Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 Human Trafficking

There was no way a cigarette would appear in the women's restroom. In that split second, Elspeth knew that it was a man who had kidnapped Yelena. Moreover, there might be more than one kidnapper.

Callum took the cigarette and examined it. However, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "This cigarette is a normal brand. We might not find anything from it."

"No." Elspeth carefully wrapped the cigarette with a tissue. "We can find out whose DNA is on the cigarette. I will find out who he is."

Hearing her words, Callum looked at her with admiration and said, "Should we go back now to analyze it?"

"We can't." Elspeth frowned. "We will be wasting too much time if we head back now. I'll call Harper over and have him analyze it. On the other hand, we will find Yelena."

Meanwhile, Callum looked down at the ground. Since it had just rained, a layer of mud covered the ground. Right there, Callum saw footprints.

"This might be the suspect's footprints."

Hearing his words, Elspeth crouched to take a close look. When she was abroad, she learned about the criminal investigation from a veteran detective. Thus, she was sure that the kidnappers who abducted Yelena were two men, and they were almost 6 feet tall.

After they exited the restroom, Elspeth saw tire tracks on the side of the road.

"They must have been waiting for Yelena in the restroom. Once they caught her, they immediately took her to the car and drove away." Unfortunately, Elspeth couldn't tell which way the car went since it was dark.

Besides her, Callum looked left and right before saying, "He must have headed toward the west side."

"Why?" Elspeth was startled by his answer.

"The east side is an urban area. Now that it's late, the urban area is brightly lit. Moreover, there aren't any intersections, and there are police checkpoints. Thus, they would be caught easily. On the other hand, the west side… is the way to the mountains."

As soon as Elspeth heard his words, her face went pale. "Is this human trafficking?"

"I'm afraid so," Callum replied in a low voice.

If it was human trafficking, Yelena was in a much more dangerous situation than they expected.

"Go and get the car, Callum. We are heading toward the west side now."

Callum was worried that the same thing would happen to Elspeth if he left her alone.

"Don't worry about me. I can handle it if anything happens."

Only after hearing that did Callum feel at ease.

After he arrived with the car, Elspeth got in it. As they headed toward the west side, she called Hank and told him to be on the lookout on the east side. That way, the kidnappers wouldn't be able to slip past their hands if they were to make the wrong guess.

…

In the middle of the night, Yelena slowly opened her eyes as the car rocked sideways. When she noticed that she was in an unfamiliar place, she tried to call for help. However, she noticed that she couldn't make a sound. Only then did she realize that her mouth was taped shut.

At this moment, she was inside a minivan. A man was driving the car, while another man was beside her. When one of the men noticed she was awake, he smiled evilly and stared at her as he sat straight up.
