[Comprehensive British and American] Wilderness Survival Journey

After everyone came out of Bill Gilbert's residence, Hochner ordered Morgan and Emily to investigate the bar that Anna mentioned.

It was already evening, the bar had just opened, and there were only a few staff members preparing for the opening.

Emily stopped a girl, showed her her ID, and said: "We want to ask you something, there is a man named Bill Gilbert here as a receptionist, you have seen him recently Do you know if he has any good friends?"

"Gilbert? I don't know him very well. We work in shifts here, and I can hardly meet him. If you want to ask, you can go to our foreman Ryan. He knows every employee here." The girl said impatiently.

Emily didn't care about her attitude, and asked, "Where is the foreman now?"

"He smokes in the locker room at the back." The girl pointed in the direction, then picked up the plate and walked away.

Emily and Morgan immediately went to the dressing room at the back, and sure enough, they found a man with a foreman's badge at the door.

Morgan directly took out his ID and showed it to him, and said, "Excuse me, are you Ryan, the foreman here? We want to know something about Bill Gilbert with you."

Ryan didn't expect that the fbi would come looking for him. He was a little surprised and put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray at hand, and said somewhat cautiously: "Bill hasn't come to work here for nearly 20 days, and I'm looking for him too. Him. You come to ask him for news, did he do something wrong? The kid borrowed me a sum of money and hasn't paid it back yet. I only borrowed it because he is honest. "

Honest?Moen glanced at Emily, and said, "Bill Gilbert is a habitual thief. He has been in prison many times for stealing. Don't you think he's unusual at all?"

"What?" Ryan was very surprised when he heard that, he scratched his face and said, "Bill is an excellent employee here, he has been working here for more than a year, and he has never done anything unclean .As far as I know, he is studying bartending and is going to open his own small bar after getting his bartender certificate. I never thought he would be a thief."

"Is there a difference between good and bad bartenders?" Emily asked a little strangely.

"Of course I have." Ryan glanced at her and said, "This is a treasury, where guests will spend a lot of money. If the hospitality is done well, they can earn a lot of tips, as little as a few hundred a night. US dollars, one or two thousand dollars a night is normal. Bill looks good and is very playful. He is here for both men and women, and his monthly income is quite a lot. Otherwise, who do you think would be willing to keep Be a bartender?"

Emily blinked. When she came in, she saw that the bar was not big. She thought it was really a simple bar, but she didn't expect it to be a cash vault.But it doesn't matter, she stroked her hair and asked, "Do you know who Bill was particularly close to before he disappeared?"

"I don't know about it. I'm busy every day, and the place is overcrowded at night. I don't have the energy to pay attention to some messy things. But you can ask Tom, he is our bartender, and Bill wants to get a bartender exam." I often ask him for his bartending certificate, he should be the person who knows Bill best here."

"Is this bartender here now?" Morgan asked immediately.

"He's going to work tonight, and it's not yet... oh, he's here." Ryan pointed to a handsome man who came in through the back door and said, "That's him."

Tom, who was stared at by the three, shrugged inexplicably, walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"We are the fbi, and we want to ask you about Bill Gilbert," Morgan said.

"He hasn't come to work for a long time, what do you want to ask?" Tom said, throwing down the backpack on his back.

"We want to ask who he was close to before he disappeared. Did anyone come to him frequently during that time?" Emily asked.

Tom squinted his eyes and thought about it, and said while changing his clothes: "There is such a person, about half a month before Bill disappeared, who suddenly appeared in the bar. He was also unusually silent, so I was quite impressed with him."

"Do you remember that person's name?" Morgan asked immediately upon hearing this.

"Well... His name is Noah, I heard Bill call him that, but I don't know what his last name is." Tom said.

"Thank you, can you spare some time to help us draw a portrait?" Morgan asked.

"The bar is about to open in 10 minutes, so I guess I don't have time to help you guys. But I've heard them talk about an underground casino, and the guy named Noah used to leave saying I'm going back to the casino, so I thought You can go directly to that casino to find someone, ordinary gamblers will not change venues casually. By the way, Bill went to the bar the night before he disappeared, and the two of them left together," Tom said.

After hearing this, the two thanked Tom, and then went to the underground casino again.

On the way, Emily said to Morgan puzzled: "Even if there is only a tip of one or two hundred dollars a night, plus the salary Bill can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, plus the money he stole a few times before, Personal assets should not be too small, at least part of the medical expenses can be paid, why would he take the risk and find an unfamiliar companion to steal together?"

