Chapter 268: Lots of Doubts
Also staying up all night with the old friends from the Wilshire Bureau were Hannah and Jiejie. They needed to draft and review the manuscripts sent to various news media, and Try to get eye-catching space or exposure on TV news.
Hannah may not be as professional as Jiejie, but she has support from the outside. Zoe, who has just become a city councilor, uses a little resources to get the local media to take notice.
But at the same time, this also made the two girls exhausted. When Jack walked into Jiejie's office with two thermos boxes, he saw two sleeping people lying on the table. beauty.
Seeing that there was no one around, a certain scumbag put the stewed red dates and white fungus soup on the table. After taking a sip of the incense, he gently closed the door and rushed to meet Rosie Reed.
The Vaughn family lives in a top community in the middle of the city. Keith Vaughn, who was notified in advance, was waiting at the porch early.
After obtaining his consent, Jack and Red went directly into the house and searched Lindsay's room.
During this period, Keith Vaughn remained silent, leaning against the door, coldly watching the two people busy. Next to him stood the man named Pat Mannan. So called friends.
Rosie looked around the entire room and the few picture frames on the table, turned around and asked, "What happened to Lindsay's mother?"
"Does it matter?" asked Pat Mannan.
Rossi didn't look at him, his eyes still stayed on Keith Vaughn, "It's related to Lindsay."
"This is called "Criminal Psychology."" Reid began his daily answer .
"This can help us understand Lindsay's character."
Kissen Vaughan finally broke the silence, frowned, and spoke one word concisely, "How can I help?"
“Help us understand how she sees herself and how she socializes with others. The things in each of our rooms reveal our own inner personalities.”
Keith Vaughn obviously didn't take this very seriously and said indifferently, "She is no different from any 15-year-old child."
Rosie lightly denied his words, "No, she It’s different.”
“What do you mean?” Keith Vaughn raised his eyebrows.
As someone who has spent more than a whole day visiting Zoe's house in detail, and who has lived with Hannah for half a year, Jay naturally pointed out the anomalies in the room. .
“This doesn’t look like a girl’s room at all, let alone a 15-year-old adolescent girl.”
"There are no celebrity posters on the wall, no photo walls, no travel photos, no magazines, no diaries, and not even a doll on the bed."
Jack said and shrugged, "Do you need me to say any more? ?I could assume she's withdrawn and afraid of people, but that doesn't make sense."
"No, she has friends," Kitson Vaughn retorted.
“Is there any more?” Rossi’s words left him speechless.
At this time, Reid's cell phone suddenly rang, and he walked out of the room while answering the video call. The video seemed to be from Garcia.
Garcia seemed to have sent him some documents, and the two chatted quietly for a few words. Reid closed his phone and asked.
"Mr. Vaughan, can I use your computer?"
"In the study room, please." Keith Vaughn replied nonchalantly.
Immediately afterwards, Jack's cell phone also sounded a text message alert. When he opened it, he saw that it was from Red.
The above is Garcia's background check on the Vaughn family forwarded by Rhett. It looks very clean, so clean that it is suspicious.
Jack took two steps calmly, turned his back to the two people at the door, and winked at Rosie.
"OK, there's nothing worth paying attention to here." Rossi glanced around the room nonchalantly, walked out of the room unhurriedly, and stood in the center of the living room. "Sorry, give me a moment." Within a few minutes, Rhett also came out of the study and stood next to Rosie.
Jack finally left the room, stood among the four, and turned to face Keith Vaughan and Pat Mannan.
The two looked at each other with somewhat inexplicable expressions, and finally Keith Vaughn asked.
"Are there any other questions? What else have you analyzed?"
Rosie, standing behind Jack, decided to show off her cards and said directly: "This place doesn't look like home at all."
< br>“Top security system, but the furniture seems to be rented, the walls are all covered with cheap decorative paintings, and there is no real work of art.”
“There is not even a family photo on the bookshelf. A 15-year-old adolescent girl doesn't even have her own PAD or laptop."
Reed then said, "The computer in the study room is set to clear the history every day and uses a proxy server. Garcia Even the network traces cannot be traced.”
"Also, how do you explain this?"
As he said that, Red turned the phone screen to the two of them and started playing the video.
This is the video diary that Garcia found on the computer of Katie Owen, the girl who was killed. The girl seemed to use it as a tree hole and talked a lot about Lindsay.
And she said that she disliked Lindsay's father, Keith Vaughn in front of everyone. In her words, this father controlled his daughter Lindsay very tightly and was very perverted.
Katie even thinks that Keith Vaughn’s possessiveness towards Lindsay is more like treating a wife than a daughter.
"What does this mean? The nonsense of an adolescent girl? Since you are all psychologists, you should know this kind of thing better than me, right?"
Keithon Vaughan looked calm, not because of The accusations in the video are somewhat moving.
"Keep watching." Rhett fast forwarded a short distance.
Katie also talked about many stories she learned from Lindsay, such as the fact that the father and daughter moved to Los Angeles six years ago and had been living in Maine before that.
Keithon Vaughn and his three brothers owned a fishing boat together. Lindsay's mother was a housewife. However, tragedy struck and the fish catch became less and less. The family was forced to sell. Fishing boat, mother died in a car accident.
"Does it sound familiar?" Rhett raised a finger proudly.
"I happened to have read this novel, "Dream of the Emerald Sea". The protagonist in it is called Lindsay. This is her life experience."
"What on earth do you want to say? ? Shouldn’t you focus on finding Lindsay? This is just a joke between two little girls.”
Pat Mannan took the initiative to speak. Explain it to him.
Rosie's face became very gloomy and ugly.
"Remember the recording yesterday? Katie showed what an ordinary teenager would do when faced with death. She begged for life. Lindsay was just the opposite."
"On the contrary of what?" Keith Wohl En'de became a little anxious and asked impatiently.
Reed cautiously poked his head out from behind Jack, "Lindsay's emotional reaction and what she said to Katie, these are strong hints."
"She either has to be trained. or have been abused by someone else”
