[Comprehensive Anglo-American] A genius report on love

Chapter 40 Mia's persistence

Although Sherlock Holmes, a somewhat eccentric detective, always gave people an unreliable feeling when he spoke, but after all, his reputation did not come from blowing, and Mia guaranteed it.

After consulting the opinions of two bomb disposal experts, the chief of the command decided to accept Sherlock's reasoning.

After the two red lines were cut, the bomb stopped counting down as expected.

Everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

However, when the bomb was dismantled, a photo suddenly slipped out of the cracks.

The photo is a bit blurry, it looks more like an edited print of a camera probe on the street.

And the person in the photo turned out to be...

There are two people clearly photographed in the photo. The one walking towards the camera is Mia. She lowered her head slightly as if thinking about something, while a short and thin man passed by her, who seemed to be deliberately Glanced at her.

Although there was only an unclear profile and back, the police forensic personnel quickly identified his identity.

Colin Firth.

The photo was sent to the temporary command office of the police station immediately, and Mia was also confused at that moment.

Has she met Colin?When did it happen?

Mia began to recall the source of the photos based on her own clothing, hairstyle, and surrounding streets and other information in the photos.

A second message from Colin Firth also arrived.

"You are indeed smarter than I imagined. This time it was a fluke that allowed you to pass the first level. I know you have already guessed my identity, and you will not release my father easily, so let's play a game Game. Did you see that photo? Let the woman in the photo come to see me, on the bench next to the streetlight numbered k37 in Central Park, she is only allowed to come alone, no weapons, when I see her, I will tell you when the next bomb will be placed. There are still 160 minutes, and I hope you will not think too long this time."

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

"Mia, let's go."

The moment the voice message was played, before Mia and other people present could express anything, Sherlock, who had been sitting in the corner before, grabbed Mia's wrist and walked directly outside the house.

Mia wanted to get rid of the other party's holding her hand, but Sherlock held it a little tighter, "Sherlock, what are you going to do?"

"This case is enough. You have done enough. There is no need to play games with that lunatic."

"Sherlock, it's not like you. It's not the more complex and difficult cases that arouse your interest?"

"I can stay until I help them locate all the bombs and get that Colin Firth, if—"

Mia continued: "The condition is that I can't agree to his request in the message, right?"

Sherlock nodded, holding Mia's fingers tighter.

The last time she was with him, she almost failed to escape. What if she couldn't make it in time this time?

Compared with those criminals and those inexplicable crimes, he needs this woman in front of him to live safely.

"You also saw the bomb they dismantled just now. Colin is a professional. This is not the first time he has committed a crime. I think he must have simulated many times before this. His bomb is very powerful. Once it is detonated, it may cause disaster. A few blocks away. I'm an FBI agent, that's what I do."

"Then resign!" What about his FBI and what responsibilities, can't people simply live for themselves?

"Sherlock, I..."

Mia didn't know how to explain it at the moment. If Colin wasn't a bomber, she might be more than [-]% sure that she could complete this mission perfectly, but it happened that she didn't know when she would be able to cross it. Dao Kan.

"Mia, I don't agree with you going." Hozner finally said, "No matter what the people above decide, you are involved in this case because of bau, and you are my team member here. I won't put you at risk."

"Yes, human life is not worth comparing. Whether it is the life of one person or a hundred people, this is not a simple addition and subtraction." Rossi walked over and gently held Mia's shoulder, "Anyone There is no right to ask a person to sacrifice for others. Mia, although we don't know what happened in the past, I see the fear in your eyes. It tells me that your current state of mind is not suitable for this A difficult task. And we have no way of knowing what Colin really wants to see you for the time being."

"Thank you, I..."

Mia was shaken, or she had never been firm.

When she finished listening to the voice message just now, she really thought about gritting her teeth with the determination to die, and taking the initiative to accept this task with dignity, but facing so many colleagues, friends and lovers who care about her...

She found that she did not have that much courage.

After a brief discussion, the commander of the command and the top officials of the FBI decided to respect Mia's choice. If she is unwilling to negotiate directly with Colin, then they will consider the request for the release of Billel Quinn in the next step. .

"I remembered that the photo should have been taken three years ago, in the autumn, and I was seconded to bau to investigate the bombing of Birel Quinn. At that time, because I was a newcomer, Hozner I was not sent to investigate the explosion site or go to the autopsy room to examine the corpse, but stayed at the police station with jj to sort out the information collected by everyone and comfort the family members of the deceased, etc.

In the profile of the criminal suspect, I judged that the suspect is not the kind of person who is willing to observe the changes and developments of the situation in the news reports. He will definitely go to the scene of the crime and appreciate his masterpiece, so I went to Go to the hospital and prepare to volunteer to join the rescue of the wounded after investigating the bombing.

