Los Angeles Detective

Inside a black Ford Explorer.

Sitting in the passenger cab, Xiao Hei looked out the window from time to time, and said with emotion, "You know what? In some cases, the most annoying thing is not the suspect, but the family members of the victim who are unwilling to cooperate with the police investigation and always make trouble for the police.

They always have various reasons, thinking that they are for the benefit of the victim, but they are completely delaying the police investigation.

like now. "

Jackson said, "Maybe it's just that everyone thinks about the problem from a different perspective. Long live the understanding."

"You put it lightly, even if I understand them, can they understand me?" Xiao Hei glanced at his watch, "At this time, I should go home and have a warm dinner with my wife.

But now I can only stay in the car like a fool, my buttocks are numb.

Men cannot sit for long periods of time. "

Jackson said, "I can understand your thoughts, but such complaints are meaningless."

Xiao Hei asked back, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Uh...no."

"real?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you find a girlfriend? This age is when you are full of energy, don't tell me you have been solving it with your hands.

I will despise you. "

Jackson rolled his eyes, "I'm too busy to have a relationship. Besides, aren't the captain and Jenny single too?"

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "I don't know if Jenny is single, but the captain is not a person who can rest easy."

Jackson asked, "Does the captain have a girlfriend? How come I don't know."

Xiao Hei squeezed his eyes, pretending to be mysterious and asked, "Are you curious?"

"certainly."

"Then ask him yourself."

Jackson "..."

He felt that talking to Xiao Hei was superfluous.

A gray sedan pulled up to the garage of Tayana Haney's home, and a white man got out of the car and entered the house.

Little underworld, "This person should be Tayana Hanny's father.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Tayana Haney's father came back, but Tayana Haney hadn't returned from a friend's house.

She has already been missing once, and her parents are not worried at all? "

Xiao Hei dialed Luke's number, "Captain, Tayana Hanny's father has returned, but there is still no trace of Tayana Hanny."

Luke's voice came from the phone, "I met Tayana Hanni's teacher, and according to her, Tayana Hanni took sick leave today and didn't go to school."

"You guys keep an eye on it, I'll take people over there right away."

Luke hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

After leaving Tayana Hanny's house, Luke contacted Tayana Hanny's teacher. According to her teacher, Tayana Hanny did disappear once in June, and then came back to school normally, only occasionally Will call in sick.

This isn't the first time Tayana Haney has called in sick.

Because Tayana Hanni disappeared once, the school felt that she might have been affected psychologically, so there were no strict requirements for her to ask for leave.

This made Luke even more confused.

Compared with Olive Browning's clear kidnapping, Tayana Haney's situation is more confusing. What happened to her?

Did his parents know about it?

Suddenly, Luke had a bold guess in his mind. Is it possible that Tayana Hani was kidnapped again?

So Luke never found Tayana Hanni's figure.

Her mother would hide something, probably because she was worried that the kidnappers would tear up the ticket after the police intervened.

Luke thought about it carefully. This possibility is unlikely, but it may not be impossible.

If this is the case, you should be more careful when you approach Tayana Haney's parents.

But it doesn't matter if you don't touch it, and it may be dangerous to drag Tayana Hanny.

More importantly, all this is just Luke's speculation and needs to be confirmed.

The top priority now is to protect the safety of the victim. Assuming the victim is kidnapped again, the robbers may send someone to follow the victim's house, so Luke must contact the victim's parents in the safest way.

After having a plan, Luke began to act step by step.

First, he sneaked into Tayana Haney's yard at night.

Observing the environment in the house through the window, he saw three people dining in the living room. They were Tayana Hanni's parents and a six or seven-year-old girl. This little girl should be Tayana Han Ni's sister.

The three were talking and laughing, and the husband and wife were still drinking red wine. Luke didn't see any sad expression.

This made Luke even more puzzled. Tayana Hanny was indeed not at home, which meant that she might indeed be 'something', but her parents didn't look like they were worried at all.

Very contradictory.

Ever since he found out about Tayana Hanni's situation this afternoon, he has been feeling conflicted.

Since Tayana Hanny's parents are not worried at all, it means that Tayana Hanny is most likely not in danger, and Luke doesn't want to guess any more. He is going to go straight to see the reaction of the couple.

Luke called his men over, and Jenny knocked on the door, "Boom..."

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged white man stood at the door.

The middle-aged white man looked at Luke and the others, "Who are you?"

Luke flashed his police badge, "lapd, is this Tayana Haney's house?"

"Yes."

"What's the matter with you?"

"We want to find out about her. What is your relationship with her?"

"I am her father."

"What's the name?"

"Clement Hanny."

"Mr. Hanny, is your daughter Tayana Haney home?"

"Uh... Tayana went to a friend's house."

"Will she be back tonight?"

"No, she might spend the night at a friend's house."

"Tayana Hanni was kidnapped in June. She lives alone at a friend's house. Aren't you worried?"

"Uh...she's safe, there's no danger. You don't have to worry.

If there is nothing else, please go back. "

"Where is she? We want to talk to her."

