0032 Every family has a Bible that is difficult to read
People's perception of beauty, their perception of beauty, and their need for beauty are second only to the need for wealth and power.
In some classes that do not have access to wealth and power, the need for beauty will overtake these two elements as the first goal to be pursued.
Lynch's handsomeness is also a beauty, and everything changes a little when the cop develops a crush on Lynch and empathizes with him for losing the ring he was going to give to his girlfriend.
Of course, even without these changes, Lynch would have let things go ahead when he was in a phone booth outside the antique shop, and just as he was about to call the police to report a stolen sale there, a car with police lights but no sirens stopped outside the antique shop.
Two policemen got out of the car, and one of them pulled out a pistol, apparently on duty.
This made Lynch feel a little ...... Confused, he hung up the phone, hesitated, and stared at Michael's house from morning to noon, he wasn't sure if little Michael had gotten the ring, but now it seemed that things were a little more complicated than he expected.
Just as he was considering whether to re-enter Michael's house to check the gold ring, he saw little Michael struggling to be escorted out by two police officers and handcuffed him, and Lynch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and also felt worth it for his two slightly trembling legs.
He rode his bicycle after little Michael's car, if it wasn't for the bison being too eye-catching, he might have missed it at the last intersection, but fortunately, the orange background and bright red flame pattern were very eye-catching throughout the street, allowing him to find his target at a glance.
Little Michael would never have imagined that this gold ring would make him a "prisoner", let alone that he deliberately ran away so that he was caught in the jurisdiction of another police station.
Every city in the Federation of Baylor has a regional police station, which is often located near the town hall and is mostly administrative, in other words, the work of the regional police station is management, not attendance.
The ones who are really responsible for the front-line work are the various sub-bureaus, such as the sub-bureau of a certain street in Sebin City, and the sub-bureau of a certain district, which have drawn their own jurisdictions, and they will not enforce the law across districts, nor will they interfere in the work of other districts.
It may seem like each substation is independent of the other, but there are some things that are shared with each other, such as certain information.
Little Michael's actions hurt him, and if he sells the gold ring in an antique shop near where he lives, then it will be the local police station that will be responsible for the arrest, and eventually he will meet the sheriff he met in the morning, so that there will be some opportunity to operate, or a channel of communication.
But he didn't do that, and was arrested after crossing more than one district, and the police department in that district didn't know anything about him, so it was impossible for him to sit down and talk to a burglar, let alone listen to his nonsense—every criminal caught in the police station said he was innocent until all the evidence was laid out in court.
The next thing is to wait and operate, Lynch rode his bicycle back to the warehouse area, waiting for the "summons" of the police station, not to investigate him, but to let him assist in the investigation, he will definitely cooperate with the police's requests, and he will also take the initiative to clear Michael's suspicions, yes, he is such a good Samaritan who is honest and kind, and will never frame others.
As soon as he returned to the warehouse, he noticed that Vera's mood seemed to be something wrong, and as a considerate older boy, he took the initiative to ask about it.
"Doesn't look like you're feeling well?", he walked over to Vera with a glass of hot milk and placed it on the table in front of her, "You may not be used to drinking hot milk, but trust me, it's good for you." ”
Vera said thank you and took a sip of the hot milk, which was a rare experience for her, considering that in the Baylor Federation and the whole world, people are not in the habit of drinking heated liquids, even if the girls are lying on the delivery bed, they will gulp some cold drinks soaked in ice.
When the first sip of hot milk entered Vera's mouth with a strong milky aroma, she was a little surprised by the heat that was slightly higher than her body temperature and spread throughout her body as the milk slid into her stomach.
She never thought that hot milk would taste so good, more fragrant and more comfortable than refrigerated or room temperature.
"Thank you!", she put down her cup and thanked again, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, I'm just ...... Will you leave me alone for a while?"
Lynch shrugged his shoulders and walked away from him, "Of course, but call me if you need to, anything!"
The two looked at each other and Lynch left happily, and Vera's face showed a sadness that she didn't even realize.
She went back last night to find her husband drunk again, and he always came back drunk these days, Vera could understand that now was an opportunity, and once Gap got permission from the management to become a partner in the company, the status of the whole family would change as a result.
She is very considerate of her husband, and she feels very sorry for him, she has to drink so much wine every day, which is not good for her health at all, but she can't persuade him, Gap is a machismo, and she is still the head of the family, she can't convince him.
Just last night, when she was changing her husband's pajamas as usual when he was asleep on the bed, she accidentally noticed several lipstick marks on his buttocks.
In that instant, a bolt of lightning tore her heart, and she almost couldn't breathe.
She never thought that she would face such a day, she would not be as naïve as the child who was explaining the situation in the police station, naïve to think that it was just a "joke" between colleagues.
The pants are all off, and this is no longer a joke.
She blankly changed Gap's clothes and erased the evidence as if she had made a mistake, and although she pretended to be the same as usual, her mind was already in turmoil.
She needs to be calm, she needs distance, she came here very early today, the whole person seems to be in despair, and her soul is about to freeze.
She subconsciously picked up the hot milk and took a sip, the heat brought by the milk gave her body a trace of temperature, and also made her more comfortable, she didn't know what to do, her brain was very messy.
Divorce?
Even if she was able to leave Gap, Gap would not allow her to do so, this is a hypocritical society, people don't actually care about the situation of the family, but always take the harmony of the family as one of the criteria for measuring a successful person.
From the management of the company to the president of this federation, they are constantly declaring the value and role of the family to themselves and to society.
It's Gap's ascent, he won't agree, and even if he does, what about the kid?
Doubt is the cancer of trust, once the seeds of doubt are planted, all trust will begin to crumble, and every time Gap worked overtime and went out before, it seemed to have become an excuse for cheating in Vera's heart at this time.
Even she felt that her marriage was a scam!
It's going to collapse, the sky is going to fall!
The more pessimistic people are, the easier it is to imagine things as extraordinarily bad, Vera quickly drank the hot milk in her hand, the heat emitted in her body gradually cooled, and there was no new heat source added, and her breathing became sharp.
Straighten up with every breath, as if she was drowning, suffocating.
Her vision dimmed, and she wanted to call for help, but her instincts gave her a signal that she was actually wrong, and that if she opened her mouth, she would be flooded.
At this moment of despair, a warmth appeared in her arms from nowhere, and the whole dim world gradually faded, and she even heard someone talking beside her.
