[Comprehensive] Uncle Ba's food paradise

Chapter 55 Hunters in the City

But it's a pity that unlike the boss of a news agency with flexible schedules, Reid, who is the FBI, is very busy.Another problem is that the FBI and the local police belong to different systems. In theory, they cannot interfere with the law enforcement of local agencies without the other party's application for help and the approval of their superiors.

Rhett can also ask for a leave of absence and come here specially to conduct investigations in his personal capacity.But doing so is unrealistic. First, he is equivalent to giving up all the resources he can use, and coming alone, the investigation strength he has done is probably no different from that of Clark.Second, judging from the current situation, this is really just a missing girl case, and they have a serial killer on their hands who are chasing.It is neither emotional nor reasonable for Rhett to give up catching a serial killer who may cause new killings, but to come to this city to find a girl who may just run away from home.

So all he can provide is remote support, and Clark himself is the one who actually investigates. The FBI has a set of theories about the observation and analysis of the scene. Under normal circumstances, the details will be lost through remote operations by laymen. Therefore, what Reid can do is to provide Clark with several FBI internal training materials and books, and let Clark read them at an amazing speed, and then Came to the scene to sort out the details he observed and send them to himself.

To put it simply, in order to find the missing little girl, Reid quickly trained Clark to be an FBI agent at the practice level.This is difficult for ordinary people to operate, but it is nothing for a super human with super fast speed, amazing eyesight, and a very agile brain.For him, learning these is equivalent to the degree to which you can quickly learn to use a vacuum cleaner with the instruction manual.

After searching, the answers he got were not optimistic.Even though there were no traces of outsiders breaking in, and a lot of things were taken away from the house, some essential personal items that the little girl used herself were not taken away.This proves that when she left, she actually wanted to come back.

The surveillance video of the nearby roads did not find her figure, which is exactly the problem, because it is actually quite difficult to completely avoid these surveillance videos.

From this information, it is difficult to determine whether she has encountered danger. It is very likely that she wanted to go somewhere secretly and did so because she did not want to be tracked down.But so far she has not come back to prove it. There is obviously a problem with the destination she went to.

Even so, even the FBI cannot just use GPS to locate a person without exceeding the legal time limit for filing a case after a disappearance, because it is illegal.Unless they have more obvious evidence that the girl was in danger.

This time reflects the benefits of having a hacker friend.Garcia helped secretly check the GPS signal, and based on this location they found a pawn shop.It turned out to be a cell phone that was pawned by a kid who was in turn a thief and supposedly stole it from a lady.All he could find was the place where the girl's cell phone was finally stolen, and he didn't get any more clues there.

So Clark's search was stuck here. During this period, he also responded to Superman's call many times. By the way, he also had to deal with some matters of the news agency. incredible.

But this is not the answer Alice wants to see.The lost mobile phone can only prove that her friend's situation is more urgent, and there is no way to ask for help if she is in trouble.

But she couldn't blame Clark, everyone had a life and other things to do.Clark has really tried his best, and he also needs to save those who are in crisis and call him.Although everyone told her not to be impatient and wait for new clues to come out, Alice was not going to wait any longer.

She has known her friend Shelley from the beginning, just as she has in the past.If she doesn't look for it, then no one will look for Shelley anymore.

When she took that warm hand and left the muddy ruins, she didn't regret it.She got everything a happy girl gets and an abundance of love.However, just a little bit, she always felt faintly lonely and sad.Her only connection with the world is her grandfather. She who disappeared in her former life is like dew that slides from a leaf, gently falling and sinking into the soil without leaving any traces or waves.

It is actually quite a terrible thing that no one came to look for me, as if I hadn't really been alive for so long, and I didn't leave a trace in anyone's heart at all.

So she ran to the place where her friend disappeared, where she asked people passing by if they had seen her every day?Many people pretended not to hear her and walked away quickly, while some shook their heads lightly and stopped looking at her.There are also people whispering in the distance, laughing from time to time, maybe a little girl looking for a girl of the same age, looks very stupid.Some people were worried that there was something wrong with the girl and wanted to call the police to inquire.

When those teenagers who were bored, not ready to help, but ready to make trouble came over to strike up a conversation, Alice's teacher happened to see them, and came to blow these people away and severely criticized her.

"I know you are worried about your friend, but you can't affect your own life because of this. Maybe she is fine? If you want to find her, it is not enough to rely on your strength, you have to rely on adults. The police will Find her, and the school will deal with it."

Alice sniffled aggrievedly, but the next day she stood there and asked passers-by. On the third day, she printed a pamphlet and contact information and posted it everywhere, hoping to get news.

Later, she met Loki. After hearing about it, Loki said that he would help with the investigation, and also helped her distribute pamphlets for a day.

