The real life of an American police officer: Winning over others with virtue

Chapter 56 AMBER Alert
With his keen senses, Eric immediately identified the direction of the sound source. He intended to go around the wall of the villa in front and move to the street opposite.

However, some kind-hearted residents seemed to be able to sense this.

One of the male owners, who had set up a stall by his own gate, waved and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Officer! Over here!"

Eric immediately understood and sprinted towards the house behind him. If he simply walked through the villa, he would save even more time.

"The back door is open!"

With the help of this kind male homeowner, Eric saved a great deal of distance, quickly crossed his house, opened the back door, and headed straight for the street across the street.

However, everything that was meant to happen, happened.

He arrived too late.

A young woman was limping along the street, chasing after something, her expression almost broken, as she screamed in despair.

"Vanessa! My Vanessa!"

"Help! Please help me! My daughter has been kidnapped! Please help me!"

"."

Because of this, some homeowners from the villas across the street also came out to check the situation, looking quite bewildered.

"God... what on earth happened?" The kind homeowner standing behind me murmured unconsciously.

Eric, expressionless, followed the direction the woman was chasing as he ran towards her.

Unfortunately, the end of the street was deserted, and nothing was found.

The distance from the intersection to here is several tens of meters, which means that someone drove a car and forcibly abducted the little girl Vanessa from beside the woman.

Remembering the cute little girl who had looked up at him and asked him so many questions, Eric's expression remained blank, but his eyes instantly turned fierce as he pulled out a walkie-talkie:
"Calling dispatch center, this is 10-Adam-11, Green Community 36, code name 33 emergency, 207a attempted kidnapping, 415c child-related."

Requesting backup!

Perhaps because it involved children, the voices at the dispatch center became much more somber.

"Received! Notifying all patrol units!"

Eric was not surprised by the change in the voice at the dispatch center.

Although America has a very crazy and disgusting side behind the scenes, it is absolutely a huge deal when it comes to children.

at the same time.

Even though she was injured, the woman, who was still limping forward, saw Eric running towards her and felt a sense of reliance on his police uniform, and her body went limp.

Eric took a few big strides and quickly caught the woman who was on the verge of collapse.

"Miss!"

The woman stared at Eric and said in a broken, tearful voice:
"Please! Officer, please help me! Someone just kidnapped my daughter. Please help me, if anything happens to Vanessa, I won't live anymore."

Supporting the distraught woman, Eric took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm voice:

"I will help you find Vanessa, but I need you to stay conscious and tell me everything you saw from beginning to end."
For example, what kind of car it was, what color it was, what the suspect's skin color was, what they looked like, and their approximate height.

Because of the rather detailed questions, coupled with Eric's calm and trustworthy voice, the woman seemed to immediately snap out of her daze and shouted:
"Sentra! The grey Sentra!!"

Perhaps because the emotions were too intense, the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for rational thinking, was suppressed, leading to a breakdown in language function.

The woman's tone was quite disordered, interspersed with many irrelevant remarks.

But Eric was able to quickly sift through the jumbled words to extract the information he wanted to hear.

"He was wearing a mask, very tall and strong, and black." After quickly sorting through these details, a fairly clear line appeared in Eric's mind.

Based on the woman's height of 1.7 meters, the suspect is likely over 1.8 meters tall, is Black, physically strong, and drives a gray Nissan Sentra.

Unfortunately, the woman didn't see the license plate clearly.

However, this message has already met the conditions for issuing an AMBER alert.

What is an AMBER alarm? It is an alarm system developed in the United States to prevent child abduction or kidnapping.

It is usually released quickly through communication methods such as radio or television, mobile phones, and TV stations.

It is a mandatory alarm function that cannot be turned off by default on mobile phones.

Therefore, the prerequisite for issuing an Amber Alert to the local population is that the kidnapping must be confirmed and that there is indeed some information about the suspect.

"Calling dispatch center, this is 10-Adam-11. We have some information about the suspect and request an AMBER alert!"

The crime scene was at No. 36, Green Community. The perpetrator was Black, over 1.8 meters tall, and of strong build, driving a gray Nissan Sentra!

The dispatch center replied, "Received! An AMBER alert is about to be issued!"

Hearing this, Eric's expression didn't relax much. The AMBER alarm is valid for 24 hours, but who can guarantee that little Vanessa hasn't been harmed during those 24 hours?

It's not that he discriminates against Black people; perhaps it's due to the deliberate influence of America that Black people living on this land are often seen as unsettling, skilled in everything from breaking the law to stealing.

Eric dared not delve any deeper into the question of what the suspect's motive was in kidnapping little Vanessa.

hum!
The sound of a police car engine reached his ears, and Eric looked toward the other side of the intersection.

An Explorer patrol car was speeding towards him when it suddenly braked and stopped in front of him.

"get off!"

Eric said calmly.

Noticing the change in Eric's tone, Annie didn't say anything, but got out of the car as quickly as possible.

But to her surprise, after Eric sat down, he only left her with one sentence.

"You stay here and watch the lady!"

After saying that, Eric didn't give Annie a chance to speak and slammed on the gas, speeding the car forward.

The acceleration instantly reaches its peak.

The Explorer patrol car roared to life, quickly reached the intersection, and disappeared with a simple drift.

"Please!" the woman pleaded. Annie pursed her lips, looked away, and knelt down to hug her mother, who was on the verge of collapse, and said earnestly.

"He will definitely help you find it!"

Waaaaaah!

Inside the speeding Explorer patrol car, Eric, expressionless, turned on the siren and flashing lights at maximum frequency, his eyes slightly narrowed, his mind racing.

A gray Nissan Sentra costs around $10,000 new and only a few thousand dollars as a used car.

Given these conditions, coupled with his Black identity, Eric could only come to one conclusion.

That means this damn guy definitely doesn't have housing; most likely he's just wandering around, living in his car.

This wasn't just his wild guess; it's simply the reality of the situation here.

The common people here have a completely opposite concept of money to the Chinese; they have no habit of saving money at all.
