American TV series Detective's Daily Life

"Why isn't it possible?"

The girl Caroline said more seriously: "Are you saying that all three of them are lying?"

"They're just lying!"

After getting over the initial shock, Patrick Kloster quickly adjusted his mood and said with certainty: "Although they are not famous, they all have their own style of playing chess, and this is what they played just now. Chess style!”

"What difference does it make if they are here or not?"

The girl Caroline asked curiously: "If they are playing, then you will have a very big advantage when playing these three unfinished games with Chuck. If they are not playing, then Chuck is using his mobile phone. If you command them, you don't think they can provide Chuck with any 1+1\u003e2 effect, do you?"

After saying this, seeing that the four most powerful chess players in New York looked a bit ugly, she quickly added in a very American style: "No disrespect intended."

"..."

The four most powerful chess players in New York all had dark faces and remained silent.

The more it lacks something, the more it promotes it. The American saying of "no disrespect" is exactly what Chiguo Guoguo says is full of disrespect!

However, they also had to admit the logic of the girl Caroline, because even if they cooperated with Chuck to fight as a team, they had no effect. There was really no difference with them or without them, even if the chess playing style was theirs. , but at the critical moment, the more and more subtle moves they are thinking about are not what they originally planned to make.

"Can't you go down?"

Chuck didn't dwell on this and just looked at Patrick Kloster.

What he wants is to crush the confidence of the proud world champion grandmaster and dissuade the opponent from taking the risk of killing his wife to challenge him. The victory or defeat on the chessboard is only a means, not an end.

If the other party is still scared like this, then the signal Chuck wants to send has been sent, and there is no need to waste time later.

Wouldn't it be nice for him and Anna to play chess during this time?

Playing chess is about a collision of wits, and unilaterally crushing and beating the opponent may have been interesting to Chuck in his previous life, but now he has long since escaped this low-level interest.

"Are you really a fool?"

Patrick Kloster stared at Chuck, still a little suspicious.

Chuck didn't answer, just put his hand into his pocket, and then Patrick Kloster's cell phone rang. When he took it out, he saw the message on it: "Any more questions?"

Jane suddenly showed a knowing smile.

Not only could Chuck read the writing behind his back, but he could also touch-type. Sometimes she had to wonder that even if Chuck suddenly became blind one day, it would not have much impact on him.

Patrick Kloster put down his cell phone and looked at the three unfinished games that should have been ended by him immediately but because Chuck played so fast that he had no time to pay attention to them.

Although the style of play was that of the three most powerful chess players in New York. Before the change, he had enough confidence to end it quickly, but now he was shocked to realize that Chuck was controlling their play. Even though it seemed that he still had the advantage, he was not strong enough. Have the confidence to continue.

What if there is another 'surprise' here that he doesn't know about?

Wouldn't that be a complete failure!

"You really gave me too many surprises today."

After much consideration, Patrick Kloster gave up: "Whether it's your joint efforts or not, this game is no longer clean. I look forward to our real one-on-one match next time instead of a surprise attack like now."

"No."

Chuck shook his head.

"Why not use it?"

The girl Caroline seemed to realize something and said proudly.

"Because the message I wanted to convey has already been conveyed."

Chuck looked at Patrick Kloster: "Mrs. Kloster will go home tonight...I still like your unruly look."

As he said that, he ignored the livid Patrick Kloster and walked out with Jane.

"What does this have to do with Mrs. Kloster?"

The girl Caroline catches up with Chuck, full of gossip.

"The thing is like this..."

Jane didn't want to spread any rumors about Chuck and Linda's affair, and she also wanted to spread the news by the way, so as to strengthen Linda's protection against being murdered after she returned home. , so he patiently told the cause and effect.

"OMG!"

After hearing such a strange thing, the girl Caroline put her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief and excitement: "You mean that the reason why Chuck defeated the world champion grandmaster was just to break his confidence and stop him from killing his wife? This Isn’t it too legendary?”

