Chapter 290

305 Ibanez neighborhood.

Henry Rogers’ house.

Because of a phone call from his wife, Henry stayed up all night.

It was only at five or six o’clock in the morning that he got a little bit of sleep in a daze.

He had been thinking about whether his wife’s call at this hour could be a trap set by the police.

He recalled his previous actions and did not feel any obvious omissions, so it was reasonable that the police should not have found out about him.

But he was still a little unsettled.

What should be thought of, Henry has thought of, can only take a step and see what happens, even if he knows that there is danger, he does not want to give up this opportunity.

Divorce is the last chance.

Henry washed his face and drove out.

Shortly after, a car quietly followed, and in the car sat Luke and Jackson.

Luke pulled out his walkie-talkie and said, “Guys, the target is driving out the door, everyone execute option one.”

“Copy that.”

“Roger.”

The crowd responded one after another.

Luke put down the walkie-talkie and reminded Jackson, “Don’t follow too closely, it’s best to space out a few cars, rather lose than wake up.”

Jackson let off the gas and asked, “Captain, where do you think he’s going with this?”

“I don’t know, but it’s likely that the call last night did the trick.”

Luke kept communicating over the intercom and after three intersections, Jackson hit the right turn and the car pulled into the other lane.

Ramon and Jenny drove up to follow.

Luke was careful and kept changing tracking vehicles, alternating between them.

After driving a few blocks, Henry pulled into a hardware mart.

Labor is more expensive in the United States, housing is larger, and most of them are wooden structures that often need to be repaired, so most men are more hands-on, and they keep a complete set of hardware tools in their garage, which has led to a thriving hardware industry in the U.S., creating a sizable market size.

Blackie entered the hardware supermarket responsible for continuing to track ……

“Buzz ……”

Luke’s cell phone rang, and when he tapped on the comms chat group, Blackie sent a photo.

In the photo, Henry was picking out a saw by the shelves.

Jackson looked at the photo as well, “He took the bait?”

Luke didn’t answer, after looking at the photo he instead had a bad feeling and took out his walkie-talkie, “Marcus, abandon tracking.

Everyone abandon option one.

Stay put.”

Jackson was puzzled, “Captain, what did you find out?”

Luke shook his head, “There’s no problem …… it just feels too smooth.”

Luke and Henry had not been masked, but the two sides were considered to have been friends of God for a long time, Henry might be mentally unbalanced on occasion, but for the most part he was a cautious, cunning guy who was harder to deal with than any of the suspects he had seen before, and it was unlikely that he would be disoriented just because of a single phone call.

To put it bluntly, Luke hadn’t finished his combo yet, and didn’t believe that the other guy would fall apart so quickly, and even if he did, it wouldn’t matter, he would only fall apart even more after Luke’s combo was finished.

Moreover, at this time, even if the other party is arrested, there is no point, he is buying a saw, but an unused saw obviously can not be convicted, it will only scare the snake.

Henry finished shopping at the supermarket and returned to the car with the newly purchased saw, he didn’t go home, but deliberately made a big detour.

Along the way, he kept his eyes on the cars in front and behind him and didn’t notice any suspicious people or vehicles.

Am I being paranoid?

The police didn’t check me out?

Then why did Marta suddenly call for a divorce?

Henry began to dwell on this question again.

Back home, Henry couldn’t resist dialing Marta’s cell phone number, however, the phone went straight to voicemail, “Hi, this is Marta, leave a message.”

“FUCK!”

Henry didn’t like this passive feeling, he was the one who should be in control of the situation.

“Why have you all abandoned me, mom, Marta ……

What did I do wrong ……”

The minutes ticked by and it was dark outside.

Henry, also hungry, took a sandwich and a can of milk out of the refrigerator and took a big bite.

“Ringing ……”

Just then, Henry’s cell phone rang, it was Marta’s cell phone number, he hurriedly pressed the answer button, “Marta, why didn’t you answer my call?”

“SORRY, I’m a little busy today.”

“When are you going to file for divorce?”

