Chapter 33: Betty Visits
"Mr. John, don't you really have the slightest impression of Jared?" asked Cook as he pushed the two photographs in front of John, with a solemn expression.
Those two photographs, one of Jared as a child and one of his youth, were taken from Cook's album.
John frowned, looked at the two photos on the table, and after a long time, shook his head.
Cook's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again with some unwillingness: "You really don't know?"
John nodded.
Seeing John nodding, Cook hurriedly took out two photos from his arms, spread them on the desk, and asked eagerly: "Do you have any impression of the people in these two photos?"
John looked fixedly, picked up one of the pictures from the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and stared at it for a long time, this photo was the picture of the woman in the hospital gown, that is, the picture of Jared's mother.
Cook frowned, staring nervously at John's face, trying to pick up a bit of information from his expression.
Since John doesn't have the slightest impression of Jared, it is very likely that his impression of his sister and mother is zero, and maybe the only thing John can remember is Jared's father, after all, he was the one who shot him back then!
Sure enough, after looking at it for a long time, John sighed softly and put the photo in his hand back on the table.
Obviously, John has no impression of Jared's mother.
Well, that's all that's left ...... Cook fixed his eyes on the last photo, which was the only family portrait that belonged to Jared, his father, among them!
Under Cook's scrutinizing gaze, John finally picked up the last photo.
"This person!" just a glance, John actually stood up from his seat with a shocked face, his hands clutched tightly at the photo in his hand, his eyes full of disbelief.
Really...... Cook's heart sank slightly, and John's reaction spoke for itself.
"Original...... That's right...... No wonder......" After a long time, John sat back in his chair as if deflated.
From the first time he saw that man, all the grievances, all the rights and wrongs, he had cleared up.
"Why did you shoot him?" asked Cook in a deep voice to John, who was naturally Jared's father.
John was silent for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "I didn't shoot his father, but I don't say anything, his father's death does have something to do with me." ”
Cook was silent, staring at John tightly, quietly waiting for John's next words.
"It should have been ten years ago, I had just finished dealing with business from the bank, and when I came back, I heard a cry for help, I searched for it, and found his father robbing there, and when he saw me, he immediately turned around and ran away, and I naturally couldn't let him go, and tracked him along the way. ”
"Because he had a hostage on his hand, I didn't dare to use the ability, I just followed it secretly, but he still found out, and he was like crazy at that time, and he cut many knife marks on the hostage's face with a knife, trying to force me to leave, but I didn't ......"
Eventually, it was as if his mind had completely collapsed, and he was about to die with the hostage...... The last moments...... I shot ......"
At this point, John's eyes already showed a trace of remorse.
"And then?" Cook continued, curious to know what had happened after that.
"I managed to shoot him, but it didn't hit the deadly spot, and in a state of panic and madness, he finally got rid of the hostage, and then ...... It seems that this is the reason why his ability is out of control, and the surrounding wood, rock, and soil are all rushing towards him, although I immediately used the ability barrier to help him block a lot, but I can't help it...... There was still an iron pipe piercing his forehead......"
John's memory of the incident was palpable, as if it had been repeated right now.
"Then aren't you going to make any representations to his family?" said Cook through gritted teeth, his tone full of anger.
In that case, why don't you go and appease his family? Even though he is already a wanted criminal, he is not guilty of death, right? Are you, who have a direct relationship with his death, so completely ignoring his family?
"No...... I have investigated the situation of his family, but according to my information, his wife has died, and as for the children...... It was written in the information that they didn't have children......"
"What?!" Cook's pupils shrank, he slapped the table, and roared in a low voice with excitement, "This can't be!
John's face was also ugly and indignant, the matter had come to this, how could he not know that the information back then must have been tampered with.
Bastard! How dare you deceive the leader of a city! John clenched his fist in his right hand and slammed it on the table in indignation.
"Little Cook!" came the coquettish shout of Highlando, and Cook felt a pair of soft hands gently pat on his shoulders, causing the anger that was surging and tumbling in his chest to subside at once.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had gone too far, lowered his head, and said softly with a ashamed expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. John, but I was excited." ”
John laughed at himself, waved his hand at Cook gently, and said, "It's okay, thanks to you this time, I can find out how stupid I am, it seems that choosing to resign still shows that I am somewhat self-aware." ”
"Well, in any case, the matter is getting more and more complicated. Hylando rubbed her eyebrows, only to feel a dull pain in her skull.
