My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 414 The Weeping Miranda
Ethan smiled, and asked seriously, "Why pretend you don't know me?"

"Look at me." Miranda's eyes drifted away, and he made gestures on himself:
"You can't fail to see, a branch girl."

"Why do you think I pretend not to know you?"

This rhetorical question left Ethan speechless. At this moment, the waiter brought over what they wanted.

Ethan picked up his coffee cup: "Sorry."

"I saw you a few days ago, but when I went to look for it, you disappeared again."

"Actually, I've been looking for you in Chinatown these days."

"Don't worry, I will help you."

"Why?" A touch of emotion flashed in Miranda's eyes. She grabbed the sandwich and took a big bite, saying vaguely:

"You don't owe me anything."

Ethan took a sip of coffee and put down the cup: "It's not about being indebted to each other in order to help each other."

"We used to be comrades in arms, didn't we?"

"Speaking of comrades." Miranda raised her head and met his gaze: "So, Officer Morgan, have you done what you promised me?"

For a moment, Ethan was in a trance.

He seemed to have returned to the intersection of the highway in Banshee Town a few months ago.

Miranda waved his arms at him and yelled at him to promise to take Proctor down.

"Yes." Ethan nodded heavily:
"What I promised you has been done, and Proctor is dead."

"That's good."

Miranda's eyes were flushed: "This is the best news I have heard in this period of time."

After speaking, tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.

She covered her mouth with her hands, her shoulders shook, and she sobbed.

This crying caught the waiter's attention.

The waiter hurriedly walked up to Burgess and Atwater, who were wearing police uniforms, and whispered, "Officer, something happened over there."

"That woman is crying, something is wrong."

The two people who were eating the hamburger quickly put down the food in their hands and nervously looked in the direction the waiter pointed.

When he saw the person sitting in the corner, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"fine."

"That's a detective from our department," Burgess said to the waiter.

"That's good."

The waiter patted his chest, turned and walked into the back kitchen.

"Monkey Richette."

The moment Atwater saw Ethan, he quickly turned his head back.

He touched Burgess with his elbow: "This is big news. Detective Morgan is now the most mysterious guy in our bureau. Few people know about his personal situation."

"Yes."

Burgess' eyes were also bright, and he bit his lips excitedly: "Do you think that woman opposite is his girlfriend?"

"Who knows." Atwater punched her again:

"Quietly, listen carefully."

Burgess nodded quickly, turning his ears sideways.

Facing the crying Miranda, Ethan didn't know what to say, so he sat quietly.

After a while, Miranda finally stopped sobbing.

Ethan quickly took out a few tissues and handed them over: "Here, I'm sorry, I didn't know that Proctor had caused you so much harm."

"Thank you."

Miranda's eyeshadow has faded, and her dark circles are more pronounced.

She forced a smile and said, "You don't need to say anything sorry, you have already avenged me, haven't you?"

"Yes."

Ethan reached out and patted the back of her hand: "Thinking of this, you should be happy."

Miranda didn't look happy at all, and the light in her eyes became even dimmer:
"Can I call you Ethan?"

"of course can."

"Then Ethan, can you leave after drinking your coffee?" Miranda squeezed out a smile, "Continue your trip and pretend you haven't seen me."

"No."

Ethan shook his head slowly, tapping his fingers on the table:
"I don't know what you have experienced in the past few months. I didn't find it. It can be regarded as nothing happened."

"But since I saw it, you can't ask me to leave you alone."

Seriously, he and Miranda weren't friends.

When she escaped from Banshee Town, Ethan also got Hood to give her 2 yuan, which is not a small sum.

But this is by no means an excuse for him to stand idly by when Miranda degenerates into a street warbler.

"Even if I tell you what happened."

Miranda wiped her tears and said with a wry smile: "What can you do, this is not Banshee Town."

"I'm already very satisfied knowing that Proctor is dead. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have fled to Chicago and fallen to where I am now."

After she finished speaking, she thought of something, and the tears flowed down instantly.

Maybe it was because of meeting an acquaintance that she couldn't control her emotions, so she just lay down on the table, her shoulders kept shaking.

Facing the woman's tears, he had no solution.

He let out a heavy breath and walked towards the dining table.

The two patrolmen were sitting upright, eating their supper seriously.

"Stop pretending."

Ethan slapped Burgess on the shoulder: "You, stay and help."

"Okay, detective."

Burgess trembled, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth.

"you."

Ethan looked at Atwater: "Ask Pratt to send you another person, and hurry up to patrol."

Atwater shrugged at Burgess and reached for his pocket.

"Let's go, my treat."

Ethan waved his hand impatiently, beckoning to the waiter: "Give me a bottle of beer."

Atwater suddenly smiled, and walked quickly outside the restaurant.

"Bah."

Ethan unscrewed the bottle cap and pointed to Miranda: "I remember you said you were good at calming emotions, get her done."

Burgess nodded heavily and quickly straightened his uniform.

She took a few deep breaths and walked quickly to the corner.

After Ethan drank half a bottle of beer, and he didn't know what magic Burgess had cast, Miranda's mood stabilized after a while.

He walked over with the wine bottle and sat down on the seat again:

"Miranda, I'm not here to visit Chicago."

Ethan took out his police badge, pressed the table and said in a deep voice, "I'm a police detective in Chicago now, no matter what happens to you, trust me, I'll help you solve it."

"Just like you once believed in me."

Miranda looked at the police badge on the table, then at Burgess.

"That's right." Burgess nodded:

"He's a police detective from our branch. He didn't lie to you."

The police uniform on her made Miranda instantly believe what Ethan said.

"Please."

Miranda's eyes sparkled, and he quickly reached out to grab Ethan: "Help get Danny out."

"Danny?"

"Rescue?"

Ethan and Burgess looked at each other, then patted the back of Miranda's hand in turn: "Tell me about it."

In Miranda's narration, Ethan finally knew what happened to her after she arrived in Chicago.

When she came to Chicago, Miranda defected to her cousin.

Her cousin also worked in a strip club in Chicago. For the sake of familiarity, she also went to that club to do her previous job.

Life was supposed to go on like this until she saved enough money, or found a better job.

But her cousin is a lone worm, and when she was hanging out with gang members, she stole a bag of flour from those people obsessively.

On the way home, when she encountered a patrolman, her cousin threw her things away in panic.

Things were exposed, and gang members came to the door.

In this way, Miranda was forced to stand on the street with her cousin, and her son Danny was also taken away to work as a mule transporting drugs.

In order to better control Miranda, she was also forced to inject drugs and became addicted to drugs.
