The next day, Leo overslept, and when he woke up, the hour hand of the desktop alarm clock was pointing to eleven. This is quite rare for him, who never gives himself a chance to be lazy even when he goes out to work. As the head of the serial homicide investigation team, he does not need to report to anyone for his daily actions, but he is always strictly self-disciplined, like being restrained by a tight rubber band in his mind, not allowing himself to deviate even one foot. distance.
But today the rubber band seemed to be a little loose, he realized it, and attributed the cause to the medicine. I finally quit it before, and it’s not so good if I eat it again. Maybe I should take the time to ask the doctor and try a different medicine, he thought.
After washing quickly, he picked up a coat and was about to go out. A voice behind him stopped him: "Is it too late to go after dinner?"
Leo turned around and saw Li Biqing wearing an apron and carrying a spatula in his hand. Apparently he had just come out of the kitchen and smiled gratefully at him: "I accidentally fell asleep on the sofa last night. You got me into the bedroom, thank you."
"Raise your hand," Leo replied, "I'm going to work."
"I know, but it's all about eating. Does the office provide free lunch?"
"No, there are pizzerias and hamburgers on the corner, you can order takeaways."
Li Biqing showed an inner wounded look: "Their pizza and burgers are so delicious? Better than my cooking?"
Leo Ming knew that the other party was joking mostly, but he still offered comfort: "Compared with the food you cook, it is a crime to call those things food."
"Welcome to abandon the dark and turn to the bright." Li Biqing opened his arms to make an invitation, and suddenly his expression changed: "-Ah, that's it! The fire is still open!"
Leo watched him fly into the kitchen and couldn't help but smile. At first glance, this Oriental boy looked innocent and immature. After contacting him, he realized that he had a clear thinking and extraordinary conversation. He should be a deep person, but he was always confused on small things. Is this the so-called clumsy and clumsy? However, it is quite pleasant to get along with such a person.
In any case, he was not in a hurry, thinking so, and followed into the kitchen.
Two dishes and one soup are already on the table: sliced pork with mushrooms, pine nuts, osmanthus fish, and bamboo fungus chicken. Li Biqing is putting tempeh and dace on the plate and saying to him embarrassedly: "The fire is late, and there is not enough greens. crisp."
Leo smelled the scent and only felt itching in his fingers. After serving each of them with a bowl of rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds, he first scooped a spoon of the orange chicken soup and sighed sincerely: "If you plan to open a restaurant, I will often take my colleagues to patronize."
"Thank you for your support, although this item is not included in my plan." Li Biqing picked up a chopstick of lettuce and frowned critically. "When it comes to work, I don't know what department you are in, just listen. Jasmine said, you are the Federal Police?"
Leo nodded, "The FBI Criminal Investigation Department. Just transferred to Washington headquarters last year, and is currently in charge of a case, so it moves between states." When he said the last word, he laughed to himself, "Maybe you know, cross Basically all major criminal cases in the state are under our control."
"I've heard about it, such as the'Green River' serial murders, and the scale of serial murderers-the famous Ted? Bundy. But I found one thing very interesting. The FBI's criminal targets are mostly kidnappings. Cases, robberies, and serial murders are targeted at high-profile desperadoes, not large-scale organized criminal groups. Is there any trick to this?"
Leo put down his chopsticks, habitually supported his chin with his fingers, and looked at him unexpectedly: "I don't know you have such a keen observation ability-in fact, the answer is very simple: because compared with the intricate criminal syndicate, you are alone. Guys are easier to hunt down, so that when we publish data to the public, we will have a considerable rate of detection. At the same time, those'criminal stars' can bring us a huge sensation in social reputation-when I first entered the industry, I once asked about this issue. That's what he answered, my immediate boss."
Li Biqing was obviously a little embarrassed about this answer: "It turned out to be a persimmon picking up a soft pinch... Then who is the'criminal star' you are hunting down now—let alone, let me guess..." He stared at the white edge of the dinner plate. Lost for a moment, then raised his head and said with certainty: "Serial killer killer?"
This is the term for "killing" on the Internet, a killer targeting serial killers. Leo couldn't help but admire his judgment, and nodded: "You guessed it, that guy is indeed one of our goals at this stage, and it's the most important one." Looking at the bright and interesting eyes of the Eastern boy, Li Ao suspects that the other party's suspense detective complex has been seriously triggered, but they have confidentiality regulations, and it is indeed not the time to talk about topics.