"It's truly legendary."

Jane also had to sigh that even though she had known Chuck for a long time, she could still refresh this incredible understanding every time.

"Then will he still kill his wife?"

Seeing Chuck and the others leaving, the girl Caroline hurriedly followed and asked.

Jane also looked at Chuck, which was what she was most concerned about now.

"have no idea."

Chuck shook his head.

"have no idea?"

Jane was surprised: "But didn't you say you would let Linda go back tonight?"

"What I should do has been done."

Chuck said calmly: "Now he knows who I am, and it is his freedom to choose to continue. Since Mrs. Kloster does not want a divorce, she still wants to go back to live with him. There is no difference between going back tonight and going back later. This case ends here It’s over and we’ll talk about it later when there are changes.”

"..."

Jane was speechless.

Later there were changes, and the translation was that Linda was dead.

However, she could only complain that it was not the same family that refused to enter the same house. This world champion grandmaster was indeed not a human being, but Linda was also very weird and could not be brought along.

"Where are you going now?"

The girl Caroline invited enthusiastically: "Shall I invite you to play? You can tell me about this case and I will help you publicize it."

Chuck ignored her, but Jane was surprised that the girl Caroline understood her thoughts immediately. However, considering that the other party was the daughter of Martin Channing, it was normal for her to have a high IQ and quick thinking, so she smiled teasingly: "Sorry, I’m very tired and don’t have the energy to play, maybe next time.”

"Why are you tired?"

When the girl Caroline saw that Chuck had walked away, her face tightened and she raised her eyebrows and looked at Jane: "Do you want to show off how happy you and Chuck were last night?"

"……You think too much."

Jane was a little uncomfortable with this kind of Sichuan opera face change, and her expression was stagnant, but she quickly adjusted it, and laughed at herself and said: "How can I, an experimental tool, have the right to show off?"

With that said, he smiled at the girl Caroline, turned around and left.

"damn it!"

Although the girl Caroline didn't know Chuck's habits, she was also keenly aware of what 'tool experimenter' meant. She looked at Jane's curves and walked away unhappily and cursed: "She tricked her!"

A week later.

Inside the office in Ping An Town.

Chuck is training little Leonard's chess skills online.

"Linda is okay now. That's good news, right?"

Jane, who was sending messages while watching the live broadcast of the Rejing Chess Championship Challenge, put down her phone and asked Chuck.

"As I said before, I don't pay attention anymore."

Chuck didn't even look up.

"All right."

Jane had no choice but to continue watching the live broadcast by herself.

For her, the investigation after the incident and the attention paid to the dangerous parties before the incident were completely two orders of magnitude different.

She also wanted to pay no attention to him like Chuck, but she just couldn't do it.

Suddenly, Chuck's cell phone rang. It was Little Leonard's voice call request. Chuck answered: "Yes?"

"Chuck, are you really, I..."

Little Leonard was so excited that he burst into tears without finishing his sentence.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Jane couldn't help but look away from the live broadcast screen and asked aloud: "Don't cry! What happened?"

"My tears are not sad, but excited."

Little Leonard smiled bitterly: "Chuck, you are really good to me."

"..."

Only then did Jane understand what had happened, and complained speechlessly: "What happened again?"

She discovered that little Leonard completely regarded Chuck as his idol, and would often have scenes of "He is really, I cry to death" because of Chuck's "favorite" behavior.

"No need to pretend, I've seen it all."

Little Leonard wiped his tears and said happily: "You must have convinced my mother and the others to hold a birthday party for me, right? Although because my mother doesn't like birthdays, I can only accept this habit, but In fact, I have always wanted to celebrate my birthday like other ordinary children, even once, even if it is just a birthday cake with 'Happy Birthday, Leonard' written on it..."

"Ah this."

Jane was stunned and winked to Chuck frequently, conveying her meaning: "Today is his birthday? I forgot! Did you prepare a birthday party for him?"

