Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 147 147. Meeting Again, An Accident

Killing someone, venting his anger.

Dean drove four to five hundred miles from dusk to deep midnight, left Nebraska and entered Des Moines, the capital of Iowa.

In the middle of the night, the clear and silent Des Moines River flowed through this bustling city, which also soothed the last trace of restlessness in Dean's heart. He drove along the riverside road looking for hotels, Hilton, Westin, Waldorf Astoria, IKEA Home passing by... while passing a small family hotel.

A Chevrolet appeared in the small parking lot outside the hotel, and its pure white and flawless shell was illuminated by the bright and warm light of the nearby street lights.

Isn't this the car of Leo Bernard's family?

What a coincidence, right?

He drove non-stop at full speed for a day before arriving in Des Moines. Yesterday, during the conversation between Mike and the family, he learned that they planned to go to Purdue University while traveling along the way, and they should not be in such a hurry.

According to common sense, they should be left behind by themselves.

"Did they lie like me last night?"

Dean grinned, parked the car and entered the hotel to rent a room.

The hotel is not big, and there are only five adjacent rooms in total. He opened the God's perspective to search through the wall, and soon found a warm scene in the corner room.

On the bed on the left, Camille leaned on her husband Leo's arms and hugged his waist tightly; on the other bed, her daughter Julie fell asleep sprawled out, her bare feet naughtily poking out. Blanket.

The three of them were sleeping soundly, and the sound of regular and slight snoring echoed in the bedroom.

"This is fate, tell Leo the truth tomorrow morning."

Dean thought so, and went into the room to rest.

……

Early next morning.

Dean deliberately creates a chance encounter in a hotel restaurant.

"Leo, Julie, you live here too? What a coincidence!" Dean ate a fried egg in one bite, and waved to the father and daughter who were walking down the wooden stairs on the second floor.

"Huh? Detective Asia, why are you here?" The girl in a pretty yellow dress rubbed her confused eyes, her fluffy blond hair rolled inwards on both sides of her neck, looking like a doll, "You didn't go inside?" Yellowstone National Park tour in Braska?"

"I changed my mind," said Dean, taking a bite of the bread.

"Dude, are you following us?" Leo jokingly walked to the left of his table and sat down, then ordered two breakfasts from the busy administrator at the front desk.
"Guess right." Dean grinned, showing his big white teeth, "It's hard to meet a kind person who is willing to order three breakfasts for me. Naturally, I have to hold my thigh tightly."

The girl put her arms around her chest and let out a coquettish snort, and gave Dean a big roll of her eyes to express her strong dissatisfaction with Laipi's behavior.

But Leo smiled indifferently and said generously,
"Then I will continue to invite you for breakfast today."

"It's better to be respectful than obedient." Dean smiled more happily, "By the way, where is Mrs. Camille?"

After he fell asleep last night, he didn't notice when the woman left the room.

"She hasn't exercised for a week, so she goes out for a morning run around the Main River at five o'clock. Well, she has always maintained the habit of morning running." Leo said proudly,
"So self-disciplined? No wonder you can maintain a perfect figure."

The three chatted over breakfast, and Dean took advantage of the opportunity to ask about yesterday's doubts.

"That's right, we shouldn't be in a hurry," Leo shook his head and sighed after eating a spoonful of fruit cereal, "but Camille somehow canceled the plan for sightseeing along the road and asked me to drive to Purdue University as soon as possible, woman's The idea is the spring weather. But who made her the president of the family?"

Leo shrugged mockingly, "Our deputy can only obey orders."

"It's clearly promised to give me a wonderful graduation trip, and I will stay in each state for a few days!" Julie stirred the biscuits in the cereal vigorously, complaining, "Now the journey is less than halfway. Boring dozing trip, if we knew it, we should have just flown in California!"

"Dear little Julie, why don't you beg your mother later?" Leo looked at his daughter with a half-smile.

The other party stopped stirring the oatmeal, bit his pink lips and said angrily,
"Leo! You're a man, why can't you just argue with your wife and take the initiative to help your daughter realize her little wish? Camille has never been so dishonest before!"

"Do you want to lose your father forever?"

