I don't know if it's because the customs on the East Coast are different from those on the West Coast, or if the weddings Jack attended before were either the kind where the bride was in a hurry with the ball, or the two women wore wedding dresses together, which might not be so traditional.

In short, whether the bride and groom slept together the day before the wedding did not seem to have much to do with the case, and seeing that the groom's re-questioning was still nothing, and the time was not early, Beckett was ready to go back to the police station to sort out the timeline of the case.

Jack was also going home, after all, the case had nothing to do with him, and of course he could take over the victim on the grounds that he was from another state, but it was obviously not necessary at the moment.

The two wandered around the sixth floor of the hotel and couldn't find Cassel, and it was a little strange that Beckett was about to take out his mobile phone to call the goods, but Jack raised his hand to stop him and brought him to the door of the banquet hall.

He put a finger to his lips and gave a soft shout, and Beckett understood, carefully pushing the door open a gap and peeking inside.

Cassel is in the middle of the banquet hall, which is the original wedding scene, and is secretly eating the wedding cake with the bride Kayla who is hiding here.

Beckett frowned, and was about to push the door in, but was stopped again, and Jack leaned into her ear and whispered to her in an inaudible voice, "Don't you want to know a little about Cassel and her history?" After all, this girl looks different from this guy's first two wives. ”

Jack didn't say anything different, although he and Cassel did know each other very well now, but in some things, Beckett, who had been with him almost every day during this time, should know better, after all, someone has always had a big mouth and never minded talking about his past with others.

Beckett's eyes wandered, and he bit his lip without squeaking, but his body honestly pressed his ear to the crack in the door.

"If everything goes according to plan today, then at this moment, I should be here, dancing with my husband."

"Do you remember the last time we danced together?"

"Of course, it's right under the big clock at the central station."

"You're getting ready to go to the airport to catch a flight to London."

"You should have gone with me."

Will these screenwriters just copy Nicolas Cage's "Family Man" to death? Although it sounds romantic, the strong sense of immediacy in this dialogue makes Jack a little ridiculous.

His sneer drew Beckett's glare, as annoying as the guy who munched on popcorn in the movie theater.

Jack raised his hands in tears and laughed to indicate that he was wrong, and he didn't know who was the person who wanted to push the door in and spoil the scenery without hesitation.

The conversation in the banquet hall continued, and Kayla's voice took on a hint of resentment, "You should have gone with me." ”

Kassel looked innocent, "You said you needed some space." ”

Kayla sighed, her resentment adding to the suddenness, "But I don't mean forever. ”

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Cassel opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say anything.

Kayla looked around, the arrangement of the wedding scene and the dislocation of the fantasy past time pulled her back to reality, time is the best healing medicine, and she has long been relieved.

She lowered her head and pressed the bridge of her nose hard, stopping something that seemed to be about to erupt, and gave an awkward smile as she tried to change the subject.

"Anyway, you've already been there, haven't you?"

She said that it was a wedding, and Cassel did not shy away from replying, "Twice." ”

Kayla walked up to him and asked seriously, "So, every time you feel like you've found your true destiny, right?" ”

Jack's heart was suddenly alarmed, the topic did not change successfully, what is the bride going to ask next?

Kassel pondered his words for a long time before he replied cautiously, "At least at that time, I thought I had made the right choice." ”

Sure enough, Kayla stepped forward again, almost clinging to Cassel, looking up at him, breathing audibly between the two, "But it turned out to be the opposite, right?" ”

Kassel was speechless for a moment, and Kayla's eyes became a little hot as she stared at him, "You know that some girls may think that what happened today is an omen. ”

"Do you mean murder?" Someone started to play dumb, at least that's what Jack, who was peeping on the sidelines, thought, and the old driver of Kassel couldn't have understood the hidden meaning of the words.

The murder case is a fart, and the sudden appearance of the ex-boyfriend who is not in love is called an omen, otherwise why every time the wedding officiant announces that the two have become husband and wife, he has to ask if there is anyone present who opposes or something?

"And your presence, Rick." Kayla looked at Cassel infatuatedly, her eyes gradually drawing.

Tsk, it's dying, seeing the heads of the two men getting closer and closer, Jack looked at Beckett, who was still looking through the crack in the door, the fingernails that were holding the doorknob were already white.

I really owe you both, Jack sighed inwardly, and stumbled under his feet and hit Beckett on the shoulder.

The female detective was caught off guard and was directly knocked into the banquet hall by him, "No thanks" Jack didn't make a sound, but said this sentence with his mouth to Beckett, who was glaring at him.

Beckett gritted his teeth secretly, barely made a breezy expression, and turned back to the shocked couple in the center of the banquet hall as if nothing happened, and said, "Cassel, we're leaving, do you want a ride?" ”

Kayla showed a hint of panic on her face, her eyes wandered between the two for a moment, and she lowered her head slightly, seemingly tidying up her wedding dress, but in fact sorting out her mood, "I should go back too, they might be looking for me now." ”

Seeing her leave in a hurry with her wedding dress, Cassel stared at her back for a long time, and just withdrew her gaze when she collided with Beckett's gaze again.

Hesitation, unwillingness, regret, relief, for a moment, Beckett felt like he had never read so many different expressions on a man's face.

Beckett looked at Cassel like this, until the guy regained his innocent face and raised the cake saucer in his hand to her, "Would you like to have some?" ”

"No thanks." Beckett turned around and left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, until he saw Jack with a playful expression, and couldn't help but glare at him viciously.

"What's wrong with you two?" Cassel looked puzzled as he passed by Jack.

"It's okay, Detective Beck may be in a hurry to go back, we have been looking for you for a long time just now." Jack rambled casually.

There are too many melons to eat today, and he must show off to Hannah when he goes back at night, she must regret her death and promised to go out shopping with Alexis today.

The hotel elevator descends slowly, and the atmosphere in the elevator is somewhat eeriely silent, and Jack stands in the corner and bows his head to message Hannah about what he has seen and heard today, while pretending to be a passer-by, to get away from the core of the local low-pressure vortex - Beckett and Cassel standing in the middle.

After all, Kassel still couldn't stand the strange atmosphere, and chose to take the initiative to speak, "We met in college and have been together for three years. ”

"I didn't ask you." Beckett replied sourly, and subconsciously glanced at Jack in the corner, and saw him head down and type on his phone pretending not to hear anything, so he retracted his gaze with satisfaction.

"You asked, but you didn't say anything." Kassel said quietly, he was not stupid, and Beckett's sudden intrusion interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere at that time, and at the same time prevented things from going in the direction of betrayal.

Although Lao Mei is indeed infinitely elevated in terms of personal freedom, this kind of thing is still considered immoral, even if he does not take the initiative.

"I just don't think she's the same as your ex-wife." Beckett regretted it as soon as she spoke, for she had heard it from someone not long ago, though it was the same as she had in her own mind.

Sure enough, as soon as she looked up, she saw Jack with his pupils shaken, half-open his mouth and looking like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to say it, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.

"What do you mean?" Cassel didn't notice Jack's expression next to him, and looked directly at the female detective next to him.

Beckett stammered a little, "I mean, what I'm trying to say is that she looks like a very real girl, I thought you didn't like that, and it hurt to break up with her." ”

Cassel opened his mouth, as if the question brought back some not-so-good memories hidden in his heart, and he was not too reluctant to answer the question, but he eventually responded, "It's been a long time anyway." ”
