Chapter 1190 The Stolen Goods that Were "Donated" (Double the Monthly Tickets Requested)

Along Interstate 20, the three came to a small town called Heflin. After seeing the thriving scene of Maggrave Town, the sense of desolation here was even more obvious.

Even when driving through the center of the town, they saw no more than a handful of living people. If a zombie crisis occurred, the southern state of the United States would definitely be a good survival base.

A state police car took the FBI to the scene of the crime. The body had been taken away, leaving only a Volvo VNL long-head truck with a shiny chrome grille on the front.

Compared with the relatively cramped flat-head truck, the American heavy truck with a big nose is naturally much more beautiful, and because the engine is front-mounted, the noise is not easy to affect the cab.

And because of the large front section of the front, it is equivalent to a natural energy absorption buffer, which greatly improves the safety of truck drivers.

Thanks to the unique vastness and sparse population of the Great Plains of North America, the turning radius of long-head trucks is too large, and the problem of poor front vision has become a minor problem.

Long-distance driving requires a high level of comfort in the cab, and the spacious space of the long-head truck is particularly friendly to big people with long arms and legs.

Therefore, whenever the command vehicle of the wanted criminal team goes out, everyone takes turns driving, after all, no one can resist the temptation of driving a big truck.

After checking the trailer towed behind the truck, Aubrey found a set of footprints in it. After excluding the shoe prints of the Bodette couple through photos, Jack sent it back to Alice.

"This is an almost new Volvo VNL760, the price is not less than 170,000 US dollars." Clay said meaningfully.

Jack nodded to show that he understood, "Let Alice check their bank accounts carefully, and we will ask if there are people who know this couple on this transportation route."

After asking the state police to take them to the parking lot where the dashcam was turned off, the three of them walked around for a long time before finding a surveillance camera that was still working properly.

Aubrey went to the parking lot office to ask for the video, while Jack and Clay walked around and walked into a bar next to the rest area.

The bartender was a black girl with dreadlocks, and she recognized the photo of the Bodettes on Jack's phone at a glance.

"Yes, I saw them last night." The female bartender muttered while wiping the cup, "Maybe I've seen them before, but I don't remember much, but that old woman last night gave me a reason to remember her."

"What do you mean?" Jack took out $20 but only asked for a glass of ice water, which immediately made the female bartender open up, "Because she was stupid enough to quarrel with someone over playing darts, and someone said she cheated."

"Fight with someone over playing darts? What kind? Is it serious?" Jack motioned for her to talk in detail.

"It was just a quarrel. In my opinion, it was nothing more than a drunk who didn't want to lose to a woman, probably that kind." The female bartender's voice was quite loud, and she woke up an old black man who was dozing on the bar next to him.

"Are you talking about 'Rib' and 'Elmer' last night?"

Jack showed him his phone screen. The black old man took a look and said "Ahaha" in a long tone, "Yes, it's them."

"So 'Rib' and 'Elmer' are their nicknames? How did they come from?" Jack wanted to get closer, but he was almost choked to death by the smell of alcohol on the other person.

The black old man just laughed, but his eyes did not leave the empty cup that Jack had just put down. Just half a minute ago, there was a $20 bill under the cup.

Since he accidentally revealed his "wealth", Jack was too lazy to use his identity as a federal agent to pressure others, and waved to the bartender for another glass of whiskey.

The black old man really knew the couple's situation. "'Ribs' is because Teddy's ribs taste good, and after the 1980s, that guy got so fat that his ribs were invisible.

And the reason why he called his wife 'Elmer' is ostensibly because of the cartoon "Rabbit Run", but in fact it's because of 'Elmer' glue."

Jack thought for a while before he realized that the villain who always opposed Bugs Bunny in the cartoon "Rabbit Run" was called Elmer Fudd, and as for glue, etc.

"Are you saying she has dirty hands?"

"Petite theft, cheating, that's about it. Why are you asking about them? Are you police?" The black old man drank the whiskey in two gulps, showing a gloating look.

Clay lifted his T-shirt to reveal the pistol and badge on his belt, "Almost, we are the FBI, and they were killed last night."

"Damn it, how is it possible?" The old man's flexible tongue quickly rolled over a series of southern slangs, and his bloodshot eyes almost popped out.

"I just saw them last night."

"So you were almost the last person to see them." Jack waved to the female bartender who also showed a surprised expression to give him another drink and continued to ask.

"How about talking to us in detail about them?"

The old man made a cross on his chest and took another sip to calm down before saying, "There's not much to talk about. They are both the kind of people who don't follow the rules.

A correct version in 1619, 1 book, 1 bar!

Drowsy driving and malicious price-cutting are the norm, as well as some other illegal things."

"Does it include smuggling some contraband?" Clay asked.

"I don't know, maybe." The black old man shrugged slightly.

"The video of the parking lot has been sent to Alice. Although the Volvo VNL760 was captured, Alice said it is not recommended to have too high expectations.

In addition to the poor angle, it was also because it was night, and the picture resolution was not very good. I was thankful that I could recognize the license plate."

Aubrey, who was holding a mobile phone, just met the two at the door of the bar and gave them bad news.

"Have the stolen goods been confirmed?" Jack asked.

"It's mainly tablets, at least 200 of them, they're not cheap and easy to sell, that seems to explain everything."

Aubrey frowned as he spoke, "But the strange thing is that there are obviously high-value goods such as mobile phones, LCD TVs and hard drives in the car."

While he was talking, his phone rang again, this time it was a text message, after reading it, Aubrey's expression became a little interesting, "It was forwarded by Alice, she said that the Blue Springs Town Police Station not far from here just received news that the stolen laptops were found.

The local elementary school principal called the police and said that someone left 8 boxes of brand new tablets at their door, a total of more than 200 tablets."
