Legendary FBI Detective

"Found him?"

Hearing Luo An utter those words, Winslow and Chenier in the office were quite astonished; Reesi was a bit surprised, and Mona quickly wiped her hands and moved to her computer, asking:

"Which guy? How come I didn't notice him just now?"

Luo An pointed at a White man with thick eyebrows, a prominent nose, no hair but still handsome-looking, and said:

"The guy in the very middle of the first row."

Winslow, Chenier, and Reesi also hurriedly stopped eating and crowded over quickly.

Mona pulled up the White man's information and introduced:

"Aden Crane, 54 years old, partner of a real estate company, holds a Ph.D. in Finance, is in an excellent financial situation, his wife is Aubrey Cran, and they have two daughters..."

After Mona's introduction, Reesi looked at his behavior trajectory during the time of the murder video, her face puzzled, and asked:

"Luo An, why do you suspect the killer is him?

Aden Crane overlapped with Toby Henderson only during the last few videos of 2003, three years ago.

Car driving records show that Aden Cran didn't go to the beach that night."

"No, you are forgetting something," Luo An shook his head and said:

"Remember the profile the Behavioral Analysis Unit provided before?

First, White male, between the ages of 40-55.

Second, the suspect is married or has a girlfriend, and is highly educated.

Third, financially well-off, owns a second mode of transportation in addition to the vehicle used for commuting to work.

Fourth, psychological or emotional state, suffering from long-term suppression."

Chenier instantly realized, and Mona also remembered this detail, and through a few keystrokes she looked up the vehicle situation of Aden Crane's family:

"In addition to Aden Crane having a car, his wife also has one, and each of his daughters has one as well.

At the time the murder video occurred, Aden Crane's wife just happened to be on a business trip, so he could have used his wife's car."

"But the records show that both of Aden Crane's daughters were at home that evening."

Reesi still had some doubts:

"With his wife not at home, would this guy Aden Crane leave his two daughters at home, go out to find a girl, and then commit a murder?"

"This is precisely why I suspect Aden Crane," Luo An snickered, took some photos and information about the victims from the first serial murder case from Chenier's desk beside him, and handed them to Reesi, saying:

"Pay attention to the ages of these victims."

"Ili, female, 20 years old.

Cleo, female, 19 years old.

Charles, male, 21 years old.

Selena, female, 20 years old.

Kate, female, 22 years old.

Sofia, female, 22 years old..."

There were a total of 12 victims; Reesi only read a part of them when Winslow, beside her, noticed something and suddenly widened his eyes:

"Although these women are all around 20 years old, they actually look a bit younger than their real age.

And a bit younger than 20 years old..."

Chenier, beside him with a cold expression, continued Winslow's words:

"Matches the age of Aden Crane's two daughters."

"Exactly."

Luo An nodded and again pointed at the profile, saying:

"If we remove our focus from the murder video and only consider the death times of the 12 victims, we can discover something:

Every time a new victim dies, Aden Crane's wife was not at home due to a business trip or other reasons.

Only Aden Crane and his two daughters were at home.

And the fourth point of the profile describes the killer as having a psychological or emotional state of long-term suppression.

'The long term suppression,' isn't that an interesting term?"

After hearing Luo An's words, Reesi took a sharp breath in.

"You mean to say, Aden Crane to his own daughter..."

"This is the federal level, such cases are quite common."

Luo An patted Reesi on the shoulder, the global profit from human trafficking is roughly 150 billion US Dollars a year, and the federal areas are among the largest destinations for human trafficking, as well as the largest consumer of child pornography.

Looking at a family photo of the Aden Crane's family of four on the computer, Luo An squinted his eyes and continued:

"Whether Aden Crane has laid hands on his own daughter is currently unknown.

However, I surmise that he most likely has not; reason and desire have been torturing him.

That's why, when his wife was away, Aden Crane would drive to the streets to look for substitutes resembling his daughter.

After the deed, the sense of ethical guilt would surge within him, prompting Aden Crane to kill those women."

The well-known later Rhode Island incident fully demonstrates the hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness of the federal upper class.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's one more thing."

During a quiet moment in the office space, Mona suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.

After tapping on the keyboard a few times, Mona pulled up a consumption record and a death list:

"On one of his daughters' birthdays, Aden Crane had once bought them a certain brand of doll, which had hair fibers matching those found by the Forensic Evidence units on the bodies of the victims.

In addition, there were three dogs in Aden Crane's household, one of which was a Labrador, the same type found by the Forensic Evidence units.

The dog died a natural death a year ago and was buried in Aden Crane's backyard."

"Wow, what a bunch of coincidences."

Chenier sneered coldly, Winslow clenched his fists, and Reesi, not wanting to waste more words, looked directly at Luo An and asked:

"When are we going to arrest him?"

Looking at the information on the computer, Luo An pondered for a few seconds and slowly shook his head:

"We can't arrest him yet."

Reesi's eyes widened, and Luo An calmly explained:

"We don't have enough evidence in our hands."

Aden Crane is in a good financial situation, with plenty of money to afford hiring one of the top-notch lawyers in New York City for his defense.

Right now, the evidence in Unit Thirteen's hands includes dog hairs, doll hair, and Aubrey Cran's wife's car travel records.

But none of these is conclusive evidence; those lawyers have plenty of rebuttal methods, like claiming the dog hair is a coincidence, and Aubrey Cran sees many people every day, any of whom could have left some hair on him.

The doll isn't rare, and the hair fibers prove nothing, etc.

"This..."

After listening to Luo An's analysis, Winslow, Chenier, and Reesi quickly realized the issue and furrowed their brows. Mona's face looked grim, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she tentatively asked:

"How about we go fishing?"

Winslow and the others' eyes lit up, understanding what Mona meant by "fishing."

For example, if a local police station's "performance" didn't meet their goals for the month, sometimes they'd send out attractive female officers dressed very provocatively to walk the streets and wave.

When a driver stopped to ask for a price, the police officers lying in ambush would immediately swoop in to arrest him.

Sometimes they'd go even bigger, such as when a certain local police within the federal territory actually set up a brothel to successfully lure over a hundred wandering guests...

In the East, entrapment is illegal and does not comply with regulations.

However, in the federal areas, entrapment is not only legal but also quite common, long considered by the police to be an effective tool in their arsenal, never failing to catch its target.

Hearing Mona's suggestion, Reesi immediately perked up and quickly developed a plan, introducing:

"We could find a way to send Aden Crane's wife on a business trip away from home, leaving Aden Crane alone at home, he may likely commit another crime.

We just need to find a beautiful female agent who also looks very 'youthful,' and have her lie in wait on his route to draw him in.

Once Aden Crane pulls the agent into his car, we will follow and when he's about to commit murder, we storm in..."

"No."

Before Reesi could finish, Luo An sternly interrupted her:

"We cannot gamble with a female agent's life. It's too easy for things to go wrong; this method is not acceptable."

"But..."

Reesi wanted to say more, but ultimately stopped under Luo An's serious gaze.

Mona looked at Luo An:

"What should we do next then?"

Luo An thought for a few seconds, then asked:

"Do you all still remember the cell phones of those victims?"
