Chapter 889

Dustin took two pieces of barbecue slowly, weighed them for a while, then wiped his mouth and hands with a tissue, turned around and said, "with Brad and I've been friends for many years, I'm sure this is not what he meant, but it must be the request of someone he can't refuse."

Luke and I made eye contact and understood each other clearly.

Brad but NYPD Luke said he understood. They left the house.

On the way home, Luke's cell phone rang. After connecting, Christina just said, "Molly's parents have just arrived and are talking to her."

Luke: we'll be right here

Turn around with the car and go to the metropolitan hospital.

Twenty minutes later, Luke and his wife arrived outside the ward and knocked on the door.

A moment later the door was opened to a slightly chubby middle-aged man.

Seeing Luke and Selena, he looked at them doubtfully: "what's the matter with you?"

Luke and Selena took out their badges and motioned, "can you talk to the side?"

The middle-aged man looked at the ward, or came out, took the door and followed Luke to the side: "two detectives, is it for Molly's sake?"

Luke nodded: "Mr. Richard Johnson, my name is Luke. This is my partner Selena. We called this morning."

Richard, a middle-aged man, smelled the words and immediately put out his hands with a face excited: "thank you, thank you for saving Molly."

Luke didn't interrupt. Although he would like to ask Molly about her at home, he also understood the excitement of finding her missing daughter.

A moment later, he said, "Mr. Johnson, let's get down to business."

Richard: just call me Richard, detective Luke

Luke nodded: "well, Molly's missing is a little suspicious, so I want to ask her about her situation."

Richard looked excited: "she was very lively since she was a child, and loved sports, kind-hearted. In addition to being the main force of the school diving team, she is also a member of the student union. When she has a little rest time, she will go to various community volunteer services. She's a little angel, and I don't think anyone will hurt her. "

Luke nodded: "Richard, sometimes bad guys always catch us off guard. We can't stop what has happened, but I prefer to find this person and let him not hurt more innocent girls, right? "

Richard gasped like a red eyed bull: "this beep bastard, if I knew who he was, I would smash his head with a gun."

Luke paused for a moment and said, "Richard, you need to focus. Think about whether Molly met some strange person or something before she disappeared. "

Richard looked at his calm expression, finally suppressed his anger and tried to remember.

But after talking for more than 20 minutes, Richard didn't have much clue.

Of course, this conversation is not idle. It at least gives Luke and Molly an intuitive understanding of their past.

To a certain extent, many possibilities are eliminated.

For example, the "he" is an acquaintance, or it is very unlikely that Molly will be dealt with through an acquaintance.

With Richard's love for her daughter, Molly's heterosexual friends will hear a little bit of wind.

But before Molly came to New York for the game, there was nothing unusual.

Richard has repeatedly confirmed this with her classmates and teammates.

The problem with Molly's life during this period is that she took out a large amount of money from the ATM.

The card belongs to Molly herself. She has her own scholarship, prize money for participating in the competition and so on. The amount is about 12000 US dollars.

Richard runs a seafood business in Massachusetts, including the Maine lobster.

That's also the case. Molly, a junior high school student, has such a large amount of money on her own.

Molly herself is clean. Although her family conditions are good, she doesn't have the habit of profligacy.

The first time Richard called the police at NYPD was because Molly, who disappeared suddenly, took out this large amount of money. He suspected that his daughter had been kidnapped and coerced her to take it.

As a result, the bank's monitoring showed that Molly went to get the money by herself during the day, and there were no people around to intimidate her.
