The daily life of American drama detective

"Are you OK?"

Little Leonard holds a photo with Chuck and pushes back the group of bullies. Then he looks at Maria who is sitting on the ground packing up her books and preparing to get up. Looking at Maria's beautiful face, the pride and pride just now turned into embarrassment and embarrassment. giggle.

"It's okay, thank you."

Maria stood up and smiled at little Leonard reluctantly.

Although it seemed that she was saved by a hero, but the hero was a child, which made her not feel much better psychologically, but her eyes fell on the photo in Leonard's hand.

"Actually, you don't have to thank me, mainly Chuck."

Little Leonard noticed Maria's gaze, and touched the back of his head very modestly: "They are afraid of him."

"Are you really good friends with him?"

Maria looked at the grinning little Leonard and the expressionless Chuck in the photo, a little hesitant.

"That's what Chuck is."

Little Leonard has long been used to the suspicion of everyone, and explained: "He takes pictures with everyone like this, look how close we are!"

"..."

Maria looked at and pointed at the photo and kept analyzing and explaining how good the relationship between herself and Chuck was. Little Leonard didn't know what to say. He glanced at Chuck in the photo again, looked away immediately, and then hurried away up.

"...My name is Leonard, you can find me next time if you need something."

Little Leonard looked up and saw that Maria had disappeared, so he could only whisper to his back in frustration.

In the women's bathroom.

Maria sat in the toilet, took out a small mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror: "Maybe I should find Chuck through him."

"Don't look for him!"

Maria in the mirror lost her inferiority complex, and her eyes were full of domineering and cruelty.

"He should know what's up with us."

Maria panicked.

"You know what's up with us!"

Maria in the mirror sneered.

"I don't know...you are my second personality?"

Maria said weakly.

Because of Esther's case, various concepts such as mental illness, second personality, blackening, and evil personality have spread a lot.

"wrong!"

Maria in the mirror said with hatred in her eyes: "I am the main character, and you are a cowardly wretch who is completely under his control!"

"dad……"

Without explaining, Maria knew who she was talking about in the mirror.

"We are so beautiful and perfect. We should live in the center of the world and be sought after by everyone! And look at you now, with low self-esteem and cowardice, and being bullied like this, shame!"

Maria in the mirror scolded herself.

"Professor Harper and Lisa are beautiful and perfect."

Maria couldn't help but refute.

Maria in the mirror paused with a fierce and proud expression, and glared fiercely at herself who gave these two examples: "That's what you think! As long as you listen to me, you are more perfect than them..."

Seeing herself outside the mirror was a bit unbelievable, Maria in the mirror added: "At least I won't be weaker than them. If you don't believe me, watch it when the time comes, and I will prove it to you! We who are confident are the most beautiful!"

"what should I do?"

Maria was a little moved.

"You know what to do! Look at me, do like me! Align your palms with mine."

Maria in the mirror had a much more gentle expression, and stretched out her hand to the mirror, signaling Maria to do the same.

Maria was very hesitant.

"Why are you still hesitating? I am you, and you are me. Let me control my body to show you the real way of life, and you can feel everything yourself."

Maria in the mirror stared at herself: "Don't you want us to endure this useless and humiliating life?"

Maria lowered her head, slowly raised her palm, and put it against the mirror.

Just as it was about to be pasted, there was a heavy knock on the door: "Who is calling inside muttering, are you ready?"

Maria woke up instantly, put away the mirror, opened the toilet door, lowered her head, and hurried out.

new York.

Monica's apartment.

"Chuck, I can't reach Ross."

Monica said worriedly: "It's been two days, and I don't know what he's doing. I can't make a phone call, and I can't find him at his apartment. I went to the museum and said I was on leave."

"do not worry."

Chuck said frankly: "No one would want to commit a crime for him."

"Don't say that."

Chandler was reading the newspaper at the side. Hearing this, he put away the newspaper and said with a smile, "Maybe he has some dinosaur genes, and someone from Jurassic Park kidnapped him."

"Don't joke!"

Monica glared at him.

"I'm not joking."

Chandler shrugged, then pointed to the headlines on the newspaper, and said solemnly: "It can't be because he was the lucky one who won the largest prize in Powerball history two days ago, and was unfortunately kidnapped Bar?"

"The time is right."

Monica said unconvinced: "And Rose also buys lottery tickets occasionally."

"The winning address was a gas station on Long Island."

Chandler complained: "Don't tell me, Ross drove there to buy lottery tickets. Does he have a car?"

"..."

Monica was speechless.

"Stop talking!"

