On November 23, 1973, Benson-Selberg saw his wife Jennifer out for the last time and thought she had returned to her parents' home. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But after 5 days, Jennifer's parents did not see her, and they called the police after many unsuccessful contacts.

In 1979, the police classified Jennifer's case as a major disappearance, and her disappearance report is still scrolling through the homepage of the National Missing Persons Coordination Center's official website.

The parents of the four children knew Jennifer, so after listening to Benson's words, they knew who he was, because they were paying attention to the official website of the coordination center every day, and their children were with Jennifer's image.

According to the National Coordination Centre for Missing Persons, those who have been missing for more than three months are listed as long-term priority search targets.

There was a computer in the lounge, and Adrien turned on the computer and logged in to the official website of the coordination center, allowing Li Du and the others to read the news on it.

There are a lot of photos hanging on the front page of the website, and people who have been missing for years or even decades abound, and it looks shocking!

The Australian Police Force has put a bounty on these disappearances, which they regularly compile in March and October each year, make posters and send them to state police stations and put them up in various public places.

The photos that Benson got were taken from a public place.

The masturbator was helpless, and he said to Benson, "I'm sorry, sir, I'd love to help you, but I don't actually have that much energy......"

"Don't you have any powers, you've found those children, please help me search for my wife, okay?" Benson interrupted him urgently.

The old man stared at him with wide eyes, his face full of anticipation.

The masturbation officer muttered, "Damn, I now regret accepting those titles that the police boasted to me, how can I have any special abilities?"

As Adrien said earlier, heroes are not good.

Benson has been looking for a wife for half his life, and he is already a little enchanted, and the meaning of his life now is to find a wife, and this concept is supporting him.

If it weren't for this idea, I'm afraid he would have collapsed.

Li Du saw this, and when he saw that the masturbator was about to refuse, he preemptively said: "It's better to be like this, Mr. Selberg, you give us a photo, we will try to find it, and if we are lucky enough to find the news, we will definitely notify you." ”

The old man thanked them and took out a set of photos from his bag, which covered the ages of twenty-five to seventy, and were very clear.

When the old man left, the masturbator said helplessly: "Boss, how can we help him?"

Adrien understood why Li Du was doing this, and he said: "It's helping him, and if you refuse, or deny that you can help, it will make him desperate." ”

The other three parents nodded their heads, they had just experienced such a life a few days ago.

Looking at the photo, Sophie wondered, "According to Mr. Howard, Ms. Jennifer Selberg was just married when she disappeared, why did the photo continue to be in old age?"

Adrien and others explained to them that this was a very technical technique in Australia to find missing persons.

As we all know, when the disappearance has been gone for too long, the current face must have changed a lot compared to the time of the crime.

Missing children, in particular, are developing at a rapid rate, and it is difficult to guarantee that in a few years their parents will be able to recognize their children in a sea of people just by remembering their appearance.

It is for this reason that this change in the appearance of long-missing persons poses a great challenge to the search for the police.

Subsequently, Australia's National Missing Persons Coordination Centre partnered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the United States to introduce forensic imaging techniques and related training courses.

This technique is able to draw a new "photo" of the missing person years after the disappearance, combined with their unique physical characteristics, and inferred by relevant experts.

Putting together the photographs before his disappearance and the forensic composite photographs can eliminate the obstacles to the search due to the change in physiognomy to the greatest extent, and provide a powerful reference for the police and the public to identify the missing person.

These composite photos not only provide convenience for the police to search for the missing person, but also bring some comfort to the families of the missing person.

Li Du and others suddenly realized that the power of science and technology had developed to this point.

They put away the photo, and if they happened to meet the old woman in the photo in the future, they would be willing to help take her home.

Banner's arrival made the originally pleasant atmosphere disappear without a trace, especially after looking at the photos on the official website of the Missing Persons Center, the group became a little dull.

Hans adjusted the atmosphere and said, "Speaking of which, we are not familiar with it, what do you do? Do you like diving?"

Adrien replied: "I envy divers, but unfortunately I can't, my job is the opposite of yours, I am a geological prospector. ”

"Well, our work is similar, I also work with land and minerals, and I work in gem mining in New South Wales. A middle-aged man named Bob Bryan said.

His child was one of four abducted children recovered, but unfortunately, his child was the one who suffered brain damage from drugs and lack of oxygen.

Hearing his words, Li Du's heart moved, and he asked, "Gem digging?" Is it a black opal?"

Black opals are Australia's most famous specialty gemstones, and are found in scattered areas, but the best mining areas are concentrated around Lightning Ridge in New South Wales.

This is like black gold abalone, which can be found in many parts of Australia, but the main production area is around Golden Island.

Bob nodded and smiled, "Yes, I'm a Black Opal Seeker. ”

"Wow, plutocracy. Adrien said enviously.

Black opal is one of the most valuable gemstones, more expensive than fire opal, and you can basically eat and wear it for a year when you dig a piece.

Bob smiled helplessly: "I'm not the lucky gem hunter you remember, so far, I've only found two opals." But it doesn't matter, I have found the most valuable treasure of my life, my son, thank God!"

This is really a coincidence, Li Du came to Australia this time in addition to fishing for black gold abalone, but also wanted to see black opal, a gemstone.

He was preparing to visit New South Wales at the end of the black gold abalone fishing season in April, and he didn't expect to meet a connoisseur here.

So he held out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Bob Bryan, I'm also a gem hunter, and I've been going to visit the Lightning Ridge area lately." ”

This is fate, the two got together and suddenly came to a common topic.

Li Du asked him about the production of black opals in the Lightning Ridge area, and asked him about the rules for searching for black opals in Australia, and Bob was very grateful to him, so he knew everything.
