Chapter 182: Auction Bidding
Coleman and Lori looked at it for a long time, Steven knelt on the ground, his facial expression was very sad, as if he was crying, and there was nothing special about it!
Wang Lei pointed to the small room where Steven was being held: "Didn't you see it?" The room is so cramped, I estimate that it is less than a meter wide and no more than 2 meters long."
Although the space where Steven stayed was small, a toilet could be faintly seen in the back. This means that the problem of Steven staying here to sleep and the bathroom can be solved.
Ahead of everyone's sight, perhaps Steven's captor will make a small opening so that food can be brought in. Well, maybe Steven has been locked up in here for a long time.
Coleman and Lori were still under Wang Lei's guidance after the most difficult time, and they found out what Wang Lei really felt strange. There are no doors or windows in this space.
"No matter how private a place is, there can be no windows, but it shouldn't be without doors." Wang Lei groaned, speaking slowly, and Coleman and Lori could hear it clearly.
The reason for the lack of a door is not complicated, and that is that the room was built and sealed directly according to Steven's current location.
"Perhaps, the video you saw Steven being auctioned for the first time six years ago is exactly the same as it is now, except for the addition of these walls." Wang Lei is saying this to Lori.
6 years ago,Lori united with multiple law enforcement agencies,Launched a massive manhunt and arrest operation,Finally,When Lori targeted Los Angeles,The target disappearedγ
Wang Lei's current words didn't have any sarcasm, but Lori heard it in her ears, she thought that Wang Lei was laughing at her, the suspect who kidnapped and kidnapped Steven didn't move his position for 6 years, but he didn't do anything.
Turning on a computer next to him, Wang Lei asked: "Cowman, Lori, which of you is good at it, call up that video website and take a look, fishing has always been a good sport, and I like it too." β
"I'm the best at computers, I'll do it." Wang Shui'er's voice came from the door, and Yang Qian and Julie pursed their lips and stood behind her with a smile.
The three women went to the mall for a while, Wang Shui'er was always worried that Wang Lei was lazy and didn't eat, because this kind of behavior was caught by the three women once, so Wang Shui'er dragged Yang Qian and Julie back home.
Wang Shui'er was very proud and wrinkled her nose: "I used to play with the computer every day when I had nothing to do at home, and I also found a hacker forum to learn a lot, so I know it!" β
To say, Wang Shui'er's computer skills are definitely not as good as the professionals of the FBI Information Processing Center, however, because of the big tracking launched by Lori 6 years ago, it is estimated that Xiang Iran should have some understanding of the skills and techniques of those personnel in the Information Processing Center, and Wang Shui'er took over this work.
Lori was even more dissatisfied, she thought that how could a non-professional woman play around with these things! On the way here, Coleman had already introduced her to the three women in Wang Lei's house, Coleman only mentioned lightly, and Lori was misled into thinking that these were all Wang Lei's lovers.
According to the website given by Lori, Wang Shui'er skillfully entered a page.
The page is very simple, there is a video in the middle, and the content played after clicking on it is the same as the videotape, except for the auction countdown below, which has only 16 and a half hours left.
In fact, everyone understands these basic things, Yang Qian and Julie asked at the same time: "Don't you have the source of the online tracking video?" β
Both Coleman and Lori shook their heads, this video site was reposted through a server set up in Russia, if you want to track it, it's just that the connection of documents and procedures between countries is at least more than 24 hours, and Steven has long known where the suspect sold it.
There is a dialog box at the bottom of the page, which is for people who are interested in buying to quote or consult. Wang Shui'er moved the mouse to the dialog box and looked back at Wang Lei.
"Lori, it's your turn?" Wang Lei Nunu mouthed, Lori hadn't reacted yet, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Wang Lei shook his head, women, how to do things are inattentive, always distracted: "You have been in the anti-child crime team for so many years, I don't believe that there are no code words in this kind of online contact, right?" β
This is a very simple question, Lori blushed a little, and immediately told Wang Shui'er the way to ask the other party, a word "VERY".
After a second, the other party immediately replied with a question mark, and Lori explained that it was the other party asking "Are you interested?" β
Wang Shui'er once again knocked down an offer of $2,000 under Lori's instructions, and then asked the other party how to pay and receive the goods.
Unexpectedly, the webpage was suddenly closed by the other party.
Everyone looked at each other, what was going on, Wang Lei didn't know what to do, and Cowman was also confused. After staying for a few seconds, Lori's face changed: "Turn on the TV, turn on the TV." β
On the screen, a large number of reporters blocked the door of the FBI's Los Angeles branch, and a host was holding a long microphone and talking: "Six years ago, the suspect who auctioned off young children that the FBI had been tracking reappeared on the Internet, and the auction was still the same child......"
