Chapter 563 New York’s Subway and Natural History Museum

"Calm down," Jack said loudly, following Danny, who was running towards the parking lot. "We still have time. Just a necklace is not enough to convict. We need more information."

"You drive, I will contact the Tampa police directly on the road, hoping to contact the family of the missing girl. We need more details about that necklace. As long as it is confirmed that it is the same necklace, at least my sister can prevent the judge from releasing it. Donald Bence.”

Danny stood directly in front of Jack's Dodge Hellcat. Their detective cars were all shared, and the day shift and night shift detectives used them in turn. As long as this guy was partnered with Jack, he would definitely not drive his own car. broken car.

An hour later, Jack and Danny appeared at the door of the two-story building in Long Island County again.

"Although I said that my husband is a bastard, it does not mean that he is a devil. Your statement is really difficult for me to accept."

Moodley Bence, who was standing at the door, was holding the cross necklace on her chest just like last time, and subconsciously groping for the pearls inlaid on it with her fingertips.

This seems to be a subconscious action when the other person is nervous, just like some people will subconsciously rub the corners of their clothes when they are nervous.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Bence, because time is limited and the FBI is still investigating other related disappearance cases. We don't know yet how many little girls your husband has abducted, but it is obvious that Teresa and the little girl in Florida are not the only ones." Victim of two.”

What Danny said was not nonsense. They had been busy all night and had gained nothing. There were many sporadic clues showing that Donald Burns was the murderer, but they lacked key evidence like this cross necklace.

In addition, Garcia discovered two more suspected files, both of which were cases of missing little girls from Catholic families. They were both located in Florida. This case has alarmed the BAU.

Just when they got off the bus, Jack received a call from Hotchner, asking if he needed support from his friends. The Gulfstream could take off at any time.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Jack focused on the evidence in front of him. As long as he could confirm something, the FBI would not need to intervene in the following matters.

"Ms. Bence, Detective Regan just got off the phone with the parents of the missing girl. They said the girl's name was Kathy and it was carved on the back of the cross."

Moodley Bence looked directly into the eyes of the two people, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously squeezed the cross in her hand, "He said there are words on it because this necklace is an antique he bought."

After saying that, she froze on the spot, her whole body visibly sluggish. Seeing this scene, Jack could confirm that she was innocent and had no knowledge of what her husband had done.

"Ms. Bens, we need to take the necklace as evidence." Danny waited for a while, and when he saw that her fingers turned white while holding the necklace hard, he urged impatiently.

Moodley Bence woke up from a dream and hurriedly took off the necklace and handed it to Danny like a hot potato. She couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes, "Please help me tell her parents. I do not know me."

Although she was speechless, the two policemen standing opposite him understood what she meant.

Danny placed the cross necklace in the palm of his hand and turned it over. The five letters "Kathy" engraved on the back were clearly visible in the sunlight.

——

"Yes, that's right, I'm Erin Regan of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, and I would like to initiate special proceedings on your side to extradite Donald Burns back to Florida and charge him with murder.

Yes, yes, we found the cross necklace that Kathy MacDonald was wearing when she disappeared five years ago and that Donald Bence gave to his wife.

Also, just minutes earlier, Tampa police had found the girl's body in an Orlando warehouse that Donald Burns had rented under the alias 'Monsignor Nicholas,' just like he did in New York .

OK, thank you very much. "

Erin Regan hung up the phone and looked at her eldest brother with a smile.

"Done?" Danny raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Erin breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to give her eldest brother a high-five.

"I told you, I will definitely solve this case." Danny raised his head proudly to his sister, his nostrils almost pointing to the sky.

"Thank you for taking care of my idiot brother." Erin ignored the snarky guy and stood up to shake Jack's hand.

"Danny is a good partner." Jack said this sincerely. Although this guy was a little rough sometimes, he had a strong sense of justice and was not rigid about procedures. He was a partner he could trust with his back.

It's a pity that he is a rough guy. When Jack thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he almost forgot about his real partner.

Cassel had given him an invitation before, inviting him to attend tonight's cocktail party. As usual, attending such an event would naturally require a female companion. It just so happened that Hannah was returning to New York today, so he sent her the time and place. .

As a result, after returning from Long Island, he was so busy that he forgot about this matter due to a series of latest developments here, and now it seemed that the time was almost up.

Seeing that the brother and sister were still bickering inside, Jack said hello and hurriedly left the assistant prosecutor's office. Danny's triumphant voice came from behind, "I remember Florida has the death penalty, right?"

——

This is the first time Jack has taken the subway since he came to New York. The New York subway is indeed well-deserved. There are garbage all over the floor and big rats running around without fear of people. Office workers in suits and modern girls dressed in fashionable clothes are walking in a hurry. The subway station, which has a strong sense of history, looks out of place in comparison.

After taking a few steps to complete the entire staircase and walking out of the subway station, Jack took a deep breath and felt much better. The smell of urine inside was really unbearable. I don't know if New Yorkers have nose problems or if they are just accustomed to it. .

He took out his phone and looked at the time. He felt relieved that there was still time.

The reception was held not far from the New York Museum of Natural History. When Jack walked under the steps with ancient Roman-style marble columns, he subconsciously looked up and made a mental note to make a mental note to visit it when he had time.

Although this museum is not as famous as the Metropolitan Museum, it is more familiar to Jack because his favorite movie series "Night at the Museum" was filmed here.

He was curious whether the statue of Theodore Roosevelt in military uniform and riding a horse at the entrance looked like Robin Williams. If the two were really similar, that would be really interesting.
