"I'll hang up if there's nothing else to discuss."

"Ian, I will leave everything I have to you."

"I do not need."

"Because I know you'll do the right thing with them. I'd just be more interested in watching money make the world rot."

Ian hung up the phone.

Hayley would die one day, something like that never even occurred to Ian.Of course, he had imagined blowing the bastard's head off countless times, but it was just blowing his head off.Unless some unexpected accident happened, in Ian's heart, it was impossible for him to see Haili meet God, oh no, the moment he went to hell.

Only then did Ian realize that in his subconscious mind, he never wanted Hailey to die before him.

But if, just to say, if one day, he died in front of Haili, is there another person who can watch Haili?

They came to the interrogation room of the New York Police Department, where they met Johnson, the husband of the deceased Jie Yin.

Ian and Haley did not rush in to interrogate him, but observed Johnson's reaction in the observation room.

At this moment, he was very nervous, his hands were pinching each other constantly, he couldn't even sit quietly, he got up and walked around from time to time, or shook his legs.

Hailey looked at Johnson with great interest, poking his finger through the glass, "Ian, guess what he's thinking?"

"His lawyer is coming soon," Ian reminded.They didn't have much time to prepare Johnson for their interrogation.

"This guy is thinking, oh my god, I killed my own wife, but I was forced! Is that considered homicide? Is this considered first-degree murder? If I can clear my name, I'll be justified. I got Jie Yin's money! But what if it's considered murder?"

Hailey's tone became another person completely, impatient and anxious, as if he had entered Johnson's brain and understood everything in it.His breath brushed over the glass of the observation room, leaving behind a thin layer of mist.And his slightly drooping eyelids and the corners of his lips smiling slightly seemed to be laughing at everything.

Ian felt inexplicably uncomfortable.Did he also belong to the part of being laughed at by Haley.

"Let's go, it's time to go in."

"Do you need me to accompany you in?" Hailey leaned towards Ian with his pockets in his pocket, as if he was about to kiss.

"Then you stay here."

After finishing speaking, Ian left the observation room and walked into the interrogation room.

He pulled out his chair and sat down, looking at Johnson coldly.

Johnson took a breath and tried his best to look calm, "I know what you are going to say to me! Before my lawyer comes, I choose to remain silent!"

That's very wise to say.He knew very well that his hands had been tested for gunpowder smoke reaction, even if he claimed that he was forced to kill Jieyin, as long as he accidentally said something wrong, the police might still seize the opportunity to accuse him of murder.

"I'm not interested in whether you killed your wife."

Because that is already a fact, and even the process can be guessed to be indistinguishable.

"Then...then what do you want to know?"

"How did you and Jie Yin be locked in the van?" Ian's voice didn't have a trace of ups and downs.He just wants to know the cause of everything objectively.

Johnson's emotions finally began to fluctuate. He pressed his hand hard on the table, looked into Ian's eyes and said, "That man is a lunatic! He must be a lunatic!"

"I don't need to know any of your feelings, I just want to know how it all happened." Ian's voice remained flat, completely suppressing Johnson's desire to win sympathy and self-justification.

"...It was two days ago that my wife Jie Yin suddenly said that she wanted to prepare dinner...Since she became the manager of the company, I have hardly eaten dinner made by her. She was very excited and bought A lot of things, and I was waiting for her in the underground garage of the supermarket. When she pushed the trolley to the back of the car, I opened the rear compartment and put the things in together. Suddenly, I felt someone came to my Behind me, I turned around subconsciously, only felt a stabbing pain in my neck, and passed out. I still vaguely remember the scream of Jieyin in my ears... When I regained consciousness, I found that Jieyin and I were in the same car …There was a dim light in the car, and there was something like a radio in the corner of the car. I slapped around desperately, but all sides were solid… I shouted loudly, but no matter how many times there was no response! "

"And then?" Ian lowered his head and sent a text message to Fern Keating, asking him to check the surveillance video of the underground parking lot of the Westlife supermarket that day.

