Chapter 17: Goodgirl[1]
When the group finally arrived at the BAU department, Hu Qi had already written a summary report of the case in the office, and * returned to his office to sort out the next case.
Garcia went back to his room, which was 'filled with the greatest and most sophisticated wisdom of the century'.
Lance sat at his desk drinking boiling water and reading a magazine, wondering when Hutch would call him for a psychological test.
"Lance?" Morgan leaned over with his coffee, "Something?"
Lance raised his eyelids, "yes, I was wondering when Hu Qi was going to give me a psychological evaluation. ”
Morgan suddenly smiled, "Don't worry about this yet, I think you're okay at all, but it's better to worry about other things than worrying about this." ”
Lance blinked a little incomprehensibly, "I don't think there's anything that can be done against me. Society. It will be stricter, and if I am not careful, I will also invade the earth. ”
The corners of Morgan's mouth twitched, and then he said very vaguely to Rednunu, "But it's worth worrying about~"
Lance followed his guidance and looked at Red, and saw that the man had been fidgeting, and even the book in front of him had not been turned over for a few seconds, and it was not normal for this state to appear in Red.
However, Lance still didn't understand, so he had to shrug his shoulders helplessly at Morgan, "My IQ is not high enough to be the same as that of the legendary detective, so what exactly does he need to worry about?"
Morgan smiled, "Detectives in the field will have regular shooting tests. ”
Lance raised an eyebrow, and when he turned his head, Morgan had already left with his coffee, but he still felt that Morgan was very reliable when he was handling cases, and he was also restless in normal times.
Lance took a sip of water from his cup, then put the cup back in place, and continued to read the newspaper, and when he got off work, he went to a comic shop, and he had a fixed place to live, and a study or something, and now he could take a lot of comics home.
It wasn't every day that Bau had a case, especially when he had just closed a case, and Lance was bored with his desk lying on his desk and pretending to be dead for two days, except for being pulled out for a shooting test, where he proudly demonstrated his marksmanship.
Behind him was Red's test, and Lance's intention was to wait a little and then go back to the department together, but he was lucky enough to watch Rhett's marksmanship where he couldn't hit it, he muttered for a few seconds, and then secretly went back himself.
On the way, I went to the cultural protection department and drank coffee in the office of my old boss Anna.
Back at Bau and entering the door, I saw Morgan put a rope with a whistle tied around Rhett's neck, and Rhett kept frowning, but didn't say anything.
"......" Lance was silent for a moment, then ran back to his desk and continued to lie on his stomach and pretend to be a pitcher plant engaged in photosynthesis.
"Huh?" Al walked over and looked at the newspaper and stacked books on Lance's desk, "See any interesting books?" Red didn't know about the shooting test, and Gordon didn't want anyone to mention it. ”
The latter sentence was said in a very small voice, and Lance was stunned, "Okay." ”
The corners of Al's mouth hooked, "Lunch together?"
Lance was about to speak, when he saw upstairs* come out of the office, pick up a stack of reports, and go to Hoochi's office.
"Wow~" Lance smashed his mouth, "It seems that I will have to go hungry if I want to refuse." ”
"I hope the meal isn't too bad. Al pursed his lips vigorously, making himself look innocent.
Sure enough, in just a few minutes, * came out of Hu Qi's office and beckoned to the few people sitting below.
"Round table. Morgan grinned.
* Standing to hand out materials to a few people, there is a picture of a brown-haired boy on the big screen behind him, and a few freckles can be seen on the immature and baby fat little face, which looks very cute.
"Is it about children this time?" Lance frowned and flipped through the information, but he didn't see the bloody photos of the expected murder scene, only the information of a few children and their families.
* sighed, "This kid has been missing for six hours. ”
"Huh?" Al looked up, "Six hours?"
Gordon also raised his head, he didn't have time to flip through the information, "What's going on." ”
*'s left eyebrow raised slightly before explaining, "There are already two children missing in the area." She paused, "It's the city of Omaha (Nebraska)." ”
"It's a small city in the middle of nowhere, with a population of 50,000 at its best. Red smashed his mouth, "Is it a kidnapping?"
"Parents haven't received any threatening phone calls or anything else so far. * Shaking his head, "I've asked Garcia to investigate, there should be others, but there is good news now, that is, no bodies of any missing children have been found, and there is no more than a day between the disappearances of these children." ”
Hu Qi put the information on the table, "Prepare, we have a tricky opponent to deal with, see you on the plane in twenty minutes." ”
"Hmm......" Lance stood up, thinking about how many minutes it would take to start rushing downstairs to the convenience store and coming back.
"Is there a problem?" said Al, looking sideways.
"It's just that after thinking about entering BAU, it's equivalent to getting a free coupon for flying around in the United States. ”
In the end, Lance only had time to pack his luggage, but luckily there was some food under the original desk, okay Lance, you can't always keep your eyes on food.
In remote areas, people live in places that are always separated by a long distance, but that doesn't stop the local children from playing with each other, even if three children are missing, but at best it is a bit tricky for parents, both of them and the local school still let the students go to and from school together, just to take care of the children and hold together.
In fact, even if this is the case, if you really encounter danger, no matter how many children you are, you will not be able to escape safely.
At this time, the class was over, and as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, a group of children swarmed out of the school door like ducks going down the river.
"Little Benna~" Carrillo is the king of children in the third grade, he is very tall among children of the same age, although he is very naughty, but it is also the type that children of this age admire, he caught up with a girl with long brown straight hair in front of him, "You wait for me!"
