Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1035

"How long will it take?" Luke's expression was grim. His mind was occupied by thoughts of Bianca.

"They just got back. It should take another half an hour," the superintendent said. Looking at Luke's frigid expression, he promised, "Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this. I've already contacted the people in the traffic department, and they should be able to track down the getaway car in half an hour."

Luke understood that the superintendent was telling him to wait.

He could have skipped past the superintendent to receive the security footage from the traffic department. What he wanted was the facial composite from Ripley and the bodyguards' descriptions. Knowing that the culprits were Europeans, he had a vague feeling that the culprits were related to his past.

Ten minutes later, Luke received a call from Ripley. "Boss, I've already tracked down the car that took Madam away. They drove straight to the port area in the west, and they did not swap cars."

Luke frowned. "Let's meet there."

"Yes. I'm already on my way to the port," Ripley replied.

The superintendent overheard the conversation. "Mr. Crawford, have you found out where the culprits went?"

"The port in the west," Luke said, stood up, and headed out.

The superintendent could not help but be impressed by Luke's efficiency. All his police officers were not as fast as Luke's subordinates. He felt that his police department was quite unqualified.

"I'll make arrangements," the superintendent said while following him.

"I want the latest facial composites," Luke said as he opened the door.

The superintendent dared not delay. "I'll get them for you now!" He immediately said.

The superintendent felt guilty that the police could not solve the break-in at Crawford Manor, so he had to make sure that they could help in Bianca's abduction.

He went to the evidence room, took two facial composites, and handed them to Luke. "This is it, Mr. Crawford."

Luke could not identify the two Caucasian faces. He noticed that one of them had a scar on his face and guessed that he must be an international mercenary.

Anyone who could afford to hire international mercenaries must be loaded. They did not abduct Bianca for money, but they wanted to lure him out.

Thinking that Bianca had once again got into danger because of him, he clenched his fists.

Luke, the superintendent, and several police cars went to the post area in the west.

His heart wrenched when he saw the charred vehicle.

'Bianca…'

Ripley came over and reported his latest findings, "The car was already in that condition when we got here. We did not find any bodies in the car. It seemed like the culprits wanted to destroy the evidence."

Luke glanced out to the port and clenched his fists. A storm was brewing inside him, threatening to engulf everything in his rage.

The superintendent instantly went to delegate his subordinates. "If the culprits came to the port, they must be hiding the person in a container or the slums nearby. Go and search carefully if you can find Mrs. Crawford."

"Yes!" The police officers replied in unison and scattered in all directions.

Luke's eyes remained transfixed on the horizon.

The superintendent trembled when he sensed Luke's seething rage. He hoped that Luke would not pull off something major. Otherwise, he might lose his job.

"Search the van. You might find some evidence!" He said. He knew that the culprits had set the vehicle on fire to destroy the evidence, and it was incredibly implausible that they would find anything useful.
