American TV series Detective's Daily Life

"Dr. Wolfe."

"Ms. Lockhart."

Chuck had a phone call with Diane Lockhart, the female boss of the Lockhart \u0026 Gardner law firm, who was Leonard Jr.'s aunt.

"..."

Jane looked at Chuck in disbelief, as if nothing had happened, and then at Monica, who was holding a kitchen knife with an expressionless face. She rubbed her eyes, seriously doubting whether she was having a nightmare.

But no matter how much she rubbed it, nothing changed when she opened her eyes again, so she couldn't help but grab Chuck hard and signaled to him with her eyes: "Is this meowing okay?"

Chuck held down her head, which was looking back and forth, and continued to speak calmly to the other end of the phone: "I won't go over. Get ready, just start the video."

"That's okay too."

On the other end of the phone, Diane glanced at the elite officers of the law firm in the conference room, nodded and agreed to the plan: "Just wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone.

"It's really different."

Will Gardner, another partner of the law firm, couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, I could invite him over with a phone call, but now I can only invite him over by video call."

"More money added."

Kelinda, who is always sensitive to income, said leisurely.

"He was just Dr. Wolfe before."

Mrs. Florrick, a good wife who is famous all over the country, smiled and said: "Now he is Detective Chuck, and he deserves this treatment."

"Bianca's family is not short of money."

Diane said: "Her mother won't save this little money."

"I just don't know if he has any idea about this kind of case."

Will Gardner couldn't help but joke: "This wasn't the custom when he was in college."

"Are you like those hosts and want to go back to college?"

Diane scoffed.

All three women in the conference room looked over, and the only man, Will Gardner, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

As soon as this case came out, it was inevitably ridiculed by some venomous hosts and guests during the communication process. One said that this is the norm in American University today, and the other immediately echoed that he wanted to go back to campus immediately after hearing this.

As for going back to school?

I understand everything.

Mountainside villa.

After Chuck hung up the phone, Jane couldn't help but screamed: "Chuck, what's going on? Look at Monica..."

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Chuck.

"Silence."

Chuck reminded: "She can't stand the startle awakening now."

Jane looked up dumbfounded and looked up at Chuck who was speaking seriously. She wanted to speak but couldn't. She gritted her teeth and couldn't bear it. She could only twist Chuck's leg muscles, walk around the pillar and move to the position facing the door, staring at him intently. Monica, who was standing there with a knife, shouted in her heart: "Are you putting out the fire or adding fuel to the fire? If Monica were replaced by Bianca, she would probably shoot directly after seeing this scene."

For a moment, there was no sound in the master bedroom. Under the gaze of Chuck and Jane, Monica turned and left.

"How is this going?"

Jian held her breath for a long time, and finally was able to speak. She took a big breath for the first time, and then asked in a lowered voice.

"Sleepwalk."

Chuck frowned.

"Sleepwalking?"

Jane shuddered: "Does she still have this habit? What should I do if she sleepwalks and kills people?"

You must know that they slept together, and now there is a case of a female college student from the University of Chicago shooting her best friend to death. This is simply terrible!

"I didn't know it before, but now it's obvious."

Chuck said calmly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow when we wake up."

In fact, he knew that this was probably the sequelae of Peggy's hypnosis, which was why Chuck immediately stopped the warning after noticing that Peggy had hypnotized Monica.

The effects of hypnosis are often uncontrollable.

If you hypnotize too much and the level is too deep, it is easy to mislead the hypnotized person.

Jane still wanted to complain, but when she saw Chuck getting up and turning on the computer, she remembered Chuck's phone call and wisely changed the subject: "Are you taking over the case of a female college student in Chicago who shot her best friend?"

"Not taking over."

Chuck shook his head: "I was just hired to identify the client and help the Lockhart \u0026 Gardner law firm that was about to take over the case clarify the situation so that it could decide whether to take over the case and what defense strategy to develop after taking over."

"What if Bianca did this on purpose?"

Jane couldn't help but take her place again.

no way.

The sense of immersion is really strong.

"Then tell them Bianca did it on purpose."

Chuck said calmly.

Jane was speechless and glared at Chuck. Thinking that there might be a sleepwalking Monica holding a knife outside, she refused to leave, so she just stayed in the master bedroom: "I am your detective assistant, and I am curious about this case. .”

Chuck didn't chase her away either.

