[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

Dr. Hodge was silent, from beginning to end, even after Issac ended the communication, Selma Rosalind was taken away, and they walked out of the interrogation room, he still looked at Issac with that elusive gaze.

"What's wrong?" Isaac couldn't help asking out loud.

He has endured it for a long time, and he really doesn't enjoy the gaze of a middle-aged man at all.

"I was thinking, how did you get her to talk." Dr. Hodge said honestly, "I understand the rest, but how did everything happen in the first place?"

As a normal person and bystander who was not emotionally involved at all, Dr. Hodge really didn't understand.At that time, they didn't even have eye contact, so why did they suddenly turn on some switch.

"I feel okay." Isaac said, "Maybe we have communicated before, but I didn't find it difficult to communicate. Isn't that why you approached me in the first place? Because we talked, it was possible for Selma to talk to me. I communicate again."

Dr. Hodge nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Although I still don't understand it very well, but explaining it like this just confirmed my previous speculation, which sounds reasonable.

Isaac didn't care what Dr. Hodge thought, and after giving a passable reason, he left the police station.It took a lot of time to communicate with Selma Rosalind. When he returned to the hotel, only Will stayed in the room obediently, and everyone else went out to experience the city in their spare time before leaving. Isaac stayed in the room for a while, confirmed the return flight time by phone, took a look at the sky outside, and asked the hotel to deliver dinner to the room, and then began to write the closing report.

He has already arranged all the time, the flight is scheduled for tomorrow night, he can have a good night's rest, and then get up tomorrow morning to visit Leonard.

But good plans are meant to be sabotaged. At four o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on his door. Their pilot suddenly felt abdominal pain in the middle of the night and was rushed to the hospital.

"It's acute enteritis." The doctor in the emergency room said to Isaac.

Well, the pilot of the plane started to drink water in the hospital, with a guilty expression on his face, "I wasted everyone's time." In his situation, flying may be fine, but flying?Even if he dares to drive, it is still a question of whether others dare to sit.

"It's not your fault." Isaac said indifferently. He and the pilot are actually very familiar. As a person who has a dream of flying, he has visited the cockpit many times to observe, and the helicopter can fly, but he has never tried an airliner himself. , "Why don't I take charge of the pilot this time around?"

"If it's after the plane is stabilized, it's fine. But if it's not good for takeoff and landing, the plane will crash if you're not careful." The pilot refused honestly.

Isaac shrugged, "Okay."

Aubrey, who was standing behind Isaac, let out a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, we don't have to worry about being accused of driving without a license."

Isaac began to recall whether a helicopter pilot's license was the same as an airliner's.

And, silly boy, shouldn't the plane crash be the more worrying thing in this situation?What is driving without a license?

————————————————————————————————————

Because of the accident of the pilot, Isaac canceled the scheduled route again.The condition of the pilot is not bad, but it will take four days to recover to be able to drive again. Issac communicated with China, and finally decided to wait.

It's not that they can't go back without the pilot, but that they can't do without the plane.Even though there are countless international routes to choose from, a large part of the things they have to bring cannot pass through the security check.If they receive Case during this period, they can't just leave with a luggage bag and leave the originally configured vehicles and weapons aside.

There was plenty of time to stay, and after Isaac settled the pilot, he was ready to go out with the car keys.

"It's very cloudy outside, where are you going?" Walsh asked a lot.

"Go home." Isaac waved his hands and walked out without looking back.

The home he was referring to was of course not the one in Washington, but the place where he grew up from a teenager to a teenager, the home of his great-grandfather Leonard.

When I came to Milan this time, Isaac had the idea of ​​visiting Leonard, but he also knew that Leonard was a serious person who took his work seriously. He didn't want Leonard to know that he visited him after work and be criticized. Can choose after it's all over.This was the original plan. He planned to visit Leonard before leaving, but he didn't know whether it was misfortune or luck. The pilot's illness made the visit a lot longer.

As Walsh said, the sky outside is very overcast, the kind of overcast where black clouds overwhelm the city and it seems that it can rain down in an instant. Isaac turned on the radio in the car, adjusted the channel, and soon the host's voice sounded.He tuned it a little bit, and finally settled on a channel that seemed to be exclusively open to drivers. The host of that channel was introducing road conditions, making jokes from time to time, and providing travel advice.

