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 three weeks ago. The police have filed a case, but her whereabouts have not been found."

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

Hannah shook her head: "The victim didn't know where he was being held. After escaping, he kept running because of emotional stress until he was exhausted."

"Until you run her over with your car?" Detective Mota said reluctantly, looking like a bitch.

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 detective in his heart. Perhaps apart from the plot characters he knew, Detective Motta in front of him represented the real side of the police in the beautiful country.

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

"We will step up our efforts to 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 sensible. If you need anything else from us, please feel free to ask us."

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

"That's settled," Superintendent Gray said.

"I will arrange for three police patrol cars to work in shifts throughout the night, including you two, 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."

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 directly issue the search warrant. send to us."

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

"I have a question, why doesn't the crime squad pay so much attention to this case of missing minors?"

Hannah replied as she devoured her 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 any progress. Among them, the case of missing minors is particularly serious."

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. In a case like Carla's, as long as the bald guy Detectives insisted there was insufficient evidence and there was no way it could be released.”

"Okay, pretend I didn't ask." Jack sighed in his heart about the dire straits of the people in the beautiful country, and he and Hannah grabbed the soup dumplings in the food box.

"But I don't understand. Kara was running barefoot on the street risking her life, and passers-by turned a blind eye?"

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

"This is Luo City."

Jack was still a little confused, but after thinking about it, he didn't continue to ask. Maybe the kidnapping case was really just a daily occurrence in this country, or in this world.

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

"Hannah, Jack, we found the identity and address of the suspect, Angus Lucius, male, 47 years old, former Marine, living at 2699 Pickford Street, John and Angela led the search Ling Zheng is leaving from the police station."

Hannah struggled to swallow the food in her mouth and picked up the walkie-talkie: "It should be about three blocks away from where we met the victim. We are the closest and will arrive in 5 minutes."

Jack quickly threw the food box into the trunk, got into the driver's seat and started the police car, sounding the siren and speeding towards the destination.

Three 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. Hannah looked at the map and inspected the surrounding houses.

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

Jack looked in the direction directed 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. He had an unpleasant feeling in his heart that 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 from 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 description, the suspect held multiple weapons, and everyone brought rifles. Jack held an Ithaca-12 shotgun loaded with a special [breaching bullet].

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

Jack shot the door lock directly, and Hannah kicked open the door behind him. Everyone filed in and cleaned up the rooms one by one.

"unmanned!"

Jack's premonition came true. Angus Lucius ran away without packing his things after discovering that Carla had escaped. Tim found the entrance to the basement, but there was nothing inside except a stench.

"Hey guys, come down 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.

"The underwear comes in several sizes and there are more victims!"

Lucy exclaimed, and the faces of everyone present became extremely ugly, especially the two female police officers Angela and Hannah.

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 doesn't have much time. Once the suspect thinks he is safe, he is likely to kill someone and silence him."

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 new books are becoming more and more easy to sustain, and many old authors even open new books. The reason why I immediately cut off the books when I found out my grades were not good.

Anyway, this is what I roughly understand.

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 much, 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 prerequisite 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 that I have written so many words in this chapter for the first time. It is really not easy for a newbie to write a new book. Please bear with me and bow to everyone.
