Chapter 655 Anyone named Jack is awesome
With a target to smell, Labrador jumped forward excitedly. His partner, the police officer, inadvertently failed to hold the dog leash. The guy ran away in one direction.
“Sorry, Jack is like this. Sometimes he gets too excited, but he is a great partner.” K9’s partner is a pretty white female police officer. She faced the handsome young man in front of her. The FBI was a little shy, showed an apologetic smile, and explained sheepishly.
“I believe you, so, is it also called Jack?” Jack’s expression was a little strange, which was such a coincidence.
Before the female police officer could answer, the dog Jack stopped by a creek not far away and barked non-stop. As expected, all the dogs named Jack were awesome.
"A body was found." While the two of them were talking just now, Sheriff Sean, who was walking at the front, had already arrived at the stream. Then he shouted, "Oh God, it's Mike McCabe." School bus driver! "
The creek is not deep, just over half a meter high. Perhaps because it is approaching winter, the water is almost dry, with only a little trickle still flowing.
A corpse fell on its back in the stream. It was a white man. He looked to be in his 40s and slightly bald. There was a blood hole near his temple. Blood flowed from the other side, dyeing the clear stream water. Light red.
"Chief, find a way to call in more people, whether it's the local militia or the community patrol team, call on all the people you can." Jack looked at the corpse and said in a serious tone.
“We need to arrange a dragnet search to find more evidence or victims nearby.”
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and first called Jubal in the operations center to ask him to send the FBI's ERT team. Then he called Mike Taylor and asked him to send his forensic personnel here as soon as possible.
With such a large scope, the FBI's ERT team will definitely not be able to handle it due to its limited manpower. However, fortunately, they have cooperated with the CSI laboratory many times, and the cooperation between the two parties has always been very tacit.
Thankfully, after nearly two hours of extensive investigation, no suspicious traces were found, at least no new bodies appeared.
After handing over the work at hand, Jack went to say hello to a leader of the ERT team. The smashed mobile phones and tablets found earlier had been sent to the hospital after preliminary evidence collection. After entering the laboratory, they need to extract the data inside and send it back to the combat center as soon as possible.
Child kidnapping cases are different from adult kidnapping cases. Children's emotions fluctuate greatly, and the kidnapper can easily lose patience, leading to a catastrophic outcome.
Moreover, the kidnappers now have in their hands not one, but 26 young children who may cry non-stop due to cold, hunger, nervousness, or even physiological needs at any time.
This is no longer a question of how many golden hours. Jack has been thinking about various possibilities in his mind, what is the purpose of kidnapping these children, extorting ransom or for some political demands.
It is best not to be a cult priest. Jack felt his scalp numb when he thought of this possibility. That would be the worst possibility, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Taking a county police car to Taft Elementary School, Jack saw his female boss and Hannah in the school's indoor gymnasium who were about to leave after appeasing their parents.
This is probably the only indoor environment in this elementary school that can accommodate so many people at the same time. On the wooden floor in the middle of the arena, there are temporarily moved desks and Chair.
FBI agents are currently working in pairs to take notes on the parents of the abducted children, but as Chief Sean said before, this is a small place, and news about a small place spreads very quickly.
As soon as Jack arrived, a parent shouted loudly on his mobile phone, "The county police said that the school bus driver was dead and they found a body in the woods. Oh my God, my God!" "Child!"
The parents' emotions suddenly became excited, and they surrounded the FBI agents, including Dana Moge and Hannah. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Jack took a step forward. He rushed to a gong hanging in the air next to the court, picked up the mallet on the ground and banged it hard. "Bang!" The huge sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the arena. Jack took the opportunity to jump on a desk and shouted, "Hey, everyone, listen to me! I just came back from the scene, we did The body of an adult male was found at the scene. "
He deliberately added an accent to the word "adult", but it still attracted soft shouts from these parents, and saw that the scene changed again. There was some confusion, and Jack raised his voice again.
"Please listen to me, what I say next is very important. After careful search, we found no other traces of murder at the scene. Therefore, the police temporarily regard this matter as a kidnapping case."
"You guys How will we find our children?" a male parent asked loudly.
"Of course we are doing our best. We have mobilized hundreds of police officers. They are searching along both sides of the road at the moment, looking for any possible clues. What you should do now is go home as soon as possible!"
< br>Before Jack finished speaking, another parent questioned, "Go home? What are you talking about? How can we go home now."
"Listen to me, listen to me." Jack Pressing down his hands, he explained patiently, "It won't do anything if you gather here. Please confirm whether you have all left your mobile phone numbers and email addresses. Once the police have news, they will notify you as soon as possible.
< br>
But whether it’s a kidnapper or a kid, they’re probably calling home, right? So you need someone at home to answer your phone, check your email, watch for any clues and contact the police promptly, okay? "
Another piece of information provided by Sheriff Sean is also correct. At least the quality of these parents is indeed high enough to understand what Jack is saying. The excitement at the scene began to be released in another way.
Parents have found the FBI agent closest to them one after another. They just want to complete the transcript as soon as possible, register the information and go home. Some parents are both present at the same time, and one person can’t wait to go home first. .
“Well done. "Although Dana Moger was still worried, she still forced a smile.
Jack, regardless of modesty, followed her and Hannah towards the Saboban they were driving towards, and couldn't wait to ask, "Did parents report anything unusual just now? ”
Hannah still held the record book in her hand and nodded, "There is a clue that has been sent back to the operations center for confirmation. The wife of one of the couples I asked mentioned that she accidentally noticed that there was a green van. The car followed the school bus for two days in a row.
She was not sure, but I asked the parents of other children and it was true that someone had seen the car. ”
Jack took the initiative to get into the driver's seat and became energetic after hearing this. Although the rural road where the school bus disappeared was not monitored, if it entered a residential area or urban area, it would definitely be photographed.
Moreover, the school bus driving route is fixed and the time is also fixed. This is very time-saving and labor-saving for search and monitoring, and the results should be available soon.
On the way back, Jack turned on his police lights and sirens and sped along, and soon returned to the federal building. Almost at the same time that the three of them stepped into the office, Jubal also had something to gain.
A video is playing on the big screen, from the pile of smashed mobile phones and tablets that Jack found. The incident was filmed by more than one child, and this video is the clearest one that has been recovered so far.
The child in the photo was sitting relatively far back. From his angle, he could clearly see the moment the school bus was stopped. Two adult men wearing black hoods and holding AR assault rifles were standing outside the bus. , the gun was pointed at the driver, forcing him to open the door.
Amid the panicked screams of the children, two armed gangsters boarded the bus. One of them controlled the driver, and the other took away the mobile phones from the children one by one along the aisle. The final video footage It was frozen in the moment when he reached out to the child who was filming this scene.
