Peng Ziqian was very tired when she walked out of the police station, and her home, which she had given a bad impression, seemed even more unsafe now, so she didn't go back that night, but found a hotel outside to stay.

The next day, thinking of the unrecognizable living room that had been beaten in that house, she decided to find a decoration company to redecorate it, and then moved to the second apartment left for her by her family.

Three days later, the decoration company told her that the work had been completed and asked her to check and accept her before returning to the house.

It was early in the morning, and she stood outside the door to see that the broken windows and the smashed door had been repaired, and she was about to go in when someone came out of the house next door.

The houses in this rich area are all independent. It's hard to say that everyone is a neighbor, especially for a person like Peng Ziqian who is away all the year round. However, she and Zoe next door have gotten along pretty well this month.

Zoe Morgan is a very imposing woman, she specializes in doing things for those powerful people, dealing with the upper class.This requires considerable brains and emotional intelligence as well as a cautious character, as well as considerable political savvy and not very curious heart. Peng Ziqian admires people like Zoe very much, so when Zoe saw her and called her name, Peng Ziqian was very excited. He happily answered her, "Sister Zoe, good morning."

Peng Ziqian will call this beautiful neighbor Zoe, because it is more friendly and will not be confused with her colleague Morgan.

"Adele." Zooey stopped in front of the waiting car at the door, turned to her and smiled, "I haven't seen you recently."

"Having a thief at home makes me feel quite insecure." Peng Ziqian shrugged and said, looking back at his own door.

"Nowhere is safe in this world." Zooey reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her young neighbor.

"Hmm." Peng Ziqian pursed her lips helplessly, and then she saw the driver standing behind Zoe waiting for her, and the moment she saw his face clearly, she was stunned.

Three nights ago, she had seen this man in a suit at her home.But she didn't speak, Zooey had already turned her head to look at her driver, "Who are you?" She asked, "Where is my original driver?"

"He was temporarily ill, so the company sent me, the best one, to serve you." The other party said without saying a word.

"..." Zooey obviously felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate. She took a cold look at the self-proclaimed driver and took out her mobile phone, "Is it the best or not? You decide, and then made a call."

Standing at the back, Peng Ziqian vaguely heard what the company explained to Zoe on the phone, and then looked at the man in the suit. It was obvious that his job was not to drive for the rich, so probably Zoe was going to be unlucky this time .Peng Ziqian saw that the other party smiled at her to express his gratitude to her for not revealing, and then she turned her eyes away from him.At this moment, Zooey turned her head and smiled at Peng Ziqian after finishing the phone call, "I still have something to do."

"Oh, goodbye then." Peng Ziqian nodded quickly and took a step back, watching the two get into the car and leave.

Harold, who was standing behind the yard of Zoe's house, secretly looked at Peng Ziqian who was standing in front of the door. The other party stood in front of Zoe's door for a while before turning back to his own home. He kept watching Peng Ziqian enter until he closed the door. I was sure that the other party would not come out, so I just walked out, and then secretly broke into Zoe's house to investigate.

But it was obvious that Harold's anti-reconnaissance ability was more than one level worse than the FBI's training, so when he walked out of Zoe's house, he happened to see Peng Ziqian squatting in front of Zoe's house.

This frightened Harold, but it was obvious that the other party was waiting for him and had seen him, so he had to bite the bullet and limped down the stairs.

"So the owner of this house is the next one to be unlucky?" Peng Ziqian turned to look at Harold, judging from her expression, she had completely accepted this matter "And you are the boss behind the man in the suit , did you, Uncle Harold?"

"..."

"Do you want to stand here and wait until Sister Zoe comes back, or go to my place for a cup of tea?" Peng Ziqian looked at the nervous Harold and added, "Chinese Longjing, authentic."

Peng Ziqian's family did have some Longjing from last year, and it took her a lot of time to dig them out because she didn't come back often.After making tea, he handed a cup to Harold who was sitting in the living room, and then she sat on the sofa opposite the coffee table. At this moment, it seemed that he had had enough time to stabilize his emotions, so he returned to his usual elegance. In polite style, nod to him in thanks.

"Can I ask where you got the early warning? How did you know about those people in trouble?" Peng Ziqian took the lead in asking the most important question.As a police officer who has always dealt with crime, she knows all too well how much less trouble their work will be and how many more lives can be saved if they can get early warning.

But Harold didn't seem to want to share the secret, just kept silent.

Peng Ziqian had no choice but to ask another question, "So my uncle, Uncle Ingnart also used your magical method to warn me at that time?" It happened about a year ago, when the bau team was attacked A criminal's provocation, when Al was attacked at home, Peng Ziqian just received a warning from Nathan outside Al's house, in order to clarify this matter, she and Nathan had a dispute, so she will not forget .

She knew that Harold in front of her was Nathan's best friend, so she thought about it.

