The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 178 Angela: OMG, you actually laughed!Chuck: Happy today!

"As I said, you are one of the most important assets of the Jeffersonian Society. We will seriously consider your wishes."

Dr. Goodman said with a smile: "You can try, but before that, you need to go to Arlington National Cemetery, where a corpse that is not in the grave was found, and you need to identify it."

Seeing that Dr. Bones wanted to speak again, he interrupted directly: "Don't worry, if it's a major or difficult case this time, you can take the opportunity to contact Dr. Wolfe directly, and directly start what you said to work together to solve the case. The FBI only The idea of ​​being in charge of helping out has to have a beginning, doesn't it?"

"Ok."

Dr. Bones nodded: "I can go there, but the FBI agent doesn't have to be that Hillary Booth!"

"As long as your idea can be realized and you and Dr. Wolf succeed in partnering, you can use whoever you want to assist at that time."

Dr. Goodman nailed the key: "Fame is everything!"

Arlington National Cemetery.

Located on the west bank of the Potomac River, across the river from the Lincoln Memorial, this is the most famous of the more than 100 national cemeteries in the United States.

Soldiers who died in the war, politicians who died on the job, and people who made contributions to the United States are buried here, and tombstones are erected one by one. Walking in it, it is claimed to have seen the American dream.

But today, the dream was shattered.

On the Potomac River.

The FBI has sealed it off.

When Dr. Bones drove over, he showed his ID, and Detective Booth said to the person in charge of the blockade, "She's one of my own."

The person in charge of the blockade directly gave way.

"This set again?"

Dr. Bones glanced at him.

"Hey, I know there's controversy about that incident at the airport, and I'm not going to argue about who's right and who's wrong."

Agent Booth said solemnly: "Now there are jobs here, I think even you scientists should put work first before work?"

"If this is another routine, you won't succeed."

Dr. Bones said something, seeing Agent Booth opening his mouth to speak, he interrupted directly: "Start working now, don't talk about irrelevant things, what do you want me to do here?"

Agent Booth tugged at his suit tie depressed, took Dr. Bones on a motorboat, came to the middle of the river, and lowered an underwater detector.

"Routine gardening management, they were digging a pond, a worker found it."

"What should I look at?"

Dr. Bones stared at the monitor.

"Don't worry, it's like watching a movie about the San Fernando Valley..."

While putting the detector on, Detective Booth approached Dr. Bones' ear, and subconsciously began to swear.

"What did you say?"

Dr. Bones avoided whispering, and looked at Detective Booth who was a little surprised.

"……nothing."

Detective Booth also realized that he was in Meng Lang, so he quickly covered it up.

"So in your eyes, I'm not only the high-intelligence 'squint eye' with rigorous deduction ability in your mouth, but also the woman in those little movies in the San Fernando Valley who offered to entertain you with just a few words?"

Dr. Bones said coldly.

"You think too much, I don't mean that."

Agent Booth fixed his eyes on the detector's monitor.

"No?"

Dr. Bones sneered: "Would you say such things in such a gesture to your female colleague?"

"..."

Agent Booth was speechless.

He admitted that he would not say what he said just now to an unfamiliar female colleague, and he used that kind of action tone, otherwise he would definitely be harassed by the accused.

But he did it anyway.

It is because subconsciously, what he brought himself into is the male protagonist in Dr. Bones's novel who claims to be a walking hormone, and Dr. Bones is of course the heroine. It is not normal for the male protagonist to say a few dirty words to the female protagonist. Well.

Even if it does not immediately stage the classic plot in the San Fernando Valley movie, at least it is the dream scene of the male and female protagonists flirting with each other in the novel, right?
But what's going on now?

Not only was he not involved, but he was scolded by the heroine sternly, which frustrated Detective Booth who brought in the "hormone-walking hero".

Dr. Bones' best friend Angela is not here, otherwise, as the hexagonal old Siji who no one knows better than her, she will definitely not be able to resist popular science: "The filter is here, everything is flirtatious, and the filter is broken, everything is nothing. bother!"

