American TV series Detective's Daily Life

"As I said, you are one of the greatest assets to the Jeffersonian Institution, and your wishes will be carefully considered."

Dr. Goodman smiled and said: "You can try it, but before that, you need to go to Arlington National Cemetery. A corpse that is not in the grave was found there, and you need to identify it."

Seeing that Dr. Bones wanted to speak again, he interrupted directly: "Don't worry, if it is a major or difficult case this time, you can take the opportunity to directly contact Dr. Wolfe and directly start what you said about working together to solve the case. The FBI only The idea of ​​helping out has to start somewhere, right?"

"All right."

Dr. Bones nodded: "I can go there, but the FBI agent doesn't have to be that Shirley Booth!"

"As long as your idea can be realized and you and Dr. Wolf successfully partner, you can use whoever you want to assist at that time."

Dr. Goodman hits the nail on the head when he says, “Fame is everything!”

Arlington National Cemetery.

Located on the west bank of the Potomac River, across the river from the Lincoln Memorial, it is the most famous of the more than 100 national cemeteries in the United States.

Soldiers who died in the war, politicians who died on the job, and people who contributed to the American country are buried here. Tombstones are erected here. Walking here, you can claim to have seen the American dream.

And today, the dream was shattered.

Potomac Riverside.

The FBI cordoned off the place.

When Dr. Bones drove over and showed his ID, he saw Agent Booth saying to the person in charge of the blockade: "She is one of our own."

The person responsible for the blockade simply moved out of the way.

"Are you doing this again?"

Dr. Bones glanced at him.

"Hey, I know that the airport incident is controversial, and I won't argue about who is right and who is wrong."

Agent Booth said solemnly: "There is work here now. I think even you scientists should put work first when it comes to work, right?"

"If this is another trick, you won't succeed."

Dr. Bones said something, but when Agent Booth opened his mouth to speak, he interrupted directly: "Start working now, don't talk about irrelevant things, what do you want me to come over for?"

Agent Booth tugged on his suit and tie depressedly, took Dr. Bones on a motorboat, came to the middle of the river, and lowered an underwater detector.

"Routine gardening, they were digging a pond and a worker found it."

"What should I watch?"

Dr. Bones stared at the monitor.

"Don't worry, it's like watching a movie about the San Fernando Valley..."

While placing the detector, Agent Booth leaned into Dr. Bones' ear and subconsciously started talking dirty.

"What did you say?"

Dr. Bones avoided whispering and looked at the somewhat astonished Agent Booth with a cold face.

"……nothing."

Agent Booth was also shocked to realize that he was in trouble and quickly covered up.

“So in your eyes, I am not only the highly intelligent ‘squint-eyed’ person with the ability to make rigorous deductions as you say, but also the woman in those little movies in the San Fernando Valley who actively entertains you just by saying a few words?”

Dr. Bones said coldly.

"You're overthinking it, I didn't mean it."

Agent Booth focused his gaze on the detector's display.

"No?"

Dr. Bones sneered: "Would you say something like this to your female colleague with such an action tone?"

"..."

Agent Booth was speechless.

He admitted that he would not say what he just said to a female colleague whom he was not familiar with, and he used that kind of gesture and tone, otherwise he would definitely be harassed.

But he just did it.

It's because subconsciously, he brought himself into the male protagonist in the novel Dr. Bones, who is said to be a walking hormone. Of course, Dr. Bones is the heroine. It is not normal for the male protagonist to say a few flirty words to the heroine. Well.

Even if the classic plot from the San Fernando Valley movie is not immediately staged after saying this, it will at least be the dreamy scene of the male and female protagonists flirting with each other in the novel, right?

But what's going on now?

Not only was he irrelevant, but he was scolded sternly by the heroine. This made Agent Booth, who brought in the "walking hormonal hero", very frustrated.

Dr. Bones’ best friend Angela is not here, otherwise Siji, the hexagonal old man who knows no one better than her, would definitely not be able to help but say something popular: “If the filter is on, everything is flirting, if the filter is broken, everything is flirting.” bother!"

