Chapter 5 Rose Mystery 05

"Haley... stay the fuck away from me!"

Ian exerted all his strength, his back jumped up, he suddenly turned over, and pushed Haili out.

Haili stood up with a smile and rubbed his chin, "Hmm! This is the Uncle Ian I know! It's really amazing! Even in the most unfavorable environment, he can turn defeat into victory! The trick I just made Study hard!"

"Next time, which murderer do you want to imitate, you can find anyone to play with you, but don't come to me again." Ian said every word, his voice was not loud but had a certain deterrent effect.

"As I said, I always think about victims. This is what you call the 'unique' way of investigating cases."

"It's none of my business."

Ian returned to the room and closed the door.

Through the door, he did not forget to remind the other party, "I like to sleep with a gun in my hand. If you come in rashly, don't blame me for blowing your head off!"

"Come on, Ian..." Haili made a very aggrieved voice.

Ian covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and decided to sleep well.He didn't need another second of his life to be wasted on Hayley Russell.

The next day, after Ian enjoyed the richest breakfast in his life so far, he saw Hailey in a black suit and black-rimmed glasses.

"Why are you looking at me? Is it because of this custom-made suit?" Hailey asked with a smile.

The long-term combat exercised Ian's ability to assess the opponent's combat strength by observing his figure.

Just like Haili at the moment, even though he is wearing a well-fitting suit, he exudes a neat and capable temperament.Between the wrapped long legs, a certain kind of explosive power was faintly brewing.Ian had no doubt that if this guy kicked out, ordinary people would probably fly out.

"Have you had any special training?"

"Of course, everything you have accepted." Haili came to Ian's table and ate breakfast unhurriedly, "Since returning to the Russell family, the old man was afraid that I would have another accident, so Hired a bunch of people to teach me different self-defense techniques. Like shooting, fighting, and survival in the wild. Do you want to try it?"

Ian shook his head with a smile, "No need, Agent Russell, I already experienced it last night."

Ian still remembers how Hailey pressed his elbow on his shoulder last night.

"Well, that's a pity. We're going to be driving for a long time today, so leave your car here."

"Is there no car in the bureau?"

"My car is better. 360-degree bulletproof, and it's still driving in polar weather."

Haley's car was an SUV, and Ian had to admit that it felt great, had a great clutch, and was the best car he'd ever driven.

Haili sat in the co-pilot's seat, lowered his head, and shook out the newspaper.Most of his attention is on the financial pages and current political news.

Ian felt lucky to not be able to talk to Hailey.Because once this guy opened his mouth, he felt like being led by the nose.

After driving for more than two hours, they came to a gas station.Ian went down to buy a cup of coffee, and said to Hailey who was still flipping through the newspaper: "Hey, you can start the next paragraph! I'm a little tired."

Although Ian has a longer concentration than ordinary people, he really can't understand Hailey's noble son.

"Okay." Hailey put away the newspaper and looked at Ian, "Do you have any questions you want to ask me?"

The heart seemed to be knocked, and Ian drank the coffee inadvertently, "Should I ask you any questions?"

Even if I ask, you won't give me the real answer.

Haili smiled, and many people in the gas station had already looked over.

He has too outstanding appearance.This good skin kept him from dying in the hands of the "hunter" and confused Ian.Including those passers-by now.

Ian felt the complicated sights around him, got up and walked back to the car: "Have a good rest, let's go."

The two went on the road again, and there were similar scenery on both sides of the road.

The town in the distance loomed, but Haili suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Ian asked with narrowed eyes.

Hailey opened the car window and raised his chin, revealing his beautiful neckline.

"Did you smell that, Ian?"

"What?" Ian just wanted to get to town as soon as possible, they had already missed lunch time.

"I smell roses."

Ian exhaled forcefully, "Haley, now is not the time to joke."

He knew that Haley had always been fond of things with thorns, such as cacti in the desert, such as the thorns used as the Russell family crest.This guy even gave himself a large bouquet of white roses, which seemed to Ian as one of Haley's ways of mocking himself.

"I'm not joking." Haili simply opened the car door and walked towards the dense forest beside the road.

Ian had an urge to leave this guy behind.

