Dean returned to the hotel and was just about to take a shower when his mobile phone rang.

He picked it up and took a look, and found that it was Chesston, and couldn't help frowning: "This guy, can't he even stay up late and work overtime?" ”

The younger brother is not motivated, how can the boss sit back and enjoy his success?

It's not sensible.

He pressed the answer button and said hypocritically, "What's the matter, buddy?" ”

On the other end of the phone, Cheston Hen, who had looked at the surveillance for a day and consulted a lot of vehicle information, said in a tired tone: "Agent Dean, just now the substation received a missing alarm, the fiancée of an alien tourist disappeared at the airport, and the missing object happened to be that kind of young blonde woman!" ”

Hearing this, Dean's originally relaxed expression immediately turned serious: "I'll come over right away!" ”

On the road.

Dean received another call from Louise.

That's what the other party said.

Because she was off work, she found out about it later than Chestonne.

Half an hour later.

At the door of the precinct, Dean meets Cheston Horn, who is waiting for him, and Louise, who arrives first.

The three of them went together to meet the reporter of the missing eucalyptus.

On the way here, Louise had already looked for a colleague and learned the basic situation of the disappearance, so she took advantage of the gap between walking to tell the two about what happened:

"The person who reported it was a Commonwealth national, and the missing person was his fiancée.

As soon as the two got off the plane, the wife of the reporter temporarily went to the airport toilet, and the reporter waited outside.

Because the fiancée of the informant did not come out for more than 40 minutes, the informant felt that something was wrong, so he called the fiancée's phone, and the person who answered the phone was another lady in the toilet.

Only then did the reporter know that his fiancée had disappeared into the toilet out of thin air! ”

"Where is the lady who answered the phone now?"

Dean asked directly.

Regardless of whether the woman is suspicious or not, you can provide them with some useful information.

Louise obviously knew this, so she said: "After the police received the report, they brought the lady back for questioning, and she is now in the reception room with the reporter." ”

Between words.

The three of them had already arrived at the reception room of the police station.

Upon entering, Dean was stunned.

He hesitantly looked at the figure of the man sitting on a chair in the reception room, holding his head in pain.

This guy, although he didn't see his face, looked like a person he didn't want to see, whether it was his body type, hairstyle, clothing, or other aspects.

Dean spoke up with some uncertainty, "Joss? ”

The man with his head in his hands, hearing someone call his name, raised his head in a bit of confusion and sluggishness, looked around, and finally focused on Dean's body, and the eyes that were overwhelmed and anxious also showed the color of hope.

Joss jumped up from his chair and rushed to Dean, exclaiming, "Dean! ”

Dean rolled his eyes.

Well, it's really Ruoss!

Because I feel that this guy seems to have some restraint on himself.

So he didn't take the initiative to contact Ruosi after the last killer incident, but he didn't expect the goddess of fate, a bitch, to connect them again.

Looking at the overwhelmed Ruoss.

Dean patted him on the shoulder, "It's nice to see you again, but I definitely don't want to be in a place like this, Joss!" ”

When Joss saw Dean, it was as if he had seen the backbone of the Lord.

Under Dean's reassurance, he stabilized his anxious mood, organized his words, and recounted the situation in a separate inquiry room.

When he learned that Ruosi came to Las Vegas with his fiancée this time, mainly to find himself, surprise himself, and invite himself as their best man for their wedding by the way.

Let's be honest.

Inside, Dean always felt weird.

Best man~

This big dog really regards himself as a good friend.

Come to think of it.

Dean looked at Joss's eyes and softened them.

This moment.

Dean really hopes that the person who took Joss's fiancée is really the murderer who threw the corpse in a serial manner.

Because every time the murderer takes away the target, there will be a three-day safety period.

It is not until three days later that the victim is taken to the place where the body is dumped and killed.

Otherwise, if it is those gangsters who specialize in human trafficking, then even if Jos's fiancée can be found in the end, what happened to the other party is definitely not acceptable to Jos.

