New Situation

In the office, Lacey was contacting the New York Police Department. Mona was sitting at the side, drinking coffee and resting. Roan was checking the surveillance video on the computer again and again.

Ryder was still bitterly asking for clues in Lower Manhattan.

"Did you find any clues?"

After finishing her coffee, Mona walked back to her seat. She looked around and asked,"

"By the way, where's my laptop?"

Darren smashed it just now.

Roan raised his eyebrows and did not answer Mona's question. He pointed at the surveillance video on the computer and asked, "Mona, I just found that the surveillance video shows that within ten minutes before and after the man in black disappeared, only three cars passed by this block. Can you find the identity of the owners of the three cars?"

Mona's attention was diverted by Roan's words. She lowered her head and looked at the blurry license plate number on the computer. Mona looked troubled.

"Let me try."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Roan hurriedly stood up and gave his seat to Mona. At this moment, Lacey had also finished her call and walked over.

"I've already contacted the patrol. They'll reply to me in half an hour."

Seeing Mona's fingers dancing on the keyboard again, Lacey asked, "Do you have any clues?"

"No, it's just a vague idea.""

Roan sat back down on his chair, rubbing his temples and closing his eyes to rest.

"There are apartments on both sides of Sabrina's apartment street. There are no small roads at all. If the man in black want to leave that street, it's impossible for him not to pass by the bakery on both sides of the street."

"That's right."

Lacey nodded, agreeing with Roan. Roan continued, "So the msn in black either did not leave the street or hid in an apartment on both sides of the street. Or they changed their appearance in a way that we don't know yet and left the street. Therefore, driving away was definitely a good way."

"I found out, Roan."

The typing stopped, and Mona's voice was very happy. "The quality of the cameras in the two bakeries is pretty good. I can barely see the license plates of the three cars. I've already found the information of the owners of the three cars."

"Oh?"

When Lacey heard this, she hurriedly went to the computer. However, Roan did not go over. Instead, he asked,

"Are the owners male or female?"

"The owners are two men and one woman."

Lacey looked at the message that popped up on the computer and read, "One of the men is a lawyer who lives on that street. The other man was a supermarket manager, and the remaining woman was a newspaper reporter."

A lawyer, a manager, a reporter…

Roan asked, "Can you see that the driver in the video is the owner himself?"

Looking at the blurred image on the computer, the corner of Lacey's mouth twitched. "It's impossible to see clearly. It seems that the cameras used by these two bakeries are very old and have only been connected to the Internet recently."

Seeing that Roan had lowered his head and was deep in thought, Lacey thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to contact the New York police again and ask them to send a few patrolmen to these three people's houses to check them out?"

"No."

Roan shook his head. The New York Police Department was not run by them. How could they let them do all the work?

It was a small matter if he did not put in any effort. It would be even more troublesome if he alerted the enemy.

Who knew if the man in black would choose to kill Sabrina in a moment of desperation?

"Wait a minute."

Just as Roan was considering which of the three to prioritize, Mona's fearful voice was heard.

"Come and take a look. I just checked the news agency that the female reporter works for. They announced last week that she had been fired because the female reporter had been missing for a week!"

"F*ck!"

Lacey hurriedly turned to look at the missing person notice on the computer and said in surprise, "Last week's announcement, the reporter went missing for a week for no reason…This female reporter had disappeared for three weeks? Then who was driving the car yesterday?"

Seeing the announcement on the computer, Roan immediately stood up and asked,"

"Where is the female reporter's home?"

"In Queens District!"

...

7.00 PM, in an apartment building in Queens District.

Roan took the elevator with Lacey and a few patrolmen sent by Lacey's acquaintances in the New York Police Department.

Seeing that Lacey and a female police officer had agreed to go shopping together after the matter was over, Roan's expression was stiff.

If he did not guess wrongly, Roan felt that Lacey's so-called acquaintance in the police station was definitely a woman.

The human heart was no longer ancient, and the morals of the world were declining day by day!

In his heart, he criticized Lacey for playing around. However, on second thought, Roan realized that he could do the same. He was not much worse off than Lacey…

Ding!

The elevator door slowly opened. Roan immediately threw the messy thoughts in his mind to the side and took out a Glock 18. Then, under the astonished gazes of Lacey and the other policemen, he took out a stun grenade.

"..."

Roan shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he lacked a sense of security. Then, he led the group out of the elevator.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a loud knock on the door and a man's shout. Roan and Lacey looked at each other and hurriedly slowed down their footsteps.

"Serena? Serena, are you there?"

At the door of the female reporter's rented house, a middle-aged white man in a brown leather jacket was knocking crazily on the door.

"Serena, I heard that you were fired..."

"Don't move!"

Seeing that the man was knocking on the door of their target room, Roan and Lacey immediately raised their guns to restrain him.

"Raise your hands and don't do anything unnecessary!"

"Hey! Hey! Don't misunderstand! I'm not a thief!"

Joseph Smith was shocked when he saw the fully armed Roan and his men. He quickly raised his hands and shouted, "My name is Joseph, and I'm a reporter. My driver's license is in the right pocket of my jacket! Don't shoot!"

Roan walked forward and took out the driver's license from Joseph's pocket. He looked through it briefly and handed it to the patrol officers behind him to check if the driver's license was real or fake. Then, he searched Joseph's body and asked, "Why are you looking for Serena?"

"She and I used to be business partners."

Seeing that Joseph did not have any dangerous items on him, Roan waved his hand to signal for Lacey and the others to put down their guns. Seeing this, Joseph heaved a sigh of relief and explained,

"I heard a few days ago that Serena was fired by the newspaper office, so I wanted to come over and ask her if she wanted to rejoin my team."

Ignoring Joseph's explanation, Roan handed him over to the patrol officers and temporarily stopped him from leaving. He also sent Joseph's information to Mona, asking her to do a simple check on Joseph.

Following that, Roan and Lacey stood on both sides of the door. After counting down from three, they kicked the door open.

"FBI! Open up!"

The two of them quickly checked every room to make sure that there was no one in each room.

"It's safe!"

"It's safe!"

There was no one in the medium-sized apartment. Roan and Lacey looked at each other and put down the guns in their hands. Lacey sighed.

"Looks like we're a step too late."