“I have an appointment with my lawyer for the day after tomorrow, do you have time?”

“No problem, let’s make the appointment for the day after tomorrow.

Let me know when you’ve bought your ticket and I’ll pick you up at the airport.”

“Hey Henry, that won’t be necessary.”

“Marta, we’re getting divorced and this will likely be the last time we see each other.

It’s not too much to ask that I wish to have dinner with you and talk about the kids.”

“Henry, did you misunderstand, I didn’t say I was going back to LA.”

“Then what do you mean?

You’re the one who said you wanted a divorce, now you’re telling me you’re not coming back, are you playing me?”

“I’m not fooling you, I did say I wanted a divorce, and I also contacted an attorney in Los Angeles and entrusted her with full authority to handle it for me.

I’ve communicated with her, the procedure is very simple, I don’t need to go back to LA.”

Henry froze for a moment and said in annoyance, “FUCK!, you’re just messing with me.

I’ve been waiting for you, I even got you a gift, and now you’re talking about letting a bullshit lawyer help with the process, you have no respect for me.”

“SORRY, I didn’t mean it like that and I don’t want to argue with you.

The only reason I’m not going back is because I’m worried about you like this ……

You’re forty years old, you should learn to control your temper ……”

Henry interrupted the other man, “I don’t need you to teach me that.

Look, I’m not going to agree to a divorce if you don’t come back.”

“Henry, we’ve been separated for two months now and my attorney will file for divorce whether you agree or not.

You’ll meet someone better ……,” Marta grunted softly before the words were finished.

“Paul, hold on, I’m on the phone ……”

Henry vaguely heard the voice and questioned, “Who’s Paul? Who are you talking to?

Tell me, are you looking for another man behind my back?”

“Henry, you don’t have to get excited, it’s just the neighbor who helped fix the fence.

I’d like you to think about the divorce a little more calmly, later, my lawyer will ……”

Henry hung up his cell phone straight away, this wasn’t right, it wasn’t at all what he expected.

Yesterday received Marta’s phone call, Henry was excited inside, the other party said that he wanted a divorce, Henry’s heart grew cold, but did not get too excited, because he had already guessed this result.

As long as Marta returned to Los Angeles to divorce, he had a way to keep the other party, so that she would never leave himself.

However, the cautious character that had been cultivated for a long time made him feel that something was not right, why would Marta suddenly call for a divorce?

He suspected that it might be a trap set by the police, that’s why he tried it in reverse today to see if someone was following him.

However, he didn’t notice anyone following him, and his suspicions were gradually dispelled.

Marta’s call just now was like muffled thunder, completely blowing him away.

Where was the trap, Marta didn’t even want to come back, his previous planning and speculations were all in vain.

He himself was a delusional fool.

All the vigilance, caution, and care meant nothing!

Ridiculous in the extreme.

Once divorced, he might lose Marta completely.

Marta had other men around her, and he could sense that it was never just a neighbor who helped fix the fence; men wouldn’t be that kind.

Now that explained why Marta suddenly wanted a divorce, because he had another man.

“FUCK! Stinking woman!

Damn woman!” Henry felt abandoned once again.

Angry!

Helplessness!

Despair!

All kinds of negative emotions piled up in his heart, and he felt like his brain was going to explode.

Nine o’clock in the evening.

Henry Rogers left home in a black pickup truck.

The pickup truck drove into the city center and parked in an unoccupied parking lot.

A few minutes later, Henry stepped out of the parking lot wearing a baseball cap and carrying a backpack, and walked along the curb toward the east side of the street, where it was dark, with no streetlights or surveillance, except for an occasional car driving by.

Henry turned into an alley and disappeared.

Ten minutes or so later, a gray Honda sedan pulled out of another exit deep in the alley.

The Honda drove along the street for a few blocks, its speed slowed down, Henry looked at the road from time to time, his eyes flashed with a stern look, like a hyena searching for prey, greedy, ferocious and cunning.

