Chapter 40: youoweme6

If there is one word to describe Lance's mood now, it is well deserved to be flattered, as he said when he talked to Red last night, Rhett's EQ is as low as his IQ is high, even Morgan, who has been with him for more than two years in the BAU team, has not been able to shout 'Spencer' until now.

Lance's mood was written on his face.

Red frowned, "Is there any problem?"

Lance rubbed his face, "It's just a little flattered, so the little doctor just called me Noah, is this the rhythm of wanting to be friends with me?"

Red pursed his lips, "You can call me Spencer." ”

Lance waved his hand, "These are all small things, compared to 'Spencer', the title of 'Little Doctor' contains my unique love - as soon as you hear someone call you 'Little Doctor', that's me~"

Red's fair face flushed, and he turned his face away.

Lyra made her tea and walked out, and Lance was wincing at the puzzle on the wall.

She put the teapot on the table, "Noah, what are you doing?"

"The composition of this painting is interesting. Red turned his head, "Is this what this picture looked like when it was given to you?"

Leila nodded, "It was given to me by Parker, and I love it." ”

Red frowned as he listened, to be precise, he wasn't very sensitive to art.

"Hey, Noah, what do you think of this painting?" Leila handed the conversation to Lance, "You've been looking at it for a long time. ”

Lance sighed, "To be honest, I think this painting is just a large painting cut into small parts and then put together, and I've already seen a lot of quarters of human faces." ”

“……”

"So......" Red narrowed his eyes, "I think I see you, Lyra." ”

“……”

Leila swears she's never seen such an incomprehensible man in her life!

"Don't doubt me, I turned out to be from the Department of Cultural Preservation. Lance walked over to the table and took his own teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, "Leila, your yard is beautiful." ”

Leila: "I've heard you say that compliment when you walked through the door. ”

"Of course, of course!" Lance took a sip of his tea, "I thought you liked to hear compliments." ”

His expression was very innocent, and Leila choked, then relaxed, "Noah, Noah." ”

...... "Girl, you call his name like that, he feels wet behind him."

Red coughed, "Layla, didn't you just say you were going to rest?"

Layla took a sip of water and shook her finger at Red, "No, no, I'm much better now." She paused, "Okay, now which of you sues me, if it's really Maggie, what are you going to do?"

Lance shook his head, "I don't know, you know, in fact, I don't understand anything, I think the meaning of my zài is to make soy sauce." ”

Red subconsciously glanced at Lance before turning his head, "This kind of thing should be considered by the police, I mean, our mission is only to help the police." ”

Layla covered her mouth, "Okay, but I still don't get it. She paused, "I've heard that you can lock it out by phone, it's already like this, why ......?"

Lance sat down on the couch, and then he began to snap his fingers, "First, although we have locked on the character of Maggie, since she is out there, no one knows where she will go in the next second. Second, you've angered her by asking the police for help, and of course you're doing the right thing, and she's even killed Michael. ”

The corners of Lyra's mouth twitched, but she nodded.

"So if you call her rashly, it will inevitably break her bottom line again, and she may go crazy, and it will be even more difficult to control at that time. Third, if we use you as bait, Leila, we'll just have to wait for her to come to the door herself. Lance sighed, "It's your choice, Layla." ”

"I know it's my choice. Leila nodded again, "I'm standing here right now, and if I catch Maggie, I'll have to ask her myself why she did this, it's so ......" She kept her mouth shut as she remembered the slain Michael.

Lyra didn't go upstairs to rest at the end, she sat on the couch with her knees crossed, and watched blankly as Lance and Red dismantled her puzzles.

Lance put the last piece back together before breathing a sigh of relief, looking at the painting revealing the prototype with admiration, "How long have you known Parker? ”

Leila grabbed the pillow next to her and said in a muffled voice, "Soon." ”

Red raised an eyebrow, "I remember you said you went to college in Houston, and Parker and you knew each other and he couldn't have known it in such detail, here's a picture of your career, Leila." ”

"It's just Maggie now. Leila sat down, thinking about it and feeling a little depressed, she shook her head, felt that her head was a little heavy, and looked into the yard, her house was made of glass doors, it was already dark outside, the pool was very beautiful in the light of the charming blue, and there was no sign of influence through the glass door, as if it was in a fairy tale.

