Chapter 91 – Spotting 5. That Girl

The off-road vehicle drove in from the corner of the street and slowly stopped behind a police car on the side of the road.

Dai Bowen and Shen Xiuyuan got out of the car from both sides of the back seat respectively, and Erwin in the co-pilot got out of the car at the same time.

Clark was standing on the walkway where the police car was parked. Some fences had been erected along the walkway, and then it turned around somewhere to enclose a small piece of land.She came over and greeted Dai Bowen and Shen Xiuyuan, and Dai Bowen introduced the young man to the female police officer: "Erwin, the assistant you asked earlier."

"I've read the assistant's information." The female police officer nodded, and glanced at Erwin's suitcase, "but I haven't seen any introduction about this suitcase."

"Clang!" Erwin made a funny sound with his mouth, and unbuttoned the box on his left arm, "High-tech products expo!"

Officer Clark gave him a veiled look, then ignored him and said directly to Dai Bowen and Shen Xiuyuan: "We checked Matthew's call records, and the records showed that he had frequent contacts with a phone number recently, and the owner of the phone was registered as Natalie. Dominguez. We found this Dominguez, and she said it was her daughter Katrin's phone."

"Dominguez", the common name of the LT ethnic group.Dai Bowen looked at the house without Christmas decorations on the other side of the fence: "Then, where is Matthew's little girlfriend?"

"That's why I asked you to come here." The female police officer led the crowd and opened the gate on the fence. "Katelyn hasn't come home for more than 48 hours."

"Wow..." Erwin followed behind with a suitcase, "An underage girl has disappeared, and there isn't even a missing person notice around here."

Dai Bowen asked, "Her mother didn't report the crime?"

"No." Clark replied, "She said that Katrin has been sleeping outside more than at home recently, and she can't control her daughter."

"My aunt can't control her nephew, and my mother can't control her daughter. What a young and restless world..." Dai Bowen said, "But at any rate, my aunt still knows how to ask her classmates, call the police, and notify her benefactor."

Hearing this, Clark stopped in front of the door and looked back at them: "This reminds me that Mr. Shen may not be suitable to go in."

Although Matthew and Katrin are in contact, for now, these are still two separate events.Shen Xiuyuan, as a relative of Matthew, was okay at the scene related to Matthew, but it was not appropriate to enter other scenes.

"Okay, I'll quit for now." Shen Xiuyuan shrugged and took two steps back, "I'll wait for you in the car."

Dai Bowen looked away from Shen Xiuyuan's back, turned around and said, "So...we are suitable to go in?"

Clark glanced at him and rang the doorbell: "It's just because you guys performed well before."

"what is that?"

The brown-skinned, brunette woman sitting on the sofa glanced at the person sitting opposite, then pointed to Erwin who was fiddling with the machine next to him.

"A machine that helps you know where your daughter is." Erwin adjusted the camera, pressed the video button, and nodded to Dai Bowen.

"Then, Ma'am, let's start." Dai Bowen spread out his notebook and twirled the pen in his hand, "Please recall the last day you saw Katlin."

Natalie Dominguez, I'm afraid she couldn't have given more information than Meera.She has a beautiful face and a well-proportioned figure. The years have left a charm on her body, and life has made her dusty.She earns a living as a stripper and sometimes takes part-time jobs.Under the premise that she is often hungover and stays up all night, she can hardly remember when she saw her daughter for the last time.But what was certain was that she had gone home to bed yesterday and had not seen Katrin before or after she went to bed.

"Have you called her?"

"I called, I called when I woke up yesterday." Natalie replied, "She didn't answer, so I went to work in the bar. The environment in the bar was too noisy. I didn't realize she called back when I got off work early this morning. Give me a call. But I called again and it was off."

Erwin said: "The underage daughter who hasn't returned home called you late at night, and when you called back, she turned off the phone... You didn't call the police at this point?"

"Hmm..." Natalie pursed her lips and shrugged, "A child of a stripper must learn to take care of herself."

Officer Clark stared at her: "She's underage!"

"Come on!" Natalie glanced at her, "Do you think I don't know how you treat girls of LT descent? One of them disappears every now and then on Bar Street. Has anyone looked for them?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Dai Bowen and Erwin: "Even if you are concerned about where Katlin is now, it is because you suspect that she is related to the disappearance of another boy."

"Excuse me, ma'am." Dai Bowen was unmoved by Natalie's sudden accusation, and just interrupted her, "Are you afraid?"

Natalie frowned: "What?"

"Why are you afraid when we talk about calling the police?" Dai Bowen glanced at the other person's chest, shoulders, neck and face, his voice was low and soothing, with hints of dark temptation, "Did Katlin mess with her?" What's the trouble?"