It's not that she has never done it before, but she is right. Whether as his detective assistant or one of his long-term strategic research partners, it is beneficial to learn more about this special case.

Half an hour later, the video request came through.

Bianca, the client suspected of shooting her Eskimo best friend, is now in custody, but as a wealthy woman, her lawyer can see her at any time.

"Dr. Wolfe, this is Bianca."

Diane was in charge of the case and introduced both parties in the video: "Bianca, this is Detective Chuck. You must know him, he is here to help you."

"Help you determine your status."

Chuck corrected.

"Detective Chuck, I know you."

Bianca was in a bad state and smiled bitterly: "Do you also think I killed you?"

"Bianca, did you kill your best friend Heather?"

Chuck looked at her.

"No."

Bianca immediately denied it, then met Chuck's gaze and said hesitantly: "I mean, I don't know either. I don't know what happened at all. When I remember, I was holding my mother's hand The pistol I bought was standing there, Heather was lying in a pool of blood, and there were people outside the door. It looked like I did it, but I swear I really don’t know what happened."

Jane was on the side. When she heard this, she took a deep breath and touched her neck. Even though she had closed the door of the master bedroom in advance, she still couldn't help but look back and walked over. Chuck kept checking as if he was possessed by him. Is the door locked?

"Are you on drugs?"

Chuck asked.

"Um."

Bianca scratched her hair: "Have you ever heard of sleeping pill style?"

"Know."

Chuck nodded: "Are you hallucinating?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to sleep."

Bianca said painfully.

"ok."

Chuck nodded and looked at Diane.

Diane comforted Bianca for a few words, hung up the video, and then came out to call Chuck alone: ​​"So, how is the situation?"

"I couldn't tell if what she said was true or false."

Chuck said.

"That's a good thing, right?"

Diane knew something about Chuck's micro-expression lie detection, and was delighted when she heard this: "It means she didn't kill him. She is innocent, right?"

Bianca's family is very rich, and their law firm is very eager to serve such people. Although they will provide services even if Bianca is not innocent, if Bianca is innocent, wouldn't it mean that she will gain both fame and fortune? , it’s a win, isn’t it?

"You can't say that."

Chuck shook his head: "There are two situations. One is that she lied and I couldn't see through it. The other is that she thought what she said was true."

"You're saying that she really lost consciousness after taking drugs and couldn't remember anything she did."

Diane frowned, and then said in relief: "That's okay."

Once the drug is broken, there is too much room for manipulation.

"So be it."

After Chuck expressed his opinion, he was about to hang up the phone, and then he saw Jane constantly saying with lips: "How about taking this case? Let's go to Chicago. I am very interested in this case, please! "

Just when Chuck was about to refuse, the watch on his wrist vibrated subtly. Chuck raised his decorative glasses and glanced at Jane with an unchanged expression. In her pleading eyes, he changed his words: " It’s not difficult to confirm whether she really lied, just go to the scene and check.”

"Dr. Wolfe, are you saying you'd like to come over and survey the scene?"

Diane was very surprised on the other end of the phone.

Although with Chuck's confirmation, she basically believed that Bianca really couldn't remember anything after taking drugs, but in the face of such a famous case, for the benefit of the law firm, it was best to do some research before confirming that she would take over the case. Be foolproof, and then make the most accurate defense strategy to successfully win the lawsuit.

And having Detective Chuck personally come to conduct on-site inspections can make this confirmation more convincing, so why not do it.

Isn't it just spending more money?

It’s not like she’s paying the bills anyway!

"yes."

Chuck looked at Jane and nodded: "We will go there tomorrow."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Chuck~"

Jane looked at Chuck with moved eyes.

"You owe me a big favor."

Chuck pushed aside Jane who was coming up, and said seriously: "Go back and rest now, we have a flight tomorrow morning."

"All right."

Jane thought for a while, it was already late, even if she wanted to repay the favor right now, she couldn't do it, otherwise she would not be able to get up tomorrow morning. She still wanted to follow Chuck and take a closer look at this immersive case. , so he reluctantly left.

After Chuck waited for Jane to leave, the computer automatically turned on, and a small video window with a nine-square grid appeared on the screen. In the middle was Alex working late into the night, in an office building in Chicago.

A phone call came through.

"Chuck?"

In the video, Alex, who was immersed in copywriting, took her cell phone and was surprised to see it connected.