She stood up and began to undress.

“……”

"Calm down, little doctor, she's just going for a swim. Lance looked at Rhett with a smile on his gaze, which suddenly began to dodge.

Leila did pull open the glass door and walked outside.

Red immediately wanted to stop, "Leila, Leila, it's dangerous, it's dangerous outside." ”

Leila didn't stop, she walked to the edge of the pool and sat down, put her two beautiful legs in the water, swayed, and slid into the pool.

Red stood by the pool, "Layla, it's not alarmist, Maggie might be nearby right now, it's not safe." ”

Leila's head poked out of the water, her blonde hair pressed against her cheeks, her eyes staring at the water, and there was a moment of confusion, "Didn't you say you would protect me? ”

Red wanted to say something, but Lance looked at the sky silently, "It's late, the moon is out." ”

Leila swam twice and then turned her gaze to Lance, "You're going to protect me, right?"

Lance shrugged, "Self-protection is more important in this situation than the protection of others, Lyla." ”

Leila pursed her lips, but swam over to this side, and she held out her hand at the edge of the pool, "Noah, pull me?"

Lance's gaze swept around the pool, then paused in the bushes next to the chair, his eyes narrowed, and he patted Red on the shoulder perfunctorily, "Leave it to you, Little Doctor, I'm going to lie down on the chair over there for a while." ”

As he spoke, the man had already walked to the chair, and as he walked to the chair, he suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it at the bushes in front of him, "Come out." ”

"Whoa!" There was the sound of something falling into the water behind him, and the movement was not small, but Lance still put all his mind on the bushes in front of him as if he didn't hear it, "Listen, if you don't come out, I'll shoot." He pulled the safety bolt above the gun, "My patience is limited, give you three seconds, three ......"

"One!"

Lance's fingers paused on the trigger, and he saw a man emerge from the bushes with his hands held high, and a camera in his right hand.

"Get out. ”

The man looked up and smiled at Lance, his smile full of flattery, "I, I'm just a journalist......"

"I don't have time to chirp with you, come out now, or I'll blow you up." ”

"You can't!"

"There's a lot of nonsense, I blew you up because you trespassed into the house, and I defended myself. Lance's eyes were fixed on him, "You still want me to count to three?"

The man's shoulders fell, and although he was unwilling, he still listened, and Lance did not relax after he walked out, "Red, inform Gordon of them." ”

There was a sudden sound of water rushing behind him, and Lance felt the green tendons on his forehead jump.

Holding the gun in one hand and reaching forward with the other, he grabbed the man's hand, pulled it in his direction, and then twisted his body to reverse him, suppress the man, and then pressed his back with his legs, and then put away the gun.

"Rhett?!"

"Good...... Good. There was another sound of water behind him, and there was a hint of exhaustion in Red's voice, "My gun and ** are wet." ”

“……”

When Lance waited for the rest of the BAU team to come to help, he sent the man away, and Morgan quickly stepped forward to take over and roasted the man with handcuffs before Lance let go.

"I'm asking for handcuffs for the next attendance. Lance touched his wrist, "That's too bad, okay?"

Al sighed, picked up the camera from the ground, leaned over to look at it, and then looked at the man, "Reporter?"

"When ......"

"He's not a journalist. Kim shook his head, "He's just a disgusting character who specializes in blackmailing with indecent photos." ”

Seeing that his request was not answered, Lance reluctantly turned around and saw Leila and Red.

Layla sat in a daze wrapped in a large bath towel while Red wrung his soaked clothes.

As if sensing Lance's gaze, Red raised his head, but the eye contact with Lance was only for a moment, and then he turned his face away, and was about to walk over, when the reporter shouted behind him, "Police, I'm going to appeal! This man was just going to kill me!"

Kim covered his eyes in disgust, and the most helpless thing was the one who couldn't figure out the situation.

Al chuckled twice, "Hey, Lance, you're going to the police station. ”

"Tsk. Lance didn't reply, "Now the layout is disrupted, and if the suspect is nearby, it will be a surprise." ”

Morgan pressed the man's arm, "Yes, yes, this is not only the crime of extortion, but also the crime of obstructing official business." He said with gritted teeth.

