The daily life of American drama detective

Cross Villa.

After receiving a call from Monica, Chuck rushed to the hospital first, and then came here. After getting out of the car, he looked up and saw Beth Harmon standing at the door.

"Where's Linda?"

Chuck came over.

"She's not in good spirits, so go back upstairs to rest."

Beth Harmon looked him in the eye.

"everything is fine?"

Chuck looked her in the eye too.

"Mr. Cross is dead."

Beth Harmon said lightly.

"Heart attack."

Chuck said calmly: "Just like his ex-wife back then."

"His ex-wife?"

Beth Harmon was taken aback.

"Yes."

Chuck said: "His ex-wife died of a heart attack, and before that, he also bought her a large amount of life insurance.

The last time Linda came to ask for help, she was afraid of the high IQ of the chess grandmaster and asked me to help her.

I checked him out.

So doubt it.

But thinking that with his IQ, he shouldn't use the same method to kill his wife again to cheat high insurance.

Because even ordinary police detectives can think of the problems here.

Even if he was a celebrity, that connection would have been enough to go to a judge and apply for a permit to open the coffin to investigate the death of his ex-wife.

But he is dead now.

It seems I overestimated him.

So now I am 80.00% sure that his ex-wife was also poisoned by him.

Created the illusion of a heart attack. "

Last time, because of Linda's special request, he only intimidated Patrick Cross, and before he got to the point of investigating his ex-wife, the other party had already knelt down.

So Chuck didn't continue.

Beth Harmon asks: "Is it okay to fake a heart attack?"

"of course can."

Chuck reached out his hand to signal Beth Harmon to look into the garden: "Do you know that one?"

Beth Harmon shook her head.

She was so absorbed in chess that she paid very little attention to anything else.

"That's oleander."

Chuck explained: "Beautiful in appearance, but highly poisonous, its sap is dehydrated and ground into powder, and 0.25 grams is enough to kill a human adult.

The cause of death was like a heart attack. He and his ex-wife also had this kind of oleander in their home. "

Beth Harmon was silent.

She thought of Esther, in their few interactions, she often saw Esther playing with this oleander in the garden.

"Is that Linda?"

Chuck asked suddenly.

"No."

Beth Harmon shook her head immediately.

"hope so."

Chuck looked at her: "I know you like her, because she can give you a stable chess playing environment and give you enough freedom.

But her drinking habits will affect you sooner or later.

Although you are smart, you are still too young to feel deeply about it.

Once you choose to try, it may feel good at first, and even feel that it can help you play chess in a trance.

But I'm going to tell you.

Alcohol, like any other calf, can damage your nerves, adding up and eventually destroying you.

So if you want to truly reach the top of the chess champion, stay away from all foreign objects such as alcohol and calf, and truly discover your own potential is the only way. "

"I got it."

Beth Harmon looked at him: "I will not be affected by Linda's bad habits, and Mr. Cross was not poisoned by Linda.

She was with me all the time, as you said, it is only possible, and it is also possible that Mr. Cross did die of a sudden heart attack. "

"As long as Linda agrees to an autopsy."

Chuck said: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't agree, as long as I ask, the judge will issue a warrant.

Whether it is the toxin of oleander or other toxins, it can be detected by one inspection.

I hope she volunteers for an autopsy. "

"why?"

Beth Harmon was puzzled: "You had a conflict with him, and now he is dead, how did he die, does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter to me."

Chuck nodded and looked at her: "But it's important to you, because the alcoholic Linda may hinder your growth, but it's not enough to be a major threat.

But if Linda, who is an alcoholic, breaks through the bottom line, then her mentality will change drastically.

From being weak and deceitful in the past to being a dangerous person.

If you follow her like this, your life is still under her control, and sooner or later you will be in danger of unavoidable consequences. "

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

When Beth Harmon asked the question, she felt she had the answer: "It's because of Peggy, isn't it?"

"You can be friends."

Chuck raised his decorative glasses: "A rival with equal strength is a blessing in life."

