The daily life of American drama detective

"I didn't kill him!"

Under the mayor's persistent gaze, the bald assistant could only look at the detective Chuck, who had long been rumored to be able to read people's hearts.

"It's a lie."

Chuck said bluntly, "Is the reason you killed him related to the ceremony?"

This time, instead of talking to the bald assistant, the expression in his eyes fell into Chuck's eyes, and he already had the answer.

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

The balding assistant simply looked directly at Chuck.

As the mayor's assistant, he has access to a lot of information, and he has serious needs, so he actually knows more about the detection methods of Detective Chuck than ordinary people.

He knew that even though Chuck could detect whether others were lying through micro-expressions, it was one thing to know a lie, but quite another to guess the specific content of the lie.

So as long as he didn't ask the right questions and found evidence based on the answers to these questions, he could still be safe and sound.

"Is there a video of the original ceremony?"

Chuck looks at the mayor.

"Have."

The mayor nodded.

His assistants will record all of this kind of attendance at the ceremony as part of their political achievements and publicize it, and of course they will archive it.

"Dennis..."

As soon as he spoke, the mayor knew something was wrong, so he picked up the phone and called another assistant, asking her to turn on the video.

"Why don't you go back and take a look?"

The mayor suggested after seeing the duration.

"No, there will be an answer soon."

Chuck watched directly at ten times speed.

The mayor looked at the completely invisible picture in the video and was shocked: "Can you really see it like this?"

"here!"

Chuck ignored him, watched for a while, and then canceled ten times speed, and the video showed the mayor giving a speech.

"This time capsule is a giant metal vacuum bottle with messages that will be left to our children's children's children.

Oh, I see our guest of honor coming.

From now on, 100 years from now, our descendants will interpret what the oldest person in the world is today.

I wrote a letter to future generations.

I also had my family and staff do the same.

Finally, I also invited the oldest old man to write his life story, and I included his copy.

I hereby promise.

If you live another five years and I'm still in office, we'll dig up this gem and add another page to your book.

what do you think?
See you in five years? "

In the video, the oldest man in the world shook hands with the mayor: "This is a promise!"

"What's wrong with that?"

The mayor looked at Chuck puzzled.

"The secret is in this letter."

Chuck rewinds the video to the part where the mayor is holding a pocket to receive a letter from one of his own people, pointing to the expression on the bald assistant's face when he pulls out the letter from his pocket.

"What secret?"

The mayor couldn't help but glance at the bald assistant.

"Probably criminal evidence."

Chuck looked at the bald assistant: "Just take out the time capsule and take a look."

"You have no court authorization!"

The bald assistant couldn't bear it any longer and raised his voice. Seeing that the mayor's expression was a bit wrong, he persuaded in a low voice: "They don't have the authorization of the court, and they don't have the right to do this."

"I have!"

The mayor was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I agree to take out the time capsule."

"Randy, take him with you."

Chuck pointed to the bald assistant.

"You have no right to..."

The bald assistant just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Randy: "No, we now suspect that you are related to multiple murders, and have the right to detain you."

Everyone came to the place where the time capsule was buried, dug out the time capsule, opened it, and took out the envelope belonging to the bald assistant.

Randy opened it and read it: "On December 1989, 12, I killed Darren Foley in my car, I will never forgive myself, God forgive me, signed Dennis Can Burr."

As he spoke, he shook the letter in surprise: "This is a confession!"

"Darren Frye, 17, was hit and killed three years ago by the driver in a hit-and-run."

Chuck said.

"Dennis..."

The mayor shook his head in disappointment, and then said in puzzlement, "But why did you kill Miles Honnings and the security guard?"

"The reason is obvious."

Chuck reminded: "Yesterday was Dennis Honnings' 115th birthday, five years have passed, and you are still in office.

So according to the agreement, you have to restart this time capsule that was supposed to be released 100 years later, and it happens to have his confession in it. "

"Steven, please, how long have you known me?"

The bald assistant could only look at the mayor for help.

"Obviously I had no idea you were such a person!"

The mayor cut straight.

"It was an accident, I swear!"

The bald assistant still didn't give up.

Because although the evidence of the crime is overwhelming, if the mayor is willing to help him, not only can he reduce his sentence, but he can also live a little easier in prison.

This is the most critical.