A corpse has already appeared on the monitor of the underwater detector. This time, it is not a traditional American iron barrel 'suicide', but a 'suicide' tied tightly with a fishing net.

Seeing this, Dr. Bones did not dwell on the issue of discrimination and harassment for the time being. Looking at the monitor, he said solemnly, "Okay, this is the scene of the crime."

After the body was salvaged and a preliminary judgment was made on the spot, Dr. Bones took the body back to the Jefferson Institute for further examination.

Agent Booth followed in silence.

After being provoked repeatedly, the self-confidence brought in by the leading actor disappeared, and suddenly he felt a little speechless.

Jeffersonian Society.

"In addition to the temperature, there are many microorganisms in the river that accelerate decomposition, but they also feed black carp and other fish. I found the larvae, and I can track how long the corpses have been in the river later."

Dr. Jack Hudgens, Ph.D. in entomology, microbiologist, and mineralogist at the Jeffersonian Society, helped while gossiping: "In your eyes, am I really energetic?"

"what?"

Dr. Bones was stunned by this turning point.

"He's talking about people in the book."

Best friend Angela laughed.

"It's not you in the book!"

Dr. Bones denied.

"Of course it's him, we're all there."

On the side, a young man with a green complexion and a childish look said leisurely: "Just to be clear, I am no longer a beast boy."

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows proudly: "It's not long ago, Spencer is very envious of this."

Everyone looked at him speechlessly.

The young man is Zach Eddy, the assistant of Dr. Bones, who is studying for two doctoral degrees. The Spencer he is talking about is Dr. Spencer Reed, who is also a young genius with high IQ, and he is quite different from him. Nearly, they are good friends.

Compared to the idol-level Chuck, Reed and Zach have more topics to talk about. Reed is far ahead of Zach in academic achievements, but he is completely blown by Zach in life.

One of them is the younger Zach, who is no longer an animal boy. This is where Reid is far behind, and it is also Zach's proudest point.

"No, neither of you."

Dr. Bones glanced at Detective Booth standing aside: "The characters in the book are all fictional characters and have nothing to do with anyone. People in reality cannot be compared with the characters in the book anyway, because the characters in the book The characters never disappoint."

"Not necessarily."

Best friend Angela glanced at Detective Booth and said, "When you meet Dr. Wolfe, you may find that there are still people who can never disappoint you in reality."

"Dr. Wolfe?"

Zach exclaimed in surprise: "Dr. Buen Reiner, do you want to see Dr. Chuck Wolf?"

"Be happy."

Best friend Angela smiled and said: "Darling and Dr. Wolf are a match made in heaven. They are both top scientists in their fields, and both are interested in investigating cases. They are handsome men and beautiful women. A current male detective, A future female detective, I am already excited when I think of their partner."

"awesome!"

Zach said happily: "I'm Dr. Buenreiner's assistant, so wouldn't I also become Dr. Wolfe's assistant in disguise? Maybe I can follow Dr. Wolfe to study another doctorate."

"You can talk about it after you get your current two doctoral degrees."

Dr. Bones reminded: "Otherwise you won't even have the chance to talk to Dr. Goodman."

Dr. Goodman, the curator of the Jeffersonian Institution Museum of Natural History, has a habit of talking only to the doctor in his own territory.

Zach is studying two PhDs at the same time, but he still has the identity of Mr. Zach Eddy, without a doctoral title. Dr. Goodman never directly responds to what Zach said, even if Zach repeatedly said that two PhDs are barely being read. a Ph.D.

"He's not a law enforcement officer, what's the use of you working with him?"

Agent Booth couldn't help but sneer.

"what!"

Best friend Angela laughed immediately: "Although Dr. Wolfe is not a law enforcement officer, do you really think that after Bones cooperates with him, do you still need to consider whether there are law enforcement officers to help with this problem?"

"..."

