Chapter 142 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Chapter 142 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Grayson suddenly realized.
That’s right!
How can this be so simple?
The other party is the district attorney, his direct superior.
The procedural pressure of investigating him was something Nick and Catherine could not handle.
Grayson immediately said: "Let's go back immediately!"
Brown and Sarah could only nod.
The two were stunned.
Fang Jiating picked up the phone: "Paul, Gilbert and the others are going back soon, please book tickets for the three of them."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Jiating said to the three of them very seriously:
"Let me tell you the basis for these close-ups."
The three of them listened quickly.
Fang Jiating stretched out his finger:
"Although birthdays are not absolutely private in the United States, ordinary people cannot get them."
"In both cases, the victims' birthdays and home addresses were known by the murderer."
"This person must have access to numerous names, birthdays and addresses."
"This way he can calmly choose his target."
“Note: The population of the Eagle Sauce is highly mobile.”
"Today in the East, tomorrow in the West."
"However, the murderer in this case was able to easily kill the victim at his current address."
"This shows that he has the real-time address."
"So... where else would someone submit their birthday and address at the same time?"
"I thought about it and it's most likely the court!"
"Or rather, industries associated with the courts."
Grayson and others nodded in agreement.
Fang Jiating stretched out his second finger:
"When you are investigating the case, the murderer's reaction actually tells you something."
"And yet, you didn't pay attention."
Brown is puzzled:
“We are all experienced field investigators.”
"How could such an oversight occur?"
Fang Jiating shook his finger:
"No!"
"There is a saying in my hometown called 'darkness under the lamp'. The candle illuminates the surroundings, but the brightness under the candle is lower than the surroundings."
Grayson thought thoughtfully.
Fang Jiating pointed at Mirande's profile picture and said, "You have locked onto Mirande, regardless of whether he deliberately exposed himself out of self-destructive psychology or not."
"You locked him up, but when you arrested him,"
"He just happened to be missing!"
"What's even more incredible is that when you returned to the police force, you saw Mirand's provocation from the surveillance video."
"How did you feel at that time?"
Brown said without hesitation: "This is a mockery and provocation from this guy!"
Fang Jiating asked back: "What else?"
Brown gritted his teeth: "We feel humiliated and angry!"
When the police were mocked and provoked by the thieves, they were naturally unwilling to accept it, and they were inevitably humiliated and angry.
Fang Jiating sighed: "I'm not asking about personal emotions, you are on-site investigators,"
“Didn’t you find any problems with this?”
Fang Jiating looked at the three of them.
"Why does Mirande know all your whereabouts?"
"Even accurate to a few minutes and seconds!"
"Although he has a tendency to self-destruct, he is not an irrational person!"
"That is to say..."
"How dare Mirande show up under the surveillance of the police force?"
"Isn't he afraid of being recognized by you?"
"Or……"
"He knows that no one who knows him is here."
"He can move around freely, and the police officers just treat him as a stranger at best?!"
Boom!
The expressions of Grayson and the other two changed drastically.
Right!
Such an obvious problem,
Why didn't they think of it at the time?
The number of people who knew about the arrest of Mirand was limited, so it was impossible for the news to leak out in advance.
Sarah said with difficulty: "Milande has someone in the police force."
Fang Jiating nodded:
"It's a no-brainer."
"It must be known that something went wrong in some part of this operation."
Brown said with a dark face:
“Approval!”
The police must have a search warrant and an arrest warrant to arrest someone.
You have to apply when you want to take action.
Either a prosecutor or a judge.
This is one of the supporting evidences for Fang Jiating's judgment that the murderer must be working in a court-related field.
Fang Jiating said again:
"There's another interesting point about this case..."
"When Cather called just now,"
"She didn't say anything about the connection between the two dead men and Paul Mirand?"
Grayson said blankly: "No!"
Fang Jiating smiled: "In other words, Mirande didn't kill for revenge!"
"He simply wanted to overturn his father's verdict!"
"Killing innocent people will attract Grayson's attention to this case. I hope you can overturn Mirande's case."
“You can see a lot of problems.”
"for example……"
"The murderer has great confidence in your ability. He even has extra trust in you."
"If it's not someone close to you, someone who knows you well, they definitely won't make such a judgment."
"Another point..."
"This is also what makes this case different from other serial murder cases..."
"The murderer believes in the justice of the law!"
Grayson and the other two were stunned!
Fang Jiating's mouth corners turned up.
“Isn’t that contradictory?”
"A murderer who disregards human life actually believes in the justice of the law?"
"But that's the truth."
"Mirand is a man with a strong tendency to self-destruction, and he hates who he is now,"
"He feels sorry for his father - that's understandable."
"He feels sorry for his mother. Perhaps you will know this when you catch him."
"Generally speaking, this kind of revenge-motivated serial killer,"
"They will target their enemies and will not harm outsiders unless necessary - they feel they are enforcing justice."
"This case is completely different. He is trying to overturn the verdict!"
“He believed in the law.”
Fang Jiating said playfully, "When he was young, the judge rejected his testimony. People like him will have extreme disbelief in the fairness of the law."
"But Mirande is completely different."
"why?"
"Because he works in the court."
"He really believed in the justice of the law."
"It is precisely because of his belief in the law that Mirande would do such a thing." Grayson and the other two were slightly stunned.
Fang Jiating smiled and said:
"Is it contradictory?"
"He believes in the law, but knows that it is impossible to overturn his father's verdict through normal procedures."
“So, we had to find another way.”
"Using such an extreme method to attract your attention!"
"Let me remind you that Mirande is a person with a high tendency to self-destruct!"
"That is to say, Mirande knew that his actions were illegal."
"He had already planned his own demise - suicide in the bathtub."
"Just like the way his father died."