The display of the underwater detector has shown a corpse. This time it is not a "suicide" in a traditional American iron bucket, but a "suicide" tied tightly with a fishing net.

Seeing this, Dr. Bones stopped dwelling on the issues of discrimination and harassment for the time being. He looked at the monitor and said seriously: "Okay, this is the crime scene."

After the corpse was recovered and a preliminary judgment was made at the scene, Dr. Bones took the corpse back to the Jeffersonian Institution for further examination.

Agent Booth followed silently.

After being criticized repeatedly, the confidence that had brought him to the leading role was gone, and he suddenly felt like he had nothing to say.

Jeffersonian Institution.

"In addition to the temperature, there are many microorganisms in the river that accelerate decomposition, but they also support black carp and other fish. I found the larvae. I will know how long the corpses stayed in the river through tracking later."

Dr. Jack Huggins, a doctor of entomology, microbiologist, and mineralogist at the Jeffersonian Institution, helped while gossiping: "In your eyes, am I really energetic?"

"What?"

Dr. Bones was stunned by this turn of events.

"He's talking about the people in the book."

Best friend Angela smiled.

"It's not you in the book!"

Dr. Bones denies it.

"Of course it's him, we're all here."

On the side, a young man with a youthful complexion said leisurely: "To clarify, I am no longer a beast."

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows proudly: "It has been long gone. Spencer is very envious of this."

Everyone looked at him speechlessly.

The young man is Zach Eddy, an assistant to Dr. Bones, who is studying for two doctoral degrees. The Spencer he refers to is Dr. Spencer Reed, a young genius with a high IQ, but also a relatively distant man. Recently, they were good friends.

Compared to the iconic Chuck, Reed and Zach are more topical. Reed is far ahead of Zach in academic achievements, but he is completely defeated by Zach in life.

One of them is the younger Zach, who is no longer a beast. This is where Reed is far behind, and what Zach is most proud of.

"No, neither of you are."

Dr. Bones glanced at Agent Booth who was standing aside: "The characters in the book are all fictional characters and have nothing to do with anyone. People in reality cannot be compared with the characters in the book in any way, because the characters in the book The characters never disappoint.”

"That's not necessarily the case."

Best friend Angela glanced at Agent Booth and said proactively: "When you meet Dr. Wolfe, you might find that there are still people in reality who can never disappoint people."

"Dr. Wolfe?"

Zach shouted in surprise: "Dr. Buenleiner, do you want to see Dr. Chuck Wolf?"

"Be happy."

Best friend Angela smiled and said: "Dear and Dr. Wolf are simply a match made in heaven. They are both top scientists in their fields, and both are interested in detective work. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and one is a current male detective. A future female detective, the thought of them teaming up makes me excited."

"marvelous!"

Zach said happily: "I am Dr. Buenreiner's assistant, so won't I also become Dr. Wolf's assistant in disguise? Maybe I can study for another doctorate with Dr. Wolf."

"You should first get your two Ph.D. degrees."

Dr. Bones reminded: "Otherwise you won't even have a chance to talk to Dr. Goodman."

Dr. Goodman, the curator of the Jeffersonian Institution and Museum of Natural History, has a habit of talking only to doctors in his own territory.

Zach is studying for two Ph.D.s at the same time, but he still has the identity of Mr. Zach Eddy and does not have a doctorate title. Dr. Goodman never responds directly to what Zach says, even if Zach repeatedly says that two Ph.D.s are studying, it is considered as barely. A Ph.D.

"He's not a law enforcement officer, so what's the use of working with him?"

Agent Booth couldn't help but scoff.

"ha!"

Best friend Angela immediately laughed: "Although Dr. Wolfe is not a law enforcement officer, do you really think that after Bones cooperates with him, you still need to consider whether there are law enforcement officers to help?"

"..."

Agent Booth was speechless.