"By the time Jie Yin woke up, someone in the car came over the radio and said to us that if we want to live, one of us must kill the other with a gun. Otherwise, we will suffocate and die before he digs us out... ...I was forced...I was really forced! Please believe me!" Johnson tried to grab Ian's wrist, but Ian withdrew it.

"I don't care if you did it on purpose or were forced to. I just need to know the facts."

Ian got up to leave, and two police officers came in and took Johnson away.

In the corridor, Haili leaned against the wall with his pockets in his pocket, and looked at Ian's approaching figure with a smile.

"Honey, I think the murderer made a mistake this time."

"What is wrong?"

"Before, the murderer's target was two people with a deep emotional bond. For example, the Dalton brothers and sisters, for example, the Karl couple. But Jie Yin and Johnson? Just now the New York police told me that Johnson was having an affair, and he wanted to Divorce with Jie Yin. Not only that, but he also wants to share Jie Yin's inheritance. He has already found a divorce lawyer, and he also wants to hide the news of his cheating."

Hailey's smile was still full of sarcasm, but this time Ian knew exactly who he was taunting.

"So, Johnson is a scumbag."

"Uh huh." Haili walked around Ian, faced Johnson's back, raised his voice and said, "Hey, Johnson, do you know that when Jieyin was shot in the heart by you, she was pregnant ?”

Johnson turned around, his eyes were full of surprise, "What did you... say?"

"I said she was pregnant. Exactly two months. She went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, just to tell you the news by the way to make a delicious dinner." Haili walked in step by step, the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows was like a church. Holy Angel of Pure White Blessing.

Johnson took a step back slightly, "...she's pregnant..."

"Oh, and, according to Jieyin's will, she clearly stated that her property will be left to you. Congratulations, you killed a woman who willingly gave everything for you, and your child."

Hailey blinked, then turned around abruptly.

Ian saw a gloomy look in his eyes.

"You think he'll feel guilty hearing the news?" Ian asked.

"Probably not. After all, he is a complete egoist. Maybe he is still secretly glad in his heart, thanking the murderer for giving him a legitimate reason to kill his wife."

When the corridor of the police station was empty for a brief moment, Ian felt a force coming from behind him, and just as he was about to press him against the wall, he raised his knees abruptly.

Even without thinking about it, Ian knew it was Hailey.This guy doesn't know what's going on again.

Haili had expected Ian's reaction long ago. The moment he pressed Ian's knee with one hand, Ian suddenly turned sideways, and his knee hit his waist.At that moment, Haili showed a slightly surprised expression. Even though he was hit hard, he didn't make any sound. Instead, he raised his elbows and pressed him to the ground with the force of smashing Ian's shoulders.

"Ugh—" Ian groaned, staggered against the wall, and almost fell down, but Hailey raised his knee to support him.

It was an extremely ambiguous gesture, and his knee rubbed upwards along the inside of Ian's knee until it touched the most vulnerable part of the man.

Through the trousers, Ian could clearly feel Haili's temperature.He even moved slightly, as if implying some indescribable emotion in Ian.

All the blood vessels seemed to be strangled, and the blood clamored not knowing where to flow.

Ian could clearly hear his heartbeat and his drawn out breath.

"What do you want to do?"

He looked at Haili with unprecedented oppression in his eyes.

"Of course it is to punish you. Didn't you just say that Johnson is a scumbag? What about you? You know that I have been waiting for you in New York, but you have a child outside?"

The look on Hailey's face was laid-back.

"Move your legs away." Ian raised his eyes, and he knew Hailey was moody.

But he originally thought that Haili would not be entangled in Evan's affairs anymore, but he didn't expect this guy to still refuse to give up.

"Otherwise?" Haili leaned towards Ian, his brows and eyes were so clearly defined, "Are you going to pinch my leg off?"

Not far away, two police officers walked over while chatting.

Ian turned his face away, and there was a chill in his eyes, "If you really want to give it a try, I have no problem. And you are not angry about Evan at all, you just want to trouble me."

