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

Ethan had a strange dream. In the dream, he knelt on one knee and held a small box to propose to Al.

Al looked at him with a smile, stretched out his hand and said shyly, "Aren't you going to wear a ring for me, dear Ethan."

Ethan hastily opened the small box in his hand, and then the dream was messed up.

Instead of a diamond ring, the box contained a little mouse in a black top hat.

"Jerry! What are you doing here!" Ethan growled.

The little mouse half-opened its eyes, glanced at him lazily and said, "I'm Jerry's cousin, I have something to ask you."

Speaking of it, Ethan's carefully prepared marriage proposal ceremony was burned, and by the way, Al in his dream was also smashed to pieces.

Ethan yelled Al, and sat up abruptly.

He panted violently, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and thought to himself that this was really an absurd dream.

He glanced at the clock on the wall, it was now [-]:[-], and he had just slept for less than three hours.

It was still early before dawn, and Ethan lay down and turned over to continue sleeping.

Just as he closed his eyes, the small desk lamp on the bedside table suddenly turned on.

Ethan looked over suspiciously, and saw two Jerrys standing next to his small desk lamp.

One of Jerry was blinking his big eyes at him, and his round face was full of happiness.

Another 'Jerry' is wearing a top hat, leaning on a long wand, with a mysterious smile on his face.It's obviously just a mouse, but Ethan thinks it looks like a magic stick.

"Ethan, this is my cousin, he's a magician." Before he finished speaking, Jerry opened his laptop and said triumphantly, "Look, my surveillance camera caught the murderer's hand!"

Speaking of it, he handed Ethan a magnifying glass, and Ethan was already distracted by the appearance of the two Jerrys. He took the magnifying glass and squinted his eyes to watch the video.

"This is a major discovery, Ethan, hurry up and record it, here..." It said halfway, the little cousin pushed its shoulder and said: "Don't worry, he is recording."

It was another night, the murderer was still on the run, and the people in the team were still busy with this matter,

They already have a general direction, but the scope is still a bit large, and it will take some time to pinpoint the murderer.

"You and Ethan..." Morgan took a cup of coffee and chatted with Al: "It can be seen that he still likes you."

Al was sorting out the materials, and when she heard Morgan's words, her expression gradually softened.

"I know, he always puts his thoughts on his face." Al pursed his lips and said with a smile: "He's pretty good, but we don't get along well. He likes a stable life."

"You don't like it?" Morgan asked curiously.

"It's good to be stable, but occasionally I also look forward to some little romance." Not knowing what to think of, Al's shoulders drooped, and she sighed: "The most important thing is that he hates risks, and he always wants me to change my job." Work."

"I can understand that not everyone can accept that their family members are on the line of life and death every day." Halfway through Morgan's speech, Al's phone vibrated.

She nodded apologetically and stood aside to answer the phone.

A weak voice came from the microphone, and Al frowned when she heard it. She whispered, "Hi, Ethan? What's the matter?"

"It's like this Al, I, I have a new clue about the Christmas Devil." Ethan yawned and said tiredly.

"Your tone doesn't sound like it." Al said helplessly, "So what did you find?"

"I'm just too sleepy, you know, I haven't slept in a long time." Ethan glanced at Jerry sitting on the bed, and continued: "I found a video, and I can't say what it is. But It has something to do with the Christmas Devil, and it captured the killer's left hand, so I thought it might help the case."

"Send it to me." Al stood up straight and said excitedly: "If you are sure that it is the murderer, even if it is only one hand, we can deduce his work."

She paused, and said seriously: "You helped a lot, Ethan, thank you."

Ethan was a little embarrassed, he faltered a few words, hung up the phone and urgently sent the video, then held his phone and waited expectantly for Al's reply.

Jerry's little cousin stood aside with his wand, his eyes shot at Ethan, and he raised his eyebrows and commented: "Too ordinary, Jerry, he won't be a good partner. If you want to develop in the long run, It’s best to find a reliable teammate.”

Jerry was sitting on Ethan's shoulder and looking at his phone screen. Hearing that, he turned his head in doubt and asked, "But I think he's very nice."

Ethan noticed the conversation between the two mice. He twitched the corner of his mouth and picked up the little cousin by the tail. He shook the little mouse in his hand back and forth, and joked: "Who would say bad things in front of people? Be careful I feed you to the cat."

The little cousin supported his top hat, gave Ethan a faint look, and said slowly: "Weak, sensitive, emotional. You will be a friend in times of trouble, but you will not be Jerry's right-hand man."

I don't know that those words touched Ethan's nerves, and his face gradually darkened.He took a deep breath, as if telling himself not to argue with a little mouse.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Jerry stood up quickly to persuade him to fight, and then the little cousin suddenly tapped the tip of Ethan's nose with his wand. Ethan, who was still talking, seemed to be frozen, keeping his mouth open and motionless.

Seeing that the little cousin was about to walk along Ethan's arm to his mouth, Jerry ran over to hug the little cousin and said nervously: "Cousin, calm down! He is different from Tom, he has a lot of blood in his stomach." There will be no small animals!"

"I just want to see what's in his mind." The little cousin still had a playful smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.It pushed Jerry away and went straight into Ethan's mouth.

