70. Seventy
γγγFor love, you need to have no scruples, no distractions, no fear, no complaints and no giving.
When Red heard him say this, he turned his head to look at the side of his face with a very strange look in his eyes. Although Liu Fanxu's prompt was in advance, Rhett was still a little surprised to hear such an unfrank dialogue. Malfoy was obviously very happy to know the news that his godfather was still alive, and he was very willing to take care of it himself, but this person said the exact opposite thing with all his twists.
If he hadn't seen through his micro-expressions, he would have been deceived by his cold and unsympathetic words. It turns out that the so-called Slytherin is not likable, and it is only because the people who face them do not appreciate their sincerity. Also, if the person you are facing doesn't even have the idea of patiently listening to your true intentions, how can you talk about deep friendship?
It's really a group of people who would rather lack than excess, and be proud to the extreme. Red sighed like this, but he also slowly calmed down the anxiety he had just felt because he couldn't see Liu Fanxu immediately. He finally calmed down and was able to take his time to appreciate the buildings and scenery around him. The last time he came in a hurry, and he was anxious about whether he could get the approval of Liu Fanxu's family, so he actually didn't appreciate the castle properly.
This time, his state of mind is very different from the last time, and he knows that he is now looking at the home that witnessed Liu Fanxu's birth and growth from the perspective of Liu Fanxu's husband. Although, she doesn't admit that she regards this place as home, and she even uses the cold word of old mansion as a pronoun for this place. But Red knows that in fact, deep in her heart, Liu Fanxu has a different kind of deep feelings in her heart. It was a love she would never be able to let go.
Liu Fanxu herself just hasn't found out yet, she doesn't know that every time she feels hesitant, she will mention the old house, and every time she feels powerless, she will only think of the old house. This place has not only existed as a house, it is itself Liu Fanxu's family.
And the survival of the family is the place where the soul can be comforted. Red curled the corners of his lips and raised his hand to brush the blue-gray wall, his eyes swept through the colorful streamers. Malfoy watched this Muggle action quietly, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, he knew that he was actually doing this just too much, but as the godfather's godson, he was obliged to fulfill the godfather's wishes, so he always reserved the right to review the other half of the godfather's beloved disciple.
However, Liu Fanxu's vision has always been very good, not only on the issue of family development, but also when choosing the other half, even if this man is a Muggle, he is also a unique Muggle. Malfoy lifted his hand to touch his chin, and the smile on his face became more meaningful.
When Liu Fanxu woke up, it was already late at night, and she moved her sore arm, but she realized that there was another person lying next to her. Her brow only frowned, and she immediately realized that this person was Red. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and a smile slowly faded across her face.
Red didn't sleep heavily this time, probably because of a change of unfamiliar environment. He has always had poor sleep quality and used to suffer from insomnia. Now with Liu Fanxu, although he can fall asleep, he can only fall asleep when they are in their home and Liu Fanxu has to lie down beside him, which is like a kind of spiritual dependence.
He knew that this dependence would be like a drug addiction, making him more and more unable to leave, but he didn't want to quit at all, and he was willing to give up. Red opened his eyes, the drowsiness gradually receded, he raised his hand to take Liu Fanxu into his arms, kissed the top of her hair and asked in a low voice, "Are you better?" β
Liu Fanxu nodded, rubbed the skin on his chest with his eyes closed, and said in a muffled voice, "Spencer, is the case smooth?"
"It's all smooth," Red paused and continued, "They all know it. β
"Well," Liu Fanxu didn't react more, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and the expression on her face seemed to be smiling, she didn't really care about it at all, but she knew that Red cared. So, she still asked rhetorically as if she was concerned, "What about them?" β
"They think it's cool to be a wizard!" Red said. He pursed his lips and chuckled. He's not lying, that's what Morgan said. He knew that they really didn't care about her difference, and he also knew that Liu Fanxu didn't particularly care about their opinions. said this, not because Liu Fanxu was indifferent, but because she was originally such a casual person, her world is very small, and the people she really cares about are very limited. Otherwise, she wouldn't have walked straight back to the conference room with Phantom Shifter.
Liu Fanxu didn't speak, she quietly enjoyed the moment when the two of them embraced. Red was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I saw Malfoy. β
"Yes." Liu Fanxu responded lightly, and didn't react much, obviously she had already thought of this matter. Red didn't care, he continued, "Malfoy is a nice guy. It's a little awkward, too proud, and occasionally childish, but overall it's a good friend. β
This time Liu Fanxu was no longer indifferent, her body was trembling slightly, because she couldn't suppress her laughter, she raised her hand to wipe the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes, cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Spencer, you are so cute, I really want to see what kind of expression Malfoy will have after knowing that you say this about him."
