MTL - North American Detective: I Am Proficient In All Kinds of American IAI-Chapter 7 The first time I saw your sister, you were my good brother
Chapter 7 The first time I saw your sister, you are my good brother!
Dean looked at the unfamiliar number on the phone, and answered suspiciously: "Hello, this is Dean."
"Hi, Dean, I'm Marth's sister Neal."
On the other end of the phone, there was a crying female voice.
Mass?
Hearing this name, a bright smiling face immediately appeared in Dean's mind, and there was also a past that was almost forgotten.
To be precise, this is the matter of the predecessor.
Mas was a high school classmate of Dean's predecessor, and the relationship between the two was very good. It was not until Dean went to college that the relationship between the two gradually decreased.
Dean did hear from Mars that he had a younger sister named Neil, and he wanted to match them up at the beginning, just because Mars's sister studied in England since she was a child.
So the two have never met.
After graduating from high school, Maas became a private investigator because of the influence of some detective novels.
At the beginning, Mars joked to Dean that he would help investigate his father's affairs if he had the opportunity.
But in fact, the two haven't seen each other for more than two years, and only send text messages to each other during the holidays.
Could it be
Dean vaguely felt that he was going to be in trouble.
"Dean? Are you still there?"
On the other end of the phone, Sister Masi's crying voice continued to be heard.
Dean interrupted the memory: "Yes, Neil, I just remembered the good times when I was studying with Mars. How is he?"
"no, he wasn't well, my brother died two days ago, he was shot"
"... I'm sorry, when will he be buried, I want to say goodbye to him." Dean's face was not sad, but his voice was much lower.
He is just a counterfeit with the memory of his previous life. It is really difficult to empathize with the death of his former friend.
Nile sniffled, choked up and said, "My brother's body is still in the forensics department. They said we need to wait for the autopsy report before we can take him away."
She couldn't speak anymore, and burst into tears on the other end of the phone.
Autopsy means that the dead will be dissected and become mutilated.
This kind of behavior can easily make the sad family members feel more uncomfortable, but this is another part of collecting evidence that must be done.
Dean pursed his lips and did not speak.
When Neil's crying subsided, he said, "I'm sorry for what happened to Mas. Is there anything I can do for you? I want to do something for Mas."
"No, Dean, glad my brother has you as a friend."
Neil calmed down and continued: "Actually, I called you today because when I was packing up my brother's belongings, I found that he left you some things and a letter, but I didn't have time to send it. If you If you have time, you can come and pick it up, or I can mail it to you."
“.”
Dean had a hunch that Marth's death might be related to those things.
Eh.
The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.
I inherited my predecessor's body, and there are some things that I can't hide from.
Dean sighed in his heart: "Neil, is Mas's address still in the original location? Okay, I'll come and get it myself, and I'll go to see Mas by the way."
hang up the phone.
Dean dials Sheila.
Sheila is usually very free, and she answered the phone very quickly: "Dean, let me guess, you called me again, it must be something, you can't come back at night, right? If so, I promise to take me His horsewhip, I came to find you in person!"
Dean: "."
This mother seems a bit bruised.
"Mom, the thing is like this."
Dean told Sheila about Marth's situation.
"Oh, mygod, are you referring to the Mas you used to hang out with in high school? I didn't expect this to happen to him. Okay, baby, I forgive you, I can borrow the car if necessary for you."
“.Can you lend me some more money.”
Dean climbed up the pole, licking his face.
The little cash on his body is not enough for accommodation, and there is not much credit card limit.
"Get out. By the way, where are you now?"
Sheila was fierce on the phone, but really loved Dean.
Not long after the two finished talking, she drove her car to Dean's location, not only left the car keys to Dean, but also brought a fried bacon and a thousand dollars cash.
Dean looked at the back of Sheila leaving, feeling warm in his heart.
Is this family?
very nice!
Dean is essentially loveless.
In his world, there is no family affection, no love, and no friendship. There are only cold tasks and cold money.
When Dean felt a little warmth from Sheila, the memories belonging to his predecessor in his mind became more empathetic.
In his heart, he also began to accept the fact that Sheila was his mother.
That bit of awkwardness disappeared when Sheila came over.
Dean put the sliced fried bacon into his mouth, started the car, and smiled unconsciously.
Someone cares, very good!
Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada, hundreds of kilometers away from Los Angeles, where Dean is located.
Dean left around ten in the morning and arrived after two in the afternoon.
As a relatively "new" city, Las Vegas has very spacious roads and many tourists. There are many resort hotels and casinos around it.
To this place.
Dean's first impression was that it was hot.
The sun is shining brightly above the head, and the people on the street wear cool clothes and ride bicycles very leisurely.
While he was looking around, a sweet-looking brown-haired girl in a t-shirt walked up to Dean: "Dean?"
Dean saw the red and swollen eyes of the other party, and immediately realized that this was Neil.
Neil is petite, with a few freckles dotted on her sweet face, and her red and swollen eyes are full of melancholy, which makes people feel a little pity in their hearts.
Oops, it's a feeling of heartbeat.
Dean quickly opened his hands: "Neil, it's nice to meet you. In fact, Mars is my best brother. I'm sorry that I wasn't by his side when he had an accident."
As soon as Maas is mentioned.
Nile's eyes couldn't stop misting up, and she hugged Dean directly and hugged her tightly, as if in this way, she could feel that her brother was still by her side.
Dean patted Nell on the shoulder lightly.
The moment he saw Neil, he regarded Mars as a real good brother in his heart!
As a brother, Niall, he takes care of it!
It's been a while.
Nile just let go of her hands.
She wiped her eyes with some embarrassment: "Sorry, Dean, I can't help but think of my brother when I see you. Although we haven't been together for a long time, he is very good to me."
"It's okay, Neil, I will be your brother from now on, and it will make me feel better."
Dean waved his hand generously and let Nell get into the car.
Because there are many tourists in Las Vegas and it is located in the desert, the residential area is located outside the scenic area, and there are many bungalows, which are relatively congested.
Under the guidance of Neil.
Dean made several turns and turns, and finally stopped in front of a two-story villa.
The things and letters Maas left him are here.
