Mr. Siren [Comprehensive British and American]

In the evening, Triton still made an excuse to push the group dinner to the hotel where BAU lived. The distance between the two places can’t be said to be very far. It takes more than half an hour to drive there. When he arrived, the hotel was just about to have dinner—the hotel owner felt sick today. Yes, we prepared delicious seafood risotto and vegetable soup to entertain the guests. We also prepared a big pot of baked pumpkin with cheese, and added a big bowl to everyone with great enthusiasm.

Triton arrived at just the right time, the room was filled with the smell of food, the boss added a chair for him, he smiled and waved his hand and said that he had eaten, "I just came to deliver something." He put the cake he was carrying on the On the table, "It's extra from the crew's dinner, let's eat it as a supper."

This time Triton came and went in a hurry, put down the cake and chatted for a while and then left. It was raining outside the door, and the waiting car didn't even turn off the engine, obviously knowing that he would not stay for long.

The cake on the table was wrapped in a simple cardboard box, the simplest combination of cream and sponge cake, but the sweetness was just right with some refreshing fruit pieces in it, and the taste was not inferior to those big-name cakes.

In the case of dizziness from working late into the night after a meal, taking a 10-minute break to eat a small piece of cake is definitely a treat.

Today BAU is very busy with work. They went to the police station to dig up the materials of the case more than 30 years ago-this is not an easy matter. I spent a whole day in the reference room of the police station to study which piece of paper was in the file.

The case of more than 30 years ago did not go through any careful investigation. The police station at that time was as understaffed as it is now. Even the salvage of the corpses was done by volunteers from the town. Reid had to spend another half of the night researching what was written.

The autopsy report did not leave any valuable records. When the deceased was salvaged, the body was gnawed to pieces by fish. At that time, the research on skeletons had just started, so a few items in the report were considered closed.

It can be said that Reid's entire day was almost completely wasted by these meaningless materials.

In the middle of the night, the hotel owner brought him a cup of steaming coffee and asked casually, "Are you looking at the case of the dead man 30 years ago?"

"Hmm." Reid responded subconsciously, and asked, "Do you know any news about this matter?"

"It's not really understanding." The boss sat on the sofa opposite Reid. Old people always like to recall the past, and he doesn't mind talking about the past with young people.

"I was about [-] or [-] years old, and I was in a relationship with Sally, my wife. Sally's brother was fine and liked to go to the lake with his group of children in the middle of the night. It was normal for us. Everyone He grew up by the lake, but that day he didn't come back very late, Sally was very worried, so she came to me and asked me to see if something happened to him."

He said and sighed, "I searched for them for a long time that day but couldn't find them. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything. I thought they had gone home, but I didn't expect..."

He paused for a while, and then said: "Sally's brother was found early the next morning. He was almost frozen, a little delirious and talking nonsense. When Sally and I went to see him, he Injured from the attack." Rolling up his sleeves, the innkeeper said, with a deep scar on his arm, "Sally's brother couldn't answer the police's questions, and it took us a long time to get the body out of the lake Come on, autopsy was not popular at that time, and the family members were very opposed to it, and there was no professional forensic doctor in the town, so the case was quickly closed."

"What happened after that?" Reid asked, "I heard that the gentleman seemed to have had an accident later."

"It's an unfortunate accident." The innkeeper nodded, "Sally's younger brother has been fond of fishing since he was a child. After what happened to him, he prefers to go to the lake. He said that fishing can calm him down and stop thinking about those things. , No one thought that he would die in the lake like that." He was a little excited as he spoke, his eyes flushed and he seemed to be unable to control himself, "Sally was also heartbroken because of his accidental death, and she has been in poor health since then."

"I'm sorry." Reid said, and reached out to pat the innkeeper's hand. It was a pair of old people's hands. Sporadic age spots had already appeared, but they were not shriveled. They were still strong and broad, showing a full sense of power.

"It's okay." The innkeeper took a deep breath to adjust his breathing, "I've let go of it after so many years." He stood up and said as he walked out the door, "You should go back to rest early, too late at night, right Poor health."

"...Okay." Reid responded lightly, thought for a while and dialed Garcia's number.

BabyGirl from BAU is a standard night owl. It's early eleven o'clock and it's not long before she goes to bed. The phone rang twice before she was answered.

"Garcia Nightline is at your service, what do you need my little cutie?"

"I need you to check..." Reid flipped through the materials and reported the date and address, "Please help me check the weather here on this day, especially after nightfall."

"Hmm, are you going to catch the lake monster?" Garcia asked with a smile.

