The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Richard Cassell is a crime writer.

Writer.

There is an inexplicable common problem, that is, in these people's writings, the heroine may not be powerful, but she must be sexy.

Unfortunately.

Beckett hates people saying she is sexy the most, because Beckett wants to prove that she can be a detective, not by her face, but by her professionalism.

Cassel smiled hehely: "We are best friends, right."

Lake glanced at Cassel: "No help."

Cassel was stunned: "I haven't said anything yet."

Lake smiled: "You went to investigate Beckett's mother's case without authorization?"

Cassel was a little confused: "Did Beckett tell you?"

Lake shook his head: "You are a rich man, please, what else can happen? This is simple reasoning. Great writers, we also rely on reasoning to eat."

Although Lake often likes simplicity and rudeness, there is a certain basis for reasoning.

Moreover.

He had a plug-in. When he went on vacation to Europe, Cassel met Beckett, who asked him to go back to investigate, according to the gears of history.

Counting the time, it has come.

Cassel said: "Okay, I can help..."

"No help."

"..."

"I'm not involved in any emotional issues, and..."

Lake directly chose to refuse, other people's family affairs and emotional problems are personal, Lake hates getting involved, the most important point: "I remember half a month ago, when you came to ask me about Beckett's mother's case, I I said, don't touch it, why don't you listen?"

Spirit Book Wonderful Detective Lake has seen it.

but……

Who is Beckett's mother-killer, Lake really can't remember for a while.

and.

Not only Lake, even George didn't want to help Beckett solve the case, but after getting to know Beckett, Beckett told the two directly, asking them not to interfere, she wanted her own Come to investigate, even if the time is slow, it doesn't matter.

Lake and George respected Beckett and nodded immediately.

after……

Lake and George were not involved in the case.

"This case is a thorn in Beckett's heart."

Lake said to Cassel: "If you really want to help Beckett, apologize to her, the sincere kind, she will choose to forgive you, Beckett is a good woman."

Cassel: "..."

From a personal point of view, it is not easy for Lake to refuse Cassell's request.

but……

The ghost knows if this matter will be brought together because of his meddling. Beckett, who will become a congressman in the future, and her serious literary writer husband Cassel will simply disappear without a trace.

Lake didn't want to take the blame.

Cassel sighed: "Okay, thanks."

Lake smiled and glanced at Cassell: "Trust me, maybe, in the future you will thank me for not interfering in this matter."

Cassel looked at Lake.

Lake pulled the handbrake and unbuckled his seat belt: "I'm here, thank you."

Cassel looked out the window.

Star Building.

……and many more.

Cassel pulled down the car window and yelled at Lake, "Damn, it's an hour away, and you'll be back in less than half an hour. Do you want me to be fined like a comic book?"

The words haven't fallen yet.

A patrol officer who followed all the way behind appeared in front of Cassell with a dark face: "You, suspected of dangerous driving, get out of the car and come with us."

Cassel: "..."

the night of the second day.

In a police bar not far from the Xingchen Building.

Three people are drinking.

lake.

george.

Cassel.

Lake and George clinked glasses and drank them all: "Bourbon in New York is still delicious, bourbon in Washington, that taste is indescribable."

George said, "I've seen the report, congratulations."

Lake said thank you.

Cassel on the side looked a little ugly: "Hey, hey, I'm talking about my problem, can you respect me?"

George raised his hand.

Lake sighed and said to Cassel: "I said it all, don't thank me."

Cassel's mouth twitched: "A fine of two thousand dollars, why should I thank you?"

"Did Beckett go for you?"

"……Yes but……"

"So, no thanks."

"..."

Cassel took a deep breath and looked at Lake thoughtfully, his eyes seemed to be astonished and filled with a sense of disbelief.

Lake shrugged: "You asked me to help you, I helped you, and it only cost two thousand dollars. Believe me, if you let me do it yourself, you will spend more than this."

Cassel was dubious: "Really?"

Lake pointed to George: "If you don't believe me, ask George. Last year, there was a guy like you who wanted to solve that case, but when Beckett found out, he cut off contact with him completely. What's that guy's name?"

George shook his head: "I forgot, too. Later I heard that I was transferred to the country."

"New Jersey?"

"right."

"..."

Daily Milk New Jersey achievement complete.

