"I'll just tell you, ask him and he's right." Jack smiled and gave him an egg sandwich as a reward.

"So, there is a high possibility that Tracy is still alive?" JJ poured coffee into the cup on the tray.

"You'll know soon anyway."

Jack looked at the time. It was already 7:40. The robber had promised to call at 8 o'clock.

The three of them walked out of the kitchen. At this time, Rossi was telling Evan Davenport, "Remember, keep your voice steady and calm, and agree to all his requests first."

Evan Davenport kept nodding, turning a blind eye to the cup JJ placed in front of him.

Time passed little by little as the Davenports and their daughters waited in agony. As the minute hand passed 12 o'clock, the two became particularly anxious.

"The time is up, and he hasn't yet." Evan looked at Rossi blankly, with a trace of despair in his eyes.

"Relax, the other party did it on purpose. He wants to make you restless and increase his own psychological leverage."

Rossi's calm tone greatly comforted the father.

A few more minutes passed before a rapid electronic sound sounded and the phone call came.

"Remember, mentally repeat all the important information he gives you to make sure you understand it, and try to keep him talking and talking about Trish. The more information, the better for us."

After speaking, Rossi pressed the call button.

"I'm Evan Davenport."

A strange voice that had obviously gone through a voice changer came from the other side, "Hello, Mr. Davenport."

"Are you the one who kidnapped my daughter Trish?" Evan tried to keep his voice from shaking on the phone.

"Yes, I have your daughter in my hands." The robber admitted bluntly.

"Can I ask."

"You are not allowed to ask anything." As Evan's words were interrupted, the robber on the other side of the phone made a strange request.

"I don't want to talk to you, I want to talk to Cheryl."

"Click." Rossi pressed the button and the red light came on.

"What does he want to do?" Rosie looked at Jack and JJ.

"Ensuring the initiative?" Jack's words were filled with uncertainty. He really lacked experience. Although he had been conducting raids at the FBI academy for three months, he did not dare to act rashly when an unexpected situation like this occurred that had not been seen in previous cases. Make a conclusion.

Rosie nodded, "We can't let her pick it up."

"Why not? I want to help, and I am willing to talk to him." Cheryl was a little confused.

JJ put forward the opposite opinion, "I think we can let her try. What we need now is information. The more information the other party reveals, the greater our advantage will be."

The kidnapper's urging came from the phone.

"No hurry." Rossi looked at JJ, "JJ, come here."

When everyone woke up, JJ quickly walked between Rossi and Evan's seats, bent down and whispered, "Ready."

Rossi pressed the button again.

"I'm Cheryl."

silence

JJ thought the other party didn't hear clearly, so he repeated, "Hello, I'm Cheryl."

Finally, a helpless sigh came from the other side of the phone, "Trish is by my side. I know her voice and her sister's. Get out of here. I want Cheryl to listen to the phone. I'll give you one minute."

"If I don't hear Cheryl's voice anymore, I will hang up and you will never hear anything about Trish again."

The button was pressed again, and Rosie suddenly stood up and decisively motioned for Cheryl to come forward.

"Quick, please sit here." He moved his seat and motioned for JJ to sit next to Cheryl and help her prepare.

JJ spoke very quickly, "This man is very arrogant. Let him know that you have taken the initiative. Follow his wishes, mention your sister as much as possible, and don't deviate from the topic."

"You have to agree with everything he says, tell him you understand what he means, and use an emphatic tone to resonate with him, soothe his emotions, and make him realize that hurting Tracy is too extreme and completely unnecessary. "

JJ spoke very quickly to Cheryl, and the kidnapper's countdown kept coming over the phone, which made people uneasy.

"Try to imply as much as possible in your words that as long as you release your sister, you can show that you are a good person with a clear conscience, reasonableness, and a calm and grateful tone."

"Don't panic. If you don't know how to answer, I will tell you from the side."

There are a large number of practical psychological warfare courses in the FBI academy courses, including interrogation, confession elicitation, negotiation, etc. While JJ was instructing Cheryl, Jack was also listening attentively.

Obviously, JJ, who often deals with the media and the local police department, is definitely an expert in negotiation.

Perhaps it was because they were both of the same sex. With JJ by her side, Cheryl took a long breath and calmed down quickly.

"I'm Cheryl."

"Hello, Cheryl, how are you doing lately?"

Jack on the side couldn't help but frowned, wondering if the old Americans in this world had similar opinions. Although the voice had been changed by a voice changer, the tone was obviously greasy.

It was like a cold, slippery poisonous snake was walking up and down his body, which was terrifying and disgusting.

Cheryl became nervous again and looked at JJ helplessly.

"Relax." JJ just mouthed without making a sound, but held her hand tightly as if encouraging.

Cheryl gathered her courage and replied, "I would feel better if I knew Trish was okay."

"I know you are connected, Cheryl, and you care about each other, and I am reasonable, very reasonable, and I understand you, Cheryl, and I know you want to be reunited with your sister."

Jack frowned as he watched Red add a series of questions next to the conversation record generated by speech recognition.

Familiar with the Davenport family? Like playing a game? pity? Why does he use a sympathetic tone?

These are also the questions in Jack's mind. Psychological profiling is not a rigid experience. Every abnormal psychology is subtly different, and the feeling of this kidnapper is completely different from the kidnappers in the serial kidnapping cases he has seen. .

The call continued. After asking a few questions about Cheryl's hobbies, the other party finally allowed the two sisters to have a short phone call with the girl's tearful plea.

Tracy's voice on the other side of the phone was a little choppy, and she seemed to be in a state of confusion.

At JJ's prompting, Cheryl asked a key question, "Where are you? What did you see?"

"I saw the moon"

Immediately, the voice appeared again, interrupting the communication between the sisters.

"Be ready for 1 million. This is what I deserve. In 15 minutes, I will call again and there will be clear instructions."

After stating these conditions, the call was hung up.

"Has the phone been traced?" Rossi asked Red in front of the computer.

Rhett shook his head, "The other party used a disposable mobile phone. The triangulation method determined two base stations, but the range was too large. It is a densely populated area in New York, and it has basically no reference value."
