Ethan smiled and asked seriously, "Why are you pretending not to know me?" ”

"Look at me." Miranda's eyes wandered and she gestured to herself:

"You won't fail to tell, a branch girl."

"Why do you say I pretend I don't know you?"

This rhetorical question left Ethan speechless, and at this time, the waiter brought over what they wanted.

Ethan picked up his coffee cup: "I'm sorry. ”

"I saw you a few days ago, but when I went to look for you, you disappeared again."

"Actually, I've been looking for you in Chinatown for the past few days."

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

"Why?" Miranda's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, she grabbed the sandwich and took a big bite, and said indistinctly:

"You don't owe me anything."

Ethan took a sip of coffee and put the cup down: "You don't have to owe each other to help each other." ”

"We used to be comrades-in-arms, weren't we?"

"Speaking of comrades-in-arms." Miranda raised her head and met his gaze, "So, Officer Morgan, did you do what you promised me?" ”

For a moment, Ethan was in a trance.

He felt like he had gone back to a few months ago, at the highway intersection in Banshee Town.

Miranda waved her arms at him and shouted loudly to get him to promise to take Procott down.

"Yes." Ethan nodded heavily:

"What I promised you has been done, Procott is dead."

"That's good."

Miranda's eyes flushed: "This is the best news I've heard in my time." ”

After speaking, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

She covered her mouth with her hands, her shoulders shaking, and her whole body sobbed.

This crying voice caught the attention of the waiter.

The waiter hurriedly walked up to Burgess and Atwater, who were wearing police uniforms, and whispered, "Officer, something happened over there." ”

"The woman was crying, something was wrong."

The two people who were eating hamburgers hurriedly put down the food in their hands and nervously looked in the direction pointed by the waiter.

When I saw the person sitting in the corner, I was immediately relieved.

"It's fine."

Burgess said to the waiter, "That's a detective from our bureau. ”

"That's good."

The waiter patted his chest, turned and walked into the back kitchen.

"Monkey Richet."

The moment Atwater saw Ethan, he quickly turned his head back.

He touched Burgess with his elbow: "This is big news, Detective Morgan is now the most mysterious guy in our bureau, and his personal situation is basically unknown to many people." ”

"That's right."

Burgess's eyes also lit up, and he bit his lip excitedly: "Guess, the woman opposite will be his girlfriend?" ”

"Who knows." Atwater clubbed her again:

"Whisper, listen carefully."

Burgess nodded hurriedly and tilted his ear to the side.

Facing the crying Miranda, Ethan didn't know what to say, so he had to sit quietly.

After a while, Miranda finally stopped sobbing.

Ethan hurriedly pulled out a few tissues and reached out to hand them over: "Here you go, I'm sorry, I didn't know Procott caused you so much harm." ”

"Thank you."

Miranda's eyeshadow has been pasted off, and dark circles are more noticeable.

She forced a smile and said, "Don't say anything sorry, you've already avenged me, haven't you?" ”

"That's right."

Ethan reached out and patted the back of her hand, "You should be happy when you think of this." ”

Miranda didn't look happy at all, and the light in her eyes was even darker:

"Can I call you Ethan?"

"Absolutely."

"So Ethan, after drinking coffee, will you leave?" Miranda squeezed out a smile: "Continue your journey as if you haven't seen me." ”

"Nope."

Ethan shook his head slowly, his fingers tapping on the table:

"I don't know what you've been through in the last few months, I haven't noticed, I can act as if nothing happened."

"But now that I've seen it, you can't tell me to leave you alone."

Seriously, he and Miranda are not friends.

When she escaped from Banshee Town, Ethan also asked Hood to give her 20,000 dollars, which was not a small amount.

But this is by no means an excuse for him to stand by and watch when Randa is reduced to a street warbler.

"Even if I tell you what's going on."

Randa wiped away her tears and said with a wry smile, "What can you do, this is not Banshee Town." ”

"I'm so satisfied to know that Procott is dead, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have fled to Chicago and ended up where I am now."

After speaking, she thought of something, and tears instantly flowed down.

Maybe it was because she met an acquaintance that she couldn't control her emotions, so she simply lay on the table, her shoulders shaking constantly.

In the face of the woman's tears, he had no solution.

He let out a heavy breath and walked towards the dining table.

The two patrol officers were sitting upright, eating supper seriously.

"Don't pretend."

Ethan slapped Burgess on the shoulder: "You, stay and help." ”

"Okay, detective."

Burgess's body trembled and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth.

"You."

Ethan looked at Atwater: "Tell Pratt to send you another person to patrol quickly." ”

Atwater shrugged at Burgess and reached for his pocket.

"Let's go, I'm in for a treat."

Ethan waved impatiently and beckoned to the waiter: "Bring me a bottle of beer." ”

Atwater smiled and walked briskly outside the restaurant.

"Ugh."

Ethan unscrewed the cap and pointed at Miranda, "I remember you said you were good at calming her emotions and getting her done." ”

Burgess nodded heavily, and quickly straightened his uniform.

She took a few deep breaths and walked briskly to the corner.

By the time Ethan had drunk half of his beer, and didn't know what magic Burgess had cast, Miranda's mood stabilized after a while.

He walked over with the bottle in his hand and sat down in his seat again:

"Miranda, I'm not here to visit Chicago."

Ethan took out his police badge, pressed it on the table and said in a deep voice: "I'm a police detective in Chicago now, no matter what happens to you, trust me, I'll help you solve it." ”

"It's like you once believed me."

Miranda looked at the badge on the table, then at Burgess.

"That's right." Burgess nodded:

"He's a detective at our substation, and he didn't lie to you."

The police uniform on her body made Miranda instantly believe what Ethan said.

"Please."

Miranda's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Ethan: "Help get Danny out." ”

"Danny?"

"Saving people?"

Ethan and Burgess looked at each other, then patted the back of Miranda's hand in turn, "Tell me about it." ”

In Miranda's account, Ethan finally knows what happened to her when she arrived in Chicago.

Arriving in Chicago, Miranda went to her cousin.

Her cousin, who also worked at a strip club in Chicago, went to that club for the sake of familiarity, and did her old job.

Life should have gone on like this until she saved enough money or found a better job.

But her cousin was a lone worm, and when she was messing with the gangsters, she stole a bag of flour from the hands of those people.

On the way home, she met the patrol police, and her cousin panicked and threw her things away.

The matter is exposed, and the gang members come to the door.

In this way, Miranda is forced to stand on the street with her cousin, and her son Danny is also taken away to work as a mule for the transportation of unique products.

In order to better control Miranda, she was also forced to inject the only product and contracted the monopoly.
