Chapter 187: Chapter 149: Locking on the Culprit, Making a Bet_3

This case wasn’t solved with cheats; it was all done through genuine strength.

Committing crimes with knowledge of the law just increases experience. Combined with the knowledge accrued over years of work at the Forensic Bureau and his increasingly sharp brain, Brian found his ability to solve cases was improving rapidly.

It’s really useful to have a deep understanding of your job if you want to excel at it.

So to say, his past actions weren’t criminal; they were just in service of better serving the citizens of Los Angeles!

The blood on his hands was merely a bit of frost on the path of growth.

With that thought,

Brian said to Green with an indifferent tone, "I’m not incredible at solving cases. I can just put myself in the killer’s shoes. Green, if you think and act more like I do, you could do the same."

"Right!"

Green nodded vigorously.

But... how exactly should he think, how should he act?

He really did want to improve.

...

At the police substation, there weren’t many lights on.

At this time of night, except for a few on-duty officers, there was practically no one around.

The clerks in the archives had already finished their shifts and left.

Thankfully, it’s the age of the internet.

Aside from paper records, most non-sensitive information was backed up on the internal police network.

A group of people arrived at Team C5’s temporary office.

Utilizing his team leader privileges, Rajag accessed the list of officers from the vice squad who were on duty in the area where, a few years ago, the serial prostitute murders occurred.

There were eight names on the list, five men and three women.

He continued to retrieve the duty roster for members of the vice squad in the vicinity of the recent prostitute serial killings over the last two days.

This time there were thirteen people.

Comparing the two lists, three men and two women were filtered out.

Brian moved his mouse over the profiles of these officers and first eliminated the two married female officers, then also discarded a male officer who was over fifty years old.

He pointed at the information of the remaining two people and said, "Egger Birch, Otto Eis, the killer should be one of these two guys, or maybe both are involved."

Rajag examined the profiles of these two.

He had met both earlier that day, they were the white and black officers who assisted at the scene of the tenth victim’s murder.

Egger, the one with the triangular eyes, looked unkind and seemed to have a strong prejudice against prostitutes, directly referring to them as "whores."

The other one, called Otto, was his partner, an unremarkable looking but at least polite white police officer.

According to the records.

The black officer, Egger, was 34 years old, divorced, and had multiple complaints against him for assaulting prostitutes.

As for the white officer Otto, he was also 30 years old, single, with no marriage records, but it was uncertain whether he had a girlfriend, and he had no complaints filed against him.

There may be many coincidences in the world.

But when everything fits the speculation, it’s no longer a coincidence.

Solving cases doesn’t believe in coincidences.

The killer was very likely one of these two, or both were!

..

Rajag printed out the profiles of the two people and handed them over to several team members.

Because there was a glimmer of hope in the case.

His mood also lightened a lot, and he joked with Brian, "Looks like this case is about to wrap up, how about we make a bet?"

"What’s the bet?"

"If I win, you help out our team for a month; if I lose, I can help you chase after Susan when you need it," Rajag said as he raised his eyebrows at Brian: "My mother is Susan’s mother’s sister."

Wow—

Brian hadn’t expected Rajag to be related to Susan.

He promptly agreed to the bet, "Deal!"

If he won, should Susan’s family dare to object to their relationship, he’d start with Rajag, the inside man, and win over Susan’s relatives one by one.

If he lost—

Heh, Susan would be back in a little over two weeks, by which time Rajag would probably give up the bet himself.

It was a win-win situation.

Only a fool would refuse.