Um.

Why doesn't she believe it?

"I don't."

Chuck said bluntly.

"……you have not?"

Little Leonard, who was talking endlessly about how moved he was, was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "I'm already standing at the corner of my street. I've seen it. There's no need to pretend anymore. I've always had a fantasy before. , that’s when my parents would suddenly change their minds and secretly prepare a surprise birthday party for me. I didn’t expect that it would actually happen today. Thank you so much, Chuck! You are really the best friend!”

"What do you see?"

Jane couldn't help asking anymore.

She was really curious as to what caused little Leonard to have this illusion.

"I saw a lot of cars parked outside, faint whispers coming from home, and I could even smell the scent of chocolate cake wafting on the wind."

Little Leonard smiled and said: "This must be the birthday surprise party you prepared for me, right? It smells so delicious! This is my favorite cake! God, for a moment just now, I almost thought I was overthinking it, haha , you almost deceived me! But you don’t have to lie to me now, I will pretend not to know about this surprise, don’t worry, I am actually very good at pretending!”

"Chuck?"

Jane had a very ominous premonition and looked at Chuck again for confirmation.

Anyway, she knew she had no news at all.

If this is done wrong, it would be too cruel for a child!

"I never celebrate birthdays!"

Chuck said bluntly: "I didn't prepare any surprise birthday party for you."

"I know, I know."

Little Leonard suppressed his joy and was perfunctory, full of the meaning of 'I know your thoughts, I understand', and lowered his voice and said: "I'm coming in, wait, let me learn from Little Sheldon first. The 'O' (shocked) expression he used during the brain wave test before, and then showed his favorite 'D' (happy, smiling) expression. Can you see if I learned it..."

After saying this, he put down the phone, adjusted his expression several times, and then opened the door.

"Is it true?"

Jane couldn't hear the voice on the other side anymore, and she seemed to have an image of little Leonard's open-mouthed expression in her mind. She couldn't help but wonder whether little Leonard's parents had really changed and prepared a surprise birthday party for him.

"Mom, what is this?"

Just when she couldn't help but ask, little Leonard's voice sounded again.

"Oh, it's nothing serious, honey."

Beverly's voice was as calm and indifferent as ever on the other end of the phone: "Your grandpa is dead."

"…what?!"

Jane, like little Leonard over there, shouted in unison after a moment of silence.

"Your grandfather is dead."

Little Sheldon's voice came from the other end of the phone to confirm.

"I heard!!!"

Little Leonard yelled at Little Sheldon frantically.

"You heard it and still asked?"

Little Sheldon didn't care at all about Little Leonard's yelling, and frowned in disgust.

Just as Jane was thinking about how to comfort little Leonard, the phone was hung up.

"OMG!"

Jane exclaimed: "Poor baby, this happened to me!"

Seeing that Chuck's expression was still calm, she couldn't help raising her voice and reminding him: "You didn't hear it. Originally, he thought we prepared him the first birthday surprise party in his life, but it turned out that his grandfather died. This is simply cruel. ”

"Where is the cruelty?"

Chuck was unimpressed.

"Isn't this cruel? Then what is cruel?"

Jane exclaimed in disbelief.

"Being stuffed into a locker, having my underwear pulled out of place, being stapled out of place, having laxatives poured into my mouth, and being surrounded by a group of rugby players and not allowed to go to the bathroom. , walnuts were smashed on the forehead, urine was added to the drinks he drank, his clothes were stripped off and he was thrown into the women's locker room, and a parrot was stuffed into his underwear..."

"Etc., etc!"

Seeing Chuck calmly speaking out countless horrific bullying behaviors, Jane interrupted in shock: "I know that school bullying is cruel, you don't have to tell me all the bullying behaviors you know!"

"I'm just talking about what little Leonard went through."

Chuck corrected.

"..."

Jane was stunned and stammered: "This, are these the bullying experienced by little Leonard?"

