The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 218 Good Doctor: Sean, Mom Hopes You Are Like Chuck

"Dr. Wolfe."

"Ms. Lockhart."

Chuck spoke on the phone with the female boss of Lockhart & Gardner, Leonard Jr.'s aunt, Diane Lockhart.

"..."

Jane looked at Chuck in disbelief as if nothing had happened, then looked at Monica who was holding a kitchen knife with an expressionless face, rubbed her eyes, and seriously doubted whether she was having a nightmare.

But no matter how much she rubbed and opened her eyes again, nothing changed, so she couldn't help but give Chuck a firm grip, and signaled him with her eyes: "Is it all right with this special meow?"

Chuck pressed her head, which was looking back and forth, and continued to talk to the other end of the phone calmly: "I won't go there, you guys are ready, just start the video."

"That's fine too."

On the other end of the phone, Diane glanced at the elite soldiers of the law firm in the conference room, nodded and agreed to the plan: "Just wait a while."

After hanging up the phone.

"Sure enough, it's different."

Will Gardner, another partner of the law firm, couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, he could be invited by a phone call, but now he can only be invited by video."

"Also added money."

Kailinda, who is always sensitive to income, said leisurely.

"Before he was just Dr. Wolfe."

Mrs. Florrick, a good wife who is well-known throughout the United States, said with a smile: "Now he is Detective Chuck, and he deserves the treatment."

"Bianca's family is not short of money."

Diane said: "Her mother won't save this little money."

"I just don't know if he has any idea about this kind of case."

Will Gardner couldn't help joking: "He didn't have this ethos when he was in college."

"Do you want to go back to college like those hosts?"

Diane sneered.

The three women in the conference room all looked over, and the only man, Will Gardner, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

As soon as this case came out, in the process of dissemination, it was unavoidable to be ridiculed by some vicious hosts and guests. One said that this is the norm in American universities today, and the other immediately echoed that he wanted to return to campus immediately after hearing this.

What about going back to school?
You know everything.

Mountainside Villa.

After Chuck hung up the phone, Jane couldn't help but yelled out: "Chuck, what's going on? Look at Monica..."

Chuck gagged his mouth before he finished speaking.

"Silence."

Chuck reminded: "She can't bear to wake up with a shock now."

Jane stared up at Chuck, who was speaking in a serious manner. She couldn't speak, but she couldn't bear it, she gritted her teeth and couldn't bear it. She could only twist Chuck's leg muscles, walk around the column and move to the position facing the door, her eyes fixed on him. Monica, who was standing there with a knife, yelled in her heart: "Are you putting out the fire or adding fuel to the fire? What kind of Bianca is Monica? Seeing this scene, I'm afraid I will shoot directly."

For a while, there was no sound in the master bedroom. Under the gaze of Chuck and Jane, Monica turned and left.

"How is this going?"

Jian held his breath for a long time, and finally he was able to speak. He took a deep breath for the first time, and then asked in a low voice.

"Sleepwalking."

Chuck frowned.

"Sleepwalking?"

Jane shuddered: "She still has this habit? What if sleepwalking kills someone?"

You must know that they slept together, and now there is a case of a female college student from the University of Chicago shooting and killing her best friend, which is simply too scary!

"I didn't know it before, but now it's obvious."

Chuck said calmly, "Let's talk about it when we wake up tomorrow."

In fact, he knew that this was probably the sequelae of Peggy's hypnosis, which was why Chuck immediately stopped the warning after he realized that Peggy had hypnotized Monica.

The effects of hypnosis are often uncontrollable.

If there is too much hypnosis and the level is too deep, it is easy to spoil the hypnotized person.

Jane still wanted to complain, but seeing Chuck got up and turned on the computer, thinking of Chuck's phone, she changed the subject tactfully: "Are you taking over the case of a female college student in Chicago who shot and killed her best friend?"

"Not to take over."

Chuck shook his head: "I was just hired to identify the parties and help Lockhart & Gardner, which is about to take over, sort out the situation so that I can decide whether to take over the case and what defense strategy to develop after taking over."

"What if it turns out that Bianca did it on purpose?"

Jane couldn't help substituting herself again.

no way.

The sense of substitution is too strong.

"Then tell them Bianca did it on purpose."

Chuck said calmly.