Agent Booth was speechless.

As the most famous consultant in the bureau, except for those old fish sticks who don't care about their work at all, who wouldn't know the name of Dr. Chuck Wolfe!

"Indeed not."

Zach answered without the slightest wink: "Dr. Wolfe is a consultant to many law enforcement agencies, and the FBI directly cooperates with the BAU. Spencer often shows off to me the work they have done together. It seems that I will have the opportunity in the future. Tell him, it's great!"

"Dr. Chuck Wolfe is really good."

Dr. Jack Huggins, who has always been proud and deeply convinced of conspiracy theories, nodded: "Not long ago he sent the female senator and her congressman's father to prison."

"If I caught them, I'd send them to jail too, it's a basic matter of fair enforcement."

Agent Booth said unconvinced.

"I'm not finished yet."

Dr. Jack Huggins looked at him: "Sending them in is really awesome, but what's even better is that after offending a family of politicians, billionaires, and transnational criminal groups, he is still alive. Awesome!"

"That's because we, the law enforcement officers, are guarding the country."

Agent Booth shook his head: "That's what's really commendable."

"Yeah, it is because of your protection that Commander Lincoln and Commander Kennedy will have a big brain."

Dr. Jack Huggins sneered.

"What did you say?"

Agent Booth was enraged instantly, went straight over, and grabbed Dr. Jack Huggins by the collar.

"Let go!"

Dr. Bones scolded: "This is our laboratory, not your FBI's boxing room."

Veins popped out of Agent Booth's forehead, but he finally let go, turned and walked away.

"what happened to him?"

Zach was puzzled.

"Because I poked him where it hurts."

Dr. Jack Huggins rubbed his chest and explained with a smile: "His surname is Booth, and more than 100 years ago, the assassin who assassinated General Lincoln and blasted his head was John Booth."

"OMG!"

Best friend Angela exclaimed: "The ancestor of Booth turned out to be that John Booth?"

"Yes."

Dr. Jack Huggins nodded and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from me. He is a direct descendant of John Booth."

"Isn't it?"

Zach questioned: "If so, how did he pass the FBI's background check and become an FBI special agent in Washington DC?"

Civil servants in any country have background checks. People like Detective Booth, whose ancestors assassinated President Lincoln, who ranks first in the history of the United States, are logically impossible to enter government agencies, let alone Not to mention that the FBI, the largest law enforcement agency in the United States, is still performing duties in the capital, and it has a certain chance of being a guard for the Grand Commander.

"good question!"

Dr. Jack Huggins smiled meaningfully: "You asked the most critical point, yeah, how did someone like him pass the FBI background check? The answer is, don't read what they are saying, but ask Look what they did."

"What do you mean?"

Zach has a super IQ, but his EQ, according to the U.S. drama world, is very low, and he is relatively slow to react to the world.

"In the eyes of ordinary people, John Booth may be an unforgivable sinner."

Dr. Jack Huggins explained: "But in some people's eyes, he is the most trustworthy loyal minister of this country. He defended the real 'freedom' of this country with guns. The influence of most ordinary people is far away. It is far inferior to that small group of people, so his descendants will naturally not fail any background checks."

"All right."

Dr. Bones was also stunned when he heard it, but she knew that Dr. Jack Huggins liked to throw out all kinds of conspiracy theories. She already had a certain immunity and shook her head. The doctor put these conspiracy theories behind him: "Don't talk about it, let's focus on the corpse and listen to her grievances as much as possible."

Detective Booth walked outside the laboratory, untied his tie irritably, with a gloomy and frightening expression.

Today's series of troubles made him almost unable to suppress his temper, and Dr. Jack Huggins just came to poke his biggest heart trouble again.

If it weren't for his good self-control, he would have been fighting each other long ago.

"Are you OK?"

I don't know how long it took, Dr. Bones came out and glanced at him: "We have already reached a preliminary conclusion, why don't you go in and have a look, if you have no opinion, we can invite Dr. Chuck Wolf to come over and handle the case together. "

"fine."

