The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

Watching the three GMC Yukons go away, the bruised and battered Hanged Gang members on the beach helped each other to get up from the ground.

" # $ @\u0026!" Hector twisted his arm, which was removed and reattached by Jack, in pain, and pushed away the woman who wanted to help him, and stood up.

A younger brother came to his boss with a mobile phone, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, "Do you want to contact?"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Hector, and all kinds of dirty words that were difficult to express in written language burst out, ".You idiot, only two of them took action! We have more than 20! Do you want to spread it to the whole world?"

The angry Hanged Gang members rushed forward, but Jack had just knocked down a few people, and Clay took off his bulletproof vest and joined the battle. It took less than ten minutes for the two of them to beat all the more than 20 strong men.

Although Clay explained that he was worried that Jack might accidentally lose his hand when fighting against a group of opponents alone, someone knew that this guy was definitely itching to fight.

Because he was in a good mood after fighting so much, Jack was kind enough to spend a little more time to reattach the wrists or arms of those unlucky guys whose joints he had removed. Jubal and Aubrey took the opportunity to check the tin houses.

Unfortunately, the Hanged Gang probably got beaten for nothing. Although there was a small farm in one of the tin houses that probably produced and sold its own products, no sickles were found except for some tools such as shovels and scissors.

There was a diesel generator behind the greenhouse, but it used ordinary diesel. Hannah also checked all the Harley motorcycles and vehicles on the scene and found nothing.

No cocaine was found on the gang members. According to their explanation, Delgado Plaza was indeed the territory of the Hanged Gang, and collecting protection fees and selling some tuna there was the main source of income for the gang.

Therefore, only by maintaining the "order" there can the interests be maximized, so they never cause trouble to American tourists, and also prevent some ignorant bastards from making trouble there.

Not long after the GMC Yukon River left Aquila Beach, Lopez, who was waiting on the road with several police cars, came to meet it.

"It seems that you have troubled the wrong person." The former lieutenant looked gloomy, "We just found another body, still an American."

"What identity?" Jack's mood, which had just been somewhat relaxed because of beating people, suddenly became worse. Could it be that this time they encountered a serial murder case?

"A businessman named Robert Miller." Lopez called up the ID photo of a middle-aged white man on his mobile phone, who looked about 40 or 50 years old.

"How do you know it is related to Lee Kern's case?" Aubrey took Lopez's mobile phone curiously and looked through the photos of the scene at the back, and then he found the answer himself.

Robert Miller in the ID photo is a middle-aged white man, while the scene photo shows a body covered in black, with both arms cut off at the elbows and thrown aside at random.

At first glance, it looks like a burnt corpse or an African, but the clothes on the body are intact. A closer look reveals that the body has been painted with black paint and something is stuffed in its mouth.

"And there are two crime scenes this time. The Mexican police found his car and blood in the parking lot of the dog racing track, and his body appeared under an overpass two kilometers away."

Lopez took back his phone and asked, "Should we go to the crime scene or the corpse scene first?"

Jubal thought for a while and arranged, "Aubrey and Alice go back to the hotel to investigate Robert Miller's details. Clay, Jiejie and Hannah go to the crime scene. Agent Lopez and Jack will go to the corpse scene with me."

——

"The murder method is obviously the same. The murder weapon is still a sickle. The cause of death is excessive blood loss and suffocation caused by a laceration in the neck." Jack used a flashlight to check the neck of the deceased and then shone it on his severed elbow.

"The method is much more brutal than before. Can it be regarded as an escalation of violence?" Jubal's experience in serial murders is obviously not as good as Jack's.

"Maybe, but I feel a clear sense of ritual." Jack approached the body and smelled a clear smell of beer.

"The contraction of muscles and blood vessels is not obvious, which means that the arm was chopped off after death. Judging from the uneven jagged tearing of the wound, I tend to think that the tool was a saw, an ordinary woodworking saw.

Dismemberment and painting were done after the victim died. I have a feeling that murder and abuse are not the motives of the murderer, but there are other purposes."

"Religious ceremony? But this time the body was not placed in a cross and hung up." If Jubal is just not familiar with serial murders, then it is a new field for Lopez, a former lieutenant of the Mexican Marine Corps.

"The deceased's mouth was stuffed with cigars, and beer was also forced into him after death. These are typical ritual techniques." Jack paused and added.

"But I can't tell what kind of superstitious worship this is. No iconic patterns were found at the two scenes, and the nature of the locations where the bodies were found is completely different.

Lee Kern's body was hung in a public square for display, and this place is under an overpass where few people go."

Lopez, a Mexican, thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of local cult that corresponds to similar ritual sacrifices. It's not because it's rare, but because there are too many similar weird superstitions.

From Satanism to Voodoo, Mexico is not inferior to the United States in this regard because of the "frequent exchanges" between the two countries.

"Is it possible that the murderer originally planned to hang the body under the overpass, but was interrupted by some unexpected factors?" After finishing speaking, Jubal looked up at the overpass deck, which was more than 20 meters above the ground, and then overthrew it himself. made this guess.

If you want to hang a corpse on such a high overpass, the best way is obviously not to hang it from below, but to hang it from the bridge surface.

"Asking about the situation at the crime scene will probably prove my suspicion." Jack said and made a video call to Jiejie.

The dog racing track is closer to the overpass, and the three people there have also completed the on-site investigation. Jiejie took her mobile phone to scan the scene and explained it to Jack.

"The left front tire of the Mondeo driven by the victim was punctured. It should have been done by the murderer. He ambushed Robert Miller when he leaned over to check."

In the lens of Jiejie's mobile phone, it can be seen that the window glass of the Mondeo's driving position and the dark green outside of the body are covered with traces of arterial blood splatter.

"Are there any other traces of blood?" Jack asked.

Jiejie turned the phone around, and finally shrugged towards herself, "It's the same as the previous crime scene, that's all."
