Li Du and the others got out of the car, and a bunch of reporters gathered at the entrance of the police station to take pictures of them.
Godzilla habitually covered his face with his hands, and Brother Wolf even covered his head with clothes in advance.
Seeing this, a reporter said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing now is the culprit in the child abduction and trafficking case......
The reporter's misunderstanding made Li Du, Hans and others depressed, and they hurriedly shouted to the police: "How can this be? ”
The policeman who was with them grabbed the reporter and explained: "You are mistaken, they are not suspects, they are the discoverers." ”
Li Du looked back at the two of them and said helplessly, "What are you two doing?" ”
Godzilla smiled and put down his hand and said, "Get used to it." ”
Brother Wolf resolutely refused to put down his clothes and said, "I can't be on TV." ”
The cause and effect of the incident were introduced, just like Li Du learned in the news.
More than 20 days ago, Howard, a 4-year-old boy living in Sydney, came with his mother to his grandmother's house in Kendall, New South Wales.
At around 10:30 a.m., Howard was playing in the front yard in his favorite Superman coat, and just as his mother went back to the house to pour tea, the little one disappeared and searched inside and outside the house.
After receiving the report, the police and some local residents carried out a carpet search near his grandmother's house, and even used police dogs and helicopters, but to no avail.
The case of Howard's disappearance caused a great shock in Australia, and for a time the whole country paid attention to it, and many TV stations reported it, which is why Li Du saw the report from the news channel.
In the past two or three months, there have been frequent cases of missing children in Australia, and Howard has been the eighth child to be lost, and the police have not been able to find anyone, and he has been blamed and under great pressure.
Now that Howard and four other children have been found at the same time, the police in Hobart can breathe a sigh of relief, which means that this mega child abduction case has a clue.
Therefore, the police are so friendly to Li Du and others, Li Du and his entourage are simply their life-saving benefactors, if they can't solve the case, there must be someone among them who will take the blame and resign.
This case of missing children was almost a certainty, because such missing cases are not uncommon in Australia, and a considerable number of people have not been found for more than ten years, and the age and time span of the missing people are huge.
According to the data provided by the National Coordination Centre for Missing Persons (NMPCC) in Australia, more than 38,000 people are missing in Australia every year, with an average of 104 missing people every day!
However, 95% of the people can be found in the first time, and about 1,600 people cannot be recovered at present.
In the case of lost children such as Howard, the National Coordination Center for Missing Persons has played an important role, and they have been working hard and persevering, and they are very concerned about this case.
So when Howard and others were found, the backbone of the organization rushed to Hobart, and I don't know how many media from all over the country rushed over.
Li Du and others were invited into the police station, and someone brought them coffee, juice, snacks and cakes.
The chief of the Hobart Police Department, who was the same Inspector Quentin that Li Du had met, took the note of the police and led his subordinates to William's Wharf as soon as he received the police notice.
The transcript was in a friendly atmosphere, with Quentin smiling, giving them a thumbs up and a soft tone when asking questions.
Li Du introduced what happened, and he took out the official as a shield, saying that this subordinate's hearing was beyond ordinary people.
In this way, the focus of the transcript is on the masturbator, which is exactly what the masturbator wants, because he likes to be in the limelight:
"The driver was reversing and turning repeatedly, the container was swaying, and then I heard a child's voice coming from inside, and if I remember correctly, he said 'I want to breathe, I want water'......"
"I was scared at the time, man, I was scared, I never heard a sound in a shipping container, you know, it's very reminiscent of horror movies and ghost legends......"
"But I believe in my hearing, I've got a knack for it, and I'm like the guys in the X-Men, you know, we have to trust our superpowers, it's a gift from God......"
The masturbation officer was there and began to take credit for himself, Li Du glared at him and said, "To get to the point, this is a police record, not a reporter interview!" ”
Quentin smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Lee, I'm interested in Mr. Conlett's special abilities, it's really an amazing talent." ”
The masturbation officer said excitedly: "Yes, I have been waiting for this day, you don't know, this ability has never brought me benefits." But I always believed that God had given me this power for absolutely his purpose, and now I believe it, thank God! ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a female police officer walked in and said, "The head of the Tasmanian branch of the NMPCC has arrived, Director, do you want to receive it?" ”
Quentin was about to speak, but then changed his mind, he stood up and whispered a few words in front of the policewoman, after which he said to the masturbator, "Mr. Conlett, can you hear what I just said?" ”
The official said: "Invite them to have a cup of coffee and so on, don't these guys always accuse us of taking taxpayers' money for nothing?" Let them see who's doing it! ”
Quentin gave a thumbs up and admired: "Not bad!" ”
The relationship between the police and Australia's National Coordination Centre for Missing Persons is clearly not very good, but this is understandable.
Originally part of the Department of Justice, the Australian National Missing Persons Coordination Centre was established in May 1995 to effectively respond to the growing problem of missing persons, raise the awareness of the Australian public, and strengthen cooperation with relevant international organizations.
This body was transferred to the Australian Federal Police in 2003 and expanded to become the National Missing Persons Focal Point in 2006.
Their main role is to work with the state police and the media at the national level, build an extensive information network to promote the dissemination of information and provide effective intelligence, and also play an important role in educating the public to prevent the disappearance of relatives and friends, and providing data support for scholars' research.
In fact, these jobs would have belonged to the police department.
Although the National Coordination Centre for Missing Persons belongs to the police department, they have just arrived, and they used to belong to the Ministry of Justice, which is a parallel agency to the police department.
Now that it has become a subordinate agency of the police department, they are naturally not convinced, and the functions of the two agencies overlap, and both are responsible for the disappearance of the population.
In this way, once the missing person cannot be found, both sides do not want to be responsible, pass the buck to each other, and once the missing person is found, both sides will go to grab the credit.
It is for these reasons that the relationship between the two sides is delicate.
