"Group Leader Greenwood, there's something I need to remind you."

Lawyer Martin, looking at the documents in Luo An's hands, became very alert and said solemnly:

"Since you took my client here last night, 15 hours have passed, and there are still..."

"About 9 hours left, I know."

Luo An waved his hand to interrupt Lawyer Martin, closed the folder in his hands, looked at Aden Crane, and smiled:

"Indeed, the time is a bit short, but don't rush, because from now on, time is no longer important."

Lawyer Martin's expression stiffened, and he said:

"Group Leader Greenwood, I must remind you, to intimidate my client, you..."

"The first thing, mobile phones."

Before Lawyer Martin could finish, Luo An took out several photos and papers on his own and placed them on the interrogation table, saying:

"We found eight mobile phones in the safe of the villa near the park.

According to the investigation, these mobile phones belong to the victims, and the test report shows that, apart from the victims' fingerprints, there are more fingerprints of yours, Aden Crane."

"..."

Lawyer Martin's words halted, and, looking at the photos on the table, he immediately turned his gaze towards Aden Crane sitting beside him.

Aden Crane's face was expressionless, but Luo An noticed that the other's eyeball movement frequency had increased significantly, and the "emotional perception" found that his negative emotions had obviously begun to increase.

Lawyer Martin started to converse quietly with Aden Crane, seeing this, Luo An coughed lightly, picked up the photos of several victims on the table, and moved them to the top, calmly saying:

"Additionally, there's good news.

Through the diligent efforts of my agents, we have successfully persuaded several relatives and friends of the victims not only to agree to testify in court but also to help match the similarity between Mr. Crane's voice and the murderer's."

Upon hearing Luo An's words, Aden Crane's expression looked even uglier, and Lawyer Martin's face also darkened.

Seeing Lawyer Martin's grim expression, Chenier felt a slight satisfaction in her heart, Luo An blinked his eyes and added:

"By the way, to prevent these witnesses from being 'shot in the back and committing suicide,' my agents have already taken them to a safe place, Mr. Crane, you can rest assured."

"%￥#*..."

Aden Crane's face turned sullen, his eyebrows twitching, cursing Luo An in his heart, but still clenched his teeth and kept silent.

Lawyer Martin also looked uneasy; he had heard of Luo An's reputation and guessed Luo An must have had some clues in his hands, but he never imagined Luo An had already amassed so much evidence.

After pondering for a few seconds, Lawyer Martin looks at Luo An, saying:

"Group Leader Greenwood, I request a few minutes to discuss privately with my client."

"Granted."

Just as Chenier was about to speak, Luo An pressed down her arm and nodded in agreement.

Turning off the surveillance temporarily and stepping out of the interrogation room, just before the door closed, Luo An patted the documents Mona had brought him and smiled at Lawyer Martin, whispering:

"Do persuade your employer well, I still have evidence here.

Admitting early, when the judge evaluates him later, he might receive a 'cooperated with the investigation' commendation.

Otherwise, having 'uncooperative, resistant to investigation' appear in the case file would not be good for him."

Luo An seemingly "lowered" his voice, and although he spoke only to Lawyer Martin, given the size of the interrogation room and the proximity of Lawyer Martin and Aden Crane, Aden Crane heard every word clearly, his face growing even uglier.

Luo An chuckled, exited the interrogation room as the door closed, Lawyer Martin took a deep breath, turned his head to Aden Crane, and said sternly:

"Aden, from now on, you must tell me everything about this case!"

A few minutes later, Lawyer Martin knocked on the door to signal Luo An and Chenier to return to the interrogation room, entering the room, Luo An didn't sit down and directly asked:

"So, will you keep silent?"

"No."

Lawyer Martin shook his head, turning his gaze to Aden Crane, Aden Crane took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"I admit, I committed two of the murders."

"Two?"

Hearing this number, Chenier immediately widened her eyes, her face full of anger, Luo An remained very calm and asked:

"Are you sure?"

