Lucy opened Randy's email, and Su Xiao and River came forward to take a closer look.
Next, as Lucy began to check the emails exchanged between Randy and Harris one by one, the three of them became more and more frightened.
Especially River.
When I saw the TV news, I was only concerned about the whereabouts of Randy
River had no other emotions except uncertainty, worry, and hostility to Anthony Harris for kidnapping his nephew.
But after seeing the conversation record between Randy and Harris, River realized what kind of person Harris was.
What Harris showed in the email was not like a pervert who abducted children, but like a gentle, compassionate and good person.
He used sweet words to weave a big web full of poison called lies, slowly entangling Randy, making Randy gradually believe Harris's lies.
What's even more frightening is that Harris knows exactly what children like Randy, who come from a single-parent family who are poor and lack love, long for.
For example, in one of the emails, Randy asked Harris why he wanted to help him.
Harris answered like this:
--"I used to be like you, like all of you. I have experienced many cruel twists and turns in life. The worst one was when my friend died..."
Then he began to explain what disease his friend was suffering from and how he felt. Finally, he felt guilty that he could not help his friend, so he wanted to help other people in the world.
For Su Xiao, Lucy, and River, who have grown up and have been repeatedly beaten by society, this kind of nonsense can be identified as false at a glance.
Even if Randy wants to hear it, Su Xiao can tell him better words than Harris.
Unfortunately, children like Randy are the least resistant to such words.
They will really believe that sitting on the other side of the network is a kind person with holy light radiating from the back of his head.
"It turns out that during the time when Randy locked himself in the house, he was chatting with Harris."
River feels very regretful, very regretful.
They say that it takes less than a day to freeze three feet.
River originally thought that Randy was kidnapped by Harris.
But now it seems that this is clearly abduction.
It was Randy who was deceived and fell into the trap of Harris.
I believe that the other missing children are in a similar situation to Randy.
"Damn it!"
River couldn't help but feel guilty and self-blame.
If Joss's husband could take more time to care for Randy during the period when he was away, maybe Randy would not go to the virtual network to seek spiritual sustenance and spiritual comfort.
Su Xiao glanced at the River and did not choose to comfort him, but said, "Continue reading."
At this time, the more you comfort River, the more the other party may blame themselves.
The best comfort for the River is to find clues from this laptop as soon as possible and rescue Randy.
Continue to browse other emails.
What can be seen is that as Randy and Harris chat for longer and longer, the relationship between the two becomes more and more intimate...
Or it should be said that Harris succeeded in making Randy think that her relationship with him was getting closer and closer.
Then, the important node of "testing friendship" comes.
In a subsequent email, Harris mentioned that he used the authority of the website administrator to find the IP address of Randy, and then he found someone to send a game to Randy.
It's the AR game of <Great War Heywood> that Su Xiao and River found on the bedside table.
Why is this an important node?
Because generally speaking, foreigners have a relatively strong sense of boundaries.
The so-called sense of boundaries means that your things belong to you and mine belong to me.
For example, for children, everyone can decide whether they are willing to lend their toys, clothes, books, food, etc. This is a material boundary.
Everyone's protection of their own personal space, such as the protection of the body or some private spaces, is the boundary of personal space.
Take the IP address of Randy as an example. This thing is originally hidden.
Why hide it instead of making it public for everyone to see? Because it is related to personal privacy.
True information should never be known to others.
If you ask someone about some situation and they are unwilling to answer, OK, the matter should be stopped here, and no one should continue to delve into this topic.
But how did Harris do it?
He didn't even ask where Randy lived, but directly used the authority of the website administrator to find the IP address of Randy.
And after he found the IP address, he didn't tell Randy. Instead, he first sent a box of games to Randy, and then told Randy in the email that he did it.
At first glance, you might think, isn't it just sending a courier? What's the big deal?
But actually, if you think about it carefully, this thing is quite bad.
Because if Harris acted maliciously, Randy and his family would die miserably.
And judging from the current results, this is indeed the case.
A family that was not wealthy to begin with was severely hit by the disappearance of Randy.
In fact, if Randy is alert enough and smart enough, he should choose to call the police.
Or block Harris and never contact Harris again.
Unfortunately, Randy did not do this.
Su Xiao doesn't know why Randy still keeps in touch with Harris.