"I should go to work." Leo got up and picked up the black jacket on the back of the chair. "If it's okay, you can walk around. When I have time, I will contact a language school for you."
Li Biqing thanked him and asked, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
"Not necessarily, I might work overtime, so I don't have to wait for me to eat."
"Okay." Li Biqing muttered, "In fact, if you only eat by yourself, you will not have the motivation to cook. Just make a bowl of noodles."
Seeing his depressed look, Leo suddenly felt a little regretful and couldn't help but add: "If you don't work overtime, I will call you-do you have a cell phone?"
There was a happy shadow on Li Biqing's face again, "Today I am going to buy a new mobile phone and card."
"Send me the number after you are done." Leo took out a note and pen from his pocket, and after writing down his mobile phone number, he tore off the paper and pasted it on the desktop, then turned and left.
Li Biqing stretched out two slender fingers, clamped the piece of memo paper and pulled it lightly, showing a faint smile towards his back.
When he received the text message saying "I am Bi Qing, this is my new mobile phone number, I can call me when I have time, I am bored", Leo was busy asking new witnesses, trying to get The other side judged whether this guy was using the FBI in the description of the preface and not followed by the words, so there was no time to reply.
When he threatened the boring bastard severely, detained him on the cold floor of the local police station, and revisited the murder scene by the way, the sky was already dark.
Sitting in a black Chevrolet SUV gnawing on a fast-food restaurant burger bought by Rob, Leo contacted a language training class run by a private company and assured him that he would take care of the students so as to ensure that the students can study smoothly after reaching the standard. University courses, and free tutoring of admission applications to various universities.
Although Jasmine meant to entrust her boyfriend to take care of him before returning to China, Leo considered his occupational hazards, coupled with the recent lack of a permanent home, and in case he had to move across the state, it was really inconvenient to take Li Biqing. Take it with you. The best way is to apply for a language school for him here, and let him wait for Jasmine while studying. As for the rented apartment, it happened to be left for him to settle down.
It is really difficult for a person to live in a foreign country with language barriers, but after a few days of contact, Leo also discovered that although Li Biqing looks a little natural, in fact, he is quite capable of taking care of himself. Maybe he will be able to adapt here soon. Life. Leo, who had made up his mind, called Li Biqing's new number, ready to tell him to work overtime tonight, and sent him the language school address and contact information by the way.
After playing three times in a row, all he heard was the "shut down" prompt, and Leo felt that something was wrong. Finding out the message sent by the other party a few hours ago, he took a serious look, and finally found the doubt: Since he told him "you can call me when I have time, I'm bored", how could he be in an unaccompanied foreign country and let the new The phone you bought is turned off? He doesn't believe that a person who doesn't understand English will play the English version of mobile games desperately until the battery runs out.
After making another call, it was still turned off, and Leo's feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. But his current location is at least two hours away from the rented apartment. Besides Kaiyuanlu and rushing back to confirm the safety of the other party, there are other more convenient methods.
He quickly dialed a number and asked concisely: "Srina, I'm Leo. Are you still in the office... I want you to check the location of this mobile phone number." He quickly reported. Serial number, paused for a while and said: "Yes, it's off, I want the specific location."
Sitting at the desk of the Criminal Justice Information Service, a short girl with freckles holding her black-rimmed glasses, with her fingers knocking on the keyboard like an enclave, she answered in a soft voice: "... Yes, I I’m checking, I hope that cell phone hasn’t been unplugged... It’s located, in the southwestern district of this city, I will post the specific location on your cell phone map."
Leo hung up and quickly opened the map, and a clear red dot flashed on it. The street marked by the red dot was more than an hour’s walk away from the apartment he rented. What's more, it was a famous gay district in the city! As a city that publicly issues marriage certificates for homosexuals, and even the mayor himself is a gay coming out, the policy in this area is naturally quite loose. Gay parades and carnivals are held every year, gay people kissing on the streets can be seen everywhere, and passersby are also He rarely casts a discriminatory look-but this does not mean that he can calmly watch his sister's boyfriend dangling in the gay zone! Whether it's voluntarily admiring the name, or being abducted because of language barriers-thinking about the appearance of the person, the latter is much more likely.
