Chapter 268 Lots of doubts
Also staying up all night with the old friends from the Wilshire Bureau were Hannah and Jie Jie. They needed to draft and review manuscripts to be sent to various news media, and try to get eye-catching pages or spots on TV news. Exposure.
Hannah may not be as professional as Jie Jie, but she has support from the outside. Zoe, who has just become a city councilor, uses a little resources to get the local media to take notice.
But it also made the two girls exhausted. When Jack walked into Jiejie's office with two thermos boxes, he saw two sleeping beauties lying on the table.
Seeing that there was no one around, a certain scumbag put the stewed red dates and white fungus soup on the table. After taking a sip of the incense, he gently closed the door and rushed to meet Rosie Reed.
The Vaughn family lives in a top community in the middle of the city. Keith Vaughn, who was notified in advance, was waiting at the porch early.
After obtaining his consent, Jack and Red went directly into the house and searched Lindsay's room.
During this period, Keith Vaughan remained silent, leaning against the door, coldly watching the two people busy. Next to him stood his so-called friend named Pat Mannan.
Rosie looked around the entire room and the few picture frames on the table, turned around and asked, "What happened to Lindsay's mother?"
"Does it matter?" Pat Mannan asked.
Rossi didn't look at him, his eyes still stayed on Keith Vaughan, "It has something to do with Lindsay."
"This is called "Criminal Psychology."" Rhett began his daily answer.
"This helps us understand Lindsay's character."
Keith Vaughan finally broke the silence, frowned, and uttered one word concisely, "How can I help?"
"Help us understand how she sees herself and how she interacts with others. The things in each of our rooms reveal something about our own inner character."
Keith Vaughn obviously didn't like this, and said indifferently, "She is no different from any 15-year-old child."
Rosie flatly denied his words, "No, she is different."
"What do you mean?" Keith Vaughn raised his eyebrows.
As someone who had spent more than a whole day visiting Zoe's house in detail, and who had lived with Hannah for half a year, Jay naturally pointed out the anomalies in the room.
"This doesn't look like a girl's room at all, let alone a 15-year-old adolescent girl."
"There are no celebrity posters on the walls, no photo walls, no travel photos, no magazines, no diaries, and not even a doll on the bed."
Jack shrugged as he said, "Do I need to go on? I could assume that she is withdrawn and afraid of interacting with people, but that doesn't make sense."
"No, she has friends, Katie," Keith Vaughan retorted.
"Is there more?" Rossi's words left him speechless.
At this time, Reid's cell phone suddenly rang, and he walked out of the room while answering the video call. The video seemed to be from Garcia.
Garcia seemed to have sent him some documents, and the two chatted quietly for a few words. Reid closed his phone and asked.
"Mr. Vaughan, can I use your computer?"
"In the study, please." Keith Vaughn replied nonchalantly.
Then Jack's cell phone also buzzed with a text message. He opened it and saw that it was from Red.
The above is Garcia's background check on the Vaughn family forwarded by Red. It looks very clean, so clean that it is suspicious.
Jack took two steps calmly, turned his back to the two people at the door, and winked at Rosie.
"OK, there's nothing worth paying attention to here." Rossi glanced around the room nonchalantly, walked out of the room unhurriedly, and stood in the center of the living room.
"Sorry, give me a moment." Within a few minutes, Rhett also came out of the study and stood next to Rosie.
Jack finally left the room, stood between the four, and turned to face Keith Vaughan and Pat Mannan.
The two looked at each other with somewhat inexplicable expressions, and finally Keith Vaughn asked.
"Are there any other questions? What else have you analyzed?"
Standing behind Jack, Rosie decided to show off and said directly: "This place doesn't look like home at all."
"Top security system, but the furniture seems to be rented, and the walls are all covered with cheap decorative paintings, not a single piece of real art."
"There isn't even a family photo on the bookshelf. A 15-year-old adolescent girl doesn't even have her own PAD or laptop."
Reid then said, "The computer in the study room is set to clear the history every day and uses a proxy server. Garcia can't even trace the network traces."
"And how do you explain this?"
With that said, Red turned the phone screen to the two of them and started playing the video.
This is a video diary that Garcia found on the computer of Katie Owen, the girl who was killed. The girl seemed to use it as a tree hole and talked a lot about Lindsay.
She also expressed that she disliked Lindsay's father, Keith Vaughn in front of everyone. In her words, this father controlled his daughter Lindsay very tightly and was very perverted.
Katie even thinks that Keith Vaughn’s possessiveness towards Lindsay is more like treating his wife than his daughter.
"What does this mean? The nonsense of an adolescent girl? Since you are all psychologists, you should know this kind of thing better than me, right?"
Keith Vaughan looked calm and was not moved at all by the accusations in the video.
"Keep watching." Rhett fast forwarded a short distance.
Katie also talked about many of the stories she learned from Lindsay, such as the fact that the father and daughter moved to Los Angeles six years ago and had been living in Maine before that.
Keith Vaughn and his three brothers jointly owned a fishing boat. Lindsay's mother was a housewife. However, tragedy occurred and the fish catch became less and less. The family was forced to sell the fishing boat, and her mother died. car accident.
"Does it sound familiar?" Rhett raised a finger proudly.
"I just happened to read this novel, "Dream of the Emerald Sea," in which the protagonist is named Lindsay. This is her life experience."
"What are you trying to say? Shouldn't you be focusing on finding Lindsay? This is just a joke between two little girls."
Before Keith Vaughan could speak, Pat Mannan took the initiative to explain for him.
Rosie's face became very gloomy and ugly.
"Remember the recording yesterday? Katie showed what an ordinary teenager should do when faced with death. She begged for life. Lindsay was just the opposite."
"What's the opposite?" Keith Vaughn became a little anxious and asked impatiently.
Rhett carefully poked his head out from behind Jack, "Lindsay's emotional reaction and what she said to Katie, these are strong hints."
"She has either been trained or has been abused."
