mona was always reliable. She quickly found the suspect's information and presented it to everyone:

Avar Miller, 43 years old this year, had participated in several wars in his younger years.

After retiring and coming back to the federal jurisdiction, he had been in and out of jail for a broad array of crimes such as shooting, threatening witnesses, drug offenses, intentional harm, and so forth.

He had spent far more time inside prison than outside.

After reviewing the information and learning Avar Miller's current address from Mona, Luo An immediately got up and went with Reesi to the equipment room.

In the equipment room, instead of taking the usual extended magazines for the Glock 18, Reesi switched all of them out for stun grenades.

In fact, the number of stun grenades that Reesi took was even more than Luo An.

Beside him, Luo An: "..."