This photo should have been taken at the entrance of the hospital.That time we checked the identities of the volunteers in the hospital one by one and found no suspicious identities. "

"It's not that Colin didn't go to the hospital, he just left early. I saw this person that day." Reid added, "After the bombing, Rossi and I were in charge of investigating the scene of the bombing. There were still some citizens who were slightly injured. Waiting to be treated by paramedics. Colin was wearing this at the time. He looked like a very enthusiastic college student. He ran up to me and asked a police officer next to me if he needed help. He studied basic medical care. knowledge, can help take care of some wounded. It’s just that none of us noticed him or doubted his identity at the time.”

Hozner also came to a conclusion, "So, Colin asked to meet Mia by name, probably because she was the only one who almost found out his true identity that day."

"He just wants to prove that last time I passed him by, I failed to catch him. Even if he stands in front of me this time, we can only do nothing about him?"

Mia frowned slightly. To some extent, she, like Sherlock, didn't like being provoked.She wants to catch this crazy guy!

There was another silence in the office until Mia took a deep breath and turned to face Sherlock.

"Sherlock, you'll find me wherever I am, won't you?"

"No!" Before the other party finished speaking, Sherlock had already shown a refusal attitude, "I won't go to you, I will take you away right now!" He never let go of Mia's hand.

"Sherlock, I have to go, believe me, I can catch him. It's like when you faced Moriarty for so many years, knowing that it was a trap he set for you, you would still go. "

"No, you can't even move your body in front of the bomb, you are dying."

"I'll be careful Sherlock, I'll find out where the bomb is from Colin, and I'll be back once the danger is over."

"No, don't think about it."

Sherlock's fingers pressed harder, and Mia even frowned in pain. She could almost imagine that her wrist was probably bruised.

"This is my insistence, Sherlock." Mia covered the back of Sherlock's hand with her other hand, "I have never been a woman who needs to be protected, and this is why you will recognize me Isn't it? I promise I will do my best to come back alive."

"..." Sherlock just had a gloomy face, without saying a word.

"Agent Mia, there is a Mr. Neil Caffrey looking for you outside." The sudden appearance of a small police officer at the door of the office interrupted the stalemate.

"Neil?" What is he doing here at this time?Mia asked and glanced at Sherlock.

If he was annoyed just now because he didn't agree with his decision, then Sherlock's stern face now is simply...

Yes, in Tsundere!

In fact, on the day of the birthday, if it wasn't for Garcia's timely phone call, Sherlock and Neil would probably be at odds even if they didn't fight.

At this moment, Neil suddenly appeared in a stalemate with Sherlock, which was a problem for her.

"Agent Mia, Mr. Carvery is still downstairs, are you—"

Mia realized that Neil might really be here for something important at this time, "Neil Caffrey is my assistant in the elite crime team, if it's convenient, let them come up!"

Not long after, Neil was brought into the office by the little policeman.

"Mia, I've already heard about the bombing from Hughes. I couldn't get through to you, so I came here in person."

Mia took out her mobile phone, and it turned out that there were several missed calls, "Sorry, I'm too busy to take care of it. Is there something important?"

"I heard that the murderer asked you to meet him in person, and someone will come to help you in person later." Neil approached her and lowered his voice.

"who is it--"

Just as Mia was about to ask, she saw another familiar figure appearing outside the office.

This time, Neil turned out to be the police station with Moz.

It seems that his so-called excuse of not being able to get through the phone is just to distract the guards at the gate of the police station for Moz, so that he can enter here in disguise smoothly.

If it weren't for that height and his little expression that always made Mia laugh, Lian Mia would have been a little dazed seeing his outfit today.

But speaking of it, it was not easy for this mysterious figure who always talked about places like the police station and fbi to be able to walk in here in person.

"Hello, who are you?" the police officer at the door asked.

"Sean Clement (sean·), fbi" Moz took out his ID and introduced himself, "I was appointed by the technical department to install a tracking device for Agent Mia."

Moz carried a heavy-looking metal box with him. He put the box on the table and opened it. Inside was a strangely shaped instrument that he didn't know what it could be used for.

"Call to verify." The command officer ordered.

Considering that Mia may eventually have to accept the criminal's request, he did apply to the higher authorities for a more sophisticated tracking system, but this person came too fast.

Mia asked Neil in a low voice, "How...how did you do it?"

Pretending to be an FBI agent at this time, it would be difficult to deal with if discovered.

"Actually, since we knew that Hughes asked you to participate in the investigation of this case, moz monitored everything that happened here through the FBI's internal network. Sean's identity is real. We found someone to intercept him, and moz faked it by the way. Get his papers and come here."

"Agent Mia, you can wear this." Moz had already adjusted the equipment at this time, and he took out a pair of small ruby ​​earrings and handed them to Mia.

"A new signal transmitter?" It doesn't look like moz has a talent for designing jewelry.

"The latest model is the anti-shielding type." When moz explained his invention, he was always full of confident charm, "General signal shielding devices make satellites unable to accurately locate by interfering with the transmission and reception of signals. This one It also has the tracking function of ordinary satellite signals, and can also be used as bugs and earphones within a suitable distance. However, its special feature is that even if the signal is interfered, it can report to any electronic device within a short distance. Release a fixed signal, and my device can be located by collecting these simple signals."