"It's just that his father was murdered,"
"And he was truly committing suicide!"
"You have all heard Mirand's last words!"
Grayson and the other two could no longer sit still!
……
The eldest brother was puzzled and asked, "Why is Grayson leaving so quickly? He was supposed to have a conversation with the forensic examiner."
He and Fang Jiating had just returned to the office after seeing off the Eagle Sauce guests.
Fang Jiating shrugged, "There is a difficult serial murder case. I speculate that the murderer is one of his close friends - the district attorney."
The first brother was surprised: "District Attorney?!"
Fang Jiating nodded:
"That's right, law enforcement officers broke the law knowingly."
"What's even more outrageous is... this person is Grayson's best friend."
"He's also suicidal!"
"Whether it's catching a serial killer or saving a close friend."
"Grayson can no longer continue his academic exchange in Hong Kong."
"Actually, this guy is quite charming."
The first brother laughed and said, "No matter how charming I am, I can't compare to you!"
Fang Jiating laughed. "Okay Paul, if you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back."
"It's not good for the Director of Kowloon Headquarters to be in the police station."
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "Sir, your subordinates are all elites. It doesn't matter whether you are here or not."
Fang Jiating stood up:
"This is not good. As a leader, you should lead by example."
The elder brother stood up quickly and led the way.
“Fang, Karl asked me to thank you.”
"He wouldn't dare to randomly call you and ask you out for a drink sometime!"
Fang Jiating joked:
"Mountbatten is at least a brigadier general in the garrison."
"Why is he afraid to call me?"
"Just listen to his nonsense."
The elder brother said hurriedly:
"You're not kidding! You cured the garrison's battlefield syndrome."
"Karl adores you so much!"
"He said that the garrison has at least regained some of its combat effectiveness and looks like a soldier now."
"This matter has alarmed the military."
"If it weren't for your status..."
"They've been wanting to hire you for a long time."
Brother Yi paused and said, "But I'm afraid they can't afford to pay you a salary!"
Fang Jiating laughed out loud!
This is a very clever compliment.
Fang Jiating waved his hand: "Let's get together again later."
……
He drove back to the Kowloon Headquarters, but only stayed there for a while as he was about to get off work.
The phone rang, and Song Zihao's voice rang out: "Brother Ting, I am now the general manager of the counterfeit banknote group."
He was previously a financial manager.
To put it bluntly, it is the sales of counterfeit money groups.
Even if he has younger brothers, they are still just peripheral ones.
Fang Jiating asked, "Where is Gao Yingpei?"
Song Zihao said in a deep voice: "Let him help me!"
Fang Jiating shook his head slightly.
"No!"
"You are a pawn that he pushed to the front."
"Although he is called the general manager, he is actually no different from before."
Song Zihao said calmly:
"Yes, I think so too! I want to find a way to kill Gao Yingpei!"
"You have to meet the boss behind the scenes."
Fang Jiating understood: "The boss behind the scenes has been sending messages to you through Gao Yingpei?"
Song Zihao nodded in agreement.
Fang Jiating sneered, "Don't do it yourself! I'll find a way!"
"Killing such a person would dirty our hands!"
Song Zihao thanked him repeatedly.
He really doesn't want to get involved in the underworld again.
If it weren't for Fang Jiating's invitation, Song Zihao would rather work for Uncle Jian than return to the counterfeit money group.
Of course, now with Fang Jiating's support, Song Zihao is more decisive and ruthless than before.
He had this thought in his heart - I joined the underworld on orders!
Fang Jiating knocked on the table quietly. Gao Yingpei must die!
As long as he doesn't die, Song Zihao will never be able to get in touch with the real boss.
Lu Zhilian's message clearly pointed out that the counterfeit banknote group was set up by one of the four major banks.
Fang Jiating was very interested to find out which bank it was.
His future strategy requires an international bank as a fulcrum.
No matter which of the four major banks takes action, it is doomed!
Fang Jiating picked up the phone: "Ding Yao, how is Zhou Chaoxian's matter handled?"
Ding Yao was very surprised. "Brother Ting, are you free to call me now? Didn't Sister Zhen find you another secretary?"
Fang Jiating was stunned: "She found a secretary for me? I haven't seen her."
Ding Yao smiled foolishly:
"Sister Zhen wants to give you a surprise."
"I heard from Sister Zhen that the secretary is very pretty, with curves that are as good as ours."
Fang Jiating snorted coldly: "You have to see the real person to know whether it is true or not."
Ding Yao was in a good mood. Le Huizhen was very considerate of her feelings and had to tell her even when arranging a secretary.
What made Ding Yao even happier was that Fang Jiating obviously did not see the secretary that Le Huizhen had carefully selected.
"Zhou Chao first arranged for his men to pretend to be international sellers of counterfeit money and continue bleeding the Sihai Gang."
"This guy is a ruthless person. He beat the Four Seas Gang to the point where they are barely alive."
"The other transportation routes of the Four Seas Gang have been cut off,"
"The only way left is counterfeit money."
"The Four Seas Gang has lost half of its funds!"
Fang Jiating asked: "What are your plans?"
Ding Yao laughed and said, "Let the two gangs fight. I'm waiting for the Four Seas Gang to sue for peace."
"When the time comes, the three families will form an alliance, and I will be the leader!"
"Yiwan is decided in one fell swoop!"
Fang Jiating reminded:
"Let Lei Gong go to the Grand Commander's Mansion and show off his skills,"
"Put some pressure on the Four Seas Gang!"
"All the connections between him and the black and white worlds have been severed, so he only has one way left!"
Ding Yao agreed without hesitation.
Fang Jiating said again:
"I will arrange for Gao Yingpei from the counterfeit banknote group to go to Yiwan, and you can use Zhou Chaoxian to kill him!"
Ding Yao simply agreed.