"No, according to the records, the lake monster is a creature with a thick and long tail like a fish, more than two meters long, sharp teeth and claws, like an amphibious frog and a giant snake under the sea. I suspect they mistook the school of freshwater fish for some large fish monster because the night was too dark and there was no light, otherwise the fish would never have this appearance no matter how long they grow."

Schools of freshwater fish will chase the light and capsizing the boat is not out of the question.

"Ok, I'll get back to you soon." Garcia replied, "I'll let you know when I have some news."

"Thank you." Reid said, turning over two more pages of information.

"At your service anytime~" Garcia laughed, and hung up the phone with his own pom-pom-embellished pen.

Ten minutes later, Reid received her message that there was a small problem with the database of the Meteorological Bureau, and the information may not be delivered to him until tomorrow. Reid looked at the clock that was going to 10:11, packed up the materials and prepared to go back first. rest.

The small living room is connected to the big living room. The big living room was still lit when Reid went out. The hotel owner was sitting on the sofa with the radio in his arms in a daze. Seeing Reid coming out, he nodded to him and asked him to take a can of hot milk back. Drinking, "good for sleep", said the old man.

When walking past the old man, Reid heard a lazy and light jazz song playing on the radio. The singer's voice was magnetic, but it also brought a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

"This song..." Reid asked hesitantly, "Who sang it?"

"A band in the past." The old man replied, "I forgot the name. When I was young, it seemed to be very popular, and this song was everywhere, but now it is estimated that only our old radio stations that cannot keep up with the times will play it." gone."

"Is that so..." Reid nodded and didn't bother with the matter any more.

When I went upstairs, I happened to see Noel Wright put the bat that flew in yesterday on the window sill and wanted it to fly away, but this little creature seemed to know how to stay here to eat, drink and sleep, so it drove it out and flew back again, see Reid flew over and jumped on him, tossing Noel Wright into a temper, "You little thing!" He cursed, but put it into the box very gently with his hands.

There is no mistake in the previous writing, the bat "sees" Reid coming, in fact, it is not an ordinary bat that can hit Reid's window on a stormy night, just like how could Triton put his human beings so safely There may be dangerous places.

This is a young vampire less than [-] years old. As the first embrace of the old housekeeper, he has been trained as the next housekeeper, although sometimes Triton thinks that its heartless character is more suitable for a vampire who does not need to use his brain. bodyguard.

And the first independent task he received in so many years was to sneak into this hotel to secretly protect his master's partner, Dr. Reid, to prevent him from being hurt by those stupid and reckless non-human beings that might exist.

But he couldn't get close to Dr. Reid at all, and was hugged back by Noel Wright, a guy who was stupider than him.

That's right, stupider than him!

After decades of being together day and night, they still haven't realized that the old man who treats him like his own father is not human, what is not stupid.

A certain young bat who was adopted at the age of ten and didn't find out that his adoptive father was a vampire until he received his first embrace proudly puffed out his chest.

Then it was locked in a box by Noel Wright and brought back to the room.

Reid opened the milk and took a sip. The steaming water was really suitable for drinking before going to bed. After drinking a can, his whole body warmed up, and he fell into a deep sleep after lying peacefully on the bed.

In his deep sleep, he didn't know that someone quietly opened the door of his room and watched him for a long, long time through the crack of the door.

The light from outside the window came in, reflecting a tall and sturdy figure, with several spikes protruding from the ears, hanging from a translucent substance, shaking in the air, like the fins of a fish.

--------------------------------

Triton's ear fins trembled, the beautiful part of the hollow soft bones supporting the light blue translucent fine scales was soaked in the water and trembled, the gills behind the ears released a long string of small bubbles, and the tail rested on the side of the bathtub for a while. Da Wuyi tapped the water, his eyes half-closed, not sure if he was asleep or thinking about something.

Earlier today, some subordinates sent news that they saw the traces of Adaro in the Western Pacific Ocean, but they only saw a trace from a distance, and the gray and white bright like diamonds were fleeting, leaving a large piece of foam on the sea.

He is too weak to bear the pressure brought by the deep sea, so he can only swim all the way to his hometown in the shallow sea. No matter what happened during his life, he will return to his hometown with his human beings after death. This is the tradition of the sea monsters.

Just like how many years later, Triton will bring his humans back to the Aegean Sea from the United States, and they will melt into foam in the sea of ​​their hometown just like when they were born.

Then the tide turned and never parted.

"Sir, it's time." The old butler reminded at the door, the sea monster stood up from the water, and casually put on a bathrobe.

"Then go meet our old friend," he said, stepping barefoot on the soft carpet.

He had to come back early today for a meeting he had to attend in person.

Gee.
