No matter how Julie asked, the boy never spoke, and his eyes were quite strange.

In front of the boy, there is a tripod, and at the top is a video camera, which is directly connected to the computer on the table. Wang Shui'er's phone called: "Wang Lei, I saw you in the video." ”

Wang Lei raised his hand to turn off the camera, and for the time being, Julie went to communicate with the boy, he called Cowman, and the two searched all the rooms again.

In the bedroom that was hidden, Wang Lei looked at it very carefully, there was a photo frame on the bedside table, it was a group photo, an adult man hugged the boy who was about a few years ago, and the two of them laughed happily.

Wang Lei put down the photo, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled and meaningful. Coleman also found several pairs of shoes for adult men and children, which basically verified some of Wang's conjectures.

Back in the boy's room, he sat on the chair and confronted Julie in silence, Julie had a big head, and looked at Wang Lei and Coleman for help.

Coleman pushed Wang Lei, he is not used to doing this kind of persuasion work, and he is good at interrogating suspects, but this is a child and cannot be generalized.

Since they are all looking at themselves, Wang Lei does not shirk, if he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, he is stupid, but Wang Lei has always thought that knowing how to pretend and not understanding is called pretending and hypocrisy, and he is not used to those twists and turns.

"You're using your body to cheat money, right?" Wang Lei's words startled Julie and Cowleman, but after thinking about it, it was in line with the facts.

When they entered, the boy was alone in the room, and the rope on the boy's body could easily fall off, and the boy was not aware of the restriction of his freedom of movement.

This also dispelled Julie and Coleman's idea that maybe someone was watching the boy around. Coleman sank his face: "You also know that we are the FBI, and your behavior is suspected of a crime, do you know it?" ”

The boy finally spoke, giving Coleman an idiot look: "Do you know that I'm only 14 years old. ”

Coleman was embarrassed that the boy was under the age of 14 and did not need to bear any legal responsibility. Moreover, the boy added: "I didn't hurt anyone, I just filmed myself in front of the video, did I break any law." ”

Julie looked at Coleman, who was completely speechless, with no offense and no charges being placed on his head, even if he logged on to a pedophile website and was filming his own videos.

Julie pushed Coleman, asking him to go out first, and asked Wang Lei to wait outside, she wanted to talk to the child alone. Women and children are two groups that are always prone to mutual affection.

Wang Shui'er called again, and this time Wang Shui'er's voice was a little faster: "Steven's video is on again, Wang Lei, and now the countdown is only 15 hours." Moreover, someone made a bid of $6000! ”

$6,000, on the Internet's pedophile sites, is enough to buy 2 children. Coleman was amazed, he didn't expect anyone to offer such a high price.

There was a noisy footsteps outside the door, and Lori pushed open the door in full armor, and it was not the imaginary criminal who greeted her, but Wang Lei and Kaleman who were staring at her with a smile.

"Why are you here, suspect?" Lori was very angry, very angry, and someone would grab her in front of her.

Julie accompanied the boy out of the inner room: "There are no suspects here. The boy was really frightened this time and didn't dare to do it again as sarcastically as Coleman.

Where could Lori believe Julie's words, what she suspected was that the three of Colman were unwilling to make meritorious contributions. With a wave of his hand, several team members rushed into the back room, and after a while, they took out the camera and computer, and the video on the computer was also called up on the desktop.

Lori was very proud: "This is the matter of our anti-child crime team, and you have no right to interfere." Come, bring him back for questioning, take his things with you, and find out his family at the same time. Lori pointed at the boy and commanded.

The boy was just about to leave, when Lori stretched out a hand to stop him on the chest: "What's your name?" ”

"Mike? Kenneth. Julie was very embarrassed, she had been comforting the boy softly, wanting to know the boy's name, the boy resisted, and Lori made him speak honestly with a cold word.

looked at Wang Lei contemptuously, nodded to Cowman, Lori and her team members quickly evacuated, and there were two men and one woman left in the room, looking at each other helplessly.

Coleman doesn't have too many ways to take Lori, Lori is also an old man of the FBI, and her qualifications are not shallow, as long as she doesn't violate the big principles, Coleman can't even say it.

This was originally a case of the Anti-Child Crime Team, and just as Lori didn't ask for help, Coleman, as the head of the branch, couldn't interfere too much.

Shaking his head, Wang Lei said: "Let's go, what are we still standing here for." ”

Now I can't continue to investigate, Mike's computer should have clues, since he has an account on a transnational pedophile website, maybe he really knows what the inside story is, even some marginal news can be used as a breakthrough.