Detective Booth laughed at himself: "I think starting today, I will never lose my composure again, because there is nothing worse than what I encountered before..."

At this moment, his cell phone rang. After he connected, his face that had softened became ugly again. After hanging up the phone, he swears: "You must be joking!"

"Any questions?"

Dr. Bones asked curiously.

"No problem, in fact you should be satisfied."

Detective Booth said coldly: "The Chuck Wolfe you miss so much didn't need you to take the initiative to find him. He came here by himself. He was invited by the Ellers and took over my case!"

"Which case?"

Dr. Bones' eyes lit up: "Don't tell me it's about the disappearance of the female assistant related to Senator Bethlehem?"

"……how do you know?"

Agent Booth froze.

"You'll know when you come in."

Dr. Bones didn't answer directly, but walked in with a little surprise on his face.

"This is?"

Agent Booth followed in and watched a three-dimensional projection of a woman projected in mid-air. When he saw the other person's face clearly, his expression changed drastically.

"That's right!"

Dr. Bones nodded and said, "Angela uses our repaired skeleton to program the computer to project a three-dimensional projection of the human body that fits the skeleton. It is the poor girl Corio Elle who is said to be missing and related to the Senator of Bethlehem."

"This is impossible!"

Agent Booth, as if he had seen a ghost, refused to accept it.

He just learned from Colonel Ted Eller that Chuck took over the case. Dr. Bones and the others just kept talking about wanting to cooperate with Chuck, but the next moment, the poor girl who had been missing for almost two years , the corpse appeared, or did he lead someone to dig it out with his own hands?

"Dr. Huggins has verified that the corpse stayed in the river for one summer and two winters, which coincides with the disappearance time of Cleo Eller. I infer the conclusion from the corpse, the age of the victim and the habit of playing tennis. It also matches her, and we are conducting further DNA testing, but the results should not be wrong."

Dr. Bones explained it again, and couldn't help but glance at his best friend.

"Dear, what's wrong?"

Angela is very sensitive to the eyes of her girlfriends.

"He's in charge of the case."

Dr. Bones glanced at Detective Booth, and then continued with some strangeness: "And I just learned that Dr. Wolf was invited by the victim's parents to take over the case."

"OMG!"

Angela exclaimed in surprise: "You and Dr. Chuck Wolf are so destined... This is simply God's will! I think the hero of your next book will really change! It's great! "

Agent Booth was livid.

"Let Dr. Wolf come here."

Zach urged.

Dr. Bones looked at Agent Booth, and everyone followed her gaze. Agent Booth took a deep breath, and could only call with a livid face.

It didn't take long.

Chuck came over.

"Dr. Wolfe, I'm Dr. Tempuri Boenreiner, and this is Dr. Jack Harkin, Angela Montenegro, and Zach Eddy."

Dr. Bones introduced to Chuck: "And this is FBI agent Shirley Booth."

Chuck glanced at the black-faced Detective Booth, and nodded to Dr. Bones and Zach Eddie: "Chuck Wolfe!"

"OMG!"

The fleeting smile on Chuck's face was captured by Angela. Surprised, the original reserved face could no longer be maintained, and she shouted with a nympho face: "He smiled, he actually laughed !"

"Yeah, he actually laughed."

Zach was also dumbfounded.

Because in the information he understands, Chuck has always been unsmiling. According to Dr. Reed, it is cool, so cool!

But what does he see now?
Chuck actually laughed!

wrong!

Not just smiling, but smiling at him!

Zach was overjoyed. He picked up his phone and sent a message to his little friend Dr. Reed. This will be the point that Reed will always envy him in the future.

"It's nothing."

Chuck said calmly, "I'm happy today."

"..."

Detective Booth's face darkened. For some reason, he felt that Chuck's flickering smile, which was fussed about, seemed to have something to do with him.

It's just that even though his brain is wide open, he still can't figure out why.
