[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

Andrew walked to the table with a smile, pulled a chair and sat beside Peter, put his hand on the back of Peter's chair, and said to Annie: "Hey, why is your face so ugly?"

Mary frowned and said, "Don't worry about my face, you called me and Peter here, except for the little girl, do you want to tell the two of you... what you didn't tell me first? "

Andrew glanced at Peter with a smile and said, “You didn’t tell her?”

"I thought you told her, but since you didn't, I guess you wanted to pick a date? Like, today?" Peter shrugged and gave him a look. "You told her!"

Andrew nodded, looked at Mary you with Peter, and smiled: "I think you should be happy to see..." He patted Peter on the shoulder, "Welcome the new New York hunter, Peter Parker!" clap up.

Peter also applauded stupidly.

Mary looked at the two guys clapping happily in front of her, feeling her head started to hurt again, she stretched out her hand to press her temple, and said, "Andrew."

"What?" Andrew asked with a smile, "What do you want to say? Ah, do you want to say that you are pleasantly surprised?"

"Surprise?" Mary looked at them speechlessly, "It's more of a shock than a surprise, Andrew, do you know that Peter is only 15 years old?"

"I know!" Andrew replied.

"He knows!" Peter laughed. "That doesn't stop me from being a hunter, does it? I heard Dean was a hunter when he was younger than me!"

"Dean Winchester is not a good role model!" Mary sighed. "Peter, why don't you continue to be your Spider-Man?"

"Hey, Hunter and Spider-Man don't conflict!" Peter shrugged, "On the contrary, I think I can help people better!"

"Well said! That's the reason!" Andrew patted Peter on the shoulder and said to Mary: "You also know his talent, don't you think he is very suitable to be a hunter?"

Mary looked at them speechlessly, suppressed her headache, and didn't want to continue entangled in the issue of Peter being a hunter. Instead, she asked, "What happened to the case of the missing little girl, please tell me in detail!"

Andrew nodded, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened it, rummaged through it for a while, and handed it to her.

Mary took it, and saw a photo of a little girl. In the photo, the little girl was sitting on the grass, smiling happily at the camera. The sun shone on her long fluffy hair, and she looked very beautiful.

When Mary looked at the photo, Andrew looked at her and said slowly: "Zenia, 7 years old, disappeared on the way home from class a week ago. After 24 hours of disappearance, the police accepted her mother's report. An investigation was launched, but soon, they found Zegna's schoolbag near the school, and found a diary in the schoolbag, which mentioned leaving New York. Therefore, the police believed that this was not a missing child case and stopped search."

Mary frowned, handed the phone back to Andrew, looked at him and said, "Even if it's not a missing child case, the police should deal with it as a missing child case, right?"

Andrew shrugged and said: "Anyway, the police believe that the child has left New York after investigation to find her father, and asked the mother of the child to contact, um, the biological father of the child in Nevada, if the child is not found there , need to call the police there. You know, the current police..." He spread his hands helplessly, "Don't you think the process of this case looks familiar to you?"

Mary nodded silently, and said, "Yes, it's very familiar. It's exactly the same as Julie's case. It looks like the case was withdrawn on purpose."

Peter bumped Andrew's arm with that elbow, and said, "Why don't you just tell Mary, your investigation?"

Upon hearing this, Mary turned to look at Andrew without saying a word.

Andrew cleared his throat and said: "According to my preliminary investigation, well, I went to Zegna's school and asked some children. It is certain that Zegna didn't have any signs of running away from home, you know , children always tell their best friends what is on their minds, and Zegna is the same. Her good friend told me that Zegna has a ballet tryout the next day, and she cares about that competition very much, so she simply It is impossible to choose that time to run away from home, and, most importantly, I went to the place where the police found the schoolbag, and then, I found this..." He quickly swiped a few times on the screen of the phone, and the screen Turn around and show her, "Look..."

Mary looked towards the screen, which was a photo with a very clear shoe print on it.She thought for a while and said, "The police didn't find this?"