Wang Shui'er and Yang Qian were sitting in front of the computer, their faces were sad, in the video, Steven was crying sadly, and kept pleading against the wall, and when she saw Wang Lei and the three of them coming back, Yang Qian immediately stood up.

"How?" Yang Qian asked eagerly, and Wang Shui'er's eyes were also focused on Wang Lei and the three of them.

Julie told what happened, Yang Qian and Wang Shui'er were furious, how could there be such a woman, as the leader of the anti-child crime team, put her dissatisfaction above the safety of a child who was about to be bought and ravaged by pedophiles.

Wang Lei sat down, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, just now he saw that the countdown to the auction in front of Wang Shui'er was only a little more than 13 hours.

The buyer who bid $6,000, Wang Shui'er did not find the address, the buyer was very cunning, and the price was quoted through a multinational dedicated server provided by a pedophile organization, leaving not enough time for everyone to track down.

FBI Los Angeles Branch, Lori and Mike sit in the interrogation room, Mike keeps his head down and doesn't look at Lori.

"Mike, do you know the video of Steven being auctioned?" Lori asked.

Mike stared at his finger and replied in a whisper, "I've seen it once, but I don't know his name." ”

The conversation began in such a relatively peaceful atmosphere.,But,After a few words,Lori's anger is getting bigger and bigger.。 Mike didn't know anything about Steven.

Mike's explanation for his behavior is that he finds it amusing, and he refuses to admit that he has been exposed to even one pedophile, even on the Internet, Mike denies it.

Mike's father, Lori, found out, Kenny? Kenneth, 46, unemployed, alcoholic, and now missing.

Half an hour later, Lori slapped the table and left angrily. Mike is only 14 years old, this is the biggest difficulty, any behavior that crosses the line, will only end up sending Lori herself to prison.

She may be able to threaten or even intimidate Mike without a lawyer, and the others, Lori doesn't dare, and she won't, she also has her own bottom line.

After two consecutive inconclusive inquiries to Mike, after a long hesitation, Lori found Coleman.

When Coleman received the call, he and Wang Lei were re-enacting the case little by little, and the three women were cooking in the kitchen.

Wang Lei believes that he may have to go to Massachusetts, and when a few of his own people can't learn about other clues, maybe they can find a breakthrough in the place where the crime occurred.

Unexpectedly, Lori was willing to let Wang Lei participate in Mike's questioning, and Cowman was very happy. Wang Lei gave him a basin of cold water head-on: "What I want is to bring Mike to the plane, so as to save time, you can contact Lori." ”

Before going out, in the face of the questioning of the three women, Wang Lei calmed them down with one sentence: "I went to Massachusetts just to find an entry point." If there's something I can follow, I need you to support me here, otherwise time won't run out. ”

After informing Robert, Coleman and Wang Lei rushed to the airport, where Lori and Mike were waiting at the Boeing hatch.

It's a long-distance trip of more than 5 hours.,Lori watched Mike very closely.,Wang Lei wants to ask.,She's been guarding the side.,Coleman doesn't know what point of conflict between Lori and Wang Lei.,He thinks the previous Lori is very easy to get along with.。

Coleman sat down beside Wang Lei and participated in the questioning of Mike.

"Mike, did you know that a boy about your age is about to be sold to a pedophile? I can guess that pedophile would have beaten him, tortured him, and maybe imprisoned him in a dark basement ever after. Wang Lei's words made Mike's body tremble a little.

The child's inquiry must not be rushed, after clarifying the stakes, to give the child a time to think and buffer, Wang Lei's scale is well grasped.

Coleman gave Mike a drink and a sandwich, no one bothered Mike anymore, and Wang Lei had already begun to sleep.

After getting off the plane, the local FBI branch had already transferred an SUV for their use. After driving for more than an hour, when standing in front of Steven's house, Wang Lei calculated the remaining time in his heart - the last 6 hours.

The woman who opened the door was not very old, but she was already a little old, and the sadness between her eyebrows was faintly visible.

Sarah was surprised that it was an FBI agent who came to visit, she recognized Lori and let a few people into the room, Sarah asked a little hesitantly, "Excuse me, you guys?" ”

Wang Lei directly opened the laptop, clicked on the video, and pushed the notebook to Sarah: "Take a look, is this Steven?" ”

After just one glance, Sarah's body shook and almost fell headlong, she grabbed Lori's arm tightly and held her, in pain.

Nodding her head, Sarah whimpered, "Steven, this ...... This is...... It's mine...... My Steven......"

Mike cowered in the corner of the room, looking at Sarah in great grief, as if there was a reflection of light in his eyes.
