Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 254: The Truth About the AIDS Case and the Identity of the Little Boy

Luo An's words fell, and the agents of Group Five suddenly realized the significance, immediately busying themselves in front of their computers.

With the right direction for the investigation, it goes without saying about the capabilities of William, Mona, and others. By the time it took to drink a cup of coffee, they found the identity information of this Caucasian young man.

"This guy is called Elude Brook, 24 years old this year, lives in New York Queens District, hasn't attended college, and has no criminal record."

William, looking at the information on the computer, introduced loudly:

"There is a file on a woman infected with HIV, who is the mother of Elude Brook and in her forties this year.

However, Elude's mother contracted HIV not through Elude's father, so the family has fallen apart ever since Flavia Fran revealed to Elude's father that her mother contracted HIV through an extramarital affair."

Reesi and others sighed upon hearing this, as Luo An also nodded. Just about to speak, Mona suddenly said:

"I found something too. In the second folder, there's a girl infected with HIV who was a high school classmate of Elude, neither of them went to college, both working at a chain supermarket, and they are in a romantic relationship.

This girl also got infected with HIV after Elude's mother, but the source of her HIV infection... wasn't Elude."

"..."

The air in Group Five's investigation room became still for a moment.

To find out in succession that his mother betrayed his father and contracted HIV, his girlfriend betrayed him and contracted HIV, and that the same woman had told him both pieces of news...

Luo An sipped his coffee, unsure of how to evaluate the actions of Flavia Fran, the instigator of it all.

But now was not the time to discuss the emotional journey of Elude Brook. Finishing his coffee in one gulp, Luo An clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and asked:

"Can we find out where Elude Brook is now?"

"Of course, it's easy."

Mona typed on the keyboard, and quickly located him:

"Elude Brook went to his HIV-infected girlfriend's house this morning, then rode straight to Queens Saint John Hospital."

"OK!"

Upon hearing this, Luo An was just about to get up when Augustus suddenly pushed open the door to Group Five's office and walked in with a smile, saying loudly:

"Everyone, some good news, the forensic science team just identified the identity of that little boy!"

"..."

The agents' expressions in Group Five stiffened momentarily, then they all turned their gaze to Luo An.

Luo An was somewhat helpless, but he immediately recovered, continuing the previously unfinished command:

"Reed, Reesi, you two lead a SWAT team right now to arrest Elude Brook!"

"No problem!"

Reed and Reesi nodded in unison, then quickly walked into the equipment room.

"Mona, you come with me to the forensic science team."

"OK."

Mona picked up a laptop and stood up; Augustus, noticing something off about everyone's expressions just now, inquired about the situation.

After hearing from William about Elude Brook's situation, the expression on Augustus's face...

did not change at all.

After all, having been in the Criminal Justice Department for so many years, Augustus had encountered much worse situations numerous times, and his threshold for emotional fluctuations had already increased significantly.

Inside a room in the Forensic Science Office.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Upon entering the room, Luo An immediately expressed his thanks to the forensic agents with a smile.

After a brief chat, Luo An shifted the conversation to official business, with Mona beside him also asking:

"Agent Nair, how did you find out the identity of this little boy? Was it fingerprints on his clothes?"

Earlier, it was mentioned that the boy was too young to do facial recognition, and all ten of his fingers were severed in advance, making fingerprints also unverifiable.

Therefore, the forensic doctor had expressed the hope of finding fingerprints on the box the body was in, thereby identifying the boy.

"Fingerprints? Of course not!"

Hearing Mona's question, the chubby Agent Nair shook his head repeatedly:

"We didn't find any fingerprints on that box, the perpetrator is definitely a very meticulous individual."

"So how did you manage to do it?"

Luo An picked up a cup of coffee from the side and handed it over to Agent Nair, saying with a smile:

"Don't keep us in suspense."

"Heh, it's quite simple."

Agent Nair raised his eyebrows, opened the small refrigerator beside him, and took out a tightly sealed glass jar.

Inside the jar were two severed little feet.

Mona was dumbfounded at the sight in the glass jar, while Luo An was somewhat speechless about the Trace Evidence Unit staff who specialized in the technical aspects:

"If I'm not mistaken, these are that little boy's two feet, right?"

"That's correct!"

Agent Nair explained with a smile:

"As you know, the little boy's body has begun to mummify, and his feet are quite shriveled.

So, I separated his feet at the joints, soaked them in the preservative liquid, and once the muscle fibers swelled, it was natural to extract the patterns on his feet."

After listening to Agent Nair's description, the corner of Mona's mouth twitched, and seeing the proud and self-satisfied, even indulgent expression on Agent Nair's face while he spoke...

Mona silently stepped back, making a mental note to keep contact with the Trace Evidence Unit to a minimum in the future.

In Luo An's view, while the Trace Evidence Unit was not lacking in technical expertise, but...

Luo An sighed, only hoping that after the little boy's family members see their child's fingers chopped off and feet severed, they wouldn't make a fuss.

"OK."

Waving his hand to refuse Agent Nair's offer to take a closer look at the glass jar, Luo An directly asked:

"So, who exactly is this little boy?"

"His name is Ansel Ward, 7 years old this year."

Agent Nair put the glass jar back into the refrigerator, walked over to a nearby computer, typed a few strokes, then pointed at the interface and said:

"Ansel's grandmother entered his fingerprints and foot prints at the hospital during Ansel's Safe Week."

"Good."

Luo An glanced at the information on the computer, then turned to leave, giving space for Mona.

Mona noted down Little Ansel's information in the notebook hanging on her chest, tapped a few keys, and quickly found the grandmother's home address: a community in the New York Queens District.

Half an hour later, Luo An and Mona successfully met an elderly white woman with limited mobility.

"Oh, God."

Named Lan Rui Sha, a devout believer in God, when she learned of Little Ansel's death from Luo An and Mona, her eyes immediately filled with grief, and she tightly clutched the cross around her neck.

"Please accept my condolences."

Seeing Lan Rui Sha's poor mental state, Mona quickly moved to her side to comfort her, and Luo An also poured her a glass of water.

After soothing Lan Rui Sha, Luo An began to ask about Little Ansel's situation.

"It shouldn't have been Little Ansel."

Lan Rui Sha sat on the sofa, her expression very complex:

"It should have been Polly who died!"

Mona was puzzled:

"Who is this Polly?"

Lan Rui Sha said coldly:

"Polly is my daughter!"

Sitting on the side, Luo An didn't understand what sort of things a daughter could have done to provoke such anger from her mother, and was about to ask when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