Naturally, Dean would not tell Joss who was full of guilt.

After reassuring the other party, he returned to the reception room and asked about the lady who answered the phone.

...

According to the lady.

She is a salesperson at the airport counter, and when she goes to the toilet, she actually just wants to be lazy and smoke a cigarette.

As a result, I was just about to leave.

The woman heard the mobile phone ringing under her, looked down, and found a mobile phone, lying in the middle of the pit next door and the pit she was in.

She thought it was someone squatting in the pit when the phone slipped and fell to the ground, and now she is calling to retrieve the phone.

This kind of thing is actually very common in airport toilets.

So she kindly picked up her phone and connected it.

What happened after that, that's what Joss said.

Conversations.

Dean noticed something.

This woman, with a slender figure and exquisite dress, has dense blonde hair scattered over her hair and shoulders, and her red lips are naturally raised, which forms a different contrast with the black silk of the slim professional suit and the femininity of the workplace.

Of course, she actually looks average.

But this physical trait is very similar to the previous five female victims.

And there is another important point in the information provided by the other party.

She probably spent more than ten minutes in the toilet.

Before that, the single room next to her was not found to be abnormal.

Other words.

Joss's fiancée, in fact, was probably missing twenty minutes before she entered the toilet.

Combined with the fact that Ruosi has been guarding the door of the toilet, and there is no other entrance and exit in the women's toilet passage, it shows that the gangsters were already waiting in the toilet before Ruosi's fiancée entered.

Ruosi's fiancée has just gotten off the plane, and she and Ruoss both belong to some identities, but they are inconspicuous, and they basically do not take the initiative to offend people, let alone use them to coerce the family.

It's unlikely that anyone will fight for her.

So, is there a possibility that the murderer's original target was actually this cabinet sister?

...

Come to think of it.

Dean immediately asked the cabinet sister about the time of day when she went to the toilet to smoke.

This kind of fishing at work generally occurs when there is not much passenger flow, otherwise colleagues will also have opinions, so this time is likely to be relatively fixed.

This is great for squatting in advance.

Although the cabinet sister was very puzzled, why Dean was curious about his fishing.

But when it comes to a missing man, he is still very honest: "Our main guests are foreign female tourists who travel to and from Las Vegas, so after each shift, I have the opportunity to go to the toilet for a little happiness." ”

"Every time?"

"Yes, this will allow me to maintain a good mental state and mood until the next shift, otherwise it will be difficult for me to be patient enough to serve the nouveau riche who speak different languages."

People who are addicted to cigarettes have a lack of nicotine for a long time and are prone to irritability.

So if you talk about the cabinet sister, the authenticity should be very high.

This also shows that as long as the murderer finds out about this, he can calculate the time when the plane landed, squat in the toilet in advance, and then take this cabinet sister away in some way.

Airport toilets, it doesn't seem like a good location.

Whether it's on the way to work, or somewhere else, the risk is less.

But don't forget.

The place where Joss's fiancée disappeared was in the exit hall of the airport.

Many passengers have already retrieved their suitcases, and no one will check those suitcases anymore, so they can just drag them to the parking lot and drive them away.

So Joss's fiancée is likely to have been taken away in front of Joss .

...

"It's a sad thing..."

Finishing his reasoning, Dean shook his head.

Poor Joss.

What is the difference between this kind of thing and the husband's ex-offender?

It's better not to tell him yourself.

That's when it happened.

The cabinet sister took the initiative to speak: "Mr. policeman, when can I leave?" ”

No one likes to spend a lot of time in the police station.

Dean took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the counter sister in front of him: "I'm sorry for delaying you a lot, but I'm afraid you can't leave yet." ”

"Why?" , Sister Cabinet's emotions couldn't help but become irritable: "I just did a good deed, but you treated me like this, do you think I am an accomplice of the kidnapper?" ”

"No, actually, you may be the target of the kidnapper, and that gentleman's fiancée saved your life!"

As he spoke, Dean told the cabinet sister about his inference.

Seeing her will be skeptical.