"Oh~" Al turned on the camera and gently pulled out a roll of film, "And these beautiful things~"

"No!"

Al shrugged his shoulders, "SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT'S INSIDE, IT'S A SHAME." A smile appeared on the little face with a little meat, "It doesn't look like there's anything~"

Lance walked over to Red, and next to him stood Gordon, whose face was as black as the bottom of the pot, "Ruined, how do you get it?"

Gordon's face darkened even more, "The police have been watching Maggie's residence all afternoon, and she hasn't been back, so she must be nearby now." ”

Gordon was cruel to himself, and it was rare that Leila, who was the victim this time, could agree to be a bait for herself, and now that the plan was disrupted, it was not a good sign for them.

“UM…… I'm sorry. Red pursed his lips.

"It's not your fault Spencer. Gordon turned, "This is also a good opportunity, we her off. ”

Lance slapped himself in the face, "I didn't sleep tonight." ”

When everyone at the scene was almost gone, Leila stood up, her eyebrows were tired, "I want to rest." ”

"Okay. Lance nodded, "We're downstairs." He said as he helped Red twist his clothes, "When I went back and reported it, I said that you fought with the gangsters and fell into the water, and the gun got wet." ”

Red stiffened.

"But the water is slippery next to the pool, why didn't you pay attention to yourself?"

Leila silently pulled the bath towel, "There's a bathroom downstairs. ”

Lance patted his head, "Then the little doctor should wash it, the clothes and so on will be sent by them." ”

Layla's eyes flashed, "Then I'll go upstairs." The man had already run up the stairs, but suddenly stopped around the corner.

Red wondered, "What's wrong with Layla?"

Lance also looked up, and saw Leila's stiff body stepping back, and he subconsciously quickly took out his gun and aimed it at the position in front of Leila's right.

Red stepped back as well.

"Look, look, who's here. As the female voice appeared, the silhouette of a young lady gradually appeared, with a sarcastic smile on her lips and a gun pointed at Lyra's head, "Why are they here, Lyra?"

Layla's calf trembled, "Mar...... Maggie?"

"Why is she here?!" Lance almost roared, this one was different!

Maggie tilted her head, "I'm so close to her, it's normal to have the key here, isn't it?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand, Maggie, why are you doing this!" Lyra said in a staccato manner, "I'm so nice to you. ”

"What?" Maggie's eyes widened, "You're good to me?"

"Why did you kill Michael......"

"Leila!" Lance snapped, "don't say that. ”

Maggie's eyes narrowed again, "No, no, Layla, you say, honey, you say." ”

"I ......," Layla swallowed, her gaze fixed on the muzzle of the black hole pointed at her, "You're not going to hurt me, are you?"

Maggie smiled, "I can forgive you if you come with me." She turned Leila's body over so that her face was facing the door, "After all, I created you, you are so perfect......"

"Nope. Leila looked at Lance, "It's my own effort." ”

"What...... What?!"

Maggie's face distorted suddenly, "No! I created you! I! it's me!" her hand holding the gun trembled, obviously angry.

"No, Maggie, it's not you, I even helped you get a job at the radio station. Leila shook her head slightly, "Maggie, you're my best friend, we can't do that." ”

Lance wanted to give Lyra a face.

Maggie's eyes gradually cooled, "Remember when we were in college? It was cold, you came to my dorm room, it was just the two of us that night, you performed in front of me, it was the best moment of my life." ”

"Maggie, Maggie, it was just one night......"

"That's the best I've ever had in my life!" Maggie roared, but the next second her voice softened, "You're playing Ophelia."

Lance reached out and kicked Red in the shin just as Lyra was about to speak, "Sue her." ”

"What?" Rhett subconsciously asked, and the next second he reacted, "Should I sue her?"

"Uh-huh. Lance took two steps forward with his gun in hand, and stopped when he saw Maggie's sudden gaze, "Tell her little doctor, what happened to you and Leila in the pool just now." ”

Red frowned and coughed dryly, "Listen Maggie, it's not you who Layla loves. ”

"What? she doesn't love me, does she love you?" Maggie's gun was pointed at the back of Lyra's head.

"She loves him!" Red pointed at Lance decisively.

Lance: "......"