Jerry was terrified watching from the side. He thought there would be a sound of flipping things in Ethan's head, but the little cousin came out within a few seconds.

It wiped the drool on the top hat, frowned and said doubtfully: "I can't get in, I don't know why."

"The structure of his body is more complicated than I thought." The little cousin snapped his fingers casually, and Ethan, who was originally immobilized, regained control of his body.

He shook off the two little mice on his arms, took two steps back trembling, and ran into the bathroom with a terrified scream.

Jerry was carried by his little cousin's magic pigeon, looked at the bathroom and said worriedly: "You scared him."

The little cousin folded his arms and said calmly: "He is really timid."

"He's just an ordinary human being, and it's probably the first time he's seen a magic mouse." Jerry seriously defended Ethan, "He's actually quite courageous. He was an operator before."

"Magic mouse?" The little cousin said suspiciously: "No, I'm just an ordinary magician."

Jerry shrugged and said nothing, and the phone that fell on the ground vibrated.Jerry looked down and the caller ID read 'wife'

The little cousin also saw Ethan's note, touched his chin and said with interest, "I guess it's from Al."

Jerry also thinks it should be Al, it doesn't know why Ethan and Al broke up before.But it can be seen that Ethan still misses Al, there is still a photo of the two of them on the bedside table, and the computer desktop wallpaper is also Al's photo.

Jerry picked up the buzzing and vibrating cell phone and raised it above his head, then trotted to the bathroom.The phone vibrated, and Jerry jumped along with it. It bumped all the way, and the little cousin kindly tapped his wand to help it open the door of the bathroom.

"Ethan Ethan, your phone!" Jerry's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was startled by the scene inside.

Ethan lay on the sink and brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth continuously, as if he wanted to clean his mouth thoroughly.

"Oh... Poor Ethan." Jerry said distressedly: "Quick, Al is calling, let her hug you."

Before it finished speaking, Ethan snatched the phone, covered his face and said hoarsely, "Hi, Al."

"Your video is really useful. Although I don't know how you took it, it is the murderer's left hand!" Al said excitedly: "We have determined the murderer's occupation, age and living habits through this. We Several suspects have been identified, and the murderer is among them, and now this case will be solved soon!"

"It's never been so smooth." Al sighed: "Ethan, you did a great job, oh Ethan..."

Ethan coughed violently a few times, and said in a stuttering voice, "Really, it's really helpful to you, ahem, that's great."

Al noticed the abnormality in his voice, and said hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?"

Ethan was very aggrieved. As soon as he said that he accidentally ate a mouse, Jerry knocked on a small gong to attract his attention.

"Don't say what you think in your head, that's too bad!" Jerry climbed up to the sink along Ethan's trouser legs, and it tilted his head and said: "Show your joy, and treat her well." At the same time, don’t forget to let her worry about you a little bit, and make her feel that she should come and care about you, so that you have a reason to be alone with her.”

Ethan had a bitter face as if he had eaten a mouse. After thinking for a moment, he pretended to be calm and said to Al: "It's nothing, I just watched, and I choked on my drink. After all, this news is really exciting."

"That's bad." Jerry said with a grin, and the little cousin nodded while sitting on the pigeon.

Hearing its sound, Ethan jumped up and huddled in the corner of the bathroom, looking at Jerry's little cousin in horror and helplessness.

The little cousin commented: "He is as unreliable as Tom, why are you surrounded by such males, Jerry?"

...

With doubts, Al answered lightly and hung up the phone.

When she returned to the conference room, her colleagues were in a good mood, and even Director Hodge's serious expression relaxed a lot.

He nodded to Al and asked, "How is Ethan?"

"It's still not optimistic. When this matter is over, I will go to accompany him for several inspections."

Hodge tapped the table to attract everyone's attention.

"The murderer was an adult black male between the ages of 30-40 who performed manual labor. He enjoyed expressing himself and wanting to be awed by others, which he could not achieve in real life. He rarely received approval from others , lack of friends and family around, it may be a single-parent family, and there is a high chance of divorce in the near future.”

Hodge projected the suspect's information given by Garcia on the screen. He paused and continued: "He was very popular when he was a student, at least he was not unknown. He may have participated in club activities such as baseball or basketball. And he is highly sought after for his excellent performance. He is not an impulsive person, more than pretending to be himself and strong self-control. He has no record of theft or school bullying. Compared with the skills learned in prison, I am more inclined to him Criminal techniques learned through observation and research."

"In other words, what he possesses is not criminal skills." Gordon looked at the projection and folded his arms and said, "It's the ability to track criminals."

"I think we should send the police to protect Ethan." Al suggested: "The murderer may have worked as a police detective, or he may have graduated from a police school. He is eloquent, good at fighting, and eager to succeed. This is a terrible criminal, the whole Internet is reporting about the Christmas Devil, he has already tasted the sweetness, but there is still a small flaw in his perfect performance, and that is Ethan."

"Ethan is a potential victim in the Christmas Devil case. The murderer may not kill Ethan, but the murderer hopes to read such news from the newspaper." Al's hand on the table tightened slightly, and she took a deep breath Shen Sheng said: "I saw the news that the operator was driven crazy by the case and committed suicide."
