MTL - North American Detective: I Am Proficient In All Kinds of American IAI-Chapter 253 Surveillance, sudden shootout

  Chapter 253 Surveillance, sudden shootout

the next day.

  Dean brought Harry, Carlo, and Cheston, and the four came to the foreign trade company of 'Mrs. King's Department Store' in the city center.

   This is a foreign trade company that focuses on daily necessities. It is small in scale, and they get the goods directly from cheap factories in Huaguo. After packaging and labeling, they are shipped to the American Federation for sale.

  So this foreign trade company has not many people in the Los Angeles office.

  Seven or eight people are crowded in a single-rent office on the 18th floor of a commercial building, with five or six computers, and the people inside are either reading newspapers or watching football games.

  Harry wants to go up and call their leader out.

Dean stopped him directly, and after glancing at those people through the glass, he said to Cheston, "Cheston, go find the person in charge of this commercial building and ask him to find his subordinates. Get a list of people from cleaning, property, security, etc!"

  Cheston is not Dean's subordinate.

   But facing Dean's assignment, he didn't hesitate too much, nodded, took out his mobile phone, walked to the end of the corridor, and started to do things.

   Carlo looked at Dean suspiciously: "Boss, didn't we come to this foreign trade company for investigation?"

  Dean pointed to his head: "This is a very simple logic problem, you have to learn to do things with your brain!"

  Harry had the same doubts on his face, but when he caught a glimpse of a man dressed as a cleaner pushing a cart into the elevator, he suddenly understood:

"I see!

  There are only a few people in this trading company. Once exposed, it is difficult to hide.

  The murderer is obviously not a fool, so he is more likely to be the kind of identity that can enter and leave other people's company offices without being suspected! "

  Dean nodded approvingly: "Yes, and there are many companies leasing offices in this commercial building, and many of them are connected by separate network cables. The murderer can use computers from different companies to contact the victim every time."

  The key is that this kind of place where a large number of companies are stationed, the flow of people is chaotic.

  Once the police come over.

  The murderer can run away immediately at any time!

  After listening to the explanation of the two, Carlo also reacted, with a serious face showing embarrassment: "Boss, if this is the case, then the murderer can also pretend to be an employee of the building without actually entering the job. Wouldn't it be safer?"

  Dean shrugged: "That's it, that's why I asked Chesston to ask for the list, and then check the elevator and corridor surveillance according to the sending time of the mailbox to see if I can find the suspect directly."

  The name of the FBI is easy to use.

  After Cheston made a phone call, a middle-aged woman with black glasses and a cold expression greeted them to the office.

   "Several detectives, I am Indy, and I am also the supervisor in charge of this commercial building.

  This is what you want. If you have other needs, you can also tell me directly. Our boss's only request is that you don't make too much noise in the building! "

   After Indy finished speaking, she pushed a large pile of documents to everyone, then walked to the corner silently, picked up a newspaper and sat down, not caring about the purpose of Dean and the others here.

  In the information she provided, there are photos and identity registration information of all the employees of the building.

besides.

  The structural diagram of the building, the direction of fire exits, and the monitoring layout are all available, and professional ones are not enough.

  By using his powerful brain thinking, Dean quickly memorized all the information, and then walked up to the director of INTI, without speaking, but with a smile on his face, silently looking at him.

Indy's concentration is very strong, but under the gaze of Dean's sharp eyes, after holding on for more than ten seconds, she still raised her head uncomfortably, lifted her coat slightly to reveal the holster inside, and said silently with her lips: "Dude, Don't make trouble for yourself!"

   Dean shrugged.

   Well, this woman is indeed a member of an American intelligence organization.

   No wonder the things provided to them in such a short period of time are so professional.

   This is actually quite normal.

  It is strange that this kind of commercial building that gathers a large number of foreign trade offices, and the intelligence organization inside the United States does not arrange undercover agents, but I did not expect to be bumped into by myself.

  Dean didn't want to be troublesome, and after ruling out the other party's suspicion, he said: "Ms. Indy, we need to go to the surveillance now!"

"no problem."

  Indy put down the newspaper, led the crowd again, and took the elevator to the monitoring room of the building.

  In this kind of monitoring room, except for some electromagnetic cards with extremely high authority, the room can only be opened from the inside every shift.

  Indy is the supervisor.

  She picked up the hanging tag on her chest and gently swiped towards the heavy door.

   One beep.

  The door popped open slightly.

   This monitoring room is not small.

  The sight is densely packed surveillance screens, covering the three walls of this surveillance room. There are about 70 or 80 surveillance screens in total. The screens are not clear, but the faces and clothes of the people inside can be distinguished.

   But in the monitoring room, there is only one woman who is wearing a cool bib, a shoulder holster, and swinging headphones is in charge of guarding and monitoring.

   It wasn't until Indy stepped forward, with a dark face, and patted the shoulder of the hot girl, that the other party realized that someone came in!

  The hot girl subconsciously touched the holster with her hand, and after seeing Yingdi's face clearly, she pulled off the earphones in embarrassment, and said rather old-fashionedly: "Director Yingdi, why are you here when you are free?"