Imagine Li Biqing walking on the street with a small fresh haircut, handsome face, and fair skin with an innocent face. It is simply a sweet and soft walking pudding that can be eaten without a spoon. , As if sorry for his mouth-Leo thumped the steering wheel with great annoyance!
Rob, who was gnawing on the double-decker giant in the back seat, was taken aback. Then he felt the car start suddenly, fluttered horizontally, and threw the meatloaf in the bread room into the sky. A greasy mark was photographed on the roof of the car, and then it fell straight down. "—Damn it!" Rob hurriedly wiped the grease stains on his shirt, and exclaimed angrily, "Can you say hello to me before starting suddenly, so that I have time to fix myself on the earth?"
"Sorry buddy." His partner said insincerely. "I have something to rush back to the city. If you mind, you can get off wherever you want."
"I don't fucking get off the ground where birds don't shit!" Rob said angrily. "If you suddenly think of any clues about'killing', you don't need to sell it, you can say it now!"
Leo hesitated and said, "No, it has nothing to do with the case. It's just a private matter to be dealt with... I'll stop in the city center for a while. You can do it yourself."
"Okay, I have a day off tomorrow." Rob asked grimly.
"Approve." Leo replied bluntly.
Thank God, there is no endless overtime or a day without a big guy Leo! Finally, he can get rid of the fate of wallflowers and go to the bar to make a hot girl. Rob suddenly feels refreshed, and even the darkened scenery outside the car window is particularly bright.
Rob was unloaded on a street full of bars in the city, Leo continued to drove, the flashing red dots on the map approached more and more, and finally with a sudden brake, the Chevrolet SUV stopped at the entrance of a park with dim street lights.
Leo jumped out of the car and looked at the deep forests and rolling lawns on both sides of the asphalt path. He felt like he didn't know where to start. The GPS location sent by Srina could not be accurate enough to determine where to stand. If you want to search thoroughly At least dozens of police must be used in the park in front of you. What is the reason, because an FBI suspects that his sister’s boyfriend is causing trouble? Hell, he will be on the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper.
Just as Leo pinched his eyebrows wearily, and began to consider whether to notify the local police on the grounds of the kidnapping case (if missing, the time was not up to the standard), a staggering figure emerged from the depths of the path, rubbing the back of his head slowly Go to the entrance to the park.
Leo squinted his eyes and stared at him getting closer and closer, the familiar face was indeed a look of innocence and dazedness as expected-Li Biqing was about to hit him, only to realize that someone was in front of him, and raised his head like Seeing him at the beginning of his dream: "... Leo? It's a coincidence that you are here too."
The federal agent who wished to slap him awake, inhaled the cold breath in the middle of the night, suppressed the nameless fire, and gritted his teeth and asked: "Why did you come here? Do you know where this is?"
Li Biqing looked around, "A certain park? Portland is full of parks. I don't know which one of them is. How did it come... I remember going out at noon to buy a mobile phone and a new card. It happened that the salesperson was also Chinese. , He kindly sent me a text message, and then I plan to walk around..."
Leo said with a sullen face: "Just walk around, it's been nearly two hours?"
Li Biqing didn't seem to hear his interrogation clearly, and said to himself: "It didn't take long to walk, a big white man rushed over from behind, bumped me, and snatched my wallet. I called robbery. Chasing him, chasing to an alley, was attacked by two people in ambush, probably his accomplices. You see, the swollen bag on his head has not yet receded." He stretched the back of his head over and touched Leo very aggrieved. .
Leo frowned and touched it. Under the chestnut-colored soft hair, the slightly bulging lumps were warm, and he could feel the hot pain as soon as he touched his fingers. "It's too dangerous, why are you chasing the robbers yourself? Don't you call 911!"
Li Biqing said depressed: "The incident happened suddenly, forget it. When I remembered to call the police, the phone was also stolen."
"Then, did they hurt you?"
"I didn't know during the time I passed out, but when I woke up, I found that I was in a park... Although I didn't understand it well, the three people seemed to say they wanted to play with me."
Leo's face was pale. He naturally knew what the "playing" meant by these street bastards... He grinded his back molars hard, and squeezed a hideous and distorted voice from his teeth: "These damn scumbags!"
Although professional inertia urged him to understand what happened afterwards, such as the process of the violence, how the victim escaped, what impression he had about the appearance of the gangster... But Leo clenched his teeth, and didn't want to ask more. He took Li Biqing's hand and walked away, and said coldly: "Get in the car!"
