Chapter 718: Eat melon members +1 (please give me your first monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening when Jack returned to the apartment. He simply fried a steak. He sat at the dining table and told Hannah about his experience today while eating.
The little sweet girl had already been aroused by the messages he sent before returning home. Listening to his eloquent words, she really regretted that she shouldn't have gone shopping today.
She was not interested in the murder of the bridesmaid, but she was very interested in the gossip. After all, Cassel always gave people a feeling that his love life was unreliable. Just like his two ex-wives, they always had a way to eat when they got married and divorced. As casual as drinking water.
"So it seems that you have discovered the opportunity for Cassel to become a playboy?" Hannah's eyes flashed with a light called gossip, and her hands kept moving.
Jack took a closer look and found that she was sending messages to Lanny, the female forensic doctor he had met today. Hey, he had witnessed it with his own eyes as to why gossip spread so fast.
"Not necessarily, but at least it is one of the reasons. But I really didn't expect that a person like Cassel had only one lover in college. He seemed like he was almost talking about marriage. He could only It is said that the encounters in life are really magical, if they had "
When Jack said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he and Hannah spoke in unison.
"John Nolan!"
"Old Rookie John! Haha."
Not only do these two guys look alike (nonsense), but their experiences in the first half of their lives seem to be somewhat similar. They were single-parent families, studied well, and had a childhood sweetheart in college who stayed together forever.
"In other words, if Kayla had not been so resistant to marriage, or had gotten pregnant unexpectedly, then Cassel might have been a consistent and good family man now." Hannah tilted her head and thought, looking cute.
"Then New York City may be losing a beloved, best-selling author."
Jack laughed dumbly, but when he turned around, he found Hannah staring at him unblinkingly, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
His heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to pinch her baby cheeks, "Don't worry, even if this is just a dream, I will try my best to find you after I wake up."
Hannah snorted disdainfully, put her smooth cheek against his warm palm and rubbed it gently, "I will definitely find you first, so that no one else has a chance."
"Hahaha." Someone had to use a dry smile to cover up his embarrassment.
Early the next morning, after clocking in to work at the Federal Building as usual, Jack took Hannah out with her at the urging of her impatient hint. Anyway, the two of them had no new cases at hand at the moment, and Jubal also asked for leave.
After the results of his eldest daughter's bone marrow puncture came out, he was so relieved that he simply took two days off to spend time with his two children.
The two of them went out of the city first to go to the new office. The renovation progress there was actually pretty good. The water, electricity and pipelines were almost done. The reason why they came over to stare at it was because it would not only be used for offices in the future, but also might be used for office work. Several rooms were set aside for dormitories.
When Jie Jie officially comes to report, Jack will definitely have to move out of the luxurious penthouse. He has not yet decided whether to buy a house on Long Island, or buy a house on Staten Island like Danny's family, so he probably can only Moved into dormitory temporarily.
This small building occupies a large area, more than enough to open a small and medium-sized supermarket. Jack plans to reserve a room for each team member. It is not only a welfare, but also a place for everyone to have a good rest when they are busy.
Of course, it was also necessary to build a kitchen for his own benefit. He hadn't cooked for a long time, so he had to buy a cigarette hood, a high-burning stove and a large refrigerator.
It was almost noon when the two arrived at the NYPD 12th Precinct, and they happened to meet Beckett at the elevator entrance who had just returned from the medical examiner's office.
The two girls greeted each other warmly, but their smiles were very fake. It was not that they were talking about plastic friendship, but that one knew that the other was here to watch her show, and the other knew that the other knew that she was here. Watch the show.
Anyway, Jack could tell that Beckett was already trying very hard to resist the urge to roll her eyes. There was nothing she could do against the two busy FBI agents.
After walking out of the elevator and arriving at the detective's office, the duo were leaning side by side in front of the evidence board, holding a novel and whispering, describing some sex scene in too much detail.
Beckett was depressed and had nowhere to vent. The question she asked Cassel in the elevator yesterday was not out of gossip. According to Jack and Hannah's analysis last night, the eldest sister was now conflicted.
It has been more than half a year since Cassel wore a bulletproof vest with the word "WRITER" on it and became her partner. They have solved many cases together, and it is impossible to say that there is no chemical reaction when they get along day and night.
However, the personalities of the two are quite different, especially Cassel's casual attitude towards life, which is like a naughty boy. Beckett, who is accustomed to following the rules, is very uncomfortable with it, which makes the layer of window paper between the two seem a bit... unbreakable.
Especially in terms of love life, it cannot be said that Beckett has no love experience, but he is indeed a relatively conservative in this regard. At least he can go on a date with those popular New Yorkers to eat, drink, and then wake up the next day. The attitude towards life when you don't know anyone is completely different.
What Beckett longed for was the traditional love of getting married, having children, and staying together for a long time, while Cassel lacked precisely this kind of sense of security.
So according to Jack's analysis, although what happened yesterday made her subconsciously jealous, it also indirectly allowed her to discover the New World. The appearance of the bride Keira at least proved that someone was not born to be so cynical.
At this time, the female detective had already walked up to the Huobao duo with a straight face and long legs, and said angrily, "Aren't you two supposed to be doing background checks?"
"Of course, we are investigating the background of the bride." Kevin was frightened and quickly closed the page of the book in his hand. As a result, the title of the book was revealed, adding a few more black lines to Beckett's forehead.
"All day yesterday, I felt like the name Keira Bryan was familiar, and then it suddenly occurred to me that Cassel's second best-selling book, "Eternal Roses," was dedicated to her."
Before he could finish speaking, Esposito took the novel from his hand, turned directly to the title page, and read the sentence above, "I would like to dedicate this to Keira Bryan. Light."
After saying that, the two of them turned to look at Beckett with a mean smile on their faces.
Beckett resisted the urge to roll her eyes and tried to maintain the last bit of dignity of the iceberg female boss, "When I'm not here, will you two play with each other's pigtails and discuss which of the 'Jonas Brothers' is the cutest? "
"Jonas Brothers" is equivalent to the old American version of "The Point Boys", an idol band sought after by thousands of young girls in Europe and the United States.
Jack called these two guys the live-action duo for a reason, and the action started right away.
"Of course not, but since you mentioned it, it must be Nick."
"Kevin is the most talented."
"Yes, Nick is the cutest."
"What about Joe?"
Jack wordlessly took the "Eternal Rose" from Esposito's hand and flipped through it, then handed it to the curious Hannah and said to her in a meaningful way.
"In this way, when Cassell's first best-selling novel came out, he and Keira probably had not broken up yet, so the reason for their breakup was probably not because of vulgar reasons such as dislike of poverty and love of wealth."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Beckett to hear as he walked up to the evidence board and pretended to be busy.
