It was already dusk when the SUV drove into the town, and with the support of the GPS satellite positioning of the branch information center at any time, Coleman did not even think about going to the town's police station, and directly ordered Paul to drive to Tanit's house.

There are a lot of people in Tanit's family, and when the SUV is parked at the door, everyone can hear all kinds of sounds inside. Coleman rang the doorbell, and it was opened by a man in his 30s, his shirt ironed straight, and his pale gold watch was always eye-catching.

took out the wallet, opened it and handed it to the man: "FBI, we are talking to Tanit's parents, are you?" ”

The sadness on the man's face dissipated a lot, and he excitedly stretched out his hand to hold Coleman: "I'm Brian, the mayor of the town, come in quickly." ”

Brian ushered the crowd in, and several other men and women left in due time, leaving a quiet space for everyone.

A young woman came out of the room, the anxiety and uneasiness on her face were very obvious, Brian pointed to her and introduced: "Rebecca, Tanit's mother, Rebecca, several of them are from the FBI, come over to help us find Tanit." ”

It's a very old house, not only is it old-fashioned, but the furniture in the house is old-fashioned, but it is very well coordinated.

Several people randomly found a place to sit down, and Wang Lei's habitual jacket stood by the wall, looking around.

Rebecca was in the worst mood, and she couldn't help but sobbed as she spoke, and Brian put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her softly.

Tanit did well in school, did very well at home and school, did not participate in any rebellious girl activities, did not take drugs or drink, and was always regarded by Rebecca and Andre as a pearl in the palm of her hand.

The morning before, Tanit had slept late because he had been playing on the computer for a long time at night, so he woke up about 10 minutes later than usual.

When she went out after breakfast, Rebecca also asked her daughter if she needed to drive her to school and if she would miss the school bus. Tanit laughed and shook his head, and ran out of the house with a puff of smoke.

Paul was quick to respond: "Does Tanit go online a lot? Can we take a look at her computer? ”

Of course, Rebecca wanted to find her daughter, but she wiped away her tears and said, "We don't have an internet connection, and Tanit's computer is mainly used by her to edit and make some videos or photos that she has taken herself." ”

There is no Internet, Paul is sad, he has been pondering the case on the way here, in his opinion, the biggest possibility is that Tanit met someone on the Internet and was deceived by someone else.

Coleman smiled inwardly, Paul was driven and idealistic, but he was a little younger and lacked the necessary experience. You must know that in a case, the most taboo thing is to blindly take any action before you find out the situation, and you didn't see Wang Lei still wandering around the living room.

There are not many photos in the living room, and Wang Lei has long noticed this. In these few photos, most of them have Mayor Brian.

Coleman apparently noticed this as well: "Rebecca, can you take Julie to Tanit's room?" We'd like to talk to Brian alone. ”

In Rebecca's puzzled face, Julie helped her upstairs, Tanit's room was upstairs, and everyone had already understood the basic situation.

Brian's reason for being here is simple, the town is sparsely populated and everyone knows each other. His status is a bit more special, he is Tanit's godfather.

Tanit's father died of a tumor when she was 5 years old, and Brian has been caring for Rebecca and her daughter ever since.

Coleman suddenly asked, "Brian, where were you when Tanit disappeared yesterday morning?" ”

It's not that Coleman is suspicious of Brian, even Wang Lei has doubts in his heart. Brian has just behaved like the head of the family, and pedophiles don't distinguish between urban and small towns.

Brian didn't expect Cowman to ask like this, he was stunned, and after understanding the meaning, he was immediately furious: "I have always regarded Tanit as my own daughter. And, yesterday morning from 7 to 9 a.m., I was waiting at the bar for the bread delivery worker to come over, and my clerks could testify. ”

Brian opened a bar in the heart of town, one of the most luxurious and well-stocked of the town's only three bars.

Rebecca noticed that Tanit's disappearance had happened after school at noon, and Rebecca, who couldn't wait for her daughter to come home, called the school and learned that her daughter hadn't been to school all morning.

The mother who thought that her daughter didn't want to go to school because she was tired or for other reasons didn't care at first, her daughter has always been so well-behaved, and she always has to go home after playing for a long time.

By the afternoon, when the town's students were back in school, Rebecca panicked, and she called Brian and called the town's police station.

