Vika gave Valkyria the gift he had prepared for little Queenie: "Ava, I'll leave it to you here. ”

She turned around and looked apologetic: "Chaosheng, I ........"

"It's okay, let's go." Hai Chaosheng stuffed a compression bag into her arms: "Don't forget to eat." ”

"Hmm!"

"Don't forget to contact me when you're done with the case."

"Not anymore." Vika remembered that she had released his pigeons, and that he had been outside the house for an unknown amount of time.

"That's it, I'll ask you regularly every day." Hai Chaosheng nodded her head affectionately, "Who told me to find a forgetful girlfriend?" ”

"Hmph." Vika snorted and grimaced.

Unbeknownst to him, a few steps away, Tao Zhu was watching the two interact intimately with a blank face.

"Oh, hehehe, Xiao Tao looks very unhappy." Laura clinked glasses with Braden, and they both drank the juice at the same time.

While enjoying the rare food, it is really good to admire Xiao Tao's iceberg face that has not changed for thousands of years, slowly cracking. She can't wait to get ready for the next party.

.............

The analysis team returned to the office space in the corner of IBIA.

"9-year-old Rachel. Scott, who disappeared a week ago. Her father, Barry. Scott, the man who drove away the Conrad car, was volunteering in the community at the time. Standing in front of the podium, Julian said, "They don't know exactly where they disappeared." ”

"What about her mother?"

"Donna. Wesley must have been marching in the streets with a group of people demanding that the asteroids be driven back to their hometown. Vika said as she sat down and saw everyone else looking at her. Hey, don't look at me like that, I didn't pay much attention to them, but it's really hard not to notice them because they're a big bunch of people wandering around the road I need to go through. ”

"They all thought that the child was staying with his classmates or had gone home on his own. It wasn't until 9 p.m. that the children didn't come home when they realized something was wrong and called the police. ”

Elementary schools, also known as elementary schools, basically end at 2 p.m. The children will play together or go home on their own.

Julian continued. "11-year-old Julia. Terry disappeared from home yesterday, her father was cooking in the kitchen, and her mom, who was giving her best friend at the time, Donna. Wesley called. And Julia. Terry was supposed to be swinging in his garden. ”

"After the second child went missing, Sergeant Vinson of the Rieds Police Department remembered the connection between the two children and the disappearance of the veterans that had caused a lot of excitement before, so he reported the two incidents," said Tauzhu. ”

When the word star network was mentioned, Tao Zhu's gaze stayed on Vika for a few seconds.

This made Vika startled, could it be that the boss knew that she was looking for someone to do the exposure on the star network?

Forget it, just do it this time, don't dare next time.

Julian continued, "The first thought of these parents was to get involved with the Conrad family. ”

Vika complained: "It's a weird brain circuit. Conrad is still in a coma, his wife is about to give birth, and his mother can't take care of two patients."

Julian said, "They felt that it was the other asteroid people who kidnapped the child in order to avenge Conrad. ”

"When something is involved in politics, it complicates simple things." Alexandra complained.

"So finding the child as soon as possible is a top priority." Tauju began to assign tasks, "Julian, Joshua, you guys go to the Ritz police station. Alexandra and Vika, you go to the families of the two victims to find out what happened. Braden and I went to their school to have a look. ”

.........

In Conrad's hospital room, an uninvited guest came.

"I know you're awake." The person who spoke was Hai Chaosheng.

He changed his warm male appearance when he was with Vika, and put on the mask expression in his daily business.

"Who are you?" Conrad slowly opened his eyes and asked weakly.

Hai Chaosheng put a business card on Conrad's cabinet: "I'm Hai Chaosheng from Jinling Teahouse, and I recently planned to open a technology company, and someone recommended you to me." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm going to go back to the army. I'm afraid I can't ......."

"Don't worry, I'm a serious businessman and don't plan to smuggle arms." Hai Chaosheng stood up and smiled slightly: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse me, if you want to treat Mrs. Zun's illness, as long as you have money, this hospital will also accept it, isn't it?" As he spoke, he took out a point card and put it on his business card, "This is your signing fee." ”

"Don't rush to get back to me." He stood up: "In any case, one more choice is not a bad thing. You tell me? ”

Watching Hai Chaosheng leave the ward. Conrad slowly raised his hand and placed his points card and business card in his hospital gown pocket.

..........

That night, after completing their tasks, everyone returned to the IBIA headquarters to meet again.

Laura has sifted through a list of people who live nearby and have criminal records.

Everyone drank strong coffee together and stayed up late to read the materials together.

Vika didn't even know when she fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was lying on the couch in the team leader's office, and the clothes on his body were Tao Zhu's "disposable coat".

The temperature of the room was so warm that even if she kicked off her clothes, she wouldn't catch a cold when she lay on the floor.

Somewhat embarrassed, Vika hung his coat on a standing hanger.

When I walked out of the office, it was blue and white outside, and it was already the morning of the second day.

She just wanted to go to the cafeteria to help everyone make breakfast.

I heard Uncle Braden's voice: "Hello, oh, okay...... We'll be right over. ”

After hanging up the phone, he raised his head and said with a solemn face: "A morning jogger found a young man's body in the Saints Park.

Saints Park, a remote place, may not have been so lively in years.

The police have set up a cordon, but not far from the periphery, there are dedicated reporters trying to get first-hand information.

The victim was a teenager who was on his knees with his hands together in a prayer pose.

He had a rope around his neck, and the other end of the rope was tied to a stick nailed into the lawn at the back to ensure that the body could remain in this position and not fall to the ground.

Vika followed Alexandra to scrutinize her surroundings.

Vika looked down and carefully examined the grass for possible clues: "This place is very remote, suitable as a place to dump corpses. ”

Alexandra took a few steps and turned around: "Oh....... Vika, come and see. ”

When Vika heard this, he immediately ran to her side.

The two stood on a small grassy slope behind the victim, and Alessandra pointed ahead, "See there?" ”

In the direction the victim is facing, in the same straight line, there is an Orthodox church.

A red sun rises from behind the onion-shaped dome, dyeing the cross a layer of rose gold.