The reason why the suspect suddenly closed the page was because he was also watching the news, and everyone suddenly realized.
Wang Lei knocked on the table and asked, "Lori, can you take a look at the list of all the suspects you asked 6 years ago?" β
Wang Lei has an idea in his heart, 6 years ago, the suspect was disappearing under the pursuit of Lori, and now, the suspect is also following the FBI's movements through the news at any time.
"The suspect is very concerned about your actions, Lori, I think, maybe you met the suspect 6 years ago, maybe he participated in your big manhunt as a volunteer." After thinking about it for a while, Wang Lei still expressed his opinion, although there is no way to confirm it for the time being.
Lori nodded, glanced at Wang Lei's re-lit cigarette irritably, and hurried out without saying a word, going back to get all the list information.
This time, Coleman discovered Lori's weirdness, not to mention the sensitive three women. Wang Shui'er pouted: "This Lori is so annoying, she wants Wang Lei to help, and she has an inexplicable attitude." β
Wang Lei laughed, it was better to hate himself, no one stipulated that a woman must like herself, and pointed at Coleman: "Lori should be the type of Coleman if she wants to like it, like my body and weight, I won't let women like it." Haha
The computer screen in front of Wang Shui'er flashed, turned on again, and it was still the same picture. The other party replied with one word, "wait".
It will definitely have to wait, according to the current display on the screen, there is another person besides Wang Shui'er who bids $1,000, and of course the other party will hope that the price will be higher and more people will participate in the auction.
Lori came back an hour later, with a stack of documents in her hand. The countdown on the screen is only 15 hours, Wang Lei is no longer polite, he directly took the list, and distributed a few cards to each person: "Select the volunteers who have participated the most times, and the list of suspects who live in Los Angeles is also selected." β
On the television screen, more reporters focused on the Los Angeles City Police press conference, which was held by the police on a temporary basis, and the police spokesman was answering reporters' questions.
According to a police spokesperson, the FBI's Anti-Child Crime Unit has requested additional police reinforcements, and the police will vigorously cooperate with this operation, and will once again conduct a search of all places in Los Angeles where Steven may be hiding, and at the same time ask the general public to actively cooperate and support as volunteers.
The webpage was closed again, and Wang Shui'er looked helplessly at the screen, she had been trying to hack into the servers in Russia, but there was certainly no sign of success.
Coleman was anxious: "Lori, when did you make a request to the police, why don't I know about it?" Don't you know that such an important matter as Ludao requires my consent? β
This was the decision and behavior Lori had just made on the way back to get the list information, and she no longer trusted Coleman's attempt to solve the case while staying in a private house and using a common laptop that could be bought everywhere in the market.
Especially the Chinese fat man, a person who has criminal tendencies at a glance, Coleman actually believed him, and the more Lori thought about it, the more angry she became, so she directly contacted the Los Angeles police and made her own arrangements.
Wang Lei was speechless, quite speechless. Apparently the same action as 6 years ago, is it possible that if it failed 6 years ago, it will succeed this time?
What's more, every action you Lori took was announced to the world in advance, and the suspect was able to successfully escape 6 years ago, how could it be possible for you to be caught this time.
Shaking his head, Wang Lei no longer paid attention to this impulsive woman, left her aside, and flipped through the list with Kaulman and the three women.
At the end of the day, a total of three volunteer lists and one suspect name were selected.
Norman? Durres, 43, elementary school principal, volunteered in all four Los Angeles raids.
Mike? Brad, 45, librarian, volunteered for 3 manhunts.
David? Nix, 38, a firefighter, participated in 3 manhunts as a volunteer.
The only suspect name, Evan? Hoffman, 50, spent three years in prison for molesting a young child on a farm in the suburbs of Los Angeles.
Wang Shui'er stayed at home and monitored the web page at any time, Wang Lei and Julie went to the farm in a group, Coleman went to elementary school alone, Lori and Yang Qian went to the library and fire brigade together, after Wang Lei was dispatched, Lori finally smiled because she didn't have to be with this nasty fat man.
At the same time, Wang Lei asked Cowman to contact the police, inform the waiting side for news, and stop all actions for the time being, without giving the suspect a relaxed environment, how could the fish bite the bait.
Lori also heard Wang Lei's suggestion, turned her head, and was very dismissive of Coleman's orders. Walking to the car, Lori saw Yang Qian looking at her with a smile, and the atmosphere between the two women was full of sparks in an instant.
