companion ghost

In the dark night, there are only sporadic lights of surrounding buildings and the bright lights of passing vehicles on the side of the highway.A car that looks very new at first glance and doesn't even have a license plate is happily driving on the driveway, but the owner in the car suppresses a yawn, and the woman in the co-pilot looks at him worriedly: "My dear, you have already driven It's been five hours, can I drive it instead?"

The man joked: "Honey, I don't dare to let you risk our new car with the driver's license you just got yesterday, maybe I will lose two of my favorites at once."

The woman gave him a coquettish look, but a blush crept up on her cheeks.

The man still surrendered: "It's okay for us to take a nap at the next rest stop, right?"

The woman smiled, and stretched out her hand to touch the man's chin as a reward. At this moment, she saw a stumbling figure out of the corner of her eyes.

"Be careful!!!!!!!"

The screeching sound of brakes was followed by the muffled sound of flesh hitting the ground.

"Can you get out of my bed?"

Shen Lie looked at Ning Yuan who was lying on his bed with a headache, holding the steaming coffee in his hand.

"No, your bed is really soft." Ning Yuan refused decisively, hugging the pillow pitifully, "The bed in the guest room is super uncomfortable."

"What kind of comfort do you want, a ghost?" Shen Lie looked at him condescendingly.

"Then I can also feel this kind of physical thing!" Ning Yuan protested, "I just can't touch living people."

Shen Lie didn't care, and put the coffee on the bedside table casually, "Speaking of which, why are you so strange, ordinary ghosts shouldn't be able to touch anything, right?"

For example, the kind that goes directly through the wall.

Ning Yuan shrugged: "Who knows, maybe I'm not a complete ghost, after all, I'm not dead yet." He squinted his eyes: "You should be grateful, right? It's because of me that you can wake up every morning." Eat a hot and nutritious breakfast!"

Shen Lie was noncommittal.

"Ah!" Ning Yuan noticed the coffee on the bedside table, pointed at the cup and complained, "You actually drink coffee again, I obviously hid all your coffee beans!"

"...transferring from the cupboard to the cupboard is not called hiding."

Ning Yuan: "..."

Is that the point?Is this the point!

Seeing Ning Yuan's expression, Shen Lie resisted the desire to laugh, and pointed to the big wardrobe: "Go and get a quilt from the closet."

"No need," Ning Yuan waved his hand: "I can't feel the temperature."

"But I can feel it," Shen Lie said expressionlessly, "Take the quilt and wrap yourself tightly so that you don't touch me again in the middle of the night." After thinking about it, he added: "Not even a hair."

Ning Yuan: "..."

Really fierce!

"Casey!" Carl looked at Casey with big round eyes, and shook Casey's arm with his small hand: "I want to hear a bedtime story!"

"A bedtime story?" Casey picked up a story book next to the bed, and scratched the tip of Carl's nose: "Continue with the forest hunter from last time, okay?"

Carl nodded, let go of his hands and crawled into the warm blanket: "Mmm, I really want to know what happened to the big tiger!"

Kathy rubbed Karl's short blond hair, which was exactly the same as his, soft, and began to tell him stories in a soft voice. After Karl fell asleep, Kathy looked at his sweet smiling face, and turned off the dark yellow hair on the head of his bed. The warm little lamp turned around and went out with her mobile phone that showed an incoming call but was silent, and then gently closed the door.

After Casey stepped out of the house lightly, he locked the door and turned around to see Dino's limited edition sports car parked on the street in front of him.Before he got to the front of the car and knocked on the window, the glass rolled down by itself, and Dino looked at him with a smile in his deep brown eyes.

"What's the situation?" Dino and Casey rushed to the emergency room of Mercy Hospital in the middle of the night to ask the doctor. The doctor in a white coat sighed outside the emergency room: "It's a little boy who was just brought in. The car accident rescue failed. die."

Casey was confused: "Shouldn't this belong to the traffic team?"

Why are you looking for the homicide squad in the middle of the night!

The doctor said: "If it's really that simple, I won't drag you out of bed."

Dino and Casey looked at each other, still at a loss.

The doctor motioned them to look through the glass at the lifeless young body inside: "Poor little guy, the cause of his death was not a car accident. Even without the car accident, he would not be able to see the rising sun tomorrow morning," the doctor said. After considering his words, "He was severely dehydrated. I suspect that he has not eaten or drank for at least four days. At the same time, I found that he still has... signs of being sexually abused and raped."