Because during his years as the mayor's assistant, he has fought many high-end house of cards fights.

For his opponent, he likes to use one sentence as the strongest impact to crush the opponent.

"Don't admit defeat? Do you want to go to prison and become the bride of a strong inmate?"

Whenever this sentence is said, the opponent who still wants to resist for a while will change his face and surrender completely.

Because there is an unbreakable truth in it.

And very painful!

But now he was caught for a crime and was about to be thrown into prison.

Even though he is tall, mighty and bald, in the eyes of those strong inmates who don't have enough meat and vegetables, these should not be considered shortcomings.

Because being a newcomer is enough.

Besides, because he is the mayor's assistant, he is rich and powerful, and he is well maintained.

Now he only asks the mayor to intercede and arrange a good prison and cells for him.

He really doesn't want to be someone else's bride!
"I was drinking and I don't remember hitting anyone and when I woke up I found the fender was dented and there was blood and hair on it and I thought it might be an animal and I prayed to God it was a animal……"

Randy stepped forward directly, handcuffed him, and then he looked at Chuck with some doubts: "I have a question, why did he kill people?"

Seeing the mayor looking at him in surprise, he quickly explained: "I know, it's because the time capsule is going to be released. He is worried that the crime will be exposed, but when the time capsule is released, it is just an addition to the article about the longest-lived old man." One page, and he will not open and read other people's letters, so there is no need for him to kill two people in order to cover up."

"..."

The bald assistant whose hands were handcuffed was taken aback for a moment.

"You found Huadian."

Chuck looked at Randy, nodded and said: "He really doesn't need to do this, but if he has a better mental quality, he should think that even if he really opens the time capsule that day, he will never open other people's letters.

Because those letters belong to personal privacy and are written to future generations.

Now only 5 short years have passed, there is no need to open it at all.

He just got too scared and did stupid things. "

"The poor oldest old man, and that security guard."

Randy shook his head and said, "They were actually killed for this kind of thing."

Then he felt something was wrong again, and looked at the bald assistant with a pale face in confusion: "It's still wrong, why did you write this letter five years ago?
Didn't you anticipate today?
Do you not believe that the oldest old man in the world can live another 5 years?
Still not convinced your mayor will be re-elected? "

"..."

The bald assistant's face became paler, and he tried to explain to the mayor, who also had a somewhat unsightly complexion.

"Steven, I believe that you can be re-elected, and you also know that I believe in you and hope that you can be re-elected.

I just didn't expect a 110-year-old man to live for 5 years.

And I'm so stupid!

I was too terrified of possible exposure to do all this. "

"You really don't look like an American."

Chuck looked at the pale bald assistant and shook his head.

"Why do you say that?"

Randy asked curiously.

Chuck didn't explain.

But the mayor had deep approval in his eyes.

Everyone knows that Americans who have committed a crime go to church most often, and just repent and continue. What kind of confession is there?

This is so un-American!
Randy arrests the stupid, bald assistant, and the case is over.

Chuck did not comfort the mayor who had caused such a scandal, and left directly.

If this kind of thing happened, it would be almost impossible for the other party to be re-elected, and without this position, the mayor would be nothing.

The new home of Professor Alicia Harper.

"Boss, you are back."

Seeing Chuck coming back, Lisa, a big girl from Texas, immediately greeted him happily, looking at Chuck with her husky-like eyes.

Chuck nodded at her.

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, surrounded Chuck and talked about today's events: "I made breakfast and lunch for Alicia, and she liked it very much. We were a little bored in the afternoon, so she asked me to drive her to Ping An Walked around town…”

Chuck listened and went upstairs.

Professor Alicia Harper heard the movement, watched them come in, and asked with a smile: "How is the case?"

"solved."

Chuck explained briefly.

"Wow, boss, you are really powerful!"

Big Texas girl Lisa immediately wowed.

Professor Alicia Harper looked at the exaggerated Texas girl Lisa with weird eyes, especially when she looked at Chuck eagerly with her husky-like eyes, the feeling was even more weird.

"What will happen to the assistant mayor?"

Professor Alicia Harper could only suppress the weirdness in her heart and asked casually.

"Shouldn't be someone else's bride."

Chuck said frankly, seeing that Professor Alicia Harper was puzzled, he explained: "The mayor will help him as long as he thinks about it, because he would rather kill people than expose his crimes. Do not choose the easier way."