Alice did not forget her live broadcast of the food festival. During the show, she also took out photos to seek help from netizens.

Clark wanted to persuade her to leave everything to himself, but was stopped by Hannibal.

"Telling her to do something, waiting at home will only make her anxious."

Clark could only continue to search, but Hannibal knew that the little girl might not come back.

Think about it, let the FBI, Superman, and the missing persons who can't be found by the gods from extraterrestrials, can it really be said to be missing?

This is not surprising, single girls without other relatives are the best prey.In this city where there are only people left, since there are no external natural enemies, it has naturally evolved into a new ecological circle.

Hannibal believed that hunting was a human instinct.Leaving aside his own psychological problems, in a city with a high population density and lack of an environment to express survival instincts, it is easy to generate aggressive behaviors towards the same kind.Hunting is an instinct, an indelible part of biological evolution, and an instinct for survival. Humans should not feel cruel or ashamed of this, it is a part of life.

only……

...Although he thinks that other hunters should not be blamed, but he likes to hunt these wild creatures who indulge themselves.

Now that the instinct is recognized, it is admitted that it is the necessity of survival, since the action is for hunting and obeys the law of the jungle-then there should be no complaints about being the hunted party.

You cannot destroy order and be protected by order at the same time.Since another law is obeyed, it is impossible to escape the good and bad effects of this law.

Hannibal looked at his pocket watch, tick, tick, he liked to listen to the beating sound of the hands of this kind of mechanical watch, it made him feel relaxed and happy.He stuffed his pocket watch into his pocket and straightened his neckline, just like any time he went out for work or for an appointment.He paused before reaching out to unscrew it, then walked back into the house and left a note.

[There's pie in the fridge, I won't be back for dinner tonight, so don't wait for me. ——H.]

After sticking the note on the refrigerator, he walked back to the door again, unscrewed the door, walked out, and closed the door.

Hannibal came to the road where the girl disappeared. It was getting late and Alice had already gone home.He cleverly staggered away from her, and the two did not meet each other.Maybe Clark noticed it, but he didn't say anything, he just escorted Alice home as if he had agreed in advance.

Hannibal stood in a corner where the surveillance cameras couldn't see, and looked around from the location where the girl's cell phone was stolen.In fact, he has no more information, or even less.But he has quite a lot of experience. Before he was exposed in the original world, he often handled cases with the FBI on the spot.This allows him to have quite strong detection and anti-reconnaissance capabilities, which has caused headaches for the FBI in the world.

Walking from the girl's house to here, avoiding surveillance cameras for such a long distance?No, this is not realistic, she is not a professional, and there are cameras in several places on this street, knowing all the blind spots requires special investigation and research, Alice's classmate is just an ordinary child, not a hacker or a thief.

Yes, thief, only a thief knows where the dead ends of this city are.

Hannibal found the child who had pawned the mobile phone, and it was no accident that he found something that belonged to the girl in the nest built by street vagrants in the sewer next to the bus station.All the items in the boy's den, plus the cell phone he had pawned before, were taken directly from the girl's house, and he lied.

The clear evidence made the child undeniable, and he had to admit that he actually saw a group of guys wearing gray cloaks with their heads covered by cloak hats taking the girl away in the evening.He picked up the girl's wallet and found the girl's residence according to the address on the above certificate (age card).Originally, he wanted to inform the girl's family, but when he found that there was a key in the wallet and there was no one in her house, he couldn't help but change his mind.

The boy figured she'd been taken away anyway, wouldn't be coming back, and if stealing something that looked like she'd run away from home wouldn't raise suspicion, he did.He knew that doing so would give the illusion that the girl had left him, but so what?He can sleep in a warm quilt at night and eat soft bread. What is the life and death of these unknown girls to him?

"Besides, who can I tell? The police? Then I will be regarded as a suspect, and I will be blamed on my head if I can't find her in the end." The boy quibbled, "And the way she was taken away It's very strange, unless you really want to find her family, you can take it seriously, anyone else, anyone who hears it will think I'm lying, which can't be explained at all."

"Tryme."

Hannibal said.Unbelievable or not, any intelligence can be a clue.Think about it, this world even has gods and aliens in European mythology, so what else is there to struggle with?

The boy eventually told him that the girl had been taken to the church by the cloaked monsters.

"The scary thing is that they went in right in front of my eyes. I saw them go in with my own eyes, but when I passed, the church was empty and there was nothing. It was like she was captured by a ghost. In this case, everyone I won't believe it!"

A ghost that no one can detect without being seen by the surveillance video?

Hannibal remembered that someone had recently shown him a similar... yes, illusion.

He looked not far away, at the church in the dusk.

In this city, there are other 'mages' operating in the shadows.
