v3 Chapter 12: message from babysitter

Jessica, an FBI civilian in her thirties, holds a Juris Doctor degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Getting her to play the role of a single mother who lives on a strip street is actually a bit difficult.

The striptease street on Route 90 has a large floating population, and most of them are young homeless women, and a considerable number of them are single mothers. When these single mothers go out to work, they need someone to look after their children no matter what.

Lin Xiuyi hoped that Jessica would be able to find the one who helped Mary to take care of the child among those who had the experience of babysitting who came to apply for the job. Although it was also luck, the scope was much better than bumping around on the street.

Sean rents two rooms in a motel for Jessica and installs bugs and hidden cameras. And Lin Xiuyi carefully prepared several questions for the nanny interview, including who was the last employer, whether he had any experience with a baby under one year old, and so on. These questions can help you eliminate a large number of unqualified babysitters, and among the remaining people, there should be the person Lin Xiuyi is looking for.

In addition, another group of people began to investigate the large and small child rescue and welfare agencies in Seattle to see if any school-age children who coincided with Mary's birth date were registered for assistance during this period. If there is, then the child is likely to be left by Mary.

Starting from 9:00 a.m., people came to apply for the position of babysitter one after another, and Jessica was inquiring about Mary from these people.

"Have you taken care of a one-year-old child?" Jessica asked a Latino woman who came to apply for the application according to the answer designed by Lin Xiuyi.

"Uh! I'm sorry, I didn't know your child was so young. If that's the case, I don't think I'm suitable for this job!" As soon as the other party heard Jessica's reported age, he immediately backed off.

"It doesn't matter, do you know who can take care of such an old child? I usually work at night, and I can bring my own during the day..." Jessica asked again.

"I heard that there is a Filipino, she seems to be able to take over such a job..." Although the Latino woman who came to apply for the job didn't get the job, she kindly revealed some useful information to Jessica.

Sitting in the next room, Lin Xiuyi heard the conversation between Jessica and the candidate clearly. From this conversation, Lin Xiuyi got another useful message. That is, very few applicants are willing to take care of babies around 1 year old. Now, Lin Xiuyi can narrow down the scope again.

"Lin, it seems that we should make it clear that we are looking for a nanny who can take care of a one-year-old baby!" Sean suggested to Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiu shook his head and then said, "If that's the case, it's very likely that we don't have a single applicant today. Let's find out about the Filipino nanny we mentioned just now!"

Lin Xiuyi and Sean said hello to Jessica and left first. Others in the precinct continued to stay in the room next to Jessica to look for the suspicious nanny.

The Latina woman who came to apply for a job just now mentioned that there is a Filipino nanny who can take care of a baby of about one year old, but the price is slightly higher. With this information, Lin Xiuyi could easily find the Filipino nanny. First of all, Filipinos have their own fixed settlements. Secondly, there are not many Filipinos. Finally, it is not difficult to find a nanny who is willing to take care of a one-year-old baby from the middle. And Lin Xiuyi's Asian identity makes it easier for him to deal with these Filipinos who are also from Asia.

Lin Xiuyi and Sean came to a foot massage shop run by a Filipino near Highway 90. The two disguised themselves as customers and asked the Filipino woman in the shop about the nanny. The circle of Filipinos around here is really small, and Lin Xiuyi easily found out that a Filipino housewife named Barbara could take care of children around one year old, but the price was slightly higher.

"Can this nanny named Barbara take care of the children at night?" Lin Xiu asked quietly, the female technician who had always served him.

"Of course, Barbara is my countryman. Her child wants to study in the United States. She needs a lot of money. As long as she is given money, she is willing to do any hard work!" The female technician introduced Lin Xiuyi.

"Okay, then, can you take us to her! My friend just needs a nanny, money is not a problem!" Lin Xiuyi pointed at Sean and asked the massage technician.

Under the guidance of the female technician in the pedicure shop, Lin Xiuyi and Sean quickly found the Philippine nanny named Barbara. Barbara looked thin, with dark skin and gray hair. The clothes on her body are also a little worn, and it can be seen that her life is not well-off. After Sean showed his FBI account, Lin Xiuyi took out a photo of Mary and asked if the other party had seen this person.

"It seems to be a bit of an impression!" Barbara said with certainty~lightnovelpub.net~ Oh! When was the last time you saw her? "Lin Xiuyi asked excitedly.

"It must have been more than two months ago! This woman is very pitiful, the child is so young, and she has no money. To be honest, I don't make much money helping her take care of the child. Even the remuneration is paid on a daily basis, and occasionally I'm in arrears, but in the end I got all the rewards I deserved!" Barbara and Lin Xiuyi were a little cautious in their conversation, but they were very cooperative with Lin Xiuyi's inquiry.

"Have you been to where Mary lives?" Lin Xiuyi asked expectantly.

"No! Sir, I can't afford a car, nor can I get a driver's license. All the guests send their children to me to take care of them and pick them up during the day. A fellow countryman of mine runs a motel, and where do I usually help? In exchange, my fellow villagers promised not to take my money, so I could live there!" Barbara was a little afraid of Lin Xiuyi and Sean's identities, probably because Barbara didn't have a legal residence status. However, Sean is not from the immigration office, and has no interest in whether Barbara is an illegal immigrant.

"Do you know anything else about Mary? For example, has she mentioned where she lives?" Lin Xiuyi asked reluctantly.

"I once received Christmas cards and gifts from Mary, thanking me for helping her take care of the children, but I don't remember her address..."

"Okay, Barbara, thank you for your help! If there is a need, we will continue to contact you!" Lin Xiuyi said gratefully, being able to confirm that Mary really needs a nanny, Lin Xiuyi didn't come in vain this time.

"Sir, will I be sent back to the Philippines?" Barbara asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Barbara! We won't tell the immigration office about you." Sean assured.