"What's an easier way?"

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, asked curiously.

"Get the mayor out of office."

Professor Alicia Harper reacted immediately.

"Correct."

Chuck nodded: "There are two conditions for opening a time capsule, one is that the oldest old man lives another 5 years, and the other is that the mayor is still in office.

As the mayor's assistant, as long as he wanted to, he could actually let the mayor step down very easily. "

"Compared to killing people, this may be more appropriate."

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, shook her head and said: "But if the mayor is resigned, his career will also be frustrated. Most people have a fluke mentality and won't do that."

"That's why I say he's not American."

Chuck said: "Choosing this way of confession from the very beginning is very abrupt. Even if the oldest old man does not live to be 115 years old, or the mayor cannot be re-elected, it does not mean that this is the only way to expose the crime.

On the contrary, if you want to be exposed, you have already been exposed.

Those enemies who want to find clues, or young people who are looking for excitement, they may dig out this time capsule at any time, and check what secret content the mayor and family assistants wrote in it for gossip. "

"Only in the eyes of the boss, they are stupid."

Lisa, a big girl from Texas, admired: "Those policemen would never have imagined that there is such a possibility."

When Professor Alicia Harper saw this scene, her amorous eyes were full of helplessness.

After the big Texas girl Lisa was assigned by Chuck, she couldn't help but look at Chuck: "What are you going to do with this assistant?"

"Lisa is an excellent research subject."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

"..."

Professor Alicia Harper was speechless.

Blind people can see the excellence of Lisa, a big girl from Texas.

She also knew that Chuck was not shy about this, but being so frank still made her not know what to say.

"Do you have any additional scientific suggestions?"

Chuck looked at her.

"what?"

Professor Alicia Harper was taken aback for a moment, and then looked away uncomfortably under Chuck's gaze.

"Do you know the changes in Ping'an Town?"

She didn't dare to think too much, so she could only change the subject.

"know."

Chuck nodded.

"So you like it a lot, don't you?"

Professor Alicia Harper couldn't help asking.

"The sample diversity of scientific research objects can lead to better scientific research results."

Chuck said: "But the premise is that it conforms to the basis of scientific research. I believe in natural selection and my own choice, but I don't believe in other people's choices."

"Other people's choices are sometimes excellent."

Professor Alicia Harper laughed.

She sort of understood that a plastic surgeon like Dr. Brennan is one who defines and chooses beauty based on his own aesthetics, which is completely out of Chuck's eyes.

The next day.

Bergen County High School.

The pale and beautiful girl Maria walked in the corridor with her head down, not daring to look at the men and women leaning on both sides of the corridor talking and laughing.

Compared with these cool students, she who doesn't know her own beauty seems a little inferior.

Suddenly she tripped over something and fell directly to the ground, with the books in her hands scattered all over the floor.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."

A naughty male student stood in front of her, holding back a smile and apologizing without sincerity.

The others burst into laughter immediately.

"Maybe she should look at the road when she walks."

Some people even laughed out loud.

"Maybe you should shut up and think about that news."

At this time, a short figure appeared in front of Maria, and turned back at the boy who laughed at her.

"Leonard Hofstadter."

The naughty senior student looked down at the short junior student, his eyes narrowed, threatening and mocking.

"Why, it's been a few months, and you're still scaring people with that evil Est? You still have a photo with her in your pocket?"

Having said this, everyone laughed.

"That's what Howard does, I Leonard Hofstadter, never have to do that!"

Little Leonard raised his chin and proudly took out a photo from his pocket.

"That's Detective Chuck."

"I heard that he is a good friend of Detective Chuck."

"The last time Detective Chuck came over, he crushed the rugby team's football for him. It's too scary. I can't afford it."

Everyone was talking in a low voice.

The naughty student looked at the group photo of Little Leonard stretching out in front of his face, and wanted to maintain his aura, but seeing the expressionless Chuck on the photo, he was persuaded by his friends, so he pointed at Little Leonard, left without saying anything harsh.

Evil Esther is already in jail, and has been for months, so they already feel like it's none of their business.

But Chuck smashed the balls of many football players for little Leonard, but it has been spread in Bergen County High School, so that anyone who thinks of this, no ball bullies little Leonard.
