11. Born fearless
The old mayor has black bags under his eyes, and it looks like he has recently stayed up late to read "Sherlock Holmes".
Catching a glimpse of two women beside Kerry's bedside, the old mayor noticed that there were others in the room.
"Who are the two?" The old mayor looked at Kerry suspiciously.
Alice and Isabella Doon looked at Kerry at the same time, expecting Kerry's reply.
Kerry's face was not shocked, and he politely greeted the eighteenth generation of the old town mayor's ancestors from the bottom of his heart.
Two lives as a human being, Kerry runs Tai Chi Shengong: "What is the mayor doing so early?" ”
"Didn't I tell you about the publication of Sherlock Holmes before?" The old mayor was a little excited, took out his mobile phone and shook it: "I mailed the book to him and read it, and called him this morning, and the old thing agreed to print a batch to test the water first." ”
Kerry didn't expect the old mayor to be so concerned about the matter of "Sherlock Holmes", and he was even more anxious than himself.
"Oh? What about copyright ownership? Kerry pulled a tissue from the table and wiped his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Alice couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Kerry's reaction, he walked and left the ward with the wind.
Kerry didn't know why Alice had given up on playing with Isabella, but the room didn't smell of gunpowder.
"Don't worry about copyright." The old mayor shook his head: "Fax the contract at noon, and I will ask the assistant to bring it to you at that time." ”
"Okay." Kerry nodded, Isabella's face was cloudy, and she had anger in her heart, but the old mayor was here, and it was not easy to have a seizure.
Kerry longed for the old mayor to stay here for a while, but the old mayor was already alive, how could he not see the anger in Isabella's heart, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Seeing the old mayor leave, Isabella, who was originally calm, instantly changed her face.
"Huh, looks like Alice's bento tastes good?" Isabella stared at Kerry with a cold face, and at the same time a little angry.
Not only do I have to juggle my studies this week, but I also have to prepare three meals a day for Kerry.
The food at the town hospital was poor, and Kerry needed nutrition, so Isabella even squeezed out her pocket money to buy some beef and other supplements.
"I thought it was a bento you made." Kerry shook his head: "She's good to me because of Doon's case, don't think about it." ”
It was then that Isabella thought about the recent mysterious death of Dr. Doon.
This incident has a lot of implications. It stands to reason that the exact cause of Doon's death should be announced, but the town police are secretive and only say that he was injured by a wild beast.
Doon's death also saddened many middle-aged women in the town.
Isabella nodded slightly, thinking about it, but she could explain why Alice was so good to Kerry.
"But is there really something else going on in Dr. Doon's death?" Isabella looked at Kerry with some curiosity: "I also asked my father before, but he didn't say a word. ”
This frustrated Isabella a little, as if a fog was surrounding her, making her unable to see the truth of the matter, while the people around her who knew some clues were hiding it from her.
Although she also has her own speculations, it is always better for others to know the truth and be straightforward.
"It's really hard to tell you about this." Kerry shook his head with a wry smile, indicating that he had made an agreement with the sheriff.
"Then you don't have to say, I guess for myself, okay?" Isabella walked slowly to Kerry's side with her hands behind her back.
Today, she was wearing a low-latitude top, and at the moment she was slightly pressed towards Kerry, but she could see the outline of the two even snow-capped mountains inside.
"Hehe, that's in line with the rules." Kerry's eyes swept wildly, then he withdrew his gaze, his eyes playful.
"Doon, it's the Bloodline, right?" Isabella blinked slightly, her eyes fixed on Kerry.
Kerry couldn't help but smile wryly: "Indeed, it seems that I can't hide it from you." ”
Isabella's eyes flashed with joy, but she quickly suppressed the joy, and at the same time raised her head slightly and said, "I had a guess after you told me that you were a witcher, but I didn't expect the blood clan to really exist. ”
"yes." Kerry couldn't help but admire: "It's really Isabella." ”
"Don't disturb your rest, I still have to go to school." Isabella smiled and waved her hand while giving Kerry a kiss on the forehead and turned to leave the room.
"Click."
The door to the ward was closed.
Kerry, who was originally smiling, regained his composure, and a pair of ancient wells looked at Isabella who was driving away downstairs.
"Huh." The corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, Kerry's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, this woman was using herself as a pedal.
However, in the previous life, the ancestors played a conspiracy for thousands of years, and Kerry had many things without a teacher.
Isabella is an ordinary person, and there are no points for killing.
It's better to wait for some time until her plan succeeds, and if she awakens a powerful force, she can double the points of killing.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Kerry's eyes, and he shook his head again.
His strength is still too weak, and he has to deal with this kind of goods.
Picking up the bento on the table, Kerry slowly opened it, although Alice's bento was good, but since killing Doon, the amount of food has also increased.
Kerry put down his knife and fork, his fingers tapped lightly on the folding table, and at the same time, his eyes flashed, and the next plan should also be on the agenda.
Kerry pulled out his phone and flipped to Baker's phone.
Last night promised Alice to find out the whereabouts of old John, Baker, as a good old man in the police department, should know something.
