Taking the folder handed over by Michelle, Luo An opened it.
The judgment of the Forensic Science Division aligned with Luo An's previous judgment—the cause of death for Sande Jisi was indeed the two 9mm bullets to the chest.
The Forensic Science Division also performed ballistic testing on the two bullets and discovered that the gun used by the perpetrator was not listed in the FBI's internal database nor was it in any commercial gun sales records; it was an unregistered gun making its first appearance.
However, the Forensic Science Division has already entered this gun's data into the FBI's internal database, so they have the opportunity to catch the person should this gun be used again.
"Right, in the victim's chest area of the clothing, the Forensic Science Division found this item."
Michelle took out a small transparent evidence bag from her pocket, which contained several blood-stained headshots.
Luo An took a look at the photos, unsurprisingly, the person in them was a pretty Caucasian girl.
Beside him, after seeing the face in the picture, Reesi smirked and said:
"It really is a photo that matches Sande Jisi's persona."
Upon hearing this, Luo An then handed the photo back to Michelle:
"Log into the FBI's internal database, and check the identity of this girl."
Michelle took the photo and began to investigate while Mona, who had been busy for a while, spoke up:
"I'm about done looking."
Luo An and Reesi immediately gathered around Mona:
"What's the situation with those assault cases?"
"There are 19 recorded assault cases related to Sande Jisi in the FBI and LAPD databases.
As for the ones Sande Jisi silenced with money, I can't access those."
Mona brought the details of the cases to their attention, explaining:
"These are the names and identities of the nineteen victims.
There's a common theme in their narratives, and that is Sande Jisi always used something in their drinks to force them against their will."
As she mentioned this, Mona's face showed disdain, she really despised Sande Jisi's conduct.
Another female, Reesi, also wore a look of contempt.
Luo An was a bit puzzled, not quite understanding why Sande Jisi would do this.
All these nineteen women mentioned, before being mistreated, they had dated Sande Jisi for a while.
Without using any substances, Sande Jisi likely could still achieve his goal, after all, very few women can reject the advances of a billionaire.
So why would Sande Jisi do that?
Strange fetish, maybe?
"I don't understand the world of the wealthy."
Shaking his head to throw off the thought, Luo An asked:
"Among these nineteen victims, is there anyone who has worked in the federal army, law enforcement, or been involved in any sports related to firearms?"
Mona said as she continued typing on the keyboard, while on the other side, Michelle raised her hand:
"Vice Captain Luo An, I found out the identity of the girl in the photo."
Luo An immediately turned around:
"What's the specific situation of the girl?"
"The girl's name is Lexi, she's 23 years old."
Michelle brought up the girl's information on the computer desktop and explained:
"The data shows she is from Arizona, and currently works in an upscale restaurant in Hollywood, attending some performance classes on weekends, seemingly a girl preparing to make a career in Hollywood."
"A very ambitious young lady."
Luo An admired this girl's spirit, but wasn't very optimistic about her future.
As a world-class cinema hub, Hollywood has countless girls like Lexi chasing fame every year, yet very few succeed.
After all, Hollywood is utterly dominated by the powerful and patriarchal entities, and it's virtually impossible for women to achieve their goals solely through hard work without giving something else in return.
Hearing Luo An's comment about Lexi, Michelle nodded, then added:
"Sande Jisi's credit card shows that he had dinner with Lexi thirty minutes before he was murdered."
Luo An patted Reesi on the arm, asking her to fetch some equipment, then turned to Mona and asked:
"How's your investigation going?"
"I'm currently investigating each of the nineteen victims' life stories."
Mona took a sip of coffee and casually said:
"Give me five more minutes."
"Take your time, no rush."
Luo An refilled Mona's coffee cup and then left the Special Investigation Team with Reesi:
"We'll go have a chat with the beautiful Miss Lexi, see what she has to say about Sande Jisi, who liked to abuse women."
Los Angeles, Hollywood area, a high-end restaurant.
"Sande is a gentleman!"
Upon learning Luo An and Reesi's identities, and the purpose of their visit, Lexi, dressed as a waiter but still unable to hide her excellent physique and beautiful face, immediately gave Sande Jisi the highest praise:
"He is the most outstanding man I have ever met!"
Looking at this young girl with sparkling eyes, Luo An and Reesi felt a twinge in their teeth.
From appearances alone, Sande Jisi was well-dressed and had a rugged face, indeed very handsome.
After contemplating for a while, Reesi briefly explained that Sande Jisi had been murdered and his past of abusing women.
To Luo An and Reesi's surprise, Lexi's expression did not change upon hearing this news; she was neither shocked nor showed any other emotion.
"I already saw the news of Sande Jisi's murder on TV."
Lexi shrugged, a billionaire shot to death, and the fervent Los Angeles media wouldn't miss this kind of news.
Luo An and Reesi had arrived at the crime scene not long ago, and this news had already topped Hollywood news media and quickly became known throughout Los Angeles.
As for Lexi's first explanation, Reesi nodded, choosing to believe it, and then asked:
"What about the news of Sande Jisi abusing women? Did you know about that?"
Lexi stated that having been in Hollywood for so long, she had her sources, and she was well aware of Sande Jisi's abusive behavior long ago.
However, Lexi didn't care about this knowledge, because Sande Jisi told her those women were trying to scam money from him and were spreading rumors to falsely accuse him.
"Do you believe Sande Jisi's explanation?"
Lexi tilted her head back:
"Of course! He's a single billionaire; of course, women would want to take advantage of him."
"So you're not afraid that Sande Jisi might be lying, and might one day target and abuse you?"
Lexi spread her hands:
"If he is sincere, I'll have the chance to leave this restaurant later.
If he's lying and really abuses me, I can just sue him and make him pay me a lot of money.
Either way, I don't lose."
Hearing Lexi's well-reasoned and articulate response left Reesi speechless, and even the usually silent Luo An was exasperated.
Obviously, thriving in Hollywood for so long and doing well meant not being a simple character; they had underestimated their opponent.
Without further ado, Luo An directly asked:
"Given your frequent interaction with Sande Jisi recently, did anything unusual happen with him during this period? Like being nervous or anxious?"
"Well, there was indeed one thing."