Haili showed a resentful expression, and retracted his knee.

Ian straightened his back, and the moment he straightened his collar and relaxed his guard slightly, Haili held his shoulders again and squeezed against the wall.

Two police officers brushed past them with strange expressions.

"Hey, what's up with them?"

"They're from the FBI, mind your own business!"

Until the two walked further and further away, the smile on Haili's face seemed to fall into the sky at the sea level, and everything became cold.

"Tell me, when you were fooling around with Jennifer, did you think of me even for a moment?"

"Can't you always predict my thoughts? Then you should know, have I ever thought of you?"

"Okay, I'm willing to give it a try." Hailey freed up a hand, and brushed the hair on Ian's forehead with his fingertips, covering his eyes.

Ian tried to move, but Hailey's other hand was still firmly on his shoulder.

Hailey, 15, was still very thin.

In the past eight years, what did he eat to become what he is now?

Even though he was very experienced in combat, he was suppressed by Haili, who had never seen a hail of bullets. Ian said that he did not feel the slightest sense of frustration, which was a lie.

"What the hell do you want to do!"

"Want to understand what's going on in your mind? Ah, are you thinking that this guy was thin and small before, how could he easily subdue you, a veteran in his prime, in just eight years?"

Even if he couldn't see it, Ian knew that this guy was getting closer and closer.

His breath brushed the tip of Ian's nose, and Ian could clearly imagine the corners of this guy's lips, the elegant and ambiguous lip line.

"I said, don't rely on me..."

so close.

He remembered the feeling of being pierced by a bullet in the heart, tense as if trying to drain all the blood in an instant.

And only Hailey in the world could make him feel that way again and again.

Ian just opened his mouth, and Hailey kissed it.

He pushed so hard that the back of Ian's head was firmly pressed against the wall, and he had the illusion that his head would split open at any moment.

Ian subconsciously stretched out his hands to push him away.Everything is about to go off track.

But Haili squeezed the tip of his tongue in even harder. No matter how hard Ian tried to push him out, the opponent would counterattack with doubled strength, and finally collapsed thousands of miles away.

When everything was out of control, something boiled in the depths of Ian's mind.

He couldn't be at the mercy of Hayley forever, let this guy eat his space endlessly after eight years of his time!

Ian suddenly went down, and at the moment when Haili lost his balance slightly due to inertia, he suddenly turned sideways, reached out to hold his waist, and pushed him away violently.

Everything is fast and unpredictable.

Hailey took a step back and managed to maintain his balance.

He stroked his chin and said with great interest, "Hey, Uncle Ian, you've improved! You actually changed your usual attack pattern?"

It's not that I want to change my attack mode, but none of the enemies I face is as shameless as you.

Of course, in this case, Ian will only keep it in his heart.

He stared at Haili coldly, cutting his flesh and blood like a blade.

Haili lowered his head and leisurely flicked the corner of his suit.

At this moment, Ian suddenly picked up his collar and stared at him vigorously, "Please remember, there has never been 'fooling around' between me and Jennifer. If you use any insulting words in On her body, I will not let you go."

Hailey raised his chin and looked at Ian coolly, "Not fooling around? Then are you serious? Do you want to marry her? Then take little Evan and live a happy family life? Then And me?"

"If you're going to dwell on Jennifer's and my past endlessly, you can ask Maddy Ron to break up our partnership at any time."

"So now the bad guy is me again, right? Uncle Ian, you're so crafty. Why don't you be honest and tell your Jennifer that every time you hug her and kiss her, you can't help but think of me ?Even when you are at your happiest and most selfless, you still can’t help but wonder in your heart, how would it feel if my hug and my kiss would bring you?”

Haili's gaze gently slid over Ian's nerves inch by inch, wrapped in countless threads, swaying gently in the warmth, unable to distinguish the direction of the sky and the earth.

"Go see a doctor, Haley. You seem to be getting sicker."

Ian turned around coldly, and Haili lazily followed behind him.Even without turning his head, Ian could feel how this guy's eyes lingered on his waist.

