51. Fifty-one
I believe in the contradictions of life, and perhaps because of this, everyone has their own dark side. Some choose to take refuge, some choose to go against it, and some choose to fight it. The last qiē becomes as natural as breathing. And there will come a time when we have to face up to the truth behind it, and this truth is ourselves.
What made Red even more irritable was that his call to Liu Fanxu was not answered. He frowned, fiddling with the empty box in his hand with the tips of his fingers, when the mobile phone rang suddenly, he immediately took out his mobile phone, and answered the call directly without even looking at the caller's name, "Hi, Aga?" Liu Fanxu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Hi, Spencer, I'm sorry, I just went back to the old house, so I didn't receive your call." Red's brow furrowed even tighter, and he muttered "Old house?" ”
"Well, I've dealt with some leftover texts, and I'll ask Emma to send them here in the future." Liu Fanxu lowered his eyes and said thoughtfully, "When you have time, I want to invite you to visit the place where I grew up, I don't know if you-" Red immediately grinned stupidly and said, "Of course." She smiled even more happily, her fingertips rubbing the corners of her clothes, "That's it." "It's settled!" Red replied happily, then remembered why he had just called, and then frowned again and continued, "You said that if I play a CD a lot, and it's not in the box, where is it?" ”
Liu Fanxu also frowned, she really didn't know this question, after all, she was a wizard, and she only started to come into contact with CDs after she came to the United States, and she didn't listen to them often. So she didn't know where it would be put if she listened to it all the time. But if it was something else, such as a book she read regularly or a potion she used to use, she said uncertainly, "Spencer, you know I don't listen to CDs very often, but if it's a book that I particularly like, I'll put it in the place where I read it so I can get it whenever I can get it without having to go back to the bookcase and look for it." If it's a tool that I use regularly, I'll also put it in a makeshift tool holder on the bench instead of organizing it into a tool box. So, if it's a CD, wouldn't it be—"
"In a CD player or in a laptop drive!" Rhett's speed was so fast that he jumped out of bed and walked briskly towards the attic. He gasped, ran to Morgan's side, poked open the optical drive with a thin wire, and there was indeed a CD inside, he smiled and said to Liu Fanxu on the other side of the phone, "Aga, dear, it's really here." Liu Fanxu first smiled happily, and then pouted a little depressedly and complained, "Hey, why don't I feel happy at all, I feel terrible to have the same thinking pattern as the murderer." ”
"Hey, Aga, I'm imitating the thinking patterns of a perverted murderer every day, and my feelings are even worse, so are there any condolences, such as a box of cookies!" Morgan grinned and approached the phone in Red's hand and shouted in appreciation. Red glared at him, pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, and retorted in a low and unconvincing voice, "Hey, I haven't eaten it in a long time!" Liu Fanxu smiled and narrowed her eyes, and she replied happily, "Okay, that's not a problem, there will be a cookie feast waiting for your triumphant return." The old rules, for four! ”
"I'm afraid you'll have five servings, and while I'm not sure if Gordon likes this, he's back, Aga, and our sick team leader is back." Morgan said inexplicably, Red frowned disapprovingly, he glanced at Morgan, and explained to Liu Fanxu, "Ajia, Morgan is just a little worried about Gordon's condition, you know the reason why he took sick leave in the first place. ”
“PTSD。” Liu Fanxu continued, "It's been more than a year, hasn't he completely recovered?" ”
"In fact, I found out that he never stands with his back to the window now, and if I stood between him and the door, he would let me go away!" Morgan said with some excitement as his fingers flew as he typed the password that Red had just guessed on his keyboard. Then there is the sound of successful entry, and the surveillance video of the victim being held in a cage appears on the monitor.
"This is a normal reaction after PTSD." Liu Fanxu replied with a smile, and Morgan continued dissatisfied, "Oh, come on, Aga, I know it's super alert, you and Red said the same." He complained to Liu Fanxu while calling Gordon and Hodge. When the call was answered, he reported to them what he had found here. Although the victim has not been found, at least it is known that she is still alive.
