Special Investigation Unit, Office Area.

Pushing open the door of the office area, Luo An shook the folder in his hand:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the group leader, Portant-Byrne, has sent us a new gift."

"Wow."

Mona expressed her surprise with a blank face, Michelle didn't speak, and Lacey put down the coffee cup in her hand, looked up and asked:

"What is the type of gift?"

"The kind that parents in the world fear the most."

Luo Ann handed the folder to Mona:

"A few hours ago, a 6-year-old girl disappeared from her home."

Lacey's brows tightened when she heard this:

"It doesn't look like a human trafficker."

Traffickers rarely go to other people's homes to steal children.

"Probably kidnapping for ransom."

Roan patted Michelle on the arm and motioned for her and Mona to stay in the office to check the surveillance near the location of the child's disappearance, as well as information about the missing child's parents.

"Lacey, you and I go to the scene to have a look."

"No problem!"

East of Los Angeles, a villa area.

A white bald sheriff walked into the villa with Roan and Lacey, and said as he went:

"The intruder broke into this villa three hours ago, at about 2:20 p.m."

"Lovely villa...... But it's a terrible story. ”

Luo An glanced at the layout and decoration of the villa and asked:

"Where did the intruders get in?"

"Back door."

The bald sheriff led the two to the back door of the villa, where the glass of the back door was shattered near the doorknob.

It is not difficult to see that the intruder entered the villa by breaking the glass and reaching inside to unscrew the back door.

“OK。”

Luo An stepped forward to take a closer look at the broken glass, and Lacey thought for a moment and asked:

"Does this villa have an alarm system?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, it didn't work."

The bald sheriff led Lacey to the second floor of the villa, and at the staircase on the second floor, Lacey saw the body of a chubby white woman.

Samira Lee, 45 years old, is the family's full-time nanny and has been working for the family for 8 years.

Perhaps due to negligence or other reasons, the villa's alarm system was not turned on. ”

Lacey bent down to look at the corpse of a woman with a bullet hole in her forehead on the floor, and her face was not very good-looking:

"So, the intruder entered through the back door of the villa, went upstairs with a gun and killed the babysitter, and then took the child away?"

“Yeah。”

The bald sheriff nodded, led Lacey into the little girl's room, pointed to a toy clock in the corner, and said:

"This is a monitor, the child's mother was shopping outside at the time of the crime, and the child's mother wanted to see her daughter during the break, but found that her daughter was not in the room, and no one answered the call to the nanny.

The child's mother immediately called the neighbor for help because she was worried, and the neighbor called the police. ”

"One will leave a psychological shadow on people."

Seeing the pink bedroom full of childlike innocence and warmth, Lacey frowned and pointed to the monitor:

"Is there a video of this thing?"

The bald sheriff spread his hands and said helplessly:

"No, it's just real-time monitoring, no footage."

"That's really bad news."

On the other side, downstairs in the villa, Luo An waved his hand and called an agent from the trace examination department:

"See if there's any blood or anything else on the glass. In addition, the doorknob is also checked to see if there are any intruder fingerprints. ”

The detective of the trace examination department nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, no problem."

"Good work."

Leaving the back door and walking towards the villa living room, a female LAPD sat on the couch and was whispering comfort to a middle-aged, low-sobbing white woman with long burgundy hair.

This woman is none other than the mother of the missing little girl, Madalline Allen.

Seeing Roan arrive, the female LAPD smiled at him and left the villa living room.

Seeing Luo An's FBI identity, Mai Dalin immediately leaned forward and grabbed Luo An's arm, and said with excitement on her face:

"How? Have you found my daughter? Found a clue? oh，god……”

"I'm sorry about your daughter, but trust me, Ms. Allen, we'll do everything we can to help find your daughter."

Whispering reassuring Madallen-Allen to sit back on the couch, seeing Lacey arrive and pull out the small notebook, Roan began to ask:

"Ms. Allen, we don't see men's daily necessities in the villa, is there only your mother and daughter living in this villa? What about the father of the child? ”

"I divorced him and broke up peacefully."

Wheat Allen wiped tears from her eyes as she explained:

"He works in other states of the federation and has his new girlfriend.

I've already called him and he's on his way back from a plane. ”

Luo An's expression remained unchanged and continued to ask:

"Have you ever had a fight recently over a child? Is it possible that he ......"

"No, absolutely impossible."

Madalline Allen shook her head repeatedly:

"We've always had a good relationship, we divorced just because of work, and we're still good friends.

And John, he's a good guy, he's good to Kara, he's good to Samira, he's never going to do that. ”

John is the ex-husband's name and Carla is the lost daughter name of Madalline Allen.

Lacey next to her was silent for a few seconds and asked:

"Have you had any recent conflicts with anyone? Can you think of anyone who would do something to steal your daughter? ”

"I have been working in a securities company, and there are only a few small conflicts between me and my colleagues, and I will never rise to the family level."

As she spoke, Madalline Allen became excited again:

"Oh God, I really didn't expect this to happen to me......"

Seeing this, Lacey quickly pulled out a piece of toilet paper and comforted the other party in a low voice.

After Madalline Allen's mood gradually stabilized, Roan said:

"In order to find you Carla as soon as possible, we need a copy of her DNA, so we need to take some of her toothbrush, comb hair, etc.

By the way, we also need to monitor your phone, as well as your landline at home, if the other party calls you and extorts money......"

"No problem, no problem, it's okay."

Madalline Allen nodded repeatedly:

"As long as you can get my daughter back, you can do anything."

“OK。”

Lacey continues to calm Madalline-Allen's emotions as Roan and the Traces Section agents greet them twice and ask them to set up surveillance equipment.

When everyone started to get busy, Luo An walked to the corner, took out his mobile phone and called Mona:

"How's it going, Mona, how are you doing with the surveillance in the neighborhood?"

"Unfortunately, there are no clues."

Michelle in the office area shook his head and said:

"No suspicious vehicles were found on the surveillance."

"Michelle, you go ahead and look up the list of sexual assault offenders in the neighborhood."

Luo An's face remained unchanged:

"What about Kara's parents? Are there any anomalies in their messages? ”

Carla's mother, Madallen Allen, was a manager at a securities firm in Los Angeles.

Carla's father, John Rodriguez, was a partner in a chemical company in Ohio.

Both are in good financial condition, and there is nothing wrong with the call logs. ”

"A very rich couple."

Luo An glanced at the time, saw that four hours had passed since Kara's disappearance, thought about it, and said:

"Let's monitor the phone and phone of Madalline Allen's house first, if the robbers are for money, we must be the first to get the news."

"No problem."
