Chapter 201 The Coveted Twins (4)
“Have you checked the list of housekeepers and litigants that Evan has dealt with recently?”
Rosie said, taking it from Red’s hand He took the laptop and checked the call history and the series of question marks on the notes.
"The local FBI office has sent a detailed report, but given the kidnapper's knowledge of the Davenport family, we should investigate again."
Reed took another computer and started to get busy.
"Tell me what you think." Rosie gestured for JJ to follow Cheryl, who ran into her room because she didn't want to cry in front of everyone, and asked Jack for his opinion.
Jack quickly organized his thoughts in his brain and spoke slowly.
"Tracy seemed a little confused on the phone, probably drugged. She said she saw the moon. I suspected it was a light, probably a simple one in the basement or garage. Naked light bulb. "
"What worries me is that Trish can see things, which means she is not blindfolded, and the criminal is next to her. If she sees the other person's face, then once he gets it, The money will probably be "
Seeing Evan Davenport walk out of his daughter's room, he immediately shut up. This was not the time to irritate the victim's family.
Rossi also quickly changed the topic, analyzed the call record just now, and combined it with the notes made by Rhett.
"When the kidnapper made his request, it was as if it was written in advance, lacking proper emotion and pauses."
A word 'stick reading' flashed in Jack's mind, But I couldn't find the right words to describe it.
“But when talking to Cheryl, his tone made me feel very uncomfortable.”
At this point, he almost got stuck again. How to describe greasy in English? No one can understand OIL.
Fortunately, other people had similar feelings, and Rhett nodded in agreement, "This is why I think the kidnapper and the Davenport sisters knew each other."
At this time, Cheryl, who had released her emotions, was in JJ Accompanied by her, she walked out of the room and forced a smile to everyone.
“I’m ready.”
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the phone rang again.
“Everything was done by Cheryl alone. Cheryl packed the money and Cheryl sent the money. If she had a tracker on her body or used a stand-in, Trish would be dead. .”
"Cheryl is not allowed to drive her own car, and no one is allowed to accompany her, no one is allowed to follow her, and no aerial surveillance is allowed. All similar surveillance is intolerable."
"When Cheryl is driving, I He will give orders through the mobile phone, and the money must be delivered on time at 3 o'clock in the morning, otherwise, Tracy will die!"
As the other party hung up the phone, everyone present fell into silence. For a long time, Rosie Speaking to Evan Davenport.
"How long will it take you to collect 1 million?"
Evan Davenport's eyes were dull, and it took him a while to react.
"I have already asked the accountant to prepare it before, and I can put it together in the evening."
Don't look at the title of administrative assistant of the Federal Prosecutor's Office with the word assistant, non-appointed people like Evan Davenport Administrative assistant is a member of the formal official system of the United States.
His position is protected by the civil service system and will not be removed when the elected prosecutor loses the election, thus ensuring the stability of the prosecutorial office and the continuity of work.
In other words, the entire prosecutorial agency in the United States is supported by more than 3,000 administrative bureaucrats like him.
The assistants appointed by prosecutors who are elected for a term of only two or three years are all politicians who fool the voters and basically do nothing practical. So 1 million in cash is a bit of a stretch for the Davenport family, but they can still get it together if they think of a way.
This is also the reason why a seemingly ordinary kidnapping case can cause a BAU action team that is still being formed and not even fully staffed to be dispatched urgently.
"Jack and JJ, get ready, we can't let Cheryl go alone." Rosie ordered.
"But the other party said that if he saw other people." Evan Davenport was a little worried.
Seeing that he was losing his mind with anxiety, Rosie reminded, "Cheryl is also your daughter."
Jack also comforted, "Don't worry, we will use an ordinary car to follow, the kind with dark glass, so it won't be discovered."
Evan sighed dejectedly, still Nervous, "Please be careful. If you are discovered, Tracy will die. If my daughter dies, I will."
Cheryl stepped forward and hugged her father, comforting her softly, "It's okay. Daddy, I believe them, and besides, we have no choice.”
Leaving Davenport and his daughter in the house, Rossi glanced at everyone in the BAU, and the three of them followed him out of the house. Come to the backyard.
"This is not right, everything is very wrong. I strongly suspect that the kidnappers are not here for money." Rossi said with certainty.
"Tell me, Jack, if you were a kidnapper, what would you ask for?"
Jack desperately recalled the relevant plots in various criminal investigation and crime dramas, combined with the knowledge he learned at the FBI Academy.
"The police are not allowed, the cash must be old banknotes with no serial numbers, and no tracking devices or dyeing devices are allowed in the wallet."
Reed suddenly realized, "But the kidnappers are He didn't even mention it. In the second call to arrange the ransom, he kept emphasizing Cheryl's name. What he really wanted was Cheryl."
"Then we can't let Cheryl come. Go, she will be in danger." JJ said anxiously.
"No, now he takes the initiative and holds the biggest bargaining chip. The transaction continues as usual. We cannot ignore Trish's safety." Rossi said and looked at Jack seriously.
"If there is only one kidnapper, are you sure to guarantee the absolute safety of Cheryl?"
Jack's tone was relaxed and confident, "If he wants to kidnap Cheryl as well, Give me an AR-15, and I can kill four or five of them within three seconds, let alone one person."
"No," Rossi raised his hand and made a negative gesture.
"We must keep alive. Before we find Trish's whereabouts, we can't take this risk. You just need to ensure Cheryl's safety."
Jack shrugged, "No problem, I can scare him away, but then what? We still don't have Trish's whereabouts."
Rosie smiled mysteriously, "When he finishes, it will be his turn. It’s our turn.”
——
At 2 o’clock in the morning, Cheryl got into a yellow Beetle with a large bag of cash and drove towards the location designated by the kidnappers.
Jack was driving a black Mercedes-Benz, and JJ was sitting in the passenger seat. They kept a distance of more than 100 meters from Cheryl's car.
Nowadays, cars all come with built-in GPS positioning, and Cheryl's cell phone is also kept in monitoring mode. With Rhett reporting the situation on the communicator at any time, they only need to stay far behind.
Changing the plot is exhausting, and we should try our best to avoid logically faulty areas.
The first case in BUA did not change much. If there is a more perfect plot in the future, I will not make major changes. The logic of many cases in the original drama itself is perfect and very exciting. , of course, if it is too tragic or regretful, I will still let Jack come to the rescue in time.
