I'm just a little mouse after all [Comprehensive British and American]

"Who called you?" Al just finished her work, she stretched and looked at Ethan beside her and asked, "You looked flustered just now, what happened?"

"Jerry ran to Brooklyn." Ethan couldn't help taking a deep breath, and he said with a dark face: "Although he has always been naughty, this is the first time he has been so willful. I admit that I have prejudice against that side, I I've been to Brooklyn once, and it left a bad impression on me."

"The different areas there are very different, and only a small part of the area is more chaotic." Al put away the laptop, walked over to Ethan's lap, hooked his neck and smiled: "Don't worry, it's true over there. There are a lot of thefts, but there are a lot fewer homicides."

"I'm just worried." Ethan hugged Al and said vaguely, "I told him before not to investigate those dangerous cases."

"Isn't it a disappearance case?" Al asked.

"The disappearance case that can make the police helpless, how could it be a simple case." Ethan said worriedly: "I still want to go to New York City, at least bring him back, I don't know if he is alone there. rest assured."

Al squinted his eyes slightly to observe Ethan's expression, and she tentatively said softly: "He is already an adult, Ethan. Even if he is unable to protect himself, he will learn the basics to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Ethan forced a smile, Al held his face and frowned and asked, "I wanted to ask a question before, what happened to Jerry. '

Ethan panicked, and he pretended to be calm and said, "It's just a friend, and I don't know much about it."

"I checked his information." Al interrupted him, and said seriously: "He appeared very suddenly, I don't worry about you. His information is very concise, and there seems to be no problem. But if you look deeper, You will find that no one has contact with him."

She paused and continued: "To be honest, I suspect that his information is forged."

Ethan wanted to continue playing dumb, but Al's eyes seemed to see through everything.

"This matter must be kept from me, isn't it?" Al eased his expression and said, "Although I don't know what you are worried about, I respect your choice. But there is a request, you must promise me that he will not hurt you." You, his identity is not involved in those cases."

Ethan was silent for a long time, he hesitated whether to tell Al about it.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "You may not believe it, but there is indeed a big problem with his identity."

"Is it convenient to say?" Al asked.

"When Jerry was chatting with me before, he said that it would be okay even if he told you." Ethan picked the bed sheet with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Would you believe me if I said that he is not actually a human being?"

...

It's been an hour, just when Jerry is about to sneak into the alley to find Big Cousin.A little red thing came out of the alley.

It went straight to Jerry's feet, startling Jerry.

"It's me." It wiped its face, took out the same red hat and put it on.

It seemed to crawl out of blood, its body sticky and scarlet.

"Did you walk around the murder scene?" Tom poked his head out from behind Jerry and said, "Or did you say you killed the murderer casually?"

The eldest cousin said calmly while twisting his clothes: "It's not a big deal, I just saw a few corpses."

"Several corpses!" Jerry and Tom shouted in shock at the same time.

The eldest cousin hummed and said, "There are only two of them, and they were put in the bathtub. It's not a big deal."

"Are you serious?" Tom said tremblingly, "Are you sure it's a real person and not a model?"

"Why do you think there is blood on my body." The eldest cousin shook his hands in disgust and said, "I climbed into the bathtub to check, and it is indeed the person who was taken out."

Its tone is very calm, as if it is talking about what to eat tonight.

The air froze for a moment, Jerry pursed his lips tightly, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"Did you see who the murderer was?"

The eldest cousin nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, he was disposing of the corpse when I passed by. Do you need me to draw him?"

Jerry quickly took out the pen and paper, and the eldest cousin started to draw seriously with the pen in his hand.

After a few minutes, it picked up the painting and handed it to Jerry.

Tom looked at the portrait and fell into thought. He patted Jerry and said, "Your family's painting skills are really unique."

Looking at the portrait with one nose and two eyes, Jerry fell into deep thought. He sighed and said, "I'll try to see if calling the police will help. Do you remember which room the corpse was placed in?"

"Remember." The eldest cousin said affirmatively.

After receiving the alarm, the police car rushed over quickly.

"Are you sure you saw the corpse here?" There were only two policemen who came to investigate, and the police station didn't seem to pay much attention to Jerry's report.

Jerry handed over the detailed address provided by his big cousin, and the policemen looked at each other.One of the male policemen said: "The two of us have been responsible for patrolling this area, but we have never heard of any relevant reports. Are you sure you really saw the dead body?"

Jerry nodded, and he deliberately picked up his eldest cousin and said, "It's my pet mouse. Look, it's covered in human blood."

I don't know if it was Jerry's illusion, but he always felt that the two policemen didn't seem to want to investigate this matter very much.

