Chapter 141 District Attorney
Chapter 141 District Attorney
The three of them agreed with this point.
Fang Jiating added: "Also, check Paul Mirand, I suspect it's a fake name!"
Grayson stood up in shock: "Paul Mirand is a pseudonym?"
Fang Jiating shook his head: "Maybe the name is not fake, but it is not the murderer's name."
"It should be the name of someone very similar to the murderer."
Grayson frowned and said:
"When I went to investigate,"
"Milande said that his hand model workshop has a history of several decades..."
He was stunned.
"Could it be..."
Fang Jiating said in a deep voice:
"It should be what you think."
Sarah and Brown were completely confused.
"Can you two explain it in more detail?"
Grayson explained:
"The name Paul Mirand should be the murderer's father!"
"This is the only way to explain why a hand model shop has been open for decades."
"Or……"
Grayson looked extremely serious:
"The model of that arm was his father Mirand's."
"Something must have happened to Paul Mirand that allowed the murderer to act under his father's name."
Brown was puzzled: "Milande looks quite old, so why can't he drive it?"
Grayson asked back, "How do you know his age?"
Brown was speechless.
It is difficult to judge a person’s age from the outside!
Grayson said calmly: "Fang has analyzed it before. The murderer is between 30 and 40 years old."
"According to this analysis, his father should most likely still be alive."
"But there's only him and his mother at home."
"Where is his father?"
Fang Jiating asked in return: "What could cause serious psychological trauma to a teenager?"
Grayson said without hesitation: "Death of family members!"
He hesitated, then added: "Maybe he witnessed his father's death!"
Sarah and Brown were startled.
Witnessing the death of a loved one is indeed a huge blow to the other person.
It can be said to be devastating.
Fang Jiating added:
"I guess the date of birth of the murderer's chosen target... that's the date when Paul Mirand had the accident."
"You should ask your colleagues to investigate the files."
"We should be able to find clues soon!"
Grayson immediately made another call.
"Catherine, go to the archives and look for a deceased person named Paul Mirand."
"That's right, it's that Mirande."
"Go back to the file on August 17, about 20 years ago!"
"We are here at Fang, please send us news as soon as possible!"
Fang Jiating didn't react.
Sarah suddenly looked at Grayson in horror: "Gilbert, your birthday is also August 17th!"
Brown was shocked.
Grayson paused and said, "Yeah, if Mirande hadn't been caught, maybe I would have been the target!"
"According to Mirande's pattern of committing crimes, I am one of the potential targets!"
hiss!
Brown and Sarah were shocked.
The two couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
They didn't even realize that Grayson had such a close relationship with the case.
Fang Jiating thought thoughtfully: "It seems that the murderer knows you very well!"
"interesting!"
"That gave me a little bit more clarity on his profile."
"However, there are still some things that I haven't figured out."
"Let's wait for the call slowly!"
Grayson couldn't help but ask, "Fang, what's going on?"
Fang Jiating explained:
"What happened to him!"
"What terrible thing did Paul Mirand go through back then?"
"I have an idea, but it's just a guess."
"If it can be confirmed..."
"Then I can really do the profiling."
Brown asked:
"Fang, what's the problem?"
Fang Jiating thought about it and decided to explain!
"I guess Paul Mirand was killed in the bathtub."
"Young Mirand witnessed the death of his father."
Grayson and the other three looked solemn.
If this is true, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Mirand.
Fang Jiating said coldly:
"But, it's not just that!"
"Paul Mirand should be considered a suicide!"
what? !
Brown lost his voice and said, "How is this possible?"
Fang Jiating asked back: "Is it impossible?"
Brown was speechless!
He is a general, he knows the Eagle Sauce too well.
How is it impossible?
Fang Jiating said calmly: "I am waiting for this judgment now. If this judgment is successful, then...it will be easy to find Brand."
"Just wait!"
The office fell into silence!
Suddenly the phone rang. Fang Jiating glanced at the number and motioned for Gregson to answer the phone.
