In the exclusive office of the F.B.I. Chicago office, Moretti and her partner, Probert, discuss the case. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of a whiteboard plastered with photos, Moretti put her hands in her hands, stared at the relationship chart of the characters on the whiteboard, frowned and asked, "Still no clues?" ”

Probert's face was covered with the word "exhausted" and his eyes were bloodshot. He shook his head and said, "No." Whether it's Kevin Belloc or Stephen Lanham, it's as if they've disappeared from this world, and no one knows where they're hiding. ”

"It can't be!" "We've checked the surveillance footage at all the intersections in Chicago, the airport security video, and even all the docks, and there's no way they're going to slip out without a trace." They must still be in Chicago, hiding somewhere! As long as you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find some clues. These are two gangs, not two litters of rats, how can such a big target not even be able to find a clue?! ”

Probert and Moretti had been paired for years, but it was the first time they had seen her lose her temper so much. Although the two are partners and the relationship is much closer than that of ordinary colleagues, as a big man, being reprimanded by Moretti as a subordinate still makes him feel very uncomfortable. He was already in a very bad mood because of extreme exhaustion, and he was even more angry at this time. He grinned and snorted, "What if they're still in Chicago?" I can't go through every corner of Chicago! ”

Moretti was stunned by Probert, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while. At this time, Probert spoke to her in such a distant and cold tone for the first time since he became her partner. After a long while, Moretti realized that her angry behavior had hurt Probert's heart, and she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry! I just lost my temper......"

Seeing her apologize, Probert sighed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay...... I know you're in a hurry. After all, this case is so big that the whole country is staring at it, and all the pressure is on you. ”

"......," Moretti was silent. She didn't know what to say next.

At this moment, she suddenly regretted a little, why did she have to take this case into her own hands? At that time, she felt that this would be a good opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service and get ahead, so she forced her superiors to agree to the joint investigation of the two cases on the grounds that the case involved the assassination case of the Lukese family, which she had been investigating in the first place, and seized the lead in the case. But now it seems that this is not a great achievement, but a huge hot potato. If she can succeed, she will certainly be able to become an official and become a knight, but if she fails, I am afraid that her career will suffer a lot of negative impact.

What to do? Moretti bit her lip and pondered. Since she can't find the whereabouts of Kevin Belloc or Stephen Lanham, her original idea of handling the case is bound to be declared bankrupt. To break through the current embarrassing situation, we can only find another way of thinking and see if we can find another breakthrough......

When people are cornered, they often do amazing things. If it is put into action, it is called a "desperate fight". And if it is a thought, it is the so-called "flash of inspiration". The same is true for Moretti. She bit her lip and thought about it for a long time, almost biting her plump and beautiful lips to pieces, and finally thought of a solution that was not a solution.

"Maybe we can use James Evans to lure Kevin Belloc out," she said. ”

"What?" Probert didn't understand what Moretti meant.

"We deliberately spread the word that James Evans was bargaining with the prosecution to testify against Kevin Belloc in exchange for the prosecution dropping the charges against him."

"Huh?!" Probert was dumbfounded.

"This is, of course, fake news. But Kevin Belloc doesn't know, does he? He couldn't just hide like this for the rest of his life. In order to get away with it, he will definitely find a way to stop James Evans. ”

"You mean? Will he kill people? ”

"Yes!"

But James Evans was hiding in his manor, protected by a brigade of bodyguards. How could Kevin Belloc succeed? ”

"It's up to us to find a way to lure him out of the manor and get the news out to Kevin Belloc." Moretti said mysteriously.

……

Just when Moretti was thinking of all kinds of tricks for her future, she was enjoying the enviable blessings of Qi people who had worked so hard.

It's just that this time, the woman of Qi Renfu is not Lydia and Hannah sisters, but Yuanyi and her group of companions.

On this morning, as soon as Zongheng walked out of the door of the apartment to the street, he once again saw Yuan Yi guarding the street.

Zongheng was a little surprised, and then he said unexpectedly: "I said, if you have something, you can call me, so that you are not tired of guarding the gate?" What if I don't show up for class today? ”

Yuan Yi's face turned red and white for a while by Zongheng's words, and she said viciously: "Phew! I don't want to stand here stupidly early in the morning and wait for you! If it weren't for the strong request of the sisters of the club, I wouldn't want to pay attention to you in my life! ”

Zongheng was aroused by Yuan Yi's words. He asked, "Sisters of the Society?" School clubs? ”

Yuan Yi didn't want to answer him, but he remembered the entrustment of those good classmates in the club, and he couldn't just leave. In desperation, she had no choice but to reply angrily: "Yes! I'm kind of moldy! When I walked with you when I entered the school gate that day, they thought that I had a good relationship with you, so they asked me to pass on this invitation to you! ”

As she spoke, she took out a hard envelope from her bag and handed it to Zongheng from afar.

Zongheng borrowed the envelope and pulled out a greeting card-like thing made of bells and whistles.

He looked closely, but it was an invitation. On the front of the invitation, there is also a hollow "囍" character.

"Is this who is going to get married?" The face is inexplicable.

Yuan Yi's face was also flushed, looking ashamed and annoyed. She yelled, "What are you talking about? Don't you just open it and see it?! ”

Zongheng didn't know what Yuan Yi was angry about, he opened the folded invitation card as he said, but saw that it was written in English: "Dear Mr. Nemo Lee: I heard that you bravely fought a cobra to save the security guard, and my community admired it very much. You are hereby invited to attend the internal exchange activities of our association at 3 p.m. on November 26, 2001 on the first floor of the west annex building of the gymnasium. We hope you will give us your advice! ”

The invitation was signed "University of Chicago High School Faculty Department".

"What's going on here?" Zongheng asked, shaking the invitation card in his hand.

Only then did he realize that it was not someone who wanted to invite him to drink a wedding wine, but to invite him to participate in some "internal exchange activities within the community". But why use a wedding invitation?

Yuan Yi was already blushing, and at this time, he was even more embarrassed that his neck was thick. She yelled angrily, "Less nonsense! Are you here or not?! ”

Zongheng had the intention of teasing her, so he said: "Whether you participate or not, I'll talk about it later." Tell me first, what's going on with this invitation? I was invited to participate in club activities, why did I use a wedding invitation? Is this what you wrote? ”

"It's not! How is this possible?! Yuan Yi jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"Then you're going to explain it to me?" Chase this question vertically and horizontally.

Yuan Yi wanted to avoid this question from the bottom of his heart, but he was afraid that if he didn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't make an appointment. After struggling for a long time, she told Zongheng the reason in a hurry......

"You mean, this invitation was made by those foreign girls in your club?"

Yuan Yi nodded hurriedly.

After Yuan Yi's explanation, Zongheng finally figured out the reason.

It turns out that this so-called high school kung fu club affiliated to the University of Chicago is a club formed by a group of girls who like Chinese kung fu under the influence of Yuan Yi. These girls follow Yuan Yi to learn some so-called kung fu (vertical and horizontal evaluation) on weekdays, and by the way, they also came into contact with some traditional Chinese culture. Know that inviting people to an event is to send out invitations. So they went to Chinatown to buy invitations, and somehow, they bought back this kind of wedding invitation.

"You didn't tell them that this is not the way the invitation is used?" Zongheng asked with a smile.

Yuan Yi blushed and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "They only told me about this last night, and they had already written the invitation at that time...... I can't discourage them......"

Zongheng felt more and more amused: "If it were me, I would hide this invitation and write another invitation myself, or convey the invitation verbally." ”

Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "Ah...... I didn't expect ......"