It's just a matter of using some trickery to get him to speak.
"Toot toot."
There were a few busy tones on the other end of the phone, followed by Baker's lazy voice.
"Hey."
This guy should be sleeping in.
Last night was Baker worthy of the night shift, and according to the rules he had a day off.
"It's me, Kerry." Kerry's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Baker immediately thought of Alice and the Bloodline, and immediately came to his senses.
"I'd like to ask where old John is." Kerry lowered his voice: "I heard Alice say that the group of men in black who attacked me before also received the news and are looking for Old John's hiding place. ”
"Is that true?" Baker "Teng" stood up.
This matter concerns Old John, who is the only one in this incident who has had close contact with the strange man in black and has not been killed.
Moreover, if what Kerry said is true, then he is one step closer to the position of detective.
This credit is enough for him to become a full-fledged police detective, and possibly even a sheriff like Charlie.
"Of course, how could I lie to you." Kerry spoke in a displeasing tone.
"Last night Alice told me that she had written down the breath on the shuriken, and when she brought me a bento this morning, she mentioned it again, saying that she sensed that the breath appeared nearby, and seemed to be looking for something."
"Are you better, let's be together." Baker picked up the holster and pinned it to his body: "By the way, call Alice." ”
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the hospital." Kerry hung up the phone, then called Alice again and asked her to come to the hospital to meet her.
Alice quickly arrived at the hospital.
"Baker agreed?" Alice glanced at Kerry.
"A little trick." Kerry smirked and approached Alice in passing: "Is it some reward?" ”
"Oh?" Alice looked up at Kerry, the difference in height between the two was a head, and only Kerry's neck could be seen at eye level.
"What reward do you want?" As she spoke, Alice licked her moist red lips and slumped her shoulders slightly, not knowing what fabric this dress was, but she just moved slightly, revealing her smooth and fragrant shoulders.
As she spoke, Alice walked slowly towards Kerry, and the scent of jasmine wafted towards Kerry.
The royal sister's cold temperament suddenly took the enchanting route, Kerry couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the hundred-year-old blood clan had made a move, and he couldn't control it a little.
Little Kerry awoke from his deep sleep, stretched his body hard, and fully expanded, only to find that a mountain was blocking his path.
Alice scoffed, then looked up at Kerry.
Kerry, who had always shown that he had won the game, blushed at the moment, and the whole person began to say things like misunderstandings.
This embarrassment is rare in Kerry, and the innocent boyish performance once again ignites Alice's interest in playing tricks on Kerry.
"Misunderstanding what?" Alice asked, looking down at little Kerry.
The index finger gently grabbed the collar, and Alice bit her lip lightly, and her fragrant tongue slightly against the teeth.
"It's not a row." It's so good that Kerry can't stand it.
Tires screeched against the asphalt, and an old police car, the Raptor, flicked its tail and approached the hospital gate smoothly.
The windows were slowly lowered, and Baker was wearing sunglasses and motioned for the two to get into the car.
Alice stopped and walked over to Kerry to block Baker's view.
"Let's go." Alice snorted coldly, and her tone contained a lot of emotion, seven points of disdain for someone's timidity and three points of disappointment.
The two sat in the back row.
Baker motioned for the two to buckle up.
Ignition shifts and steps on the accelerator, and the old police car is stunned by the feeling of being driven out of the sports car.
Like a gust of wind, the police car rushed out of town and headed north.
It was another town, Kerry remembers.
The police car drove smoothly.
There was an eerie silence in the car.
Alice's eyes flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Kerry clutched his stomach.
Because of his previous embarrassment, he was a little ashamed.
There was an eerie silence in the car.
"Ahem." Baker couldn't stand the atmosphere: "I said that when the time comes, you should go and see the situation first, don't be impulsive." ”
This is actually said to Alice, Kerry is powerless, and as a blood clan, Alice's combat effectiveness is not weak.
Baker was afraid that Alice would be impulsive and that bad things would happen.
Kerry nodded in agreement, and at the same time glanced at Baker in the rearview mirror, signaling that he should not worry, he would be looking at Alice.
Baker thought of Kerry's ambiguous relationship with Alice, and he was relieved.
The car sped down the highway, and after checking the toll booth, Baker turned around and drove into a gloomy alley.
After getting out of the car, Kerry and Alice followed Baker into the alley, then turned left and right, and the three of them came to a small room at some point.
"Da-da-da-da." Baker walked up and struck three rhythmic sounds.
A pair of eyes appeared at the door, staring at Baker and saying, "Password! ”
"It's really a fart off your pants." Baker muttered, then "hamburger." ”
The door opened.
A middle-aged policeman with a beer belly glanced at the three of them and got out of the way.
It was a narrow hallway, and Kerry could deduce what it used to be when he glanced at it.
There are brown blood stains on the walls, and there are many of them, and the road surface is potholed, indicating the age.
In the few years after thinking of the founding of Meimeijian, this place should have been established during the north-south game, either for interrogation, or for skinning Xiao Ni's brothers.
Alice sniffed, then smiled slightly, her eyes full of mockery.
