Chapter 789 788. Black Opal Information (25)

On November 23, 1973, Benson-Selberg saw his wife Jennifer go out for the last time and thought she had returned to her natal family.

But after 5 days, Jennifer's parents did not see her, and they called the police after many contacts failed.

In 1979, the police listed Jennifer's case as a major disappearance, and her disappearance report is still scrolling on the homepage of the official website of the National Coordination Center for the Missing.

The parents of the four children all knew Jennifer, so after hearing Benson's words, they knew his identity, because these days they paid attention to the official website of the Coordination Center every day, and their children were with Jennifer's image.

According to the regulations of the National Coordination Center for the Missing Persons, those who have been missing for more than 3 months will be listed as long-term key search targets.

There is a computer in the lounge. Adrian turned on the computer and logged into the official website of the coordination center, and let Li Du and others read the news on it.

There are a lot of photos hanging on the homepage of the website, and there are many people who have been missing for several years or even decades. It looks shocking!

The Australian Police Department has offered rewards for these missing cases. They regularly collect them in March and October every year, make posters and send them to state police stations and post them in various public places.

The photos Benson got were taken from public places.

Lu Guan was very helpless, he said to Benson: "Sorry, sir, I really want to help you, but I don't have that much energy..."

"Don't you have supernatural powers? You found those children, please help search for my wife, okay?" Benson interrupted him eagerly.

The old man stared at him with wide eyes, full of expectation.

Lu Guan muttered: "Damn it, I regret accepting the titles that the police boasted about me now. How can I have any supernatural powers?"

As Adrian said earlier, heroes are not easy to be.

Benson has been looking for a wife for half his life, and he has become a bit obsessed. The meaning of his life now is to find a wife, and this idea is supporting him.

Without this philosophy, I'm afraid he would have collapsed.

Li Du saw this, and when he saw that the official was about to refuse, he said first: "How about this, Mr. Selberg, you give us a copy of the photo, and we will work hard to find it. If we are lucky enough to find the news, Be sure to let you know."

The old man was very grateful, and took out a set of photos from his bag to them. The photos covered the age of twenty-five to seventy, and they were very clear.

When the old man left, Lu Guan said helplessly, "Boss, how can we help him?"

Adrian understood why Li Du did this. He said, "This is helping him. If you refuse or deny that you can help, it will make him despair."

The other three parents nodded one after another. They had just experienced such a life a few days ago.

Looking at the photo, Sophie wondered: "According to what Mr. Howard said, Ms. Jennifer Selberg was just married when she disappeared, so why did the photo continue into old age?"

Adrian and others explained to them that this is a very advanced technology used by Australia to find missing persons.

As we all know, when the missing time is too long, the current face must have undergone a lot of changes compared with when the crime happened.

Especially for missing children, they develop very fast, and it is difficult to guarantee that their parents will be able to recognize their children at a glance in the vast crowd just by the faces they remember in a few years.

It is precisely for this reason that this long-term missing person's appearance changes have brought great challenges to the police's search work.

Later, the Australian National Missing Persons Coordination Center worked with the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to introduce forensic imaging technology and related training courses.

This technology can use the photos of the missing person before they disappeared, combined with their unique physical characteristics, and after rigorous argumentation and inference by relevant experts, a new "photo" of the missing person several years later can be drawn.

Then put together the photos before his disappearance and the photos synthesized by forensic medicine. This method can minimize the obstacles to the search caused by the change of appearance, and provide a powerful reference for the police and the public to identify the missing.

These synthetic photos not only provide convenience for the police to search for the missing, but also bring some comfort to the families of the missing.

Li Du and others suddenly realized that the power of technology had already developed to this point.

They put away the photos, and if they could meet the old woman in the photos by chance in the future, they would be willing to help send her home.

The arrival of Banner made the original pleasant atmosphere disappear without a trace, especially after seeing the photos on the official website of the Missing Center, the group became a little dull again.

Hans adjusted the atmosphere and said, "Speaking of which, we are not familiar with each other. What kind of work do you do? Do you like diving?"

Adrian answered: "I envy divers, but unfortunately I can't do it. My job is exactly the opposite of yours. I am a geological surveyor."

"So, our work is similar. I also deal with land and minerals. I am engaged in gem mining in New South Wales." A middle-aged man named Bob Bryan said.

His child was one of four kidnapped children recovered, but unfortunately, his child was the one with brain damage from drugs and lack of oxygen.

Hearing his words, Li Du's heart moved, and he asked, "Gem digging? Is it black opal?"

Black Opal is the most famous characteristic gemstone in Australia. Its production areas are scattered, but the high-quality mining areas are mainly concentrated around Lightning Ridge in New South Wales.

This is like black golden abalone, which can be found in many sea areas in Australia, but the main production area is around Jindao.

Bob nodded and smiled: "Yes, I am a black opal searcher."

"Wow, Rich Man." Adrian said enviously.

Black opal is one of the most expensive types of gemstones, more expensive than fire opal, and if you dig a piece, you can live comfortably for a year.

Bob smiled helplessly and said: "I'm not the lucky gem hunter in your impression. So far, I have only found two opals. But it doesn't matter, I found the most valuable treasure in my life, my son, Thank God!"

What a coincidence, Li Du came to Australia this time not only to catch black gold abalone, but also to see such gems as black opal.

He was planning to visit New South Wales when the black gold abalone fishing season ended in April, but he unexpectedly met an expert here.

So he stretched out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Bob Bryan. I'm also a gem hunter. I'm going to visit Lightning Ridge recently."

This is fate, the two got together, and immediately came to a common topic.

Li Du asked him about the production of black opal in Lightning Ridge and the rules of searching for black opal in Australia. Bob was very grateful to him, so he knew everything.