Jane was speechless, and glared at Chuck, thinking that there might be another Monica who was sleepwalking with a knife outside, so she refused to leave, so she just stayed in the master bedroom: "I'm your detective assistant, I'm curious about this case .”

Chuck didn't chase her away either.

It's not that she didn't do it before, but she was right, whether as his detective assistant or one of his long-term strategic research partners, it would be beneficial to learn more about this special case.

Half an hour later, the video request came in.

Bianca, the client suspected of shooting the Eskimo girlfriend, is now in custody, but as a rich man, her lawyer can see her at any time.

"Dr. Wolf, this is Bianca."

Diane was in charge of the case and introduced both sides of the video: "Bianca, this is Detective Chuck. I think you know him too. He's here to help you."

"To help you determine the status."

Chuck corrected.

"Detective Chuck, I know you."

Bianca was in a bad state, and smiled bitterly: "Do you also think I killed it?"

"Bianca, did you kill your girlfriend Heather?"

Chuck looked at her.

"Do not."

Bianca immediately denied it, then met Chuck's gaze, and said with some hesitation: "I mean, I don't know, I don't know what happened at all. The pistol I bought was standing there, Heather was lying in a pool of blood, there were people around the door, it looked like I did it, but I swear I really don't know what happened."

Jane was on the side. Hearing this, she took a breath and touched her neck. Even though the door of the master bedroom had been closed in advance, she still couldn't help but look back and walked over. Chuck kept checking as if he was possessed. Is the door locked.

"Are you on drugs?"

Chuck asked.

"Ah."

Bianca grabbed her hair: "Have you ever heard of sleeping pill style?"

"know."

Chuck nodded: "Do you have hallucinations?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to sleep."

Bianca said painfully.

"Ok."

Chuck nodded and looked at Diane.

Diane comforted Bianca a few words, then hung up the video, and then came out to call Chuck alone: ​​"So, how is the situation?"

"I couldn't tell if what she said was true or not."

Chuck said.

"It's a good thing, right?"

Diane knew something about Chuck's micro-expression polygraph, and she was overjoyed when she heard this: "It means that she didn't kill her, and she is innocent, right?"

Bianca's family is very rich, and their law firm really wants to serve such people. Although they will provide services even if Bianca is not innocent, if Bianca is innocent, wouldn't it be fame and fortune? , Winning is numb, isn't it?

"Can't say that."

Chuck shook his head: "There are two situations. One is that she lied and I can't see through it. The other is that she thinks what she said is true."

"You're saying that she was really broken after taking drugs, and she couldn't remember what she had done at all."

Diane frowned, then said in relief, "That's fine."

When the drug is broken, there is too much room for manipulation.

"So be it."

After Chuck expressed his opinion, he was about to hang up the phone, and then Jane kept saying with his lips: "Why don't you take this case? Let's go to Chicago. I'm very interested in this case, please!" "

Just as Chuck was about to refuse, the watch on his wrist vibrated insignificantly. Chuck raised his decorative glasses and glanced at Jane with the same expression. Under her begging eyes, his voice changed: " It's not difficult to confirm whether she is really lying, just go to the scene to check."

"Dr. Wolfe, do you mean that you would like to come and inspect the site?"

Diane on the phone was very pleasantly surprised.

Although with Chuck's confirmation, she basically prefers that Bianca really doesn't remember anything after taking drugs, but in the face of such a famous case, for the benefit of the law firm, it is best to do it before confirming the takeover. To be foolproof, and then make the most accurate defense strategy to win the lawsuit beautifully.

And Detective Chuck personally came to the scene to investigate, which can make this confirmation more convincing, so why not do it.

Isn't it just spending more money?

She wasn't paying the bill anyway!

"Yes."

Chuck looked at Jane and nodded: "We will go there tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Chuck~"

Jane looked at Chuck with eyes full of emotion.

"You owe me a great favor."

Chuck pushed away Jane who came up softly, and said solemnly: "Now go back and rest, we have an early flight tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

Jane thought about it, it's getting late now, even if she wants to return the favor immediately, she can't do it now, otherwise she won't be able to get up tomorrow morning, and she still wants to go with Chuck to take a closer look at this substituting case , so reluctantly left.

After Chuck waited for Jane to leave, the computer automatically turned on, and a small nine-square video window appeared on the screen. In the middle was Alex working late at night, in an office building in Chicago.

A phone call passed.

"Chuck?"