"No, I don't know." Natalie replied quickly, running her fingers through her hair, "but Katrin is a smart girl, she knows how to avoid disadvantages."

Dai Bowen stared at her: "Excuse me... May I ask where is Catherine's father?"

Natalie froze.

This kind of private question is always embarrassing, so Officer Clark, who is also a woman, said: "Please don't worry, we just want to make sure that Katrin was taken away by an acquaintance... After all, her mobile phone was not turned off until early this morning. "

"I haven't seen Katrin's father for a long time." Natalie glanced at him, then lowered her eyes, "We've only been together for a few months, and he probably doesn't even know Katrin's existence."

Dai Bowen asked, "Does Katrin know who her father is?"

Natalie replied: "No, I didn't tell her."

"Then how can we know?"

Natalie looked at him and swallowed quietly: "No, I don't want to talk about this."

"So, ma'am..." Dai Bowen wrote a few words in his notebook, then looked up at her, "Let's talk about Katlin's cell phone, shall we?"

"A woman who tells a lot of lies."

The video stopped at the last second of the video. Erwin sat on the carpet with his back against the sofa, pointed at the TV with the remote control, and turned to Dai Bowen who was sitting on the sofa: "Didn't she listen to Officer Clark's introduction to us? What are you doing?"

"She didn't care about this at all. Or, she didn't care at first, but she didn't have time to care about it later." Dai Bowen said, "Did you see her reaction when I mentioned whether Katrin was causing trouble? "

"Of course, and when you mentioned Katrin's father." Erwin rewound the video and played it again from the middle.

Outside the screen, Dai Bowen's voice came: "Did Katrin get into some trouble?"

Natalie in the picture quickly replied: "No..."

"Here." Erwin paused the playback, pointed to the screen and said, "Answer without thinking, there is no sign of recollection, lying. Fingers brush hair behind ears, cover up behavior, lying."

"I asked 'Did Katrin get into trouble'..." Dai Bowen stroked his chin with his index finger, "It seems that Natalie thinks the answer is 'yes'."

"And here..." Erwin moved the picture forward, "When she talked about Katrin's father, she averted her eyes and looked down. It's a shame."

"If she was a conservative religious person, she would probably be ashamed of having children out of wedlock, but she is a stripper." Dai Bowen looked at the screen and said, "What do you think? What is she ashamed of?"

"I don't know." Erwin shook his head, "But when she denied meeting Katrin's father, she used a very formal and emphatic tone. Maybe she was lying...or afraid?"

Dai Bowen replied: "Speaking of fear, the latter action is more obvious."

So the video continued to play on the big screen. When Natalie expressed her reluctance to talk about Katrin's father, Erwin froze the picture again: "Do you mean this, the swallowing movement?"

"Enlarge her eyes."

Erwin did as he said, and Natalie's image was clearly displayed on the big screen after zooming in several times.

"The pupils are dilated," Erwin said, "and the swallowing movement... God, Katrin's father is not Voldemort?"

"This may explain why she was ashamed before." Dai Bowen said, "It's probably because of my guess that 'an acquaintance took Katrin away' was automatically translated in her mind into 'Katlin's father took Katrin away. Daughter', she's ashamed that this happened."

"So, what does this mean?" Shen Xiuyuan asked, and came out of the open kitchen with three cups of coffee.Since they — plus Erwin — returned to their temporary serviced apartment, the two psychologists have been poring over the video non-stop.Only Shen Xiuyuan had nothing to do for the time being, so he had to make coffee himself.

"It means that Natalie probably met Katrin's father recently, and thinks that the father and daughter may recognize each other." Dai Bowen took a sip of coffee, turned to look at the man sitting beside him, and rewarded each other A kiss on the chin, "Katelyn's father is probably not a good person. Rather than saying that Natalie is afraid that this man will abduct her daughter, it is better to say that Natalie is worried that her daughter has already sided with her father."

"Missing minors, LT descendants, stripper mothers, frightening and unspeakable fathers..." Erwin picked up a cup of coffee and sniffed it, "You know what I thought? - Gangster Movie .”

"Violence..." Dai Bowen sat up straight suddenly, and patted Erwin on the shoulder, "After drinking coffee, check Matthew's computer to see if there is any 'cool' information about this."

Erwin nodded: "No problem."

Shen Xiuyuan took out his mobile phone: "I'll call the police, and then I'll find a private detective, and ask them to find a way to find out who Katlin's father is."

"Very correct job choice." Dai Bowen nodded, drinking coffee faster, "I'm going out soon, too."

Erwin asked, "Where are you going? Don't you need me?"

"I don't need it for now, you should check what's in Matthew's computer." Dai Bowen replied, "And I, there are three little boys who want to learn."
