The number of people in the coffee shop decreased by half after confirming that Tony Stark was in Chicago, and the shop was never full again, but there were not many customers coming and going, and the shop itself had fans.

Elsa didn't continue to talk to the busy Selina, and she also felt that she couldn't wait for the person she wanted to wait here, so she decided to go home and rest first.The body is in a special period, even if she has always been very healthy, it is uncomfortable during the special period.

However, when the subway was drowsy, Elsa received a call from the lottery committee.

Cinderella's eyes lit up instantly: "You mean, I can get the bonus now?!"

The power of money is great, so Elsa went to accept the award as soon as she returned to New York from Gotham.

At any rate, it's a grand prize, but the procedures are a bit cumbersome.Elsa, who had no idea what to do, could only obey the person in charge, took pictures and signed, and chose to receive all the bonuses at once.

After the middle-aged bald short person in charge persuaded Elsa to be invalid, he shirked that the bonus would take time to calculate, and he would also need to pay a huge amount of taxes at one time, so he had to wait.

At that time, Elsa felt that it was a windfall anyway, there was no need to divide it into several years, and it didn't matter to pay taxes, so she agreed to the other party's argument.

Now, she's about to get the money?

Elsa's depressed mood because she failed to keep Tony changed instantly. She was brimming with a happy smile, but she got a bolt from the blue when she arrived at the lottery committee.

The balding middle-aged man had a greasy expression on his face, which was very subtle: "Miss Saron, I'm sorry, you are underage. According to the regulations, minors are not allowed to buy lottery tickets, so we can't cash out the lottery prize money to you."

Elsa's expression was blank.

What does it mean that minors cannot buy lottery tickets?Did she suddenly become an adult the moment she bought a lottery ticket?Also, did he mention it when he came to exchange for the first time?Elsa refused to accept it!

But Cinderella, who lacked words, could only bite her lower lip. She couldn't find any words to refute for a while. The lottery ticket in her hand was crumpled by subconscious fingers. Flat folds.

The expression on the bald man's face was very smug, and he was completely different from when Elsa came to him before.He looked at the silent gray-haired girl, complacently: "Why don't you give me what you have? I'll help you figure out a way. I'm not sure, and I can give you some comfort money."

Elsa gave him a hard look, thinking that this man was the most annoying guy she had ever seen.The stench emanating from the inside out is simply disgusting.

"You want to impersonate my lottery ticket?" Elsa narrowed her eyes, while using her ability to activate the recording function of the phone, she also activated the monitor that was originally a decoration, allowing it to focus on taking pictures of the middle-aged bald man.

The bald middle-aged man shook his head, not bothering to hide his complacency: "Little girl, you can't talk nonsense, we act in accordance with the regulations. The law clearly stipulates that minors are not allowed to participate in lottery gambling. Our lottery committee is not allowed to distribute bonuses to minors."

"But you didn't say that when I came last time," Elsa complained. "You didn't tell me that you had to let an adult pick it up in person. He's not here for something. If you told me that day, I wouldn't Will come to pick it up. Let him come by himself."

Cinderella secretly kept a cautious eye and said so on purpose.Anyway, she was so silent when she came last time, she just said what the other party said, and there was no excuse.

The bald man smiled wretchedly: "If you insist on saying that, I can't help it."

Elsa: How angry!

Her eyes widened involuntarily, and she was full of anger: "You...you are a liar, you lied to me when I came last time! The last time I said it was for the limelight, this time I said it again to cheat my lottery ticket Bonus. You wait! I...I'm going to the police station to report you!"

The bald man shrugged: "Go, do you have any evidence? I have been following the rules, but I was not clear about the last interrogation. Anyway, I didn't get the money myself. What am I afraid of?"

Elsa blushed with anger at his shameless face, but couldn't find anything to say.

In the end, she could only leave the lottery committee angrily, but as soon as she went out, she received another strange call downstairs.

She didn't even look at it, and answered angrily: "If you have something to say, hurry up!"

"...Is this Miss Saron? This is the Child Welfare Committee." The other end of the phone paused for two seconds, "Do you want to talk about your guardian?"