   "These guys have something to do and need to check the monitoring of the building." Indy adjusted the glasses on her face and added: "Before going to work tomorrow, let your captain come to me!"

   "Oh~"

  The hot girl covered her face in pain, and looked at Dean and the others angrily: "Where do you want to see the surveillance?"

  Dean didn't make a sound, but winked at Harry.

   "Hot Girl~"

  Harry cooperated many times, understood it in seconds, and whistled at the woman: "Please help us call up all the monitoring from the evening of May 26th to the morning of the 27th, including the elevator monitoring."

  The hot girl was obviously displeased with Harry's frivolous behavior. After glaring at him, she sat down on the seat and operated the operation interface with her fingers. On the blank screens in front of them, the monitoring of the date they wanted appeared.

   "See for yourself!"

   After finishing speaking, the hot girl came to Indy's side and whispered nice things, as if begging for mercy.

  Indy had a cold face at first, but the corners of her mouth turned up after being coaxed by the hot girl with a few words, so she simply pulled her out of the monitoring room and left it to Dean and the others.

  Dean took a deep glance at the back of the hot girl, and then turned his attention to the monitoring screen.

  Mrs. Jin Department Store Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. is just a small company. The office is more functional. It is located on the floor near the fire exit. Therefore, only the corridor monitoring and fire exit monitoring cover the main entrance of the office.

  So with the addition of elevator monitoring, Dean and the others only need to check three monitoring screens.

   "Accelerate playback, the fastest acceleration!"

   Dean said softly.

  Harry moved when he heard the sound, but a figure sat in the position of the hot girl just now, and increased the surveillance video to eight times the speed.

   This man is Cheston.

  After this guy finished, he turned his head very friendly and showed Dean a flattering smile.

  Dean nodded and turned his attention to the surveillance video.

  Harry and Carlo looked at each other, feeling the threat from Chesston.

   This monitoring and inspection is actually not tiring.

  Because of the self-proclaimed demon miniature killer, the time when he sent the email to the victim, Jonny Dennison, was at three o'clock in the morning.

  At this time, apart from patrolling security, there is no cleaning.

  In the surveillance video, everything is normal.

   Time moves forward quickly.

   Not long after, it was 2:50 in the morning.

at this time.

  The monitoring screen located in the fire escape suddenly went black.

  Cheston frowned: "The target has hacked the surveillance?"

   "No!" Dean overturned Cheston's speculation: "You will rewind the surveillance video to the second before the black screen!"

  Cheston did.

  In the frozen surveillance screen, a very blurry white line appeared in midair.

"What's this?"

  The three of Harry were surprised.

  Just now they didn't find this fleeting thing at all.

  Dean touched his chin: "I don't know, but it is certain that the target appeared from the fire escape, and through physical means, the surveillance was covered."

  The monitoring of the fire exit lost the monitoring field of view.

  The four had no choice but to focus on the monitoring in the corridor.

  This surveillance covers the main entrance of the foreign trade company office of Mrs. Jin Department Store, and it is also some distance away from the fire exit. It is basically impossible to cover it quietly unless it explodes with a single shot by purely physical means.

  As a result, a few seconds after the fire exit monitoring went black.

  I saw a slit in the door of the fire exit, and the same white fuzzy line rushed out of the slit, hitting the surveillance camera in the corridor!

  The monitoring screen is also black!

   But because of the angle and distance.

  Everyone finally managed to see clearly what was flying out this time!

   That thing looks like a soft white thing!

   "Why is this flight trajectory so shot with a slingshot?" Carlo drew an arc on the screen with his finger: "When I was serving and stationed, I often used military slingshots with my teammates to shoot birds and Asian carp."

  Harry focused on building security:

   "This kind of monitoring room is usually manned 24 hours a day.

  Even if the person on duty here was negligent, the security guards who took over the shift afterwards would find that some cameras were covered and conduct investigations, but when we asked to see these two surveillance cameras, that hot girl showed nothing unusual. "

  Cheston also nodded in agreement: "Harry is right. Even if the security of the building does not want to cause uneasiness to the tenants, they will secretly investigate this anomaly, and know that these two monitors have had problems recently."

  Although Harry, who thought he was Dean's subordinate and number one dogleg, was a little upset that Chesston had just flattered Dean and stole his job.

  But hearing Cheston's support for his views, he still felt comfortable, and he looked at him with a lot of kindness.

  Dean motioned for Chesston to continue playing the monitoring.

  Although Cheston didn't understand what the black screen was worth seeing, he still obeyed.

   Fast forward below.

  Time is passing quickly on the monitor.

  After about half an hour of touching.

  The originally dark picture in the corridor suddenly appeared bright light.

  This feeling is like the lens is blocked by a foreign object, and then the foreign object is torn off little by little.

next moment.

   On the floor of the corridor, a lump of white deformed thing was pulled into the crack of the door of the fire escape by the "invisible" thing, and soon the surveillance camera of the fire escape also showed a similar situation!

  Everyone was stunned.