"My opponent is you!"

Beth Harmon's eyes suddenly became stubborn.

"No, not me."

Chuck shook his head.

"You think I'm unworthy?"

Beth Harmon looked at Chuck stubbornly: "You think I can't beat Peggy?"

"That's up to you to prove it yourself."

Chuck looked at her: "When you win the world championship and beat Peggy three times in a row, then I will play with you."

"it is good!"

Beth Harmon agreed immediately, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

outside the villa.

The three of Esther drove away. Sitting in the back seat, she kept fiddling with a headset. Seeing Linda looking at her frequently, she smiled and stuffed another headset into Linda's ear.

What came out of it was the conversation between Chuck and Beth.

"what!"

Linda exclaimed, and looked at Esther in fear: "He really saw it, what should we do now?"

"You heard it too."

Esther laughed and said, "Even Detective Chuck suspected you the first time, let alone other policemen, because Patrick is dead, and you are the biggest beneficiary, aren't you?"

"But I didn't kill..."

Linda said weakly.

"Can you prove it?"

Esther smiled evilly: "No, you can't! Now you just hope that this detective Chuck will die soon, so that everything will be settled.

No one will be chasing this anymore, your husband has a heart attack, and you can inherit everything and live happily with us. "

"how do you want to do it?"

Linda struggled with her eyes.

"Are you sure you want your precious daughter Beth Harmon?"

Esther looked at her.

"What does that have to do with Beth?"

Linda was startled, and subconsciously looked at David who was driving: "Detective Chuck is not that kind of person!"

"Not what kind of person?"

David sneered and said, "As long as you look good, age is not a problem, it's a treasure! As long as you're a man, you can't resist this kind of temptation."

"Yes."

Esther said with a smile: "Actually, at first I thought that I would let Beth seduce this detective Chuck and take some wonderful videos, so that everyone will be their own and there will be no accidents.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that either.

After all, I also secretly investigated him.

I found out that he really likes to play with children.

That in itself speaks for itself.

But now it doesn't have to be. "

"why?"

Linda asked subconsciously.

"He's so smart!"

Esther's eyes turned cold: "I'm not sure to control him, so he'd better die!"

With that said, he took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed it decisively.

boom!
A violent explosion sounded from behind. Linda turned around in horror and saw a burst of flames shooting into the sky.

"Baby, you!"

David, who was driving, was also in a cold sweat.

He never expected that he would go directly to the explosion, and when did Esther arrange it?How did you get all these explosives?
"It's a pity it's daytime now."

Esther turned around and lay down on the back seat to look back. The smoke from the fireworks made her smile innocently and cruelly.

"It must be more beautiful and spectacular at night, isn't it?"

Both David and Linda were stunned and didn't answer for a while.

"Ok?"

Esther immediately turned her head and looked over, using a nasal voice to convey threats.

"you're right."

Linda paled.

"Baby, you have the final say!"

David wiped his sweat and laughed along with a pun.

Because of his brother's death before, he not only replaced his brother, but also had a much closer relationship with his two nieces than before.

He just won.

This kind of plot is only available in the upper class of the United States and the island country of Rejing. He only heard about it in the past, but now he can personally experience it.

He was proud of the spring breeze, and his psychology had changed for a time, and he felt that he was in control of everything.

But seeing the violent explosion, his heart trembled again and again, and then he realized that in the future family, the real final say is not him, but Esther!
"No pity for your precious Beth?"

Esther looked at him with a half-smile.

"No pity, no pity! How can she compare with you?"

David complimented him sincerely.

The beautiful thought for Beth had long been blown away by the explosion, at least now there is absolutely no thought.

"I also think that a family of three is the most stable and happiest family."

Esther smiled sweetly: "There are many Beths who seem out of place, but now they are the best..."

Speaking of this, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

"what happened?"

Linda has been paying attention to her face, observing words and expressions, and doing her best to survive.

"Hurry up!"

Esther stared at the back of the car and growled at David.

"Yes!"