Dean put the photos of the previous five female victims on the table in front of her, and said: "If you think you are safe, you can leave now, otherwise, I hope you can maintain enough patience and cooperate with me, because the murderer's desire to kill will not stop, if you don't catch him, you can escape once, and you can't escape the next time!" ”

The cabinet sister was frightened by Dean's words.

Although I don't want to admit it.

But when I saw the five photos, the smiling woman.

She found that her appearance and characteristics were indeed very similar to them: a traditional American blonde girl, with a dignified temperament and a kind of debauchery.

The cabinet sister licked her upturned red lips, and looked at Dean pitifully: "Mr. Officer, you must protect me!" ”

The corners of Dean's mouth turned up: "Of course there is no problem, as long as you are obedient, you will definitely not have an accident!" ”

...

Inquiry ends.

Dean asked Chesson to stop working and take Joss to the hotel to rest, while he and Louise came to the conference room with the breakthrough of the cabinet sister.

The name of the cabinet sister is Eru Balbosa.

Ai Lu is a very ordinary American woman, who dropped out of middle school, wandered for a period of time, experienced promiscuity in abortion, and experienced an unreliable marriage and had a son.

In order to raise a son.

Ailu, who has become a mature woman, begins a formal life.

She tried to find a full-time job in Hukou, and finally relied on her good physical appearance and after professional training, she joined the counter sister at the airport makeup counter.

Dean wanted to find a breakthrough based on Elu's personal connections and whether any suspicious people had approached her recently.

But when Elu made a list of more than 30 people, with more than a dozen men whose names could not be said but who had all been described by Elu, Dean and Louise gave up.

Promiscuity, even if it is a mother, may not be reliable.

You really have to follow this list to investigate.

It is estimated that there has been no harvest here, and on the other side, the body of Joss's fiancée has already appeared on the side of the wilderness road.

In desperation.

Dean had no choice but to take Louise and drive to the airport exit hall, ready to investigate the scene on the spot, and check the surveillance over there by the way...

...

Now.

A brightly lit and brightly decorated room.

Joss's fiancée, Gaia, opened her eyes a little confused and weak.

Her mind was still a little unconscious, she only remembered that she was in the toilet at the time, and when she came out, she was surprised to find that there was no one outside, and then something covered her mouth from behind...

After that, Gaia didn't know.

All she could be sure of was that she seemed to have been attacked.

Shake your head a few times.

Be slightly sober.

Gaia wanted to get up and take in her surroundings.

But for some reason, she was still weak at the moment, and most of the muscles in her body seemed to be out of control, and they couldn't support her to stand up at all.

A panic couldn't help but spread in Gaia's heart.

"Calm down!"

"It was said in the training that when encountering this kind of thing, only by being calm can there be hope of being rescued!"

Gaia came from a small aristocratic family and received some education in this area.

She tried to calm herself down and began to observe her surroundings in accordance with what her family had specially taught.

this room.

At first glance, Gaia felt strange.

A long, heavy table with delicate candlesticks, fruit plates, tablecloths, wine glasses, cutlery, knives and forks, and a vase with beautiful flower arrangements.

Underfoot is a thick red carpet.

From these aspects alone.

It's a place where an aristocratic gentleman invites ladies to dinner and dates.

But Gaia is not your average woman.

She comes from an aristocratic family, and her eyesight is not bad.

Seemingly delicate tableware, fake!

Red carpet under your feet, fake!

Fruit on the fruit bowl, fake!

The old and historical heavy dining table is just as fake!

These are all cheap industrial products.

The most outrageous thing is the area that is not illuminated by the lights.

If she's not mistaken, what seems to be fake walls and stairs over there?

"Is this a place to make movies?"

Just as Gaia analyzed where he was.

Dada~

The sound of empty tapping came from all directions.

Meanwhile.

A deep voice emerged from overhead: "Beautiful lady, welcome to my home, I know you may be confused now, but for the sake of our mutual fond memories, please be sure to hear the next words clearly." ”

Gaia then noticed that there was a speaker and camera above his head.

