Chapter 902 Bloodstains
The van used for the kidnapping was found. In a hidden alley, the NYPD quickly sealed off the scene. When Jack and the others arrived, female forensic doctor Lanie Parrish and technicians from the CSI New York Laboratory were busy beside the van.
It was not a good sign for the forensic doctor to appear at the scene at this time. Brian could still be considered calm, but Cassel immediately exploded.
"Don't do anything to damage the scene." Jack led the two people across the blockade, took out rubber gloves and handed them to them and warned at the same time.
The side door of the van was open, and Lani was lowering her head to operate the test kit. The large pool of blood in the van was shocking.
"Oh God!" Cassel's legs went weak when he saw this scene. If Brian hadn't reacted quickly and supported his arm, he might have collapsed on the spot.
"Whose blood is that? Someone died in the car? Lanie!"
As Cassel asked with a cry in his voice, Jack, who was also feeling a little scared, opened the passenger door and looked into the driver's cab, carefully observing the situation inside.
"Casel, no body was found. Lanny and I have just arrived." Beckett arrived just one step ahead of them and was questioning passers-by. At this time, he heard Cassel's scream and came over to comfort him.
"The amount of bleeding was not fatal. Blood drops extended from the driver's seat to the cabin. It seemed that the driver was injured. Hashem had at least one shot on him."
Jack communicated with Brian in a low voice, and the latter nodded slightly, his expression visibly improving.
"Hey, Cassel, what's Alexis's blood type?" Seeing the great writer beside him burst into tears, Jack turned around and asked.
"A, type A."
After getting the answer, Jack looked at Brian again.
"Same."
"Give me a minute, I'll be fine soon." Lani, who was dripping ABO blood type standard diluent into the test hole, replied without raising her head.
Jack winked at Beckett, who took Cassel away from the van knowingly. Simply testing blood type is much faster than testing DNA. The whole operation process will take less than 5 minutes if you are proficient.
Seeing Lanie's expression when she raised her head, Jack already knew the answer. Only Cassel, who was confused and confused, still asked with tears in his eyes, "Does the blood type match?"
"Type B is not your daughter's blood." Lanny's words made Beckett visibly relieved.
"OK, don't get in the way here, let Lanni and the others do their own thing." Jack pulled Cassel and prepared to take him out of the blocked area.
"No, no, no, she might be around here, she must be around here." Cassel wiped his tears hard while looking around blankly.
"It's gone now." Brian, who was squatting at the front of the van, stood up and said, "The blood trail stopped here. They changed cars."
"It was a black Yukon." Beckett nodded. "Witnesses saw the car leave the place in a hurry shortly after the van entered the alley, and even knocked over a trash can on the roadside."
The Yukon is a full-size SUV from GMC. Because of its large interior space, it is often used as a nanny car for celebrities.
"Agent Tavole!" Sara's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmasri, also arrived at the scene. They were stopped outside the cordon and looked anxiously waving to Jack.
Jack nodded to the two police officers and motioned for them to enter, "What is your daughter's blood type?"
"Type O." Sarah's father answered tremblingly while holding back tears.
"Then she should be fine for the time being. The blood type found in the car is type B." Jack's words made the couple relieved.
The parents of the three girls stood together. Sarah's mother looked at Cassel, who was wiping tears from her eyes like herself, "Then there is still hope, right?"
Cassel smiled through tears and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right."
"I'm sorry for involving your daughter." Sarah's father said apologetically to Cassel and Brian.
Cassel just waved his hands as if he didn't want to say anything more, but Brian pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you really not know who did it?"
"I wish I knew too." Sarah's father replied through gritted teeth, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his pupils.
A big businessman who would be hostile to another force because of his friendship with politicians cannot be a kind person. Being regarded as an enemy by one force represents a kind of strength in itself.
"My family in Egypt is investigating, and any information will be reported to the FBI as soon as possible."
Brian nodded silently and turned his attention back to the van with the windshield full of bullet holes. For a person like him who was an action agent, this kind of thing was like holding a gun but not knowing who the enemy was. It was extremely uncomfortable to just look around blankly.
Stella Bonacilla is personally leading a group of technicians to collect evidence in and outside the car. Jack just introduced them to each other. Now she can only hope that forensic science can find some useful clues.

"Jack, Jack, watch this video."
Subconsciously making a defensive move to block Cassel's hand reaching for his shoulder, Jack stood up from the sofa.
Last night he and Brian slept on the couch at Cassel's house, and most of the wanted criminals team were here. Hannah and Clay went to the hotel where Brian's ex-wife and her current husband lived, as well as a group of FBI agents. Stay with Sarah's parents.
"What happened?" Jack straightened his coat and looked at the laptop that Cassel brought over. A video was playing on it. It was a personal Vlog of Alexis.
In the video, the little girl happily shared her new friend Kim, and mentioned that she would attend a speech on climate change with Sarah and her recent travel plans. She also thanked her enlightened father for helping her to ask for such a long leave from school.
"The kidnappers must have known their whereabouts through this video!" Cassel grabbed Jack's arm excitedly, his eyes bloodshot, "Let your people track the IP address that logged into Alexis' personal page after 2:36 pm the day before yesterday!"
"How do you think I know that Alexis had planned to accompany Kim on a travel trip for a whole week?" Jack yawned and took the coffee pot on the table to pour himself a cup.
"The IP address has been checked. Alice and her people followed various virtual jump servers around the earth three times, but they couldn't find the source."
What Jack didn't say was that he also contacted Justin directly, but so far he still got nothing. It's not that he couldn't find it, but that he didn't have enough time.
"Your condition won't help you find Alexis at all." Jack pursed his lips at Brian who was sleeping on another sofa, "He is also a father who is as worried as you."
"Actually, I can't sleep either, but I know that being like him will only make me make wrong judgments at critical moments because of brain confusion." Brian on the sofa opened his eyes and said lightly.
