Barbara put on the coat she had put on before going out, and walked quickly across the empty road that was eerily illuminated by orange lights, and came to the only house on the street that was still lit.

Roy has been waiting here for a long time.

"Call me so late, I guess what's important?" Barbara asked.

"The kidnapped girl." As Roy spoke, he had already taken her and walked towards the house, "The mission of the crime scene investigation team has been completed, and now only a few police officers on duty are left to cordon off the scene. I've already said hello to them and gotten permission to enter the investigation, so we can just wait for you to come in and check it out. ”

"Why are you waiting for me?"

"You might be able to help me capture more detail."

"I thought you never missed the details."

"It's just looking. People are not machines, and anyone will miss something. "Trust me, you've helped me more than you thought you could have been. ”

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the restaurant. Mr. Benny Johnson, grim-faced, sat at the table, his face haggard.

"Mr. Johnson, we are detective consultants working with the Gotham Police Department, and we are here to investigate your daughter's disappearance." "We wanted to see the site. ”

Mr. Johnson looked up at them, and the lead-filled eyelids were hard to look at.

"But I've shown it to the police." "The gang went into my daughter's bedroom with a bunch of weird instruments and tinkered with them for a long time, and now they're gone, saying I should lock the door and not let anyone in for the sake of protecting the scene," he said. ”

"Yes, but we are not police officers, but detective consultants who work independently. We have a greater chance of finding your daughter – if you work together. We've gotten permission from the detective in charge of the scene. ”

Johnson glanced at them and sighed.

"As long as I can bring my daughter back, it doesn't matter to anyone." Johnson stood up, pulled out his keys, and walked in the direction of the bedroom.

Roy frowned lightly and whispered in Barbara's ear, "Car keys, Maybach." ”

Barbara was stunned for a moment, and also whispered, "You mean...... Okay, but you have to know that a lot of people carry keys like this just to make them look glamorous, right? It doesn't necessarily mean that he actually owns the car. ”

Roy didn't speak again.

Johnson pushed open the bedroom door: "This is my daughter's bedroom." ”

The two of them each put on their gloves and walked into the room.

In the room of a girl under the age of ten, in addition to the bed and wardrobe, there is basically only a pile of rag dolls in the room.

"This bed looks small, is she the only one?" Barbara asked, "What about her mother?" ”

"We're divorced, the year before last." "She chose to follow me on her own, she's very strong, and sometimes I really feel ashamed of her...... Please, I'll do anything to bring her back. ”

"Then let's start with the truth, Johnson shows up." Roy said coldly.

"What?" Johnson was stunned, "I've told the police everything I know." ”

"I'm afraid not all." Roy said, opening the closet, "Your home location and size don't seem to be a problem, from your daily clothes. Shoes, watches, and hair treatments don't show anything that doesn't match your financial situation, but fathers are always more generous when it comes to their daughters, right? ”

"That's ......"

"I counted three different international brands, as well as two custom-made products. As far as I know, none of them are priced beyond your financial situation, Mr. Johnson. Roy said, "Maybe you would like to start with why you can afford such a price of children's clothing, or your key, although it was just a flash, but I can confidently see that it is Maybach." ”

Johnson's face was rather ugly, and the fierce psychological struggle was almost clearly written on his face.

After the two stared at him for a moment, Barbara said: "Based on the experience of handling cases, we all know that no matter what you do to make you rich quietly, it often has a price. There is a good chance that the case of your daughter's snatching is related to it. I am also the daughter of a father, and just now you said that you are willing to do everything to save your daughter, and I believe that you said this from the bottom of your heart, and we will do our best to save her. But if you don't be honest with each other, I'm afraid we can't do anything about it. ”

Johnson dug his fingers into his already tousled hair, looking pained.

"Now, be honest and answer my question, Mr. Johnson." Roy asked aggressively, "Did the kidnappers contact you?" Do you know why they took your daughter? ”

"Okay, okay, I know." Johnson sat on the edge of the bed with a pale face, "But...... God, it's not as simple as you think, right? ”

"But you're not willing to pay the ransom? Or something else that they want? Barbara asked, frowning.

Johnson waved his hand: "It's not that simple. Of course I want my baby daughter back...... I'm willing to do anything. ”

"Let's start at the beginning." Roy said, "Be clear. ”

Johnson thought for a moment and said, "Okay. As you know, I work for the Perriolis consortium and I'm the accountant there. I write down every remuneration and contract in cursive...... That's what I do. This job made me have to deal with countless zeros every day, and it was too hard to withstand temptation, so I ended up ...... I gave myself a raise. ”

"How much?" Barbara asked.

"Two hundred...... Ten thousand. He said hesitantly.

"Ha, that's generous." Barbara mocked.

Johnson wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I copied all the accounts...... On miniature film, you know, after all, I always had to have an insurance policy against the unexpected when I did those things. I hid the tape with my daughter, no one would have thought that it should be safe there. ”

"But someone found out about your problem and took your daughter." Barbara said, "You think your company did it?" Why don't they sue you and settle it with blackmail? ”

"You don't know, the Perriolis consortium's money is never clean." He waved his hand, "I'm their bookkeeper, and I know very well that they can't get help from the police because that would mean making dirty accounts public." ”

"So they want accounts on tape." Barbara asked, "Do you think those accounts are more important than your daughter?" ”

"Like I said, it's not that simple. If I could, I would have given them the accounts long ago. Mr. Johnson grimaced and said, "The tape is hidden in my daughter's toy teddy bear...... It seems to have been taken away by them. If I tell them that the tape is already in their hands...... My daughter will never survive today! (To be continued.) )