As the most famous consultant in the bureau, except for those old-timers who don't care about their work at all, who would not know the name of Dr. Chuck Wolf!

"Indeed not."

Zach answered without blinking: "Dr. Wolfe is a consultant to many law enforcement agencies, and the FBI works directly with the BAU. Spencer often shows off to me about their work together. It seems that I will also have the opportunity in the future. I told him, it was great!”

"Dr. Chuck Wolf is really awesome."

Dr. Jack Huggins, who has always been proud and deeply believes in conspiracy theories, nodded: "Not long ago he sent both the female senator and her congressman father to prison."

"If I catch them, I will send them to jail. This is a basic matter of fair law enforcement."

Agent Booth said unconvinced.

"I'm not finished yet."

Dr. Jack Huggins looked at him: "Sending them in is indeed awesome, but what's even more awesome is that after offending a family of politicians, billionaires, and transnational criminal groups, he is still alive and well. This is the best thing." Awesome!"

"That's because we, the law enforcement officers, are there to protect this country."

Agent Booth shook his head: "That's what's truly commendable."

"Yes, it is precisely because of your protection that Commander Lincoln and Commander Kennedy have so much imagination."

Dr. Jack Huggins scoffed.

"What did you say?"

Agent Booth was instantly furious, went straight over, and grabbed Dr. Jack Huggins by the collar.

"Let go!"

Dr. Bones scolded: "This is our laboratory, not your FBI boxing room."

Agent Booth had veins popping out on his forehead, but he finally let go, turned around and walked away.

"what happened to him?"

Zach was puzzled.

"Because I hit him where it hurts."

Dr. Jack Huggins rubbed his chest and explained with a smile: "His surname is Booth, and the assassin who assassinated Commander Lincoln more than a hundred years ago and blew up the Commander's head was named John Booth."

"OMG!"

Best friend Angela exclaimed: "Booth's ancestor is actually that John Booth?"

"Yes."

Dr. Jack Huggins nodded and said with a smile: "You can't hide anything from me. He is a direct descendant of John Booth."

"Isn't it right?"

Zach questioned: "If that's the case, how did he pass the FBI background check and become an FBI special agent in Washington, DC?"

Civil servants in any country are subject to background checks. A person like Agent Booth, whose ancestor was responsible for assassinating Lincoln, the greatest president in American history, is theoretically impossible to enter a government agency, let alone Not to mention that the FBI is the largest law enforcement agency in the United States. It still performs duties in the capital. It is a position with a certain probability of protecting the commander-in-chief.

"good question!"

Dr. Jack Huggins smiled meaningfully: "You asked the most critical point, yes, how does someone like him pass the FBI background check? The answer is, don't look at what they are saying, but... Look what they did.”

"What's the meaning?"

Zach has a superior IQ, and his emotional intelligence, according to the world of American dramas, is very low, and he is relatively slow to respond to the world.

"In the eyes of ordinary people, John Booth may be an unpardonable person."

Dr. Jack Huggins explained: "But in the eyes of some people, he is the most trustworthy loyal minister in this country. He defended the true 'freedom' of this country with a gun. The influence of most ordinary people is far away." It is far inferior to that small group of people, so his descendants will naturally not fail the background check."

"alright."

Dr. Bones was also stunned for a while, but she knew that Dr. Jack Huggins liked to throw out all kinds of conspiracy theories. She already had a certain immunity. She shook her head and said Jack Huggins The doctor put these conspiracy theories behind him: "Stop talking about these things, let's focus on the corpse and listen to her grievances as much as possible."

Agent Booth walked outside the laboratory and took off his tie irritably, his face looking gloomy and scary.

Today's series of troubles had made him unable to control his temper, and Dr. Jack Huggins came to poke his biggest worry again.

If it weren't for his good self-control, he would have fought with his old fists.

"Are you OK?"

I don't know how long it took, but Dr. Bones came out and glanced at him: "We have a preliminary conclusion. Do you want to go in and take a look? If you have no objection, we can invite Dr. Chuck Wolf to come over and handle the case together. "

"fine."