The little girl who was called did not stop, and still walked forward with her head down.
"Little Benna!" Carrillo gasped when he finally caught up with Benna, "The teacher said they were going home together." ”
The little girl touched the strap of the book and turned her head, "My house is not far from here." ”
"Don't be like that, little Benna......" Carrillo rubbed his hair.
"Don't call me little Benna!" Benna's eyes widened, "and I can go home by myself!"
Carrillo was not discouraged by Banna's refusal, "Don't be like this, little Benna, I heard from my mother that the missing children are all brown-haired, you must be dangerous, Dad said that men are to protect girls." ”
Benna's shoulders shrunk, "Yes, is that so?"
"That's right. Carrillo didn't notice Benna's wince, and patted his chest like a little adult, "I'm very good, Dad even said that he would take me hunting soon." ”
Banner lowered her head, "Oh. ”
"What's wrong with you, little Benna?" Carrillo scratched his head again.
"No, it's just that your dad is so nice to you. Banner turned and walked on, "My dad would never say that to me. ”
"Does little Benna want to hunt too?" Carrillo grinned, "It's okay, I'll talk to my dad when I get home, and he'll agree to take you with me!"
Banner stiffened, pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"Little Benna......
"Benna!" came the voice of a gruff man not far away.
Banner stopped, looked up, and saw that across a few trees, a man in casual clothes was waving here, he was not very good-looking, and even the beard on his face had not been hung for a while, but it still gave people a very kind and intimate feeling.
"Little Benna?" Carrillo exclaimed, "He's so cool, who is he?"
Banna bit her lip and her voice was as low as a mosquito, "My, my father." ”
"Huh?" Carrillo blinked, "I've never seen him." ”
At this time, the man had already come over, and Carrillo realized that this man's figure was very tall, and he could block the sunlight when he walked in front of him, and he smiled heartily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "
Are you my precious friend?
"Yes. Carrillo reacted immediately, "First time I met sir, I'm Carrillo. ”
The man nodded, "It's okay to call me Ade, it's only been more than a year since I moved in with Banna, and I'm too busy so I didn't come to pick her up much, it seems that Banna is taken care of by you." ”
Carrillo touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Hehe~ By the way, Mr. Ade, we have a lot of children missing here recently, my mother said that the missing are all brown-haired children, and Banna is also brown-haired." ”
Ade's eyes widened, as if surprised, "Oh, missing, yes, missing, I've been too busy lately to know about this and wonder if my baby will be in danger, but I really didn't know that the missing children were all brown-haired, thank you, kind Carrillo." ”
Carrillo stuck out his tongue.
"By the way, is your home far from here? It's still too dangerous to go alone, I'll send you back. ”
Suddenly Banna reached out and grabbed the corner of Ade's clothes, "Let's go back, father, I'm hungry." ”
Ade pulled Banna into his arms, and gently touched the little girl's hair with his big hand, "Obedient." ”
"I'm obedient. Benna buried her head in Ade's clothes, "Please, I'm hungry, very hungry, let's go back, Carrillo can go back by himself." ”
Ade was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Carrillo, who didn't care, and smiled happily, "In that case, Mr. Ade should take Banna home to eat, my mother said that children can't go hungry." ”
Ade looked down at the well-behaved Benna, finally nodded, and finally instructed uneasily, "Hurry home." ”
"Yes sir. With that, Carrillo ran away like the wind, and after a distance he waved his hand back.
Ade patted Banna on the head, "Obedient." ”
Banner shook her body, bit her lip and nodded.
The local population density in Omaha is not large, and the location of the crime is also in a nearby town, so they can't get there directly by plane, and they have to go to the local big city first, and then drive to the small town where the crime occurred.
Lance put his luggage away, and then sat on the sofa next to him, looking at the little doctor's thin appearance, his strength was not small, and it was not difficult for his little arm to carry the big ** luggage.
"We have to do everything we can to start this case, the most recent child has been missing for more than fifteen hours, and we don't have much chance if we miss the best time of twenty-four hours. Hu Qi put the information on the table and tilted his head slightly, "It's very likely that our suspect is still in place. ”
* answered, "This is the center of town, and to get to the homes of the missing children, you need to be a small local jurisdiction to get in touch." ”
Lance felt a piece of candy from his pocket, "So can it be positioned as a kidnapping now?"
Gordon turned his head through the window to look outside, "Yes." ”
"But I still don't understand, isn't the goal too big to kidnap so many children in such a concentrated place?" Lance frowned, the candy in his mouth began to melt, but his mood did not improve.
"There is a certain possibility that it is a child, a child, a fetish. Al shrugged his shoulders.
"Or trafficking. Morgan looked up, "But these kids are eight years old. ”
"And these kids are all brown-haired, maybe our suspect is looking for a replacement. Red glanced at Lance, "Maybe the reason for the constant search is that the child he found wasn't what he wanted." ”
"Three days have passed since the original missing child, but the body has not been found, and if it is not for what he wants, he will definitely dispose of it. Lance answered with a smile, and then reached in his pocket and handed over a candy.
Red didn't refuse, took the candy and looked at it, but still put it in his pocket.
"But what is certain is that such a skillful crime, with a regular and irregular time, shows that our suspect is not the first time to commit a crime. Gordon nodded, "There are others that we need to communicate with the local police." ”
Morgan took out the ** and looked at it, "In this case, I think Garcia should be able to help us, since it's not the first time to commit a crime, there should be similar cases in other regions." ”