"Gilbert, I took the recording to visit the victim's mother."
"The voice in the recording is not that of the victim."
"It belongs to the murderer!"
Grayson looked at Fang Jiating in surprise: "Fang, you guessed it right!"
Then the phone rang again.
Catherine's voice rang out:
"Grayson, I found it!"
"Thirty years ago, on August 17, a crime occurred."
"Paul Milland was found dead in his bathtub."
Grayson asked, "How was his death determined?!"
Catherine's voice was extremely surprised:
"Paul Mirand's child testified that two security guards ordered his father to sit in the bathtub and then killed him."
"But the judge did not accept his testimony."
"He acquitted the two security guards."
"Paul Mirand has been ruled a suicide!"
Grayson couldn't help but clench his hands!
"Okay, thank you Katherine."
"Please don't move away from the phone until Nick gets back. I might call you any minute."
hang up the phone,
Grayson's tone was very heavy.
"Fang, the news you've been waiting for is here."
He paused and said, "Your judgment is correct!"
Fang Jiating nodded.
"Then I will give a profile."
"perhaps……"
"Things will go beyond your expectations!"
Grayson, Sarah, and Brown were all puzzled.
This incident was already beyond their expectations, what could be more surprising?
Fang Jiating stood up and walked to the blackboard.
Grayson, Sarah, and Brown all picked up their pens and papers.
Prepare records.
"We are looking for a male, between 30 and 40 years old."
"He has two identities, one is inherited from his father, Paul Mirand."
"Another identity is Grayson's best friend!"
What? !
Grayson was slightly stunned.
Sarah's mouth dropped open. Brown couldn't believe his ears.
At three o'clock, everyone was surprised.
Good guy,
Fang Jiating was right.
The first profile surprised them!
Fang Jiating ignored the expressions of the three people and said seriously: "I'm not kidding!"
"The profiles I made were based on what your investigation and files told me."
"No matter how bizarre this description may seem to you, please do not doubt it,"
"These are all reasonable judgments based on the facts discovered."
Sarah and Brown can't accept this at all!
Isn't this too bizarre?
The murderer has always been with Grayson?
Hiding in the shadows, watching Grayson's every move with fierce eyes?
Sarah and Brown resisted instinctively.
Instead, it was Grayson who calmed down first: "Like the profile of Hannibal the Cannibal?"
Sarah and Brown were horrified.
When they first saw the ogre's profile, they thought the profiler was crazy.
The murderer described above doesn’t look like a murderer at all, but rather an aristocrat who perfectly fits the public image of the Western continent!
However, the facts are facts. No matter how much you deny it emotionally, you cannot deny one fact - Hannibal is a cannibal.
Will was able to find Hannibal under Fang Jiating's guidance!
Sarah and Brown looked at each other and immediately recorded Fang Jiating's judgment.
Fang Jiating nodded with satisfaction:
"For those of us who work in criminal investigation, the most taboo thing is to be emotional. We must be objective."
"Like a code breaker,"
"Decipher the code according to the code book, don't speculate on what the entire code means."
"Instead, we need to record it word by word."
“Wait until you’ve finished recording, then come back and check what it means.”
"The same thing happens when a profiler is doing a profile."
"We make accurate judgments based on the evidence at the scene and the connections between the cases."
“No matter how shocking these judgments are, they are made based on objective conditions.”
"Grissom, for example, is an expert in entomology."
“He was able to infer from the insect’s morphology what environment the insect lived in and where it came from.”
Grayson nodded in agreement.
Sarah and Brown had no objection either.
They have seen many times that Grayson's extensive knowledge of insects helped solve one mystery after another.
Fang Jiating knocked on the blackboard: "Everyone has no objection, right?"
The three of them shook their heads.
Fang Jiating had made it clear enough, and there was no way they could object.
Fang Jiating nodded with satisfaction: "I call this murderer Mirande."
"Of his two identities, this one is the murderer."
"We are looking for the murderer!"