They took out their pistols and told Jerry that there might be danger inside and told him to wait here now.

Jerry doesn't know much about the human world. In his perception, the human police are organizations responsible for protecting the people.

Despite being full of doubts, Jerry squatted obediently by the side of the road according to their instructions.

The policemen repeatedly told him not to run around in order to avoid danger.

Time passed by, and the police never came out.

Just when Jerry was rubbing his stomach and thinking about where to eat later, there was a sudden roar of a locomotive on the quiet street.

Jerry looked up and saw two locomotives approaching not far from the street, and one of them reached into his arms as if he was digging for something.

After becoming a human, Jerry's reaction was also much slower.He could barely see that it was a gun, but his body had no time to react.

The eldest cousin was changing clothes, so he didn't notice the abnormality here.

With a gunshot, Jerry felt his body being knocked away forcefully.

He staggered as the bullet grazed his shoulder and into the wall behind him.

Those two people didn't stay too long, and left the scene immediately when the attack failed.

Jerry touched his chest, and it took a long time for his brain to react.

He looked down and guessed that Tom had a big bump on his head because of the impact.

"The two of them wanted to kill me." Jerry took a deep breath and said, "Why did they kill me?"

Since joining the detective agency, the big cousin has positioned himself as Jerry's bodyguard and thug.

Someone touched Jerry under its nose, which is an insult to it.

I shouldn't have changed my clothes just now.

The eldest cousin folded his arms and said with a dark face: "This incident is absolutely inseparable from those people in the alley. They want to kill you."

Jerry shivered. This was the first time he had ever had a relationship with a murderer.

Tom held his head up, with the bag on his head, waiting proudly for Jerry to praise it.

"You are so amazing, I thought I was going to die." Jerry hugged Tom, kissed it on the face and said happily: "I knew it was the right choice to bring you out."

Tom put away the smirk on his face, pushed him away in disgust and said, "Don't kiss me, stay away from me."

Just as Jerry and Tom were fighting, the policemen who had entered the two alleys came out.

When they saw Jerry, they looked at each other again.

They seemed to make eye contact, which Jerry tried to decipher, but failed.

"We heard gunshots just now." The policewoman took out her notebook and asked, "Can you tell me what happened just now?"

Jerry pointed to the bullet casings on the ground and marks on the wall and said, "Two guys on motorcycles just shot at me."

The female policeman picked up the bullet casings and checked them for a while and said, "Recently, car robbery and homicide cases have occurred frequently here. For your safety, try to avoid going out at night or entering remote places alone."

Jerry nodded as a note, and the two policemen packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Jerry stopped them and asked suspiciously, "Did you find the body?"

"No, we investigated the room you mentioned." The male policeman crossed his arms and said impatiently: "We checked inside and out, and there was no corpse at all. There was a little blood in the kitchen, but it was just blood on the beef .”

Jerry was still about to speak, but the female policeman said first, "Don't make trouble anymore, this is a false report and obstructing official duties. I think you are young, so I won't hold you accountable this time. The police force should be used when necessary." Leave the place for those who can really help.”

She took a deep look at Jerry and said, "Don't do that again next time. What you should do now is go back to your home instead of wandering around in dangerous neighborhoods."

While they were talking, Tom sneaked up to his eldest cousin and whispered something in his ear.

The eldest cousin nodded, and quietly got into the police station.

No matter what Jerry said, the police didn't believe him.

Finally, Jerry had to give up. He watched the police car disappear from sight, and he squatted on the ground and hugged his arms angrily.

Tom walked up to him and rubbed the back of his hand and said, "Not every policeman can be trusted, Jerry, I think you'd better find a safe place and wait until dawn."

"I'm worried they'll dispose of the body after I leave." Jerry said angrily, "Why are these two bastards in charge of this area."

"They're only in charge here temporarily." Tom saw that Jerry was very angry now, and he chose to tolerate Jerry's temper.

It patted Jerry's arm and said, "Big cousin is already in the police car, we at least..."

Before it finished speaking, a few black people walked up not far away.

Jerry glanced at the tattoos on their arms, got up and wanted to leave, but they stopped him.

This is a group of black gangs, and now that the big cousin is away, Jerry doesn't think he and Tom will be their opponents.

Deeply influenced by Ethan, Jerry honestly took out his wallet and offered it with both hands before the other party opened his mouth.

The other party didn't expect Jerry to be so cowardly, and he didn't react for a while.

Jerry felt that he had done what he should do, and wanted to leave while hugging Tom.

After walking a few steps, he was stopped again.

Looking at the unfriendly black people in front of him, Jerry knew that he couldn't be kind today.

Jerry found that since he finished asking people in the alley, his luck has become particularly bad.
