"Sir, we're sorry to delay the mayor's trip. But I didn't ask them to stop all the cars, just specifically to check which ones were for a young couple with a child's vehicle. Johnny kept explaining to the chief of the Pittsburgh Police Department:

"But, sir, it's only been 1 hour since the incident, and I can't get all the patrol officers at the checkpoints to get the photos of the two fugitives, so if you do such lax checks, it's easy to let them go, you see, can you ...... them"

It's a pity that the other side obviously doesn't give him a chance to explain anymore.

"Yes, sir. I will let the brothers at the highway checkpoint improve the efficiency of the inspection and ensure that the mayor's car can pass as soon as possible. ”

Johnny hung up the phone with a helpless face,

Now, he can only pray that he can find out the true destination and escape route of John's escape.

……

John's car is getting closer and closer to the toll booth on the interstate.

There were a large number of police standing there, standing and searching all suspicious vehicles.

But in order not to affect the mayor's itinerary, they were required to search and interrogate only those vehicles with a man and a woman with a child.

At John's car, the moment it stopped outside the checkpoint, his and Laura's hearts were all in their throats.

The highway police poked their heads into the car, a man and a woman, with a small child.

It seems to be exactly the same as a wanted fugitive.

But

At this time, an elderly couple was sitting in the car, and the two of them were chatting with Laura and John.

It looks like three generations of a family, traveling en masse.

Remembering the above request, the highway policeman shook his head and let the car go.

John drove and slowly drove out of the toll booth.

It wasn't until he could no longer see the shadow of the toll booth that he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Are you sure, the two of us, you're only charging us twenty dollars? You know, the train ticket from here to Buffalo is three times that amount. The old gentleman looked at John with some embarrassment and asked.

While driving, John held back the irrepressible excitement in his heart and smiled slightly: "Yes, we are going there anyway." With you, we can not only reduce the cost of travel, but also make two more friends. ”

"Haha, it's really rare for a young man like you to be like you now. The old gentleman smiled and complimented.

John didn't answer, laughing and cruising the car to the top speed.

……

In the conference room of the Pittsburgh Police Department.

The police found the pieces in the trash can in front of John's house, and put them together into a huge map.

But they still couldn't determine John's escape route.

In Johnny's office, a black policewoman walks in.

Johnny ordered her: "Expand the search and send their pictures to all the train stations, bus stations, and airports within 500 kilometers." ”

The policewoman teased: "In other words, we are going to have Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Michigan, Kentucky, and Indiana, all the train stations, bus stations, and airports in these nine states help us search for these two people? ”

"What else? Do you know their escape route, Miss Holmes?" asked Johnny, angrily.

The policewoman shook her head, turned and went out to carry out the order.

……

The suburbs of Buffalo.

John said goodbye to the old couple.

Then he quietly threw the black gun on his body into the trash can on the side of the road.

Back in the car, I drove to the international airport that I had planned.

……

Pittsburgh Police Department.

Johnny suddenly discovers that because of his habitual thinking, everyone seems to think that John will choose an airfield in the Starflag Country and flee abroad.

However, Quebec and Ontario in the Maple Leaf Kingdom are also not far from Pittsburgh.

He immediately walked out of the office, came to the policewoman who seemed to know a lot about geography, and asked, "You say, how many airports are there in Ontario and Quebec?"

The policewoman who was calling and sending faxes to the train station and bus station replied impatiently: "It's on the map, are you asking me to stop what I'm doing and count it for you?"

……

An international airport in Quebec.

"Did you go so far away with only your carry-on luggage?......" The ticket inspector at the airport ticket gate asked, looking at John.

John, who had been paying attention to the movement at the airport gate, didn't hear her clearly for a while, and asked, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

"Did you go so far away with only carry-on luggage?" said the ticket inspector again.

"Well, do you know how many times I've lost my luggage by you. John went straight back to the question.

The ticket inspector smiled awkwardly, "Okay, now your tickets and boarding passes." Thank you for flying with us!"

After passing the ticket gate, the three of them walked into the security area.

John and Laura both made it through security.

When my son walked past the security screen, the alarm sounded.

Fortunately, it was soon discovered that it was just the coins in his pocket, which triggered the metal detector alarm.

The last hurdle is to appear at the customs inspection office.

