Chapter 69 Bad eyesight (please read more! Ask for a monthly pass!)
"FBI?"
Seeing the golden badge displayed in front of his eyes, Qiao Nuo was taken aback for a moment, but behind him he looked happy, nodded repeatedly and said:
"That's right, my wife disappeared, just last night, me."
Qiao Nuo suddenly felt something was wrong while talking, why the person who came was not the New Jersey State Police, but the FBI?
Could it be that.
Thinking of this, Qiao Nuo's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked:
"Mr. Detective, what happened to my wife? Where is she now?"
"Please calm down, Mr. Qiao Nuo."
Roan turned his head and gave Lacey a look, she nodded, walked up the stairs and managed to let Qiao Nuo's daughter open the door with a few words, and easily entered her daughter's room.
Ryder walked out of the room and began to look around the apartment, trying to find some useful clues.
"Our goal is to find your wife, which is the same for both of us."
Roan signaled Qiao Nuo to sit down first, and then said with a serious face:
"So please calm down and answer my question seriously, okay? The more detailed you describe, the more likely it is that I will find your wife!"
"OK, OK."
Hearing what Roan said, Qiao Nuo poured a glass of water and drank it up. After taking a deep breath, he said with a gloomy face:
"Susan and I got married two and a half months ago"
The story behind it is not complicated. Qiao Nuo is in his forties this year and had a marriage. Later, his wife died in a car accident, and he raised his daughter Hina alone.
In recent years, daughter Hina grew up and went to a boarding high school. By chance, Qiao Nuo met his wife Susan who just turned 30.
Qiao Nuo and Susan fell in love at first sight, and after interacting with each other for a period of time, the wedding was held in the nearby Little St. Phil Church two and a half months ago.
During this period of marriage, daughter Hina has been throwing tantrums whenever she comes home from high school, even the night before.
The father and daughter had a big quarrel and went back to their respective houses. Qiao Nuo suddenly discovered that the door of the house was unlocked yesterday morning. When he looked carefully, his daughter was gone.
So he quickly contacted the New Jersey Police Department and reported the disappearance. At the same time, Qiao Nuo and Susan were also driving, looking for Hina everywhere.
Hearing this, Roan lowered his head to record in his notebook, then raised his head and asked:
"Susan also went to look for your daughter? You two searched separately?"
"Exactly."
Qiao Nuo nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"About half past nine last night, I found my daughter in a small hotel.
Then I called Susan, she said she was near the 'Louis Supermarket' and would be back in half an hour, but she didn't come home until eleven o'clock in the evening. No one heard. "
Roan wrote and drew in his notebook, and continued to ask: "Does Susan drive?"
"have."
Qiao Nuo pointed to an old red car outside, with an ugly expression on his face:
"Susan was driving this car before she married me.
After she lost contact last night, I went to the supermarket to look for her. The car was parked at the corner diagonally opposite to the supermarket, with the key inserted in it. I couldn't find her, so I drove back. "
"OK."
Luo An drew a circle on the notebook, and was about to go to the supermarket to check the monitoring later. When he was about to get up, he suddenly blinked his eyes, tilted his head and asked:
"Mr. Qiao Nuo, what is your wife's height and weight?"
"1.66 meters, about 45kg."
Roan stood up from the sofa, and Lacey also walked out of her daughter's house on the second floor. After waving goodbye to her daughter, she and Roan walked out of the apartment door.
"Just a teenage girl who got scammed by the school quarterback."
Seeing Roan tilt her head and look at herself, Lacey shook her head: "This matter has nothing to do with her, at least I didn't see that she lied to me."
Roan nodded, trusting the judgment of Lacey who came out of the intelligence office.
Looking at Ryder, Ryder shook his head:
"There are no clues near the house, and there is no sign of struggle in the car. It is obvious that the missing Susan got out of the car on her own initiative."
"OK."
No more hesitation, Roan decisively took the two of them back to the SUV and drove to the 'Louis Supermarket'
—
Louis Supermarket is a small supermarket similar to an oriental canteen. The owner is an old white lady named Louise.
Hearing Roan's question, Louise shook her head and said that her canteen didn't have the money to install surveillance cameras. As for what happened last night.
"As soon as the woman got in the car, a gray car stopped beside her."
Louis said that she is getting old and her eyesight is not working well. She couldn’t see clearly what happened last night:
"A white man got out of the gray car, about forty years old, with curly hair, wearing an ordinary black coat.
The man chatted with the woman in the red car for a while. The woman got out of the car with a smile. The man opened the trunk with a smile. Before the woman could react, the man stuffed it in. "
Lacy, Ryder: "."
Roan: "Okay."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he recorded the words Louise narrated in a small notebook.
As for why Louise didn't call the police, it can only be said that the people living at the bottom of American society have never had a past.
Roan continued to ask:
"Did you see the license plate number on that car? Or, have you seen the man driving the car before?"
"My eyesight is not good, how can I see the license plate number clearly? It is even more impossible to see the man's face clearly."
Louis curled her lips, feeling that the dentures in her mouth were a little crooked, she stretched out her hand to straighten it up and said slowly:
"But I did see that man when I went to eat at Little St. Phil's Church.
He didn't eat, but stood half in the shadow and half in the sun, watching the newlyweds in the church smoking silently. "
Hearing this, Roan, Lacey, and Ryder glanced at each other, their eyes lit up, and just about to ask Louise a few more words, the other party suddenly took out three cans of drinks from the side and stuffed them into the arms of the three:
"$3, thanks."
Roan: "."
Paying the payment silently, Lacey and Ryder went around to inquire about those old-fashioned cameras that were not connected to the Internet, hoping to find some clues.
Roan walked towards the spot where the red car was parked last night.
"Mona, where I am standing now, is there any network monitoring?"
Hearing Roan's words, there was the sound of typing on the keyboard on the other end of the phone, followed by Mona's sigh:
"Your area belongs to the old city, and there is no network monitoring in a large area."
Tell Mona the color of the car and the time to leave here, Roan continued:
"Then you should check the main road with surveillance video outside this area, and record the suspicious gray cars that appeared at that time."
"OK".
Hung up the phone, after a while, Lacey and Ryder came back back and forth.
"Most of the surveillance cameras installed by businesses are old-fashioned, and they are all facing indoors."
Lacey's complexion is not very good: "There are several surveillance cameras facing the outside, but the surveillance area is only the entrance of your own shop."
Ryder nodded: "It's the same on my side."
"All right."
The old towns in the United States are like this, Roan didn't say much, but took Lacey and Ryder into the SUV again:
"Go to Little St. Phil's Church, I have a hunch that there will be surprises for me."
Thank you for your support! Don't talk nonsense, today is the third watch!
