Chapter 21: Goodgirl5
Gordon didn't refute Lance's words, and rubbed his eyebrows, "Maybe so." ”
Al looked up and put the coffee on the table, "Since Garcia hasn't found any other cases similar to this one, we're looking for a suspect who 'I've never done anything like this because no one has found out'?"
"Or maybe there wasn't any suspect this time, but the kids got lost on their own?" Lance said, easily drawing everyone's attention.
"Lance, this is not the time to joke. Morgan rubbed his eyebrows.
"I know. Lance pouted, "There are too many coincidences, such as when the children went missing, or the age of the missing children, or the fact that these children all have beautiful brown hair, but there is still a chance that it will happen...... Well, I know it's impossible, but since the child's body hasn't been found, the children have assumed that they were caught by the suspect, and the better guess is that the children are now just in captivity, but the local enthusiastic police must have searched carefully before we came. ”
Red raised an eyebrow, "They didn't find anything. ”
"At the very least, it provides an approximate time for the children to go missing. Al smacked his mouth, "It's all after school, when you get home from school, but aren't there any school buses here?"
"The locals don't think they're going to see what happens to their kids, it's so peaceful, and some places are so remote that school buses don't seem necessary, and the kids feel like they're going to be happier back home. * Explained.
"That's right. ”
"So our suspect was ambushing the kids on their way home when they were out of school, and then they were targeting the brown-haired kids who didn't have a parent to pick them up...... So far, it's all boys. ”
"There were no witnesses in the vicinity when the children disappeared. ”
"Either he is labeled 'harmless' in the eyes of the locals or even in the eyes of the children. ”
"Either the children's route home is hidden and no one but them will go. Lance quickly clicked twice on the keyboard, "and then hid the kids in a place where no one else could find out." ”
"Why didn't you find out?" Gordon blinked, "why didn't you find it, not even the locals, oh, you can't find me, you can't find me, you can't find the treasure I've hidden, I'm confident enough, why? Because I know this place better than you, I know what you wouldn't approach at all, only I know where I can get close." ”
Red nodded, "Yes, but I saw a description of their small base similar to Bovey's little diary, 'It's a long way to go', 'Adults won't come close', 'It's raining, Little A slipped and almost rolled down the hill'." So I asked Officer Benny Ann if there were any nearby mountains that the locals didn't visit. ”
"Oh~"
"So are there any other clues?"
"um, there's one. * The left eyebrow is slightly raised, "But I don't think it will help, in fact we all know." ”
"You're saying they're in the same school?"
"In addition to this town, there are also some children from other towns who come here to go to school. * Putting aside the information at hand, "They are all about the same age." ”
"Why do we miss such clues? ”
"Because it's so conspicuous, I won't pay attention to it. Red rolled his eyes.
"What's the top book on the desk in Bovey's room?"
"Plant Encyclopedia," Red did not hesitate to report the title of the book.
Lance: "Plus a prefix, most people." ”
Red: "......"
Now, Red and Lance go to the school together to find the teachers and ask about the connection between the missing children. Hu Qi lowered his head, "* Check with the local media, we can't rule out the possibility that the children will go missing on their own, even if it's small." ”
"Morgan Eyre and I went to the secluded mountain that the officer just said, and if the children did go there, there would still be some traces left, but they needed to be led by the locals. Gordon paused, "Let the sheriff send an experienced officer." ”
"Okay. Hu Qi nodded.
"Wait......" Red frowned, "Why me and Lance?"
"I thought you guys were working very well together. Gordon's face tugged, "Let's go." ”
Lance felt disgusted.
Properly disliked.
Of course, he didn't want to throw his face twice in front of others, so when he went to school next, he was driving in front of a reliable local police officer, and Benny didn't know why he still followed, sitting in the passenger seat.
Lance sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, his face was flat, and several times Benny wanted to find something to talk about, turned his head and saw Lance's righteous face, and swallowed everything.
