Chapter 64 Sleeping Bear Dune

~~~~~ Before starting your quest for revenge, dig two graves. ~~~~~

"Roy, why did you leave me and run away?"

Daisy's blond hair was covered with blood, but her face was still fair and beautiful, but it was bloodless and looked a little scary.

Roy lowered her eyes slightly, and she looked at Daisy's arm.Her arm was severed from the elbow, neatly, as if it had never grown out.And there was no blood at all at the incision, like a statue of Venus.

"I..., I didn't..." Roy shook her head, she reached out her hand to touch Daisy.She doesn't know if she's her 27-year-old self now, or her teenage self.She just felt that she hadn't seen Daisy for too long, and even though she knew it was a dream, she still wanted to touch her face.

"Oh..." Morgan yelled in pain, and he was woken up by being pinched by Roy.She pinched her cheeks desperately, as if pinching flour lumps.

Roy opened her eyes suddenly, and she realized that she was pinching Morgan's face, "Oh, Derek, it's a good thing you don't look red."

"I've never seen a woman like you who kills someone and still shows that he looks good." Morgan rubbed his face, feeling that it must be in pain for a whole day.

"Thank you." Ruoyi smiled, she lifted the sheet and went to take a shower.The dream just now and the binge drinking last night made her a little dizzy, and she must wake up immediately.

Morgan admired Roy's beautiful back curve, turned over, and pulled the quilt over again, unwilling to get up.

But the case is not closed yet, and the work has to continue.Morgan was pulled up by Ruoyi, and he carried her into the bathroom together. By the way, he broke the agreement last night and exercised early in the morning.

So when the two stepped into the CBI one after the other, everyone pretended not to see them.

Except Jane.

"It seems that our lovebirds got up early in the morning to eat bugs." Jane put her hands in the pockets of her little vest, and walked in front of Roy like a kangaroo.

"I didn't find the worm, but I saw a golden retriever with a tennis ball in its mouth." Ruoit glanced at Jane's hair, his golden curly hair made people feel uncomfortable no matter how you looked at it.

"I didn't see the worm or the golden retriever, but I found the identity of the victim." When the two seemed to continue to quarrel, Garcia's voice appeared at the right time, "Tina Hartnett, Michigan Traverse City, State, 22 years old, just graduated from college. Because her parents thought she was on a graduation trip, they just found out that her daughter had been killed."

"I went to Traverse City. The cherries there are very delicious. There is also a famous Sleeping Bear Dune, and the scenery by the lake is also very beautiful." Resby smiled and looked at Van Pael, as if It was hinting to her that the two of them could travel together next time.

"Sleeping Bear doesn't have it here, but we have a cute Agent Bell here." Jane looked at Roy, he thought it was a coincidence, and Roy did the same.

"Thank you." Roy didn't even bother to smile. There are really too many clues pointing to Burns in this case.It seemed that his death was really suspicious, but if he really wanted to investigate, wouldn't he be stepping into a trap step by step?

JJ and Rhett immediately left for Traverse City, the flight was a long distance, they must be exhausted today.It is impossible for those who are still in CBI to be idle, and the existing information and clues need to be studied again.

Roy's whole mind is gone, she just wants to dig up Burns' grave, and then take a look at who is lying in it!

Of course, Morgan noticed Roy's restlessness and absent-mindedness. He pulled Roy out during his lunch break, ready to chat alone, "Hey, baby, are you okay?"

"I'm sober." When she was alone with Morgan, Roy smiled a little.But thinking of Harnett's and Daisy's similar faces, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

"What's the matter, Roy?" Morgan reached out and stroked Roy's cheek, wondering why she was so fragile now.He has been working with her for almost half a year, but he has never seen her expression like this.

"This girl, Tina Hartnett, is very similar to one of the victims in the case in my middle school. I mean the appearance." Finally, Roy couldn't help but squeezed out those past events bit by bit. .

Morgan looked at Roy. He knew she hadn't finished talking, so he listened quietly without interrupting her.

"And that victim is my good friend in middle school, her name is Daisy Hartnett." Roy never dared to look Morgan in the eyes, she was afraid that she would lose control of herself and make everything dark and dirty All the secrets are poured out.

"Tina is her sister?" Morgan speculated naturally without knowing all the facts.

"No, Daisy only has one younger brother, and her parents didn't have any children after she died." Roy shook her head, thinking of Daisy's parents, her tears fell immediately.She quickly wiped it away, but found that this action made Morgan even more suspicious.