"Anyway, let's find out who was searching for information back then. After Cook calmed down, he asked in a deep voice.
Highlandor and John also nodded, this is the highest priority at the moment.
"Then, Dean John, we'll go back first. ”
……
At the door of the hotel, Cook and Highlander got out of the car one after another, and after a few brief words with the driver, they turned around and entered the hotel directly.
"Speaking of my brother's absence, how long are you going to wait here?" In the distance, Dai Lisha's dissatisfied cheers could already be heard in the corridor of the hotel.
"Wait...... Please, I'm here to visit with sincerity, don't you resist me so much, okay?" Then came a girl's coquettish voice, and when Cook heard it, his face suddenly turned strange.
Isn't that the voice of the girl named Betty, what is she doing here?, Cook thought a little depressed.
"Hmm? Little Cook is quite heterosexual. After hearing Betty's coquettish voice, Highlandor also covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing at Cook.
"Does this have anything to do with me? Isn't it here to find you, Sister Lan?" Cook said with a speechless glance at Hylando.
Highlando's forehead was holding her forehead in pain, if she could, she really wanted to punch Cook in the head and swing his sluggishness away.
Little Lisa's jealous and vigilant "I said that my brother is not there" has already explained a lot of problems, okay, the little girl is here for you!
Alas, little Cook won't break the thirty-year-old single record of Jade, a member of the headquarters of the Ryan Academy, in the future...... Hailanduo thought sullenly, don't say it, the more she thought about it, the more Hailanduo felt that it was more likely.
"What are you arguing about?" said Cook as he walked to the door of the room, watching the two girls arguing, and said with some speechless wondering.
When Betty saw Cook, she lifted her long skirt directly, stomped on her high heels, walked directly in front of Cook, and pointed directly at Dai Lisa hiding behind the door without looking back, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said, what's the matter with this guy? It's too rude to block people in front of the door like this, right?"
Well...... You're too polite, aren't you...... Cook looked at the corners of Betty's long skirt and thought with some confusion. It's not a ceremonial club, isn't it inconvenient to dress up so solemnly?
"Little Lisa is a little scared, please don't care. Although he complained so in his heart, Cook still found a reason for Dai Lisa to justify it.
"Don't!" However, at this time, Dai Lisa suddenly burst out from behind the door, pushed Betty away, and threw herself into Cook's arms, staring at Betty very vigilantly, and shouting, "You are too close to my brother!"
"Huh?" said Betty as she was pushed away by Dai Lisa, staggering a few steps backwards, and almost falling to the ground, crying out in confusion.
At a glance, Cook had already hugged Dai Lisa very dotingly, and let Dai Lisa rub her face on Cook's face affectionately like a little wild cat, and then deliberately chose an angle that Cook couldn't see, and glanced at her as if showing off.
"You ...... What's the matter with you two?" Betty said in disbelief as if she couldn't accept the scene in front of her, her smaller face suddenly turned red.
"Huh? This is an ordinary brother and sister relationship. Cook replied as a matter of course.
"How can any brother and sister be like this!" Betty stomped her foot as if angry, and then rushed forward directly, hugged Dai Lisha's ***, dragged it back with all her might, and said, "You guys control the distance." ”
"I—no! yes!" Dai Lisa's soft arms wrapped tightly around Cook's neck, refusing to leave.
This guy is surprisingly small...... Just as the two girls were pulling desperately against each other, Cook felt Betty's slight force, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Hmm...... It's fun to watch you fight like this, but I think it's more important to get down to business. "Highlando's always pulls in when it matters.
Betty also suddenly remembered something, let go of her hands in a daze, and after a long time, she suddenly came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, blushed her face, looked straight at Cook, and said coquettishly: "Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, I will wait for you at the door of Claudia's clothing store, you must go over, do you hear?"
At the end of the words, the girl's momentum suddenly climbed to the top, making people dare not refuse.
"Oh...... Oh......" Cook replied stunned, and Dai Lisa was like a wild cat feeling a crisis, her eyes fixed on Cook's face.
Highlando's look of not being afraid of too much of the excitement looked at Betty's shyly red cheeks, revealing an interesting and happy look.
My sister decided to retract her previous thoughts, and little Cook is still very capable.
