The investigation was not going smoothly. The staff confirmed that this car was parked here three or four days ago, but the gas station staff had no idea who the driver was. They didn't care at all; this parking lot belonged to the gas station but also allowed nearby people to park. They didn't register it at all.
The forensics team arrived quickly, and at the same time, Peter received permission to inspect the vehicle. Since the owner of the car hadn't been identified, they hadn't applied for a search warrant yet, but once permission was granted, the situation could proceed normally. Someone would take the blame.
The lock on the compartment was broken. Upon opening it, there was a faint metallic smell of blood. Sure enough, they saw dark, dried bloodstains inside the compartment.
Seeing these stains, Jimmy and his team could roughly estimate that the blood loss was very dangerous. If they didn't perform any hemostatic measures, the person's chance of survival was low.