Without waiting for Aden Crane to speak, Luo An shook the folder in his hand and said:

"Mr. Crane, I acknowledge your caution. But you have a PhD in finance, not in criminology.

The information I have indicates that you have killed at least 10 victims.

If you only admit to 2 cases, then the other 8+2 murder cases..."

"I..."

Aden Crane's eyes flickered, his throat moved, Luo An lightly coughed and pulled out another piece of paper, saying:

"Additionally, think about your family.

Behavior Analysis has already completed the psychological analysis, which shows your relation to your daughter…"

"Stop!"

Lawyer Martin was just about to speak when Aden Crane suddenly shouted, slamming down on the interrogation table:

"I admit it, I am the murderer behind the serial killings!"

Lawyer Martin's complexion changed drastically, Luo An squinted his eyes, quickly asking:

"Did you kill all twelve victims?"

"Yes!"

"OK, thank you for your cooperation."

The rapid Q&A between Luo An and Aden Crane didn't leave any room for Lawyer Martin to interject.

Hearing Aden Crane confess to everything, Lawyer Martin instantly covered his eyes, his efforts wasted.

After a brief conversation, Aden Crane was taken away by Winslow and Reesi, sent to a temporary detention prison. Lawyer Martin stood in the corridor, watching Aden Crane's retreating figure for a few seconds, then turned to glance at Luo An and said emotionlessly:

"True to Group Leader Greenwood, very impressive methods."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Luo An grinned and once again extended his right hand to Lawyer Martin.

This time, Lawyer Martin did not refuse and, although he hesitated momentarily, still shook hands with Luo An, then turned and walked away.

"I hate that guy."

As the elevator doors closed, and Lawyer Martin's figure disappeared, Chenier said with a displeased face:

"Conceited and self-righteous."

"After all, he's a lawyer from New York, the higher their status, the more they are like that."

Luo An chuckled and patted Chenier's shoulder, then turned and walked back, with Chenier quickly following, asking:

"What was in the documents that Mona just brought to you?"

The matters about the phone and the witness were confirmed before the interrogation began, Chenier knew this.

But she had no idea about Mona delivering documents halfway.

"It's a forensic report on a few strands of hair."

Luo An smiled, handed the file to Chenier, briefly mentioned the washing machine, then explained:

"Aden Crane is cautious, he cleaned the crime scene very well, you can hardly find his hair on the corpses.

But don't forget one thing, aside from Aden Crane leaving hair on the victims, conversely, the victims' hair can also be left on Aden Crane.

All those victims were women, and women unknowingly shedding a few strands of hair is far more likely than men."

Chenier suddenly realized and said:

"Every time after committing the murder, Aden Crane would make calls at that park, and also wash himself and his clothes in that villa!"

"Nowadays, people rarely hand-wash their clothes, most use washing machines."

Luo An said smiling:

"And with washing machines, something always remains after draining, like hair."

Luo An felt deeply about this, having lived with Mona for so long, he always sees lots of long hair at the bottom of the washing machine each time before doing laundry.

"You're right!"

Chenier, being a woman, nodded repeatedly, something men wouldn't pay attention to, but something that most women are bothered by.

Walking into the office area, Chenier said:

"Aden Crane is a PhD in finance and a partner in a company, hasn't touched the kitchen or done housework for decades, knowing how to use the laundry machine is already something.

He wouldn't care about the filter at the back of the washing machine, perhaps he didn't even know about it.

And with every wash, those women's hair stuck inside, staying up until now."

"That's it."

In the office area, Mona chuckled and said:

"Forensic Scientists located hair from exactly 6 different women in that pile of black stuff Luo An brought back yesterday."

"Only 6?"

Chenier was surprised, looking at Luo An:

"So what you just said…"

Luo An grinned, just about to explain, when suddenly his phone rang.

Pressing the answer button, Vireness's voice came through, asking:

"Luo An, was there a female journalist looking for you yesterday?"
