Luo An tilted his head and looked at Dany, and saw her delicate little face was full of seriousness.
Before Luo An could ask any questions, Dani continued to say crisply:
"When my mother was at work, a black colleague once took a picture of her. It must have been the black man who took my mother away!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Luo An raised his head and looked at Ryder, and then asked hurriedly:
"When did that happen?"
"I do not remember."
Danni's mouth tightened, her eyes turned red again, and she explained in a low voice:
"I had a stomachache that day. After my mother took me to see the doctor, she took me to the supermarket. While I was playing games on the table, my mother's black colleague hid behind the potato chips and took out a black box to take a photo of my mother. ....."
Danni's words were confused and confusing. Luo An didn't understand the specific situation of the day, but he understood the meaning of Danni's words:
There was a black man who secretly filmed Tamara while she was working as a cashier at the supermarket front desk.
"Thank you, Dani, your message was very helpful to me."
Seeing Danni crying again, Luo An hurriedly comforted her.
At this moment, a black car slowly stopped on the side of the road. Two middle-aged white women in uniforms and a middle-aged white man in police uniform got out of the car.
"Hello, you must be Agent Luo An."
One of the white women saw the little blond loli being held in the arms of the armed Luo An, and there was a stronger and armed man standing next to her. The corner of her mouth twitched, but she still stretched out her hand and said:
"My name is Anna, from the New Jersey Department of Child Protection."
"Hello, just call me Luo An."
Stretching out his hand and shaking hands with the other party, Luo An took the other party's ID and looked at it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, Luo An handed Danni over to the other party.
At the same time, he pointed to the red bungalow next to him and briefly introduced Sanderson’s experience and current situation.
After listening to Luo An's narration, Anna nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, we will take good care of Dani and monitor Sanderson at all times. Only when Sanderson changes his drinking habits and regains the ability to take care of Dani will we return Dani to him."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After shaking hands with the other party again, Luo An briefly chatted with him for a few words. Just as he turned to leave, Dani suddenly called him and then put her little hairpin into Luo An's hand.
"Luo An, this is the hairpin my mother bought for me."
Danni looked at Luo An twitchingly, holding on to Luo An's hand, her delicate little face full of prayers:
"You must catch the bad guy who hurt my mother, please..."
"...I promise you, Dany."
Sighing, Luo An stuffed the hairpin into his breast pocket in front of Dani, then patted her little head and agreed in a deep voice:
"I will definitely catch him."
The dark SUV drove forward, and Luo An sat in the passenger seat. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Danni still staring at this place reluctantly, with a somewhat ugly expression on his face.
"As the FBI, you will see a lot of this kind of thing in the future."
Ryder, who was driving, took out a piece of chewing gum from somewhere, handed a piece to Luo An, put a piece into his mouth, and said while chewing:
"It'll be fine once you get used to it."
Without saying anything, he took the chewing gum and put it into his mouth. Luo An looked at the information he had just received from Sanderson. He was silent for a few seconds, then took out his phone and called Mona:
"Mona, check the Wal-Mart in the ** area to see if there are any black employees there."
The crackling sound of the computer rang on the other end of the phone, and after a moment Mona replied:
“The supermarket’s payroll records show that they have two black employees, one of whom is 56 years old, a security guard, and still working.
Another 28-year-old named Yoang is a worker responsible for moving goods. He was kicked out of the supermarket three weeks ago for stealing things. "
"OK."
Luo An nodded, motioned Mona to send him the home address and work location of the second black man, and then hung up the phone.
Reading the home address on the phone to Ryder, Luo An continued to look through the information in his hand:
"Let's check on Yoon first. His current workplace is a car repair shop, just on the way to the supermarket."
"OK."
Ryder nodded, stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel. The dark SUV instantly drove in the other direction.
——
"Joao has been here for two weeks and he has worked very hard. I have never lost anything here."
The owner of the car repair shop was an older black man. After learning about Luo An and Ryder's intention, he did not refuse and took them directly to Yoon. At the same time, he kept praising Yoon as a good young man.
Regarding the previous incident where Yoon was fired from the supermarket for stealing, the black boss smiled disdainfully and said directly:
"In that supermarket, the guys who worked with Yoon were all white. They didn't like Yoon, a black man who moved more things than them and got more money than them."
Roan and Ryder looked at each other and said nothing.
"Joao! Someone is looking for you!"
"coming!"
When the boss called him, a thick-lipped black man agreed, then slowly crawled out from under the car and appeared in front of Luo An and Ryder.
"you......"
Before Roan and Ryder could speak, the black man Yoang raised his hands without saying a word after seeing the equipment they were wearing:
"I don't know why you came to me, but I must make it clear first that I have no weapons on me and your guns must not go off."
"...OK."
Seeing that the other party's movements were so skillful, Luo An's mouth twitched, and then he asked directly without any nonsense:
"Hello Joao, do you remember Tamara?"
"Yeah, the cashier at Wal-Mart, I remember her."
Yoang nodded and slowly got up from the ground. Luo An continued:
"She disappeared. Some people said that you secretly photographed her before she disappeared."
"NO! FU-K!"
Hearing Luo An's words, Yoang's expression changed, he cursed a few times, and then hurriedly explained:
"Brother, this must be the manager of Wall Supermarket who said this to you. Let me tell you, this is definitely a false accusation!
When I was moving things in the supermarket warehouse a few weeks ago, I saw two people interacting with each other over ingredients in the corner of the warehouse, so I immediately walked over and scolded them.
As a result, when I walked over, I saw that the two people were actually the supermarket manager and his wife!
So the next day the supermarket manager said I was stealing in the supermarket and fired me. "
"OK."
Looking at Yoang calmly, Luo An did not dwell on this issue, but continued to ask:
"Then when you were working in the supermarket, did you see anyone walking around Tamara, or did anyone harass her before she disappeared?"
"Sorry, I really didn't notice that."
Yoon's greasy hands casually rubbed his work clothes and explained:
"As you know, my job at the time was to move things in a supermarket warehouse, and I basically never went to the front desk of the supermarket, so I only knew about Tamara's existence, but I didn't know much about her life and work."