Andrew curled his lips and said disdainfully: "I bet they didn't search that area more carefully after they found Zegna's schoolbag. From the place where the schoolbag was found, there is more than one shoe print, but, they seem to be deliberately ignored."

"How are you sure you're a werewolf?" Mary asked.

Andrew smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not sure it's a werewolf."

Mary sighed and said, "Will you not make such a bold assumption every time?"

"Not a werewolf?" Peter asked strangely, "But you haven't always said it was a werewolf with such certainty."

Andrew smiled smugly, and said, "Oh, little spider, you have to learn a little bit. We have to make bold assumptions in cases like this. I can tell you that in every supernatural case I have dealt with with Mary, every Once I made a bold assumption and set the direction of the investigation, and the accuracy of my assumption was almost 100%!"

Seeing the admiration on Peter's face, Mary complained mercilessly, "I have to correct you, your accuracy rate is not that high, Andrew."

"Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but you can't deny the benefits I made in handling the case, can you?" Andrew looked at Mary with an aggrieved expression.

"You mentioned her mother on the phone before. Since she came to you through a friend, then she must have some reason, right?" Mary said.

Andrew nodded and said, "So, we won't know why until we meet her."

Mary remained silent, looked at Peter who was eager to try, and said, "I have something to ask you."

Peter blinked and asked, "Ask me? My opinion on this case? Oh, I have to say I don't have much experience..."

"Not about that," Mary cut him off. "I just wanted to make sure that you remember seeing Captain America in Chinatown on Thanksgiving Eve, right?"

Peter was taken aback, looked at Mary's serious expression, and asked, "Yes, that's right, didn't I follow him to the place where he lived? Don't you remember? I took you to see it that night!"

"Of course I remember." Mary sighed, "I'm sorry, Peter, I just want to make sure that you may have misidentified someone."

"It's absolutely impossible. It's impossible for me to recognize Captain America by mistake. You know, I have fought against Captain America. How could I recognize the wrong person! Even if he is disguised as a woman, I can recognize him!" Peter said excitedly, "Hey, really, I swear!"

Andrew glanced at Peter, stretched out his hand and patted him on the back comfortingly, and said, "Hey, don't be so excited, look, Mary is just confirming, by the way," he looked at Mary, and asked, "You haven't done anything until now?" Interview him?"

Mary nodded.

"If I remember correctly, it has not been a day or two since you received this task. Isn't your boss crazy?" Andrew looked at her with raised eyebrows, and her face changed with his question. It got a little darker.

Mary held her chin and said dejectedly, "You remember right. It's been a long time, but I haven't even done the most basic interview with Captain America, let alone digging up any big news."

"Um, didn't you go to Chinatown to see him?" Peter asked.

Mary smiled and said, "The reason I'm asking you is to make sure if you've identified the wrong person. I've been to Chinatown, but... I haven't met him."

Peter scratched his head and said puzzledly, "Since you've been there, could it be because you didn't find the right time?"

Hearing this, Andrew snapped his fingers in approval, and said to Mary: "You should go at night. If it's daytime, maybe Captain America has his own business to do? After all, even if he becomes a wanted criminal , and it’s impossible to leave everything behind.”

Mary thought for a moment, then said, "You're right."

Andrew laughed, turned on his phone, glanced at the time, and asked, "Are you going to have something to eat here, and then go to see Zegna's mother, or after the meeting, let's find a restaurant to have a good meal?"

Mary shook her head in no mood and said, "I'm not hungry yet. If you are hungry, you might as well buy a sandwich!"

"Oh, I'm hungry!" Peter said and jumped up. "I'm going to buy food!"

Andrew also got up and followed Peter to the counter.

Mary watched the two of them discussing what to eat in front of the menu, and thought of Peter's affirmative tone, perhaps, they were right, every time she went there was during the day, so she should change the time, or, stay there, as long as Steven still lives in that building in Chinatown, and he should be able to wait for him. As for how to interview or dig out big data later, it’s something later. Thinking of this, Mary felt a little relieved.