John trembled slightly, and took out the passports of the three of them.

Laura gently took his hand, "I'll do it." ”

She took John's passport and handed it to the customs police with a smile.

The forged passport and social security number were completely fine and quickly passed the check.

The customs police opened the database of wanted criminals, and none of the photos in it matched John or Laura.

The policeman nodded and let the three into the departure hall.

The policeman then switched shifts with another policeman.

But when John and Laura walked into the departure hall with their son, their photos had just been transferred to the airport's database of wanted criminals.

……

Pittsburgh Police Department.

The young policeman who had been following Johnny's team stood in front of the map with many missing corners, constantly thinking about the escape route of John and Laura.

Zhang Guorong's version of the middle-aged policeman came over and said regretfully: "It's a pity, we only found these things, and there is no way to know where this guy went?"

The young policeman, pointing to a broken photo in the center of the map, said, "I wish I could see where this picture is." But I searched all the tourist attractions I could find on the Internet, but none of them resembled this photo. ”

The middle-aged policeman looked at the photo carefully, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, and immediately said: "This is the presidential palace of a country, and when there was an earthquake, this presidential palace collapsed, and many media reported on it at that time." ”

The young policeman immediately became excited.

He ran all the way to Johnny's office and shouted to his boss, "I know what country they're going to, and that country, in Ontario and Quebec, has only one airfield to fly to." ”

"Quick, quick, we'll contact them right away. ”

……

John took Laura and his son and slowly walked in line to the plane.

The airport guards, after receiving Johnny's call, immediately took a photo of John and Laura and rushed to the boarding gate.

They shouted frantically, "Everyone, no boarding, no boarding, no boarding." We're going to search the entire departure hall and the flight. ”

Ignoring the passengers' complaints, they checked their appearances one by one.

……

Half an hour later, Johnny, who had been waiting by the telephone, heard the voice from the other side.

"I'm sorry, we didn't find anyone at the airport you were trying to arrest. The airport guard said on the other end of the phone.

"No way, they must be on it. Johnny didn't believe the result and asked, "Did you get a picture of the two of them?"

The airport guard replied: "We have photos, but they are not on the plane. ”

"Is there another flight to Haiti tonight?" asked Johnny, unwillingly.

"No, there's only one flight to Haiti today. Is there anything else you need our cooperation on?" the guard asked impatiently.

Johnny replied hoarsely, "No, thank you, thank you!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone a little helplessly.

A middle-aged policeman who looked very similar to Leslie Cheung walked to the window.

Looking at the weather outside the window, he said inexplicably: "It's going to rain soon." ”

He then walked over to the debris-covered wall.

"Have you ever wondered why we happened to find this part of the fragment?" And the rest of it, but I haven't been able to find it?"

With that, he turned and left.

……

"Dear passengers, tonight's flight to Caracas, Venezuela is about to take off. The flight duration is 5 hours and 32 minutes. Before you take off, please make sure you have fastened your seatbelt......"

John looked at his son, who was already asleep, in his arms, held Laura's hand, closed his eyes with relief, and was ready to rest.

It was the warmest sleep he'd ever had in a year.

In the living room of his parents' house, my father took out a map of the world and gently placed it on the page of Venezuela.

Looking at the small South American country on the map, he gently brushed the page with his hand, as if he saw his son and daughter-in-law, walking into their new home with their grandchildren, laughing.

Zhang Guorong's version of the policeman once again returned to the parking lot that changed Laura's life.

He followed the traces of yesterday's rain and found an underground sewage outlet at the entrance of the parking lot.

The button that Laura said may have been washed into this sewage well by the rain.

He looked at his colleague and asked, "You say, there's no way I'm going to find that button?"

"A button from three years ago? Are you crazy?" replied the colleague.

He removed the manhole cover and searched carefully, but found nothing.

The moment he lowered the manhole cover, a button fell through his finger into the underground well.

It will never be discovered again.

But what is the truth?

John didn't care anymore at this point.

He believed in Laura, and Laura believed in him.

And their sons.

A family of three, a lifetime of companionship.

This is love, this is family, this is John's life.

"Click!"

Gently take a picture of your wife and son with your camera, cuddling together and falling asleep.

John knew that he had completed his redemption.

Yes, it wasn't he who saved Laura, it was Laura who saved him.
