North American Detective: I Am Proficient In All Kinds of American IAI

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.

Mas?

Hearing this name, a bright smiling face and a past that was almost forgotten immediately appeared in Dean's mind.

To be precise, this is the predecessor.

Masi 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 had indeed heard from Mars that he had a younger sister named Nell, and that he wanted to match them up at the beginning, just because Mars's sister had been studying in England since she was a child.

So the two 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 if he had the opportunity, he would help investigate his father's affairs.

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 had a vague sense 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's not 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 for the last time." Dean's face was not sad, but his voice was much lower.

He is just a counterfeit with the memory of his previous life, and it is really difficult to empathize with the death of his former friend.

Neil 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 go on anymore, and on the other end of the phone, she burst into tears.

Autopsy means that the dead will be dissected and mutilated.

This kind of behavior can easily make the sad family members feel even more uncomfortable, but this is another part of collecting evidence that must be done.

Dean pursed his lips and said nothing.

After Neil's crying subsided, he said, "I'm very 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 doesn't stop.

I inherited my predecessor's body, and there are some things that I can't avoid.

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 puts the call to 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 my His horsewhip, I came to find you in person!"

Dean: "."

This mother seems a bit stubborn.

"Mom, it's like this."

Dean told Sheila about Marth's situation.

"Oh, my god, 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. If necessary, I can take the car Lend it to 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.

"Go away. 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 kinship, no love, no friendship, 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 was gone the moment Sheila came over.

Dean put the sliced ​​fried bacon in his mouth, started the car, and smiled unconsciously.

Someone cares, that's great!

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 a lot of tourists, and there are many resort hotels and casinos around it.

to this place.

Dean's first impression was that it was hot.

The sun was shining brightly overhead, and the people on the street wore cool clothes and rode bicycles very leisurely.

While he was looking around, a sweet-looking brown-haired girl in a t-shirt walked up to Dean: "Dean?"

Seeing the red and swollen eyes, Dean immediately realized that it 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 heart-wrenching feeling.

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."

A mention of Mars.

Neil's eyes couldn't stop misting up, and she hugged Dean tightly, as if 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, Nell, he takes care of it!

For a while.

Neil 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 treats me very well."

"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 Las Vegas has a lot of tourists and is in the desert, the residential area is located outside the scenic area, and there are many bungalows, which are relatively round.

Under the guidance of Neil.

Dean turned and turned, and finally stopped in front of a two-story villa.

The things and letters Mas left him are here.