Suddenly there was a thunderstorm outside, and the host on the radio screamed, "Wow! The director told me just now that it has started to thunder outside. Today's weather conditions are not ideal. Friends who are traveling outside should be prepared Of course, if you are a couple, maybe you can feel the romance of running in the rain in Milan..."

The wind was strong, and Isaac couldn't feel anything in the car, but he looked at the pedestrians outside who were staggered by the wind, and began to complain about the host's words. In this kind of weather where women have to press down on their skirts desperately, who would want to This romance?

After two or three thunderclaps, the rain finally fell.There was a lot of momentum at the beginning, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road just now, and they disappeared all of a sudden, and they didn't know where to hide from the rain. While driving the windshield wipers, Isaac was thinking about what he would say when he saw Leonard.

The old man is 98 years old today, but his body is still very strong. Last year, he went on a skiing vacation. He participated in an amateur competition and won the first place in the senior group.The positive and optimistic mentality made Isaac want to launch an activity where Kiven learns from Leonard. It’s not that he has an opinion, but that Kiven’s hobbies are compared with Leonard’s, which is the real hobbies of the elderly.

Leonard lives in a detached house with neighbors on both sides. The house is big. After all, he is not counted as a child who died young. He has a total of seven children who have grown up and started their own families—oh, except for the youngest and most troublesome son, Kyle Besides - the house is too small to live in.But now, only Leonard lives in this house, and the others have moved out long ago, so it seems a bit too big.

It’s not that no one wants to live with Leonard, but Leonard obviously prefers a place where he and his wife have shared memories. In addition, he feels that he is in good health and is fully capable of taking care of himself. He has children living nearby, so he will go to the place from time to time Looking at him, he doesn't think there is any problem living alone.

"Maybe I can challenge the record of the longest-lived human being." When he said this, Leonard felt that he could do it.

Isaac loves Leonard's mentality.

Soon, the car drove into a street he was familiar with, and a house that he grew up looking very friendly came into view.The yard is full of gorgeous and blooming flowers, although under the blow of the heavy rain, it looks a bit miserable.

It wasn't far from running across the courtyard from the car to the gate of the house, but it was enough to get people wet.With the rain and strong wind outside, unless you wear a raincoat that covers you tightly, it is not realistic at all to rely on an umbrella to block the rain.

But talk is better than nothing.

Isaac lamented his bad luck, even if it hadn't rained a quarter of an hour ago.

The people in the courtyard pushed it away, and Isaac still held up the umbrella, and ran to the door quickly before he breathed a sigh of relief.After only a few steps, his trouser legs were soaked.But he didn't care about this. He heard a faint dog barking outside just now, but now that he ran to the door, the sound became more obvious.

Isaac frowned, reached out and pressed the doorknob.

Unexpectedly, the door was not locked, he just twisted it, and the door opened.

The urgent and loud dog barking rushed into his ears, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He threw away the umbrella that was not fully folded in his hand, and ran quickly into the room.A Labrador was barking loudly towards the ground, occasionally whimpering, as if it was hitting something on the ground.

Isaac suddenly felt very cold, as if the rainwater that had been poured just now turned into ice and stuck to his body.He walked around the sofa and finally saw the person lying on the ground clearly.

It's Leonard.

The Labrador spotted him, but instead of attacking, it walked around his legs, nuzzling him, wanting him to check on its owner.

Isaac's mind went blank, he had thought of several scenarios before coming here, but none of them included the current one.After being hit by his knee again, he suddenly recovered, knelt down on the ground, put one hand on the end of Leonard's nose, and the other on the side of his neck, and found that there was a weak breathing at the end of the nose, and the neck artery was still there. When he jumped, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that he had been holding his breath for a long time.

After discovering that the situation was not the worst one, Isaac suddenly became much more flexible.He took out his phone, dialed 911 without thinking, and realized that he had done something stupid before getting connected.Then he pressed the call and dialed the correct number 118 after adding the international area code, which was the emergency number.

After telling the address, Isaac didn't breathe a sigh of relief. He knelt carefully beside Leonard, but he didn't dare to move him, and could only call his name over and over again.

Not once did I get a response.
