companion ghost

Early the next morning, Kathy and Dino packed their things and got on the plane back to New York.

On the plane, Casey tilted his head and fell asleep again. Dino looked at him helplessly. He didn't know if he was really sleepy or shy. He didn't even give him a chance to chat. He put on the eye mask and headphones when he sat down. Go to sleep.

Dino raised his eyebrows, leaned on his face with one hand and started staring at Casey.

It wasn't until he saw that the roots of Casey's ears started to turn red, that he withdrew his gaze contentedly and began to flip through the magazine.

It didn't take too long to get from Washington to New York, and the plane landed in no time.

Kathy and Dino had just stepped into the office when they saw Emma there.The cute little girl waved to them, smiled and teased, "How was your honeymoon?"

Casey: "..."

I almost forgot, but you have to mention it!Must mention!Only you have a mouth!

Dino glanced at Casey's face, held back a smile, and changed the topic: "You must have discovered something when you came here, right?"

"Of course," Emma smiled, but before she said the next sentence, she looked around to see if there was Auston, "otherwise, the captain has such a bad temper recently, so I wouldn't touch his brow."

Everyone present showed a knowing smile.

Shen Lie was also there, and he happened to come to send Ning Yuan to work in the morning, before Emma left, and then Kathy Dino, who simply didn't leave, and waited here for the further development of the case.

Emma took her notebook and tapped on the keyboard for a long time, saying while typing: "Dino gave me the canceled email account and the account for transferring money, and I did a search."

Ning Yuan was curious: "Can I still find out if I have already logged out?"

Emma showed an expression of hatred towards Ning Yuan: "My dear, you must know that nothing disappears on the Internet. Once everything appears on the Internet, even if it is only for a second, there will be traces to follow, no matter you What a powerful method to delete, as long as there are equipment, talents, and technology, everything can be found."

Ning Yuan hissed: "It's kind of creepy to hear that."

Shen Lie pinched Ning Yuan's waist: "Don't interrupt, listen to the serious."

It happened to pinch Ning Yuan's itchy flesh, and he couldn't help laughing and hid aside.

At this time, Oston pushed the door and walked in. Emma stuck out her tongue. Fortunately, he didn't hear what he said just now.

Emma began to go on: "I found this deactivated mailbox, which was registered by Linda Swift—"

"Who?!"

Casey raised her head abruptly, stepped forward and rushed to Emma's computer, her voice was cold and full of disbelief: "Who did you just talk about?!"

Emma was taken aback by him, and she stammered a bit: "Lin, Linda Swift—"

Not only Emma, ​​but everyone was taken aback by Kathy's reaction. Jerry asked, "What's the matter Kathy? You know this Linda?"

Casey's mouth opened and then closed, back and forth several times before she made a sound: "Do you remember that pedophile Vincent Osterley?"

"I remember," Shen Lie's face became very cold, "he escaped the law by using a child who had been imprisoned by him for ten years, and we have nothing to do with him."

"Linda Swift... is his assistant," Casey said slowly. "At first we thought she was the murderer, because she was the one who bought and sold Louis, and she was also the owner of the villa where Stephen was imprisoned. Later We just found out that Vincent Osterley was the psycho who used Linda and—”

"And kill him."

Dino remembered, "Linda's car exploded while driving, leaving no bones left."

Shen Lie also nodded: "I remember that I had already made a plea deal with her at that time, she was my witness to testify against Vincent, and I gave her immunity - but obviously, she had no chance to enjoy it. "

"If I remember correctly," Gloria frowned, "at the trial, we had a good chance of winning at first, until one of the victims at the time—what was it called—"

"Stephen." Casey remembered clearly, "Stephen Leiter, I remember that kid."

"Yes, it was him," Gloria said. "He backtracked in court and helped Vincent perjure himself, so he escaped."

Oster frowned. He was still undercover at that time, and he knew nothing about these cases: "So where is this Stephen now?"

Shen Lie's face was gloomy, "I made a deal with him, he is now in New York's Su Desi Psychiatric Center."

Auston nodded to Gloria and Jerry: "You two go."

Casey suddenly said, "I'll go."

"You just came back from a business trip, go home, take a shower and have a good rest." Auston saw that they were already tired.

"I'm fine." Casey was still stubborn. "Dino can go back and rest, but I'm going. After all, this is my case, and it's an unfinished business."

Seeing that Auston couldn't persuade him, he stopped. Dino also expressed that he was not tired and wanted to see Stephen. After all, this was the case that he and Casey were mainly in charge of at the time, and Auston didn't bother to take care of it. They, waving their hands to let them arrange themselves, went back to the office by themselves.

Jerry and Gloria understood very well, and took the initiative to hand over the action to Casey and Dino. Shen Lie knew that Ning Yuan would definitely look at him without looking, and said, "I'll go with you."

Cassy Dino has no objection either.

New York Suds Psychiatric Center

The doctor opened the door of the ward, and Stephen leaned against the window with his thin figure. He only glanced at them when he saw them coming in: "Welcome, there are so many kind-hearted people who have come to see me in the past few days."

Casey's nerves tensed up suddenly: "Who? Vincent Osterley?"

Stephen said lightly: "He will never come."

Shen Lie didn't give him any face at all: "You stayed in the mental hospital for more than a year, and finally realized what a wrong decision you made?"

"I don't know," Stephen didn't show any anger or shame as Shen Lie expected, he was just confused, "Maybe."

"So," he sat on the edge of the bed, "what are you here for?"

Casey looked at the pair of emerald green eyes that were exactly like her own with a complicated expression, and took out Sean's photo: "Do you know this person?"

Stephen took the photo, and Kathy noticed that his fingers were pale, thin and weak, as if they would break if they were lightly broken: "Yes, I know him, he is Raphael [Note]—or, his original name is not Not called this."

"His name is Sean, Sean Barton." Dino answered him.

Stephen smiled: "I can guess."

"Let's not go around in circles." Shen Lie can be said to be the most calm and rational person present, and he cut to the point, "Everyone present knows the truth of that case back then. Now you say you met Xiao Xiao Well, does it mean that Sean was also one of the members who was raped by Vincent?"

"Yes."

"Wait a minute," Casey frowned, "then why didn't we see Sean the day we rescued you from the villa?"

"Before that day, I hadn't seen La-Sean for almost three months," Stephen said.

"Why?" Ning Yuan couldn't help asking, "Vincent locked you in different places?"