"If it's because of her disappearance before, there's nothing to talk about, and bringing it up again will only make her feel uncomfortable.

I want her to forget about that and start a new life. "

Luke said, "Listen to you, something bad happened to Tayana Hanny during her disappearance, didn't she?"

"It's just that the child lost his temper and ran away from home. There is no major problem."

"We have found some new evidence. Tayana Hanni's disappearance is not simple. Something bad may have happened to her."

Clement Hanny shook her head, "It's over, I only care about her safety now.

She's fine now, and that's all that matters. "

"As far as I know, she called in sick today, where is she?" This wasn't the first time Luke asked, but Hanny kept avoiding the question.

Clement Hanny sighed, "My daughter is not in a very good mood. She went out with her friends to relax, and she won't be back until a few days later. You won't be able to see her for the time being."

Luke asked, "I need her friend's contact information."

Clement Hanny said, "Why? Even if you are the police, you can't break into my house at will.

We have already dismissed the case. We are Tayana Hanny's guardians and the ones who care about her the most. You don't need to meddle in your business here. "

Luke asked back, "Does your wife think the same way?"

Mrs. Hanny also came out, "Officer, my husband is right, my daughter is safe now, don't worry, please leave."

"We are here not only for your daughter's kidnapping case, but also for another case. I need to show you some evidence. Can you go in and talk?"

Clement Hanny hesitated, "Can I refuse?"

"If you don't assist, we can only use our own means to find Tayana Hanni and confirm her safety."

"OK, come in, I also want to know what evidence you have."

Luke took Jackson into the house, while Jenny and Xiao Hei stood guard outside.

After entering the room, the little girl went to the room on the second floor. Luke took out the tablet and played Tayana Hanny's pornographic video directly.

The attitude of this couple is very strange. If they don't give them some serious information, they probably won't tell the truth.

After Luke played the video, the faces of the couple became very ugly.

Clement Haney pointed at the video, "Is this my daughter?"

Luke didn't answer, he believed that Clement Hanny should know better than he knew.

Mrs. Hanny showed an unbelievable look, "God, how did this happen, why did my daughter take this kind of video.

I can not believe it!

That bastard actually did this to my daughter..."

Luke turned off the video, "That's why we came to Tayana Haney.

I ask again, where is she? "

Clement Haney asked, "When is this video?"

"You should ask Tayana Hanni about this, she is the one who knows best."

Mrs. Hanny choked up, "I always thought she was just missing for a few days, why did this happen...

My baby, she is still so young, why did this happen to her..."

Luke asked, "Haven't you guys seen this video before?"

Mrs. Hanny looked excited, "We don't know about this at all, Tayana never told us."

"Where is Tayana Haney now?"

"Since the last disappearance, my daughter has often been depressed, which is why I helped her ask for leave.

She wanted to go out for a walk, but my husband and I didn't have the time, so... our neighbor, Mr. Toure, took her there. "

"What's Mr. Toure's full name?"

"Franco Touré."

"Where did they go to relax?"

"field."

"How did you get there?"

"Mr. Toure has a caravan, and they're going there in the caravan."

Jackson frowned tightly, and interjected, "You are so relieved to let a man take your daughter away? You don't worry that she will be in danger."

Mrs Hanney said, "Mr Toure is a good man, he would not hurt Tayana, and this is not the first time.

Every time Tayana comes back there is no abnormality. She likes Mr. Toure very much and they get along very well. "

Luke asked, "What happened to Tayana Hanni's disappearance last time? Was she also taken away by Franco Touré?"

Mrs. Hanny replied, "No, Tayana ran away from home last time, and I mobilized all the people around me to search for her. It was Mr. Toure who found her and brought her back.

That's why we trust him so much. "

Luke asked back, "You regard Franco Touré as Tayana Hanny's savior?"

"That's right."

Luke was speechless, "How did Franco Touré find your daughter?"

Mrs. Hanni said, "Mr. Toure is a very easy-going person. My daughter has always liked him very much. She wandered outside for a few days and had no money, so she took the initiative to call Mr. Toure.

Then Mr. Toure took her back. "

Luke looked at Clement Hanny, "Mr. Hanny, do you think so too?"

Clement Hanny said, "Mr. Toure is indeed a nice person. He gets along very well with our family. He often helps us take care of Tayana."

Jackson was puzzled, "Don't you guys have any precautions?

Why would a middle-aged man be nice to a girl for no reason? "

Mrs. Hanney said, "Mr. Toure had a tragic experience when he was young. The doctor advised him to get in touch with children more. He has no children himself, so he treats Tayana so well."

Luke pressed, "What tragic experience?"

Mrs. Hanni said, "This is related to the privacy of Mr. Toure. It is not convenient for me to disclose it without his permission."

Luke felt that the brain circuits of the couple were really different, "This is also related to your daughter's safety!"

Mrs. Hanny hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Mr. Toure said that he was bullied by his aunt when he was a child, and the doctor suggested that he spend more time with the child, which can alleviate the pain of childhood.