This kid is so lonely and lonely that he would just grab a handful of straws and regard them as his close friends and soul mates...
Or is it that Randy's sense of boundaries is so weak that he doesn't realize that the other party is already violating his boundaries...
Or maybe this kid was not alert at all when he received the game, but maybe he was very happy to receive the gift.
Keep scrolling through your email.
The relationship between the two really got better.
Harris, on the other hand, continued to send some things to Randy.
Sometimes it's a model in a bikini, sometimes it's something else.
All in all, it is of interest to teenagers.
Randy also accepted all orders, as if Harris has become his best friend.
After that, Randy touched Shining again.
In the email, he told Harris about this.
As expected, Harris once again comforted Randy with clumsy lies.
Still the same sentence.
In fact, what Harris said is not clever.
Anyone who has been around society for a while will not be fooled by Harris's nonsense.
But Randy has never entered society, so he thought that what he was experiencing now was already the worst.
That's why he was deceived by Harris time and time again.
Chapter 283 The Internet is virtual, you can't control it (3K)
River Looking at these emails, he felt both distressed and anxious.
Now he is no longer worried about Randy, but also wants to beat this brat to vent his anger.
If you have something to say, even if you can't tell your mother, why can't you come to me?
Although I can't replace the role of Randy's father, I am still better than Harris, an outsider who I have never even met, right?
I am Randy's uncle!
Why is the network virtual?
It is because abductors like Harris can pretend to be good people online and lure children who come from families lacking love, have never received praise and encouragement, and are in desperate need of attention.
The Internet has indeed shortened the distance between people and turned the world into a global village.
But at the same time, it also gives these criminals, scum, and garbage a layer of protection and disguise.
"Randy, Randy, let me tell you what you are good at, hey."
River sighed heavily with a tone that said he hated iron.
There are a lot of records after that.
It can be seen that Randy has completely fallen into the trap of Harris.
At this time, he regards Harris as his best and possibly only friend.
If River knew about this at this time and questioned Randy, Randy might not be so impatient that he would start a quarrel with the River.
Lucy quickly browsed the records, no longer looking so carefully as before.
Instead, you go through it briefly, and then you stop and read carefully until you see the sensitive words.
There are a lot of chat records, all of which are between Randy and Harris, but the amount of information is very small.
This won't work.
If I keep reading like this, I might not be able to read all the emails in my email box even at dawn.
Su Xiao thought for a while and said, "I don't have time to look for them one by one, so I just skip to the last few emails and look at them."
Before Randy disappeared, there must be important information in the last chat history with Harris.
Judging from these emails that have been read, Randy already trusts Harris very much.
Therefore, the disappearance of Randy should not be caused by Harris running to Randy's home to take him away.
After all, although the trailer park is a very poor community, there are still many people living there.
If Harris drives over by himself, he will be noticed by others, which will cause alarm.
Therefore, as long as Harris is not a fool (the fact that he can accurately target Randy's pain points clearly shows that he is not a fool), he will not come here in person, but will ask Randy to go somewhere outside and join him.
If this is the case, it will be of great help to them in finding Randy.
Lucy nodded when he heard this, then scrolled to the bottom and started reading from the last few letters.
Sure enough, the last few emails sent by Randy before he disappeared contained much more information.
Randy and Harris have been chatting for so long. Finally, Randy may think that online chatting is really boring and wants to meet Harris offline.
Harris made a request, asking Randy to delete the first email he sent, just in case, Harris didn't want anyone to meddle in other people's business.
If you are a normal person, you should actually be alert when you see this sentence from Harris.
If it is an honest friendship, then why do you need to be "just in case" when meeting offline? How can you be afraid of "someone coming to meddle in your own business"?
It's a pity that although Randy is not a fool, he who took the initiative to meet him must have been knocked unconscious by Harris by that time.
Even if I realize that something is a little bit wrong, I will just think that I am overthinking it.
"River, did you... did you see what was written on this?"
"No...Randy, this stupid kid not only agreed to meet, he was as happy as going to the amusement park."
Seeing this, Su Xiao suddenly thought of
Something I heard someone say before:
--There was a person who was having a great time chatting with others online, and decided to meet the netizen offline. As a result, the netizen cut his waist.
Randy This situation is quite similar to others.
The only difference is that while someone lost his waist, he lost his body directly.