"Na! I'm going to prepare a triumphal cookie for you now, and you're going to focus on finding out where the victim is, okay? Liu Fanxu got up from the sofa with a smile, and she said as she walked to the kitchen, "I'm hanging, Spencer, stay safe, love you." Red frowned, carefully observing the surveillance footage, and said goodbye to Liu Fanxu, "Okay, Aga, I love you too." Hanging up the phone, he felt a little uncomfortable, looked up and found Morgan holding his phone and staring at him with a gossip on his face, seeing him driving over, he repeated with a wicked smile, "I love you too?" So together in that sense? ”
"We're married, to be exact." Refocusing his attention on the monitor, he suddenly pointed to a point on the screen and said to Morgan, "Hi, Morgan, can you divide the images from this time period into 12 parts and put them together." Morgan glared and sighed, "Oh, Las Vegas!" After a few quick taps on the keyboard, twelve screenshots immediately appeared on the monitor as Rhett requested. Red stared at the chandelier above the picture, pursed his lips and whispered, "Hey, do you see, the chandelier is swinging!" ”
Liu Fanxu packed the cookies, took the invitation with his name and a reply to Mrs. Hudson, and walked out of the house. It was late, but she believed Garcia was still fighting at his post. Because she is a member of BAU, she is always available to inform her teammates when they are on the field. She didn't try to get into the FBI headquarters, which was heavily censored, and there was no point in her going in when her Red wasn't here, so she just dialed Garcia's phone, and sure enough, the sweet girl was still in her computer room.
Handing the box to Garcia, she told her that it was the triumphal cookie that Morgan had requested, and that she wasn't sure exactly when they would arrive, but she had a hunch that they would be able to enjoy it early tomorrow morning. Garcia hugged her vigorously and handed the box to the guards to inspect, which was the normal process. Garcia is a chubby, no, rather plump and lovely girl, strong, kind, and loving. Even though she is a tech nerd, she still volunteers at welfare homes on weekends. They met there by chance, and they gradually became acquainted.
Liu Fanxu rarely has female friends for a variety of reasons. But Garcia is a cheerful girl, and she will take the initiative to approach you and care about you. So, before they knew it, their relationship had become very close. She handed the other bag she was carrying to the guards, and when she saw Garcia's puzzled gaze, she explained, "Although there is also your share in the cookie, you better not open it now, I am too lazy to wrap only one box, and this time your team leader Gordon is also there." She blinked and admired Garcia's aggrieved little expression for a few seconds, and then continued, "This bag is full of what you like to eat, although I don't recommend that you eat too much food at night, but for the sake of you going to fight all night here, I still brought it to you." ”
Garcia's eyes lit up instantly, and she hugged Liu Fanxu again, shouting in a messy voice, "Oh, Aga, you are really my angel, how can I live without you!" Liu Fanxu rolled his eyes, patted her on the back and said, "Didn't you live well without me in the past 20 years?" Oh, come on, get out of the way! It's bad to be misunderstood by others, and our relationship is terrible! ”
Garcia let go of Liu Fanxu, held his heart and complained, "Aga, what's the matter with being misunderstood, so that I can kick Dr. Rhett and love you for a lifetime." Liu Fanxu pursed his lips disdainfully, and glared at her with slanted eyes, "You don't want your chocolate handsome guy anymore?" I've heard that someone is very obsessed with this sexy male god. Garcia immediately jumped far away, with a posture of wanting to draw a line, and the corners of Liu Fanxu's mouth twitched for a while, only to see Garcia take the box and bag from the guard and wave at Liu Fanxu, "That's not good, my sexual & sensual wild cat is still waiting for me, you hurry up, let's go, let's go!" ”
Liu Fanxu glared at her, turned to leave, and Garcia shouted behind her, "It's so late, when you go back, pay attention to safety!" Call me when I'm home! Otherwise, Dr. Red would have killed me. She didn't look back, but raised her hand and waved it to show that she knew.
The apparition moved home, freshened up and lay down in the comfortable bed, and then felt tired. She looked at her phone, then at the already dark sky outside the window, and gradually sank into her dream as she muttered that Red was coming back soon.
When Red pushed the door and entered the house, what he saw was Liu Fanxu's sweet sleeping face. He carefully locked the door, carefully put down his backpack and took off his coat, carefully washed his tiredness in the bathroom, carefully changed into pajamas, carefully leaned over to the bed, carefully kissed Liu Fanxu's lips, carefully lay beside her, and carefully hugged her into his arms. He closed his eyes, his heavy heart gradually became soothed and soft, he sighed, as Gordon said, solving a case is not a pleasant mood, because they all know very well that there may be more perverts committing crimes outside, but as long as he thinks that she is working with them to save those innocent people, he feels that such endless darkness is not unbearable.
The corners of Red's mouth gradually drew a smile, and he closed his eyes and kissed the top of Liu Fanxu's hair: "Thank God, you are with you!" ”
