It’s about four o’clock in the afternoon.

The door to the captain's office was knocked open again.

Anthony walked into the office.

Luke stood up and greeted, "You came just in time, I was just trying to contact you."

Anthony pulled up the chair and sat down, "OK, tell me what you're unhappy about and make me happy."

Luke said, "This morning the police notified Sophia's stepmother and nanny to come and identify her, but they all felt that Sophia was not the victim of the kidnapping ten years ago."

"e on, the DNA test has been confirmed, what's the use if the stepmother doesn't recognize it?

I think your police force is a bit redundant."

Luke explained, "Sophia was the victim of a kidnapping ten years ago, and the police have now found her. Notifying family members is a necessary procedure. Her father has passed away, and we can only notify her stepmother."

"Then there's nothing to hesitate about. DNA testing is much more reliable than stepmother's words."

"You are right, determining Sophia's identity is based on DNA testing and does not require the stepmother's approval.

However, as a family member, she has the right to raise questions, and the police cannot silence her and prevent her from speaking.

What the police now want to find out is whether her doubts were motivated by her true intentions or based on interests."

Anthony asked, "Then why did you call the nanny again?"

"This nanny took care of Sophia when she was very young. They have a close relationship, which helps her recall the details of the kidnapping of Eucalyptus ten years ago."

Anthony took out a cigarette and lit it, "I came to see you because I wanted to ask about the progress of the investigation into the kidnapping of Eucalyptus ten years ago."

Luke asked, "Have you found out the connection between the FBI mole and the kidnapping of Eucalyptus ten years ago?"

Anthony put the lighter into his pocket, "There is indeed such a guy who makes me feel a little suspicious."

"Can you tell me something?"

"Of course, you are also from our FBI. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have called you."

Luke smiled. It was taboo to investigate a mole. Perhaps it was because of Luke's aloof status that Anthony was more willing to communicate with him.

Anthony said slowly, "That guy's name is Craigie Hoskin. He is the team leader of the Information Resources Department of the FBI's Los Angeles office. His main job is to integrate information data. All files handled by the FBI will be archived on the computer.

He has worked in this department for more than ten years, from an ordinary employee to a team leader, and he knows the entire department well.

The reason why I am suspicious is that he is the only person who has used his authority to look up the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr., the kidnapping of Yinsha Redman and the kidnapping of ten years ago."

Luke said, "I have been investigating Yinsha Redman's kidnapping. Why was it stored in the FBI's computer file?"

Anthony smiled and said, "Ever since I suspected that there was a mole in the FBI, I have been thinking about how to catch the mole. I first excluded the field staff and guessed that there might be a problem with the internal staff.

Therefore, I announced within the department that I would jointly investigate Yinsha Redman's kidnapping with you. This morning, we appeared on the news together, and everyone knew that we were very close.

I want the mole to think that I got the information about Yinsha Redman's kidnapping through your relationship.

If he is related to the kidnappers, he will definitely care about the situation and check the information.

So, I asked my subordinates to follow the procedures to transfer the kidnapping information to the FBI database, and he checked the information at noon today."

Luke asked, "Isn't his job the integration of information? Could it be that he was checking it for work reasons?"

Anthony smiled, "You think they are too diligent. Generally speaking, if the file is not completed, they will not upload the file information and data to the database.

There are no results in the two kidnapping cases. It is completely unnecessary and not in accordance with the procedures to check now."

Anthony put out his cigarette and continued, "Besides, I also found out something.

Half a year ago, the network of the Information Resources Department was attacked by hackers. The entire Information Resources Department cut off its connection with the main network and conducted regional anti-virus.

A lot of data was lost at that time.

At that time, he was the person directly responsible, which also increased my suspicion of him."

Luke asked, "What was his motive?"

"After finding the above two doubts, I sent someone to investigate his financial situation. This guy's credit card was maxed out and he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

What's even more sad is that his ex-wife divorced him four months ago." Anthony sighed, "It's entirely possible for this guy to take risks and do some irrational things. I've seen too many similar people."

Luke asked curiously, "Why did his ex-wife divorce?"

Anthony shrugged, "That's what I want to know too."

"Since his ex-wife chose to divorce, it means that his ex-wife should know something. I think I should talk to his ex-wife."

Anthony nodded, "Good idea, do you have time? Let's talk to his ex-wife together."

"Why are you looking for me?"

Anthony opened his mouth and said, "Because you know about these three kidnappings, you are the most suitable candidate."

"Your reason won't convince me."

"OK, I don't know how to face his ex-wife. Should I tell her that I am the FBI and I am here to investigate your ex-husband.

His ex-wife replied, My ex-husband is also an FBI agent.

e on, this is embarrassing.

His ex-wife won't trust me either.

But you are different, you can use your identity as a police officer to talk to his ex-wife."

Luke smiled, "I don't think it's a good idea to let a police officer investigate the FBI. It might cause conflicts between the two departments."

"You are right, it is taboo to ask outsiders to investigate one's own people.

So this matter can only be handled by you. You are both from the FBI and from the LAPD, so you can use whichever identity is appropriate."

Luke smiled and said, "So, this is why you came to me, to ask me to go with you to meet the mole's ex-wife?"

"Luke, there is no one more suitable than you."

Walding Community.

Luke and Anthony drove into the community. The car turned right and slowly stopped in front of a white house with a beautifully maintained green lawn.

After the two got off the car, they walked to the door of the room one after another. Anthony pressed the doorbell, but no one responded.

Anthony glanced at his watch and said, "I think she might not have gotten off work yet. We'd better wait."

Luke walked to the window and looked inside the house, "What does she do?"

"The nurse at the hospital. I think even if we find the hospital, she won't have time to talk to us."

Luke suggested, "Why don't we go have dinner first."

Anthony asked, "Are you treating me?"

"You miser, you asked me for help, so of course it's your treat."

The two went to a nearby steakhouse.

Luke ordered a steak, French fries, and seafood risotto.

Anthony asked, "Did you eat that much?"

Luke looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, give me another vegetable salad."

Anthony “…”

After eating, the two returned to the Walding community again.

This time, there was a red Honda car parked in the yard. Someone must have gone home.

The two got out of the car, walked to the door of the room, and pressed the doorbell.

A moment later, a white woman appeared in the video doorbell video, "This is Britney Winter's house, what do you want?"

Luke said, "Hello, Ms. Winter.

lapd, can you open the door and chat?”

Britney Winter frowned slightly, "I didn't call the police."

"I know, we have something and we want to talk to you."

"What's up?"

"If possible, I hope you can open the door and face-to-face communication will be better."

After a while, the door opened, and Britney Winter stared at Luke, "I've seen you on the news, come in."

"My pleasure." Luke glanced at Anthony next to him.

Anthony curled his lips and seemed a little unconvinced. I also go on TV often, okay?

There are not many furnitures in the living room, and they are kept neatly.

Britney Winter made an inviting gesture toward the sofa, "Want something to drink?"

"Thank you, no need. We just want to talk to you."
