"Oh my God, the weather is so stuffy and hot, I'm dying," Casey fanned the wind with her hands, and sighed as soon as she got out of the car, "I'm going to buy a cup of iced coffee, do you want it?"

Dino touched his chin: "How about a larger pizza and snack set?"

Casey looked at him strangely: "Aren't you not used to eating these?"

Dino blinked his left eye at him.

Carrying a large bag of takeaways, Casey got into the air-conditioned car and sighed contentedly. Before he had time to ask, Dino kicked the accelerator and went down. The former was almost spilled by iced coffee.

Casey: "..."

Did you think this was your sports car?

Besides, why are you so anxious!

Dino drove the police car for about 15 minutes, and stopped in front of a group of street girls in alluring costumes.Kathy recognized one of the tall street girls in sky-high clothes as Layla who gave Auston the ring at the time, and instantly understood what the partner was going to do.

Casey rolled down the car window and smiled brightly: "Hey beauties, have you eaten yet?"

Several women panicked when they saw the police car, but Leila was very calm in comparison, walked to the side of the car and whispered: "We didn't do anything."

Casey looked at her calmly: "We are not from the anti-pornography team, we just want to ask you a few questions."

Leila stood, looked down at the blond police officer condescendingly, very wary.

Casey held up the pizza box: "New Orleans taste, and chicken wings, really don't want to eat?"

When Shen Lie and Ning Yuan came out of the hearing court, it happened to be lunch time, so they simply took the documents and strolled to a delicious Thai restaurant not far away for dinner.After sitting in the seat, a waiter came to order at this time, and Shen Lie was looking down at the menu, when he felt Ning Yuan pat his arm, he looked up and found that it was an acquaintance.

"Christine?" Shen Lie was a little surprised, "You work here?"

The waiter at their table is Christine, a good friend who rents the house with Peggy.Shen Lie looked at her rather haggard.

Christine was also surprised, and forced a smile: "Prosecutor, what do you want to eat?"

Shen Lie simply ordered two dishes, and gave Ning Yuan a questioning look during the process. The latter shook his head to indicate that he didn't want to eat, so he wrote the order paper and gave it to Christine.

Christine took the menu and turned to leave, but turned back and asked hesitantly, "Prosecutor, about Peggy's case..."

"About this," Shen Lie looked at her, "it's already entered the court trial. If you want, you can go to the court trial."

Christine was a little hesitant: "It's already reached the trial stage... Who did it?"

Shen Lie paused for a moment, but still said it.

Ning Yuan sat next to Shen Lie and carefully observed Christine's expression.

Christine's originally dazed expression became a little elusive after hearing Joanna's name.Her brows were furrowed tightly, her nose was also tightened, and her lips were pursed into a line.Ning Yuan's gaze fell on her hand holding the order paper: she was holding on to the order paper tightly, and the poor order paper had already turned into a ball with a whimper.

Christine laughed at herself and said, "I should have known earlier, I shouldn't let her go, no matter what she said, I shouldn't let go!"

Shen Lie was stunned for a moment because of the unclear meaning: "Why do you say that?"

Christine's eyes were slightly moist: "I don't know how Peggy found out about Luke and Joanna's engagement that day. She was very sad. In her heart, Joanna is her best friend. But she and I As I said, she knew that it was impossible for her and Luke to go to the end, and she wanted to give birth to the child just to keep a thought for herself in the future." She turned her face slightly, choked up twice, "she Regardless of my objections, she insisted on going to Joanna, saying that she still hopes to have a clear answer anyway, and if they are really engaged, she can withdraw, and she and Luke are also in a hopeless relationship anyway."

Hearing this, Shen Lie quickly asked, "Do you remember when this happened?"

"On the day of her accident."

Shen Lie's face became serious in an instant: "Are you sure that Peggy went to find Joanna that day?"

"Very sure," said Christine confidently, "I've been worrying about her, and she sent me a text message saying that she has seen Joanna and will be back soon to prevent me from worrying." Christine's tears It still flowed down from her eye sockets, "But she lied to me, I will never see her again."

Shen Lie didn't know how to comfort her, he just looked at her and asked, "Are you willing to testify in court? For Peggy."

There were still tears on Christine's face, and she smiled bitterly when she heard the words: "I can do anything for her, I miss her so much."

Maybe it's Kathy's smiling sunshine, which can make people lower their defenses. Leila took Kathy's pizza and walked towards the girls behind her. The girls chattered and began to share the pizza. Girls are pretty good, why bother to make a living on the street."

Dino reached out and ruffled his blond hair: "They have no choice, and they are not willing to take the risk to change."

Casey sighed and said nothing more.

After all, everyone has their own way of life. Although he is a police officer, he cannot save those who are unwilling to change.

Layla came back on her high heels and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Kathy sat up straight. "Everything that happened in that villa on Sunday night."

Leila said: "I have already told you what I know, and the ring has been given to you."

Casey asked earnestly, "Just recall memories?"

Leila was silent for a while, then took out a cigarette, Dino threw her a lighter, she smiled slightly, lit the cigarette, took a puff and exhaled a few smoke rings: "Be honest, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Dino looked at her with brown eyes, and Leila gave him an elusive feeling: "I want you to testify in court."

Leila smiled sarcastically: "Impossible, I know the routines of these so-called trials too well," she emphasized the so-called two words, "Once you sit in the witness's seat, the lawyer will , all the past that you want to completely forget will come to you again, like a monstrous ocean wave, making you unable to breathe. They will catch the wrong things you did before, and those mistakes will become their worst An easy-to-use weapon that can cut your heart with one knife."

Although Kathy looked directly at this woman who was full of dust and dust, but gave people an indescribable feeling, as if looking at other people through her, her eyes were out of focus, and she said softly: "Those things you want to forget, don't You can really forget it if you don’t think about it. People will face it one day, and miss it because of what they have done. If you get through it, let it go.”

Leila still had a cigarette in her hand. After listening to it, she lowered her head, smiled lightly, flicked her cigarette butt, waved to them, and walked back to the women: "Cannibalism is soft, send me a summons."

Dino, however, had no time to take care of her. His eyes fell on Casey, who had a straight back but a distracted gaze.
