The daily life of American drama detective

Doodle.

When Lisa, a big girl from Texas, stopped to explain the huge changes in Ping An Town to Professor Alicia Harper in detail, a car drove up, honked its horn, and staggered in front of Lisa's car.

The windows are opposite.

After shaking it down, the face of a thin middle-aged man was revealed.

"Dr. Brennan."

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, looked sideways and immediately recognized the person coming.

"Lisa, I saw your car, so I came over to say hello."

Dr. Brennan explained with a smile, while looking at Professor Alicia Harper in the passenger seat: "Who is this?"

"This is my friend Professor Alicia Harper."

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, introduced: "Alicia, this is Dr. Dan Brennan I'm talking about."

"Hello."

Professor Alicia Harper nodded politely, looked over the mountains, through the steep mountains, and landed on the passenger seat of the opposite car.

There sat a beautiful girl with a pale face.

"This is my daughter Maria."

Seeing Professor Alicia Harper's gaze, Dr. Brennan leaned back with a smile, completely letting the girl in the passenger seat out.

"Hi."

The pale girl Maria pursed her lips, and greeted the strange big sisters with a smile.

"Hi Maria."

Compared with the reservedness of Professor Alicia Harper, Lisa, a big girl from Texas, has a much more enthusiastic tone and expression.

"Where is Professor Harper?"

Dr. Brennan's eyes could not help falling on Professor Alicia Harper's face.

"Princeton University."

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, took the initiative to explain: "Alicia is a genius physicist."

"It's amazing."

Dr. Brennan looked at the face of Professor Alicia Harper, and exclaimed in his mouth: "My daughter Maria, if only I could be like Professor Harper..."

The three women present were a little strange when they heard this.

The pale and beautiful girl Maria couldn't help but look at her father, then lowered her head.

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, gave Dr. Brennan a strange look.

Professor Alicia Harper was thoughtful, but the smile on her face faded.

Dr. Brennan also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and quickly made amends with a smile: "Her studies have always been good, I hope she can go to a world-renowned university like Princeton University, if she can stay in school in the future and become a professor like Professor Harper ,that would be great."

“Maria is awesome!”

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, tilted her head, and praised from the bottom of her heart to the girl in the passenger seat of the opposite car who hung her head and said nothing.

The girl responded with a forced smile.

"I won't bother you, we'll talk again when I have time."

Dr. Brennan took his leave and drove away.

"Let me just say, Alicia, you're who almost all of us want to be."

Lisa, the big Texas girl, sighed.

Professor Alicia Harper didn't respond to this kind of praise, but said thoughtfully: "Lisa, don't you think this Maria's face is a little too pale?"

"well enough."

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Snow muscles and red lips, this is very beautiful."

"You mean she did it on purpose? It might be beautiful, but it's too unhealthy..."

Professor Alicia Harper was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "And I always feel that the overall look of her is a bit strange, it seems..."

"It's like what?"

Seeing that Professor Alicia Harper stopped talking here, Lisa, a big girl from Texas, hurriedly asked.

"Aster."

Professor Alicia Harper slowly said a name.

"Aster?"

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, was stunned, and then her husky-like blue eyes showed surprise: "Oh! It's really a bit like that kind of girl with fair skin and beautiful eyes but timid eyes.

It stands to reason that there is such a father who can make money, and his own conditions are so good, he should be the type of heartthrob and queen bee in school.

Wherever you go, you have the temperament of a confident queen.

How could Maria be the complete opposite. "

Speaking of this, what did she think of, and looked at Professor Alicia Harper in disbelief: "Alicia, you said that she would not really be like Esther, would she have such an evil personality? Now she is just ready to commit a crime at any time. camouflage?"

"I do not know."

Professor Alicia Harper shook her head: "Perhaps only Chuck knows."

there.

After Dr. Brennan's car leaves.

In the car.

There was silence.

Dr. Brennan looked ahead and drove seriously.

The girl Maria in the passenger seat looked up at her father from time to time, but got no response.

"dad."

The girl Maria couldn't help calling out.

"Ok?"

Dr. Brennan looked back at her now.

"It's nothing."

The girl Maria hesitated to speak.

"Did you see it?"

