Chapter 44 Missing and murder case
If the driver was a normal person, he would just have wasted a little time.

If not, it must be a major case.

Based on his understanding of the system, the probability of triggering the reward mechanism for a major case may be slightly higher than that for an ordinary police case.

Ignoring Keno, York pulled out his cell phone, found a number and dialed it.

As the saying goes, it is better to kill by mistake than to miss the opportunity. It doesn’t take much effort to confirm it.

"Who's calling?" Kino asked subconsciously.

"Detective Gregory of the Robbery-Homicide Division." Yorks replied calmly.

"I helped him on a mission."

Like the Anti-gang and Narcotics Division mentioned above, the Robbery and Homicide Division is also part of the Detective Bureau. Of course, the functions of the Robbery and Homicide Division are different from those of the Anti-gang and Narcotics Division.

Literally speaking, the function of the Robbery-Homicide Division is murder and robbery.

Simply put, all criminal cases in Los Angeles, such as murders and ordinary homicides, are handled by the Robbery-Homicide Division.

Kino blinked, but he also remembered the relationship between York and Detective Achido of the Anti-gang and Narcotics Bureau. Looking at York's calm face, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

"How come you know people everywhere?"

Yorks didn't know what Kino was complaining about, and even if he knew he wouldn't care.

There is a truth in the previous life: when you become famous or rich, you will be surrounded by good people.

The same is true now. If you are strong or have a good background, there will be many people around you who want to know you.

This is the case with Archido of the Anti-gang and Narcotics Division, and also with Gregory of the Robbery-Homicide Division.

The world goes on with the human relationships and social conventions. No matter where you are, it is all about human relationships and social conventions without exception.

When good luck comes, earth turns into gold, and when bad luck comes, gold turns into earth.

"Hello, York?"

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, York said calmly: "It's me, Gregory. Do you have any unsolved murders or missing persons cases recently?"

The sound continued to transmit along the signal, to the huge police detective bureau, and to the cell phone of a man with messy hair and unkempt face.

"what do you mean?"

Gregory frowned slightly, glanced at some photos of victims and densely packed handwriting on the blackboard, nodded to his colleagues who were thinking hard below, and then walked out of the briefing room.

"I encountered a very interesting thing while on patrol." York said calmly.

Hearing this, Gregory's heart moved. He quietly glanced around the aisle and whispered when he was sure that there was no one.

"Mr. York, I have a case on my hands recently. Five people went out driving that night and disappeared mysteriously. All of them were women.
In addition to the victim's car, there were tire marks from other cars at the scene of the disappearance, plus some suspicious fingerprints and blood in the victim's car. We now suspect that someone forcibly hijacked or killed the victim, moved him to his car and then left the scene."

York raised his eyebrows, thinking of the Toyota Camry that was washed very clean, and felt that this was a coincidence.

"What is the approximate range of the locations you have identified?"

Although this is a parallel world, it is actually mostly the same as the previous life.

For example, surveillance cameras. Unlike China, where Skynet is everywhere, the surveillance camera data they extract mostly comes from roadside shops and surveillance cameras installed by homeowners at their doors to prevent theft.

As for why there are no surveillance cameras, it’s very simple and can be summed up in one sentence: “You have violated my privacy! You have violated my freedom!”

Free people don't like being monitored, and their government has installed very few surveillance cameras.

Just like when Keno issued the ticket before, this was also the reason why he touched the back of the car.

What's even more outrageous is that once surveillance cameras are installed, they may be stolen by some crazy people.

In free America, such outrageous things are absolutely not exaggerated. There really are people with stupid brains who steal. Many very bizarre and outrageous things have happened on this land.

Therefore, the crime solving rate and speed here, compared with that in China, are like heaven and hell, the difference is more than a million miles.

There are countless unsolved cases.

Once a case has gone too long without being solved, its fate is to be placed in the archives, waiting to be reopened one day.

This day may be a lifetime.

And defining the scope of activities is one of the more common reconnaissance methods here.

As for fingerprints and some biometric information, they are only useful for some prisoners who have been detained and registered. If no matching owner is found in the database, then we can only try to find the murderer and then compare them as evidence.

After all, the police here do not save citizens' fingerprints and DNA data. Only those with criminal records will have their fingerprints and DNA samples recorded by the police when they are imprisoned.

"If we circle the locations where all the victims disappeared, the suspect's activities are roughly between the North Shore West District, the Central District, and the South University District. Of course, it is possible that he is further away."

Gregory replied quietly, glancing down the aisle again.

"The suspect has a car, so it's hard to pinpoint his range of activities. We can only use the surrounding cameras to confirm what cars have passed by, and then slowly expand the scope of the investigation by walking around the missing scene."

Then Gregory asked, "Sir York, have you encountered anything suspicious?"

He had a hunch that York must have encountered something, which was why he called him.

York narrowed his eyes and looked at the Toyota Camry parked on the street in the distance.

"Gregory, you were also a patrolman. You know the first steps of issuing a ticket, right?"

Gregory's eyes lit up slightly: "Touch the back of the car?"

"Haha, then guess what I found?" York smiled slightly, "I felt some traces of blood that had been dried by the wind. The car was washed very clean before this. What's more important is that I was in the South University District."

Gregory took a breath and asked directly, "Where are you now?" His voice became a little louder, attracting the attention of the detectives who were worried about the situation in the briefing room.

"No. 267, South Block." Yorks looked at the house opposite the Toyota Camry and said calmly, "I'm guarding this guy now."

"Wait for me! I'll be there soon!"

Gregory hung up the phone, opened the door behind him, and shouted to his partner and assistant who were looking at him in confusion.

"Chris, there's a new clue, let's go!"

"Ah?" Chris stood up in confusion, but her eyes widened a little. She quickly grabbed the suit jacket on the back of the chair and quickly caught up with the disappearing Gregory, leaving several colleagues looking at each other in bewilderment.
