Tokyo Police

v3 Chapter 18: Melanie is missing

When Lin Xiuyi saw the advertisement of looking for a girl posted on the telephone pole, he suddenly realized a big problem. This area is the base of the Green River Killer. Melanie is putting up posters looking for Natalie. Does it attract the attention of the Green River Killer, not to mention that this poster also contains important information such as Melanie's contact information and home address. The more Lin Xiuyi thought about it, the more wrong it became, thinking that Melanie had told him that she had received a silent phone call before, Lin Xiuyi became even more nervous.

"Sean, hurry up, something may have happened to Melanie!" Lin Xiuyi and Sean realized that there might be a big problem, and immediately became nervous. The two quickly ran back into the car, started the car, and went straight to Melanie's house.

Lin Xiuyi retrieved the route of Melanie's house from his mobile phone, and then drove wildly. Sean, who was sitting in the co-pilot, used his mobile phone to contact the branch and quickly sent a detective to Melanie's house to check what happened. The department got in touch and asked them to contact the nearest police officer to go to Melanie's house to check on the situation.

Lin Xiuyi's car was galloping on the road leading to the city, going the wrong way and running red lights several times. But time was running out, and Lin Xiuyi couldn't care about these things. Just before he was about to arrive at Melanie's house, he nearly collided with a normal moving van.

Lin Xiu drove the car to the road outside Melanie's house. The two of them ran out of the car without turning off the engine and ran to Melanie's house.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Melanie, are you there?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Melanie!"

"Lin, the back door seems to be open!"

Hearing Sean's reminder, Lin Xiuyi quickly broke into Melanie's house with Sean.

"Melanie!"

Lin Xiu shouted while searching for Melanie's trace in the house. He took out his phone and called Melanie. The crisp mobile phone ringtone suddenly came from the backyard.

Lin Xiu ran to the backyard looking for the voice, and soon found Melanie's phone in the grass.

"not good!"

Lin Xiuyi and Sean subconsciously realized that Melanie might have really encountered something unexpected. Lin Xiuyi ran back to the house anxiously, and suddenly noticed that there were two cups on the coffee table in the living room. Lin Xiuyi walked over and touched the cups. The cups were still warm, and the coffee inside was still steaming. Lin Xiuyi suddenly remembered the van that he almost collided with just now.

"asshole!"

"Sean, that truck, hurry up!"

Lin Xiu greeted each other one by one, and the two ran back into the car again, turning the front of the car along the route just now and chasing after them at full speed. Lin Xiu slammed the steering wheel, stepped up the accelerator and chased forward. Just now, I was only concerned about getting to Melanie's house as soon as possible, and I didn't remember the appearance of the van at all. Lin Xiuyi vaguely remembered that it was a white truck, which looked a little worn out. It seemed that there were some patterns on it, which should have been used by a certain company for delivery. It's a pity that Lin Xiuyi and Sean didn't notice the specific name just now.

Lin Xiuyi ran all the way, and Sean called the headquarters for support, hoping that the police and federal agents who arrived here one after another would pay attention to whether such a car had ever appeared.

Ten minutes have passed...

Twenty minutes have passed...

Half an hour has passed...

The anxious Lin Xiuyi felt more and more despair in his heart. Where is that car?

"Damn it, it was almost!" Lin Xiu knew that he had missed a huge opportunity, and he parked his car on the side of the road in annoyance. His feeling was indescribable. Lin Xiuyi knew that he had made a fatal mistake, and this mistake would likely cost Melanie her own life.

"Hello, North Precinct Police Department? I'm Federal Agent Sean Cornwallis. We're looking for a white van on Mayflower Street. I don't remember the license plate number. Anyway, help me with this time. Find all the white vans passing by Mayflower Street in Duan..." Sean still used the phone to contact the acquaintances of the North Jurisdiction Police Station, hoping they could help the FBI find the whereabouts of the Green River Killer.

"Lin, let's go back first and see what clues we can find at the scene!" Although Sean was also very annoyed, he still retained a glimmer of hope. He hoped that the traffic cameras on the road could find the trail of the Green River Killer.

Lin Xiu got up from the steering wheel. After experiencing the initial frustration, Lin Xiu forced himself to calm down. He thought of a question, why did the Green River Killer kidnap Melanie. This is not a crime that the Green River Killer is good at at all. Kidnapping a single mother from a well-secured residential area in the Great White Paradise is completely risky. Why did the Green River Killer do this...

The more Lin Xiuyi thought about it, the more wrong it became. After he realized these doubts, Lin Xiuyi immediately turned around and rushed to Melanie's house again.

"Sean, why do you think the Green River Killer kidnapped Melanie?" Lin Xiuyi asked Sean on the way back.

"I don't know~lightnovelpub.net~ but I don't think it's that simple!" After asking Lin Xiuyi, Sean also noticed the unusual behavior of the Green River Killer. Why was Melanie kidnapped? Didn't the Green River Killer only take ** as his hunting target?

"Sean, I think the Green River Killer is making a mistake. If my estimate is correct, the call that Melanie mentioned a few days ago was also made by the Green River Killer. His purpose at that time should be to confirm something, simply It's just stepping on the spot. It's so abnormal that a mature serial killer suddenly abandons the modus operandi he is good at, and instead takes the risk of choosing a modus operandi and a target that he is not good at. I think something may have forced him had to do it..."

Lin Xiuyi suddenly thought of another question. After the Green River Killer caught the victim, he usually tortured him for a period of time before killing the victim. In this way, if she can find the Green River Killer as soon as possible, Melanie still has the possibility of surviving.

When Lin Xiuyi returned to Melanie's house, the FBI colleagues who arrived before them had blocked the place. About twenty minutes later, the scene search unit also arrived at Melanie's home. Even the head of the crime lab, Barney Wellwood, who rarely travels out of the field, came to the scene in person, which shows how much the FBI attaches to the Green River Killer.

"Barney, there are two cups of coffee on the coffee table. Let's see if you can get the DNA of strangers except Melanie!" Lin Xiuyi grabbed Barney and reminded him impatiently.

Barney nodded at Lin Xiu, then crossed the cordon and walked into the house.

PS: I recommend a friend's book "Rebirth of the Super Banking System". This book tells the story of a banker's rise against the trend, infiltrating the world, and calling for wind and rain. It has nearly a million words and can be read.
