St. George's 13th Block Apartment Building

By the time Adam had finished speaking to his neighbors and explaining why, it was already two hours later.

When he returned to the room exhausted, he found that the door was still open, and Xiao Qihan was sitting on the sofa, looking at the virtual painting system that had broken into three or four pieces, and his face was like a frosted eggplant.

Adam closed the door with his backhand, his eyes fell on the cardboard boxes stacked in the living room, he took a closer look, and found that the existing boxes were stuffed with clothes in a mess, some boxes were filled with a bunch of cosmetics, some boxes were some dark skeleton dolls, and some boxes were some books and picture books, the content of these books was roughly similar to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" Monster Chronicles. These large and small boxes are piled up throughout the living room, Adam's room originally had only one living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and the house, which was originally not large, is now more crowded, like an early train on the subway, and it takes a stitch to stand firmly.

Adam looked at Qi Han, who didn't say a word, but looked at the broken virtual painting system repeatedly, and knew that he had done something wrong.

It was he who was too impulsive, did not predict the situation, and rushed into the room directly with a gun.

As a police officer, it is precisely because he carries a gun that he should always maintain a calm judgment.

In the end, it's because of inexperience.

If it were Sheriff Osborne, he would not have done such a ridiculous thing......

Adam sighed and sat down on the sofa next to Qi Han, she moved to the side angrily, not next to him, her dreadlocks hung down next to her cheeks, she wore exaggerated black eyeshadow, she looked like an addict.

“…… I'm sorry. Adam looked at the irretrievable virtual painting system in Qi Han's hand, "This ...... Can it be fixed? ”

Qi Han pursed his lips and ignored him, obviously still angry.

Adam coughed slightly in embarrassment, as if apologizing to the air: "...... It's that I didn't think it through, I thought that the person who broke into the empty door came again, kidnapped you again, and rushed in with a gun as soon as his head was hot. ”

Qi Han raised his eyes and glared at him, with anger and grievance in his eyes.

"I told you, I'm going back to pack my things today."

"Then why don't you close the door? If you remember to close the door, I wouldn't have thought there was someone who broke through the door. Adam wondered.

This sentence seemed to touch the rebellious scales of this rebellious girl, and she frowned and looked at him: "...... So you're blaming me now, officer?! ”

Adam leaned his elbows on both knees and scratched his head: "Uh, that's not what I meant......"

"And what do you mean?"

"I mean, maybe you can 'kindly' close the door when you enter the room, and it will also reduce the chance of misunderstandings, right?"

He replaced some of the milder words, but they still sounded the same thing.

Qi Han was not happy when she heard this, she pulled her face and glared at Adam: "Why are you like this?!" You scared me and broke my things, and now you're still blaming me?! ”

"I'm not blaming you......"

"Are you a man or not?"

Seeing that this girl who was still in the rebellious period couldn't communicate with each other, Adam simply stood up and looked at Qi Han: "I was indeed at fault, I shouldn't have rushed in so impulsively and scared you, I'm sorry, I apologize to you." But I'm also worried that something will happen to you, and, miss, why are you standing by the window and fiddling with this high-tech thing? This is the 18th floor. If you really have that precious it, shouldn't you stay away from the window? ”、

Away from the window?

Thinking of this, Qi Han was angry.

"Officer, I called you earlier and asked you to help move so many boxes of things, but you said you were at the police station, okay, then I'll do it myself." Qi Han pointed to the boxes next to him, "Just when a woman was carrying a lot of things up to the 18th floor, my bag accidentally hit the wall, I was worried that the virtual painting system in the bag would be broken, so I wanted to check it, but the signal of your broken 'slum' was not good, and I couldn't connect to the network, so I walked to the window and wanted to try it!" You figure out the situation! ”

Mr. Adam was speechless for a moment, but then he heard the word "slum" and was not happy.

"This is not a slum."

"Oh? Isn't it? This apartment building has been around for fifty or sixty years, and you are surrounded by poor people, so you are embarrassed to say that this is not a slum? ”

The girl was indeed covered in thorns, like a hedgehog, making it difficult to get close.

Not only the way she dresses, but also her unforgiving attitude is uncomfortable.

Adam walked over to the window and calmed his mind properly.

When he was troubled, he always liked to stand by the window to calm down, and in the past, when facing many difficult criminal suspects, he also found his reason through such a short silence.