Harold didn't speak at first, and after a period of thoughtful thinking, he gave an ambiguous answer, "Maybe."

She really didn't like this kind of answer, but there was nothing she could do.She knew Harold was a good man.

Six months ago, she would have resolutely opposed this kind of lone ranger-style private solution to the problem. What they can do is to give people justice according to the law.However, what she has seen and heard in different worlds in the past six months has shaken her firm belief. The judiciary cannot control everything, and the power of the police is sometimes limited. of powerlessness.They are always advocating that people should help each other, so is there really this kind of 'vigilante' who is willing to help others and they should be suppressed?

She thought of Tony Stark, she thought of Batman, she thought of Memphis and Schwak who were cornered by politics, and Saito who was forced to use some dishonorable means to stop the oil monopoly.

Are they wrong?

This conflicting feeling has been entangled in her heart, and then she looked at Harold. This person is Nathan's most trusted person, and perhaps she should also choose to believe him.

It was already dark outside, a light flashed in front of the window of her house, and then they heard the sound of the horn, and the car stopped in front of Zoe's house.Apparently Harold also knew that the person he was waiting for had returned, which made him a little fidgety, and he looked at Peng Ziqian not sure what she wanted to do.But Peng Ziqian read what he wanted to do from his expression.

Seeing Harold's restless expression, Peng Ziqian wanted to laugh, but the other party was his senior after all, so she held back and pretended to be serious and said, "The elders are visiting, I should prepare dinner properly It is."

"Uh... no, no, actually... I mean..." Harold, who was already impatient, was a little flustered when he heard that Peng Ziqian was going to leave him to finish the meal. He racked his brains to think of excuses, but It's unfortunate that his highly intelligent brain is not working very well at this moment.

Harold's expression really looked very funny, and Peng Ziqian's expression was a little too tense, so she stood up and stopped joking with him, "If you have something to do, I won't force you to stay, if there is anything I can do Come to me for help." Saying so, she stretched out her hand.

"..." Harold was silent for a moment, let out a long breath, then stretched out his hand to shake her and laughed.

Reese watched Zoe go home and closed the door, and then contacted Harold with the built-in Bluetooth, but the other party didn't answer him right away, which made him a little anxious.

After calling several times, the other party finally got a reply, and then he heard the door of the house next door open behind him. He turned his head and saw Harold coming out of it. Before leaving, he still turned his head and nodded his thanks.

He clearly remembered who lived next door, because he just broke into that house three days ago, and saw her talking happily with his current target person this morning.

He looked at Harold walking over with weak legs and feet, and smiled, "It seems that you don't have the talent to be a thief." His tone was teasing, and he looked very relaxed and didn't worry about anything at all, because Harold appeared in the In front of him, and his expression was not serious, he knew that Harold hadn't caused any trouble.

"It's just a cup of afternoon tea together." Harold didn't like Reese's happy expression, so he replied dryly.

Peng Ziqian packed up her things that night and left the house. The newly renovated house was not suitable for people to live in, so she had to move to another smaller apartment, but because she was the only one, so A small apartment is no different than a big house.

On this day, Peng Ziqian went to a bar in New York at night.The number of times she went to the bar is one of the few, and most of the few are with the members of the bau group. In fact, she lives a very healthy life and hardly goes to such dangerous places. But this bar is different, Hutch’s younger brother Sean worked here, and he'd gotten into a case at the bar a little over a year ago, so she'd met Hedge, a little-mentioned brother.And because of this incident, the relationship between Hedge and his brothers seems no longer so distant.

During this month, Peng Ziqian went there more than once, and Heqi seemed to have greeted her in advance, so Sean took good care of her.Peng Ziqian likes to play darts there, in fact, she is a constant victor there.

"Oh and~" Once after winning a few men next to him, Peng Ziqian gave a victory gesture to Sean next to the bar, the other party smiled at her and poured a glass of fruit wine to indicate that she could come and have a rest .Then she kindly agreed.

"Your record today is good." Sean had a good impression of this energetic little girl, and said a few words with her when she sat down.

"Well, that's what I do." Peng Ziqian, who won, replied in a good mood, and then drank the low-alcohol fruit wine, "Can I have another glass?"

"I can't, my brother told you that you haven't been raised yet." Sean shook his head and turned to pour her a glass of juice.

"Mother Heqi really cares about me." Peng Ziqian rolled his eyes with a helpless expression.

"Hehe." Sean didn't know how to comment on this, so he just smiled.

While they were talking, Peng Ziqian's cell phone rang suddenly.This made her a little surprised, after all, she didn't have many friends in New York, and the FBI would never bother her during her vacation.She picked up the phone, saw that it was an anonymous number, and answered the phone in doubt and guessing.

On the other end of the phone was a gentle voice speaking standard English with no local accent, "Miss Peng, can I ask you a favor? Now."