Agent Booth laughed at himself: "I think starting from today, I will never lose my temper again, because nothing will be worse than what I encountered before..."

At this moment, his cell phone rang. After he answered the call, his face, which had softened, became ugly again. After hanging up the phone, he swore: "You must be joking!"

"Any questions?"

Dr. Bones asked curiously.

"No problem, in fact you should be satisfied."

Agent Booth said coldly: "The Chuck Wolf you are thinking about doesn't need you to take the initiative to find him. He came here himself. At the invitation of the Ellers, he took over my case!"

"Which case?"

Dr. Bones' eyes lit up: "Don't tell me it's the disappearance of the female assistant related to Senator Bethlehem?"

"……how do you know?"

Agent Booth was stunned.

"You'll know when you come in."

Dr. Bones did not answer directly, but walked in with a little surprise on his expression.

"This is?"

Agent Booth followed in and watched a three-dimensional projection of a woman in mid-air. When he saw the other person's face clearly, his expression changed drastically.

"That's right!"

Dr. Bones nodded and said: "Angela used the skeleton we repaired and programmed the computer to project a three-dimensional projection of the human body that fits the skeleton. It is the poor missing girl Corio Eller who is said to be related to the Senator from Bethlehem."

"This is impossible!"

Agent Booth was unwilling to accept it, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had just learned from Colonel Ted Eller that Chuck had taken over the case. Dr. Bones and the others had just been talking about wanting to cooperate with Chuck. But the next moment, the poor girl who had been missing for almost two years was revealed. , the corpse appeared, or did he personally lead people to dig it out?

"Dr. Huggins has verified that the body stayed in the river for one summer and two winters, which matches the time of Corio Eller's disappearance. The conclusion I inferred from the body, the age of the victim and his habit of playing tennis, It also matches her, we are conducting further DNA testing, but the results should not be wrong."

Dr. Bones explained and couldn't help but glance at his best friend.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Angela is very sensitive to her best friend’s gaze.

"He is the person in charge of this case."

Dr. Bones glanced at Agent Booth, and then continued a little strangely: "And I just learned that Dr. Wolfe was invited by the victim's parents to take over this case."

"OMG!"

Angela exclaimed in surprise: "You and Dr. Chuck Wolf are so destined... This is simply God's will! I think the male protagonist of your next book will really change! That's great! "

Agent Booth's face turned livid.

"Get Dr. Wolfe over here quickly."

Zach urged.

Dr. Bones looked at Agent Booth, and everyone followed her gaze. Agent Booth took a deep breath and could only make the phone call with a livid face.

It didn't take long.

Chuck came over.

"Dr. Wolfe, I'm Dr. Temperee Buenleiner, and this is Dr. Jack Harkin, Angela Montenegro, Zach Eddy."

Dr. Bones introduced to Chuck: "And this is FBI agent Shirley Booth."

Chuck glanced at the dark-faced Agent Booth, and nodded to Dr. Bones and Zach Eddie: "Chuck Wolf!"

"OMG!"

The flashing smile on Chuck's face was caught by Angela. In surprise, he could no longer maintain his reserved face, and shouted with a nympho face: "He smiled, he actually laughed. !”

"Yeah, he actually laughed."

Zach was also stunned.

Because from the information he knew, Chuck had always been unsmiling. According to Dr. Reed, that was cool, so cool!

But what does he see now?

Chuck actually laughed!

wrong!

Not only did she smile, she smiled at him!

Zach was so happy that he picked up his phone and sent a message to his friend Dr. Reed. This will be something Reed will always envy him in the future.

"nothing."

Chuck said calmly: "I'm happy today."

"..."

Agent Booth's face turned darker and darker. For some reason, he felt that Chuck's fleeting smile, which was being fussed over, seemed to have something to do with him.

No matter how much his imagination ran wild, he couldn't figure out why.