Turning around suddenly, Ian punched Hailey hard on the jaw.

This guy reacted quickly, not only resisting Ian's attack, but even grabbed his wrist to twist Ian's arm behind him.

Ian slammed back hard, then elbowed Hayley in the chest.

Haley finally coughed, "Ian—are you trying to kill me like this?"

"If you dare to do what you did just now, of course I will kill you."

"'Just now'? What is it referring to?" Haili raised his head with an innocent look on his face.

Ian ignored him and drove back to the office.He had to put his heart and soul into his work, and he didn't want to let Hayley Russell shake him even a little bit.Because he knew very well that as long as he gave Hailey a gap, this guy could drive straight in.

Everyone wants to be in control of their life, and Ian is no exception.

But Hailey... is good at controlling other people's lives.

It's just that once he calmed down, Ian felt that Haili's breath was still spreading from the corners of his nose and lips.Raising his hands to cover his eyes, Ian took a deep breath.

Hailey stood outside Ian's office, staring at the closed door for a long time.

At this time, Jessica happened to pass by with a cup of coffee, and she couldn't help but sighed when she saw Haili's appearance, "I said honey, it's useless for you to be affectionate where he can't see."

"Why is he refusing to tell me the truth no matter how hard I try?" Haley deliberately made an aggrieved expression towards Jessica.

Jessica hugged Haili with open arms, "That's because you didn't tell him enough truth."

At this time, Ian got up and poured himself a cup of coffee, comparing the case of Mr. Gordon 15 years ago with the cases of the Dalton brothers and sisters, the Carls and the Johnsons 15 years later.

In the case of Mr. Gordon, he and his wife should have encountered a trap set by the murderer on the road.Mr. Gordon mistakenly thought that he had injured someone, but it was actually a corpse that the murderer had prepared long ago.There was some kind of mechanism in the neck of the corpse, and when Mr. Gordon touched the neck of the corpse, the mechanism was triggered and he was shocked.After Mr. Gordon was brought down, his wife, as a woman, was more easily subdued.

Ian specifically checked the newspapers from 15 years ago. Almost all of the reports focused on what happened after the Gordons were locked in the van, and there were not many descriptions of how they were caught by the murderer.Especially in the part of being shocked by electric shock, Mr. Gordon did not realize that he was shocked by electric shock at the beginning of his rescue, but emphasized that he felt a tingling pain, and fainted as if his heart was about to stop. It was later that Mr. Gordon's fingers were checked At the time, the forensic personnel determined that he had suffered an electric shock based on his description and symptoms.That is to say, to the newspaper-reading public, few people knew that Mr. Gordon was corona.

In the case of the Dalton brothers and sisters, the elder brother also stated that he suffered an electric shock.Now Johnson also said that he was stunned while loading things in the back of the underground parking garage.

Ian hurriedly called Dr. Byrne.

"Hey, dear Ian, it's you calling me. I've been thinking lately."

"Thinking about what?" Ian believed that he was not thinking about life.

"Thinking how happy I would be if you were lying on my dissecting table."

"So?" Ian asked coolly.

"You know the popular cosplay now? Why don't you cosplay a dead body? Like a maid costume or a bunny girl in Playboy! Oh my God, I can't help but imagine me poking your bunny ears with a scalpel Yes. I'll pay you fifty dollars an hour. I heard that you have a son to support now. Is my part-time job a good salary?"

"Before I cosplay a corpse or a maid or some kind of rabbit, please answer me a question."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"Is there any trace of electric shock on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Karl?"

"Aha, that's an interesting question. Carl does have shock marks on the side of his neck."

"Thank you."

Just as Ian was about to hang up the phone, Dr. Bourne's voice sounded again, "So what about the cosplay corpse?"

"Doctor Bourne, you also know that I have a son, right?"

"so what?"

"So if I go to cosplay corpses or maids or rabbits, it's not good for the child's mental health, and it will make him have a biased understanding of the world."