Red lowered his head and looked at his clasped hands, rubbed them twice uneasily, and immediately separated in disguise, glanced at Lance out of the corner of his eye, and found that this person didn't see it at all, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was even more uneasy, and he touched his neck and coughed twice for a while, and the whole person was like a monkey sitting on a hedgehog.
The old officer glanced in the rearview mirror, "Is there a problem?"
"It's okay, well, it's okay. Red cleared his throat, "Can you show us around the neighborhood when you're done?"
The old officer nodded and did not refuse.
Because they had contacted the schoolmaster before coming here, Lance and Red didn't rush to the air, and there was an elderly woman in the principal's room, her hair was a little burgundy, and she also had a pair of glasses on her nose, and she was also dressed very well, and looked very serious.
She raised her chin slightly to lead the way in front of her, all the way to the principal's office, "Please feel free." ”
Lance sat down on the couch next to him, and Red sat next to him, "No offense, we just wanted to know more about these missing children." Lance still looked displeased when he saw the strict headmaster, "Although I was still worried on the way here, I was not worried when I saw you." He paused, "Women like you should treat students like their own children, so you should know a lot about the three missing children, and the information you provide may be an important clue to help us find those three children." ”
The headmaster pushed the glasses on his nose and sighed, "I have to say, Mr. Detective, you are very eloquent. She said as she opened the drawer of her desk, took out three documents from it and put them on the table, and pushed them forward, "There are three missing children in the school, strictly speaking, they come from two small groups, the two missing children in front of them belong to one small group, and the third one is the other. ”
"Wait, woman, you didn't tell the police about that. Benny couldn't help but make a noise, and the man took a step forward, but was grabbed by the arm by the old police officer.
The headmaster sneered, "Because no one has asked me about this, and besides, don't you already think that they are dead? ”
"That's because the killer wasn't caught. ”
Red got up, took the material in his hand, and read it quickly.
“……”
Lance gave full play to his skill called neglect, and asked the principal directly, not caring about Benny's words, "His reading speed is 20,000 words per minute, so don't be surprised, I want to ask if these two little groups usually have any conflicts, like stumbling over each other or something." ”
The headmaster gave Lance a deep look, "Of course, at this age, they can only think of making a few small stumbling blocks, and they haven't grown the 'delicate heart' of an adult yet. ”
"Is there any move to grab the land? After school, the small group will act together, and they will face off like the western cowboys somewhere?"
"I think there is. The headmaster nodded, "But I don't know that very well. ”
"So do you know of any people who show up at school on a regular basis, or in the crowd when students are out of school?" Red put down the information and spoke a little quickly, "I mean are there any people who are just looking at these kids but not parents?"
The principal shook his head, "There aren't many children in our school, so I know basically all the parents of the children, and there are no strangers. ”
"Ma'am?" Benny said again, "I'm just too excited, so I'm sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Red's eyes flashed, and he saw Lance's hand leaning back slightly, and touching his back again?
Lance noticed Rhett's gaze, and instead took the information that Rhett put down, flipped through it, and continued to ignore Benny and said to the principal, "It seems that they are all activists, and the tables in the school are much more detailed than those from the parents." ”
"In the hearts of parents, every child is an angel. ”
Lance and Red got up to say goodbye, and Benny was dragged away by the old police officer, but his face was red and he seemed very unwilling.
Lance doesn't care, sometimes it's most reassuring to put restless things under his nose, if it's a hot-blooded young man, it's not a smart thing to overdo it.
The horse's feet will definitely be exposed, and when the time comes......
There were tiny beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and she struggled to walk on a mountain full of trees, and she carried a basket on her arm, but it was still a little difficult.
With a few breaths of breath, she frowned and continued to walk on.
Her destination is deep in the woods, where her father is waiting for her to bring him food.
The little girl who was just walking forward did not notice the figure that was quietly following not far behind her.
