Chapter 29

"Emma Christina, 19 years old, female college student, disappeared a month ago. Her dormitory roommate reported the case three weeks ago. The police have filed a case, but her whereabouts have not been found."  

"Have you revealed the name of the hijacker?"

  Hannah shook her head: "The victim didn't know where she was being held. After escaping, she kept running because of emotional stress until she was exhausted." "Until

  you ran her over with your car? "Detective Mota refused to give up, looking like a bitch.

  Jack quickly put his arm around Hannah to prevent her from acting impulsively.

  "It was an accident. No one along the way was willing to lend a helping hand to this poor child. When she saw the police car, her first reaction was to rush up and ask for help. She fell in front of the car entirely because she was exhausted."

  Jack emphasized his tone when he spoke, feeling in his heart He had a bit more contempt for this police detective. Perhaps apart from the plot characters he knew, the Detective Mota in front of him represented the real side of the police in the beautiful country.

  The female police detective Peggy may have liked the young and handsome Jack, but she also stopped her partner from being rude again.

  "We will step up our search for the hijacker's residence. Did you ask for any clues just now?"

  Hannah glanced at Superintendent Gray beside her, whispered a few words to him, and then nodded to Jack.

  Jack handed over his notepad: "These are some details provided by the victim. This child is very calm and sensible. If you need anything else from us, please feel free to ask." "

  Go to the neighborhood to check and wait for us to confirm the specific address."

  "That's settled," Superintendent Gray said.

  "I will arrange for three police patrol cars to work in shifts all night, including Hannah and Jack."

  "Roger, Jack, let's go." Hannah turned and left without saying a word, obviously facing the bald and fat man in front of her. Patience has reached its limit.

——Dividing

  line-——

  "Let's eat something first. It's already afternoon and you need to replenish your strength."

  It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Jack handed the heated food box in his hand to Hannah in the car. It's the soup dumplings he made last night.

  Hannah put down the walkie-talkie in her hand, carefully bit the skin, and took a sip of the delicious soup. She found that it was not very hot, so she finished one in two mouthfuls and let out a satisfied sigh.

  "I have asked Tim to help find the suspect's address through his connections in the detective bureau. Superintendent Gray has also reported the situation. Once we have the specific address, we don't need to wait for the crime team. The court will directly issue the search warrant. Send it to us."

  Jack also picked up a soup bag and swallowed it in one gulp. He was already starving. After his physique exceeded 20, his exercise intensity skyrocketed, and his food intake also increased accordingly.

  "I have a question, why doesn't the Crime Squad pay so much attention to this case of missing minors?"

  Hannah replied while wolfing down the food.

  "Do you know how many missing people there are in this country every year? Nearly 100,000 people! As of last year, there were a total of more than 800,000 people who had been missing for investigation without making any progress. Among them, the case of missing minors is particularly serious."

  See Jack's mouth fell open in disbelief as she continued.

  "In densely populated areas like Los Angeles, there are cases of missing children almost every day, but how many times have you heard the [Amber Alert]? The conditions for issuing the [Amber Alert] are quite strict. In a case like Carla's, as long as the bald guy The police detective insisted that there was insufficient evidence and it was impossible to release it."

  "Okay, pretend I didn't ask." Jack sighed in his heart about the dire straits of the people in the beautiful country, and he and Hannah snatched the soup dumplings in the food box.

  "But I don't understand. Kara was running barefoot on the street risking her life, and passers-by turned a blind eye?"

  Hannah shrugged, pointing to a few passers-by in strange clothes on the street.

  "This is Los Angeles."

  Jack was still a little confused, but after thinking about it, he didn't continue to ask. Maybe the kidnapping case was really just a matter of this country, or maybe it was a daily routine in this world.

  At this time Tim's voice came from the intercom.

  "Hannah, Jack, we found the identity and address of the suspect, Angus Lucius, male, 47 years old, former Marine, living at 2699 Pickford Street, John and Angela led the search Ling is leaving from the police station."

  Hannah struggled to swallow the food in her mouth and picked up the walkie-talkie: "It should be about three blocks away from where we met the victim. We are the closest and will arrive in 5 minutes. "    

  Jack quickly threw the food box into the trunk, got into the driver's seat and started the police car, sounding the siren and speeding towards the destination.

  Three minutes later, Jack turned off the siren, reduced the speed of the car, turned the corner at normal patrol speed, and drove slowly through Pickford Street. Hannah looked at the map and inspected the surrounding houses.

  "The gray bungalow with the red brick roof is right here."

  Jack looked in the direction directed by Hannah and found that the doors and windows of the house were closed and the parking lot in front of the door was empty. He felt a bad premonition in his heart. , they may be late.

  After waiting for less than 10 minutes, Tim and Lucy's police car arrived first, followed closely by Angela and John's police car who went to get the search warrant, still commanded by the veteran Tim.

  "Angela and John are outflanking the back door, Lucy and I are covering from the side, Hannah and Jack are breaking through the front door, you two be careful."

  Everyone nodded, because according to the victim's description, the suspect held multiple weapons, and everyone Bringing the rifle, Jack held an Ithaca-12 shotgun loaded with a special [breaching bullet].

  The others were all holding M16s, worried that the suspect would take hostages. As Hannah shouted: "LAPD, open the door!"

  Jack shot directly and broke the door lock. Hannah behind him kicked the door open, and everyone filed out. Enter and clean house by house.

  "No one!"

  "No one!"

  "No one!"

  Jack's premonition came true. Angus Lucius ran away without packing his things after discovering that Carla had escaped. Tim found the entrance to the basement, but There was nothing inside except a foul smell.

  "Hey guys, come over here and see what I found."

  John's voice came from the bedroom. Jack walked into the room and saw an open collection box containing various women's accessories and underwear.

  Tim turned on the ultraviolet light mode of the flashlight. Under the ultraviolet light, the spots of body fluid residue on his underwear were clearly visible.

  "These underwear come in several sizes, and there are more victims!"

  Lucy exclaimed, and the faces of everyone present became extremely ugly, especially the two female police officers Angela and Hannah.

  Tim glanced at everyone and nodded to Jack.

  "Jack and I went to the backyard to take a look, while the others continued to search for clues. We need to find the whereabouts of the suspect as soon as possible. The girl named Emma does not have much time. Once the suspect thinks he is safe, he is likely to kill and silence him."
