Chapter 202: The Drifting Journey of the Heart

"What?"

Upon hearing Mona's words, Reesi urgently asked,

"Why do you say that?"

"Connor Trunner, 22 years old, a student at a community college in New York, majoring in chemistry,"

Mona explained over the communicator:

"Just after starting college, Connor Trunner's parents were both killed in a street shooting on Christmas Eve.

Since then, Connor Trunner joined a political organization opposing the ban on guns."

"…"

Hearing this, Luo An scratched his head awkwardly, his expression strange.

The cause and effect of this incident and the psychological journey of Connor Trunner seemed to him to drift absurdly.

But considering this is the federation, it seemed somewhat reasonable.

"Not only that, but after Councilman Emmanuel's death, Connor Trunner was very active on social media."

The sound of keyboard tapping came from the communicator as Mona continued:

"He not only praised the act but also insulted Councilman Emmanuel, and even loudly called on the people in the organization to do the same in the future on forums, claiming only by doing so could they successfully change society."

No sooner had Mona's voice faded, when William's voice came through the communicator:

"Additionally, Connor Trunner's credit card records indicate that he recently purchased large quantities of gasoline and foam plastic.

Moreover, just thirty minutes before the political organization that Comit belonged to was set ablaze, Connor Trunner was caught on surveillance footage near a store not far from there."

"Good work."

Leaving the hospital building, the two briskly walked into the SUV, and Luo An asked while buckling his seatbelt:

"Where is Connor Trunner now?"

Mona's fingers danced on the keyboard, and she quickly answered:

"According to the credit card records, Connor Trunner has rented a warehouse in the Hakensac area of New Jersey for three months.

The highway surveillance video in that area shows that Connor Trunner went there this morning and hasn't left yet!"

"Luo Anlai, immediately contact the SWAT team and the Evidence Collection Division! We'll meet at that warehouse later!"

Upon hearing this, Luo An loudly arranged:

"Additionally, all other agents of Investigation Team 5, always keep an eye on the area around the warehouse, and Connor Trunner's exact situation!"

"No problem!"

After the voice on the communicator ended, Luo Anlai gave a loud shout and immediately rushed into the equipment room.

"Leave it to us!"

William and the other technical agents also responded loudly and then began furiously typing on the keyboards.

Once Reesi was buckled in, Luo An floored the gas pedal, and the SUV immediately sped off.

——

"At the 'Forever Clean' warehouse in the Hakensac area of New Jersey.

A dark armored vehicle slowly stopped, and Luo Anlai, along with a fully-armed SWAT team and two evidence technicians, quickly got out.

"You're fast, Luo Anlai."

Luo An smiled as he stepped forward to fist-bump Luo Anlai, while Reesi came walking over with a middle-aged white woman, introducing her:

"This is Vanessa, the manager of this warehouse."

"Hello, Agent sir."

Vanessa extended her hand to shake with Luo An, presenting the documents she was holding, and said:

"The person you're looking for is in Zone E3, warehouse number 162, it's just that the area is somewhat lacking in lighting."

"Thank you."

Luo An smiled as he took the documents handed over, glanced over them briefly, and immediately led Luo Anlai and the SWAT personnel towards the target area.

This time Reesi did not participate because Luo An had arranged another task for her.

As she watched the slowly disappearing figures of Luo An and Luo Anlai, Reesi turned her head and asked:

"Manager Vanessa, where is the surveillance room? Can you see the area of E3 Section?"

"The surveillance room is nearby, please come with me."

Upon hearing Luo Leixi's words, Vanessa immediately extended her hand to lead her to the nearby surveillance room while explaining:

"Our surveillance covers all areas, and of course, we can also see Area E3."

"Good."

The two entered the surveillance room and under Vanessa's instruction, the security immediately brought up the surveillance footage of Area E3.

At this time, Luo An, Led, and the SWAT team members had already arrived at that area and split into two teams to completely blockade both routes around Container No. 162.

Having confirmed that everyone was ready, Luo An raised his left hand and counted down three counts. Then, a SWAT team member immediately opened the large door of the container. Led led the remaining members to swarm in.

"Don't move!"

"Raise your hands!"

"Put down what's in your hands!"

The inside of the container was brightly lit, and a Caucasian young man was busy at a table.

The sudden intrusion scared the young man, who instinctively stood up and raised his hands.

But when he saw the white text on the SWAT officers' uniforms, the complexion of the young man changed, and it seemed he suddenly remembered something. He was about to smash what was in his right hand onto the ground.

Led, being at the forefront, noticed this, his brows shot up instantly and he extended his arm in a capturing posture, ready to control the man.

Thud!

"Ah—"

The next second, a flash of white flew past in front of Led, followed by the pained wails of the young man inside the container.

Led reacted swiftly, snatching away what the young man had been about to throw and then noticed that the flash of white was a metal fork used for eating, now firmly embedded in the palm of the young man's right hand.

The young man clutched at his right hand, wailing loudly. His face was twisted with pain, but one could still recognize him as Connor Trunner.

Led's mouth twitched, he turned his head and saw the same look of surprise on the faces of the SWAT team members, all staring at Luo An in astonishment.

Standing at the entrance of the container, Luo An gave everyone a slight smile, throwing aside a few more metal forks he had picked up at the entrance, and gestured with his hands:

"Stop staring, take Connor Trunner away immediately, and then have the forensic investigation department check this container!"

"Roger that!"

Hearing Luo An's command, a few SWAT team members put away the admiration on their faces, quickly took Connor Trunner out of the container, and in their place came two forensic investigation agents.

"A standard Molotov cocktail production lab."

After carefully examining the items inside the container, the forensic investigation agents spoke to Luo An after a long while:

"At first glance, the production materials here and the Molotov cocktail production techniques, are about 80% similar to those left at the two crime scenes.

The specific results will come after the forensic investigation lab has completed a thorough examination and comparison."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Led's face:

"So, Connor Trunner is the murderer behind this arson case."

"No, he's just the person who made the Molotov cocktails."

Luo An shook his head, pointing to the few completed Molotov cocktails on the ground and the remaining materials:

"Judging by the leftover materials here, he must have made several more Molotov cocktails, but they are not here now.

So, Connor Trunner must have an accomplice."

Led's smile froze on his face, and just as he was about to say something, Reesi suddenly walked in through the container door.

"You're right."

Handing her laptop to Led, Reesi indicated that Luo An had her check the surveillance earlier and indeed found something:

"Besides Connor Trunner, another person wearing a hoodie often came to this container and took several boxes away.

But the person was always wearing a mask, and it's impossible to see their face clearly in the footage."

Looking at the dark surveillance video on the computer, Led's brows were tightly furrowed. Luo An thought for a moment and then asked:

"What about the surveillance outside the warehouse? Did you capture how the person left here?"

"We did capture that."

Reesi nodded, bringing up another segment of surveillance video, showing the hooded person opening a white sedan and driving away.

"Have William investigate this car's license plate."

Stowing the laptop back into Led's arms, Luo An strode out of the container:

"Also, back to the Fifth Investigation Team, interrogate Connor Trunner!"