Lake and George clink glasses again, and Cassell joins in return.

The three drank in one go.

Since Cassell got on Beckett, Cassell, who is also familiar with the police officers, learned that there are certain bars in which you may not see any one in a police uniform, but the number of police officers is occupy the most.

so.

When Beckett had no case, Cassel would go to police bars all over New York to drink and listen to the small stories of the police here to enrich his database.

The three sat on the deck of the bar, drinking and chatting.

Lake felt a rare quietness.

It feels good.

Drinking a little wine with two friends, chatting and bragging.

only……

talking and talking.

Lake's expression changed.

The style of chat seems to be crooked.

Lake came back to his senses, his expression became more and more strange, listening to George and Cassell's adopted daughter's experience and the taboo for his daughter to fall in love, he couldn't help coughing: "Hey, hey, the style of the painting is crooked."

George and Cassel looked at Lake in confusion: "It's crooked, it's not crooked, just chat normally."

Lake was expressionless: "Do you think I can mix in the chat between the two of you?"

damn it.

Is it amazing to have a daughter?

I am not without.

Catherine, female, twelve years old, race, vampire... no, vampire.

only……

It's a daughter, but the race is different, and they can't achieve the same brain waves.

Lake opened his mouth and shook his head: "I can finally take a break. By the way, don't you plan to talk about some topics that I can get involved in?"

This kind of friend is so annoying.

I can't even chat, I might as well go home and drink by myself.

George thought for a while and said to Lake, "Then let's talk about the little loli last time?"

Lake suddenly looked at George speechlessly.

Cassel became interested and asked George, "What's the situation, let's hear it."

Lake interrupted: "Nothing to say."

George didn't care, he directly touched the corners of Skye and Lake, and then told Cassell what happened.

Cassel seemed to think of something and looked at Lake: "That day, an ambulance was parked downstairs?"

Lake rolled his eyes: "The ambulance stops at the building once a month."

Again.

The Xingchen Building is full of millionaires, and considering the construction time of the Xingchen Building, it is obvious that some rich people are old, and it is very common for the ambulance to come once a month.

There is an elevator in the building, which was approved by the building committee as a special elevator for ambulances.

Cassel saw Lake: "After that, what about the little loli?"

Probably not adopted.

Cassel felt that if Lake was adopted, he should have known.

"I ran away by myself," Lake said.

Oh yes.

See if Skye is adopted by a good foster family tomorrow.

If these two people didn't mention it, Lake almost forgot. After all, he and Skye have some fate. There is nothing to do these days, and it's okay to care a little.

Cassel frowned and looked at Lake: "I remember, you said that you like your daughter very much."

Lake was expressionless: "So what?"

Cassell shrugged: "I think George's proposal is quite good. In this way, the three of us have the opportunity to take them on a tour or something."

George nodded. "That's a good idea."

Lake rolled his eyes: "Hehe, you guys just want me to play with you, you want to be beautiful, even if I am willing to adopt, the child protection agency won't. I'm single, remember?"

Cassel looked at George curiously: "Can't I adopt a single person?"

George shook his head: "I haven't heard of this rule, and I also read the information about Skye later, and his parents are gone. If you want to adopt, you only need to get a seal from the municipal government."

Lake blinked: "Is adoption so easy?"

This is not right.

Lake remembered that when he was five years old, when he was brought home by Karen and Thaddeus, it took almost half a month just for the formalities.

WHY?

Lake blinked.

George said: "Of course, she doesn't need the signature of her biological parents, so it's very simple, and, as you said, you and that little girl have a good relationship, don't you?"

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Adopt Skye?

In the future, I will be able to break the adoptive father of the Great Demon King of the Earth?

interesting.

but……

After thinking for a while, Lake shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, I even need someone from a housekeeping company for the hygiene of my house. To adopt a child, let's forget it."

If Lake wasn't rich, he wondered if he could do a good job of hygiene.

and……

Adoption costs money.

And it's a single man who adopted a little loli. This gossip will spread a lot.

just forget it.

Lake weighed it, and decisively gave up the idea.

George and Cassel looked at each other and saw that Lake seemed to have made up his mind, and he didn't say anything.

at this time.

Ding ding ding.

Ding ding ding.

Suddenly in the bar, phone after phone seems to ring.

even……

George's phone also rang.