Dr. Brennan didn't ask, but just said to himself: "Professor Harper is worthy of your emulation, look at those eyes, that nose, those ears, those lips...it's just perfect. "

The girl Maria's eyes lost their brilliance in an instant, and she couldn't help but glance at the sunshade makeup mirror in front of her, and looked at herself in the mirror.

In the mirror, there was a glimmer of haze in her eyes.

"Honey, your birthday is still a few months away, do you want to receive a gift in advance?"

Dr. Brennan didn't notice all of this, and said to himself while driving.

"miss you!"

The girl Maria looked back at herself in the mirror, and looked at her father in surprise.

She is already in high school, and the gift she is most looking forward to now is a car.

After all, as a country on wheels, a car represents the scope of a person's activities, and it is another shelter from the wind and rain besides home.

For a young man, a car is definitely the best gift.

Her only girlfriend had already driven to and from school.

But her family's conditions are so good, but she still squeezes the school bus every day.

Now she thinks that the birthday present that her father is going to give her in advance is a car.

So the unhappiness just now disappeared instantly.

"Come to my office after school tomorrow."

Dr. Brennan glanced sideways at his daughter.

"Okay."

The girl Maria nodded happily.

police station.

Chief's Office.

"Chuck, we checked, and there were calls every night in the two weeks before Miles Hornings was murdered, threatening him."

Randy said.

"The people in the nursing home don't know?"

Chuck asked the key.

"know."

Randy complained: "But they don't care, they think it's just a prank, or the second oldest man in the world sent someone to scare him."

"Even after his sudden death."

Chuck said blankly.

"Even after his death."

Randy was also speechless.

There were threatening phone calls for two consecutive weeks beforehand, and then he died on his 115th birthday. There were so many reporters outside waiting to report, and everyone in the nursing home said it was a natural death.

There seems to be no doubt at all.

Even the police and doctors say so.

This is the treatment of the oldest old man in the Guinness Book of World Records.

If it was an old man who had entered a nursing home, no one really cared about how he died.

And even if they knew that they had been murdered, they probably didn't know it, because that would affect the reputation of their nursing home and affect their income.

"Look up this nursing home."

Chuck reminded: "See if there are any other old people who died 'naturally'."

"it is good."

Randy agreed: "The suspect's fingerprints and DNA were indeed found at the murdered security guard's house, but after comparing with the criminal database, there was no match, which means that the suspect had not committed a crime before."

"It's not entered into the crime database."

Chuck corrected.

"Correct."

Randy nodded: "Maybe he once committed a crime, but it was not entered into the crime database for one reason or another. We also went to the pictures taken by those reporters and saw people in security clothes entering and leaving.

The figure is not the same as the security guard who was killed, so it should be the murderer.

But he was wearing a hat with his head down and we couldn't see his face, so we couldn't identify who it was. "

"Play it."

Chuck ordered.

Randy immediately turned the computer screen to Chuck's eyes and played the recorded footage at that time.

A tall man in a security uniform walked into the nursing home with his head down.

"It's the mayor's assistant."

After reading it, Chuck gave the answer.

"what?"

Randy was stunned, and wanted to ask Chuck how he saw it, but when he saw Chuck's eyes, he stopped asking for the time being, and directly called up the report that the mayor's assistant appeared, pointing to the tall bald man on the report The man asked, "You mean him?"

"Correct."

Chuck nodded and stood up.

"where are we going?"

Randy quickly grabbed his jacket and followed.

"Go to City Hall."

Chuck said.

"We don't have any evidence, is that appropriate?"

Randy reminded.

"Ask and there will be evidence."

Chuck said calmly: "I believe the mayor will cooperate."

"..."

Randy was speechless.

He almost forgot.

If it were him, even the chief of police, it would be inappropriate to question the mayor's assistant with this figure.

But this person is Chuck, so he doesn't have so many worries.

After all, the mayor used to be the kind of person who took the initiative to invite Chuck to various parties, but Chuck refused.

town Hall.

"Randy, why are you here?"

When the two walked towards the mayor's office, they saw a tall bald man coming out of it, greeted him proactively, and then looked at Randy in surprise, but glanced at Chuck out of the corner of his eye.