Chandler jumped up and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

Monica said unhappily: "We're talking about Ross! Are you not worried about him at all?"

"Didn't Chuck say everything, no one would commit a crime for him!"

Chandler joked: "I guess he probably has some kind of misty rain, and he will be so excited somewhere, instead of looking for him, why not go buy a lottery ticket now!

Speaking of which, the Powerball award this time is too exaggerated, it is as high as 20.4 billion US dollars, whoever wins it will be a real billionaire.

If I get it, maybe I will be able to participate in the General Election this year. "

"You are dreaming!"

Monica complained: "You don't have Chuck's genius brain, and even if you are a genius like Chuck, Powerball with such a mature gameplay is not like other small regional lotteries that can exploit loopholes.

You are more likely to be struck by lightning than to hit the jackpot.

Besides, who laughs at himself all day long?

Is it really the luck to win such a big prize after such a hard life? "

"Oh oh oh."

Chandler raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "I'll just say it casually, don't be so excited?"

"what are you guys saying?"

Rachel and Phoebe pushed the door open and asked with a smile.

"It's talking about winning the lottery and becoming a billionaire."

Chandler laughed.

"Did you buy a lottery ticket today?"

When Rachel heard this, she immediately took out a stack of lottery tickets from her pocket, and said excitedly: "I bought it, I don't know if I can win it!"

"No way?"

Monica looked at Rachel speechlessly: "You are really on top!"

"20.4 billion dollars!"

Rachel's eyes lit up and said: "Why can others hit it, but I can't!"

"Stop talking about her."

Phoebe mocked: "The whole of New York is crazy, and now the gate of the lottery station is full of people, queuing up to buy lottery tickets."

"You didn't buy it?"

Rachel snapped back straight away.

"I……"

Phoebe was speechless.

"How dare you say you didn't buy it?"

Rachel sneered.

"Phoebe?"

Monica looked at Phoebe in surprise.

When Phoebe's bank account suddenly had a lot of money, she didn't let it go. Instead, she went to the bank directly and got more compensation.

She didn't want the money, so she gave all the money to the homeless man. The homeless man looked at her as if she was insane, and the man who was a little scared had to ask her once to be at ease.

So she accepted that the other party bought her a bottle of drink.

When she opened the can, she found a human thumb inside, and the beverage company compensated her $7000 for mental damage.

This amount of money is already huge for ordinary Americans.

But Phoebe doesn't like this kind of unearned luck, doesn't want the money, and ends up taking Chandler cheap.

Because at that time, Chandler resumed his bad habit of smoking, which made all his old friends dislike him. Phoebe used the money to successfully persuade Chandler, who insisted on smoking, to give up smoking voluntarily.

And now, such a Phoebe actually bought a lottery ticket?
Facing Monica's gaze, Phoebe still wanted to insist on her statement, but in the end she looked away, which was almost a tacit acquiescence.

"Oh, Phoebe."

Monica shook her head.

"what happened?"

Seeing that it was broken, Phoebe stopped pretending: "It's not $7000, it's not 7, 700 million, or even 7 million, it's 20.4 billion!!!"

"Yes! 20.4 billion!"

Rachel grabbed her lottery ticket and said longingly, "If I win, I can buy whatever I want without looking at my dad's face, and I can even pay for his credit card bill, it must be very special." interesting……"

Speaking of this, she was a little distracted, obviously imagining that one day she could give her father a rich and famous doctor a secondary card, and if she didn't listen to her, she would cut off his credit card.

"Chuck, I remember you weren't an advisor to the National Lottery Association?"

Rachel suddenly thought of something and looked at Chuck: "Do you know who won the grand prize this time and became the new billionaire?"

"Ha! I can see it. You think you are too slow to buy a lottery ticket. You want to marry that super lucky guy directly, right?"

Chandler pointed at Rachel and smiled.

"Can't you?"

Rachel countered with a smile: "Why, you want to fight me?"

"..."

The corner of Chandler's mouth twitched: "What if this person is Ross?"

"Ross?"

Rachel was taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed in disbelief: "It can't be really Ross, can it?"

"Do you feel like you lost 10.2 billion?"

Chandler sneered: "I knew you should give him a chance, right?"

"Is it true?"

Rachel's expression was extremely tangled.

In the original time and space, she had already had the first wave of love with Ross, and they might have broken up for the first time.

But because of Chuck's appearance, under the butterfly effect, Ross, who had a conflict with Chuck, exposed all kinds of embarrassment and ugliness in advance.

Coupled with the fact that they didn't deal with Chuck, they once reached the point where they didn't see each other.

