"I'm sorry, I haven't seen this girl, is something wrong!" Lin Xiuyi replied regretfully.

"Are you...... Are you FBI?" The other party suddenly asked in surprise when he saw that Lin Xiuyi had forgotten to take off his badge.

"Hmm...... In fact...... Not quite a ...... I'm actually a foreign police officer, and I'm here to participate in the exchange!" Lin Xiuyi's English was not very good, and it was even more difficult for him to explain such a complicated matter.

"Please help me, my daughter has been missing for weeks!" the other man continued to plead.

"I'm sorry, but you can tell me what's going on, I think I can help you ask!" Lin Xiuyi knew that he couldn't help, but seeing a mother so sad, Lin Xiuyi was still a little unbearable. Although he and Sean have only just met, they can still help the mother ask.

"You are such a good person!" Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was willing to help her, the mother suddenly showed a grateful expression.

"Look. There's a café over there, we can find a place to sit down and have a cup of coffee, and then you tell me slowly what's going on?" Lin Xiuyi said, pointing to a café across the street that served dinner.

Lin Xiuyi and the woman they had just met came to the café across the street, and after asking if they had had dinner, Lin Xiuyi asked for two hamburger sets.

"Thank you, sir, for taking the time to help me find my daughter!" said the other party as he took a sip of coffee and said with a sad expression.

"Can you tell me what's going on?Also, what do you call it?" Lin Xiuyi looked at the other party in a friendly manner and asked closely.

"My name is Melanie and my daughter's name is Natalie. About three weeks ago, after I had a big fight with my daughter, she ran away from home and never came back, I ......."

Melanie couldn't stop crying without saying a few words, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes. Lin Xiuyi took a look at Melanie's appearance, this woman was about thirty years old, and she looked quite beautiful, but her eyes were a little swollen, probably because of crying.

"Actually, Natalie had run away from home before, and every time she would come back after the money was gone, and then I would take her out to buy a few clothes and we reconciled, and I thought it would be the same as in the past, but it's been three weeks now...... I don't know where she is. ”

Melanie didn't say a few words and her emotions collapsed again, Lin Xiuyi persuaded a few words, but Melanie still couldn't stop crying. The entire restaurant was staring at Lin Xiuyi, as if he had done something bad.

"Have you asked Natalie's friends, do they know where she went?" Lin Xiuyi asked again, these are the standard procedures of the police, Lin Xiuyi just asked as usual.

"I've asked everything I can find, but I'm not very familiar with Natalie's friends, and there are some that I can't contact......" Melanie was so emotional that she could only answer Lin Xiuyi's questions intermittently.

"Do you have any relatives or friends in Seattle, or do you know where Natalie might be staying?" Lin Xiuyi continued to ask.

"I've searched everywhere I know, but I haven't heard anything about her......"

Lin Xiu thought for a moment, then picked up the flyer that Melanie handed him and looked at it carefully. It can be seen that Natalie has inherited her mother's genes. It's pretty good-looking. The age on the flyer shows 16 years old. But the real person looks a little more mature.

The photo shows Natalie with blonde hair with black eyeliner, ripped jeans, a statement T-shirt, and three stud earrings on her right ear. Around his neck he wears a decorative necklace in the shape of a skull. The whole person looks like a punk girl.

"Is this what she looked like when she left immediately?" Lin Xiuyi asked, pointing to the photo on the flyer and asking Melanie.

"Yes, that's basically what it looks like except for the different clothes!" Melanie confirmed to Lin Xiuyi.

"Do you have any photos of her without makeup, if you can, I want to see her real appearance!" Lin Xiuyi asked again.

After hearing this, Melanie quickly took out her wallet from the leather bag she was carrying, and after opening it, a photo was placed in Melanie's transparent compartment.

"Look, that's what Natalie looks like when she's not wearing makeup!" Melanie said, pointing to the photo of Natalie holding her from behind Melanie. In the photo, the mother and daughter are smiling very happily, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen today?

Lin Xiuyi took the two photos and looked at them again and again, hoping to keep Natalie's appearance deep in his mind. Truth be told, finding a missing person is not an easy task, Natalie has been missing for so long, the police must have opened a case. If the police can't find Natalie's whereabouts, it's even more impossible.

Looking at Melanie's current state, Lin Xiuyi really couldn't say something. Now Lin Xiuyi has just come to work in the FBI, and basically can't help Melanie. Lin Xiuyi looked at Melanie and thought about it again, but he couldn't say anything if he refused.

"Ms. Melanie, can I leave your contact information? I will inform you as soon as there is news...... Lin Xiuyi replied with a little weakness, to be honest, he didn't want to give Melanie too much hope. Lin Xiuyi read the materials on murder and arson all day today. Although Seattle's security level is known as the top three in the United States, Lin Xiuyi's impression from Sean's office is not like this. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more than 20 homicides in the Seattle area alone.

And it seems that because Seattle's city administrators are particularly tolerant of homeless people, Seattle's homeless population is also among the highest in the United States. Highway 90 alone, which leads to King County, east of downtown Seattle, is home to a large number of homeless people. And these people happen to be the people who are prone to induce crime.

"Officer, after talking for so long, you haven't asked what you call it?" Melanie asked before they parted.

"Just call me Officer Lin!"

This dinner lasted for more than an hour, and in the end, because of Melanie's insistence, Lin Xiuyi's dinner was counted in her account. But to be honest, Lin Xiuyi actually prefers to spend his own money because he has no confidence in finding Natalie's whereabouts at all.

Just when Lin Xiuyi was worried about finding Natalie, he suddenly received a call from Sean.

"Lin, would you like to come out for a drink?"
