Chapter 45: Black Widow (Follow-up!) )
"I'm sorry, Ryder."
Hanging up the phone, Luo Ann tilted his head and handed Ryder an apologetic look, shaking his phone:
"I'm afraid it won't work tonight, there is something temporary, how about next time? I will definitely go next time! ”
“OK!”
Ryder didn't care, grinning and began to dance with Roan about throwing things.
Seeing that Luo An's business cards, photos, and pens were easily poked into the folder, Ryder repeatedly begged Luo An to teach him this trick after shouting.
“Why?”
Luo An agreed, but still didn't understand.
Ryder was married, and he hadn't heard from Lacey that Ryder liked to hang out behind his wife's back, so why should he learn this thing that seems to be used to pick up girls.
And if you want to use it in actual combat, it is impossible to do it for a year and a half, so it is better to shoot more guns and practice marksmanship.
Hearing Luo An's question, Ryder's face froze, and he looked back at Lacey, who was sleeping on the table, and Mona, who was struggling with the computer, and saw that neither of them paid attention to this side, so he whispered in Luo An's ear:
"My wife's favorite thing to do every weekend is to play games with me. I can't beat her except for martial arts, which is no match for me, and I can't beat her with marksmanship or anything else, so I want to practice my throwing skills and come back and win her again! ”
"Well, take the liberty of asking, who is your wife?"
"Texas!"
“......”
Tilting his head to glance at Ryder, whose face was full of red light and his eyes were full of hope, Luo An fell silent for a moment.
I remembered the scene where I had been doing push-ups at the back of the office area when I saw that Ryder had no work assignments since I joined Investigation Team Five.
I thought Ryder was trying to build the muscles on his body and keep in shape.
Now it seems that I am afraid that Ryder lost the game, his wife did not let him go to bed, and his energy was not released, so he had to do push-ups every day.
The life of a man after marriage.
Luo An shook his head in his heart, raised his hand and patted Ryder's shoulder heavily, with a solemn face:
"Don't worry, Ryder, I'll teach you a quick way to go back, it's still a bit difficult to kill the enemy, but it's farther than whoever throws it, and the damage is higher than whoever throws the item, you definitely can't lose!"
Ryder's lips trembled with excitement:
"Roan! From today onwards, you will be a good brother for my life! ”
Ann: "......"
What does this make a man look like?
After chatting with Ryder for a while, it was soon half past five in the afternoon, which was the time when the FBI left work.
"See you tomorrow, Roan!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After saying hello to a few detectives, Roan walked to the parking lot with Mona, Ryder, and Lacey, and then found that his car was gone!
"Wait a minute, Roan."
Seeing the shocked expression on Luo An's face, Lacey was a little speechless, and finally Mona said:
"Luo An, the car you drove in the past two days is the bus of our No. 5 investigation team, not your own car. There was no task today, and the bus was naturally picked up and cleaned up by Augustus. ”
“......”
I still want to never buy a car in my life, and prostitute the FBI's SUV for nothing!
Luo An rolled his eyes, fiercely disdained Augustus, who was slamming the door, refused Ryder's invitation, and turned to sit in the co-pilot of Lacey's sedan.
"Take me to the 'Flame Queen' bar, thank you."
"You...... Are you sure? ”
Seeing Lacey's frowning expression, Luo An was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously:
"What, what's wrong?"
"Did Lydia ask you to go?"
"That's right."
Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey took a deep breath, turned around and said to him solemnly:
"Roan, I'm giving you a piece of advice as a friend and teammate, you'd better not have a long-term relationship with Lydia, OK?"
Seeing that the expression on Lacey's face was so solemn and serious, Juan's heart sank suddenly, he didn't take Glock 18 in the arsenal after work today, if Lydia plotted against him...... Why don't you buy a gun in a moment?
Seeing that Luo An was listening carefully to her words, Lacey breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain:
"Lydia is a 30-year-old woman, but she has been married four times. The times were Lydia's 22, 24, 26, and 28. And every time she got married, her husband died within a year.
After her husband's death, she will not have sex with anyone until she finds her next husband. ”
“W T F?”
Luo An'an's hair stood on end, and his scalp exploded:
"You mean, Lydia uses marriage to get her husband's property, and then kills her husband after marriage!
...... A Black Widow? ”
This kind of thing Luo An has never heard of in his previous life, for the sake of money, those women are more unscrupulous than men, and marriage is also one of the means.
Hearing Luo An's words, Lacey was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook her head and said:
"No, Lydia did not gain property by killing her husband, on the contrary, after each death of her husband, Lydia's own fortune fell by a great margin.
At the age of 22, Lydia inherited a chain of bars from her father, but after the death of several husbands, she contributed a lot of money to appease her husband's parents, and now she is only a 'flame queen'. ”
"Huh?"
Luo An's face was stunned when he heard Lacey's words, could it be that Lydia was the one who was targeted?
But no, those husbands are all dead, and they haven't spent the money they got, so selfless for their families?
"It has nothing to do with money, Roan."
Thinking of what Luo An said just now, and seeing the expression on Luo An's face again, Lacey guessed his thoughts, so she shook her head directly and said:
"It's Lydia's own problem."
Taking a deep breath, Roan became interested in this matter:
"Please elaborate."
"After the death of several husbands, we in the FBI also suspected that Lydia had poisoned her husband, so without Lydia's knowledge, we privately signed an agreement with her husband's family to conduct autopsies on several of her husbands."
Speaking of this, Lacey's face was a little unnatural, but after taking a deep breath, she continued:
"After forensic examination, there were no toxins in the bodies of those husbands, and there were no traces of abuse and beating, and the cause of death was also very simple - despermation and bleeding from the lower body, kidney failure, and sudden death of the heart during intense exercise."
Ann: "......"
In other words, these husbands were overindulged and exhausted in bed?
At this time, Luo An suddenly remembered his hideous face when he got up this afternoon, and his sore lower back...... Shocked.
Yes, he just noticed that Roan Greenwood had played games with women before, and his body had never hurt like this.
And there is no lack of exercise on weekdays, so it stands to reason that it is impossible to be so empty.
The reason for the soreness in the back is obviously not himself, but Lydia.
"So, Roan, I hope you don't go to Lydia."
Seeing Luo An bow his head in contemplation, his face flickering brightly and darkly, Racy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Pretty girls are everywhere in New York, so I'll give you a few more business cards tonight."
"No, I'm going to find Lydia."
After a long groan, Luo An looked at the system page and had some thoughts in his heart, so his eyes flashed, he rejected Lacey's kindness, and said categorically:
"I'm going to get to the bottom of it."
It was clear that Lydia was here for herself this time.
Whatever the other side's intentions, fleeing without a fight is not a good countermeasure.