David was the most obedient at this time, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he kicked the accelerator and drove the car to the end.

Esther continued to lie there, watching the back.

But I saw a car chasing here at a faster speed.

"damn it!"

David also saw it from the rearview mirror, and exclaimed in horror: "It can't be the police, right? How could it be so fast?"

"Even worse!"

Esther said with a livid face, "It's that Detective Chuck!"

"impossible!"

David cried, "How could an explosion like that not kill him?"

At this moment, the car that was catching up from behind suddenly got closer.

Esther's eyes are good, and she has already vaguely seen the people in the car behind through the car window: "It must be the damn Beth! She gave him a warning!"

"Beth isn't dead either."

Linda turned around in surprise.

"She's dead, I said!"

Esther gritted her teeth, and the pistol reappeared in her hand.

The two cars continued speeding one after the other.

in the car behind.

Chuck drove with a calm expression. Beth in the back seat had shock and fear remaining on her face. It took a long time to look at Chuck's calm eyes in the rearview mirror, and she recovered and murmured.

"Are we still alive?"

"With me here, what can happen?"

Chuck said lightly.

"..."

Beth Harmon was speechless for a moment, and she, who was always indifferent, suddenly felt and understood the feeling of Little Sheldon when he faced Chuck.

However, she was not in the mood to complain about this. She turned her head to look at the aftermath of the explosion behind the car, and her thoughts immediately returned to before the explosion.

At that time, she was still making an agreement with Chuck, just when she wanted to say that if she won, Chuck would grant her a wish, Chuck suddenly hugged her without saying a word.

Then he rushed directly to the nearest back door, and opened it without slowing down as he approached the door.

Instead, he turned slightly sideways and moved her out of the way to avoid hitting the back door.

What shocked her even more was that the back door did not stop Chuck from bouncing him back, but was directly smashed by Chuck sideways.

Just like that, Chuck hugged her and rushed out of the villa as if without barriers.

Just when she finally reacted and wanted to ask, the explosion happened.

In the roar.

She subconsciously hugged Chuck tightly, letting Chuck quickly lead her away from the explosion point.

"It's Esther! And David! They went through the back door, left for 5 minutes..."

When she was completely away from the explosion point, she reacted and immediately told Chuck the key information.

"Get in the car! Sit down!"

Chuck pulled her off him, tucked her into the back seat, fastened her seatbelt, and gave her a slam on the gas and gave chase.

"how did you do it?"

Beth Harmon, who came back from the memory, asked puzzledly.

"Doctors have strange senses, and so do policemen. All professions that are related to life and death actually have more or less senses of life-threatening dangers."

Chuck said frankly: "As a detective, I have a stronger premonition of danger, isn't it normal?"

"……what should I do now?"

Beth Harmon didn't delve into this issue either, but focused on the most urgent issue today: "Linda is still in their hands."

"Don't worry, I'll catch them."

As Chuck spoke, he blasted the accelerator to the maximum.

If he hadn't taken the second drop of the water of life, all attributes of his body would have been improved again, and his premonition of crisis had also strengthened.

His previous ability to dodge the sniper rifle alone was not enough to keep him safe from such a violent explosion.

Because it only takes a moment to dodge the sniper rifle, and such a large-scale explosion, even if he sensed the danger in advance at the moment of the explosion and detonated, he took evasive actions.

But if the range is too large, his speed still cannot escape in time.

Fortunately, now that the second drop of water of life has increased again, he can become a real man who never looks back at the explosion.

But obviously, he needs more water of life.

Otherwise, if he encounters a greater danger next time, he will not be able to guarantee his absolute safety.

When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chuck had already chased him by car.

Seeing that the other party dared to flee at this time, Chuck slowed down a little, lowered the window, took out a big gun from his waist, turned the steering wheel with his right hand, the car swayed from side to side, and drove four times towards the front. gun.

In the popping sound, all four wheels of the car in front were exposed.

Without the tires, the wheel hub and the ground rubbed violently, the speed dropped sharply, and finally it was forced to stop on the side of the road.
