Entertaining Children

"Boss, are we finished here? Should I take Xiao away?" Tim Haggis looked as if the matter was over, so he asked Alan Hall for instructions. ?? Bayi? Chinese W≈W=W≤. =8=1≈Z=W≠. COM

"Wait," Alan Hall took out a piece of paper from the file in his hand and handed it to Tim Haggis, "This is the appearance of the escaped female robber. Take a look and remember her appearance clearly When protecting Xiao, pay attention to this beautiful woman."

"Okay, I will." Tim Haggis reached out and took it.

"You figured out the appearance of the female robber so quickly?" Hearing that it was the appearance of the female robber, Danny on the side also moved to Tim's side curiously.

"She looks pretty." Danny commented, and then he was a little surprised, "But why is it a sketch portrait? Didn't our bureau switch to computer software to spell out the suspect's appearance ten years ago? Is Henry's computer malfunctioning? I didn't expect Henry to have such an old-fashioned technology."

The Henry that Danny was talking about was a technician of the branch office, who was responsible for spelling out the suspect's appearance based on the descriptions of witnesses, so Danny's first reaction was that it was Henry's handwriting.

"Henry didn't draw this, it was him." Allen Hall pointed to Xiao Yao and said, "The note next to it was also written by him."

"Our witness can do anything!" Tim Haggis said speechlessly, looking at the Chinese young man he was about to protect.

"What do you mean?" Danny asked Tim Haggis curiously, "Has anything happened that I don't know about?"

"Damn it!" At this moment, Xiao Yao, who was squatting on the ground, yelled angrily.

"What happened?" Attracted by Xiao Yao's cry, the three detectives and Morton's mother and daughter also looked over.

It turned out that Xiao Yao saw Tim Haggis looking at the portrait of the suspect, and knew that there would be a short delay, so he turned his attention to his luggage. Another worry came to Xiao Yao's mind when he saw the guitar case leaning against the wall. So, Xiao Yao put the guitar case on the ground, squatted down and opened the guitar case to check his guitar. Unexpectedly, as soon as the guitar case was opened, the guitar inside had been devastated. Not to mention the speaker panel was cracked, the neck part was broken directly, and the headstock was only connected to the speaker part by a few guitar strings. Together.

The three agents and Morton's mother and daughter were also taken aback when they saw the tragic state of the guitar.

Danny immediately raised his hands and said, "I promise, I didn't do it. From the time I helped you unload your luggage on the conveyor belt to the time you entered the lounge,

I guarantee that I haven't fallen in the middle, not even bumped. On the way, I put two suitcases in the trunk of the car. I put the guitar case on the back seat of the car, and it never fell down on the road. It is impossible for this to happen. "

"I believe you," Xiao Yao said, looking up at the slightly nervous Danny, "I think I know who did it."

"That's right," Sana Morton also said, "When we were boarding the plane in London, we found that the baggage handlers were savagely handling the passengers' checked luggage and throwing them directly. Young's guitar must have been thrown at that time. bad."

After hearing Sana Morton's words, Danny immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Alan Hall looked at the damaged guitar, and said to Xiao Yao: "So that's what happened. We can't help you with this kind of civil damage. You can only complain to the airport or the airline and negotiate. Solved. I can refer you to a lawyer if needed. But with all due respect, it is very difficult for ordinary people to win lip service against giant corporations like airlines and airports.”

"No, thank you for your kindness." Xiao Yao nodded to Alan Hall and said, "This is my own business, and I can solve it myself." Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and handed it to the "corpse" of his guitar I took a picture and closed the piano case again.

"Can we go?" Xiao Yao stood up and asked.

"Okay." Alan Hall nodded, took back the sketch of the suspect in Tim Haggis' hands, and waved to Xiao Yao as a gesture of invitation.

"Xiao, take my car." Tim Haggis suggested to Xiao Yao while waiting for the elevator after exiting the gate of the branch office.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, looked at Morton's mother and daughter, and asked Tim Haggis, "Can I trouble you to take Sana and Katie home first?"

"Of course, as long as you go with me to deliver it, it's fine." Tim Haggis nodded.

"Don't bother Mr. Detective, we can just take a taxi and go back." Sana Morton said.

"It's okay, I'll take you off, it's safer." Tim Haggis shook his head.

"Okay, thank you then." Sana Morton didn't insist, after all, after what happened tonight, it would still make people feel more at ease to have a police officer escort her home.

The four of them took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot and got into Tim Haggis' car together. Tim asked the address of Morton's house and drove out.

"Mrs. Morton, can I ask?" Tim Haggis glanced at Sana Morton in the back seat through the rearview mirror on the way, and asked curiously, "Why did this happen tonight? Didn't you see your husband?"

"My husband is not at home." Sana said, "He was sent by the company to work in Huaxia for a period of time because of work needs. In fact, we just went to Huaxia to visit him, and we just came back from Huaxia today."

"I see," Tim Haggis nodded and stopped talking.

"Considering that their mother and daughter are alone at home, do you also need to take certain protective measures for their mother and daughter?" Xiao Yao suddenly said to Tim Haggis, "The two of them were also picked by that group of robbers at the time hostage."

"I don't think it's necessary." Tim Haggis shook his head and said, "I also learned about the prisoner interception incident you experienced just now. The passengers broke the news on the Internet and said that you did it alone. They The two of them didn't do anything, and theoretically, they would not be retaliated by the escaped female robber. The community where Morton's home is located is very safe, and it should be relatively safe."

