20.13 Case II of the disappearance of the girl

The security room of the department store has been temporarily converted into a crime investigation station at this time, and several police detectives with laptops came in and immediately copied a copy of the two-day yard surveillance and began to watch the video hard.

A truck driver and promoter at the time appeared, and Henry immediately smiled brightly at the sight of the driver.

Henry, "Daniel, who do you see we met? Do you remember that girl molestation case three years ago? I didn't expect a department store to use this kind of person as a driver. He'll leave it to me!"

Henry excitedly pulled the driver into a makeshift cabin. Daniel, on the other hand, walked straight up to the promoter and pulled him into another cabin. The manager stood beside Du Pingping and looked at Du Pingping.

Manager, "Is that detective telling me true?"

"What did he say?"

Manager, "It's about the girl molestation case." ”

Du fair, "Probably true. But I don't think it's very likely that he committed the crime, do you have management records here for the past few days?"

Manager, "Yes." What's the use of that?"

"A lot of things, before we confirm it's useless, it can be useful. ”

Du Pingping took the management information provided by the manager and entered another hut.

The time when the three people came out was almost synchronous, and the three people communicated with each other as soon as they came out.

Daniel, "Henry, is there any progress you have there?"

Henry, "No. What about yours?"

Daniel, "Neither. Is there any news from the monitoring group?"

Henry shook his head, "I went over there just now to see, and there wasn't. ”

"There may be some progress on my side. ”

Du Pingping shook the duty list in his hand, put several work records of different dates together, and pointed to the return time of the same number inside.

"Do you see anything?"

Henry, "The day 2 days ago, this car came back exceptionally late. ”

"The record registration said that the car broke down, and when the car came back, it also provided a ticket for the maintenance yard. ”

Daniel, "We should go to that pit." ”

…………………………

In the garage, under a small car that was suspended high, the owner of the garage in overalls lay down the pulley from under the car, took off his gloves, and took the list handed over by Daniel.

The owner, "No problem, this car was about to get off work that afternoon, it was here for repairs, because the accident was very simple, just replaced a part, and it was dealt with." It's only a matter of 30 minutes. Is there something going on?"

Daniel, "Has this little girl ever seen it?"

Daniel took out a photograph again, it was the girl, and handed it to the owner. The owner took it and shook his head.

The owner, "I haven't seen it, what's wrong with her?"

Daniel, "It's been 48 hours since her family reported her missing. ”

The owner of the field straightened face, sat up from the pulley, and stood up again. The owner came to a central open space, picked up an iron wrench and struck it heavily on the iron frame next to it, making a huge "dang" sound. Causing all the employees around to look at this place together.

"Come here, all of you!"

Soon the staff gathered around the owner. After seeing that his people had gathered, the owner raised the photo of the little girl in his hand and handed it down.

The owner, "There's a little girl missing here, her family is in a hurry, you all take a look, no one has any impression?"

The photos were passed one by one, and most of the people shook their heads after reading them, saying that they didn't know or had seen them. Only one looked a little hesitant. The owner didn't wait for Daniel to ask a straight question.

The owner, "If you know something, just say it quickly! Now there are so many bad people, if you hesitate, maybe this little girl will have an accident in the next moment!"

The man, "I haven't seen this little girl either. It was just yesterday at noon that I went out for lunch and saw Aunt Mary next to us, who had just bought a bag of children's snacks from the supermarket. We all know that Aunt Mary was a widow who did not have any children, and her relatives rarely visited her. Her teeth are not good, and she never eats this kind of hard thing that only children love to eat. So I was a little strange at the time, and now when I see this picture, I know that there is a little girl missing. I was wondering if she had seen that little girl!"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded.

Daniel, "Can you tell me where that Lady Mary lives?"

The owner of the field pointed to the person just now, "What else do you say, your current job is handed over to someone else, and you will take these three police officers there immediately!"

This one immediately starts handing over work with his colleagues.

Daniel took the owner's hand and thanked him, "Thank you so much!"

"Didn't help much, may God bless you for finding that little girl!" I am also a person with children, so I can understand the mood of this kind of incident best!"

…………………………

A small wooden building with a single house, it looks like it has some history, and the garden and lawn in front of and behind the house are not very careful. The workers of the maintenance yard took the three people outside the small building, stopped, and pointed to the small building.

"This is the room, the lady Mary, who is a strange person, who never comes into contact with the neighbors, but who loves cats." Shall I go with you?"

Du Ping opened the tablet and quickly found a few photos, all of which were photos of the missing girl and the cat.

"According to the girl's mother, the girl is also very fond of cats, but because of the management rules of the apartment, they can't keep cats, so they can only feed some wild cats on the street." ”

Daniel, "You're saying that the girl is probably in there?"