……

Dean smiled and enjoyed the scene of father and daughter bickering, with thoughts and hesitation in his eyes, he interjected after a while,
"Leo, your family has such a good relationship."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Especially you and your wife." Dean raised his voice,

"Haha, to tell you the truth, Camille and I have been married for 20 years, every day is as passionate as when we first met, we spend our honeymoon every day, we send love kisses in the morning and evening, and we almost never quarrel..." Ao was showing off incessantly, and his eyes behind the glasses were full of color, "Dean, have you got a girlfriend at a young age? Do you need me to teach you some tricks?"

"I'm listening."

"You have to keep improving yourself. Like me, you have a perfect body, rich knowledge, and most importantly, the ability to earn money. At that time, you don't need to strike up a conversation. Women will naturally be overwhelmed by your personal charm and become obsessed with you ..."

"Just put gold on your face." Julie tapped the glass cereal bowl with a spoon, rolled her eyes like a flood, "Camille often said that you are not romantic enough, lack passion, and you always like to fight with a woman like her. Win or lose!"

Leo blushed as if his throat was stuck in phlegm. He glanced at Dean nervously, and then looked at his daughter pleadingly, as if begging her to save himself some face.

Julie pursed her lips, looked up at the wall clock on the wall of the dining room, and muttered softly, "It's 07:30, why hasn't Camille come back for breakfast?"

"Maybe the scenery in Des Moines is so beautiful that she forgot the time?" Leo thought optimistically,

And Dean turned his eyes between the father and daughter, cleared his throat,

"Ahem, Leo, you are older and have rich experience in life. Can you help me solve a doubt?" Dean put the knife into the mirror-like plate and looked at the man sincerely.

"Little brother, just ask."

"It's like this. I just met a friend recently. He married a beautiful wife who is comparable to a beauty pageant champion. He formed a happy family and has a lovely elf daughter. He and his wife have been married for many years. They are so loving and harmonious People are envious." Dean said after deliberation,
"But then one day, I accidentally saw this friend's wife hugging another strange man outside a hotel..."

"You mean the wife betrayed her husband?" Leo frowned, eyes disdainful, and blurted out a sentence of contempt, "Cheating is the most shameful act."

Julie took a sip of the juice, and put forward the opposite opinion innocently,

"There are more scumbags cheating on school than girls who flirt with other girls. So what if you forgive a girl once?"

"You haven't even had a boyfriend, what do you know?" Leo reprimanded his daughter in a rare and serious manner, and firmly concluded, "There is no room for betrayal between husband and wife. Once it happens, there is no other way but divorce. .”

"Please listen to me," Dean continued. "This friend has always been proud of being able to marry such a wife, and thinks he is the happiest man in the world."

"Then should I tell him the truth and break his peaceful and happy life?"

After this question, the restaurant fell into an eerie silence.

Leo touched the glasses on the bridge of his nose, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

The girl put her blond hair behind her ears, and Jiaohan pointed to Dean's mouth with her finger,
"Don't say it. More than ten years have passed in peace. As long as the husband doesn't know, they can still live happily. The family will not be affected in any way. Sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness."

"You're wrong," Leo corrected his daughter's erroneous thoughts with a serious face, "Any normal man would not want to be kept in the dark by such a scandal, even if it becomes very painful, he will 100% choose to know the truth! So Dean, you should take the initiative to tell that poor man the truth."

Dean stared into Leo's eyes and nodded meaningfully,
"I think so too, but I'm afraid that telling the other party directly will irritate him, so I can only remind him in this euphemistic way, tell a story in front of him, and hope he can understand what I mean."

"Your consideration is not unreasonable." Leo smiled brightly, obviously admiring Dean's handling. "As long as this man is not too stupid, he will definitely understand what you mean."

Julie next to her realized the problem instantly, her face was full of astonishment, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she could stuff an egg.

As soon as Leo turned around, he noticed the extremely shocked eyes of his daughter, and suddenly got stuck. His gentle cheeks turned into a liver color, and the beard at the corner of his mouth trembled.
"Is this fool friend of yours called Leo Bernard?"

Dean nodded heavily.

"Nonsense! Scoundrel!" Julie stood up like a pussycat, walked to Dean, and punched him viciously, as if to beat him, "You are slandering Camille, she is the world The best mother and wife in the world, she will never step on two boats!"

