Haley was buried three days later.Everyone Hedge knew attended the funeral, Morgan, Reid, Ross, Garcia's boyfriend Kevin, and JJ's boyfriend William were in charge of helping the spirit, and the women followed closely behind the coffin.Hutch's face was still full of color, and it could be seen that he was enduring great grief while delivering a speech.Peng Ziqian stood in the crowd, she felt that everything was unreal, she held a white rose in her hand and mechanically followed the people to send it to the coffin in the sea.But she didn't listen to Heqi's words at all, and she didn't feel the grief of the people around her. She felt like she was on a huge theater, and everyone was participating in the play, except her.

When was the last time she was at a funeral, oh yeah, it was Uncle Nathan, and it was her cousin Will who gave the eulogy.The time before that, her parents had been Uncle Nathan.

It feels like everything about 911 is vivid in her mind. She was still very young at that time, but she already understood everything. She remembered every word Uncle Nathan said at that time, and she held Nathan's hand tightly.Nathan became her later support.

But when Nathan died, she knew it was all up to her.

She looked at Jack, the little Jack was not old enough to understand these things, and he just held his father's hand in a daze. In the future, when he came to pay homage to his mother, he might not remember Hutch today. What did you say.

She didn't know what she was thinking. She felt that she had withdrawn from her emotions, watched the mime from the perspective of God, and then followed the crowd blankly.

"Is she okay?" Emily looked at Peng Ziqian who was sitting across from him with a dazed expression and asked Morgan next to him in a low voice.She had been standing next to Peng Ziqian at the previous funeral. She found that Peng Ziqian's expression was numb from the beginning to the end, as if his soul had gone out of his body. She mechanically followed people all day with the same expression until Heqi's house Here, since I sat down, I have been staring at a certain point on the table... and I haven't averted my eyes for so long.

To be honest, this kind of performance made Emily feel a little worried.

"..." Morgan followed Emily's gaze and saw the dull girl, shook his head and looked at Garcia diagonally.

Under Morgan's gaze, Garcia finally noticed what Morgan wanted to convey. She turned her head to look at Peng Ziqian next to her, and then looked at JJ sitting on the other side.

If jj didn't even have this kind of tacit understanding of eye contact, then he would have spent so many years in bau in vain.So she stretched out her hand and patted Peng Ziqian's arm to attract the other's attention. The other turned to look at JJ as if he woke up in a start. Garcia just opened his mouth, but was stopped by Peng Ziqian's stop gesture.

Obviously what the other party wants now is silence.

"..." Garcia looked worriedly at Peng Ziqian who had become still again, and then looked at jj, hoping she would do something, but jj shook his head to signal Garcia not to speak.

JJ is very clear that no one can understand Peng Ziqian's mood now. According to Peng Ziqian's resume and her experience, she has experienced the funeral of losing her closest relative more than once, and also watched her companions dying several times.Hai Li's matter was actually just a fuse, which bloody dug out the deepest things in her heart.

so cruel.

JJ thinks that she has experienced the feeling when her sister left, and that feeling has made her unable to forget in her life.

Sometimes time can heal the pain, but not all the time, jj is not a profiler but she also understands that there is something called survivor psychology, sometimes people just think they have forgotten, bury it in the deep for a while out of reach.But actually it's still there.

There is no other way but to let her accept it herself.

At this time, Morgan's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Oh no, they shouldn't have summoned us, not tonight." Morgan said frowning as he took out his phone.

"I'll go talk about it." JJ pulled out his phone.But all the other groups were sent out. In other words, they had no choice. They reluctantly informed the people present about this. Then she stood up, looked at Peng Ziqian, who was not moving, and patted her on the shoulder, "We Let's go, take care of yourself, okay?"

Peng Ziqian is still suspended, because she was the first person to arrive at the scene after the incident, and she was obviously shocked. I don’t know what she said to the investigation team during the investigation. After the investigation was over, she was the only one who did not immediately resume her job... ...And after that, Peng Ziqian didn't seem to want to mention it much.

So this time she doesn't have to go.

"..." The other party was silent for a long time and then nodded.

JJ thought, maybe it's a good thing, this poor girl should take a break, but seeing the other party's absent-minded state, it's hard to tell whether the other party has listened, so she turned to her boyfriend William next to her and told him to put Peng Ziqian first. Take it home.

With her boyfriend's guarantee, she left with confidence.

"Adele, we can leave too." William watched the team members leave, and then patted Peng Ziqian's hand. The girl seemed not quite right, so he had better send her back as soon as possible.

"..." Peng Ziqian paused, but at least she listened to this sentence. She stood up and took a last look at Heqi's back, then followed William and left.

"Are you sure? I'll go in with you." William drove Peng Ziqian to the place, and Peng Ziqian who insisted on going in by himself was uncertain.

"Well, I can walk by myself." The other party nodded and said calmly.

"But jj asked me to take you to your destination, so..." William curled his lips and wanted to complain about jj's carelessness and make a few jokes to brighten the atmosphere, but the other party just nodded and agreed.

They just got out of the car when Peng Ziqian's phone rang. It was Strauss.