"A lost girl, seeing a cat she likes, and a lonely old woman who likes cats, is easy to guess what happens." ”

Daniel nodded, and walked forward with Henry. The workers and Du Pingping stayed and waited.

…………………………

Daniel and Henry took the girl who had been recovered, the lady Mary who had taken the girl in, and Du Fair to the door of the girl's house again. Daniel looked back at Mary, who was a little nervous, and knocked on the door.

In the afternoon, Daniel and Henry found the missing girl at Ms. Mary's home. Everything was fine with the girl, not hurt in the slightest. But this Ms. Mary could face some allegations of disappearance. The lady Mary pleaded guilty, but her only request was to accompany the girl home. Since this lady Mary did not seem to be a bad person, Daniel and Henry agreed to her request, and went to the girl's door together.

The door opened, and the girl's mother saw the missing girl at a glance, and with nothing else in her eyes, she rushed up, squatted on the ground and hugged the girl to death. Daniel and Henry glanced at each other and could only wait helplessly. The man quickly followed, enthusiastically opening the door to the room.

Man, "Come in, please come in, thank you so much!"

Several people walked through the door, and only after the girl's mother was emotionally stable did Daniel slowly explain the story to the couple. It's a very simple story, the girl is on the way home and sees a doll in the promotion car that she likes so much, so she sneaks into the car to play. At this time, the car drove away. The girl was very nervous. So, when the car stopped for repairs, she sneaked out of the van again. But this is no longer the neighborhood she is familiar with. So the girl was so frightened that she hid in a no-man's corner and cried quietly. Then a cute cat appeared, and the little girl thought that the prince who had come to help her in the fairy tale, so she hugged the cat and talked. Soon I met Mary, an old woman who had come out looking for a cat.

The old woman, Mary, was going to call the police, but when she saw that the little girl was hungry and thirsty, she took her back to her house and prepared juice and bread and ham for her. Then in the process, Mary fell in love with the little girl, and felt that she was very cute, so she couldn't help but want to stay with the little girl for a few more days to relieve her loneliness. However, he was soon found by the police.

Daniel gestured to Mary, who had come with them.

Daniel, "She's the one who's helped you take care of your daughter these days. ”

Mary, "I'm so sorry! It's all because of my selfishness that you've been frightened for the past two days!"

Mary stood up and apologized very solemnly to the couple. The girl in her mother's arms, pulling her mother's hand, said eagerly.

Girl, "Grandma Mary is a very, very good person! Don't blame Grandma! It's all Jasmine who doesn't know what happened." ”

The mother looked at her husband, stood up suddenly, and lifted Mary in front of her.

Mother, "How about having dinner together in the evening?"

Mary, "You guys?"

Mother, "Yes, we're not mad at you, and if it hadn't been for meeting you, Jasmine might have met someone even more terrible." At that time, not only will she not have all kinds of things to eat, drink, and play, but she will also encounter misfortune. So, we want to thank you. ”

Girl, "And cats! Grandma Mary, there are also a lot of cute cats. ”

The mother glanced sideways at the girl, "By the way, and Jasmine's favorite cat." So to thank you, can we treat you to a dinner to show your appreciation?"

Mary was so moved that tears flowed from her eyes, and she agreed, "Of course! ”

Girl, "Can I go to Grandma Mary's house in the future?"

Mary looked at the parents with anticipation in her eyes.

Mother, "Of course, you can go, but next time you have to be taken by your parents! Got it?"

Girl, "Yay!"

The girl jumped up happily and gave her father and mother a kiss on the cheek, and then jumped into the arms of the old woman, Mary, and kissed the old woman on the cheek. The old woman was stunned for a moment, but soon saw the couple on the opposite side with encouraging eyes, and tears couldn't help but slide out for a while.

Mary, "Thank you!"

Mary then turned her body to Daniel, Henry, and Du Fair.

Mary, "I can go with you now." ”

Daniel, "I don't think I need to. ”

Mary, "Why?"

Daniel looked at the couple across from him and explained with a smile, "Because we lost the prosecutor, you don't have to go to the police station with us now." ”

Mary, "Ahhh

"Don't do that next time! Not every couple chooses to forgive and accept the unintentional mistakes of others." ”

Mary looked back at the couple, then smiled at Daniel, "I don't think I'll ever do it again!"

…………………………

The door to Regan's house opened, and it was Susan who happily took Du's arm and looked strangely at Daniel next to her.

Susan, "Why are you here?"

Daniel, "Didn't you call me and tell me to come back for dinner with Du Ping?"