In the video, Alex, who was engrossed in copywriting, picked up the phone and saw that it was connected in surprise.

"Are you still in Chicago?"

Chuck went straight to the point.

It has been more than a month since they met in Chicago last time. At that time, Chuck was busy and did not pass.

"Yes, how do you know?"

Alex was taken aback, and after asking a question, he remembered that Chuck didn't like to answer questions, so he skipped the question without waiting for Chuck's answer, and said happily: "To be precise, it's here again, the company is here in Chicago There has been a lot of business recently."

"We'll be there tomorrow."

Chuck looked at the rest of the video frames in Jiugongge and said.

"Great, I'll reserve a room for you now."

Alex's icy blue eyes were full of smiles, and then he noticed the words: "Us?"

"Me and my assistant detective, Jane Banner."

Chuck didn't hide.

"Then I will order 1 or 2 rooms."

Alex paused with a smile, but quickly adjusted, still smiling from the heart: "I really look forward to seeing how good this new assistant, Jane Banner, is. I'm happy for you, Chuck."

"Ah."

Chuck nodded and hung up the phone.

In the frame in the middle of the video, Alex listened to the blind tone of the mobile phone, lost his mind for a while, shook his head, picked up the landline and called his hotel, booked the two best rooms, and started to prepare again He continued to work, but then he raised his head and looked at the lady's watch on his wrist. He opened the cover and revealed an old photo. In it were two boys, one tall and one short. , the tall one, lowered his head and dodged his eyes, with a dull expression.

"Sean, I hope that you, like Chuck, will live better and better. It's because mom is sorry for you..."

Alex touched the old photos, tears streaming down his face.

Chuck looked at it for a while, closed the computer, and fell asleep like a vampire in a coffin.

The next morning.

Jane, who hadn't slept soundly all night, got up and got ready immediately when she saw the dawn, and then she saw Monica walking over saying hello: "Hi, Jane."

"Hi, Monica."

Jane carefully looked into Monica's eyes.

"what happened?"

Monica looked at Jane puzzled, touched her face: "Is there any problem?"

"do not you remember?"

Jane stared into Monica's eyes.

"Remember what?"

Monica saw that there was something wrong with her face, but she still walked over to look in the mirror, and then asked confusedly.

"nothing……"

Jane hesitated a little, not knowing whether she should say it or not, but she endured it, but still couldn't hold it back: "You sleepwalked last night, did you know?"

"what?"

Monica was startled, then smiled and said, "Don't be kidding."

"I thought I was joking too."

Jane complained: "But you stood behind me with a knife last night and almost didn't scare me to death, you know?!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Monica was stunned.

"You really don't remember anything?"

Jane thought of the suspected broken Bianca who was going to check today, looked at Monica and smiled dryly.

"If you're not kidding, I don't remember anything."

Monica tried her best to remember, but couldn't remember anything.

At this time, Chuck got up and ordered: "I will send Monica to Peggy first, and you go directly to the airport, and we will meet at the airport."

"it is good."

Jane winked at Chuck, said 'she doesn't remember anything', agreed, and walked away.

"Chuck, is what Jane said true?"

Monica looked at Chuck and confirmed.

"Ah."

Chuck nodded: "I'll talk about this later, I'll send you to Peggy first, and I'll go to Chicago to handle a case later."

"OK then."

Although Monica wanted to know about her sleepwalking very much, but seeing what Chuck said, she could only suppress the matter temporarily, got into Chuck's car, and headed to Columbia.

"Hi, Chuck."

Peggy was very happy to see Chuck, and greeted him warmly. Seeing Chuck's blank expression, her heart moved, she glanced at Monica, and said with a smile: "Mona, I want to drink Coke, can you help me buy a bottle? "

"You've finished all the Cokes in the refrigerator? Children drink less."

Monica muttered and went down to buy it for Peggy.

"So, what's the matter?"

Peggy watched Monica leave, then looked at Chuck with a smile.

Chuck told about Monica's sleepwalking, and then looked at her: "Did you see, the sequelae have already appeared!"

"Sorry."

Peggy stuck out her tongue, and then rolled her eyes: "But it can't be all my fault, if you didn't give her such a big shock, she wouldn't have such serious side effects, so strictly speaking, it was us together that made her suffer." Such."

Having said this, her left lip curled up.

Chuck was silent.

This is not wrong.