William didn't know what was said on the phone. He only saw Peng Ziqian humming twice, then hung up the phone, and then explained to him, "Mr. Strauss will be here soon."

"It's so late?" William looked at his watch and asked strangely. Strauss had appeared at the funeral. Is there anything that can't be said directly at the funeral?He felt a little strange.

After a while Strauss arrived.At that time, William hadn't left yet, so he thought it was better to leave after everything was over. JJ asked him to see her off because he was worried about the girl.

Strauss also knew William, she and William nodded briefly, and then turned to Peng Ziqian, "It's really disturbing to come so late."

"It's okay." Peng Ziqian replied.

"Can we talk elsewhere?" Strauss asked.

"The back room." Peng Ziqian nodded and motioned for Strauss to follow her.

"You know, the higher-ups are very careful about this matter." Strauss went into the back room and found a place to sit down, and then said, "But based on Hutch's situation, the higher-ups decided not to pursue his matter very humanly. But You shouldn't ignore the review team in questioning." Strauss folded his hands on the table, with a embarrassed expression on his face.

"Yeah." Peng Ziqian nodded without expressing any opinion, didn't try to explain and showed no expression, just listening.

"Based on this matter...the higher-ups feel that your mental state may not be ready...and this..." Strauss took out a piece of paper from the file bag he brought. It was a medical examination report. Peng Ziqian I remember that it was the examination given by the hospital after she went into shock.

"The comments above suggest that it is not suitable for field work." Strauss said briefly, and then looked at the other party's expression, the other party remained expressionless as if this was not her business.She had no choice but to continue to take out other materials from the file bag and push them in front of Peng Ziqian, and said straight to the point, "I won an opportunity for you. The New York branch has always wanted Morgan to be transferred, but Morgan refused. I won this opportunity for you. .No field work, it's easier, more downtime...because you have field experience...it's easier to get promoted."

"..." Peng Ziqian was still silent, but she took over the procedures handed over by Strauss and flipped through them, but Strauss did not speak.She was observing Peng Ziqian's reaction, but the other's expression remained the same without any change.

It took a long time for her to go through the formalities, but Strauss felt that she didn't read them at all.She just wanted to say that she can think about it, and if she doesn't want to, she can also choose to suspend her job for a while... But she hasn't said this yet. To her surprise, the other party picked up a brush on the table and marked it on the last page word.

Then she handed the formalities back to her. Strauss flipped through it suspiciously, and found that the last page had signed Peng Ziqian's name on the signature column. She didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and raised her head in surprise.But in the calm eyes of the other party, she could see that she didn't need to spend these words at all.

This time things always have to be held accountable, and there are always some responsibilities that have to be placed on the shoulders of a certain person or everyone.If she leaves now, she will bear the responsibility for the accident and the group will remain free.

Peng Ziqian is a sensible person, everyone understands this truth, some things need to be more straightforward.

William didn't know what they were talking about, but he thought it wasn't long before Strauss came out with something like a document in his hand.When Peng Ziqian sent her to the porch, Peng Ziqian stopped her, "Mr. Strauss, thank you...thank you for everything." That was the only thing Peng Ziqian said to Strauss.

William didn't know what they were talking about, but instinctively felt that something was wrong. He thought it would be best to talk to her about it when JJ came back.

The bau team arrived at the destination that night, surveyed the site roughly, and rested overnight before giving a profile.

Garcia also went back to rest for a while at night. She hadn't closed her eyes since the funeral, which was not conducive to the efficiency of case handling.

She went to work early the next morning, and was busy until the team finished solving the case at night before she relaxed.Garcia originally planned to go to Kevin and have dinner to see Peng Ziqian.Just as she walked out of her office and passed the group hall, she saw a light on and a figure standing there.

The members of the team are still at the place where the case is being handled, so Garcia walked over curiously, and found that it was Peng Ziqian who was on suspension.

"Adele, why are you here so late..." Garcia walked over, she was a little happy for the other party's appearance, but when she got closer and saw Peng Ziqian tidy up the boxes on the empty table, she fell silent.

It wasn't that she had no idea what that meant...but she couldn't understand it for a while.

"Adele? Dear?" Garcia walked over and asked tentatively, hoping to get an explanation from the other party, but the other party did not explain, but just handed her the transfer letter on the table.

"..." Garcia couldn't believe all this until she finished reading the transfer letter, she raised her head from the thin paper, and then looked at the indifferent Peng Ziqian "It's not fair. They can't treat you like this .” She couldn’t understand why the other party was still so calm at this moment.

She felt like everything was wrong and she hoped it was just an April Fool's joke.But her last hope was dashed in the other's nod, and she heard him say, "Will Garcia say goodbye to me?"

When JJ received William's text message, she felt a little bad. When she got off the plane and heard Garcia's crying voice telling them to come back quickly, she took the other members and rushed back to the headquarters as quickly as possible.

What she saw was Peng Ziqian who had already packed up his things and was coaxing Garcia to stabilize his mood. When she saw the people rushing back in a hurry, she just shook her head and showed a helpless expression, "I want to go low-key, but Garcia grabbed me. .”

She wanted to go low-key, but didn't know what to say to her friends.