"I'm just trying to name a few typical examples."

Chuck said bluntly.

Jane was silent for a moment and said with difficulty: "These bullyings are indeed cruel, but emotionally they are still not as good as this one. I was surprised at first and then turned around. The key point is that his mother said it so coldly... It is definitely the worst emotionally. It’s cruel!”

"Little Leonard had never been hugged by his mother, so the hugging machine was invented."

Chuck once again corrected Jane's misunderstanding: "Little Leonard did his homework. Because he didn't know that his sister and brother had done similar tasks, he was criticized by his mother in public for plagiarism, so that he peed his pants in public... "

"Okay I'm sorry."

Jane listened to Chuck's endless description of how Beverly 'loved' her son Leonard Jr., and she decisively admitted her mistake.

Compared with those who first thought they were going to have a surprise birthday party, and then were coldly informed by their mother that grandpa was dead, it suddenly seemed like it was no big deal.

"He won!"

Suppressing her sympathy for little Leonard, Jane looked at the live broadcast again and couldn't help but remind him: "It seems that he has recovered from the blow you gave him."

"No, he did not."

Chuck took one look and said, "In the past, this opponent wouldn't have needed to move beyond 44 moves to win."

"Yeah?"

Jane was a little happy after being surprised.

She hoped this bastard would never recover.

In Patrick Kloster's villa.

Linda, a plump woman, was doing her makeup in the mirror. When she saw the maid coming in, she couldn't help but ask: "Are you back?"

"Not yet, ma'am."

The maid replied: "I heard from the driver that he just received the call and was driving home."

Seeing that Linda was very nervous, the maid couldn't help but say one more thing: "Madam, do you want David to make you a drink?"

David is another valet.

That’s right!

In this villa, there are maids and male servants, and there are as many as four servants serving Linda and his wife. Jane has never been here in person, and has no real idea of ​​this kind of life as a noble wife, otherwise she would not It's so strange that after things like this, how could Linda be willing to risk her life rather than divorce or leave.

"No, Patrick will be back soon. I can't drink."

Linda was a little moved, but still refused and continued to put on her makeup. She wanted to be in the most perfect state to welcome her triumphant husband.

Not long after, a luxury car drove into the villa.

Linda and her servants stood at the door to greet her husband who got off the car: "Congratulations, my dear, you have won the world championship again. I am proud of you!"

Patrick Kloster did not speak, but just looked at his wife. According to the original plan, she was already dead when he returned home with great honors, but now she is still standing here, with a flash in his eyes. A hint of haze.

"Honey?"

Linda's smile froze and she called out unnaturally.

"hehe."

The haze in Patrick Kloster's eyes disappeared, he walked over with a chuckle, put his arm around Linda's shoulders, and said intimately: "My dear, do you feel that this home is missing something?"

"What's missing?"

Linda stiffly let her husband hug her and enter the house.

"child."

Patrick Kloster laughed: "I think it's time for us to have a baby."

"real?"

After Linda was stunned, she was overjoyed.

In the past, when the two of them fell in love and decided to be DINK, she felt very good at that time and wished that her child could enjoy their world forever.

But now she can't wait to get pregnant right away. This is not because her mentality has changed, but it means that the relationship between their husband and wife has been eased and repaired, which can greatly dispel her fear of death.

"But I'm 42, can I still give birth?"

After the surprise, she was a little worried.

"You don't need to give birth!"

Patrick Kloster smiled and said: "I can't bear to sacrifice your good figure and make you suffer. We can adopt a child."

"Adoption?"

Linda hesitated.

If they don’t share the same blood, is it useful?

"right."

Patrick Kloster's eyes flashed: "Remember that little genius chess girl? I think we can adopt her. Staying in an orphanage all the time is not a good thing."

Having said this, he touched Linda's lips with his fingers and said meaningfully: "And you also need a child to accompany you, don't you?"

"good."

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Linda could have no other opinion than nodding in agreement.