"Haven't you paid attention to Anna's house? It looks like it should have been renovated last year. Many of the furniture and furnishings are new, and she must have never worked since she was pregnant. Plus Bill's hospitalization expenses, plus It sounds like a lot of money. Bill is just a bartender, his salary is not high on the surface, and the house is in Anna's name. They can't use the normal loan channels. It is estimated that Bill's income will be used for payment, so he No money to pay for my son's medical bills," Morgan said.

"These cases always make me feel bad, he could have a good family." Emily said.

The underground casino was only a few streets away from the bar where Bill worked. Morgan and Emily arrived there quickly, but it was not so easy to get in this time. Usually, this kind of place is not accessible to everyone. If there are no old customers to bring, newcomers will basically be stopped outside.But the fbi certificates are still very useful, they were quickly put in, and they also saw the person in charge here, the big man looked at them and said a little unkindly: "The two policemen came here, it really made me feel radiant, I don't know how I can help you?"

"We're not here to make trouble, just to ask you about someone. Do you have a regular customer named Noah here, with blond hair and blue eyes, very handsome." Morgan asked.

The person in charge was the guy who agreed to Noah's conditions last time. He raised his eyebrows and asked when he heard Morgan's words: "Why are you looking for him? That's a good boy, he doesn't seem like someone who will mess with the FBI. "

After hearing what the other party said, Morgan and Emily knew that they had found the right place. They heard the inquiring meaning in this guy's words, and said, "One of our suspects has disappeared. According to the news, he and Noah are the same Good friend, so I want to ask him, I hope he can give us some clues."

The big guy sneered and said, "I didn't expect that guy to have good friends. But he's not here now. I can give you his address, but the condition is that you don't bother my business again."

"Of course, gambling is not under our jurisdiction." Morgan nodded and asked again: "So have you seen him recently, just in the past 20 days?"

"Maybe, who has time to pay attention to the comings and goings of such a small person." The big man shrugged and said.

After leaving the casino, Morgan told Hotchner the news, and Hotchner called the police again and came outside Noah's house.Then the police officers in bulletproof vests surrounded the house with guns raised, and the bau members led by Morgan to the gate.

Several people made eye contact, and then Morgan walked to the door and knocked: "FBI, open the door quickly! Noah Sievers, if you are inside, come out quickly! Noah Sievers, open the door quickly!"

Morgan yelled twice, but there was no movement in the house, so he kicked open the door and walked in with a gun.

The goal of entering is a messy living room. There is only a broken sofa and a crooked broken coffee table in the living room. The ground is full of food packaging bags. The number is too large for people to leave. It is simply a garbage dump.

Morgan frowned and quickly checked the entire house with several team members. No one was found in the house, and from some signs in the house, it could be known that no one lived here for a long time.In addition, except for the garbage in the living room downstairs, the whole house is empty, only a few pieces of broken furniture, and even the kitchen is empty.

"It's really clean, he seems to have disposed of all valuable things." Rossi said as he put down his gun.

"It's unreasonable to bother to dispose of old things when you already have millions of dollars worth of jewelry." Hotchner said coming down the stairs.

Morgan followed and walked down. He kicked open a potato chip bag and said, "It's strange that so many garbage bags here are supermarket food, but there are no takeaway packaging and drink bottles."

"And these are all high-sugar and high-calorie foods. One person can't consume so much. There are hundreds of bags here. Could it be that they were eaten with Bill Gilbert?" Emily looked at the large amount of food on the ground. Chocolate wrappers and cookie bags said.

"It's very possible, but where are they going now? Noah Sievers has no transportation. If he comes back here after losing his car and disposes of Bill, then the body is likely to be around here." Rossi said.

"You mean this is probably the scene of the crime?" Emily turned her head and asked.

"Bill Gilbert was born in a single family. Such a person either hates forming a family very much, or is extremely obsessed with wanting a home. Bill is obviously the latter. You said they renovated the house, and he also started learning to mix and prepare to open a bar. , it can be seen that he has been working hard to have a stable home, and he can't run away with money in this situation, so he will definitely want to go home after stealing. But before that, he needs to be with another Partners share the spoils, if the other party is indeed Noah Sievers, this house is likely to be the place where they share the spoils, so it is impossible for them to take out a bag of jewelry outside." Rossi said.

"Call the forensic doctor over here immediately." Hotchner said to the New York Police Department detective beside him.

Noah had already eliminated all traces with his abilities, so the forensics naturally couldn't find any clues in the house, but they were not without gains. They found a shoe size smaller than Noah's on the lawn outside the house. It is very likely that Bill left behind his footprints.

"Now we just need to find Noah Sievers, but where is he?" Emily sighed looking at the empty house behind her.

"Maybe we can go to the black market. Don't forget, he is a gambler. Gamblers usually can't control their gambling addiction. If he wants to go to the gambling table, he might dispose of one or two pieces of jewelry." Rossi Said.
