FBI detective

Chapter 244 Cultists
Queens, New York.

Outside an apartment in a certain community, Luo An, Ryder, and Lacey were all heavily armed, holding weapons in their hands. Two on the left and one on the right stood at the door.

Glancing at each other, Roan counted down to three, and then Ryder lifted his foot and kicked hard towards the door.

Bang!
"FBI!"

"Do not move!"

Yelling, the trio quickly inspected every room in the apartment before encountering a young white woman in the kitchen with headphones on and waving her body as she made dinner.

The young woman turned her head and saw Roan and Ryder suddenly appearing, and the Glock 18 in their hands, she was startled and screamed.

"We are the FBI!"

At this time, Lacey, who had checked all the rooms, came back and shook her head at Roan. Roan frowned slightly, pulled off the earphones on the woman's head, and asked:
"Where is Richard Meyer?"

"I don't know, he's not here!"

After slowly calming down her mood, the young woman named Irene explained:
"It's been two months since we broke up! Why are you looking for Richard?"

"We suspect that he is related to a serial murder case."

Luo An put away the Glock 18 and said in a solemn voice:

"Do you know where Richard Meyer is? We need to talk to him.

Alternatively, you can also explain why you have been using Richard Meier's credit card. "

"What?"

Hearing the word "serial murder case", Irene took a deep breath, waved her hands again and again to express that those cases had absolutely nothing to do with her, and then explained everything.

"Richard and I met a year ago."

Irene's identity is a waiter working in a high-end restaurant. The two met when Richard took someone there to eat.

At the time Richard was attractive and a factory owner, so Irene soon moved in with him.

Those toys were also purchased together when the two lived together. After all, Irene was young and played with many tricks, and Richard was also willing to try new things.

Hearing this, Lacey and Ryder looked at each other. It seemed that their previous judgment was wrong. Richard was not a barrel-sexual.

Luo An nodded calmly and continued to ask:
"Then?"

"Richard's factory went bankrupt after that."

Erin sat on the sofa with a very complicated expression on her face:
"Richard was devastated and started drinking heavily.

A month and a half ago, Richard suddenly sent me a message saying that he was leaving New York to relax. I never saw him again and only communicated with him occasionally through messages. "

A month and a half ago, the words "send message" and "send message" made Roan's eyes narrow, and he thought of a possibility:
"You mean you've never had a verbal conversation with Richard over the phone since then?"

Eileen seemed to have thought of something, swallowed and nodded:

"Yes."

Ryder and Lacey looked at each other, and both thought of a situation.

Roan said directly:
"Can you still contact Richard via text message now?"

"No."

Erin shook her head, walked into the bedroom and found a mobile phone, and said:

"I messaged him a week ago asking when he was going back to New York and he never got back to me."

"Fu-k."

Ryder slapped himself on the head and cursed, while Roan took the phone and handed it to Lacey, saying:
"Lacie, immediately take this phone back to the No. [-] investigation team and ask Mona to see if she can use this phone to locate the location of Richard's phone at this time."

"OK."

Taking the phone and nodding, Lacey quickly walked out of the apartment and started the SUV to return to the No. [-] investigation team.

In the apartment, Ryder poured a cup of coffee for himself and Luo An, poured another cup of coffee and handed it to Irene, saying in a deep voice:
"Ms. Irene, you must have guessed some possible state of Richard at this time.

So I hope you will think about it carefully, whether there is anything wrong with Richard's words and actions before he left you. "

After receiving the coffee, Irene's face turned pale and her hands trembled.

After thinking for a long time, Irene shook her head:

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Agent, I don't know what kind of problem you are talking about, because Richard was bankrupt at the time and there was always something wrong with him."

"Will Richard repeat certain words after drinking?"

Luo An sat opposite Irene and slowly guided:

"Such as repeatedly scolding someone?"

"It does exist."

Erin nodded:
"He kept saying that he misjudged the wrong person, trusted the wrong person and so on."

Ryder, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Erin, and he knew who Richard was scolding.

Roan continued to ask:

"Then did Richard say what he planned to do? For example, take revenge or something."

"No."

Erin shook her head:
"I didn't hear what Richard said about revenge, nor did I hear what he planned to do. I only heard him say that this is God's punishment for him."

"God?"

Roan's brain turned sharply, as if he had discovered something:
"Richard is a Christian?"

"Yes, Richard has always believed in Protestantism."

Irene replied subconsciously, then suddenly remembered something, her body froze suddenly, she turned her head and said in a stuttering voice:

"Mr. Agent, I remembered something.

After Richard went bankrupt, every time he sobered up from alcoholism, he drove to a church for confession.

And Richard texted me that he had drunk a lot the day he left New York, and I never saw those two cars again. "

"Excellent Erin, this is great information!"

Roan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked where the address of the church was.

Ryder next to him also grinned, straightened up and stood up, could it be the hands of the pastor of the church?
"That church is in New Jersey."

Erin found a Bible that was pressed under the bed. Inside was a bookmark with the address of the church.

"Good."

After receiving the bookmark, Roan and Ryder immediately left the apartment, and then... took out their mobile phones to call the SWAT operation team.

On the one hand, they need their help to arrest people later, on the other hand, the SUV of the No. [-] investigation team was driven away, and Roan and Ryder needed someone to pick them up.

----

The vehicle of the SWAT operation team was speeding towards the target location, and Roan was sitting in the back, calling Mona.

"How's it going? Have you found out where Richard's cell phone is?"

"Sorry."

Sitting on a chair in the office area of ​​the No. [-] investigation team, Mona said helplessly:

“The other party didn’t answer the phone or reply to messages, so I couldn’t find the specific location of the other party.

But we did find the last time Richard's car was seen on highways in New Jersey and New York. "

Roan was already mentally prepared for this result, and briefly described the new clues he had just obtained from Irene. Roan finally said:

"Check with William and the pastor of this church to see what is going on with him and whether he is suspected of committing a crime."

"OK, give me a moment."

Mona nodded, hung up the phone and started working quickly with William and other technical agents.

At 47:[-] p.m., Roan, Ryder and a SWAT team arrived at the church in New Jersey.

At this time, the church was pitch black, and Roan and Ryder led several SWAT team members to block the front and rear doors of the church.

After counting down to three, the two led the swat team and rushed in together.
