Connie's job today is to make a return visit to the foster family, all the way stop-and-go.

By noon, she had already visited more than a dozen households.

It looks like this is a very dedicated staff member of the Department of Children and Family Services.

Erin follows Ethan's request and drives to the side of the house after Connie leaves.

He pretended to observe the house, but kept monitoring the number of people inside with radar.

Most of them were nothing out of the ordinary, with only three or four spots of light in the room.

If there are more than five, Ethan will mark them down in the notebook with a pen.

Erin didn't know what he was writing and drawing, so she could only suppress her curiosity and continue to follow Connie's silver BMW.

The vehicle drove for more than ten minutes and then stopped.

This time Connie went in for a long time, unlike just now, when she came out in about a minute.

Ethan shook the pen in his hand and whispered:

"Pull over and drive along."

Erin nodded, and under her control, the car slowly drove past the shoulder of the road, stopping in front.

She keenly observed that Ethan's pen, which had been shaking, suddenly stopped.

Erin held her sunglasses to her head: "What did you find?" ”

"Something isn't right here." Ethan looked in the rearview mirror, and his voice turned cold: "It's very wrong. ”

Just now on the radar, more than a dozen points of light flashed.

The arrows are all pointing downwards.

Obviously, there are a dozen people in the basement here, and if there is no problem, who would cram that many people into the ground.

Looking at Erin's puzzled eyes, Ethan's mind raced:

"If you look at the lawn outside, the foster homes that I just passed by, more or less, there will be something for the children to play with."

"There's nothing here, there's nothing."

"It's too far-fetched, maybe the child they adopted is more introverted."

Erin pursed her lips and whispered, "But it's also a suspicion, and it's worth documenting." ”

At this moment, a van slowly drove in the distance.

A few dozen meters behind the van, followed by a familiar action vehicle.

Seeing this, Erin quickly unbuckled her seat belt, turned around and lay in front of Ethan, and the two faced each other, and the distance was only two or three centimeters.

"What do you want to do?"

Ethan looked at Erin, who was close at a short time, and the faint smell of perfume rushed towards him.

He swallowed nervously: "I'm not a casual person. ”

"You bastard, it's Badman who drives the van." Erin looked at Ethan's eyes, also a little flustered.

She put her arms around Ethan's neck, pretending to linger:

"The two of you met last night and couldn't be recognized, and now it looks like there's something really wrong with this place."

"Uh-huh."

Ethan looked at her delicate face and let out two nasal sounds.

In order to pretend to be a little, he stretched out his arm to wrap Erin's thin waist around, and the place where he touched it was soft.

The moment she was hugged, Erin's body stiffened.

Soon, I relaxed again.

She noticed that Ethan's attention was not on her, and her eyes were squinting, staring into the side mirror.

In the rearview mirror, Badman screwed up the steps as he twisted a thick stack of pizza boxes.

The food here is enough for a dozen people.

Badman knocked on the door and quickly walked inside.

"You let go."

Erin was a little out of breath as she hugged her, and cried out softly.

Ethan looked back, and the two looked at each other, and their breathing became rapid.

"I'm sorry."

He hurriedly let go of his hand, and Erin hurriedly tidied up her clothes and sat back down.

In the action vehicle slowly driving on the opposite side, Olinsky and Rusec were clearly seated, Erin hurriedly made a gesture, and then started the vehicle.

The two cars staggered past, their eyes parted.

Moments later, they reunited on another street.

Lowering the window, Erin nodded to Olinsky, "We're lucky, it seems that this is it." ”

"It's hard to think it's not."

Olinsky bit on the twisted candy and said: "The car repair shop they run has only four or five employees, and just now I saw the little brother who delivered the pizza with far more food in his hands than the others did. ”

"So we came out."

More than a dozen people are eating and drinking Lazar, and the silencer should be using the garage as a cover to order food for them.

"Did you write down the house number?"

Olinsky didn't stop much just now, didn't see clearly.

"I've sent it to Jean." Ethan put his phone in his pocket: "What now?" ”

"I'll watch here first."

Olinsky raised the window: "You go back to a different car and discuss the next move with Hank." ”

Erin nodded, stepped on the gas pedal and quickly returned to the police station.

Back in the Chase room, Hank had been waiting for a long time, and he and Horstead followed Snyder with nothing.

"Are you sure that's the place?"

Seeing them running up the stairs, Hank hurried out of the office, where Olinsky was already on the phone with him.

Ethan nodded: "Eighty percent sure." ”

"That's enough."

Hank looked at Jean, "What information does the owner have?" ”

Except for the two people who continued to watch outside, everyone else gathered in the chase room, and Jean looked at his phone: "Ordinary families, couples without children, good economic conditions." ”

"It has a high rating at the Department of Children and Family Services, and currently registered, there are two children in foster care."

"All kinds of formalities are handled by Connie alone."

"Now all the clues point to the place where the child is hidden." Hank furrowed his eyebrows and said, "We can't use these kids as bait." ”

"You apply for an emergency search warrant right away."

"Okay, it's ongoing." Jean nodded, his fingers darling across the screen.

"Antonio."

Hank turned his head, "Good news for us about the silencer." ”

"Of course."

Antonio held a thick wad of paper in his hand: "Here are the call logs of Connie's private number for the past six months." ”

"I've checked all the information in it."

"There's a number that appears very frequently and at a very fixed time."

"As a very important part of this process, Connie must have a connection with the silencer, and Jean also found out the owner's information just now."

Antonio rolled up the paper in his hand and pointed to the side.

Jean took over: "I found out that the owner is Snyder's cousin, and the address has been checked. ”

Hank thought about it and gave the order decisively:

"Inform the patrol officers and let them take control of all the people on Miranda's side."

Miranda has already sent Ethan the location of their people through social media, and these women who have been held hostage also need to be rescued.

"Let's go."

Hank put his jacket on: "Get these kids out." ”

"Jean." Hank patted him on the shoulder:

"Send the address to Pratt and ask her to send an unmarked patrol car."

"I want all the target locations involved, people watching, car repair shops, Schneider's cousin's house."

"But without my notice, don't move,

"Understood."

Jean quickly jotted down, "I'll send it to your phone when the emergency search warrant comes down."

By the time he heard his voice, Ethan and his party had already pushed open the iron mesh door.
