Chapter 41 Full Showdown
Chapter 41 Full Showdown
Being trusted for no reason is actually not a good thing. Reid looked at Watson's back, and suddenly felt that this back was a bit like Scott's.Though he's not as tall as Scott, nor as young.He is neither brilliant nor insightful, he is just an ordinary person, but his back that is not wide seems to be able to support the whole world for his loved one.
For a split second Reid felt as if Scott had come back, stood in front of him, and said in the same casual but determined tone: You deserve it.
And he also understood why people like Sherlock would be impressed by John Watson.Who in this world can refuse such tenderness and trust? Scott was raised by such a person, he is really too happy. At the same time, Reid also feels reassured. With such a person growing up with him, he will never leave him just like that.
When the true appearance of Mrs. Hebe's fireplace appeared in front of Reid's eyes, he felt that he had gone to the wrong set.Isn't this really a scene from a science fiction novel?Similar to the conversion of "Transformers", a fireplace becomes a supercomputer under a few simple instructions, and the laziness and impatience of Mrs. Domineering to conquer the world... Reid thought that he was never regarded as a normal person since he was a child, but if he met these people, maybe he was the more normal one.
Well, well, Scott and Mr. Military Doctor are also directly on this side.
"Thank you for trusting Scott and coming here." Mrs. Hebe looked at Reid's somewhat embarrassed expression, and the smile on her face softened a bit.In the past few years, she has watched Reid, and she has a better understanding of what kind of person this young doctor is.
"Because Scott also believed in me." Reid subconsciously raised his hand to touch the amethyst ring on his chest. Although Scott is not by his side now, he can still rely on his own strength to go on.
Mrs. Hebe's system was fully activated: "Tell me, Spencer, what do you want to check?" Mrs. Hebe blinked at him.
Reid was a little moved. In the past 20 years, there have been only a handful of people who have called him by his name.Even the teammates in the bau usually call him by his last name, which is a signal of respect between them.In a way, Reid also doesn't like being called by names by unfamiliar people.But in just a few days, the last message Scott sent to him called him by name, Mr. Watson called him by name, and Mrs. Hebe also called him by name.
What he felt from Scott was intimate trust and love, and the latter two gave him the pampering of the elders—although he felt that Watson was only a few years older, but still far from his father's age , which made him a little puzzled why the other party would treat him as a child.
The reason Sherlock is naturally very clear, John has always treated Scott as a child, so naturally he will treat his boyfriend as a child.
But Sherlock certainly wouldn't tell anyone about it.
"Well, please help investigate the incidents that have occurred in Las Vegas in the past week, mainly the disappearance and death of people. Then there is the movement of a large amount of funds." Reid said nervously.If he's right, it's only a matter of time before Scott is found.within the last day or two.
"No problem." Mrs. Hebe's list made people a little surprised. Although Las Vegas has always had the "reputation" of suicide city, it is a bit abnormal that the number of deaths in the past week is more than before.Among the cases classified as gang fights, nearly a dozen people died, and the cause of death was a single shot to the brain, cleanly.At the same time, the queen of the casino in Las Vegas, who has the opportunity of a fiery red rose, mysteriously disappeared, and the property and funds under her name were transferred to a person named Mike Strick.
"Oh, damn Mike." Sherlock sighed. "How much do Americans like the name Mike? I remember the dead librarian with that name."
"No way, because it's common." Reid took the printed materials, and then said solemnly: "Can you help me to get the surveillance video of Las Vegas airport in the afternoon of April 21?"
"I don't have permission to call this out." Mrs. Hebe shook her head pretending to regret, and her tone became strong in the next second: "But I can hack their system and take out the video data."
As Reid expected, they found Scott in it. Reid's eyes have moved elsewhere: "I guess they must have tricked Scott by pretending to be a taxi driver, and then Scott was ambushed, but he escaped."
"How do you know he's not dead?" Mrs. Hebe raised her eyebrows curiously.
Reid smiled: "He is so powerful, how could he be killed cleanly with a single shot. Scott, he will not die so easily."
"Just like this, we have no way of determining where he is." Sherlock actually already had a clue about what happened next, but he didn't plan to say it.To put it bluntly, he just wanted to see how capable Reid was.
Reid looked at him suspiciously: "Why are we looking for where he is? We already know where he is going, don't we? As long as we confirm Scott's actions, we will naturally know where to meet him."
"It seems that you don't need our help, so go find Scott yourself." Sherlock circled the house, "John and I have other cases, we'll go first. The next thing you Do it yourself."
"Shelock!" Watson thought Mr. Detective was making a fuss because the doctor thought of the truth first.
Sherlock's hands were already in the pockets of his coat: "John, have you forgotten that murderer? The one who targets young and beautiful girls."
"..." Watson then remembered the purpose of their coming to the United States. The reason why they stopped here was just to see Scott.They had no right and no need to interfere with the Ark's affairs, and most importantly, Sherlock didn't want to interfere at all.
Mr. Detective thinks that if the person he guards can't even end this surviving organization, then he might as well die in a foreign country like this.Going back to Baker Street is just getting in my way.
