Chapter 29 The so-called Amber Alert

“Emma Christina, 19 years old, female college student, disappeared a month ago. Her dormitory roommate reported the case 3 weeks ago. The police have filed a case and have not been found. Whereabouts."

"Did the victim disclose the name of the hijacker?"

Hannah shook her head: "The victim didn't know where he was being held. He was nervous after escaping. Keep running until you run out of energy."

"Until you run her over with your car?" Detective Motta said with a look of shamelessness.

Jack quickly put his arm around Hannah to prevent her from acting impulsively.

"It was an accident. No one along the way was willing to lend a helping hand to this poor child. When she saw the police car, her first reaction was to rush up and ask for help. She fell in front of the car entirely because she was exhausted."

Jack's tone increased when he spoke, and he felt a little more disdain for the police detective. Perhaps apart from the plot characters he knew, Detective Mota in front of him represented the real side of the police in the beautiful country.

Female police detective Peggy may have liked the young and handsome Jack, so she also stopped her partner from being rude again.

"We will step up our search for the hijacker's residence. Did you ask for any clues just now?"

Hannah glanced at Superintendent Gray beside her, whispered a few words to him in a low voice, and then nodded to Jack.

Jack handed over his notepad: "These are some details provided by the victim. This child is very calm and rational enough. Please let us know what else you need from us."

" Go to the neighborhood to investigate and wait for us to confirm the specific address."

"It's settled," Superintendent Gray said.

"I will arrange for three police patrol cars to work in shifts throughout the night, including Hannah and Jack."

"Copy that, let's go, Jack." Hannah turned and left without saying a word. It was obvious that her patience with the fat bald man in front of her had reached its limit.

——

Dividing line——

“Let’s eat something first. It’s already afternoon, and you need to replenish your strength.”

This It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Jack handed the heated food box in his hand to Hannah in the car. Inside was the soup dumpling he had made last night.

Hannah put down the walkie-talkie in her hand, carefully bit the skin, and took a sip of the delicious soup. She found that it was not very hot, so she finished one in two mouthfuls and let out a satisfied sigh.

“I have asked Tim to help find the suspect’s address through his connections in the detective bureau. Superintendent Gray has also reported the situation. Once we have the specific address, we don’t need to wait for the crime team. The court will send the search warrant directly to us. "

Jack also picked up a soup bag and swallowed it in one gulp. He was already starving. After his physical fitness exceeded 20, his exercise intensity skyrocketed, and his food intake increased accordingly. Also increased significantly.

“I have a question, why doesn’t the Crime Squad pay so much attention to this case of missing minors?”

Hannah replied while wolfing down the food.

"Do you know how many missing people there are in this country every year? Nearly 100,000 people! As of last year, there were a total of more than 800,000 people who had been missing for investigation without making any progress. Among them, the case of missing minors is particularly serious."< br>
Seeing Jack's mouth open in disbelief, she continued.

“In densely populated areas like Los Angeles, there are cases of missing children almost every day, but how many times have you heard the [Amber Alert]? The conditions for issuing the [Amber Alert] are quite strict, Kara. This kind of case, as long as the bald police detective insists that there is insufficient evidence, it is impossible to release it."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask." Jack sighed in his heart about the dire straits of the beautiful people, and started grabbing food with Hannah. Soup dumplings in a box.

“But I don’t understand. Kara was running barefoot on the street risking her life, but passers-by turned a blind eye?”

Hannah shrugged and pointed at a few passers-by in strange clothes on the street.

“This is Los Angeles.”

Jack was still a little confused, but after thinking about it, he didn’t continue to ask. Maybe kidnapping cases are really just in this country, or maybe they are daily life in this world. .

At this time Tim's voice came from the intercom.

"Hannah, Jack, we have found the identity and address of the suspect, Angus Lucius, male, 47 years old, former Marine, living at 2699 Pickford Street, John and Angela were leaving the police station with a search warrant.”

Hannah struggled to swallow the food in her mouth and picked up the walkie-talkie: "It's about three blocks away from where we met the victim. It should be here. We are the closest and will arrive in 5 minutes." Jack quickly threw the food box in Put the car in the trunk, get in the driver's seat, start the police car, sound the siren and drive quickly to the destination.

3 minutes later, Jack turned off the siren, reduced the speed of the car, turned the corner at normal patrol speed, and drove slowly through Pickford Street, while Hannah looked at the map While inspecting the surrounding houses.

“The gray bungalow with the red brick roof is right here.”

Jack looked in the direction indicated by Hannah and found that the doors and windows of the house were closed and the parking lot in front of the door was empty. There was nothing, and a bad feeling arose in my heart. They might be late.

After waiting for less than 10 minutes, Tim and Lucy's police car arrived first, followed closely by Angela and John's police car who went to get the search warrant, still commanded by the veteran Tim.

"Angela and John are outflanking the back door, Lucy and I are covering from the side, Hannah and Jack are breaking through from the front door, you two be careful."

Everyone nodded, because according to the victim's The suspects were described as holding multiple weapons, and all of them were carrying rifles. Jack was holding an Ithaca-12 shotgun loaded with a special [breaching bullet].

The others all held M16s, worried that the suspect would take hostages. As Hannah shouted: "LAPD, open the door!"

Jack shot directly and broke the door lock. Hannah kicked open the door, and everyone filed in, cleaning up each room.

"No one!"

Jack's premonition came true, Angus Lucius discovered that Kara had escaped After packing up his things and running away, Tim found the entrance to the basement, but there was nothing inside except a stench.

“Hey guys, come over here and see what I found.”

John's voice came from the bedroom. Jack walked into the room and saw an open collection box, which contained various women's accessories and underwear.

Tim turned on the ultraviolet light mode of the flashlight. Under the ultraviolet light, the spots of body fluid residue on his underwear were clearly visible.

“There are several sizes of these underwear, and there are more victims!”

Lucy exclaimed, and the faces of everyone present became extremely ugly, especially Angie Two female police officers, La and Hanna.

Tim glanced at everyone and nodded to Jack.

"Jack and I went to the backyard to take a look, while the others continued to search for clues. We need to find the whereabouts of the suspect as soon as possible. The girl named Emma does not have much time. Once the suspect thinks he is safe, he is likely to kill someone and silence him."
< br> Regarding the list, the current Q-point new book rankings only look at follow-up reading data, which means the number of readers who read the last chapter every day. This is why it is becoming easier and easier for new books to survive, even for many old authors. The reason why when you open a new book and find out that your grades are not good, you immediately cut the book.

Anyway, I roughly understand this is the situation.

In addition, let me explain the updates during the new book period. As a novice author, my writing speed has only increased from 2K a day to 4K a day.

Although I work full-time now, the actual number of words I write every day is only so many, and about one-third of them will be deleted by me during the coding process.

I will try my best to improve my coding speed as soon as possible, and increase my coding speed before the manuscript is exhausted. Before putting it on the shelf, I will temporarily maintain the current upload speed of 2 chapters a day, with a total of 4K, which will also help maintain the new book. The time on the list allows more friends to see the book, which is the guarantee of subscription income after it is put on the shelves.

The premise for achieving all this is seriousness. I must first maintain a serious writing attitude to ensure the quality of the text and everyone's reading experience, and the second is the update speed.

I also ask everyone to point out poisonous points and bugs in the reading process in time. I will try my best to modify and improve them. Many friends who have posted book reviews can find that I am replying to most of the book reviews seriously.

I'm sorry to have written so many words in this chapter for the first time. It's really not easy for a newcomer to write a new book. Please bear with me and bow to everyone.