"Dennis?"

Randy called each other a little unaccustomed.

In fact, they had met before, but at that time they called each other 'Director Tischer' and 'Assistant Gambler'.

"This must be Dr. Wolf, nice to meet you."

The bald assistant looked at Chuck with a smile: "The mayor has invited you several times, but you are not available. Now take the initiative to come here. I think the mayor will be very happy."

"He will not."

Chuck said frankly: "You don't even know how."

"..."

The bald assistant's smile stagnated, and then he said with a dry smile: "Dr. Wolf, you really have a cold sense of humor."

"Yes."

Randy nodded and said, "Chuck's cold humor has always been very strong..."

Then he talked about Chuck's cold humor in his eyes, but it was obvious that the bald assistant didn't want to listen to this, and his eyes were wandering.

"By the way, he said another cold humor just now, saying that Dennis pretended to be a security guard and murdered the oldest old man, Miles Honnings."

After talking for a long time, Randy finally came to his senses, looked at the bald assistant and said with a smile: "Then you said you went to kill that security guard again."

"This joke is not funny!"

The bald assistant glared at Randy with a flash of anger.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Randy couldn't bear the glare, so he could only look at Chuck for help.

"Your anger came too fast and lasted too long."

Chuck looked at the bald assistant: "It's time to close it."

"What do you mean?"

The bald assistant didn't want to meet Chuck's gaze, but now he can only glare at Chuck.

"Scientific research shows that emotions take time to build up and release, and so does anger."

Chuck said calmly: "Normal anger needs to be accumulated, and after it is released, it cannot continue to maintain this level of anger, unless it is faked.

You are using your anger to avoid the question you should be answering.

The person in the nursing home who entered under the guise of a security guard and murdered Miles Honnings was you! "

"I do not know what you're talking about."

The bald assistant looked away, as if he was annoyed and laughed: "You are making an unreasonable accusation, I can sue you!"

"You can sue and try."

Chuck said frankly: "But I dare say you dare not."

"What's the noise outside?"

The door of the mayor's office was pushed open, and the mayor walked out frowning. When he saw Chuck, his expression changed immediately, and he stretched out his hand to Chuck with a smile on his face: "Dr. A phone call? Please come in!"

Everyone entered the mayor's office.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the bald assistant self-deprecatingly talked about Chuck's reason for coming: "Steven, do you think they are messing around? Just because my figure is similar to the so-called murderer, they are going to accuse me of murder. Long-lived old man, why? Is it because I took money from the second-longest-lived old man?"

"do you have?"

When Randy heard this, his eyes brightened and he asked. Seeing everyone staring at him speechlessly, he could only explain embarrassingly: "This is also one of the possible criminal motives we deduce..."

"It's ridiculous! Go check my account! I'm confiscating anyone's money!"

cried the bald assistant.

"Dr. Wolf, are you sure it's Dennis?"

The mayor looked at Chuck: "He has no motive."

"Do you have a motive?"

Chuck looked at the balding assistant.

"of course not!"

The bald assistant seemed to be looking in Chuck's direction, but tried not to meet Chuck's gaze, and just argued loudly: "I don't even have an intersection with him, how could I kill him?"

"It's a lie!"

Chuck said, "You guys have an intersection."

"where?"

The bald assistant blinked.

"School Foundation Laying Ceremony!"

Randy suddenly shouted: "Five years ago, at the school's foundation stone laying ceremony, you and the mayor attended together, and invited the local old man with the longest life in the Guinness Book of World Records."

"Yes, I remember."

The mayor also remembered.

"What kind of intersection is this?"

The bald assistant shouted: "We have to attend such a ceremony almost every day, who remembers such an intersection?

And I was with Steven all the time, and left immediately after the attendance, barely speaking to him.

Why should I kill him? "

"Does the reason why you killed him have anything to do with this ceremony?"

Chuck looked him in the eye.

"Steven!"

The bald assistant can only go to the mayor, hoping that the mayor will support him.

The mayor was silent for a few seconds, glanced at Chuck, and said to the bald assistant, "Answer what Dr. Wolf said."

"Look him in the eyes."

Randy added: "He can read people's hearts."

Bald Assistant: "..."