I'm detained!

She clenched her trembling fists, trying to calm herself down, and said tremblingly, "You say! ”

It also seems that a receiver is installed here.

The man, who didn't know where to hide, paused for a few minutes when he heard Gaia's voice, and then suppressed his excitement and said: "What a wonderful voice, I have a hunch that you can fulfill my lifelong dream!" ”

His voice was very strange.

In other words, it's not weird, but it's fake, like a crappy actor who can imitate certain movie lines, but because of his own background, his speech becomes different.

But Gaia didn't dare to laugh at the other.

The first criterion for self-help.

Until rescue arrives, be sure to keep yourself safe and don't do anything that irritates the robbers!

Gaia knew the energy of Joss's house.

She believes that as long as she can delay time, she will be rescued in the end.

So, before that, you must ensure your own safety.

So Gaia tried to respond, "As long as you keep me safe, I'll do my best to accommodate your request, sir." ”

"That's how it feels!"

"That's how it feels!"

"Mom, I found it, come and see, Mom, I found the woman who can replace you, she will definitely be the most perfect heroine, and I will make the final interpretation and complete your dream!"

"Mom, did you say so?"

The man on the other end of the microphone fell into madness again.

The other party's abnormal mental state made Gaia's courage that he had finally mustered collapsed.

Her eyes could no longer contain tears.

She lay on the ground, looking feebly at the shabby, peeling ceiling above her head, sobbing silently.

It's scary out there!

I want to go home...

...

The other side.

Dean and Louise also arrive at the toilet where Gaia disappeared.

Las Vegas is actually not that big.

This place, almost half an hour's drive, can reach any hotel in the city.

So this tourist casino, in fact, only this Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, also caused the flight frequency here to be difficult, even if it is more than nine o'clock in the evening, you can still see a lot of people.

"Do we go to see the surveillance first, or do we go to the toilet to explore the environment?"

Louise had already greeted the airport, and there were two airport security guards around her to facilitate their work.

Dean didn't speak, just stood at the far end of the toilet passage, looking around.

There is really nothing nice about the toilet.

The only thing he cared about was one thing.

That is, Joss was just outside the toilet passage at that time.

Inside the toilet, in addition to Joss's fiancée, there are other women who go to the toilet.

If the murderer wants to quietly take Joss's fiancée Gaia, he must first make Gaia lose his ability to resist, then put her in a large box or other large-volume object, and finally leave in front of Joss outside without attracting attention and suspicion.

How did he do it?

Without figuring this out, there is no point in probing.

...

Louise didn't know what Dean was looking at, so she had to look around.

At this glance, I really found the difficulty.

Because many tourists come here for tourism, many of the women who enter and exit the toilet are pushing and pulling large boxes.

If you look at it purely from the surveillance, it is difficult to tell from those sloppied boxes whether they contain clothes or people!

And not far from the toilet is the side entrance of the parking lot.

For some people traveling in groups, you can take the bus to the hotel directly from there and leave the airport.

Some people who have relatives and friends come to pick them up, and they will also leave from that side.

There are also some who are simply Las Vegas locals, but they just go on a temporary business trip, and their cars are parked in the parking lot, and when they get to the parking lot, they can drive home.

This will make it more difficult for them to investigate.

That's when it happened.

Dean pointed to a cleaner who was parked in the women's restroom in a small cleaning van and asked the security guard next to him, "Is the toilet cleaning usually a fixed time?" ”

One of the security guards shook his head: "This mainly depends on the shift, the people in each shift are about the same, and the cleaner will go in to clean it once, otherwise the environment inside will not be maintained very well." ”

Between words.

The female cleaner, who had already put on a mask, took out a sign from the cart, put it at the door of the toilet, and walked in through the passage that blocked the view from the outside.

Moment.

Several women with cosmetics in their hands walked out a little unhappily.

