The city had a long history and featured many old but functional buildings. For instance, Hobart's police station was located in a dignified old building.

Li Du and the others got off the bus, and a group of journalists gathered outside the police station to take photos of them.

Godzilla covered his face with his hands as he usually did, and Brother Wolf covered his head with his clothes.

At the sight of this, the reporter said, ”Ladies and gentlemen, what we now see are the main culprits of the child kidnapping case.”

The reporter's misunderstanding made Li Du, Hans, and the others angry. They hurriedly turned to the police officer accompanying them and asked, ”How could this happen?”

The police officer stopped the reporter and explained, ”You are wrong. They are not the suspects. They are the ones who discovered the crime.”

Li Du looked back at Godzilla and Brother Wolf and said, ”What are you two doing?”

Godzilla put down his hand with a chuckle. ”I'm just used to doing it.”

Brother Wolf resolutely did not put down his clothes and said, ”I cannot be on television.”

The cause and effect of the incident were explained, as Li Du discovered from watching the news.

About three weeks ago, four-year-old Howard, who lived in Sydney, followed his mother to his grandmother's home in Kendall, New South Wales. This was the first time the child had gone there. No one knew that day would become a nightmare for the family.

Around 10:30 a.m., Howard was wearing his favorite Superman suit and playing in the front yard. Just when his mother returned to the house to pour some tea, the little guy went missing. They searched the whole house looking for Howard but did not find him.

The police and some local residents combed the area around the grandmother's home, even using dogs and helicopters, but failed to find any trace of Howard.

Howard's case caused a huge stir in Australia, and the whole country was following it. Several TV stations reported on the case, and this was how Li Du had originally heard about it.

In the last two or three months, there had been frequent cases of missing children in Australia. Howard was the eighth child who had been lost. The police had failed to find the children and had a great deal of pressure on them about the matter.

Now that Howard and the other four children had been spotted together, Hobart's police could breathe a sigh of relief. The huge child abduction case was wrapping up.

That was the reason why the police were so friendly to Li Du and the others. Li Du and his team were their saviors. If the police had not been able to solve the case, some of them would have had to resign.

The case for the missing children had almost been closed because such cases were not uncommon in Australia, and a significant number of people within a wide range of ages and lengths of time missing had been lost for more than a decade.

According to the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre (NMPCC), more than 38,000 people went missing in Australia each year, which was about 104 people per day.

However, while 95 percent of them could eventually be found, there were about 1,600 people who could not be found.

The NMPCC played an important role in Howard's case as well as the other missing children's cases. They were hardworking and persevering, and were very concerned about the case.

So when Howard and other children were recovered, the organization's backbone came to Hobart, as did the media from all over the country.