After Sherlock and Watson left together, Reid murmured, "That's weird."
"What's so strange?" Mrs. Hebe looked at him suspiciously.
"It's Mayday and Mr. Sherlock is still wearing his coat, isn't he hot?" Reid wanted to know.He had seen pictures of Sherlock in the newspapers, no matter how many months it was, Sherlock was always wearing a coat. Reid once had the illusion that Sherlock had a fetish, but now it seems that is not the case at all.
"The person who doesn't show off the Death Star thinks this is his style, so don't worry about him." Mrs. Hebe smiled, "Then how are you going to find Scott?"
Ried lowered his head and looked at the information in his hands: "Obviously, these should all be members of the Ark. Probably on the side of Eve, right? There has been a division within the Ark, so we found out this person based on Mike Strick's clue and the flow of funds. Who is it, the person Scott is looking for should be him. And maybe Scott will find him before us all."
"No." Mrs. Hebe smiled, "There are our spies in this organization, and Scott doesn't have an excellent technician like me, so it's impossible for him to find that little bastard Adam before you. Are you looking forward to it?"
"Expect what?" Reid looked at him suspiciously.
Mrs. Hebe smiled: "I look forward to seeing the expression on Adam's face when Scott finds him after you have dealt with it."
"...I think it might be a horror." Reid whispered.
The reason why Mrs. Hebe is relied on is not without reason.It only took her one day to confirm that Mike and Adam were originally the same person, and his original name was indeed Mike, but the surname was different.And his current residence is in a casino in Las Vegas.
"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Hebe looked at Reid expectantly, he had already surprised her enough.
"Gamble." Reid's eyes were firm.
Reid's so-called gamble was really a gamble. He went home and packed his things, then took some money and flew to Las Vegas.After a brief rest, he stepped into the casino, and then started the first big gamble in his life.
Reid's gambling skills are actually very average, but his calculation ability can be said to be second to none.Moreover, he has a very good mentality, which directly caused him to seldom bargain in the casino, sweeping all the way, and became the focus of the casino in half an afternoon.
Just after Reid won No.17 in a row in the full house, the owner of the casino sent him an invitation.If this continues, the casino will have to close down.
"Long time no see." Miller looked at Reid quietly, there was no surprise in his eyes.
Although he has mixed feelings in his heart, what are Scott and gee doing, and Reid is the first to find this place?Are they all dead?
"Long time no see." Reid also looked quite calm, and he even curled the corners of his lips a little self-deprecatingly, "I thought I could see Mr. Mike."
"Mike?" Miller's reaction to the name was the same as Reid's when they first heard it.
Reid couldn't help laughing: "Maybe I said Adam, you will be more familiar."
"Well, he's my boss." Miller didn't hide it, maybe there was no need to hide it.
"Can I ask two questions?" Reid played with his chips and looked at Miller quite calmly.
Miller narrowed his eyes: "I don't promise to answer."
"Why did you join the Ark?" Reid closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The black muzzle pointed at his head.
"It's none of your business." Miller looked away, "What's the last question?"
"Can I take the money I won here?" Reid opened his eyes, looking at the chips, he said with some distress: "It's the first time I gamble so seriously, if I can't take it away, it would be too inhumane."
Miller stood up quickly, kicking the gun out of the man's hand behind Reid.The trajectory of the bullet was drastically changed, it bounced around the room twice and finally embedded in the table in front of ried. Reid shuddered because of this, and the next second his hand was held down by Miller.
At the same time, he noticed that the things in his hand were taken away without a trace, but Miller's expression was still as cold as ice. Reid's mind turned quickly, and when he understood, he pretended to be pressed on the table, and pressed his face against the table to avoid being seen.He is not an Oscar winner, not as good as Miller can act.
The wall flashed twice and turned into a huge display screen. Adam's magnified face appeared in the middle, and he looked at Miller angrily: "Are you looking for death? What if the bullet rebounds into your heart?"
"Nothing to do." Miller looked at him.
"Why don't you kill this FBI person, now we have attracted their attention." Adam asked him with some dissatisfaction.
Miller threw Reid aside on the ground: "As a bargaining chip with Scott."
Caught off guard, Reid let out a muffled groan when he was thrown out. His head hit the ground and he was a little dizzy, and the scene in front of him was a little blurry.However, the voice that could be heard in his ears was still clear, but the severe pain made it difficult for him to think.
"Is it necessary for us to make a deal with him?" Adam asked disdainfully.
"If you don't think it's necessary, you can kill him now." Miller raised his gun as he spoke.
The author has something to say:
After the full-scale duel chapter, the main text will officially end, and there will probably be a side story, which will probably involve the full-scale duel between Mr. Detective, Reid and Mr. Sheldon [and maybe Uncle House]. Negative five scum, okay...
In the extra episode, there may be the daily life of the little angel Reid and Scott?
Scott has been offline for too long and has not been broken!
So the new article currently has two tentative titles: "Chase's Difficult Survival Manual" from qyx children's shoes and "Don't give up treatment" from Rouwanzi children's shoes, both of which are very good. After that, I will probably post the copywriting tomorrow ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Then take an auspicious day and start digging!
