Chapter 181 Shakira(1/2)
Kidnappings generally have a golden 72 hours.
The kidnappers usually keep the meat alive until they achieve their goals.
Starvation and cold may be relatively minor, but beatings and abuse are difficult to completely avoid.
The longer the kidnappers are kidnapped, the less patient they will be and the more aggressive they will become.
The kidnapped person will also experience tremendous psychological pressure and is more likely to lose his rationality and anger the gangster.
Once the kidnapper loses his patience, he may break up the deal.
Minors have poorer endurance than adults and are prone to crying and fussing when they are unfamiliar or scared.
The possibility of angering the kidnappers is also greater, and it is not easy to survive for three days.
I will definitely have to work overtime tonight.
The threatening email was handed over to the Technology Department for investigation.
Luke started looking at surveillance video from the Kalaya neighborhood.
Judging from the blood stains found at the scene, the incident may have occurred between nine and twelve o'clock in the evening. Luke also focused on investigating vehicles during this time period.
It is impossible for two big living people to disappear into thin air, and the kidnappers also need transportation to take them away.
Checking and monitoring is a boring job.
Luke used to dislike checking the surveillance, but since he started practicing his observation skills, this situation has changed.
Time flies when people are doing things they like.
Luke took advantage of this mentality and consciously regarded this as an opportunity to exercise his observation skills when checking the surveillance.
It feels a bit like everyone looking for trouble.
Although it seems a bit self-deceptive, it still has a certain effect.
Human psychology is very powerful. Under his own psychological suggestion, Luke found that he was no longer so repelled by checking surveillance.
With a "pop!" sound, Luke hit the space bar.
The screen freezes, and a white Toyota sedan appears on the screen, with license plate number 7qeb332, and the time is 11:35 pm.
Luke partially enlarged the video and could see the driver's appearance from the surveillance camera.
A middle-aged Asian woman——Amy Ma.
There was no one in the passenger seat of the car, and the situation in the back row could not be seen.
But judging from this situation, Amy Ma drove away during the incident period, so she is suspected.
Luke called Matthew over and pointed at the computer screen, "Amy Ma left in her white Toyota during the incident. Can you continue to track her?"
"Of course, but it may take some time."
"It's worth it, this clue is very important."
"As you wish, Deputy Luke." After Matthew finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, "I just found another piece of information about this car.
The current registered address of this white Toyota is Kalaya Community, but I checked the previous information and found that the previous registered address had changed.
The original registered address was No. 102, Boya Community, Binny Street.
Hope this clue is useful to you."
Luke nodded, "I'll check it out."
…
At around six o'clock in the evening, Luke and Xiao Hei left the police detective station.
After getting in the car, Xiao Hei started the car and asked, "Where are we going?"
Luke replied, "Let's go eat first, and then check the original registered address of the car. Maybe we can find some clues about Amy Ma."
"What a good idea. I just had a burger for lunch, and I'm just looking forward to this meal in the evening." Xiao Hei swallowed, "What do you want to eat?"
"Burrito." Actually, Luke didn't have much choice. Now that the situation was so urgent and everyone was working overtime, it was good that the two of them could go out to eat, so naturally they had to choose something quick and convenient.
Xiao Hei said while driving, "To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable when I learned that Betty might have been kidnapped. I am used to seeing life and death, but I still feel very uncomfortable when I see something happen to a child."
Luke lit a cigarette and said, "You're right, that's why we work overtime."
"Too many things have happened recently. I haven't seen Jaden for a while. I want to go and see him during my break." Xiao Hei sighed, thinking of Julian, and then of Jaden.
A reliable mother.
He was really worried about that child.
Luke took a drag on his cigarette and said, "Go ahead, if you need help with money, I can help.
Don’t bother me with anything else.”
Xiaohei "..."
Xiao Hei just wanted to say thank you for Jaden, but he swallowed back the last half of the sentence.
Luke's reaction was...how should I put it? Very Luke.
Do your best, but don't worry about trouble.
However, Luke could speak so frankly that he obviously did not regard him as an outsider.
Xiao Hei responded, "I know."
Luke asked curiously, "Have you ever been in contact with Julian?"
"No, I'm still young and there is a big forest. I will forget her." Xiao Hei pretended to be relaxed and said, waving the fingers of his right hand, "Man, let me take a sip too."
"No, you're a pervert." Luke frowned. He didn't have the habit of smoking a cigarette with others.
"I'm not a pervert, I just want to take a cigarette while driving."
"Stop thinking about it and drive hard."
The two had a simple meal at a Mexican restaurant and spent only ten minutes in total driving to the registered address of Amy Ma's car.
…
No. 102, Boya Community, Binny Street.
This is most likely the residence of Amy Ma, considering that she may be both a victim and a suspect.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Luke did not park the car in front of his home, but parked a little further away.
The two walked to residence No. 102.
This is a bungalow, not too big, and the lawn in the yard hasn't been mowed for a long time.
Luke walked to the window and looked in, but found no sign of anyone.
Then, Luke walked to the door and knocked, "Dongdong."
Still no movement.
Luke pointed to the lock, "Can you open it?"
Xiao Hei took a look and said, "It should be fine."
Xiao Hei took off the key chain, fiddled with it a bit, and the door opened with a "click" sound.
Xiao Hei looked proud, "Do you know?
My mother said that I have been very smart since I was a child, and there is nothing I can’t learn as long as I want to.”
Luke nodded, "I often heard white lies from my parents when I was a kid, so don't take it too seriously."
Xiaohei, "..."
Luke took out his pistol and the two entered the house one after another.
"Ka..." Luke turned on the wall lamp.
The living room was a bit messy, with a lot of clutter placed there. Luke touched the coffee table and found that there was already a thick layer of dust.
The house was small in size, with two bedrooms and one living room. The two quickly searched it and found no suspicious person.
There are photos of Amy Ma in the house. It seems that the two have found the right place. This should be her residence.
Afterwards, the two searched the room carefully.
Xiao Hei opened the closet and took out an accessory from inside, "What is this? It looks a bit like a hat. Is it made of silver?"
Luke took it and looked at it, "The silverware of the Miao people uses a variety of techniques such as pressing, cutting, engraving, and lamination. It often requires ten or twenty processes to complete."
Xiao Hei exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, I like it.
I will also give one to... my future girlfriend in the future."
"as long as you are happy."
"Dongdong..." Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Luke and Xiao Hei were both stunned.
To be continued...