Seeing that Xiao Yao was still frowning, Tim continued: "But since you mentioned it, I will say hello to nypd and ask their patrol officers to pay more attention to the situation near Mrs. Morton's house. They are also involved in the incident tonight The participating parties, knowing what happened, should not refuse this request."

"Okay, thank you." Xiao Yao nodded, "Also, my English name is Yang, you can call me Yang directly." Xiao Yao's affection for Tim has obviously increased a lot.

"No, I should say thank you." Sana in the back seat said.

It was already very late to send the Morton mother and daughter home, so Sana didn't keep Xiao Yao much longer, but just exchanged phone numbers with him, and then watched Tim drive Xiao Yao away.

"Xiao, you're from China, don't you have a place to live yet?" Tim Haggis asked Xiao Yao again as he drove away from Morton's house, "If you don't mind, you can live directly at my house. Of course , if you are not used to it, I can also accompany you to stay in a hotel. You can choose which hotel you want, as long as it is not in a too dangerous neighborhood. But you have to go home with me first, so I can simply pack my luggage .”

"Let's stay in a hotel." Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I already booked a hotel before I came to the United States, but I don't know if they still have a room for me after such a long delay."

"It's okay, if it's gone, we'll rebook. It's not the peak tourist season, and the hotel doesn't lack rooms." Tim smiled, and drove Xiao Yao to his home.

After simply packing up a few changes of clothes, Tim took Xiao Yao to the hotel where he had booked the room before. The Ferry Hotel that Xiao Yao booked is not in the center of New York City, but in a slightly remote location on the edge of the city. But because there are several well-known art schools located there, it is a famous art and cultural district in New York, and the surrounding environment is very good, so Tim has no objection to Xiao Yao staying in this hotel.

When he came to the hotel to check in, the room Xiao Yao booked was still there, but after Tim found out that Xiao Yao had booked an ordinary single room, he decided to change the room into a suite. The single room is relatively small, and there is only one bed, which is not conducive to Tim's protection work. Tim doesn't want to live next door to Xiao Yao. Of course, Tim didn't mean to sleep with Xiao Yao. The suite has two bedrooms and a living room, sharing the same door. For Tim, this level is enough.

The price of a suite is naturally different from that of a single room, but since Tim said that the protection task is an official business assigned by the branch office, the bureau will bear the expenses of accommodation, and Xiao Yao does not need to spend money, so Xiao Yao readily accepted it.

After working all night, Tim's proposal to invite Xiao Yao to dinner naturally couldn't be realized. After the two checked in, Tim directly ordered the hotel to send some food to the room through room service, and after eating something with Xiao Yao, Tim was ready to go to bed.

However, due to jet lag and the fact that Xiao Yao spent a lot of time sleeping on the plane, he didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment. It is useful for Xiao Yao to bring a guitar from Huaxia to the United States. Now that the guitar is destroyed, Xiao Yao has to solve the problem of the guitar in addition to filing a complaint letter with the airline. So, after eating some food, Xiao Yao kept asking Tim where there was an all-night musical instrument store nearby, and he was going to buy a guitar. However, Tim, who is not very familiar with this area, didn't know much about it. In the end, Xiao Yao called the front desk of the hotel and asked for the address of an all-night musical instrument store.

Although Tim, who was already a little tired, was reluctant to go out, but because he agreed not to restrict Xiao Yao's actions, Tim had no choice but to go out with Xiao Yao to buy a guitar. Fortunately, the musical instrument store was not too far from the hotel, and they didn't spend too much time buying guitars.

After buying the guitar, Xiao Yao didn't make any more requests, and went into his bedroom to fiddle with the newly bought guitar, and Tim could finally rest.

Due to the task of protecting the parties involved, Tim did not dare to sleep too much and woke up early the next day. When he finished washing and came out of the bedroom to the living room, he found that Xiao Yao got up earlier than him and had already had breakfast in the living room.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yao also took good care of Tim. Not only did he not go out to exercise early after waking up in the morning, but he even asked the hotel to deliver food to the room for breakfast. He stayed in the room honestly and did not go out, which also allowed Tim to sleep for a while longer.

"Morning, I ordered breakfast, let's have it together." Seeing Tim come out, Xiao Yao greeted with a smile.

After the FBI's profiling analysis of the three robbers, they belonged to violent crimes, and the trick of poisoning did not conform to their behavior pattern, so Tim's protection work did not include checking food, Xiao Yao You don't need Tim's permission to eat anything.

"Okay," Tim sat down in front of Xiao Yao, grabbed a piece of toast, took a bite, and asked Xiao Yao while eating, "What are your travel plans today?" Since Xiao Yao rejected the protective confinement, Obviously, he won't stay in the hotel all the time.

"I'm going to be a street performer on the side of the road outside the Chambers Conservatory of Music today." Xiao Yao smiled, "You can look at me from a suitable distance, but I don't want you to stand by my side."

"This is no problem, as long as you are within my sight." Tim nodded, and then asked curiously, "Don't tell me that you came to the United States to be a street performer. What do you want to perform?"

"Playing the guitar, of course," Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the guitar he bought last night, "Why do you think I went to buy it so late last night?"

"Dude," Tim shook his head and looked at Xiao Yao, "Although I don't know much about music, I also know that Chambers Conservatory of Music is a world-class music institution that has trained many world-class masters of musical instruments. You run Buskers playing guitar on the curb outside Chambers College of Music? It's like a uniformed patrolman running outside the FBI headquarters bragging how he solved the crime. Are you crazy?"

"Why not?" Xiao Yao shrugged with a smile, "It's not illegal for me to do this. Besides, don't you think it would be cool to do that?"
