“That is…”
Everyone was hesitating on how to comfort Master Glenn, but then they saw Master Glenn actually humble himself by kneeling on the ground, bowing down to let his expensive suit get dirtied.
“Master Glenn, what are you doing?”
It wasn’t until Master Glenn found a pink smartwatch from under the wardrobe, the most popular style from Akloit at the moment.
Just like Sasha had seen some classmates in her class wear, being able to make calls, send messages, and be used as an alarm clock.
Although the little girl had never said she wanted one herself, how could he, who spoiled his daughter so much, not be willing to buy it for her?
“I personally picked this out, my Sasha loves it.”
He couldn’t bear to think about what would happen if his daughter fell into the hands of human traffickers. Sasha was actually a very timid child, afraid of the dark and thunder, needing to listen to his stories at night to fall asleep.
“Sasha… Daddy will definitely find you and bring you back safely.”
The watch had run out of battery, so Master Glenn casually put it in his suit pocket and continued to observe the scene.
After calling the police for over ten minutes, the police finally arrived, led by his old acquaintance – Gordon!
The latter went straight to the scene to take photos for evidence, while he stood in front of Master Glenn and said, “I never thought it would be you calling the police this time.”
In the conspiracy of the Lucas family, Master Glenn had once been an accomplice, but fortunately, he chose to turn against them in the end, earning him a chance to redeem himself.
For the first two years, some still doubted him, fearing he would collude with the Lucas family again to make a comeback.
But over four years had passed, and Master Glenn had been going to work and coming back home as usual without contacting any suspicious individuals, so the surveillance on him had been lifted.
Just when he was starting to settle down, something like this happened. At this moment, Gordon felt sympathy for him.
“Master Glenn, don’t worry. According to the information I have, it seems that those people intentionally abducted these children, and the whereabouts of the missing children are unknown, so I think they should still be alive.”
Upon hearing this, Master Glenn chuckled self-deprecatingly, “How could I not worry? That’s my daughter! I was the one who delivered her into this world.”
“You, a loner like you, must find it difficult to understand my emotions.”
Being despised, Gordon was a little angry, “Master Glenn, consider if you have offended anyone recently? If you have enemies, or targets, they might be moving faster.”
Thinking about recent enemies, Master Glenn carefully recalled, and his company had been well-behaved recently without any mistakes.
Except for one thing.
“I remember now, I had a small dispute with the Terry family before.”
But he didn’t think that the couple had the guts to harm Sasha. Perhaps there was more to this than meets the eye.
Just as a dangerous thought briefly crossed his mind, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
“Boss, we have a lead!”
The speaker was a young policeman with a crew cut, with slightly dark skin and bright white teeth when he smiled, exuding a sunny demeanor.
He was a newly transferred young patrol officer, and he had tagged along out of curiosity when Master Glenn called the police earlier.
As soon as the words “lead” were mentioned, everyone’s gaze concentrated on the man, making the shy young man blush.
“Where are the clues?” Gordon asked in a cold voice.
In the next moment, a young officer actually moved the mirror from the dressing room outside. The mirror looked to be about half the height of a person, one meter wide, reflecting the faces of everyone present.
There was a mirror inside the dressing room because this room used to be a dance studio, and dance studios often install mirrors on the walls to create a sense of space.
After it was converted into a dressing room, the mirror inside the dressing room was left there. When there were many female celebrities, the mirror outside was simply not enough.
So, it was no longer a secret to look in the mirror after changing clothes in the dressing room.
The young officer continued to speak about how he found the mirror: “I was ordered to go to the dressing room to look for clues, and I caught a glimpse of the mirror on the side, then I noticed the bloodstains on the mirror.”
“I curiously turned the mirror over and saw there were words on it!”
“Let me see that.”
After Gordon spoke, two policemen approached, lifted the mirror, and turned it in a direction.
Behind the mirror, there should have been a thin layer of metal, but at this moment, it was written in blood-
“If you want to find your daughter, trade your life for hers. This is what you owe me!”
At the sight of this familiar handwriting and message, Master Glenn’s face turned pale, his tall figure staggering back a step, his back against the table.
It’s him!
He’s back!
The attention of Gordon and the others was focused on the mirror, and for a moment, they did not notice Master Glenn’s unease, continuing to discuss among themselves.
“Boss, there are fingerprints on the mirror. Should we collect them?”
“Of course, when you handle it, remember to wear gloves and don’t disturb the crime scene.”
“Yes.”
After some evidence collection, Gordon already had a rough idea of what had happened. This case was different from the previous incidents of missing children.
In the previous cases, the children disappeared in crowded public places, but this time… the child disappeared in a closed dressing room.
“I speculate that the guy abducted Sasha in the dressing room and then hid in the dressing room after it happened. The mirror piece fell off, so he hid behind it.”
According to the director and eyewitness testimonies, only a few minutes passed between Sasha’s disappearance and Kate noticing the child missing.
If the guy was familiar to Sasha, the scene would not have turned out like this.
On the contrary, if the guy was a stranger to Sasha, she would have felt fear subconsciously and struggled, knocking over the makeup tools.
Perhaps afraid of making noise that would attract attention, he hid.
Juliana entered the dressing room after the perpetrator, and then the play between her and Kate began.
The perpetrator probably took advantage of the distraction between the two and escaped with the child unnoticed.
The film base had a considerable flow of people. During peak season, at least eight to ten film crews were shooting every day, including children. Therefore, no one would suspect a person carrying a child among them.
“Quick, find all the surveillance footage you can from here!” Gordon ordered, and Master Glenn immediately dispatched someone to do it.
However, everyone knew that the film base was vast, with limited surveillance coverage, not to mention that places like restrooms and dressing rooms, where privacy was paramount, had no surveillance.
Finding someone through this route was not easy, akin to finding a needle in a haystack!
