The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 119 A Gathering with Friends

Richard Cassel is a crime fiction writer.

Writer.

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

Unfortunately.

Beckett hated people saying she was sexy the most, because Beckett wanted to prove that she could be a detective not because of her face, but because of her professionalism.

Cassel smiled hey: "We are best friends, right."

Lake glanced at Cassel: "No help."

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

Lake laughed: "Have you investigated the case of Beckett's mother on your own?"

Cassel was a little dazed: "Did Beckett tell you?"

Lake shook his head: "You are a rich man, please, what else can you do? This is simple reasoning. Great writers, we also rely on reasoning for food."

Although Lake often likes to be simple and crude, there is still a certain basis for reasoning.

Moreover.

He has cheats. When he was on vacation in Europe, Kassel followed the gears of history and met Beckett at a reception who invited him to investigate.

Count the time, and it's time.

Cassell said, "Okay, I can help..."

"No help."

"..."

"I don't get involved in any emotional issues, and..."

Lake directly chose to refuse. Other people's family affairs and relationship issues are private, and Lake hates getting involved. The most important point: "I remember half a month ago, when you came to ask me about the case of Beckett's mother, I I said, don't touch it, why didn't you listen?"

The Spiritual Detective Lake has read it.

but……

Who is Beckett's mother-killing enemy? Lake really can't remember for a while.

and.

Not only Lake, but even George had thought of helping Beckett solve the case, but after getting to know Beckett well, Beckett told the two directly, please don't interfere, she wants her own Come to investigate, it doesn't matter if the time is slow.

Lake and George respected Beckett and immediately nodded.

after that……

Lake and George left the case alone.

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

Lake said to Cassel: "If you really want to help Beckett, apologize to her, sincerely, and she will choose to forgive you. Beckett is a good woman."

Cassel: "..."

From a personal point of view, it is not easy for Lake to refuse Kassel's request.

but……

The ghost knows whether this matter will be because of his intervention, and Beckett, who should have been together in the future, and her husband Kassel, a serious literary writer, will disappear without a trace.

Lake didn't want to take the blame.

Cassell sighed, "Okay, thanks."

Lake smiled and glanced at Cassel: "Believe me, maybe, in the future you will thank me for not intervening in this matter."

Cassel looks to Lake.

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

Cassel looked out the window.

Star Building.

……and many more.

Cassel pulled down the car window and yelled at Lake, "Damn it, it's an hour's journey, and you drove back in less than half an hour. Are you trying to make my ticket into a comic strip?"

The words haven't fallen yet.

A policeman who followed all the way appeared in front of Kassel with a dark complexion: "You, suspected of dangerous driving, get out of the car and walk with us."

Cassel: "..."

the night of the second day.

In a police bar not far from the Star Building.

Three people are drinking.

Lake.

george.

Kassel.

Lake and George clinked glasses and drank it down: "The bourbon in New York is better, and the bourbon in Washington, the taste is indescribable."

George said, "I've seen the report, congratulations."

Lake said thank you.

Cassel's expression on the side was a bit ugly: "Hey, hey, I'm talking about my problem, can you respect me?"

George raised his hand.

Lake sighed and said to Cassel: "I've said it all, don't thank me."

Cassel's mouth twitched: "A fine of two thousand dollars, why should I thank you?"

"Did Beckett go after you?"

"……Yes but……"

"So, you're welcome."

"..."

Cassel took a deep breath, and looked at Lake thoughtfully, with a look of astonishment and disbelief in his eyes.

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

Cassel was dubious: "Really?"

Lake pointed at George: "If you don't believe me, ask George, last year, there was a guy like you who wanted to solve that case, but after Beckett found out, he cut off contact with him completely. What's the guy's name?"

George shook his head: "I forgot too, and later I heard that he was transferred to the countryside."

"New Jersey?"

"Correct."

"..."

Daily milk New Jersey achievement completed.

