Police Detective Bureau.

Everyone returned to the police detective station one after another.

Summarize information in the office area.

Susan hung up the phone, "I contacted Betty's teacher at school, and Betty did not go to school today.

Amy Ma's mobile phone sent a message to the teacher asking for leave, so the school did not contact Betty's father.

Judging from the current situation, this case may not be a simple robbery, but a home invasion robbery or kidnapping."

The deputy team member thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, if it is a kidnapping, the suspect will make a blackmail call as soon as possible after the kidnapping is successful.

On the one hand, the family members are asked to raise money as soon as possible; on the other hand, they are worried about the family members calling the police.

Nearly twelve hours have passed since the incident, but Mr. Kenneth does not know about it, and has not received a blackmail call.

This is a bit out of line with the normal kidnapping pattern."

"Don't forget, Betty doesn't just have one father." Susan said, looking at Jenny aside, "Have you contacted Betty's mother?"

"Yes. We are already heading here, we should be there soon." Jenny nodded and added, "From the tone of her words, it seems that she doesn't know about her daughter's kidnapping and is very anxious."

Luke asked, "Have you found out more about Amy Ma?"

Matthew said, "Her mobile phone number is currently out of contact. The last message was to Teacher Betty, and the last call was to Mark.

At present, not many valuable clues have been found. She immigrated from China. There is very little official information, and no direct relatives can be found.

I only found a white Toyota sedan in my name, license plate number, 7qeb332.”

After summarizing the clues, Luke began to recall the entire incident.

Although we inspected the scene and questioned the person who reported the incident, the entire situation of the incident was not clear.

The suspect's motive is also unclear.

If it was a robbery, why did Amy Ma and Betty also disappear?

If it was a kidnapping, the scene would be too messy, and the family members would not receive any blackmail calls.

Could it be that the suspect's real target is not Betty, but Amy Ma?

Amy Ma herself has certain problems.

She disguised herself as Mrs. Kenneth to hook up with the young white guy Mark. She was not a pure-minded person at all.

Although he took notes for Mark, Luke felt that he was not very suspicious.

But Mark wasn't necessarily the only one deceived.

There are other doubts about Amy Ma.

For example, the expensive clothes and cosmetics found in her room.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. If it weren't for these expensive clothes, Mark wouldn't have been deceived so easily.

Luke checked out a piece of clothing of the same style online, which was worth more than fifteen hundred dollars, which an ordinary nanny could not afford.

"Dongdong..."

The door to the office rang, interrupting Luke's train of thought.

Rhett opened the door and walked in.

Behind him was a middle-aged Asian woman with a capable manner and wearing a professional skirt. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Betty's.

Rhett got straight to the point, "Captain Susan, have you found out the whereabouts of Betty?"

"not yet."

Reid pointed to the Asian woman beside him, "This is Betty's mother, Ms. Li, the deputy mayor of Los Angeles."

Jenny opened her mouth wide and whispered, "No wonder I feel a little familiar."

Xiao Hei also widened his eyes, obviously not expecting that the victim had such a connection.

"My name is Mei Li, and I am Betty's mother. How is she doing now? I would like to know about Eucalyptus's progress."

Susan nodded, "Please come to the conference room with me.

Luke, you come in too."

Then, Luke, Susan, Rhett, and Li Mei entered the conference room.

As soon as she entered the conference room, Li Mei couldn't wait to ask, "Is Betty missing? What's going on?"

Luke briefly described the situation of the case.

Li Mei shook her head and sighed, "My dear, how could such a terrible thing happen?"

Luke said, "Ms. Li, I can understand how you feel, but the situation now is more urgent, and we need to make a record for you."

Li Mei took a deep breath to calm down her emotions, "OK, you can ask."

Luke got straight to the point, "Have you ever received a ransom call?"

"No. I didn't know until you called me that something happened to Betty. It was so terrible. I felt so guilty. I was not a qualified mother."

"When did you and your husband divorce?"

"It's been more than a year. Does this have anything to do with the incident?"

"We need to know as much as possible about the situation so that we can find a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Li Mei nodded, "You can continue to ask."

"Why did you and your husband divorce?"

"Emotional discord."

"Is there a third party?"

"No, both of us are very ambitious and put too much energy into our careers. Neither of us is willing to give in, which is why we finally reached this point.

But our relationship is still okay, and it can be considered a relatively peaceful divorce."

"Do you only have a daughter, Betty?"

"Yes.

"As far as I know, children of divorced couples usually stay with their mother. Did you voluntarily give up custody rights?"

"Yes, I am too busy at work, busier than my husband. So...

I regret it, I really regret it. If Betty had followed me, this might not have happened.

If... I would fight for custody again."

Luke wrote down in his notebook that he wanted to fight for custody, which showed that he had a motive.

"Where were you between nine and twelve last night?"

"I was interviewed by a news column from nine to ten o'clock, and then I went to a friend's party. It was already past twelve o'clock when I got home."

"What kind of party? Can anyone prove it?"

"Frank was there at the time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him.

I won't lie on this issue. You don't need to doubt me. I hope to find my daughter sooner than anyone else.

Don't put your energy on me, and quickly investigate other clues."

Luke was not satisfied with this answer. What did Frank mean?

Can I still call Frank to check?

Who is looking for excitement when they are idle?

"Are you close to Betty?"

Li Mei sighed, "I love her, but I rarely have time to spend with her, so..."

"That is to say, you don't often communicate with each other, and you don't know her recent situation?"

"Yes, I am not a qualified mother. I feel very guilty, very guilty."

"Do you know Amy Ma?"

"Before Kenneth and I divorced, she was already Betty's nanny. She was a nice person, quite responsible, and could cook.

Betty is of Asian descent, but she rarely has contact with Asians, so I also hope to let Betty know more about Asian culture in this way.

Where is Amy Ma?

Does Betty’s disappearance have anything to do with her?”

"It's not clear yet, we are investigating." Luke responded and changed the subject, "What is the financial situation of you and your ex-husband, Mr. Kenneth?"

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

"Not bad. My ex-husband is not only a university teacher, but also an external consultant for a biological experiment company. His salary is higher than mine."

"How much is Amy Ma's monthly salary?"
