Chapter 850: Hancheng Strategy (IV)
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. We can't provide any guarantee. After all, everyone is responsible for their own actions."
The Korean aunt with heavy makeup was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, "What do you want to know? I will definitely hide nothing. I will never hide anything."
——
The Korean Peninsula is mainly composed of mountains and hills, with relatively small plains. The overall terrain is higher in the northeast and lower in the southwest. Compared with its brothers to the north, the giant country in the universe has slightly more flat land, but only a little.
It is precisely because of the terrain that the Korean Peninsula has always been a barren land in history. After all, there is too little arable land and it is difficult to grow much food.
This poverty is reflected in all aspects of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, such as the modern replica Korean house that Aubrey and Alice rented to experience the local characteristics.
This is a small courtyard that can be called a mini. The green tiles and white walls look a bit like the ancient buildings in Jiangnan, China. There are several small bedrooms with small couches that are no more than knee high, and a mattress is placed on them to serve as beds. .
Jack could only be glad that they rented not an authentic Korean house but a modern imitation B\u0026B. You must know that in an authentic Korean house, people sleep directly on the floor.
The open main hall was decorated by Aubrey and Alice as a conference room. A portable LCD screen was placed on the TV cabinet. The replaced TV could only be leaned against the wall in the corner.
There was a small square table in the middle of the main hall, with an electric hotpot plugged into it. The army pot was cooking in it, and the smell of spicy cabbage and soybean paste filled the entire courtyard.
There is a saying that it is quite good to eat Spam lunch meat and instant noodles occasionally. It reminds him of riding in a green car when he was in college in his previous life. After someone brewed a bucket of instant noodles, the aroma spread all over the place. The memory of the carriage.
Jack is not so evil as to go to the science popularization force with his companions to find out the origins of the matter. After all, Seoul is also the capital of a country, and the major country in the universe is dominated by foreign trade.
Although urban construction has been somewhat behind due to the poor economy in recent years, you can still eat a lot of delicacies from various countries, especially more authentic Asian delicacies.
When I have free time, I can go for a walk on the streets and he will take everyone to enjoy East Asian delicacies just by smelling them.
Of course, if Jiejie and Hannah want to try Hanbok, Jack will definitely recommend the most authentic one, "Chiguri." (Good boy, don’t search)
It's a pity that the partition walls of this Korean house are all made of thin wooden boards. The sound insulation effect is really poor. You can hear a fart in your room from the next door. I guess I can only wait until the case is settled and change to a high-end hotel to experience this Korean style. .
The three Jubals who went to the Seoul Police Department were almost at the same pace as Jack and the others. After working for a long time, everyone was already hungry, and for a while, the sound of sucking and slurping could be heard in the room.
After filling his stomach, Jack made some Pu'er tea for everyone to relieve their tiredness. This is the most easily available Chinese tea in Korea.
In contrast, the so-called "traditional tea" in Korea is so weird that it can be said that except for tea, it contains almost everything, from traditional Chinese medicines such as pine needles, schisandra chinensis, mugwort strips, kudzu root, to almost all types of fruits and even corn silk. It has everything, and there is no problem in taking it directly as a dessert or sweet drink.
Alice took out her laptop and placed it on the empty table, and everyone began to exchange the case information collected today.
Clay first recounted the results they confirmed in the autopsy room. Jubal sighed after hearing this and took out a piece of information and put it on the table.
"Jack's previous judgment was correct. This was indeed the work of a serial killer. Two weeks ago, there was a young woman from the UK, Barbara Walker, whose body was found in a garbage dump outside Seoul."
"Blonde hair, 24 years old. Although the body was severely decomposed, the autopsy report still mentioned traces of facial trauma." Jiejie raised her hand to slightly block her sight, forcing herself not to pay attention to the tragic photos of the scene.
Jack flipped through the report and focused on the part of the police investigation at the time. They suspected that the garbage dump was not the first place where the body was dumped, and that the garbage truck involved happened to have several garbage collection sites near Itaewon along the route it passed. point.
"Why didn't the Korean police connect these two cases together?" Aubrey felt a little incredible.
If these were cases that occurred in two different states in the United States, it would be quite normal for them not to be linked together without alerting the FBI.
But as the capital of South Korea, two murders of foreigners with similar circumstances occurred in Seoul, but no one from the South Korean police noticed the similarities between the two. Isn’t this unreasonable?
"Perhaps it's because the two cases are under the responsibility of different prosecutors, and the two prosecutors are not in harmony with each other." Jack gave a general explanation of South Korea's strange prosecutor system.
Then he provided a name to Alice and asked her to look up relevant information about this person. This was what they gained from the foreign teacher agency this afternoon.
"According to Mrs. Thomas, Jessica Townsend usually keeps a low profile, but some time ago she made a formal complaint against a man named Grayson Faber.
The reason was that they had a brief relationship, but after the two broke up, Grayson Faber continued to be entangled, and Jessica Townsend requested that this person be transferred to another school.
Mrs. Thomas took a calm approach, saying she spoke to Grayson Faber personally and issued a stern warning. "
Let’s not talk about the taste of Aubrey and Alice in choosing a place to stay, but they did meet Aubrey’s requirements. The network speed here is quite good.
Soon a photo appeared on the screen, and the sharp-eyed Hannah recognized it at a glance, “Isn’t this the guy who appeared in the nightclub to harass Jessica?”
Alice’s fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, and the various windows were dazzling. “It should be him. I just hacked into the server of ‘Dawnland’ to confirm that Jessica Townsend and Grayson Faber do teach in the same school.
But a month ago, Jessica blocked this guy on all her social software and deleted a lot of content, all of which were some photos of the two of them.”
“What country is this Grayson Faber from? Can you find his background information?” Jubal asked hurriedly.
“American, give me ten minutes. It’s a bit troublesome to connect to the domestic database here.” Alice answered without taking her eyes off the screen.
So everyone took this time to clean up the tableware and the leftover army pot on the table. To be honest, it’s a bit nauseating to smell that smell after eating.
After cleaning the table, Alice's background check was also completed.
"Grayson Faber, 25 years old, from Tallahassee, Florida, has no criminal record, but there is a police record showing that he was questioned by the police for beating his girlfriend with a gun handle, but was not arrested in the end."
"It sounds like he has a criminal motive and a criminal record. Do you know how to find him?" Clay looked eager to try.
"He still teaches at that school, and here is the address of his rental."
Clay was holding his Apple phone with a changed phone card, and he was confused, because the address Alice sent was in Korean, and he didn't recognize the rest except Arabic numerals.
He copied it directly into Google Maps to search, and a large number of similar results popped up, which made him even more confused.
"It seems that we need a local guide." Jack said what he was thinking.
——
Kim Junhao obviously didn't plan to come and lead the way in person. After receiving Jubal's call, he said that someone would contact them tomorrow morning.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone had been sitting on the transport plane for most of the day. The cabin was too noisy and they had to adjust to the time difference, so they didn't get enough rest. Jack simply suggested going to bed early.
The next morning, Jubal's phone rang. A deep and deep voice claimed to be a detective from the wide-area search team. He and the FBI agreed to meet at Exit 2 of Noksapyeong Station on Seoul Subway Line 6.