Thinking of the bad things about the guardian in the past two days, Elsa gritted her teeth and affirmed very simply:

"talk!"

***

The staff of the so-called child welfare committee did not let Elsa go to their place of work, but made an appointment with a quiet shop near the court.

Elsa changed trains and changed trains, and when she arrived, it was dark, and it had already passed the off-duty time of most office workers, and it was even time for dinner.

The shop I made an appointment with was a very quiet Chinese-style restaurant. As soon as Elsa entered the door, she saw three people sitting at a table in the corner.

Because she saw Rhett yesterday and was forced to recall what happened that day, Elsa recognized at a glance the lady sitting on the right side facing her.

—Emily Prentiss.

It should be called this name... Elsa thought uncertainly, she hesitated for a moment, standing at the door, wondering if she should go in or not.

I always feel that meeting them one after another...is there such a coincidence?

Or, was it aimed at her?Things may not be that simple.

But by this time Emily had seen her.

The female FBI waved at her with a gentle smile.Elsa made up her mind and walked towards the table.

Speaking of which, Elsa absolutely wronged Emily this time.It was true that people from the Child Welfare Committee were looking for her, but Emily notified her friend who worked there that she had found Elsa.

Child welfare in the United States is doing very well.

After the bombing incident with the possibility of terrorist attack has been alarmed to a higher level, the handling of related incidents will be more rigorous.

On that day, the three members of the Saren family were confirmed dead at the same time. At the same time, according to interviews and registrations, it was also confirmed that an underage girl survived in the family.

The name was supposed to be Elsa Semantha Saren's girl, and further investigations revealed more problems.

Because minors who became orphans were involved, the Child Welfare Committee also participated in the investigation and later took over with full authority.

But this child seemed to disappear mysteriously in that explosion, without a trace.

Until Rhett met her yesterday.

Garcia checked again and found a complete chain of evidence. She started from her hometown, stayed in the UK for two months, and then returned to the US from the UK. It seemed so simple and clear.

If Emily hadn't met Elsa before, had paid attention to her before, and knew that the child's information was zero, they might have been deceived. As for this, Emily didn't tell her friends.

In fact, when collecting testimony later, people in the town mentioned Sasha, the dead mistress of the Salem family.

Sasha's mysterious actions every once in a while, although no one expected it, some people still saw it, and they naturally brought it up when they were under investigation.Later, I discovered Elsa's residence in the forest-Vivian's magic did not eliminate the smell, and the police dogs were still very useful.

After being informed by Emily that the suspected missing minor was found, her friend immediately called up Elsa's file-this kind of thing will also be networked across states.

The kind woman saw what Elsa might have encountered, and made up a lot of brains.The first time she saw Elsa, the fat but warm woman gave Elsa a big hug.

"Son, you are suffering."

The woman smiled softly, and introduced to the girl a set of meals that would be served immediately on the table. Looking at the gray-haired girl whose eyes were almost glowing, she was very considerate: "Eat slowly."

This is Elsa's first time eating Chinese food.

Her taste buds were instantly conquered.The taste of this shop is very authentic, and it takes care of foreigners who don't know how to use chopsticks.Elsa ate with a spoon to great satisfaction.After most of the delicacies had filled her stomach, Elsa put down the tableware, whispered "Thank you for the hospitality, I'm full", and then burped.

Elsa: ...I have no face.

The gray-haired girl's originally flushed face flushed instantly, and she was about to get under the table in embarrassment.

There are four people at this table, two women and one man, mainly watching Elsa eat.Seeing that the little girl was so ashamed, no one laughed. The fat staff member made a rescue and began to introduce himself: "Don't be nervous, my name is Amanda Kool. I am currently in charge of your affairs. Call me Amanda. good."

She then introduced the other two people to Elsa: "This is Emily Plantis, you have met."

Elsa nodded obediently.

"this……"

"Amanda," the kind man interrupted softly, "I want to introduce myself to her."

The man's dark brown hair was gray and he was no longer young, but he looked very warm.He stretched out his right hand to Elsa: "I'm Benjamin Parker, you can call me Ben."