After that incident, Daisy's parents have been very concerned about the investigation of the case.But after they finally determined that Burns was the murderer, they were completely silent.At first Roy thought they were afraid of losing their jobs. After all, both of them worked in the Burns family's pharmaceutical company.But then Roy discovered that this was not the case at all, so she also stayed away from the family, fearing that bad luck would find Daisy's brother again.

"Okay, Roy, hasn't the murderer been caught? He will stay in a mental hospital for the rest of his life." Morgan didn't continue to ask, he hugged Roy into his arms, and kissed her hair.

"He's sick and dead, Derek." Zoe sighed softly.

"..." Morgan was silent for a moment, he knew this feeling.Many things are not like those shown in the movie, big hatred can be avenged, and good people can die well.Life is random, and the chances of bad guys dying from traffic accidents, food poisoning, diseases, and accidents are much higher than being sanctioned by law.And such a nonsensical ending is often even more unacceptable.

"Leave me alone, and I'll be fine soon." Ruoyi gently pushed Morgan away. She didn't want to continue to deceive him, so now she could only let him leave.

"Okay." Morgan didn't ask anything, he kissed Roy, then turned and walked into the building.

Roy looked at Morgan's back until she couldn't see her at all, then she turned around and took out her mobile phone, "Switzer, Burns is really not dead, he has been to California."

"What did he do?" Swayze jumped up from his seat, spilling the black tea in Daisy's face.

"He killed a girl with the same surname as Daisy and a very similar appearance. The method is the same as a case we are working on now. The girl is from Traverse City. There is a famous attraction there, Waking Dunes , I think you may know." Roy looked at the vineyard in front of him, but his mind was full of bloody images.

"Daisy!" Swayze was stunned for a moment, he looked at Daisy in front of him who was wiping his face, and it took him a long time to react.

"Little Lance." Daisy thought that Swayze was calling her, so she replied sweetly.

"Oh, you're not alone." When Roy heard Daisy's voice, she realized that Swayze was not in the office, "Don't worry about it, I'd better go... to find Morgan."

Lied another lie, and Ruoyi felt that the sun was covered by the darkness in her heart.After spending more than half an hour in a daze outside, she remembered to go back to work.

Her ecstasy was also seen by Hotchner, and Strauss recently reminded him to pay attention to Roy's performance.Because of Emily and her return, she always wanted to leave bau.It's just that the future destination has not yet been decided, and Strauss is still quite satisfied with Roy's resume, so the current time period is very critical for her career.

Ruoyi didn't know about this, but Morgan knew it very well.He didn't know about it, but guessed that there would be such a process.So he took the initiative to explain to Hotchner, and Hotchner, who had experienced the loss of a loved one, also understood.They are not ordinary people, but they are also mortals, and it is impossible to be as indifferent as steel.

In the afternoon, Ruoyi finally returned to her state. She knew more, so the profile was more direct than others.

JJ and Rhett also found a lot of clues. Harnett did travel to California with her classmates, but they didn't plan to come to Sacramento.According to Hartnett's classmates, she had an affair in Los Angeles. A very handsome man invited her to play on his vineyard, which was the one where her body was found.

After turning around, the suspicion pointed to the owner of the vineyard.But the owner of the manor and all of them have seen it before. He is a 50-year-old brown-haired uncle with a pot belly, and he has nothing to do with being handsome.

And their family has no son, only three daughters, none of whom are currently in the local area.Only one of them was married, legally married to another girl in England.

According to the descriptions of those students, CBI's sketch expert drew a portrait of the suspect.But it's so abstract that even Roy can't see what the hell it is.

So Roy called Angela and called her over.

Huggins was worried that Angela would go so far alone, so he chartered a plane and flew here with her.

Roy and Angela were working on the suspect sketch with Harnett's classmates. It wasn't that she was worried about Angela, but she wanted to confirm immediately whether that person was Burns.

Morgan found Roy a bit impatient, but that was understandable.He didn't know about Burns, and thought it was because of Roy's strong temper.

It took more than three hours before Angela finished the sketch.And before Angela finished the painting, Roy knew it was Burns.

She will never forget those eyes.

Pushing open the door, Ruoyi looked up at the clock, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

Jane got up from the sofa, his eyes were bright, he didn't look like someone who woke up from sleep at all.

Roy nodded slightly at him, then she turned around and looked at Morgan who was sleeping on the table.She suddenly felt that he was out of reach, all the good things were gone from her, and the darkness came again, covering the sky and the sun.

***

"Sleep, sleep, my little bear. I will always be by your side, like the moon and stars, flowers and butterflies..." He hummed softly, holding a strand of golden hair in his hand.

Kissing the lock of hair to his lips, he tossed it into the air.Seeing those strands of hair flying towards the direction of the CBI building, he smiled with satisfaction, then turned and left.
