Chapter 848: Hancheng Strategy (Part 2)
Not long after, a thin, middle-aged Asian man in a suit and leather shoes with a serious expression appeared at the hotel accompanied by an embassy attaché.
The embassy attaché simply exchanged greetings with the FBI, handed back everyone's guns and IDs, left a business card and hurriedly left.
The skinny middle-aged Asian called himself Kim Junhao and was a prosecutor in the Foreign Affairs Department of the Seoul High Prosecutor's Office. This actually surprised Jack.
I thought that since the investigation power of this case was in the hands of the FBI, the other party would at best send a senior police inspector to come and start the fight. It was not until the final wrangling that it was the prosecutor's turn to appear.
But they didn't expect that the prosecutor would be so hands-on and come to them immediately.
It's just that although the prosecutor Jin Junhao came, his face was full of reluctance. I don't know whether it was intentional or because of his height. His small body was straight and he looked like he was looking at people with his nostrils. Make a fuss.
Jack secretly wondered if this person knew Liang Jingru, otherwise who gave him the courage to face the FBI?
Although the FBI is no better than the CIA, it has many restrictions on its external operations and usually needs to keep a low profile, but it is in an ally country with a cooperative relationship. Is a big country in the universe considered an ally country?
You must know that even the "Qing Dynasty" or the Republic of China before 1949 did not pay military expenditures for the troops stationed in the concession. In the past ten years, the military expenditures borne by the Great Cosmos State each year were about 800 million U.S. dollars. Not long ago, it rose to over 1 billion.
The lowest-level prosecutor in a protected country actually dared to act like this in front of the FBI, which almost made him angry.
Jubal's face didn't look good either, so he simply skipped the polite conversation, took the USB flash drive from the other party, and handed it to Alice, who was holding a laptop.
Alice opened the USB flash drive on her computer and found an edited video file inside. Jin Junhao still had a straight face and introduced it in English with a slight Korean accent.
"Our forensic doctor found a nightclub seal on the back of the body's hand, and the police tracked it to the nightclub called 'Xueliang'. The nightclub's surveillance system is very complete, so we can clearly sort out what happened on the night Jessica disappeared. All movements.”
Alice clicked on the video file. In the center of the dance floor with flickering lights, Jessica Townsend, dressed in cool and heavy makeup, was vigorously twisting her slender waist, surrounded by a group of young girls dressed similarly to her.
These girls may seem to have different skin colors and nationalities, but they all have one thing in common: they are young, beautiful, and have killer figures.
"Are these girls dancing together her companions who went to the nightclub with her?" Jubal asked with a frown.
Although Jin Junhao's attitude was a bit bad, he acted businesslike and answered all questions, "No, my people went to her residence to ask, and her friends told the police that she likes to go out alone."
The video was spliced and edited using surveillance videos from multiple angles, so the whole scene followed Jessica Townsend. A man dressed as a waiter entered the dance floor and took her out of the dance floor with a slightly rude movement. Go to the booth on the side.
There were three young Koreans with oily hair and pink faces sitting in the booth. The one in the main seat didn't say a few words to Jessica Townsend before he put his hand on her thigh that was exposed outside her short skirt.
"OK, can you explain to me what's going on?" Aubrey, as a former nightclub prince and party bully, said he couldn't understand the scene.
Jin Junhao looked a little weird, "This is the rule of the local nightclub. These men sit down in their seats and order an expensive bottle of wine. When they like a woman, the waiter will call her over." ”
"Why? Is this forced?" Not to mention Aubrey, everyone including the three female FBI agents present expressed their incomprehension.
"It's not forced. These beautiful girls are free of charge at the nightclub. They know what they are doing." Jin Junhao's expression was quite difficult to explain.
Jack curled his lips, and he already roughly understood what was going on, "It seems that in addition to teaching English locally, Jessica Townsend has some other part-time jobs, perhaps to raise some money for her graduation trip."
How those girls who play budget travel can travel around the world without spending a penny, this is the answer.
"OK, in this case, she needs to be reclassified as a high-risk group. Have you investigated the identities of these three men?" Hannah curled her lips and asked.
"No, it's not what you think." Jin Junhao shook his head and motioned for Alice to continue playing the video, "You'll find out after you watch it."
Sure enough, in the surveillance video, Jessica Townsend was chatting and laughing very naturally with three oil-headed, pink-faced men, until a white man suddenly broke into the camera and squeezed into her side in a arrogant manner.
It was obvious that the two of them knew each other, but after the white man appeared, although the video was not clear enough to see the details of Sikka Townsend's expression, her body language clearly expressed resistance.
Clay began to use what he had learned recently to analyze, "Crossing her hands around her chest, she kept shaking her hair. She was nervous, and her intention to resist was very obvious."
Not long after, Jessica Townsend and the white man who suddenly appeared disappeared from the camera, and the surveillance video ended.
"I personally went to the nightclub to investigate and interviewed the waiter and doorman who were on duty that night. The waiter testified that Jessica Townsend was alone with this man for several minutes.
According to the doorman's recollection, first the man left the nightclub angrily, and soon after, Jessica Townsend also left alone, probably around 10 p.m., and disappeared after that. "
After speaking, Jin Junhao looked at the FBI and said, "Now this unidentified white male is listed as the primary suspect, but according to the requirements above, it is your job to find him."
The co-author thought they were here to pick peaches, and everyone suddenly understood. No wonder the prosecutor put on a bad face as soon as he came up.
Although Jack wanted to tell him that they were forced to come here, but after thinking about it, he still didn't bother to explain. How could there be so much mutual understanding in the adult world.
The prosecutor's identity is now the liaison officer with the FBI. Anyway, the person he mainly deals with is Jubal and not Jack. It's not a big deal to just show off a bad face.
But if the other party doesn't cooperate well in the follow-up actions, then just replace it. The FBI still has the responsibility to maintain the long-standing relationship between the two countries as father and son.
Next, Jubal made personnel arrangements. He, Jiejie, and Hannah followed Prosecutor Jin Junhao to the Seoul Police Department to check whether there had been similar cases in the near future. Jack and Clay went to the morgue to check the body. Aubrey and Alice went to look for a suitable place to stay nearby.
After joining the FBI, Clay has always had a strong interest in learning and has made rapid progress. After all, in other departments, a case may take several months. How can the wanted criminal team be exposed to homicide cases so frequently.
Combining theory with practice, it is difficult to grow at a slow pace, and now the only practical experience he lacks is autopsy.
Jack is actually only a second-hand expert in this aspect. After all, forensic science tends to focus on the accumulation of experience. Although he has a cheating finger and has a lot of theoretical knowledge, the number of corpses he has personally dissected is limited after all.
There are some things that you just don’t know if you haven’t seen them before. No matter how much theoretical knowledge you have, it’s not as good as dissecting 100 corpses with your own hands. However, Jack is not very sorry about this, and he has no motivation to strengthen his learning in this area.
After all, his name is Jack Tavole, not Hannibal Lecter. He is far more interested in food than in dissecting cadavers. He also doesn’t want to be associated too much with the profession of forensic medicine. This It will seriously affect the mood of those who taste his food.