Susan, "Forget it, come on, come in." ”

Susan walked into the room with Du Fair in her arms, leaving only the backs of a kind couple to her brother. Daniel walked into the living room with emotion, sat down next to old Regan, and took a bottle of whiskey from his grandfather's hand with a classic expression of a woman's disappointment, and poured himself a glass.

Daniel, "Grandpa, you don't care?"

Grandpa, "What's the matter?"

Daniel, "I'm her own brother, so I don't feel as good as an outsider." ”

Grandpa looked at Daniel with wise eyes, and took a sip of the wine glass in his hand with great nostalgia.

Grandpa, "When you have a daughter, you will find out that this is the inheritance of the Geer people." Women's experiences come from their mothers, grandmothers, and men are not a system. But there is a consensus that all Geer men know!"

Grandpa's voice suddenly became very quiet, "If you offend the woman who is in heat, you will die a miserable death." ”

Daniel, "Is that so?"

Grandpa, "You can try." ”

Grandpa suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at Susan in the dining room in a loud voice.

Grandpa, "Susan, your brother just said you were forgetful!"

Susan, "Really!"

Almost immediately, Susan, dressed in a kitchen apron, walked out of the kitchen with a chef's knife in hand. He looked at Daniel coldly. Then Linda, the mother of the two, also walked out of the kitchen with a bread slicing knife.

Linda, "What's wrong?"

Susan, "Daniel, he bullied me!"

Linda, "Really, Daniel?"

Daniel, "No! No! I don't!"

Daniel looked at his grandfather sitting on the side, and his grandfather was like an old man who had drunk too much, lying on the sofa and closing his eyes, indicating that he no longer cared about the affairs here.

…………………………

Regan's restaurant, once again in the family, made Frank a little strange when he had just returned home. He looked at the people around the table and looked at his wife.

Frank, "What day is it? Have I forgotten something?"

Linda smiled, "No, just a normal dinner." ”

Frank wondered, "Really?"

Frank looked at Daniel and Naomi to the side.

Frank, "Is the case of that missing girl there solved?"

Daniel, "yes, it's just a false alarm. The youngest daughter ran away on her own and was taken in by an old woman who lived alone for 2 nights without calling the police. The person has been found and sent home. ”

Frank, "Good! Charles also reminded me this afternoon that several media outlets are looking at it. Girls can be kidnapped, torn tickets, molested and other possibilities, which is very troublesome, and can also arouse public enthusiasm. So I'm happy to be able to do it so quickly and with such a result. ”

Susan, "That's because Du is fair!"

Frank, "Du Fair?"

Daniel, "That's right, today Du Ping happened to have nothing to do, so he walked around with us to understand our daily work. ”

Frank, "Du Fair." ”

Frank looked at Du Fairness beside Susan.

Frank, "Are you quitting your job at the FBI?"

"Because of the last series of bombings in Huashi, they gave me a long vacation and asked me to pass the psychologist's assessment before I could go back." I asked the psychologist out, and she didn't seem to have time. ”

Frank, "That's right! The bombing in Washington, I know, the FBI killed 4 agents and seriously injured 10, and it would take months to write a satisfactory report for the higher-ups. The general and safe way is to carry out cold treatment for a few months, and all the people involved in the case will be on vacation, and after a few months, the media will no longer pay attention to other things, and there will be a real result. So, if that's the case, you may not be able to go back to work for a short time. The psychologist is not in a hurry, and the psychologist will only look for you after getting a hint from the FBI. If you look for her now, she won't see her, and there is no way to write reports and assessments. ”

"I see, I see." ”

Frank, "What's on schedule or plan lately?"

"I still have a few public classes at NYU, and I don't really have anything else. ”

Frank, "Man cannot rest idle, and if he does, he will be abolished." Today's things are good, I don't need to give you a special approval, you can deal with some things with Daniel and them. If you want to go to the police academy, there is no problem, according to your academic qualifications, you only need half a year of special training to graduate, and then there are more options. ”

Du Fair, "I...... Haven't thought about it yet."

Susan interrupted, "Thank you, Dad!" Du Ping is going to talk to Daniel and them for a while to familiarize himself with the situation in New York City before making a choice. ”

Frank looked at Susan and the silent Du and nodded. Then, pick up a plate of roast meat from the table.

Frank, "Charcoal-grilled?"

Susan, "Yes, my brother took the initiative to ask Ying to roast on the grill in the courtyard to celebrate today's victory. ”

Frank, "It seems like the weather is a little cold today, and it has cooled down a bit in the past two days. ”

Linda, "Young man has a lot of firepower, no problem, right, Daniel?"

"Yes......" Daniel suddenly sneezed, "Ah...... Autumn!"

Frank, "Daniel, are you okay?"

Daniel, "No. ”
