v3 Chapter 3: missing girl

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen this girl, what happened!" Lin Xiuyi replied regretfully.

"Are you...Are you the FBI?" The other party asked in surprise when he saw that Lin Xiuyi had forgotten to take off his badge.

"Well...actually...not quite...I'm actually a foreign policeman who came to the United States to participate in the exchange!" Lin Xiuyi's English was not very good, and it was even more difficult for him to explain such a complicated matter.

"Please help me, my daughter has been missing for several weeks!" the other party continued to plead.

"I'm sorry, but you can tell me what's going on, I think I can help you ask!" Lin Xiuyi knew that he couldn't help, but seeing a mother so sad, Lin Xiuyi was still a little bit. Unbearable. Although he and Sean have only just met, it is always possible to ask the mother for help.

"You are such a good person!" Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was willing to help her, the mother immediately showed a grateful expression.

"Look. There is a cafe over there, we can find a place to sit and have a cup of coffee, and then you can tell me what happened?" Lin Xiuyi pointed to a cafe across the street that served dinner.

Lin Xiuyi and the woman they just met came to the cafe across the street. After asking each other if they had eaten dinner, Lin Xiuyi asked for two hamburger sets.

"Sir, thank you for taking the time to help me find my daughter!" The other party took a sip of coffee and said sadly.

"Can you tell me what happened? Also, what's your name?" Lin Xiuyi looked at him kindly and asked.

"My name is Melanie, and my daughter's name is Natalie. About three weeks ago, after a big fight with my daughter, she ran away from home and never came back. I..."

Melanie couldn't help crying without saying a word, and the tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes. Lin Xiu took a look at Melanie's appearance. This woman was probably in her thirties, and she looked pretty, but her eyes were a little swollen, probably because of crying.

"Actually, Natalie ran away from home before, and every time she would come back after she ran out of money, and then I took her out to buy some clothes and we made up. I thought this time would be the same as in the past, but It's been three weeks now...I don't know where she is."

Melanie didn't say a few words, her emotions broke down again, Lin Xiuyi persuaded a few words, but Melanie couldn't stop crying. The whole restaurant was staring at Lin Xiuyi as if he had done something bad.

"Have you asked Natalie's friends? Do they know where she went?" Lin Xiu asked again and again, these are the standard procedures of the police, and Lin Xiu just asked as usual.

"I've asked everything I could find, but I'm not very familiar with Natalie's friends, so I can't contact some of them..." Melanie could only answer Lin Xiuyi's question intermittently because she was emotional.

"Do you have any relatives or friends in Seattle, or do you know where Natalie might end up?" Lin Xiuyi continued to ask.

"I've searched all the places I know, but there's no news about her..."

Lin Xiu thought for a while, then picked up the flyer that Melanie handed him and looked at it carefully. It can be seen that Natalie inherited her mother's genes. Looking pretty. The age on the flyer says 16. But the real person looks more mature.

The photo shows Natalie with blond hair and black eyeliner, wearing ripped jeans and a statement T-shirt, with three studs on her right ear. A decorative necklace in the shape of a skull is worn around the neck. The whole person looks like a punk girl.

"Is this what she looked like when she ran away immediately?" Lin Xiuyi asked Melanie, pointing to the photo on the flyer.

"Yes, it's basically like this except for the clothes!" Melanie confirmed to Lin Xiuyi.

"Do you have any photos of her without makeup? If possible, I'd like to see her real appearance!" Lin Xiuyi asked again and again.

After Melanie heard this, she quickly dug out her wallet from the leather bag she was carrying. After opening it, a photo was placed in Melanie's transparent interlayer.

"Look, this is what Natalie looks like without makeup!" Melanie said, pointing to Natalie holding her from behind Melanie in the photo. In the photo, the mother and daughter are smiling very happily, but who would have thought such a thing would happen today?

Lin Xiuyi took the two photos and looked at them, hoping to keep Natalie's appearance deeply in his mind. To be honest, finding missing persons is not an easy task, Natalie has been missing for so long, UU reading www. The uukanshu.com police must have filed a case. If the police can't find Natalie's whereabouts, it's even more impossible for him.

Looking at Melanie's current state, Lin Xiuyi couldn't say anything. Now Lin Xiuyi has just started working in the FBI, so he can't help Melanie. Lin Xiuyi looked at Melanie and thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't say what he refused.

"Ms. Melanie, can I leave your contact information? When there is news, I will inform you as soon as possible..." Lin Xiuyi replied with a guilty conscience. To be honest, he didn't want to give Melanie too much hope. Lin Xiuyi read all day today about murder and arson. Although Seattle's public security level claims to be ranked among the top three in the United States, the impression Lin Xiuyi got from Sean's office was not like that. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more than 20 homicides in the Seattle area alone.

And it seems that because Seattle's city administrators are particularly tolerant of homeless people, Seattle's homeless population also ranks among the top in the United States. Just on Highway 90, which leads to King County, east of downtown Seattle, a large number of homeless people gather. And these people happen to be the people who are easy to induce crime.

"Officer, after chatting for so long, what's your name before asking?" Melanie asked proactively before she was separated.

"Just call me Officer Lin!"

This dinner lasted for more than an hour. In the end, because of Melanie's insistence, Lin Xiuyi's dinner was counted on her account. But to be honest, Lin Xiuyi is actually more willing to spend his own money, because he has no confidence in finding Natalie's whereabouts.

Just when Lin Xiuyi was worried about finding Natalie, he suddenly received a call from Sean.

"Lin, would you like to come out for a drink?"