"So what did you all do today?" Liu Fanxu asked along the topic of Rhett.
"The magnolia flowers are beautiful, the flower house is beautiful, and the castle is majestic," Red threw a bunch of adjectives at first, and then said seriously at the end, "This is where you were born, and I love it here." If possible, I hope we can all come here to spend it, how about it? β
"Spencer, you don't have to-" Liu Fanxu said very lightly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Red, and he continued in a cheerful tone, "No embarrassment, Aga, I really like it here." Here, I seem to see the whole process of your slow growth from a little baby to a young girl. I love exploring your past, and of course that's what you allow, Agha. β
"Yes, that's what I allowed. If that's what you like, we can certainly come here every week, which couldn't be better. Liu Fanxu raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she stretched out her fingers to hook his sleepy placket, attached to the temperature of his arms. She said slowly, "I'm glad you took the initiative to come here, I'm glad you enjoyed it." Spencer, it was the most beautiful surprise to meet you. β
"Accident?" Red retorted, "No, Aga, meeting you is inevitable in my life. β
The next day was not a weekend, and they had to rush back to Washington, D.C., and Rhett shook Liu Fanxu's hand and sighed, "It's incredible, I never thought there would be such a day, spending the night in a castle on the outskirts of England, and going to work in Washington, D.C. the next morning, it's crazy, I actually did it." β
"You have to thank me for making this miracle happen." Liu Fanxu stepped on his foot and kissed his chin, she smiled and squeezed Red's hand, and the two returned to their home in the United States together.
When they stepped out of the elevator door, they happened to meet Morgan, he saw Liu Fanxu, immediately smiled and opened his arms, walked quickly in front of her, hugged her, and then happily teased, "How are you, are you okay, magic girl." β
Liu Fanxu hugged him back, ignoring his exaggerated greeting, but his eyes swept over a certain slender figure behind him, and said to him bluntly, "Morgan, how does it feel to be held by the stars?"
"Awful," he replied in a low voice in her ear, and although the look on his face was a mixture of enjoyment and distress, Red didn't sympathize with him at all, he raised his hand and nudged his shoulder, pretending to be impatient, "What are you waiting for, so many people are waiting for your date invitation, why did you come to us." β
"Hey, I'm principled too!" Morgan retorted with a straight face, pushing open the glass door of the department's office area as he continued with righteous words, "My rule is not to date women with guns. β
"Oh, you're so disciplined." Liu Fanxu praised with a smile, and Morgan grinned in accommodation, "Of course." β
While they were chatting, Hodge walked briskly out of his office and beckoned them to the conference room, which usually meant that there was another case that required them to be on the field. When the group arrived, Hodge pointed to the message on the monitor and roughly recounted the case for them. This is not a serial murder case, and the only confirmed death so far is the boyfriend of the girl who was kidnapped.
"I wonder if the reason we accepted this case was because of her father?" Liu Fanxu looked at the message left by the kidnappers on the monitor and asked in a low voice. Hodge shrugged and replied, "Not exactly, we have less than nine hours to get to the scene and have her father ready for ransom." β
"He never said 'I,'" Morgan said, looking at the monitor, "and he's distancing himself from the case." β
"He didn't stop his family from calling the police, he wanted the police to get involved." Ella frowned and said, "Could it be that the kidnappers want to fight the police?" Is he trying to provoke the authorities? β
"Or the police are involved, so that he can be more aware of the progress of the case." Liu Fanxu said suddenly, she pointed to these messages, and said slowly, "Although he used 'you' to distance himself from the case, this kind of word habit also has a full commanding tone, maybe his work has such a speaking characteristic, does the kidnapper's profession have any connection with the police?" β
"That's what we need to be on the spot to figure out." Gordon finally said.
"Aga, do you have no problem going out in the field?" Hodge suddenly looked at Liu Fanxu and asked, she was stunned, shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, Emma is taking care of the tutor at home." β
"Emma?" Ella's smile was a little wicked, and she leaned over to Liu Fanxu and asked, "Is it also a wizard?" β
"No, she's a house elf." Liu Fanxu shook his head and replied with a smile. Ella glared and asked, "What's that?" She looked at Red, only to see him curl his lips and shrug his shoulders as if you might have guessed.
Hodge nodded, and said thoughtfully while packing up the materials at hand, "If there is anything, please tell me directly, and I will try my best to help."
