You have managed to get my attention!

After Sylvia's matter was resolved, Mu Zili and Ning Zhe could finally leave Illinois and return to normal campus life.

No, maybe not quite normal.

"Hey! Moore, Warren!" Seeing them coming back, the two brothers Bart and Barton rushed up to give them a bear hug, and then said happily: "Okay, you two guys, you are not in Illinois. Forgot to handle the case, the sheriff of our family was full of praise for you, saying that it was the first time he saw a criminal who confessed his crime so cooperatively, and asked us to try our best to recruit you two elites to become policemen!"

Ning Zhe put on a look of pity, spread his hands and said, "No, we don't want to deal with criminals all day long. When we finish our studies, Xiao Mu and I will return to China."

Yes, this is something that Mu Zili and Ning Zhe discussed. If it wasn't for the graduation certificate, Mu Zili actually wanted to go back to China now. He has already found out that as long as he stays here, there will always be trouble. he.Now Mu Zili's charity value has risen to 9000, and the cheating level is level 9. In the words of the system, unless he is a highly dangerous lunatic, ordinary criminals are not a threat to him at all.

In addition, there is no reason for Ackerman to keep them, and they will be able to return to the country freely after country M has wiped out the spies of country H without being restricted.

"Go back to China?!" Bart shouted in surprise: "Why do you want to go back to China? You obviously have a lot of resources here. As long as you stay, wouldn't development be much better than staying in your country?"

Mu Zili's face turned serious, "It's because of this that we want to go back even more. Azhe and I are both successors of socialism. We decided to fully implement the core values ​​of socialism and contribute our part to the country and the nation." strength!"

"..." Bart and Barton looked confused.

Ning Zhe couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, we're going back to China to shine, so you don't want us to stay here as some kind of policeman."

Both Muzili and Ning Zhe said that, Bart and the others had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, anyway, it's still very early before graduation, maybe when you will change your mind and decide to stay, I believe Country M is a good choice for you."

Mu Zili knew that the two Bart brothers hadn't given up on their idea, so he just smiled and stopped talking.

After returning to campus life, the days have become longer. Apart from studying and doing research every day, I just date and play with Ning Zhe like an ordinary couple. Sometimes Mu Zili himself feels a little dazed, and feels that such a peaceful life is a bit wrong , but then he shook his head and put this strange thought aside.

What broke the calm was still a phone call. The old police chief Ivan who had officially resigned said that he would introduce the new police chief to Mu Zili, and there was a new serial murder case that needed his assistance.

Without even thinking about it, Mu Zili took Ning Zhe and went to the appointment. On the way, he even thought about what kind of case this time would be, and was a little eager to participate in the case.

When I saw the old Sergeant Iwan again, the old Sergeant Iwan took off his police uniform. He was dressed in a woolen cardigan, like an ordinary old man who can be seen everywhere, with a smiling face, and he did not seem to be in the police force at all. The bureau's deterrent appearance.

"Moore." Old Ivan beckoned to Mu Zili, and when he saw Ning Zhe beside Mu Zili, his smile became a little narrower, "Boy Warren is coming too."

Ning Zhe nodded with a chuckle, and made no secret of his intimacy with Mu Zili in his words, "I don't worry about him, you won't be disgusted with me, the police chief, right?"

"How can I dislike it? It would be better to have you here." Old Ivan knew Ning Zhe's ability, and he was too happy to be able to get two helpers, Mu Zili and Ning Zhe.

"You guys are a little early." Old Ivan looked at his watch, and there were still 10 minutes before the appointed time. "Sit down and order a drink first. The person you're meeting will probably arrive in a while."

Mu Zili and Ning Zhe were not too polite, they ordered a cup of coffee respectively, and then Mu Zili asked about the details of the case.

"Actually, the context of this serial murder case is very clear, and the murderer's identity is also clear. Except that the other party is at large, we have all the information we should have." Although the old Ivan retired from the position of police chief, he still regarded himself as a police officer. As a policeman, at least in the short term, he didn't completely let go of his previous career. Fortunately, the new sheriff was a nice guy and didn't regard him as a nosy guy.

"The murderer's name was Jeffrey Madison. He committed five murders within two months. Two of the dead were his former acquaintances, or to put it more clearly, the two of them were friends with him. Pass."

"Is it because of the stimulation of breaking up?" Mu Zili asked, "His girlfriend dumped him? Or is he too controlling, or too low self-esteem?"

Old Ivan shook his head and said, "Those two are men, yes, Jeffrey is gay."

Hearing the word homosexuality, Mu Zili felt a little awkward, because he seemed to have become a homosexual without knowing it, and he was always a little worried about other people's eyes.

Old Ivan patted Mu Zili's hand, signaling Mu Zili not to be so concerned, "There is nothing wrong with homosexuality, whether it is a union of male and female, male and male, female and female, as long as it is out of love, then Both deserve to be blessed. I think you made the right choice, Warren is a perfect match for you."

Ning Zhe pinched Mu Zili's palm, and Mu Zi's face was reddish, and it was very rare for him to take the initiative to hold Ning Zhe's hand in front of others.

Old Ivan was dazzled by the sparks from the collision of the two young people in front of him, he coughed lightly, and continued: "Jeffrey's relationship with those two people is not a lover in the ordinary sense, he relies on those two people Living, quite well known in local circles, known as 'Popular Geoffrey' by those in the circle."