People tend to get close to the C person in the social center, especially one Rose and another Chuck.

So Rachel, who has a deep understanding of this kind of social rules since she was a child, is still friends with Ross, but she has no subconscious mind for further development.

Until now, no romantic sparks have occurred either.

"Monica thinks so, what do you think?"

Chandler teased.

"Ross has been out of contact for two days, and I'm a little concerned."

Monica said angrily: "I was thinking about asking Chuck to check for me."

"It turned out to be fake."

Rachel was a little disappointed.

"What if it was true?"

Chandler asked.

Rachel didn't speak, but her eyes showed everything, this is 20.4 billion US dollars, she thinks she can.

Ok.

Phoebe on the side had the same expression.

Compared to Rachel who subconsciously didn't respond to Ross, Phoebe had a moment of passion with Ross.

Although he was interrupted by other old friends who suddenly walked into the bar before entering the alley, Phoebe felt that he could also consider Ross if he really won the $20.4 billion prize.

After all, money is a number to a certain extent.

And Phoebe doesn't like money, but she likes numbers~

"I'll have someone check it out."

Seeing that Monica's eyes were still worried, Chuck nodded.

"it is good!"

Monica laughed instantly.

In fact, she wasn't very worried, but after all, it had been two days, and there was such a detective as Chuck by her side, and the two were so close, asking him for help was considered a kind of fun and foreplay.

"Monica, are you not moved at all?"

Rachel looked at Monica puzzled.

"What's so exciting?"

Monica was trying to figure out which weakness to challenge tonight, when she was taken aback by Rachel's question.

"Lottery! Billionaire's wealth!"

Rachel hated the reminder: "I remember you also bought a lottery ticket, I don't believe you are not interested in this at all?"

"I don't care, and that was in the past, and now I don't know if it's suitable or not..."

Monica said, looking at Chuck with a smile in her eyes.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Rachel complained: "Let's buy together, spend more money and buy more, and the probability of winning will be higher."

"You're really crazy about money."

Chandler sneered: "Don't you see that people are showing affection?"

"Show affection?"

Rachel stayed for a while, then followed Chandler's gaze to look at Chuck, and then kept scanning Chuck and Monica. After being reminded by Chandler, she finally came to her senses and said speechlessly: "No Right? Can this also be related?"

Monica smiled without saying a word.

"Chuck, tell me it's okay!"

Rachel looked at Chuck: "Don't tell me, because you are a consultant of the National Lottery Association and get money every year, not only you can't buy it, but even your girlfriend can't buy it?"

"Don't understand?"

Chuck looked at her.

"..."

The corner of Rachel's mouth twitched, and she complained, "It's a good thing I didn't become your girlfriend, otherwise I wouldn't even have the freedom to buy lottery tickets."

"You think beautiful!"

Monica threatened with clenched fists.

"Aren't my conditions worthy?"

Rachel raised her head high, stretched out her hands to show her face and curves, and looked at Chuck proudly: "Chuck, tell me!"

"In line with scientific research benchmarks."

Chuck nodded frankly.

"See?"

Rachel looked at Monica proudly, and was thrown down by Monica. The two women fought for a while, and after they separated, Rachel smiled while arranging her hair.

"Don't worry, I don't want to be his girlfriend just because I can't buy lottery tickets. If one day I win 20.4 billion, I can do whatever I want!"

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Chuck took Monica out of the apartment and drove towards the villa on the mountainside.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Monica was wondering why Chuck was parked on an empty lane, when she saw a police car approaching and blocked a car behind Chuck.

"Someone is following us?"

Monica has been with Chuck for so long, and she has seen a lot, so she immediately reacted and her face changed.

"Stay in the car and don't move."

Chuck confessed, stepped out of the car, nodded to the police who greeted him, and walked towards the following vehicles.

"Don't get me wrong, Dr. Wolfe, it's one of my own."

The person in the car stretched out his hand to indicate that he was not malicious, and then walked out in the standard procedure of the police. After confirming that he was harmless, he let him go.

"Dr. Wolfe, let me introduce myself. I am a private investigator hired by the National Lottery Association."

"National Lottery Association?"

Seeing that the scene was under control, Monica also got out of the car. Hearing this, she was surprised and said, "Since you are our own, why did you follow us?"

"Because Ross Geller!"

The private detective took a deep look at Monica: "Dr. Wolf, should you understand what happened?"

"The jackpot is Rose."

Chuck said calmly: "You were hired to investigate whether I was related to his winning the lottery."

Monica: "..."