"Many cheating men and women acted like model husbands or wives in family life before they were found out." Dean calmly refuted the girl's words.

And the client, Leo, struggled and smiled,
"Dude, you're funny, are you kidding me?"

Dean shook his head sympathetically.

The man was stunned as if he had been acupunctured, he gasped and covered his chest and leaned back on the chair.

And Julie looked at her father distressedly, and then asked Dean loudly,

"You say my mother cheated, you have to show evidence!"

"Evidence?" Dean pointed to his eyes. "The night before yesterday, outside the Hotel Papa Mac, I saw Camille flirting with a strong man with jeans."

"The man in denim overalls?" Leo's voice trembled like an untuned string, his face full of frustration, "Driving a red Ford pickup, right? He was also at Papa Mike that night. After dinner, so he snatched my Camille in front of me?"

Dean nodded.

Leo covered his face with his hands and asked loudly incomprehensibly,
"Why? Why? Betraying a relationship of more than ten years, just to fool around with a wild man I met on the road. What kind of magical power does that guy have?"

"Who can say for sure? People's hearts are the easiest to change." Dean stood up, patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were full of pity for the wronged, "Cry, buddy, it will make you feel better when you cry!"

"Shut up!" Julie gouged out Dean's eyes like a knife, still stubborn, "I remember that guy, he looks like a chimpanzee, his body hair is thick and smelly, how could Camille like him!"

Julie couldn't help but hugged her father's neck from behind, her tender little face pressed against his rough face with stubble,

"You just believe Dean's one-sided words so much? Are you unwilling to wait for the mother who loves you the most to come back and confront her face to face?"

"Confrontation?"

Leo took a deep breath, his face turned red and then pale, and his eyes fluctuated. After a long time, he forcibly suppressed the pain in his heart and looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was 45:[-].

……

The father and daughter finally decided to stay put and wait for the family to return.

Driven by intuition, Dean stayed with them in the hotel.

But the development of the matter was unexpected. The three of them waited patiently for more than two hours, from 7:45 to 10:[-], and they didn't even get Camille's shadow.

"Camille has never been running for so long, she should have been back at eight o'clock!" Julie walked to the door of the hotel, looked at the bustling long street with people coming and going, and said worriedly, "She will never let us Worrying for nothing!"

Leo frowned, temporarily suppressing his dissatisfaction with his cheating wife,
"Listen, Julie, you stay in the hotel and wait, I'll look around the Des Moines!"

"No, I'll go together!"

"You two, listen to me..." Dean's words made the hearts of the father and daughter tremble, "Camille's long absence may have something to do with the man in the denim strap."

"You mean that guy kidnapped Camille? Camille is in danger?" Countless plots of crime thriller movies popped up in Leo's mind, and he turned around in a panic, and knocked his left palm with his right fist. "Call the police!"

"I know the efficiency of COP. Adults with normal body and mind, if they don't disappear for more than 24 hours, they will not be easily dispatched."

"Then what should we do?" Julie restrained her dissatisfaction and looked at Dean pitifully.

"You two know that I also work as a private detective part-time." Dean's eyes flickered, and he reached into his black windbreaker with his right hand, and took out the private detective license that he had just obtained from the space, and his thumb just covered it The state name for Nevada, "Now will you hire me to find someone?"

The father and daughter, one big and one small, were taken aback by this strange scene, then subconsciously nodded,
"That's it, buddy, you go out with me to find Camille!" Leo couldn't wait to pull him out, "By the way, sign the contract, how much should we pay you?"

"For the sake of treating me to breakfast, I'll give you a 0.1% discount." Dean glanced slowly over the father and daughter, and smiled mysteriously, "One hundred dollars."

After this sentence.

Dean got his wish and saw the system prompt——

You took the initiative to trigger a new event - cheating wife.

The Leo family launched a graduation trip for their daughter.But during the happy trip, his wife Camille had an affair with an unidentified man, and did not return to the hotel after leaving early this morning.

The corner of Dean's mouth curled up, it felt good to actively trigger the event, but he had a little surprise, the difficulty was medium, and there were supernatural factors.
