Chapter 158 The Old Reference Room, Coincidentally

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, he was slightly taken aback, and Officer Barton was in a daze.

For so many years, this was the first time that Mrs. Enid had offered to meet.

In the past, Officer Barton had invited him, but Mrs. Enid never agreed.

"Okay, old place."

Without hesitation, the old police officer Barton's heart was burning for no reason.

After hanging up the phone, he stared blankly for a while, and then recorded all the three addresses mentioned by old lady Enid just now with a smile, and put them in the file.

…………

Building No. [-], Floor [-].

"It should be here."

After investigating the computer database, no information about the hut in the forest was found. Officer Dirk took Lorraine to the paper archives on the sixth floor of Building [-].

No one has been here for a long time, and there is a thin layer of dust on the doorknob of the paper archives—opening the door, Officer Dirk went straight to the bookcase where the paper archives were stored, but Lorraine's eyes involuntarily glanced at the bookcase where the paper archives were placed. Cat litter in the corner.

It is made of two Captain America's shields, which Lorraine bought for Ron on the second day of reporting to the Orange County Police Headquarters.

Just because his roommate Fisher felt that Ron was too fierce, and wanted to tell a pet hospital in Lorraine with more sophisticated technology that they could perform castration, Ron put a big mouse into Fisher's bed sheet.

Even while apologizing to Fisher, Ron played a trick on Fisher and ordered Chaplin pizza, a Mexican specialty.

But it is precisely because of this big mouse that Fisher finally met Melissa, and he met Christina, and finally they both became lovers.

"Hey, Lorraine, what's on your mind?"

"Come here and help me find it together."

Officer Dirk poked his head out from behind a certain group of bookcases, and called Lorraine from his memories. Lorraine quickly walked to Officer Dirk and helped him start searching.

It's a pity that I searched the entire bookcase, but I didn't find the information I wanted.

There are huts in the forest, there are huts in the forest surrounded by barbed wire, and there are old people with rickets, but there are no rickety old people who meet the above three items and live in huts in the forest for a long time.

"Officer Dirk, what should we do next?"

The suggestion he made didn't work, and Lorraine was quite discouraged, but Officer Dirk didn't express any opinion, but rubbed his thumb and index finger against his chin.

He was thinking, thinking about something he seemed to have missed, then he took out his phone and made a call.

"Barton, I'm Dirk. I remember that there seems to be an old reference room on the third floor. Do you have the key?"

"Oh, I see, I'll get it."

"Cough, cough, cough~"

The dust in the old reference room on the third floor is much heavier than the paper archives on the sixth floor. Officer Dirk and Lorraine, who walked into the old reference room after opening the door, couldn't help coughing for a while. They had to push them out and wait for the cough to stop. Re-enter with the breath.

There are not many materials in the old reference room, and thick dust is accumulated on them. Officer Dirk and Lorraine wiped off the dust on the materials, and began to search carefully—not to mention, they really found them.

"Officer Dirk, look at this one."

"Alec, aged 36, owns a cabin in the forest near the Orange County Zoo, surrounded by barbed wire, and has lived there for a long time."

"I used to work at the Orange County Zoo. I was sentenced to three years and one month in prison for stealing snake eggs and cruelty to animals, with a six-month reprieve."

This is the record on the paper that Lorraine found. Officer Dirk looked up at Lorraine for a while, which made Lorraine a little embarrassed.

"Hey Lorraine, don't you see he's only 36?"

"What we are looking for now is a rickety old man~, OK?"

After talking to Lorraine, Police Officer Dirk shook his head and continued to search for information—in his opinion, Lorraine was still a little too young.

"Officer Deke, I'm just looking for the old man."

"Look, here is the time when he was sentenced. In May 1980, he is 64 years old this year."

Without giving up, Lorraine handed the information to Officer Dirk again—after hearing Lorraine's words, Officer Dirk looked down, and it was true as Lorraine said, his face blushed a little.

"Good job, Lorraine."

"Let's keep looking."

Putting the documents aside, Officer Dirk and Lorraine continued to search, but they searched the entire old reference room, and only found this one that was the most suitable—and just to be on the safe side, Officer Dirk also found two other documents. A cabin in the woods covered with barbed wire.

When leaving, Lorraine also found the remains of a dead big mouse in the corner of the old reference room. It was obviously starved to death in the old reference room. The hair, muscles and internal organs had been eaten up by maggots. All that remains is a bare, dusty skeleton.

…………

In the evening, the team members who found the information continued to meet in the conference room of Building [-].

Chief Alden went to Los Angeles for a meeting, and the police chiefs of the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area were there, because the city government was going to assign tasks for the new year, and at the same time discuss the preset expenditures of the police stations in various regions in the new year.

"This is the information I got from the Orange County Fish and Wildlife Service. There are a total of three bald eagle habitats in Orange County, and there are also bald eagles in the Orange County Zoo."

"Combined with the hunting area of ​​bald eagles, I can only say that the entire Orange County is their range of activities, so it can only be used as a reference."

Officer Barton pasted the information obtained from Mrs. Enid on the whiteboard, and sat down—then Officer Dirk took out the information Lorraine found and the two spare materials he had prepared.

"This is the information we found in the old reference room. This one is about Alec. He has a forest cabin with barbed wire next to the Orange County Zoo, and he was sentenced for stealing snake eggs and cruelty to animals. .”

"Although he was only 36 years old when he was sentenced, he is 28 years old this year because the reference room was published 64 years ago."

"The other two are also forest huts with barbed wire, and the owners are also old people, but they have no record of staying in the forest hut."

Slightly shaking the information in his hand, Officer Dirk introduced it. After he finished the introduction, Officer Button suddenly reached out and took the document that Lorraine found from Officer Dirk.

"Alec? I have an impression."

Looking at the yellowed photo on the file, Officer Patton tried hard to recall in his mind, and then suddenly slapped the table.

"I remember!"

"Alec, No. 1980 in May 16 was brought to court by the Orange County Zoo, mainly charged with stealing snake eggs and cruelty to animals."

"This guy has an inexplicable obsession with venomous snakes, and he stole the eggs of the western cobra—the most venomous snake at the Orange County Zoo at the time!"

"The most important thing is that the police searched the entire cabin in the forest where he lived, but only found three snake eggs, and the other five snake eggs are missing!"
