Christmas.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky of New York, and the streets were jammed with cars, ticking their horns to urge the vehicles ahead, expressing the owner's eagerness to go home and spend Christmas with his family.

Inside, three men were drinking around the fireplace, and in front of them, a sumptuous meal was arranged.

"Ray, what's next?"

Brooklyn asked, sitting on the floor, half-leaning back on the couch.

Ray came back on the 24th, and after learning that Ray was back, Brooklyn consulted with David and decided to go to David's house for Christmas together.

Like when I was a child, just the three of them.

Unlike Brooklyn, where he still lives in an apartment with such a high income, David has his own house in New York, a three-story detached house with a lawn garden and a pool at the back.

"Nothing to do."

Ray, who was grabbing a chicken leg and gnawing on it, paused and said indifferently.

Ray's image was not what Brooklyn had expected, he didn't look very strong, he had a flat head, and he was half a head taller than Brooklyn.

If he hadn't easily brought the Christmas tree into the house alone, Brooklyn would have doubted Ray's identity.

"David told me before that you're going to a security company?"

Brooklyn refused to let Ray go and pulled David in.

"Hey! Don't pull me! ”

David, who was clumsily struggling with chopsticks, raised his head in protest when he heard his name mentioned, and then lowered his head and continued to clip a piece of braised pork.

Brooklyn's eyes twitched as he looked at David's clumsiness, and he really couldn't understand why the chopsticks were made of plastic and metal.

Doesn't that make it more difficult to use!

"Well, I've already dropped in the mailbox, and I'm going to check it out after the Christmas break."

Compared with David's Sven, Ray expressed the style of the army vividly in eating, and he knew early on that he would not be able to master the chopsticks in a short period of time, so he simply grabbed them directly with his hands.

That's a lot faster than David.

"This time you have offended the military to death, and they don't know the relationship between those security companies and the military, are you sure you want to go?"

Speaking of this, David also raised his head, he simply stuck the piece of braised pork with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth like a mouthful, chewed and swallowed it viciously, and spoke

"Brooklyn was right."

"I think you should listen to Brooklyn, who was the smartest of us from a young age."

David stretched out his finger and pointed to himself and Ray, "I'll be a police officer, and I'll join the army with you, it's all Brooklyn's choice for us." ”

Ray spat out the chicken bones, grabbed the wings and nibbled on them, and looked at Brooklyn.

"I'm still missing a judge's assistant here, you can come and try it."

Brooklyn was straight to his purpose.

Thunder paused as he gnawed his wings, but did not answer.

"It's too dangerous in the security company, Ray, and no one can be sure what the relationship between the one you chose is with the military."

Brooklyn put down the beer bottle and said seriously

"This time you just shake out what they did over there, and they can't let you go."

"When the news goes down, they'll definitely do it to you. It's too late to hide, and you have to take the initiative to send it to the door yourself? ”

"The security company, just assign you a dangerous mission, if it doesn't work once, twice, and if it doesn't work twice, three times...... You're not the main character of the movie, something will happen someday. ”

Ray spat out his half-gnawed chicken wings and asked hesitantly

"But I don't know anything about your set, you know that I have the most trouble reading."

"And according to you, isn't it dangerous to stay with me?"

Before Brooklyn could speak, David cried out in dissatisfaction.

"Hey! Man, what are you talking about! ”

"We're the ones who threw you out for fear of danger?"

Brooklyn nodded and pointed to the fireplace, "Ray, if you say that again, David and I will throw you into the fireplace." ”

"That's right!" David continued, "I'm from the murder team, he's the judge, we hit it off!" Throw you in the fireplace! With that, he gave Brooklyn a high-five.

Ray hurriedly raised his hand in surrender: "I surrender!" I give up! ”

"Surrender and drink it all!"

Brooklyn handed over a freshly opened bottle of wine and smiled.

"That's right! Drink it up! ”

David heckled.

Ray looked left and right, and helplessly raised his head and drank it.

David was yelling excitedly, whistling and screaming like a high school student at a party.

Ray drank a bottle of beer in one gulp, and Brooklyn explained with a smile

"I'm a judge, I'm part of the judiciary, I'm not under the jurisdiction of the military, and I'm safe by my side."

"Of course, I need your protection too."

"David knows how 'wonderful' I've been this year"

David seemed to have really drunk too much, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his hand and told Selena's suicide case and the Red Devil imitation murder case as it was.

Seeing Ray's worried face, Brooklyn immediately added, "After Selena's death, I haven't chosen an assistant ......"

"Brooklyn is so scared that he hasn't played cards for more than half a year, haha!"

David added with a red face, pointing at Brooklyn and laughing.

"You think about it first, this matter is not very urgent."

Seeing that Ray was hesitating, Brooklyn said at the right time.

It could be seen that Ray was worried about his safety, but he seemed to have something unspeakable and still didn't immediately agree.

This was completely different from what Brooklyn had expected, and Brooklyn duly stopped the topic.

As it has been said, it will not be good to press the thunder tightly.

Then the three of them talked about their plans for the Christmas holidays.

Being a judge is an intense and idle job, and the tasks of judges during the working day are heavy, but judges have all the holidays they deserve.

"I can't leave. I've got a bunch of cases waiting there. ”

Talking about the holidays, David complained dissatisfiedly

"The case on Staten Island has been pending for half a year, and two more deceased people have recently appeared. Hey, aren't these murderers just Christmas? ”

The Staten Island case mentioned by David was also heard in Brooklyn, where a college teacher fell from a building and fell into a pool. At first, it was thought to be a suicide, but as the investigation deepened, the police found that the teacher had no reason to commit suicide at all.

Life is ordinary, there are no twists and turns in the relationship, the bank account credit is good, the family members are all alive, and the teacher himself has no psychological counseling record.

How can a person who has not had any changes in his life suddenly commit suicide?

The case has not yet been solved, and in November, two more teachers at the teacher's university committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The police did not find a single clue.

As soon as David finished complaining, his cell phone rang.

"Boss, there are students at Baruch College of the City University of New York who committed suicide."

David's wine immediately sobered up most of the time.

"Or jumping off the building?"

He staggered to his feet and asked as he went to get his clothes.

Brooklyn and Ray also stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Yes, a total of five students, committed mass suicide."
