Chapter 118: Friends gathering

Richard Cassel is a crime writer.

Writer.

There is an inexplicable common problem, that is, in the writing of these people, the heroine may not be powerful, but it must be sexy.

Unfortunately.

Beckett hates people saying she is **** the most, because Beckett wants to prove that she can be an inspector not by her face, but by her professionalism.

Kassel chuckled, "We are best friends, right."

Lake glanced at Kassel: "No help."

Kassel was taken aback: "I haven't said anything yet."

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

Kassel was a little dazed: "Beckett told you?"

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

Although Lake often likes to be simple and rude, his reasoning is still basic.

Moreover.

He has a plug-in. When he was on vacation in Europe, Kassel met Beckett who asked him to go back and investigate at the cocktail party, following the gears of history.

Calculate the time, it's time.

Kassel said, "Well, I can help..."

"No help."

"..."

"I don't involve any emotional issues, and..."

Lake directly chose to refuse. Other people's family and relationship issues are private. Lake hates to get involved. The most important point is: "I remember half a month ago, you came to ask that I had a wonderful agent Lake.

but……

Lake really can't remember who Beckett's mother-killing enemy is.

and.

Not just Lake, even George didn’t think about helping Beckett solve this case, but after getting acquainted with Beckett, Beckett told them directly, ask them not to interfere, she wants herself Come to investigate, even if the time is slower, it doesn't matter.

Lake and George respected Beckett and immediately nodded their heads.

after that……

Lake and George did not intervene in this case.

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

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

Kassel: "..."

In terms of personal relationships, Lake is not a good choice to refuse Kassel's request.

but……

The ghost knows that because of his intervention, Beckett and her husband Kassel, a serious literary writer, will simply disappear without a trace.

Lake didn't want to carry this pot.

Kassel sighed: "Well, thank you."

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

Kassel looked at Lake.

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

Kassel looked out the window.

Star Building.

……and many more.

Cassell pulled down the car window and yelled at Lake: "Damn it, an hour's journey. You drove me back in less than half an hour. Do you want my ticket to be a comic book?"

The words haven't fallen yet.

A patrolman who followed all the way appeared in front of Kassel in pitch darkness: "You, suspected of driving dangerously, get out of the car, and come with us."

Kassel: "..."

The next night.

In a police officer's bar not far from the Star Building.

Three people are drinking.

Lake.

George.

Kassel.

Lake and George clinked glasses and drank, "It's still delicious in New York's Bourbon, Washington's Bourbon, the taste is hard to say."

George said, "I have read the report, congratulations."

Lake said thank you.

Kassel looked a little ugly on the side: "Hey, hey, I said my problem, can you respect me?"

George raised his hand.

Lake sighed and said to Kassel, "I said it, don't thank me."

The corners of Kassel's mouth twitched: "A fine of two thousand dollars, why do I thank you?"

"Did Beckett go fishing for you?"

"……Yes but……"

"So, no thanks."

"..."

Kassel took a deep breath, looked at Lake thoughtfully, his eyes seemed to be shocked and there was still a hint of disbelief in the heavens.

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

Kassel was dubious: "Really?"

Lake pointed his finger at George: "If you don't believe me, ask George. Last year, there was a guy like you who wanted to solve the case, but when Beckett knew about it, he broke off contact with him completely. What is that guy's name?"

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

"New Jersey?"

"Correct."

"..."

Daily milk New Jersey achievement completed.

Lake and George clinked glasses again, and Kassel regained consciousness and joined in.

The three drank it.

Since Kassel got on with Beckett, Kassel, who is also familiar with the police officers, knows that there are certain bars in which you may not see anyone wearing a police uniform, but the number of police officers is Occupy the most.

and so.

When Beckett had no case, Kassel 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 of them sat on the deck of the bar, drinking and chatting.

Lake felt the rare peace.

This feels good.

Drinking small wine with two friends, chatting, bragging.

just……

Talking and talking.

Lake's expression changed.

The style of chat seems crooked.

Lake returned to his senses, his expression became more and more weird, listening to George and Kassel's adopted daughter's experience as well as the taboo of their daughter in dating, he couldn't help coughing: "Hey, hey, the style of painting is crooked."

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

Lake was expressionless: "Do you think, can I mix in the content of your two chats?"

damn it.

Is it great to have a daughter?

I am not without.

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

just……

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

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

Such friends are so annoying.

I don’t know how to chat, I might as well go home and drink by myself.

George thought for a while and said to Lake: "Then talk about the little Lolita last time?"

Lake suddenly looked at George speechlessly.

Kassel came interested and asked George: "What is the situation, let's talk about it."

Lake interrupted: "Nothing to say."

George didn't care, he just turned Skye and Lake into a corner, and then told Kassel the story that happened.

Kassel seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lake: "Is that the day when an ambulance was parked downstairs?"

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

Again.

There are monopoly in the Star Building, and, considering the construction time of the Star Building, it is obvious that some rich people are getting old, and it is common for an ambulance to come once a month.

There is an elevator in the building, which was passed on the resolution of the building committee and used as a special elevator for ambulances.

Kassel saw Lake: "What about afterwards, where's that little loli?"

There should be no adoption.

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

Lake said, "I ran away."

That's right.

Tomorrow, see if Skye is adopted by a good foster family.

If the two of them didn't mention it, Lake would almost forget it. After all, he and Skye had some fate, and nothing happened these days. It's okay to care a little.

Kassel 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 pretty good. In this way, the three of us can take them to travel together if we have the opportunity."

George nodded: "This is a good idea."

Lake rolled his eyes and said, "Hehe, you all want me to play with, and the beauty of thinking. Even if I am willing to adopt, the child protection agency will not want it. I am single remember?"

Kassel looked at George with some curiosity: "Can't you adopt a single person?"

George shook his head: "I haven't heard of this rule, and I also read the information about Skye later. My parents are no longer there. If you want to adopt, you only need the municipal government to stamp it."

Lake blinked: "Is it so simple to adopt?"

This is not right.

Lake remembers that when he was five years old, when he was taken home by Karen and Thaddeus, he was gone for almost half a month just because of 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 you also said that you have a good relationship with that little girl, don't you?"

Lake raised his eyebrows.

Adopt Skye?

Will I be able to break the adoptive father of the Earth Devil from now on?

interesting.

but……

After thinking about it for a while, Lake smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I need someone from the housekeeping company for the hygiene of my home. I adopt a child, so forget it.

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

and……

Adoption costs a lot.

Moreover, a single male adopts a little loli, which will spread a lot of gossip.

just forget it.

Lake weighed it and gave up the idea decisively.

George and Kassel glanced at each other, seeing that Lake seemed to have made up his mind and didn't say anything.

at this time.

Ding Ding Ding.

Ding Ding Ding.

Suddenly in the bar, one phone call after another seemed to ring.

even……

George's phone also rang.

...