Ahead of the street side, there stood a red-haired woman with exposed clothing, showing a large area of skin.

Henry stopped the car at the curb and lowered the window, the redhead twisted her waist and came over to her, laying her hands by the window, her breasts open and visible, “Hey tough guy, looking for some fun?”

Henry gazed the woman up and down, “What’s your name?”

“Alizée.”

“Get in.”

“Ooooh, you’re still a hothead, $200 an hour.”

“No problem.”

Alizée pointed behind her, “Tough guy, there’s a condo next to me, how about we go hang out in the condo? Even save the hotel money.”

Henry took a look, “I still like going to a hotel.”

“That’s going to cost extra.”

“Why?”

“Haven’t you heard? A young girl was killed by a pervert a while back, and I heard they even cut her head off.

So we don’t usually go out now.”

Henry bristled, “How much does not usually cost?”

“Three hundred dollars an hour.

It’s a risk I’m taking at this particular time.”

“Do I look like a bad guy to you?”

“Not like a bad guy, but you have to follow the rules, that’s what my boss told me.”

“Huh ……” Henry sneered, “Deal, get in the car.”

“Tough guy, I promise you won’t regret it.”

Just at this moment, a police patrol car from the opposite side of the drive through, Henry scared a jolt, start the car, a foot throttle away.

The streetwalker also had the good sense to leave in the other direction.

The two sides of the deal broke up unhappily.

Inside the car, Henry revealed an angry look and banged the steering wheel hard.

“FUCK!

Damn LAPD, you assholes have spoiled my good deed again.”

Watching the police car passing by, Henry knew it was a false alarm, and when he thought about it, if the police were going to arrest him, they definitely wouldn’t use this way to beat the bushes, and it wouldn’t be the patrolmen who came to arrest him.

The more this happened, the more angry and depressed he became, he felt that God was against him, and the evil fire in his heart had nowhere to be sent, and he felt like he was going to blow up.

However, by the shock just now, he did not dare to commit another crime, the whole person is more and more violent and restless ……

In the distance, inside an inconspicuous black sedan.

Jackson sat in the driver’s seat and slowly started the car, “Captain, was that police car arranged by you?”

“No, it has nothing to do with our plan.” Luke guessed that Henry might make a move when he was spurred on, but had no idea where he would choose to commit the crime.

Jackson sighed, “Too bad, the guy obviously wanted to commit another crime and was scared off by that patrol car.”

“Or maybe there’s another police situation in the neighborhood.” Luke’s tone was bland, not caring.

“Captain, don’t you think it’s a shame?”

“There’s nothing to pity, Henry, though cautious and cunning, has one fatal flaw, he’s mentally unbalanced.

His reaction is pretty much what I expected, that police car just now disturbed his plans, he will only get angrier and more depressed, more irritable and prone to making mistakes.

He’ll definitely need to find a channel to vent his anger, and being frustrated over and over again will make him even more aggressive and out of control.

That was originally what we were trying to accomplish, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

“You think he’ll commit another crime?”

“Highly likely.” In Luke’s opinion, the reason why a person would have mental problems and do irrational things, the probability was the accumulation of negative emotions.

Negative emotions could lower a person’s IQ.

A gray Honda car.

Henry stepped on the gas pedal hard and gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his anger overflowing.

However, there was still a trace of sanity in his mind, and he seemed to know that his current mood was not suitable for committing another crime, or the police patrol car just now had interrupted his plan.

He drove fast, no longer looking at the side of the road, and after thirty minutes or so, he entered an industrial area and pulled into an abandoned factory.

Henry looked around and found no other vehicles.

He stepped out of the car, walked inside the factory, in an inconspicuous corner placed a broken tin bucket, Henry pushed open the tin bucket, underneath is a square stone plate.

Opening the slab, inside was an underground warehouse, Henry walked down the ladder into the warehouse and skillfully turned on the wall sconce, which had been modified with a savings battery attached to the other end.

The warehouse was very empty, only a tin cabinet was placed at the top position, Henry opened the tin cabinet, a strong smell of potion floated out.

