Chapter 69 The Only Clue

Zeng Yingjian didn't sleep all night, lying on the bed and paying attention to the movement outside.

However, Joseph, who ran out in the middle of the night, did not come back until they got up.

Looking like that, Joseph should have gone out to fool around with his friends, but now that he hasn't come back, it's a little worrying.

That's Jessica's only brother, and if something happens, she's going to die of grief.

Zeng Yingjian regretted it a little, maybe he should have stopped Joseph at that time.

Zeng Yingjian looked at Jessica with some guilt, however, Jessica should not have found out that her money was stolen, and when she heard Zeng Yingjian say this, she turned her head and found that her brother's bedroom door was open.

"Huh? He hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so where did he go? ”

Jessica didn't think much of it, shook her head in confusion, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Zeng Yingjian wanted to tell her the truth, but he didn't know how to explain it, and he hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't say it.

In the age when there were no mobile phones, what about telling her?

Will she be able to contact her brother?

What can she do but worry?

"Maybe Joseph went out to drink and got drunk, so he didn't come back, and when he sobered up, he came back!"

It's not out of the question.

At this time, Zeng Yingjian could only try to think on the bright side.

However, the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, Jessica washed up and walked into the bedroom, and in just a few seconds, Jessica's exclamation came from the bedroom:

"Ahh

Then I saw her running out in a panic, looking at Zeng Yingjian helplessly:

"Steve, my money is gone! It must have been Joseph who did it! When did he get it? What is he going to do with the money? Wouldn't go to drugs, would you? What to do? ”

The younger brother disappeared and stole the money, thinking of those extreme situations, Jessica was suddenly dispossessed, and she didn't even have time to think: When the younger brother stole the money, did he discover the secret between her and Zeng Yingjian?

She didn't doubt Zeng Yingjian, which made him very pleased.

In fact, this is normal, but as long as her brain is not broken, she will not suspect Zeng Yingjian - sleeping in a bed without moving her, how can she steal her little money?

"Don't worry, I'll see!"

Now Zeng Yingjian can tell some truth, he put his arm on her shoulder and comforted her, then walked quickly into Joseph's bedroom, came to the bedside, and put his hand into the bed.

Oh, this is all learned in novels.

This time, the novel is not deceiving, and it is really cold in the bed.

"It's cold in the bed, he should have been gone for a while!"

Zeng Yingjian turned his head to look at Jessica and told her the worse news.

Jessica was still a little puzzled by his behavior, but when she heard him say this, she hurriedly ran over and reached out to touch the bed.

Sure enough, it was cold!

"Ahh What to do? He's going to be fine, right? ”

After confirming this "fact", Jessica became more and more panicked, so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, and she was about to cry.

She's just an eighteen-year-old girl, what can she do when something like this happens?

Just as Zeng Yingjian expected, she didn't have anything to do except worry and anxiety.

Seeing her helplessness, Zeng Yingjian was distressed, and hurriedly reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, comforting:

"Don't worry! Maybe he's just out with friends, or maybe he'll be back later! ”

"Really?" Listening to Zeng Yingjian's words, Jessica seemed to see hope and looked at him expectantly.

"Really!" Zeng Yingjian could only nod stiffly.

Jessica was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and immediately chose to believe him, the panic and anxiety on her face eased a lot, and she calmed down a little.

Zeng Yingjian helped her, came to the living room, sat on the sofa, and continued to comfort softly:

"Joseph is a good boy at first glance, and he certainly won't mess around! You should trust him! It's definitely fine! ”

"That's right! He's a good boy! It's going to be fine! It's going to be fine! ”

Jessica nodded, muttering to herself, trying to convince herself, but the next moment, she panicked again:

"Nope. He used to be a good boy, but since his parents died, his schoolwork has gotten worse and worse! I thought he was just in a bad mood. He's been asking me for money a few times lately, and I should have noticed. No! Steve, something must have happened to Joseph! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Woooooo ”

Thinking back to her brother's recent abnormality and thinking of her carelessness, Jessica was worried again, and couldn't hold back her tears anymore, tears welling up in her eyes, and she fell into deep self-blame.

Ay!

She is still a child herself, but after her parents passed away, she has to take care of her younger brother, how can she have so much energy to pay attention to the changes in her younger brother?

Zeng Yingjian looked at her distressedly and reached out to hug her into his arms.

Jessica fell into his arms, but she cried even louder.

Zeng Yingjian had no choice but to continue to comfort:

"It's not your fault! Don't worry, Joseph will be fine! I'll help you get him back! ”

Hearing this, Jessica stopped crying and raised her head from his arms, her big eyes full of tears were full of hope:

"Really? Steve, will you help me? ”

"Of course!" Zeng Yingjian stared into her eyes, nodded affirmatively, and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

"Thank you! Steve! ”

At this moment, Jessica had the backbone of her heart, felt relied on, and her tears finally stopped, and she looked at Zeng Yingjian gratefully.

Zeng Yingjian was a little ashamed, so he said two words of comfort and gained another "rainbow".

However, Jessica immediately panicked again:

"But where Joseph went, we don't know! Where do we go to find him? ”

"Don't worry, there will be a way! Let's go to the police first! ”

In fact, Zeng Yingjian has not many ways to do it, so he can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven!

He pretended to be confident, just trying to stabilize Jessica for the time being.

In fact, the only clues are the black car and the license plate number.

He didn't expect the American police in this era, and he didn't even notice that Rogers had falsified his identity five times in a row, so you could expect them to find someone?

chose to call the police, he had other plans. He was going to ask the police to check the car for him.

As for the license plate number, where did it come from?

Of course, I inquired from some neighbor old lady downstairs, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, got up and walked around, heard the horn, and saw Joseph get into the car.

Believe it or not, that's what Zeng Yingjian said to Jessica anyway.

The police station is not far away, less than two kilometers from Jessica's home, but the white police officer listened to Jessica's statement, but he did not mean to open a case for investigation:

"Miss, your brother may just go out to play with friends, or maybe he will go home in the afternoon. If he doesn't come home at night, you can report it again! ”

No matter how much Jessica pleaded, the police shook her head and refused.

People are also in a hurry! How can I have time to help you find the kids who ran away and fooled around?

In the end, Zeng Yingjian paid the price of $5 and begged the police to help him check the information of the car.

The police readily agreed.

However, the result gave Zeng Yingjian a slap in the face: the car was stolen last month, and the owner reported the case and it has not been solved!

, that's such a coincidence!

The only clue was broken.

Not to mention Jessica now, even Zeng Yingjian is a little desperate.

But he couldn't show it, he still looked confident, and smiled at Jessica:

"It's okay, let's go home and look for other clues."

Jessica could only listen to him.

The two hurried all the way home, and as soon as they opened the door, they found a letter on the ground, which must have been stuffed through the crack in the door.

Zeng Yingjian hurriedly picked up the envelope, and when he saw that it was marked "Jessica received", he handed it over.

Jessica hurriedly opened it, looked at it quickly, and then exclaimed:

"Ahh