Therefore, Mr. Toure liked children very much, so he proposed to be Tayana's surrogate father. "

"Surrogate father? Do you agree?"

"Yes."

Luke has also handled many cases, and this is the first time he has seen such irresponsible parents, "Do you trust him?"

"Yes."

"How do you know him?"

Mrs. Hanney said, "I met him at a church event three years ago, he was humble and personable, and we became friends.

Later, he moved to live in our community, and we became neighbors.

He often comes to our house as a guest and gets along very well with every family member. We have regarded him as a member of this family.

The relationship between him and us is not just an ordinary neighbor, but more like a family. "

"family?"

"Yes."

Luke took out the tablet again and clicked on the video, "Is the man in the video the Mr. Toure you mentioned?"

Mrs. Hanny looked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief, "No, Mr. Toure is forty years old, and he is definitely not the man in the video.

He is a good man and would never do such a thing. "

Luke took out a pen and paper and handed it over, "Write down Franco Touré's cell phone number?"

Mrs. Hanny wrote down a cell phone number.

Luke handed the phone number to Jackson, "Someone look up the phone number."

"Mrs. Hanny, did your daughter say when she will be back?"

"About two or three days."

"Mr. Hanny, madam, please do not contact Franco Touré during this time."

Mrs. Hanny asked, "Officer, are you still suspicious of Mr. Toure? Even if my daughter was forced to take a video, it might not necessarily be related to Mr. Toure?"

Luke didn't answer directly, "Madam, can we talk alone?"

"Can."

Afterwards, Luke took Mrs. Hanny out of the house and sat in the police car to talk.

"Madame, you were the first to know Franco Touré?"

"Yes."

"What is your relationship?"

"Friendship."

Luke doesn't believe in ordinary friendship, he can safely hand over his daughter to the other party.

Moreover, Luke asked Franco Touré's mobile phone number just now, and the other party directly wrote it out silently.

Unless it is someone very close, most people have a hard time remembering other people's mobile phone numbers.

"Mrs. Hanny, Franco Touré took your daughter out to play alone. You are alone and widowed, so you don't have to worry that he will do something to hurt your daughter."

"Mr. Toure is not this kind of person, and he was the one who found my daughter when she disappeared last time. I have no reason to doubt him."

"Then have you ever thought that the last time your daughter disappeared was also related to Franco Touré. Your daughter may not have been found by him, but was abducted by him."

"No, that's not what my daughter said. She didn't say that she was kidnapped by Mr. Toure, and she still trusts Mr. Toure."

Jackson couldn't stand it any longer, "Mrs. Hanny, you've always said good things for Mr. Toure, if you can't tell whether he's a good guy or a bad guy.

Let alone a twelve-year-old girl?

Perhaps she had also been mesmerized by Franco Touré's words. "

Mrs. Hanny covered her forehead, "God, why did this happen...

What happened to my poor daughter? "

Seeing that the other party's tone was loose, Luke struck while the iron was hot, "Mrs. Hanny, what is the relationship between you and Franco Touré?"

"We are friends."

Luke got straight to the point, "I don't believe a woman would be so relieved to entrust her daughter to the care of ordinary friends.

There is no one else here, nor is your husband present, and whatever you say, we will keep it a secret for you.

And what you say may be related to your daughter's safety. "

Mrs. Hanny was silent for a while, the expression on her face changed again, and she said, "Mr. Toure is my lover, he treats me very well and loves me very much, and he treats Tayana out of love.

He himself said that I am his favorite person, and my daughter is also his daughter.

That's why I handed Tayana over to him with such peace of mind.

He's a good guy to be trusted. "

Luke asked, "Does your husband know about your relationship?"

"have no idea."

"Does Tayana know about your relationship?"

"do not know either."

"Since Tayana disappeared last time, have you received any blackmail calls from the kidnappers?"

"No."

"Since Tayana came back, has anything changed?"

"She's become somewhat withdrawn and prefers to be alone. Nothing else has changed?"

"And her attitude toward Franco Touré?"

"I didn't feel any changes, and this time out to play was also proposed by my daughter.

Since the last time he disappeared, Mr. Toure has taken my daughter out to play more than once, and nothing happened. "

Luke said, "After seeing that video, are you still willing to believe in Franco Touré?"

"I... I don't know, my head is in a mess."

Luke warned, "Mrs. Hanny, for Tayana's safety, don't contact Franco Touré for now."

Mrs. Hanny pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I see."

"We will find Tayana as soon as possible to find out about the video.

If there is any news about Tayana, I hope you will contact me as soon as possible. "Luke handed the other party a business card.

"I will."

"If Franco Touré contacts you, don't say the police are investigating him."

"OK."

After a few more words of advice, Luke asked Mrs. Hanny to get out of the car.

At this time, all doubts were focused on Franco Touré. If he was a warm-hearted and good person who liked to take care of children, as the Hannis and his wife said, then Luke might have misunderstood him.

If Franco Touré was behind Tayana Hanni's disappearance, then he was probably a demon.

What we need to do now is to find Tayana Hanni as soon as possible, confirm her safety, and get more valuable clues from her.