Henry had a look of enjoyment on his face, in front of him there were four glass jars, one of them was empty, the remaining three were soaked with a woman’s head.

Lorna Post, Gretna Sweeney, and Novena Jones.

Henry took a deep breath, showing his excitement, and couldn’t help but undo his waist D.

Henry looked at the three heads as if they were three fabulous women and began to show off his talent – one hand clapping for love.

A few minutes later, Henry finished the poker game, a void hit him and his right hand went to the empty bottle.

“Marta, here’s a new home for you!”

At this moment, Henry entered the state of the sage, all negative emotions disappeared, and his brain was once again running at high speed.

He liked this state of himself, smart, wise, no distractions, a lot of things that he couldn’t think clearly would be solved at this moment.

Marta refused to come to Los Angeles, how to find her?

Even if she appoints an attorney to handle the divorce, there are some important information and documents that need to be mailed.

Mailing, will write the address, he can follow the address to find Marta.

He still had a chance ……

Henry locked the tin cabinet and climbed down the ladder to the surface, however, he had just exited the underground warehouse when he sensed something unusual.

“LAPD!”

Several strong flashlights shot over.

Henry’s pupils dilated, taken aback.

“Henry Rogers, you’re under arrest!

Hands on your head, on the ground, don’t move!” Black walked up and held him down, grabbing his right hand and trying to cuff him, “FUCK!

What’s this stuff on your hand, it’s slimy.”

Blacky cuffed the other man and sniffed his hand, the peculiar smell immediately made him understand, “FUCK!

You fucking pervert, I @#$%……”

“You fucking nigga, I didn’t ask you to arrest me, you asked for it.” The look on Henry’s face changed from confusion to anger and finally to disbelief, “How did you guys catch me?

Was all of this your plan to provoke me and make me lose my mind?”

“There’s no need to rush, we have plenty of time to talk, and I want to talk to you properly.” Luke waved his hand and let people escort him to the police car, he didn’t want to move this guy or even get too close.

Luke then led the men into the underground warehouse, when they saw the heads soaking in the iron cabinets, the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air.

Metamorphosis.

This kind of scenario had only been seen in horror movies before, and the police rarely came into contact with this kind of pervert, and it wasn’t that there weren’t any, but this kind of pervert wasn’t raised in a day, and most of them were serial killers, across cities, and even states, and most of them were handled by the FBI.

“Notify the forensics and tech teams, they’ve got their hands full!”

With, the forensic and technical teams surveying and identifying, the clues and evidence in this underground warehouse far exceeded the four previous scenes.

Each of the glass vials had the head of one of the victims soaked in formalin, and the vials had the fingerprints and DNA of the killer on them.

Henry seems to have made this place his home, without any of the caution, care, and lack of reservation he had before.

With all the evidence, even if Henry refused to say a word, his guilt was sealed.

This was the best reward for Luke and the members of the 1st Squadron who had put in a great deal of effort.

Now that they had apprehended Henry, it was no longer just for the victims, but just as much for themselves; such a pervert staying in Los Angeles was a threat to everyone.

This arrest seemed simple, even with a hint of luck, but in fact the officers behind the scenes had put in a tremendous amount of effort.

Especially Luke, as the person in charge of the case, was able to catch Henry, he did a lot of research and preparation beforehand.

Henry is considered a highly intelligent suspect with a detailed plan and scheme before committing the crime.

He did not leave any valuable evidence at the scene of the crime in the early stage, in this case, if you want to catch the other side, you have to let the other side disorganize themselves, Luke is also based on this point to plan the arrest program.

Negative emotions can affect a person’s IQ, and Henry himself is mentally unstable, negative emotions have a greater impact on him.

Henry cares most about his wife Marta, which is his weakness.

Luke begins to formulate a plan to use Marta to hit Henry emotionally, thwart his plans, and cause him to lose control of his emotions, become mentally depressed, and lower his IQ.

As soon as he makes a mistake, the time for the police to make an arrest will come.
