Chapter 347 Convincing Madalyn Allen
On the way to Kara’s house.
The dark SUV was speeding forward. Lacey's cell phone in the passenger seat suddenly rang. She pressed the answer button and Mona's voice came from the other end of the phone:
“Both of you, John has disappeared and I can’t find him.”
“What?”
Luo An, who was driving, looked unchanged. Lacey frowned slightly when she heard this:
“When did it happen? Where did you disappear?”
“Three minutes ago, the missing location was on the road next to Los Angeles Airport.”
Mona on the other end of the phone sounded a little annoyed:
“In just one traffic light, John’s figure completely disappeared.”
Lacie sighed:
“The daughter disappeared first, and the father disappeared again. Today’s case is so lively.”
Luo An ignored the lamented Lacey. He grabbed the phone and asked:
“Michelle, how is your investigation going?”
“Still working hard!”
“Good.”
Luo An continued:
“Mona, while you are looking for John’s whereabouts, carefully investigate John’s past resume and his bank account to see if he has withdrawn money recently.”
“OK!”
Hang up the call and throw the phone back to Lacey. Luoan stepped on the accelerator and the dark SUV moved forward a few minutes faster.
Five minutes later, Kara's house.
“Good evening, Ms. Madalyn.”
Entering the villa with Lacey, Luo An asked directly:
“Where is your ex-husband now?”
“My ex-husband? You mean John?”
Madalene Allen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained:
“He’s on his way here.”
While Madalyn Allen was speaking, Luo An had been observing her expression and movements, and it was obvious that she was not lying. She really thought that John was driving here.
Lacie and Luo An looked at each other, pulled Allen to sit on the sofa, and said softly:
“Ms. Madalyn, according to our investigation, your ex-husband John has just disappeared. Do you know where he is most likely to go?”
“John is missing?!”
Mcdalen Allen's pupils shrank when she heard this. She suddenly thought of something, her expression calmed down again, she shook her head and said:
“Impossible, he called me just now and said there was a bit of traffic on the road, but he would be here soon.”
Luo An's lips moved slightly when he saw this, and he stopped wasting time and asked directly:
“Ms. Madalyn, do you really think your ex-husband alone can bring your daughter back?”
Madalene Allen subconsciously looked up at Luo An, and when she saw Luo An's eyes, she quickly turned to look at Lacey:
“Sorry, Deputy Leader Greenwood, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“No, you understand, you just don’t want to admit it.”
Luo An sat on the chair, staring at Madalyn Allen, and said in a deep voice:
“We know that John promised you that he would bring his daughter back, but have you ever thought about a question:
The guy who kidnapped your daughter is most likely not one person, but a group of people.
Is John really capable of escaping unharmed from a group of enemies with his daughter?
Also, the other party killed the nanny Samira in order to kidnap your daughter. It is obvious that the other party does not care about human life at all, you..."
"enough!"
Following Luo An's words, Madalyn Allen's whole body began to tremble, and her eyes quickly turned red. She suddenly stopped Luo An from continuing to speak loudly, and said in a condensed voice:
“I believe John.”
Lacie frowned angrily when she saw this, and just as she was about to speak, Luo An grabbed her hand and asked:
“Ms. Madalyn, are you sure?”
Madalyn Allen didn't answer, her eyes moved left and right unconsciously. It was obvious that she had taken what Luo An just said into her heart, but her ex-husband's confident assurance also made her unable to ignore it. She didn't know what to do, and she continued to struggle. . Luo An can understand Madalin's mentality and approach for her daughter, but her current behavior has obviously hindered her from handling the case.
After pondering for a moment, Luo An's eyes flashed with light, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said in a deep voice:
“In accordance with the mandatory reporting requirements for child abuse and neglect under federal child protection laws, and the conduct of Mr. John and Ms. Madalyn in this case:
We now have sufficient reason to suspect that Mr. John is the main suspect in the kidnapping of Carla. Ms. Madalyn has been deceived by the other party and is unable to make a correct judgment that is beneficial to Carla's life safety.
In response to the above situation, according to federal law, the FBI has the right to temporarily deprive Ms. Madalyn of her right to take the lead in this case, and the next actions will be based on the FBI’s judgment!
Lacie! Immediately issue an arrest warrant for John Rodriguez! Let all law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles pursue John Rodriguez with all their strength! "
"no problem!"
After understanding the look Luo An gave her, Lacey immediately stood up and left the sofa. She agreed loudly and took out her mobile phone to make a call.
“No! You can’t do this!”
Hearing Luo An’s words and seeing Lacey’s actions, Madalyn Allen suddenly panicked and hurriedly stood up and shouted:
“You can’t do this! You don’t have the power!”
Luo An spread his hands:
“I’m sorry, but federal law allows me to do this when a parent is unable to make good judgment.”
The federal law in 2005 was relatively mild. If in more than ten years, teachers in some schools encourage their children to take drugs or use physical means to directly change their gender without telling their parents, and the parents find out about it and take this matter to court, the court will On the contrary, it will deprive the parents of their custody rights.
The reason is that the parents are “characteristically discriminatory” and “ignorant of gender pronouns”…
Madalyn Allen doesn't know the future magical world. She only knows that if Luo An really issues a wanted order against John, it will be unpredictable whether her daughter can come back.
“I really don’t know where John is now!”
After staring at Luo An for a moment, Madalyn Allen begged:
“Please, I really don’t know where he is, I just want my daughter to come back safely.”
“Then please cooperate with us, Ms. Madalyn.”
Luo An poured a glass of water and handed it to her hand:
"Time waits for no one. If we delay it any longer, none of us know what will happen."
After a moment of silence, Madalyn Allen whispered:
“An area south of Los Angeles Airport where John once had a house. I don’t know if it still exists.”
Madalene-Allen said that when she and John first got married, she thought that John was cheating on her and secretly checked the house. John did not know about it.
“Good.”
Taking out a pen and paper to check the specific location of the house, Luo An signaled the two female agents to guard the place and immediately drove out of the villa with Lacey.
On the way, Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:
“How are you, have you found John?”
“Still working on it.”
Mona on the other end of the phone was typing on the computer keyboard frantically:
“I already have an idea, give me some more time.”
“OK, good work.”
Hang up the phone, Luo An drove the SUV quickly toward the house that Madalin said.
Ten minutes later, Luo An and Lacey came to an ordinary community and found a more ordinary-looking room.
“There is no one in the room.”
Handing a pistol close to the door of the room, Luo An made a quick judgment, and then entered the room with Lacey.
“Looks like no one has lived there for a long time.”
Lacie touched a handful of dust on the coffee table and put away the pistol:
“It doesn’t look like anyone has been here. It seems we are in the wrong place.”
"No"
Luo An looked at the paintings hanging on the bathroom wall and said with a smile:
“We’ve found the right place.”