Sitting in the warm and comfortable carriage, Li Biqing gently twisted her sore neck, as if she hadn't noticed the extremely ugly face of the driver beside her, breathed out comfortably, and then slowly continued the topic: "Just now Speaking of... Oh, they said they wanted to play with me. Maybe they thought I was very bullied, but I didn't even tie my hands and feet, so I kicked my yin leg and ran away. Fortunately, this is a primitive ecological park. , You can use obstacles to go around in circles. On the road, I also encountered a pair of field lords. I guess they were worried about being seen, and they didn’t chase after them. I just got rid of these three perverts. , He couldn't help but smile, with a hint of childish pride.
Leo slammed on the brakes!
At the same time as the body was shaking, a hand strangled Li Biqing's throat and roughly pressed him against the car door. The back of his head fell to the car window glass. The cold and hard feeling made him feel excited. A pair of dark blue eyes burning with anger, at this moment, just like the surging sea on the eve of a storm, occupying all of his vision. The handsome face close at hand was distorted by the excessive anger, exuding the fierceness and fierceness of two people. Dangerous breath.
Li Biqing's eyes widened in amazement, and his lips moved silently:... Leo
Leo's unusually sharp and cold voice approached him: "You think it's funny, don't you? An episode dotted with ordinary life, an experience that can be laughed at afterwards? I should really show you those kidnapped, raped, Photos of the scene of sexual abuse and dismemberment! Do you know how miserable the 17-year-old boy died in the last case I took over? He was also kidnapped by three people, tied to a tree trunk in the dense forest, and gang-raped. After being tortured for two days, he was finally killed and abandoned. When we found him, he was cut from his chest to the scrotum, and he could even see his pelvis! Mercury slowed from the hole in the skull. Slow in, can you imagine the pain he suffered when he was dying? If your luck is so bad today, what kind of corpse do you think I will see? You idiot!"
Li Biqing was completely stunned.
After the other party vented, he shook his neck vigorously, panting quickly, his chest undulating anger under the black suit.
Li Biqing looked at Leo, suddenly stretched out his hand, gently adjusted his messy forehead, and said in a low voice, "I know, I have good luck today-good luck is not always there. I promise, again. I won’t be so adventurous anymore. In the future, let alone robbed my wallet, even if my wife is robbed, I will not chase him."
Leo was about to laugh at him, twisting the muscles on his face, and after a while he returned to his normal expression, "If Jasmine is robbed, you must chase, otherwise I will beat you to death!"
"Well, I will do what you say." Li Biqing evened the wrinkles on the collar, and said softly in a thick nasal suit: "Could you go home for dinner, I'm tired and hungry."
"It's midnight, I have to open fire again when I go back. Forget it, find a restaurant and eat something casually." Leo sighed, and gave up the idea of further ideological education for this innocent and sinister guy.
The original plan has to be overturned. He overestimated the other party’s ability to take care of himself in life. If this guy is left alone in this city, he will probably see his name on the police list of victims in a few days. . At that time, let alone Jasmine couldn't spare him, even he himself would not forgive himself.
The night wind entered from the car window, Leo turned his head and glanced at Li Biqing in the passenger seat. Among the fragments of light passing by, his slightly pursed lips and drooping eyelashes hide an amazing delicacy—the boy tilted his head and leaned on the back of the chair, and fell asleep peacefully.
The soft feeling in his heart spread again, Leo slowed down and stopped by the road, took off his suit jacket and put it on him, then naturally curled his fingers and stroked his smooth and clean cheeks.
This is just a subconscious action, as if the heart is overflowing with compassion, and it must escape through this slight touch. Even the man who made this action himself did not realize that he treated another of the same sex in this way—the other party even It's his future brother-in-law—what's wrong.
The car stopped quietly for a while, then started smoothly and gradually merged into the traffic flow coming and going under the street lights.
(Night Demon? End)
Phew, the introduction is finally over, and then we have to enter the official plot (case?)
Hehe, I didn't guess it~ The answer was announced, "Brothers".
The lines between the two soldiers are quite loving:
"Well, it smells good."
"This thing is orange. Pasta shouldn't be this color."
"This is not pasta, it's army noodles with tomato sauce."
"No one forces you to eat."
"Oh, come on, as an Italian descendant, you should know that calling this thing spaghetti is a crime."
"If you don't eat it, give it to me."
"Oh, I want to eat, I'm eating."