Louise wondered, "Is your side closed and clean?" ”

The security guard shook his head: "Of course not, but there are often tourists in the women's toilet who like to put on makeup inside, and normal people will choose to leave when they see someone coming to clean the ground, as long as they don't go to the pit." ”

Dean withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

Janitor... Cleaning the car...

There is no such scene in Joss's narration.

A small cleaning cart that allows you to see all structures with the naked eye.

So the murderer probably didn't disguise himself as a cleaner, disperse the people inside, and then stuff Gaia into a cleaning cart and take him away.

To be exact.

The murderer is not Gaia who was taken away with the cleaning car!

But the reason why he was able to make sure that no witnesses found out about Gaia's disappearance was because he disguised himself as a cleaner!

Isn't that so.

Just ask!

Dean immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Joss's number.

Joss should be in the hotel.

After a while.

He answered the phone and said excitedly, "Dean, is there any news from Gaia?" ”

"Still investigating, Joss, think about it, while waiting for Gaia, did you see someone wearing a cleaner's clothes, pushing something away?"

"Cleaner clothes?"

"It's the kind of person who wears a gray work attire, who may wear a dust mask or even a hat, and it's hard to tell the difference between men and women."

On the other end of the phone, there was no sound.

Hotel, when Joss heard Dean's description, the man pushing the cart out of the toilet immediately came to mind.

At that time, the wheels of the other party's cart seemed to be stuck.

I'm also here to help.

Don't?

"Ruoss?"

Dean's confused voice was heard on the phone.

Ruosi's lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't know how to speak.

Could it be that he told Dean that he personally helped the murderer and sent away his fiancée?

At the airport, seeing that Joss was on the other end of the phone, silent, Dean knew that Joss had already reacted.

He sighed and comforted, "Joss, don't worry, we've found the suspect, and Gaia will be back with you soon." ”

“.. Thank you. ”

Joss said weakly, like a child who has made a mistake.

At this moment, Dean was in his heart, and the image was sublimated again.

...

Hang up.

Dean turned to Louise and said, "Let's go, let's go check the surveillance, I know who the target is!" ”

...

Monitoring room.

Depending on the time period, the security guard helped to retrieve the camera footage from the area outside the toilet.

The airport only has surveillance in public areas, and it is not possible to install surveillance in the toilets.

But that's enough.

According to the approximate time of Gaia's disappearance.

Dean quickly found what he was looking for.

It was a man in gray overalls, wearing a mask and a hat, who appeared from the corner of the toilet to hide the view of the outside world and walked out.

There were two large boxes on the cart, which were held with that kind of rope.

In the middle, Ruosi, who was naïve, stepped forward to help push...

Because of the toilet passage, there is covering.

So from the perspective of surveillance, it is impossible to see whether this man came out of the men's toilet or the women's toilet.

But the existence of the other party undoubtedly verified Dean's conjecture.

This guy is the murderer!

Dean immediately said, "Pull the clock forward, I want to see him go in!" ”

The security guard on duty in the monitoring room did as he was told.

It is displayed according to the monitoring time.

The man in the gray suit, probably the surveillance screen outside the toilet before they got off the plane.

It wasn't until more than an hour later that he came out with his own cart.

And before he came out.

There were about four or five women, coming out at the same time.

This picture is very similar to a cleaner going in.

But in reality, there were no cleaners at that time.

"Louise, what did you find from the surveillance?"

Dean finished watching the surveillance and turned his head to look at Louise beside him.

Louise thought for a moment and said confidently: "The suspect is very clear about the process and cleaning habits of airport cleaners, and the clothes are also very similar, and the cart, if I remember correctly, is very similar to a common trailer at the airport." ”

The security guard on the side nodded in agreement with Louise's words: "Yes, some passengers have a heavy salute and will apply for consignment, and that cart and box are the exclusive tools of the employees of the logistics department." ”

Airport Logistics Department!

Hearing the word, Dean and Louise looked at each other!

If I'm not mistaken, they've seen a lot of refrigerated trucks heading to the warehouse at the airport!

They seem to have found their way to investigate!