The police take Rebecca with them to the school, and Brian comes to accompany her. The headmaster of the school hurriedly called Tanit's classmates and teachers to ask about it, and since morning, no one has seen Tanit.

The school bus driver was also questioned by the police, and the black driver, who was about as fat as Wang Lei, shrugged his shoulders, and he did not see Tanit among the children waiting for the bus in the morning.

Brian immediately mobilized the entire town to go out and did a complete search of the town, but he couldn't find Tanit.

No one had seen Tanit's bag, as if Tanit had suddenly disappeared into thin air after leaving the house in the early morning.

Quite different from the enthusiasm that greeted Coleman through the door, Brian felt deeply humiliated, and stood up after coldly introducing the situation: "I'm going to the bar, I've set up a search center there, and I'll give a reward of $3,000 tonight." ”

As soon as Brian left the house, Coleman immediately arranged for Paul: "You go to the bar right away and find a way to find Brian's clerk and verify his alibi." ”

Rebecca pushed the door of Tanit's room open and left Julie to take care of herself, she was so sad and depressed that she was a little weak, and wanted to go back to her room and lie down, so that Julie could call her again if she had something to do.

The room is not big or small, and the walls are not the movie posters and celebrity photos that ordinary girls like, but the photos of Tanit and another girl.

After carefully distinguishing it, Julie found that it was not all photos, some of them were obviously large portraits printed out of video screenshots, and compared with the photos, the clarity was slightly inferior to one level.

A single bed leans against the wall, and in front of the window is an old-fashioned writing desk with a computer monitor that looks like an old-fashioned small television.

Julie put her head behind the computer to look at it, and then bent down to check the bottom of the desk, there was indeed no network cable, it was a computer isolated from the world.

The computer chair is not bad, the little girl has made a lot of decorations on it, and it is very soft, Julie sat on it and tried it, and it was very comfortable.

Flipping the switch on the mainframe, Julie tried to pull open the only drawer on her desk while waiting for the computer to boot up.

The drawer is locked and cannot be opened. The little girl shouldn't have the key with her, it's easy to lose it, according to the behavior judgment rule given by Wang Lei, Julie looked around the computer.

Behind the display, there is a small plush rag doll with an ornament hanging around its neck, Julie smiled slightly, that is not an ornament, that is the key to the drawer.

In the drawer are a few CDs, in addition to the lipsticks that girls generally love, cheap necklaces, a few love letters written by boys, and so on.

Without rushing to search for the files on the computer, Julie directly took out the disc and stuffed a disc into the computer, which stood still for a few seconds before the screen began to play.

It's a very brisk video, half an hour long.

During this half hour, Tanit always walked through the streets of the town with another girl.

In front of every attraction and every house, two people will stop to give a background introduction to the camera, and then either sing a few more words of song or do a dance that maybe only they can understand.

Julie, another girl in the video, has also seen it, and in the photos or posters posted on the wall, it can be seen that this girl has a very good relationship with Tanit.

In the video, the two little girls are generally holding hands, or you are leaning on me, I am leaning on you, or hugging and cheering.

Downstairs, Coleman was asking Wang Lei's opinion on the current handling method, Wang Lei rubbed his chin: "For the time being, this can only be the case, the data collection is not enough, and we can't make a judgment on many things now." ”

Wang Lei and Coleman are worried about whether Tanit is dead now, and their opinions on this issue are very similar, and Wang Lei's own feelings are the same.

From the moment he entered the town, Wang Lei had a wonderful feeling, he felt that Tanit should still be in the town, but he didn't know how long he could hold on.

Because this intuition is too subtle, sometimes accurate, and sometimes of course it will not work, Wang Lei did not tell the other three people. After all, if you want to solve any case, you still have to start with every piece of conclusive evidence collected.

Behavioral analysis is very powerful, but it is not omnipotent, otherwise Wang Lei would not do physical training every day, and he would go to the FBI Los Angeles branch to do design training when he has time, which are a solid foundation for cracking a case.

There are three discs fired by Tanit, two of which are recorded as small town travel videos plus a friendship between the two girls, and Julie puts the two she has seen in a drawer and pulls out the last disc.

A few minutes later, Julie called Coleman, because Rebecca was resting in the next room, and her voice was very low: "Coleman, you come up with Wang Lei immediately, I have something here for you to see." ”
