Chapter 447: Fifty thousand dollars, new information the female classmate knows

This bedroom is on the left side of the room. It is quite messy inside. There are many Spider-Man posters on the wall and many superhero comics on the desk.

 It is not difficult to guess that this is the room of Belinda's son, Henry, a middle school student.

 Selectively ignoring the toilet paper next to the computer and the Pretty Girls DVD under the bed, Winslow and Lacey walked into the room and asked in confusion:

 “Roan, what did you find?”

 “A bag of money.”

 Luo An dug out a stack of U.S. dollars in the mezzanine of the desk. Lacey reached out and took it and shook it. Luo An frowned slightly and said:

“About thirteen thousand dollars, Henry can’t get that much pocket money.”

Winslow added:

"Belinda can't give him so much. Her financial situation is not that good yet."

“So, Lacey, go check on the situation of this money and see where Henry got it from, whether he secretly sold illegal drugs or not, and whether it is related to this case.”

Luo An didn't care much about whether Henry, a middle school student, had done anything that violated federal laws. He just wanted to know where the mother and son were now.

As soon as Lacey took the money and turned around, Luo An and Winslow found no useful clues in the room, so they left the room, checked the surveillance and asked the neighbors.

 It is a pity that because of advocating "freedom" and "privacy", the surveillance cameras in this building were smashed, and nothing was found from the surveillance.

Belinda’s neighbors also had no clue. They had no idea what happened to the mother and her son, and they heard no struggling or shouting.

With the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An could be sure that the neighbors were telling the truth. Just as he and Winslow, who was speechless, were about to leave, a white old woman living on the corner of the first floor suddenly said one thing.

“Belinda and her son, together with a man, left the building that evening.”

Under continued questioning by Luo An and Winslow, the white old woman said that she did not see clearly what the man looked like. She only saw that the man was white, taller than Winslow, but thinner than Luo An.

　　　…”

Roan and Winslow left the building and drove not far when Lacey suddenly called them:

“You two, I found out the source of that money.”

Roan raised his eyebrows, and Winslow was very surprised:

"So fast?"

"certainly."

 Lacie on the other end of the phone chuckled and said:

“Except for Henry’s fingerprints, each of the money has another person’s fingerprints on it. The other person is absolutely inseparable from the money.”

"who's that person?"

 “A female classmate of Henry’s, Jessie.”

　　——

 “Good afternoon, Jess.”

A branch of a business school in Las Vegas, an office.

Winslow was sitting at the door of the office, slowly drinking a cup of coffee. Roan and Lacey were sitting on two chairs in the office, looking at the young girl with long red hair and a little freckles on her face across the table.

“Henry and her mother have been missing for two days. What terrible news.”

Seeing Jesse’s face full of panic and confusion, Lacey pushed a cup of coffee in front of her, smiled, and asked:

"Don't be nervous, we just found out that you and Henry are very close. You know something about him, right?"

 “Henry and I are indeed friends.”

Jessie swallowed, looked at Roan and then at Lacey, and said:

“But I don’t know anything about him. You know, I’m a girl, and he won’t tell me many things.”

 Luo An chuckled:

 “Like that more than ten thousand dollars?”

Jessie was stunned for a moment, quickly retracted her gaze, picked up the coffee, took a sip, shook her head and said:

 “Sorry, I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Seeing Jess's expression and actions, Luo An didn't say anything, and Lacey laughed directly: "Jessie, deceiving the FBI and lying to the FBI is a violation of federal law.

Except for Henry’s fingerprints, every one of the remaining pieces of money has your fingerprints on it. So, were you the one who gave Henry the money? "

Jessie lowered her head and was at a loss. Lacey raised a brow and reached out to pat her shoulder:

“Jessie, give you one last chance to tell us the truth, otherwise we will contact your parents.”

 “No! Don’t contact my parents!”

Hearing this, Jessie's pupils suddenly shrank and she raised her head and shouted. Looking at the expressionless Luo An, her body trembled violently, and she suddenly lowered her head and started crying.

  Luo An: “…”

 After a few minutes, Jess's mood gradually stabilized and she told what she knew.

Henry and Jess actually have a closer relationship. The two of them, both of whom have good grades in middle school, have begun discussing where to go to college.

However, if you want to go to college in the Federation, tuition is a big problem. Jess’s family is not particularly rich, but it is enough to pay for her to go to college.

Henry, on the other hand, is a single-parent family whose financial situation is very average. If he wants to go to college, the only way is to apply for a college loan.

“A few days ago, Henry suddenly and mysteriously pulled me aside and took out $50,000.”

 Jessie swallowed and said she was shocked and thought Henry had done something illegal.

Seeing that Jessie was worried, Henry patted his chest and said there was no need to be nervous. He made the money online through legal means and there was absolutely no problem.

With Henry's repeated assurances, Jess gradually let go of her anxiety, and the two began to live a life of debauchery after school. In the city of Las Vegas, they spent $10,000 in the blink of an eye. .

The reason why Jessie didn't dare to admit this was because Henry spent more than half of the ten thousand dollars on her, buying a lot of clothes and jewelry.

Of course, Henry also loved his mother very much, but he couldn't explain the money, so he secretly saved $20,000 and planned to give it to his mother for a suitable reason after he went to college.

Raising his head and looking at each other at Lacey, Luo An asked quietly:

“What exactly happened to the money that Henry allegedly earned legally online?”

“Henry said that someone told him on the Internet that he called his mother one night and lied that he was seriously ill and asked his mother to go home.

This $50,000 is a deposit. As long as his mother returns home smoothly, the man will give him another $50,000. "

 Speaking of this, Jie Qian burst into tears again.

Jessie knew about Henry's mother's work. The case at the O'Dell family villa was so hotly debated that she also heard about it.

Coupled with the fact that Henry lost contact the next day, she was smart and immediately thought of something, but because of fear and the messy thoughts in her mind, she did not dare to speak out at all, let alone call the police. She could only suppress herself. After these few days, A life of fear.

 “OK.”

 Luo An frowned slightly and nodded. He did not comment on the behavior and actions of the 16-year-old girl in front of him. He asked directly:

“Jessie, the person Henry said he was communicating with online, do you know who he is?”

"have no idea."

Jessie shook her head and then added:

“But I have seen Henry chatting with the other party on the computer. In order to prevent Henry from getting too close to other girls, I know the password of Henry’s chat account.”

 “Good.”

Luo An nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Lacey to take Jessie to log in to Henry's chat account. He took out his mobile phone and called Mona:

“How is the investigation going on here?”

“Sorry, Chenelle and I haven’t found any useful clues yet.”

Then Mona changed her subject:

“But Michelle found some interesting new clues in that diary.”
