from night city

Seeing that Joss was like a balloon that was getting more and more inflated and was about to explode at any time, River said quickly.

"Su, thank you for speaking for me, but let me handle this. Please go out first, okay? Please."

Chapter 2: Every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite (3K)

Looking at River's pleading expression clearly written on his face, Su Xiao nodded, left the kitchen and walked outside.

When Su Xiao left, only Jos and River were left in the kitchen.

Jos's face was red and he didn't speak, he just stood there.

The air seemed very quiet.

"Joss..."

River spoke awkwardly.

"River, you don't need to say anything anymore. Your friend is right. It's me who is wrong. I..."

Joss covered his face, then turned his back to River.

"I'm sorry, because Randy has been missing for a long time. He ran away from home before and has never been away for such a long time. That's why I lost control of my emotions. It's my fault to vent my anger on you. Please forgive me."

Joss's proactive apology made River feel a lot better, who was originally blaming himself and feeling guilty.

he comforted.

"No, how can I blame you, Joss? You should also blame that bastard Anthony Harris. If it weren't for him, Randy would be here now.

Nor will his whereabouts remain unknown. "

Jos nodded.

Under Su Xiao's words, which were like a wake-up call, Joes suddenly came to his senses.

Only then did he realize that River was the only person who could and was willing to help him.

She really shouldn't treat River with this attitude.

River was not responsible for Randy's disappearance and should not be blamed.

After thinking clearly, Joss gradually calmed down and said, "River, tell me the truth. Is Randy already dead?"

"No." River replied quickly.

Joss shook his head: "River, don't lie to me."

Although Joss can only work at the lowest level, she is not stupid.

The criminal is now in a coma, and neither River nor the NCPD can learn from the criminal the whereabouts of the other missing children.

Moreover, it was said on TV that the child who was with the criminal was injected with so many drugs when he was found.

How can Randy, who was kidnapped together with the child, fare better?

The worst outcome may be that he is dead like the child.

Even if he is still alive, they don't know where Randy is being held. How long will it take to find Randy?If it takes too long, Randy will die as well.

"Joss, I am a police detective. Don't you still believe in my professionalism? Although Randy has not been found yet, my intuition tells me that Randy is still alive."

Joss stared at River, whose face was full of assurance, and finally nodded.

"I believe you."

River breathed a sigh of relief.

Besides Randy, River is most worried about Joss.

River didn't know whether Randy was still alive, but what he knew was that Joss had to hold on.

If she collapses, her other two children will really be doomed.

"Joss, we came here to take a look at Randy's things and maybe find some clues."

"Well, okay, no problem."

"Thank you."

River said some more words of encouragement and comfort, and then he was ready to leave without losing any more time.

If they are lucky and find clues in Randy's room, they may be able to find Randy soon.

When River walked out of the kitchen, Jos's voice suddenly came from behind: "River."

When River looked over with doubtful eyes, Joss lowered his head and whispered, "Apologise to me and Su."

River nodded solemnly and comforted.

"I will, but you don't have to take it too seriously. Su is not the kind of person who is petty."

"Who says I'm not a small-minded person?"

In the open space outside Randy's house, after listening to Riverdejos's apology, Su Xiao spread her hands and asked.

"Huh?" River was confused.

Su Xiao said with a smile: "At least after we get Randy back, she will cook a table of delicious food and reward us well, then I can forgive her."

"It turns out it's just this. I thought..." River breathed a sigh of relief, "I can guarantee that it will happen. The food made by Jos is very delicious. We will definitely invite you over then."

……

Randy lives in a nearby mobile home.

It can be seen that although Joss does not have that much time to take care of Randy, her love for Randy is no less than that of the other two children.

José and his two children were squeezed into one mobile home, while Randy had the other mobile home to himself.

Although Randy lost his father when he was young, coupled with his poor background and rebellious period, he gradually learned bad things.

There are certain objective factors in this.

But even so, mother Joss did her best to give Randy everything she could.

But Randy did not understand his mother's good intentions and only cared about his own feelings.

It is indeed too ignorant.

River said as Su Xiao and River walked into the mobile home where Randy lived.

"This is where Randy lives."

Su Xiao asked with some confusion: "Isn't Jos very poor? Still have money to buy two mobile homes?"

Although this type of mobile home is for poorer people, not everyone can afford it.

Otherwise, in the United States in 2023, there will be no people sleeping in tents, or there will be no tents at all, and they will have to lie on park benches.

This type of mobile home usually costs tens of thousands yuan for a new one, and a few thousand yuan for an old one. Even the high-end ones only cost 10,000+.

But the problem is, from what Su Xiao can see, it’s not easy for Joes to get thousands of dollars to look at.

So where did she get the money to buy an extra mobile home?

River put his hands on his hips and explained: "This was their previous house. After I bought a new one, Randy moved here."

Lidya Su suddenly realized.

It turns out that the co-author was purchased by River.

No wonder.

Although the salary of NCPD is not very high, it depends on who you compare with.

It's not comparable to companies, but it's still much better than other professions.

But River always wore the same fur coat, drove a cheap pickup truck instead of a more expensive car, lived in a police dormitory, and couldn't even afford to rent a house.

It turns out that he used the money to support his sister's family.

But it seems that before, Jos

River's bad attitude is even more inappropriate.

Fortunately, Joss is a person who listens to others' advice and eats enough. After some persuasion from Su Xiao, she finally came to her senses.

"You look around, and I'll dig through the trash cans."

The two work together.

River went to find the trash can, because he felt that children like Randy were not so careful, so there might be clues in the trash can that Randy had lost.

Su Xiao, on the other hand, opened the toilet and found nothing useful, so she went straight to Randy's bedroom.

In fact, this mobile home is much smaller than the one they just left from Joes.

There is only one bedroom, one bathroom, and a living room, and nothing else.

River said this was where his sister's family used to live.

It was hard for Su Xiao to imagine how such a small place could accommodate José, her husband, three children and five people.

He shook his head to get rid of the unnecessary distractions. It was better to focus on the things in front of him.

He glanced at Randy's bedroom and found that the room was actually very small. Apart from the bed and table, there wasn't much room for it.

There was no quilt on the bed, only a piece of clothing thrown over, nothing interesting.

Lidya Su's eyes fell on the magazine on the bedside table.

I picked it up and flipped through it, and found that it was just an ordinary magazine.

Put it down, and then pulled the bedside table.

This time he noticed something unusual.

Because the cabinet was locked.

Generally speaking, a locked place is a place where you don't want to be disturbed, and it is also the place where you are most likely to get something.

Su Xiao took a closer look. This cabinet was just an ordinary cabinet. It could be easily cut open with a Murasame knife.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he called River: "This cabinet is locked. Do you know where the key is?"

After River came over, he also looked confused.

"I don't know, but I saw a key on the shelf in the living room outside. I'll go get it and show it to you."