"Are you still in Chicago?"

Chuck went straight to the point.

More than a month had passed since the last time they met for a gathering in Chicago. Chuck was busy at that time and did not go there.

"Yes, how do you know?"

Alex was stunned for a moment. After asking, she remembered that Chuck didn't like to answer questions, so she didn't wait for Chuck to answer. She skipped the question and said happily: "To be precise, I came here again. The company is here in Chicago." There’s been a lot of business lately.”

"We'll go there tomorrow."

Chuck said while looking at the remaining video frames of the Jiugongge.

"Great, I'll book a room for you right now."

Alex's ice-blue eyes were full of smiles, and then she noticed the wording: "We?"

"Me and my assistant detective, Jane Banner."

Chuck doesn't hide.

"Then I'll decide on 1 or 2 rooms."

Alex's smile paused, but she soon adjusted it, still smiling from the heart: "I'm really looking forward to seeing how good this new assistant Jane Banner is. I'm happy for you, Chuck."

"Um."

Chuck nodded and hung up the phone.

In the middle frame of the video, Alex listened to the blind tone of the mobile phone. She was lost for a while, shook her head, picked up the landline and called her hotel, booked the two best rooms, and got ready again. He continued to work, but then he raised his head and looked at the ladies' watch on his wrist. He opened the cover of the watch and revealed an old photo. In it were two boys, one tall and one short. The shorter one was more handsome and handsome, with lively eyes. , a tall man, with his head lowered and his eyes evasive, his expression dull.

"Sean, I hope you, like Chuck, are getting better and better. It's all my mother who is sorry for you..."

Alex touched the old photo and burst into tears.

Chuck looked at it for a while, closed the computer, and fell asleep like a vampire in a coffin.

Early the next morning.

Jane, who had not slept well all night, got up and got ready as soon as it dawned. Then she saw Monica coming over saying hello: "Hi, Jane."

"Hi, Monica."

Jane looked at Monica's eyes carefully.

"What's wrong?"

Monica looked at Jane in confusion and touched her face: "Is there any problem?"

"do not you remember?"

Jane stared into Monica's eyes.

"Remember what?"

Monica saw that there was nothing wrong with her face, but she still walked over and looked in the mirror, and then asked confused.

"nothing……"

Jane was a little hesitant, not sure whether she should say it, but after enduring it, she still couldn't hold it back: "Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?"

"ha?"

Monica was startled, then laughed and said, "Don't be kidding."

"I thought I was kidding too."

Jane complained: "But you almost scared me to death last night when you stood behind me with a knife, you know?!"

"Are you kidding?"

Monica was stunned.

"You really don't remember anything?"

Jane thought of the suspected fragmented Bianca she was going to check today, looked at Monica and laughed dryly.

"If you're not joking, I don't remember it at all."

Monica tried her best to remember, but she couldn't remember anything.

At this time, Chuck got up and ordered: "I will take Monica to Peggy's first. You go directly to the airport. We will meet at the airport."

"good."

Jane winked at Chuck, made a lip gesture of 'she doesn't remember anything', agreed, and walked away.

"Chuck, is what Jane said true?"

Monica looked at Chuck to confirm.

"Um."

Chuck nodded: "We'll talk about this later. I'll send you to Peggy first. I'll go to Chicago to handle a case later."

"Oh well."

Although Monica really wanted to know about her sleepwalking, seeing what Chuck said, she could only put it down for the time being, got into Chuck's car, and headed to Columbia.

"Hi, Chuck."

Peggy was very happy to see Chuck and greeted her warmly. Seeing Chuck's dull expression, Peggy felt moved. She glanced at Monica and said with a smile: "Mona, I want to drink Coke, can you help me buy a bottle?" "

"You've finished all the Coca-Cola in the refrigerator? Children, drink less."

Monica murmured and went down to buy Peggy.

"So, what's wrong?"

Peggy watched Monica leave, and then looked at Chuck with a smile.

Chuck told Monica about sleepwalking, and then looked at her: "See, the sequelae are already showing!"

"Sorry."

Peggy stuck out her tongue, then rolled her eyes: "But you can't blame me entirely. If you hadn't given her too much impact, she wouldn't have had such serious side effects. So strictly speaking, it was us working together. Such."

Speaking of this, her left lip curled up.

Chuck was silent.

This is not wrong.
