[Comprehensive Anglo-American] A genius report on love

Chapter 28 Intimate

"Shakespeare's sonnets?" Although Mia is not proficient in literature, she still understands such a famous line. "Why didn't I know that the crew member is also a literature lover?"

"You don't think the content of these few words he specially selected..." Neil pointed.

"Indeed, under normal circumstances, leaving a poem at the end of such a diary should always be related to the secret of this treasure. But..." Mia suddenly thought of someone, "Has Moz read this paragraph? How did he explain?"

Among the three of them, Moz likes to quote the classics the most. He knows and loves these literary works far better than himself and Neil.

"It's hard to say. If we only read the literal meaning, it should be a hint that we should wait until we find the location of the treasure before guiding us to the specific direction. Of course, it is not ruled out that these lines may be related to Rory's personal experience." ,only……"

"It's just the bizarre experience that Rory recalled in his diary. How reliable is it?" Mia continued.

"It's not uncommon to encounter some rare beasts or amphibians that have lived for more than ten or even decades in the primeval jungle, especially snakes are more common, but the one he described... It's unbelievable."

"Indeed." Mia nodded. At this point, she was an atheist like Sherlock, and would not believe in these supernatural events.

"I'm afraid I can only go once when I have time." Neil looked at the tracker on his ankle when he said this.

"No!" Mia shook her index finger, "Although I am your supervisor now, closing your tracking records also requires the approval of the above. At present, I don't want to cause so much trouble! Besides, when Pete left New York It will be at least a week later. So, you'd better be quiet for the time being!"

Neil and Mia had a good dinner that day, at least they reached a certain consensus that outside of work, as long as Neil's activities do not violate the supervision of the tracker, Mia will basically not Pete cared so much about his every moment when he wasn't in the fbi office.

************************************************** ***************************

On the morning of the second day, when Mia arrived at the fbi office again, the situation seemed a bit unexpected.

The desk has been tidied up, and the black lacquered countertop has been wiped so that it can almost be used as a mirror.

On the table was a brand new crystal vase, her favorite brand, with the freshest white roses still dripping with dew.

In the middle of the table is a gift box tied with a ribbon, and the card reads:

"May you have a wonderful day, nc."

The gift in the box is not expensive, but a simple and elegant mug.

When she was working yesterday, she drank coffee in a disposable paper cup from the fast food restaurant downstairs. She was thinking of going to a nearby store to buy a cup when she was free, but someone beat her to the punch.

If she was still the unworldly little girl back then, she might be captured by this man's tenderness and caring in a short time.

Mia subconsciously looked at Neil's desk while holding the new porcelain cup.

Neil also happened to meet her gaze and smiled generously.

Mia shook the cup in her hand and gestured a thank you.

Mia spent the whole morning dealing with documents of some old cases, and studying the personnel files of the entire department. She needed to get familiar with the people and things here as soon as possible, and she couldn't even take care of lunch.

Of course, Neil, who is so considerate, would not fail to consider this point. When Mia walked out of the office and was about to ask Diana to take out a sandwich for him, Neil had already walked over with the paper bag he had prepared in advance.

Mia rejected his kindness, "I've never asked much for work meals. A sandwich and coffee are enough."

She didn't want to make the relationship between the two of them too close so soon. Firstly, this place is a workplace, and secondly...

Mia is still a little afraid that she won't be able to control her feelings for this man.

"Since you say that, you have to try the one I prepared." Neil said as he took out the sandwich and coffee powder from the paper bag without any refusal.

Mia: "..."

This ability to guess people's hearts is even better than her doctor of psychology.

"This one is highly recommended by me. It's the best sandwich in Manhattan. And..." Neil shook the small bag of coffee powder in his hand, "Coffee made with this kind of freshly ground coffee beans is the best. Excellent. You wait for 10 minutes, and I'll make the coffee."

Ten minutes later, Mia, who was holding an empty teacup, could already smell the intoxicating aroma of coffee at the door of the tea room.