"Okay, Hodge, thank you." Liu Fanxu smiled and nodded, she looked at Hodge's somewhat tired look, and asked hesitantly, "You look tired, don't you have a rest?" β
"No, it's not me, it's Hayley," Hodge heard her ask, Yan SΓΉ's face suddenly showed a gentle smile, and he helplessly explained, "She didn't rest well, the doctor said that her blood sugar was too high, and she had to stay in the hospital for observation for the sake of the fetus, and I was worried that she wouldn't be able to stay in the hospital at all." β
"Oh, is that so?" Liu Fanxu habitually frowned, she raised her hand, hesitated, and under everyone's puzzled gaze, she took out a thumb-sized crystal bottle from the space mezzanine in the belt buckle. After she picked it up and confirmed, she handed it to Hodge, and said with a crooked eyebrow, "If you don't mind, you can use this, just put a drop in her drinking water every day." β
Hodge looked at Liu Fanxu in surprise, he reached out and took the bottle, the expression on his face was still in the incredible stage, Liu Fanxu smiled and said, "If you are willing to try, this formula is specially prepared by me for pregnant women, well, my friend's wife was also using it some time ago, and the effect has been clinically verified." She deliberately added that last sentence, it was a strange feeling, it had been a long time since she had been awarded the title of Potions Master, and she had not been in a situation trying to convince others of her potions' potions.
Hodge smiled and nodded, put away the bottle in his hand, and repeatedly confirmed, "Is it okay to just drop a drop?" It is necessary to use a ratio of several to several. β
Liu Fanxu shook his head and followed everyone out of the conference room, while explaining to Hodge beside him, "In fact, wizards take the whole bottle and drink it, but Muggles, well, are people who don't know magic, they only need a small drop, if you want a more precise number, I can provide one for your reference, the ratio of 500ml:1ml is the most perfect." β
"Hey, Aga, I've always wanted to ask you, is there a magic that can tell who the murderer is at once?" Morgan leaned over to her and asked with a bright look in his eyes.
Liu Fanxu smiled, she shook her head and explained, "I'm sorry, Morgan, I don't know if this kind of magic exists, at least I don't know how to use it, and besides, wizards can't cast spells on ordinary people lightly, and if there is no reasonable reason, the Ministry of Magic will forcibly intervene." β
"Ministry of Magic?" Ella asked in surprise.
"It's a long conversation, are you really sure you want me to talk to you about it now?" Liu Fanxu raised the case file in his hand and continued, "In addition to magic, we are also the same as you, we have a stable social system, and naturally there will be law enforcement officers. Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos a long time ago. β
"Aga, you can tell more accurately if a person is lying, right?" Gordon asked suddenly, looking into her eyes, and the look on his face was very affirmative, even though he was asking. Liu Fanxu nodded and replied frankly, "Yes, I have many ways to confirm whether a person is lying to me, and not only that, but I can also force him to intervene to make him tell me the truth." Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at the friends around her, and asked with an evil smile, "Are you afraid?" My dear, I probably don't have any secrets in front of me. β
"Cut!" "Huh!" The response given by everyone was quite disappointing, they shook their hands with a lack of interest and a cold reaction, and seeing Liu Fanxu's dumb face, Gordon explained with a smile, "Have you forgotten what group you are in?" Liu Fanxu suddenly realized, she lowered her eyelashes with a smile, sighed and said softly, "Yes, you are a group of profilers who can find out other people's secrets without magic." β
Red had been silent since the beginning, and he was glad that Liu Fanxu was able to fit into the group, which he regarded as half family. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips and chuckled, and Morgan raised his hand around his shoulder, and did not speak, but sent him a message of support with his actions. They are partners and family at the same time.
"Even so, the future interrogation will be left to you to lead." Gordon curled the corners of his lips and closed the coffin. Liu Fanxu blinked, nodded, and didn't care. Now that she has decided to join, she has to find her own place here, although everyone has accepted her, it has always been Liu Fanxu's insistence to be able to find her own more unique status at any time and anywhere.
Because of his precautions, after arriving at the victim's home and having a short contact with the local police, Liu Fanxu had quietly locked up the suspect. She told them the identity of this person, and the next thing was no longer to find the unknown suspect, but how to induce him to show his feet, so as to grasp the evidence to arrest him.
It's just that when everyone thinks that the murderer has been arrested and the matter is resolved satisfactorily again. Liu Fanxu frowned and picked up a clan emblem from the ground, and the pattern on it was the shape of her familiar ancient shield crossed with two ancient swords. She stepped forward and grabbed the murderer who was about to be taken away by the police, he used to be a policeman, but at this time his identity was a murderer, however, he didn't seem surprised to see Liu Fanxu grabbing his wrist, he even hooked the corners of his lips and said something unclear, "He's looking at you!" β
