[You need to go back to reading from the Prologue: Smiling Block Murders if this is your first in this series]
For more than a month Ednit and LAPD in civils shadowed Rory Harrison. They were watching and waiting for him to the one mistake that would allow them to bring him in. Rory was very cautions and didn’t deviate from him mundane routing.
LAPD made unauthorized and undetectable break-in to houses belonging to him, his family and his friends hoping to find the smallest evidence that would tie him to the murders. All these breaks were to no avail and Ednit feared Rory had committed the perfect crime.
One day after almost two months of shadow games, LAPD found Rory making an unusual visit to a storage space in the farthest corner of the city. He was wearing a nervous look as he went in and went out. After almost three hours of driving across town in one direction he spent not more than three minutes in the unit. This could have been the mistake LAPD was patiently waiting for Rory to make.
With strong powers Ednit was able to obtain a warrant to search the storage unit. LAPD broke into the storage unit to find pictures, elaborate documentation recording each day of the eight victim’s lives and routing, a laptop and the murder weapon – the hunting knife that was wiped clean but had the traces of blood under the UV. Stashed away in one corner were all the victims’ belongings that he took with him after the murder. He had all their ids pinned to the wall.
The mistakes Rory made were that, he had the storage registered under his real name and he made the trip to the storage unit too soon.