   After the target is done, the things that cover up and monitor are also recycled!

   This should be the reason why the security of the building failed to find these two monitoring sites, and they failed for more than half an hour.

   "The clues are broken again." Harry looked at Dean disappointedly: "Dean, the target is too cautious. Instead of pretending to be service personnel from the building and sneaking into the office, they directly solved the surveillance. How do we investigate next?"

   "What kind of prudence is this?"

Dean walked to the desk in the monitoring room with a chuckle, looked at the duty list on it, and finally pointed to a photo of a rough white man and said: "This guy will show us the direction of investigation, let Ms. Indy, Help us call this guy over."

"correct!"

   Dean seemed to think of something, waved to Carlo, and whispered in his ear.

   Carlo didn't know what he heard, his eyes widened, and finally nodded heavily, followed Harry, and walked out of the monitoring room together.

  Cheston looked at the monitoring room, and only Dean and himself were left. He was not used to it, so he looked for a topic and said, "Inspector Dean, is there something wrong with this guy on the wall?"

Dean shook his head: "This guy happened to be the security guard in the surveillance room on the day of the target operation, Chesston, ask yourself, if you know that there are people on duty in the surveillance room 24 hours a day, would you rush to the surveillance room?" Do you want to start?"

  Hearing this, Cheston's eyes lit up.

yes!

  Since the target is so cautious.

   Then it means that when the other party made a move, he was very sure that the security guards on duty in the monitoring room would not notice his small movements.

   From the security guard on duty, you may be able to find clues to the murderer!

   Such security is a shift system.

   Today happened to be the white security guard patrolling the day shift.

  So after waiting for about ten minutes, a strong white man with a rough appearance appeared in the monitoring room wearing a security uniform.

   "Hello, I'm the inspector of the Police Detective Bureau. I have some matters and I want to ask you to understand the situation!"

  The white security guards were a little uneasy when they suddenly came to him from the police station.

  After shaking hands with Dean awkwardly, he rubbed his hands together, his eyes rolled wildly: "Mr. Inspector, you can call me Bobby, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"

   "On May 27th, were you on duty in the monitoring room?"

  Bobby’s expression changed slightly when he heard the date. First, he turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to deny it, and then nodded hesitantly: “Yes, I’m the one who is on duty, but nothing happened in the building!”

  Seeing his obvious reaction, Dean knew it.

He sighed: "Mr. Bobby, actually I came here to save you, because a very perverted and cruel serial murderer is involved in it. It's a pity that you are unwilling to cooperate. I hope that after we leave, he will receive the news." , will not silence you!"

   Finished speaking.

  Dean waved to Harry and Cheston, as if to leave.

next moment.

  Bobby stopped in front of the three of them, with annoyance on his rough face: "FK, I knew there was something wrong with the affair that day!!"

turn out to be.

  On May 27th, on the way to Bobby's building, a woman threw a stone and smashed the front windshield.

  Bobby cursed and got out of the car, wanting to demand compensation.

   As a result, the woman said she was penniless.

   When Bobby said he was going to report the case, the woman begged for mercy, saying that she could spend one night with Bobby as compensation, but because she was leaving Los Angeles tomorrow, it was only for tonight.

   Although women are average in length.

  But I can't stand Bobby, this guy is a vegetarian!

  Anyway, the car can be reported for insurance.

  The long night is long, and it is undoubtedly a beautiful thing to have a woman to relieve fatigue.

  So he took the woman back to the monitoring room and spent the whole night in spring.

   "I swear, I'm telling the truth!"

  Bobby clutched his chest and swore to God.

  Dean pointed to the monitor: "I hope to see the appearance of that woman on the monitor!"

  Hearing that, Bobby's already rough white face became even whiter.

He looked at the console helplessly, and stammered: "The woman said she didn't want people to find out that she was with me, and she wanted me to delete the video, and I didn't want people to find out that I brought a woman to the monitoring room. So... gone, the video clips I brought her in, gone!"

  Hearing this, Dean frowned: "What about the appearance, do you remember the other person's appearance or physical characteristics?"

  Bobby nodded violently:

   "She looked young, with smoky makeup, and she was drunk at the time, and she seemed to have just lost love, so she threw stones on the side of the road to vent.

  By the way, she carries a lot of small umbrellas in her bag, a bit like a street girl. Because there are many foreign employees here, street girls often come here to solicit business.

   You can ask them, you will definitely find that woman! "

   Dean wanted to say something else.

next moment.

   bang bang bang~

   Fierce gunshots came from the corridor outside through the thick door of the monitoring room.

   After that, there are mixed screams of men and women and violent slamming of doors.

  In the noisy room, everyone could still hear a familiar voice scolding: "Stinky bitch, let go of the hostage!"

   "Carlo!"

  Harry's expression changed when he heard the voice.

  He pulled out the revolver at his waist and rushed out of the monitoring room, but tripped over a corpse lying in a pool of blood.

   Look down.

   It was the director of Indy who received them before!

  She was shot several times, the black glasses on her face were thrown aside, and her chest no longer rose or fell.

what is happening? ? ?
