Chapter 865: Hancheng Strategy (XIX)
"Brother, you are here." At the door of the hotel room, a criminal policeman greeted Ma Xidao with his head bowed.
"The surveillance camera in the hotel did capture a man who was traveling with the deceased, and also captured a video of the man leaving alone, but unfortunately his face was not captured.
We have searched the room, and found this in addition to several wine bottles."
He took out a small ziplock bag and showed it to Ma Xidao. There was a blue letter "H" printed on the ziplock bag. "It was found in the trash can. We also collected a fingerprint on it, but we didn't match the identity."
"Huh? Why? Could it be a foreigner?" Ma Xidao took the small ziplock bag that was put into the evidence bag and looked at it, asking in surprise.
South Korea stipulates that male citizens aged 18 to 35 must serve in the military, and when registering for military service, the fingerprints of ten fingers will be collected, so the fingerprints of most adult men in South Korea are included in the police system.
Of course, fingerprints of foreign entrants will also be collected, but that is not in the police system, but in the foreign affairs department.
"Maybe. We have already requested assistance from the Foreigners Administration Office. We will have a result tomorrow at the latest." This criminal policeman should be Ma Xidao's colleague in the wide-area search team. He had never seen Jack before, and he looked at him curiously when he reported.
"I seem to have seen this kind of thing somewhere." Ma Xidao stared at the ziplock bag and muttered to himself.
"This is a small bag for holding drug cartons." Jack curled his lips.
Although he usually fights drug cartons from the source, he has also seen a lot of finished products that eventually flow into the market, especially new mixed drug cartons. After being made into tablets, they are generally packaged in this small bag and marked with special marks. There are ten pills in a pack, which is good quality and cheap.
Ma Xidao scratched his head, "I know, I mean I have some impression of this 'H'. This is a new type of drug cart that was popular before. It seems to be called 'HAPPY' or something?"
"Brother, it's called 'HYPER'. It has been very popular in the past two years." The criminal policeman reminded very servilely.
"Ah, that's right, it's 'HYPER', a very dangerous thing, I don't know what's mixed in it, it's easy to overdose and die."
Ma Xidao saw the detective brother staring at Jack, and slapped his head, "Asiba, I forgot to introduce, this is FBI detective Jack, a very powerful one, I'll show you the big gun in his arms later? The barrel is thicker than your thing."
Jack's face was full of black lines. After getting to know this guy a little bit, the unique Korean habit of nagging began to occur.
He could only smile awkwardly, "We usually don't call ourselves detectives, just call me Agent Tavoler."
"FBI? The FBI in the United States? Are you all agents?" The detective brother immediately poked his head curiously, wanting to take a look at the so-called big gun.
"Uh, almost." Special agent is referred to as agent, no problem, Jack subconsciously dodged.
Ma Xidao slapped the detective on the head, "Be polite, he is a foreign guest. Have you found out the victim's movement trajectory?"
"Hey, not yet. I just retrieved the surrounding road surveillance and prepared to reverse the investigation." The detective shrank his neck in pain.
Jack took out his notebook, wrote the word "Orange" on it, tore it off and handed it to the detective.
"This is the nightclub seal found on the back of the deceased's hand. Generally, women will not go to such places alone. You can try to ask about her companions there."
The two then wandered around the hotel room, but didn't find much. Evidence such as body fluids, hair and fingerprints will be collected by professional forensics personnel, and nothing else can be seen.
Finally, we went to the falling site downstairs to check. There was not much blood at the scene, which was consistent with Jack's judgment and met the characteristics of the victim falling from the building after death.
Jack felt that he couldn't help much with the following things, so he said goodbye, agreed with Ma Xidao to have dinner in the evening, and took a taxi back to the temporary residence alone.
Not long after, the others came back with bags and bags. Clay looked fine, but Aubrey even had a shopping bag hanging around his neck.
Everyone packed their bags and went out to find food again happily. If breakfast before boarding tomorrow is not counted, this will be their last meal in Korea. The previous vote was surprisingly consistent, and it was still Sichuan hot pot.
Ma Xidao, who came late, looked uninterested. Even if Jack ordered a bottle of "Shuijingfang" which was more expensive than "Ocean Blue", he couldn't get excited.
"Is the case in trouble?" Jack probably guessed what the reason was.
Ma Xidao subconsciously drank the wine in the glass, but was so spicy that he gasped for air because of the "Shuijingfang" which was more than twice as strong as "Jinro".
"A lethal dose of the drug 'HAPPY' was indeed detected in the body of the deceased, but this case may not be saved. The higher-ups are planning to transfer it to the Narcotics Division."
"It's 'HYPER'." Jack corrected, then curiously asked, "Do you really want to take this case?"
Ma Xidao was silent for a while, then sighed, "The parents of the deceased are both over 60 years old. They had a daughter in their old age, and they only had this precious only daughter. She cried heartbreakingly outside the morgue. That scene, ah."
Jack rolled his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then filled Ma Xidao's small glass, then asked, "Tell me about your current findings first."
Ma Xidao drank until the glass was empty, and he had no intention of stopping even though his forehead was sweating from the spiciness, which seemed like he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
"My people found the female companion who went to the nightclub with the deceased. She was just rescued in the hospital, but she almost died.
According to her, she lost consciousness after drinking two glasses in the nightclub. When she woke up, the deceased had disappeared. It should be that someone secretly put that kind of poison in the wine."
"Come with me." Jack put the bottle on the table, signaling him not to drink anymore and go out with him for some fresh air.
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Jack handed Ma Xidao a cigar. Jack also lit one for himself. After blowing out a smoke ring, he slowly spoke, "How far do you want to investigate this case? Catch the murderer, or uproot the entire drug trafficking network?"
"Eh?" Ma Xidao almost choked on a puff of smoke, "Really?"
Seeing Jack frowning at him, he quickly explained, "I mean, are you willing to help me?"
Jack turned his head to look at the short-skirted girls on the street, and said noncommittally, "So I asked you to what extent you want to investigate. If you just want to catch the murderer, I just need to ask Agent Valentine to say hello to your prosecutor Jin and let you continue to handle the case.
For such a small matter, I think he should not refuse, but if you want to cut off the spread of this drug in your country, you may need to use some extraordinary means."
Before going out at night, Jack asked Alice to check this so-called new drug "HYPER", which is actually cocaine mixed with something else.
The key is that the ingredients are a bit too conscientious, with a high proportion of cocaine, which leads to the risk of death if taken slightly too much.
South Korea is not like the United States. Every patrol car has naloxone, an emergency drug for drug overdose, in the trunk. Generally, it is cold when it is sent to the hospital.
However, unlike the mainstream drugs on the Korean market, this drug does not come from the US military base, but from across the Korean Strait.