Dino frowned: "How old is he?"

A trace of disgust flashed in the doctor's eyes: "It won't be more than ten years old."

"What the doctor said was really subtle!"

After bombing Shen Lie up the next morning, Dino consciously offered breakfast as before, but unexpectedly Shen Lie refused.Ignoring Casey's unbelievable expression of "you can eat breakfast so early", Shen Lie saw James rushing into the homicide office like a gust of wind, and at the same time, there was his angry voice.

"Just know how to eat!" James glared at Casey, who was still biting his toast, and was furious.

Casey: "..."

Because I'm really hungry!

Dino pulled out the chair and motioned him to sit down and said, James tried his best to calm down before speaking: "I used the boy's DNA to compare it with the missing children database, and found out who it is: Louis Sprouse." He paused "Seven years old."

Kathy put down half of the toast and had no appetite.

Shen Lie also tightened his eyebrows: "Seven years old? What is the reason for the disappearance?"

James said: "The reporter is Louis' mother Anna, who said that Louis disappeared two weeks ago when he was returning home from the park two blocks away from his home."

"Two weeks ago?" Dino touched his chiseled chin with his slender fingers, "Did an Amber Alert [Note] be issued?"

"Hmm..." There was a response from Jerry and Gloria's desk next to Dino's and Kathy's desks, and Jerry tapped the keyboard twice to call up the record: "Yes, but not Complete, just the suspect's car model, a white Buick. But no license plate."

"There are cars like this on the streets of New York," Gloria rubbed her temples irritably, "so the police officer in charge of this matter can't do anything."

As soon as Casey opened his mouth, he was interrupted by James: "I haven't finished speaking yet, do you think this will be over?"

All eyes were attracted by his words.Shen Lie glanced at Ning Yuan and looked at James with a serious expression.

"Louis has definitely lived a life that would have been worse than death in the past two weeks," James clenched his fists, "long-term abuse, rape, sexual abuse, whips or burns, there is no good place, Organ atrophy due to dehydration." He took a deep breath, "No matter who abducts this child, it would be better to give him a knife."

"Scumbag."

Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and threw two words, the indifference made Shen Lie unexpected, but felt reasonable.

Although he had only been with Ning Yuan for less than a month, he probably understood what kind of person he was.

Usually he is sloppy and irritating, but when it comes to matters related to his profession, he is very serious and responsible.I also like reading very much, and I just lie on the sofa and flip through books when I have nothing to do.Since he came, he can eat a nutritious Chinese breakfast every day.But when I accompany myself through these cruel and inhumane cases, I always remain abnormally silent or filled with righteous indignation.However, after the case is over, he will adjust quickly, and always make fun of him when he is not in the right mood.

This kind of Ningyuan is both warm and pure.

The ringtone of Gloria's mobile phone brought back Shen Lie's idea of ​​running farther and farther. He unnaturally changed his standing center of gravity from side to side, and said, "Dino and Casey, you go to Strauss again. Let the family re-investigate the causes and consequences of Louis' disappearance, Jerry and Gloria will check the registered sex offenders around to see if they can find any clues."

Casey grabbed his coat and tossed the keys of the police car to Dino: "Stop driving your limited edition Maserati, can you keep a low profile?"

Dino laughed: "If the police car hadn't been sent for repair yesterday, I wouldn't have driven it."

Casey said angrily, "You should be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

capitalist!

Dino brushed Casey's hair with his hands and left the office.

Shen Lie followed them back to his office, Ning Yuan followed beside him, very unhappy.Wait until they walk into the office and close the door behind them.Ning Yuan said gloomily: "Your cases are more cruel than each other."

Shen Lie resisted the urge to pat his head, but even if he couldn't help it, he probably wouldn't be able to, "Welcome to the black world."

[Note] Amber Alert: Once it is confirmed that a child is missing due to kidnapping, the police agency responsible for investigating the kidnapping case will decide whether to issue an "Amber Alert".Alerts are issued nationwide via commercial radio, satellite, television, and cable television using the U.S. Emergency Alert system, as well as by email and text message over wireless devices.The content usually includes a description of the kidnapped person, a description of the kidnapping suspect, and a description and license plate number of the kidnapper's vehicle.