Lake and George clinked glasses again, and Cassel regained his composure and joined in.

The three drank in one go.

Since Kassel caught up with Beckett, Kassel, who is also familiar with the police officers, knows that in some specific bars, you may not see any police uniforms, but the number of police officers is occupy the most.

and so.

When Beckett had no cases, Cassel would go to police bars all over New York to drink and listen to the police's gossip stories to enrich his database.

The three of them were sitting in a booth at the bar, drinking and chatting.

Lake felt the rare peace.

It feels good.

Drinking wine with two friends, chatting, bragging and spanking.

only……

talking and talking.

Lake's expression changed.

The style of chatting seems to be crooked.

Lake came back to his senses, and his expression became more and more weird. Hearing George and Kassel's experience of adopting a daughter and the taboos on their daughter's love, he couldn't help coughing: "Hey, hey, the style of painting is crooked."

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

Lake was expressionless: "Do you think I can get involved in the content of the chat between the two of you?"

damn it.

Is it great to have a daughter?
It's not like I haven't.

Catherine, female, 12 years old, race, vampire... no, vampire.

only……

She is a daughter, but her race is different, and she cannot achieve the same brain waves.

Lake opened his mouth and shook his head: "It's hard for me to take a break. By the way, you don't plan to talk about some topics that I can get involved in?"

This kind of friend is so annoying.

I can't even chat, I might as well go home and drink by myself.

George thought for a while, and said to Lake, "Then let's talk about that little loli from last time?"

Lake suddenly looked at George speechlessly.

Cassel became interested and asked George, "Let's hear what's going on."

Lake interrupted: "There is nothing to say."

George didn't care, and directly told Kassel the story of Skye and Lake touching each other at the corner.

Cassel seemed to think of something, and looked at Lake: "On that day, an ambulance stopped downstairs?"

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

Again.

The Xingchen Building is full of rich people, and considering the construction time of the Xingchen Building, it is obvious that some rich people are getting old, and it is very common for an ambulance to come once a month.

There is an elevator in the building, which was approved by the building committee's resolution, and it is specially used as an elevator for ambulances.

Cassel saw Lake: "What about the little loli after that?"

It should be no adoption.

Cassell felt that if Lake adopted, he should know.

Lake said, "I ran away by myself."

Oh yes.

Will see if Skye gets adopted into a good foster family tomorrow.

If the two of them didn't mention it, Lake would have almost forgotten about it. After all, he and Skye had some predestined relationship, and there was nothing going on these few days, so it's okay to care a little bit.

Cassel frowned and looked at Lake: "I remember, you said that you like your daughter very much."

Lake was expressionless: "So?"

Cassel shrugged: "I think George's proposal is quite good. In this way, the three of us can take them on a trip together if we have the opportunity."

George nodded: "That's a good idea."

Lake rolled his eyes: "Hehe, you all just want me to play with you. You think beautifully. Even if I am willing to adopt, the child protection agency will not be willing. I am single, remember?"

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

George shook his head: "I haven't heard of this regulation. Besides, I also read the information on that Skye later. His parents are gone. If you want to adopt, you only need to get a stamp from the municipality."

Lake blinked: "Is adoption so simple?"

This is not right.

Lake remembered that when he was five years old, when he was taken home by Karen and Thaddeus, it took almost half a month to go just for 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 and that little girl are quite destined, don't you?"

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Adopt Skye?

In the future, I will be able to break off the adoptive father of the Great Demon King of Earth?

interesting.

but……

After thinking about it for a while, Lake shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, I even need the housekeeping company to send someone to clean my house, so forget about adopting a child."

If Lake hadn't been rich, he wondered if he would be able to do a good job of hygiene.

and……

Adoption costs a lot.

And it's a single man who adopted a little loli, so there will be a lot of gossip.

just forget it.

Lake weighed it up, and decisively gave up on this idea.

George and Cassel looked 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 seemed to ring after another.

even……

George's phone rang too.

……
