Chapter 271: Start looking for Anna

Anna already had a vague guess in her heart that Jose had split.

certainly. This split does not mean cell division, but schizophrenia. To put it simply, he has split his personality.

This may be because the blow Jose received was a bit big. Thinking of this, Anna's resentment towards him became smaller.

As for Gray, he called Anna several times during the meeting, but no one answered, and the phone was not turned off, so he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that she was too busy.

Little did he know that he had forgotten what Anna had told him in the afternoon, that someone seemed to be following him.

After the meeting was completely over, he tried to contact Anna again, but still couldn't get through. Now he finally realized that something was abnormal.

After calling Jason, he drove directly to the hardware store where Anna worked part-time and found that the fat boss was closing the store.

Through understanding with the fat boss, Gray knew that Anna was not in the store. She didn't even work the evening shift tonight, so she didn't know where she was.

The red Audi that Gray gave to Anna was placed in a nearby parking lot, indicating that Anna did come to work, but disappeared after get off work.

The fat boss was a little anxious now. Anna disappeared from his place, and he was also responsible.

Gray, Jason and the fat boss asked people in the surrounding shops, and they all said they had not noticed Anna's movements.

In the end, the three people discussed it and decided that the fat boss would call the police, while Gray and Jason would search according to their own ideas, a two-pronged approach.

Gray called Wang Xuanyuan and asked him to come over and help. After Wang Xuanyuan learned about the situation, he immediately called O'Connor and asked him to come too. After all, one more person means more strength.

After the four people met in a coffee shop, Gray took off his jacket and suit and took off his tie, looking worried.

Wang Xuanyuan persuaded and said: "Gray, please tell me the matter first, and then we will analyze it together."

Gray told how he met Anna and what happened in Anna's community a few days ago. In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart that this might have something to do with Jose.

Wang Xuanyuan touched his forehead and said: "Gray, this Jose is the most suspicious. So, let's go and investigate what he has been doing in the past few days. Let's go to his house first."

O'Connor also agreed, saying, "What did the police say? Is there any big news?"

Gray said: "In the evening, I asked the owner of Anna's hardware store to call the police. I just called my acquaintance at the police station and told him that he would pay special attention to the situation tomorrow."

O'Connor said: "Not tomorrow, it will be too late. A lot can happen in one night."

Gray said: "What should I do? If that doesn't work, I'll ask Jason to bring some money to the Sheriff and ask him to open a case for investigation now."

O'Connor said: "Gray, you have been in business here for such a long time and the company is so big. Don't you have strong connections in the Los Angeles Police Department?"

Gray said: "Despite the fact that my business is so big, I basically travel all over the United States and rarely take a break. It was only recently that I decided to relax."

After O'Connor listened to Gray's words, he took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to make a call first, and then we'll go to Jose's place to see where he lives. Does any of you know where he lives?"

Gray said: "I once hired a private detective to keep an eye on him for a few days. I will ask him more specifically now."

Ao Kangkang went outside to make a call. He didn't know who he was going to call, and he couldn't call them in front of them.

Jason contacted the private detective named Thornton. After hearing about the incident, Thornton took the initiative to ask if he needed his services. Of course, these services and help were not free.

Gray nodded. After Jason told him their current location, and Thornton told him Jose's address, they agreed to meet downstairs at Jose's house.

Gray once again called Anna's roommate Kate to ask if Anna had gone home. The result was still the same as the previous two calls. Anna had not come home yet. Kate was very anxious now and comforted Gray for a while. After promising that they would leave for Jose's house now, Kate became more stable.

After the phone call, O'Connor, Wang Xuanyuan, Gray and Jason got into two cars.

Since Wang Xuanyuan asked O'Connor to come over as soon as possible, O'Connor drove over in a modified Mitsubishi car, which was very fast. Wang Xuanyuan put his car in the parking lot of the coffee shop just now, got into the Mitsubishi, and Jason drove Red Porsche.

In less than half an hour, the four people arrived at the house that Jose rented. It was a white community with many people coming in and out. The community was brightly lit and there were many people but not cluttered.

After entering the community, Jason learned over the phone that private detective Thornton would need more than ten minutes to get here. The four of them got out of the car and parked the car outside the community. After all, a green and a red car were too conspicuous.

After a while, Thornton drove up in his black Jetta. He was still wearing the black coat and black old-fashioned hat. He got out of the car and joined the others.

Arriving at a residential building, Thornton said to Gray: "Sir, Jose lives on the fourth floor of the second unit of this building. The bedroom and kitchen doors are facing downstairs. I followed him last week. For three days, that kid either drank or went to bars, and he never had any sexual advances towards Miss Anna."

Gray said: "But Anna is missing now. We don't know where she is. She is not at home or in the store. She will not leave without saying goodbye. By the way, she said in the afternoon that someone was following her."

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Yes, we have asked everywhere we can find her, and Kate, her classmate at school, has also asked. No one has seen her or contacted her."

Gray said: "The only target we suspect now is Jose. Maybe he was really depressed a few days ago, maybe it was just an illusion."

O'Connor said: "Now that we are downstairs, let's go up and take a look. If the kid is at home, let's ask him first."

All five people agreed to go upstairs to take a look first, because there was an access card at the door, so they waited for a while before following others into the building.

After arriving on the fourth floor, everyone found that most of the people renting here were students, or that this was a single apartment. People who didn't want to live on campus could move out and rent alone or with others.

Five people came to the door of Jose's rented apartment. After ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one opened the door. A passing student told them that Jose hadn't been here for two or three days. He had been very sad a while ago. The look of giving up on oneself.