It can be seen that the coffee beans brought by Neil are not so expensive, but they have an excellent combination of sweet and sour taste and mellowness. It can be imagined that it is picked, roasted, transported, and ground. They are very careful in the process, completely retaining its original fragrance, which is rare.

Mia took a deep breath. In the dizzying work, it is really nice to have a cup of fragrant coffee.

Neil took a disposable paper plate in the tea room and cut some fruit. Seeing Mia standing at the door, "Are you hungry? Just wait a little longer and it will be ready soon."

Mia suddenly asked, "Have you always been like this?"

"What is this?" Neil was asked a little confused.

"It's just like taking care of others, buying lunch, making coffee and so on."

I still remember that more than ten years ago, he was already a considerate man, always able to clearly grasp the preferences of the people around him, and getting along with him always seemed extraordinarily relaxed and at ease.

"What do you think?" The coffee was already brewed, Neil poured himself a small half cup and tasted it, and then took the cup from Mia's hand, "Not everyone deserves it."

"Really? I heard from Pete that in New York, there are many girls who favor you."

Mia began to wonder if she had asked a stupid question impulsively, and she didn't know what she wanted to know or prove, so she just blurted it out.

"If you really want a definite answer, at least for now, only you."

When he said this, Neil was already standing in front of Mia, who was half leaning against the door, holding the cut fruit.

When Mia looked up, she met his light blue eyes.

"You—" she suddenly didn't know what to say when she reached her mouth. Before that, she had obviously thought of thousands of ways to tease his smooth-talking mouth.

The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous, and Mia was a little at a loss, so she could only lower her head and take a sip of coffee from the cup in her hand.

"Let's go, the sandwich won't taste good after a long time."

************************************************** ***************************

Apart from the short moment of embarrassment at the door of the tea room, Mia really appreciated the sandwich Neil brought.

In fact, she didn't know until a long time later that the business of the western restaurant has been very good, and it is not close to the FBI office building, but Neil has the personality charm that allows the female clerk to personally deliver a copy during the busiest time of lunch. Freshly baked hot sandwiches are delivered to your door.

After lunch, there were finally new developments in the case of Carverdale. What Grace said that day about her childhood and Carverdale was confirmed in several books, and the Las Vegas side also They sent some information about Fodale winning the prize that year.

The value of 20 million US dollars 5000 years ago should not be underestimated. Perhaps because of this reason, the surveillance video of the time when the award was received was still retained.

After repeated investigations, they finally found a suspicious person in the video and some materials from that year.

Carter Moulton (r.), this is a person found in the check-in list of other guests in the Las Vegas hotel that Carverdale stayed in that year.

According to the data, this person disappeared 20 years ago. His family reported the case a few months after his disappearance. They didn't even know that he had been to Las Vegas, and the place where he last appeared seemed It was in the surveillance video when Carverdale accepted the award.

Neil: "In terms of height, shape and appearance, Carter Moulton is [-]% or [-]% similar to Todd Caverdale back then. If Carter pretends to be him, it may not be impossible to hide the truth."

"Indeed, I also agree with your guess." Mia replied, "Can you still contact Carter Moulton's family? Ask them for a copy of the handwriting information, and if possible, collect a DNA sample for comparison. "

"Can you find Carverdale's body?" If it's just a simple imposter, there is no reason why the real Todd Carverdale hasn't come out to call the police for 20 years. The only explanation can only be that he died long ago.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, but you can try to contact the local police to see if there are any unidentified dead bodies. According to the appearance, it looks more like the original Carverdale."

During the heated discussion in the conference room, Mia suddenly received a call from Jones, because the death of Peggy Warren made Grace feel a little unstable for a while, so she took two days off to recuperate at home under the pretext of being sick. A professional killer actually came to the door. Fortunately, Mia told Jones to take care of Grace's safety. He also subdued the killer immediately, and is now contacting Mia to discuss countermeasures.