I didn't expect to face a girl like this today.

It's ironic.

After a while, Adam turned his head to look at Qi Han: "Miss, make it clear, now I am obliged to take you in, I hope you can make a proper change here, after all, you are going to be in this 'slum' for a while." ”

"Hmph, interesting, are you obligated to take me in? Isn't it a directive from your superiors? Qi Han saw the reason wisely, "They didn't send other police officers to interrogate, they must have let you monitor me 24 hours a day." ”

"It's protection, not surveillance, don't say it so ugly." Adam frowned.

Qi Han opened his eyes: "You are the same as him." ”

"Who?"

"Eric Jackson."

"Your father?"

Qi Han didn't speak again, just sat back on the sofa and fell silent.

mentioned the deceased father who prayed for cold, and the quarrel calmed down for a while.

One second, ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute......

A terrible silence crept between the two men.

Adam secretly glanced at Qi Han and looked at her side face, but couldn't see her expression.

The corners of her mouth were pressed down, as if she was sad, but her brows were tightly locked, and there was still a little dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was resentful.

For the first time, he felt that a girl's mind was too hard to guess.

Adam stood back by the window and pondered for a few seconds, thinking that men should take on more responsibilities, even if it was not a big deal to pretend to be grandchildren, and that it was appropriate to let women be a mature man's practice.

Thinking so, he sat back beside Qi Han and adjusted his tone: "I'm sorry." ”

“……”

"When you moved your luggage today, I was indeed at the police station, because I had an investigation report to write about the empty door, and I also had to report to the sheriff about your recent situation, as well as listen to the progress of the investigation and exchange information with colleagues, today's meeting was relatively long, and I couldn't leave."

“……”

Adam coughed lightly, not knowing if she could accept this explanation, his eyes fell on the virtual painting system she put aside, the painting tool was originally the shape of a drawing board, but now it has been broken into three or four pieces, and the smart chip inside has fallen out, and the connection lines inside can still be seen on the edge of the broken drawing board, looking at this miserable situation, it seems that it is not easy to assemble and restore it casually.

"Can you show me what it looks like? I've also been exposed to some smart tools, maybe I can understand some of the way......"

Just as Adam wanted to step forward to see the situation of the virtual painting system, Qi Han opened Adam's outstretched hand.

"Don't touch it, don't you think it's broken enough." She turned her head, the anger in her eyes unabated.

"There's a computer store on the street, I'll take it and see if the guys in the computer store can fix it......"

"You don't need to pretend to be a good person!" Qi Han looked at Adam with hostility, "This is my sister's thing, and no one can touch it." ”

"Qi Han, maybe what I just said is a little wrong, but I hope you can understand that I want to help you." Adam looked at the gauze that was still wrapped around Qi Han's forehead, "You had a concussion before, it's better not to get excited so easily." ”

"Oh? Officer, you know I had a concussion. Then why don't you remember my concussion when you let me flap that big box myself? ”

"Who knew you had so many things...... Adam glanced at the seven or eight large boxes behind him, all of which already filled two-thirds of the living room, "My house is so small, even if you move here, you won't have a place to put it." ”

"I ......"

"And now you put everything in the living room, it's not convenient to get in and out, how can you live? I don't have a dining room at home, and I eat in the living room, so you might as well move those things back as soon as possible. ”

Qi Han's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "You asked me to move these things down from the 18th floor and send them back to 92 Lexington Avenue?" ”

"You can pay someone to hire ......"

"That's Eric's money, not mine!" Qi Han picked up the virtual painting system and walked towards the only room, "In the future, this room will belong to me, and you will sleep on the sofa." ”

Qi Han slammed the door shut, the movement was a bit loud, and the chandelier panicked.

Adam rubbed the corners of his forehead, and quarreled a few more times, afraid that he would have to apologize to another household.

He squinted and looked out the window, but he couldn't figure out why Qi Han was so angry, and no matter how much he apologized, he didn't want to forgive him.

But then, he remembered what Qi Han said-[This is my sister's thing, and no one can touch it. 】

Worst.

He hadn't touched it.

It was directly broken.

There were also a few broken petals......

Adam lifted his forehead, only to feel a headache.

It seems that she will not give him a good look in the next few days.