"Please note: Mirand's purpose in killing people is not to seek some so-called pleasure."
"He's nothing like your average serial killer."
"He killed people to draw police attention to his father's death,"
"His purpose is to overturn his father's verdict!"
"Murder cases, murders will cause a sensation."
"When the police pay attention to him, they will naturally pay attention to his family."
"He firmly believes that the police will overturn his father's case."
"Everything he did was to overturn his father's verdict."
Sarah was distracted for a moment:
"Why not go through the normal channels? Why use this method?"
"Those are two innocent lives!"
Fang Jiating asked back: "What do you think?"
Sarah was speechless.
She naturally knew what Fang Jiating meant. Since formal channels couldn't be used, she had no choice but to resort to such drastic measures!
Fang Jiating said again:
"Everyone needs to pay attention. The recording left by Mirande when he committed the crime proves one thing: he has a tendency to self-destruct!"
"The recording was quite peaceful, and the last words were a preview of what Mirand would do in the future."
"Mirande and his mother depend on each other for survival,"
“The relationship should be very good.”
"But……"
"I detected an unusual feeling in his suicide note—he hated himself!"
Brown speculated:
"Is it because your testimony in court when you were young was not admissible?"
"Because you didn't overturn your father's verdict?"
"But this is not his fault, this is the judge's fault!"
Fang Jiating pointed at Brown: "It's possible!"
"In Brand's mind, he was a huge disappointment to his mother."
"He hates himself, too—himself now!"
"That is to say, Mirande is completely disappointed and extremely dissatisfied with himself now."
“He doesn’t think he should be the way he is.”
Sarah guessed: "Are you talking about him killing someone?"
Fang Jiating shook his head:
"No!"
"Mirand will not be disappointed in himself for killing someone."
"In his opinion, this is a means of alerting all the investigators, especially Grayson."
"This is the right thing to do, and he won't be disappointed because of this!"
"Mirande won't show up for a while!"
Fang Jiating pounded on the blackboard.
"The other person we're looking for is the opposite of Mirand, the side he hates,"
"He is a male, between 30 and 40 years old, and is a close friend of Grayson, or is extremely familiar with Grayson's abilities."
"He could easily know the birthdays of quite a few people."
"And has considerable crime scene experience."
"I have to correct a mistake."
"The first case you discovered is most likely the first case committed by Mirand."
"He is a practitioner with a high degree of overlap with the crime scene."
"So, Grayson, please tell me,"
“Who are your friends who meet these conditions?”
Grayson's expression had completely changed.
"square……"
Fang Jiating told him very seriously: "All the judgments I made were based on the case."
"You should too. I know this profile is very difficult for you."
"But this is the truth."
"Or I'll ask you directly—"
“Do you have any friends who work in the court?”
"Or a close friend of the Senior Prosecutor?!"
Sarah and Brown were stunned!
what?
Mirand is hiding in the court?
They suddenly came to their senses.
That's right!
Only the staff working in the court could highly fit the profile given by Fang Jiating.
The two looked at Grayson, and he said slowly: "I only have one close friend, the District Attorney!"
Boom!
Sarah and Brown froze.
The District Attorney is the bathroom murderer, Mirand?
These two people are totally different!
Fang Jiating pointed to the phone:
"Now you have a chance to stop your best friend from killing his mother."
"Mirand is a man with extremely self-destructive tendencies."
"He had already set up a will for himself."
"Whether Paul Mirand's case can be overturned or not, he will end his life in this way."
"And he had real love for his mother."
"When one person loves another person to the extreme..."
Grayson picked up the phone frantically!
He was about to hit him, but Fang Jiating stopped him.
Grayson looked at Fang Jiating in confusion.
Fang Jiating said calmly: "You just said that your old friend is the district attorney?"
Grayson nodded, his eyes a little red.
Fang Jiating reminded him, "This is a respected prosecutor! The procedures for investigating him are not ordinary."
"Are you sure that Katherine and Nick in the other hemisphere can handle this with just a phone call?"
