Chapter 256 Smell of rancid urine and stinky salty fish

  A community in Queens, New York.

  The phone rang, and Roan immediately got up and walked to the side of the room.

   "This is Roan."

   "It's me, Ryder."

  The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, but Ryder's words were still very clear:

   "The mission was successfully completed, we have captured Elud Brook, and there were no casualties."

  This operation was just to arrest an ordinary young man who had no systematic training. For Ryder, Lacey and the group of SWAT players, it couldn't be easier.

   "Good."

  Roan nodded, but when he heard that Ryder's tone seemed a little wrong, he immediately asked:

   "Is something wrong?"

   "Well, there is indeed a problem, but it's not Erud Brook's."

   Before Ryder finished speaking, the phone was snatched by Lacey. Lacey's voice was a little soft, but her tone was gloating:

   "Roan, we just arrested Elud Brook at the gate of St. John's Hospital.

  After our operation was over, the doctors who took care of Patient Zero Matthew Ethan told us that they had just detected early signs of Kaposi's sarcoma and two other tumors in Matthew Ethan's body. "

"Forehead…"

  Roan frowned slightly when he heard this. Kaposi sarcoma is a common complication of AIDS patients. In most cases, people suffering from this kind of thing basically have 1-3 years of life left.

  Plus there are traces of other tumors in the body... Matthew Ethan doesn't have much savings at this time, and his remaining time is obviously just around the corner.

   But for Matthew Ethan, a selfish, selfish guy who harmed a group of people by himself, Roan had no sympathy, so his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly:

   "Lacey, it's enough to be happy for a while. Let's bring Elud Brook back first."

   "OK."

   Lacey smiled, nodded in agreement and hung up the phone.

  Roan put the phone back in his pocket and sat back on the sofa. Grandma Lan Ruisa was introducing her daughter Polly to Mona.

   "I really regret giving birth to her!"

   Judging from the appearance and conversation between words, Lan Ruisha is a very well-mannered old woman.

   But when it comes to her daughter Polly, Lan Ruisha's face is full of anger:

   "From childhood, Polly has always been a naughty child, but her father and I didn't care. After all, we are children, and being lively is not a problem.

   But when she got older, Polly got worse. She not only skipped classes and dropped out of school, but also hung out with a group of cronies, and even got into reading later! "

  Mona and Roan frowned slightly when they heard the words. Once they get infected, nothing good will happen most of the time.

   Sure enough, Ranrisa continued:

   "Then one day, Polly suddenly came back with a big belly, and she didn't say who the father of the child was.

   There is no way, her father and I can only help her bear the cost of having a child, and name the child Ansel Ward..."

   "OK."

  Mona briefly recorded the information in a small notebook, and then asked:

   "So, have you been taking care of little Ansel all this time?"

   "We care?"

   Lan Ruisha sneered when she heard the words:

   “Sometimes Polly would ask me to babysit little Ansel for one night, and then she would disappear for months.

   Then she went home consciously, saying that she had quit drugs, and hoped that I would return little Ansel to her..."

  Lan Ruisa said that she didn't want to hand little Ansel to Polly, but she was getting old and her husband died during this period, so she didn't have enough energy, so she had to choose to trust Polly once, after all, she was little Ansel's mother.

   But judging from the current situation, Polly is the same as before, still untrustworthy.

  Mona continued to ask while writing:

   "When was the last time you saw little Ansel?"

   "Six or seven months ago."

   "What about Polly?"

   "Same, I haven't seen her since then."     Mona frowned slightly when she heard this, while Roan, who was sitting by the side, straightened up and asked:

   "Ms. Ranrisa, do you have a picture of Polly here?"

  ——

  The darkness was due to the SUV driving slowly on the road, not because Roan didn't want to step on the accelerator, but because Mona in the co-pilot was searching for that Polly through her laptop.

  In the photo Lan Ruisa gave to Roan and Mona, Polly is a white girl with short blonde hair, a delicate face, and a passionate appearance.

  Roan briefly glanced at the photo, then threw it aside:

   "Unfortunately, I got infected with the reading material."

   "Polly probably wouldn't have been a good mother if she hadn't gotten into the reading material."

  Mona on the co-pilot said casually while typing on the keyboard:

  “I have a high school classmate, she is very similar to Polly, she also chose to drop out of school and hang out with a group of guys who don’t know where they came from early on.

  We chatted some time ago. Although she didn’t get infected with reading materials, her husband was missing, and she beat and scolded her children. Her whole life was a mess. "

  Roan was a little confused:

   "Which high school classmate of yours? When did you contact me?"

   "It was some time ago, when I first moved into your apartment."

  Mona replied casually:

   “She was desperate for money, so she contacted me.”

  Roan frowned slightly:

   "Did you lend it to her?"

"of course not!"

  Mona curled her lips. She and that female classmate had only talked in high school and were not familiar with each other, but now she actually started to ask her to borrow money.

  Mona judged that there was a high probability that she had already borrowed money from people she was familiar with, but she hadn't paid it back. As a result, no one was willing to continue to lend her money, so she started contacting people she didn't know very well like Mona.

  Roan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and at this moment, Mona tapped the keyboard and said with a smile:

   "OK! I found this Polly!"

   "Great, thanks for your hard work!"

  Roan held the steering wheel tightly with both hands:

   "Where is that woman now?"

   "Records indicate she was in a women's shelter in Brooklyn at 114A Abbey Street."

  ——

   Half an hour later, inside the shelter.

  Showed the golden badge of the FBI to the person in charge of the shelter, Roan took out Polly's fraudulent photo, and the other party nodded:

   "Yes, Dina is indeed in this shelter."

  Mona frowned:

   "Dina?"

  Roan didn't care about it, it's just a fake name, it's normal, so he asked directly:

   "Where is she now?"

   "She's in there."

  The person in charge pointed to the densely packed beds in the shelter and shrugged:

   "Go find it yourself, I don't know exactly where it is."

   "OK."

  Note here is a women's shelter, so most of the women inside are dressed casually.

   Seeing a handsome man like Roan come in, some young women hurriedly pulled up their clothes to cover their vitals, and more older women not only didn't care, but whistled at Roan.

  Roan, whose appetite has been spoiled by Mona, doesn't bother to talk to these women, not to mention the mixed smell of rotten urine, stinky salted fish, etc. in the asylum.

   Especially the smell of salted fish, even though Luo Anxin was determined, he still felt a little nauseated.

  Hold your breath and search one by one. Roan just searched halfway on the left side of the shelter when Mona's shout suddenly sounded from the right side of the shelter:

   "Stop! Don't run!"