Mu Zili heard the contempt from old Ivan's tone, and he guessed in disbelief, "Is he...a male prostitute?"

Old Ivan did not deny that the identity of the serial murderer this time was quite different from the usual criminals, "He works for a recruiting company, and the guests are very satisfied with him, and some people even specially invite him to stay overnight , it can be said that he is very attractive to men."

"Jeffrey looks for wealthy single men and makes a living from them. The two who died had good jobs and careers respectively. The car and house Jeffrey owned were gifts from them. It is known to Jeffrey Some people say that Jeffrey claims he came from a wealthy family, is very close to the President, owns a private jet and a townhouse, and that his father is an oil tycoon rich enough to buy several towns."

Ning Zhe laughed out loud when he heard this, "It seems that this murderer is still a vain liar. The reason why he suddenly killed someone is because of some changes in his life?"

Old Ivan replied: "Just two months ago, his 'boyfriend' broke up with him. I heard that he didn't buy a yacht for him. Who knows, after all, Jeffrey's luxurious life is difficult to maintain. Going on, his credit card is more than [-] in arrears, and he even sold the car."

"If he just killed his two boyfriends out of revenge, what about the other three cases?" Mu Zili knocked on the table and thought, "It will make you arrest a murderer with a clear identity." As a tricky person, it seems that he has no fixed method of committing crimes, and it is impossible to foresee who his next target will be?"

Old Ivan glanced at Mu Zili appreciatively, "That's a good guess, that's exactly what we're worried about, especially because he has a wide range of activities, and there are quite a few people who fit his targets. In view of his harmfulness, we must Bring him to justice as soon as possible."

"Target crowd?" Ning Zhe asked old Ivan, "Judging from Jeffrey's vain personality, are the victims of the other three cases rich and successful?"

"Yes." The person who answered Ning Zhe's question was not old Ivan, but another young man who walked to their table at some unknown time.

"Jeffrey only targets those 'celebrities'. If he commits another major crime and causes social repercussions, then our police department will bear the reputation of being incompetent again." The man shrugged slightly, looking quite helpless.

At the first sight of the man, Mu Zili opened his eyes wide in surprise. At the same time, the old Ivan stood up and introduced to Mu Zili and Ning Zhe, "This is the newly transferred man from the police station. Sergeant Ed Douglas, although he is so young, is actually an excellent police officer with rich experience and extraordinary strength."

Ed Douglas smiled when he heard this, "Compared with you, I have much more to learn."

Ed Douglas's compliment didn't sound hypocritical at all, and it could be seen from the eyes of the other party that he really thought so, so old Ivan smiled very happily.

"Ed, this is the case-solving expert I want to recommend to you." Old Ivan was about to introduce the names of Mu Zili and Ning Zhe to let the two sides know each other, but Ed Douglas smiled and said, "We know each other."

"...know?" Old Ivan was puzzled.

The young police chief stretched out his hand to Mu Zili, "I didn't expect to meet again, Moore..." He looked at Ning Zhe, "There is also Mr. Warren."

Muzili shook hands with Ed Douglas, and said in a daze, "Sheriff Douglas, why are you here?" The sheriff who had met once before would become the new police officer of the Quepos District Police Department. long?Is this too much of a coincidence?

Mu Zili subconsciously became suspicious of the other party, it should be said...he doubted all the people who approached him suddenly, and he was much more wary of others than before, even if this young sheriff looked upright and harmless.

After Ed Douglas shook hands with Muzili, he shook hands with Ning Zhe again. His performance from the beginning to the end was normal. He sat down naturally and explained to old Ivan: "When I was on official business in Illinois, , I happened to meet these two people, and I can say that they have helped me a lot. It turns out that they are the ones you want to introduce to me. No wonder you are full of praise for them. If I can have their help, I believe the case will be successful. progress."

Just when Mu Zili was still considering whether Douglas happened to meet them, Ning Zhe had already taken up the conversation, and responded to Ed Douglas in a friendly way: "It is our responsibility to help Sheriff Douglas. pleasure."

Old Ivan was simply overjoyed. The few people he admired could get along so quickly, and he could really feel relieved and leave all these matters to young people like them.

There was no silence in the conversation that followed. Douglas unreservedly narrated the clues they had obtained by the police, and Ning Zhe also expressed some of his speculations.After knowing the basic situation, they agreed to go to the police station to discuss next time, and Mu Zili and Ning Zhe bid farewell to the two police chiefs.

After going out, Mu Zili looked at Ning Zhe suspiciously, "You were too warm and friendly to that Sergeant Douglas today, it's not like you."

Ning Zhe deliberately joked, "Are you jealous?"

Mu Zili glared at Ning Zhe, "Don't be silly."

"Hey... I was jealous when I saw you shaking hands with him." Ning Zhe's eyes flashed, and he clasped fingers with Mu Zili, "I really don't want to see this kind of person by your side."

"You suspect that there is something wrong with him?" Mu Zili was curious. Could it be that Ning Zhe discovered something?

"Not yet. But I know you are worried about him. In that case, let's take a good look at what kind of person he is."

"Xiao Mu, I will not let those dangerous elements approach you again." Ning Zhe said.
