Chapter 655: Anyone named Jack is great

With the target that he could smell, Labrador jumped forward excitedly. When his partner, the police officer, inadvertently failed to hold the dog leash, the guy flew 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 was a little shy when facing the handsome young FBI in front of her. He showed an apologetic smile and explained sheepishly.

"I believe you, so, is it also called Jack?" Jack's expression was a little weird, what 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, only a little over half a meter high. Perhaps because it is approaching winter, the water in the creek has almost dried up, with only a little trickle still flowing.

A corpse fell on its back in the stream. It was a white man, who looked to be in his 40s and slightly bald. There was a blood hole near his temple. Blood flowed out from the other side, dyeing the clear stream 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 speaking, 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 take care of 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 laboratory after preliminary evidence collection, and they were needed. Extract the data inside and send it back to the combat center as soon as possible.

Child abduction 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 matter of how many golden hours. Jack has been thinking over and over in his mind various possibilities, what is the purpose of kidnapping these children, extorting ransom or for some political demands.

It's best not to be a cult priest. Thinking of this possibility, Jack felt his scalp numb. That would be the worst possibility, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Taking a county police car and arriving at 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. There are temporary desks and chairs placed on the wooden floor in the middle of the arena.

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 the school bus driver died and they found a body in the woods. Oh my God, my 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 rushed to the hanging side of the court. Next to the gong, he picked up the mallet on the ground and knocked 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 the parents. Seeing that the scene became a little chaotic again, 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 are temporarily treating this matter as a kidnapping case."

"How will you 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!"

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 pressed his hands down and explained patiently, "You guys gathering here won't do anything. Make sure you have all left your mobile phone numbers and email addresses. Once the police have News will be notified to you as soon as possible.

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 bit of information provided by Sheriff Sean was also correct. At least the quality of these parents was indeed high enough to understand what Jack was saying. The excitement at the scene began to be released in another way.

Parents found the FBI agent closest to them one after another. They just wanted to complete the transcript as soon as possible, register the information and go home. Some parents were present at the same time, and one of them couldn't wait to go home first.

"Nice job." Although Dana Moger was still worried, she still forced a smile.

Jack didn't care about being modest and followed her and Hannah towards the Sabo class they were driving from. He couldn't wait to ask, "Did the parents report anything abnormal 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 consecutive days.

She wasn't sure, but I asked the parents of other children, and they had indeed 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 stood outside the bus, pointing their guns at the driver. , forcing him to open the car 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 frame was of him walking towards the bus. The moment the child who filmed this scene reaches out his hand.