"Ian, you've been with Haili for too long, and you've been led astray by him. You actually learned the trick of pretending to consider other people's demands before you pat your ass and leave!"

"Don't mention that person's name to me."

"Why not? At least you were cuter just now."

After hanging up Dr. Bourne's phone call, Ian pondered.That is to say, comparing the case 15 years ago and the three cases now, there is another thing in common, and that is electric shock.

There are obviously other ways to capture the victim, but the murderer has not changed it. If it is just because the murderer thinks the electric shock is more effective or the murderer regards it as a sign of his crime, such a coincidence makes Ian feel unnatural .

Ian always felt that for some reason, the murderer tried his best to restore the serial murders 15 years ago.But what is the purpose?In order to pay tribute to the predecessors 15 years ago?Simply obsessed with the original modus operandi?Or does it have other meanings.

Ian decided to visit Mr. Gordon again.

He came to Gordon's house, but Mr. Gordon was not there, only Mr. Gordon's son Hunter was at home.And there seemed to be another guest at home, a sunny and handsome young man who seemed to be about the same age as Hunter.

Hunter's complexion is not very good, it seems that he is not happy with the guests.

"Ah, hello, Agent Connor." Hunter turned his face sideways when he opened the door, as if looking for Haley.

"Agent Russell has other jobs, so he didn't come." Ian lied.

"Don't get me wrong." Hunter shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "If he comes, I will feel a lot of pressure. He always smiles and pierces the scars in other people's hearts."

"He is indeed like this." Ian nodded slightly, "Since your father is not here, then I will visit again next time."

At this time, the guest sitting on the sofa stood up, walked to Hunter, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Hunter, is this your new boyfriend? Although he is indeed handsome, he looks serious and cold , are you sure you're used to it?"

Hunter frowned, and he elbowed the other party away, holding back his anger and said, "He's a federal agent. And Shemer, you should go, I have nothing to talk to you about."

It turned out that this was Shemer.I remember the last time I came here, Hunter's sister seemed to like this guy very much, but it's a pity that seeing this guy's reaction, he was quite interesting to Hunter.

Ian didn't take Shemer's words to heart, after all, Haley went too far than him.

He asked Hunter about when Mr. Gordon would come back, and then drove to leave.

Unexpectedly, after driving for less than 5 minutes, Ian felt that someone was following him.He stopped the car decisively, and the other party also stopped the car beside him.

The car window rolled down, and it was Xie Mo's big smile.

"Hi, Feds."

"what's up?"

"I hear you're investigating a case from 15 years ago? Or is it because of the recent 'truck carriage murder' on the highway?"

Ian frowned slightly, and asked coldly, "What's the 'truck car murder'?"

"Stop pretending, it's everywhere on the Internet." Xie Mo shook his phone.

Ian quickly lowered his head and searched the Internet, and found that he did not know who had leaked these serial murders to the Internet. Although the details were not clear, it was mentioned that the murderer threatened to suffocate the two close relatives and victims to fight each other. The chances of survival have thus sparked heated discussions about a series of murders 15 years ago.

It is conceivable that Maddy Ron had such a headache at this moment that he pulled out the few hairs he had.

Who leaked it?Is it a victim?Jerry Dalton had a nervous breakdown, and it was impossible for him to leak it to the news media.

And Johnson has been detained in the police station, and Carl and Joanna's parents are not very clear about what happened.Could it be that the New York police leaked it?

"Can't you tell me what you all found?" Sheamer asked.

"Why are you so interested in that case?"

"I'm after Hunter, can't you see? But this guy has been obsessed with the past, brooding over the case from 15 years ago. In the past, he would blame his father, speak coldly to his father, and get rid of him if he didn't go home. Not going home. And you see now, he is a good son at home, walking and having dinner with his father ... I just want to know what made Hunter change."

"Maybe he just stopped running away from the past and recognized who was the one who paid the most for him. Of course, that person can't be you."

Ian turned his head away, and within two seconds of stepping on the accelerator, he heard the sound of Sheamer's car engine.The guy slammed the car out and ran across Ian's car.