But when Haili's figure disappeared into the forest bit by bit, he seemed to see 15-year-old Haili, wearing clothes made of yellowed white linen, with bare feet full of scars, wandering in the shadows of trees.

"Damn it." Ian slammed the car door and followed.

They walked in the woods for nearly 20 minutes, except for trees or trees.Well, occasionally a few wild rabbits or something can be seen.

Hailey has been walking in the forefront, occasionally stopping, raising his head, looking at the sky above the treetops, like a devout pilgrim.

"That's enough, Haley. There's nothing here, so let's get in the car and go to town."

"Shhh—" Hailey turned around and put his index finger between his lips.

Well, the guy can do whatever he wants.

The three young men were already dead and didn't care how long the wait was.

Ian followed Haili and walked for about 10 minutes. They saw a lake, reflecting the clouds that were constantly rendering and flowing in the sky. It was silent, as if a hundred years of loneliness was just a moment for it.

On the other side of the lakeshore is an open field, among the rocks is the ruins of a large mansion.

The ruins are like wandering tombstones.The sun slanted down and fell on the unsharp top. After a turning point, it returned to the ground.

A canoe is parked on the lake.Haley beckoned to Ian.

For the first time, Ian was grateful for the patience he had developed as a sniper, otherwise he would have blown Haley's beautiful head off by now.

The wood pulp across the water, stirring the silent sky in the lake.

When they walked to the shore of the lake, they realized that behind the ruins was a large area of ​​pure white roses.

They are densely packed, bending their bodies gracefully, breaking the shackles of space, and blooming arrogantly.

Here is a secret place that has never been visited.

Ian took a deep breath, the fragrance of roses was refreshing.

"I told you, I smelled the aroma of roses." Haili leaned against a wall and closed his eyes comfortably.

It is very mysterious here, and people can't help but imagine what the ruins are?Why are there so many roses here?Who planted them?

"Who are you! How did you come here!"

Displeased scolding sounds came from afar.

Hailey and Ian followed the sound and saw a young man in a plaid shirt and jeans walking towards them.

Ian is still not used to it, and Hailey has already taken out his badge like in the TV series.

"Sorry, we're FBI agents."

It was a handsome, well-educated man in his 20s.After hearing that they were federal agents, his expression was much more relaxed.

"Are you here to investigate the cause of the death of those three people in the town? This is a private property, and it's deep in the woods. How did you find it?"

Ian didn't intend to speak, and Haili would just leave this situation to him.

"Oh... private property... so you are the owner of this rose? My partner and I drove all the way here from New York. We were a little tired, so we wanted to take a walk in the woods. It's just that we lost our way and walked Walking along, I came to the lake and saw this ruin. It looks like a historic site, and we are very curious, so... if I offend you, we are very sorry."

Hailey already has an excellent appearance and elegant conversation, coupled with a sincere tone, no one will not accept it, even though he has no truth in his mouth.

"So that's it. Hello, I'm Lawrence Camporam. This ruin is where my ancestors came from England to the American continent. It has a very long history. But it still belongs to Campo From the Ram family." Sure enough, there was a lot less hostility in Lawrence's smile.

"How did it become a ruin?" Hailey asked curiously.

"Because of the fire. After the fire, the Camporam family moved to the current town of W."

"Then what about these white roses?"

"It should have been planted by the owner at the time."

"...So, these roses have a longer history than me."

"Haha, yes. You seem to like Bai Qiangwei very much?"

Hailey lowered his body and met Lawrence's eyes, "Not only like it, but even obsessively fascinated."

At that moment, something seemed to gush out of Haley's eyes, screaming silently, struggling and confusion pouring out, Lawrence gasped.The feeling of weightlessness spread all over his body, and at the moment when he was about to fall, someone supported him steadily from behind.

It's Ian.

"Lawrence, would you mind taking us back on the road? I'm a little worried about our car."

"Ah... oh, no problem!"

Lawrence turned and walked towards the canoe. Ian came to Hailey and lowered his voice, "Listen to me, stop playing messy tricks."

"I'm not playing tricks."

"You didn't play tricks, what did you bring me here for!"

"Don't you think these white roses are beautiful?"

"Even if I think these roses are beautiful, so what? What does this have to do with the case in the town?"
