Fiona climbed up the high tower, and she could almost have a panoramic view of the playground.

"We should have a picnic here." Fiona said to Reid, "The view here is nice."

"Agreed." Reid said.

Just after they spread the picnic cloth on the ground, Fiona suddenly heard a woman's scream from a distance.

"Did you hear that voice?" Fiona asked.

"what sound?"

"Someone's screaming." Fiona stood up when the scream suddenly became clearer.

"...Go away!" a woman screamed.

"It sounds like it's coming from over there." Reid vaguely pointed in a direction.

Probably due to their sense of professional responsibility, the two left the tower and quickly approached the building where the scream came from.

—The cry suddenly disappeared.

"Tell me you're armed." Fiona whispered to Reid.

"I wasn't carrying any weapons other than a table knife," Reid said.

"Oh, great," Fiona said, "I only have nail clippers with me."

They took a quick look at the condition of the building.

The cry just now sounded like it came from the platform on the second floor.So they finally decided to climb up quietly from the wall-shaped building next to them, and then peeked at the situation through the glassless window.

Fiona ran up to the second floor quickly, and she heard Reid calling softly behind her: "Hey, wait for me."

But she didn't stop.

She ran to the window and leaned her back against the wall. Through the window, she saw a man squatting on the ground with his back to her. In front of him lay a motionless woman in a purple woolen coat.

Is that woman dead?

She cursed secretly, then turned around and rushed in through the small door next to her.

When Reid caught up, Fiona was twisting a man's arm and roughly pushing him to the ground.

"What are you doing?!" the man screamed.

"Look how that girl is doing." Fiona said to Reid breathlessly.

Reid walked up to the woman, and after checking her condition, he said: "She just passed out. But there may be a slight concussion. I'll call an ambulance."

"Listen - I didn't do anything! I just pushed her and she tripped over the bricks and fell!" the man cried.

Fiona pinched his cheek, twisting his arm at an even more contorted angle, and the man immediately let out a wail.

"I heard screaming, idiot! You've ruined my date, and I'm in a terrible mood right now. My advice to you, don't waste your time, just tell the truth, understand?" Fiona said dryly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Reid staring at her without blinking.

"Sorry." She smiled awkwardly, "I hate this kind of man who hurts women the most."

"She is my wife, we had a quarrel just now!" The man's eyes had already started to burst into tears, "I didn't mean it! Really! This is where I proposed to her, how could I hurt her here ?For God's sake - I love my wife! Let me see how she hurts, please?"

"Looks like he's telling the truth," Reid said.

Fiona frowned seeing the tearful face of the man, and finally let him go.

"Oh...emily... why did this happen?" the man sobbed and knelt beside his wife.

Hearing Emily's name, Fiona couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"Hey, she'll be fine." She patted the man's shoulder hesitantly. "The ambulance will be here soon. But I want to see your ID before I get there."

The man wiped his tears and handed Fiona his driver's license.

"Okay, Mr. Carlos Schapman." Fiona returned the driver's license to him, "What's your wife's name?"

"Sarah, Sarah Chapman," he said.

"Where's your wife's wedding ring, Mr. Chapman?" Reid asked suddenly.

Fiona also noticed that the woman lying on the ground was not wearing a ring.And chapman wears a man's wedding ring on his finger.

"Oh." Chapman stared at the ring on his finger, "Actually...we are going through divorce."

Fiona and Reid looked at each other, and she knew that Reid was also suspicious.

At this time, the woman suddenly groaned.

Chapman immediately looked tense.

"Hey..." He lowered his head and stroked the woman's hair, "Sarah, how are you feeling?

"You..." the woman said with difficulty, "You... pervert."

"Oh baby," Chapman put his arms around her shoulders, pressing her head against his chest, "I know you're still mad at me."

"Is there something wrong with you?" The woman suddenly pushed him away, she covered her head, "... Shit, I feel like I was kicked in the head by a donkey!"

"Excuse me ma'am, is this Mr. Chapman your husband?" Reid asked.

"Husband? Damn, of course not." The young woman looked at Reid sarcastically, "Do I look like the type to marry?" She pushed the man away and stood up unsteadily, " He pays me, that's all."

"Pay?"

"Oh, I'm a whore!" cried the young woman impatiently. "Now you understand, virgin?"

Reid frowned and muttered something.

"But this damn pervert got me drunk and insisted on taking me to such a ghostly place. God knows what he wants to do!" She said and took out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket.

"What are you doing?" the man asked nervously.

"What else to do, call the police!" she said, starting to call 911.

"No! Don't let my wife know about this!" He yelled and rushed over to try to snatch the woman's cell phone.

But Fiona kicked him in the shin and tripped him to the ground.

"Wait, wait—" he cried in horror, "don't do it! It's a misunderstanding!"

"What misunderstanding?" Fiona asked coldly, while stepping on his back to prevent him from standing up.

"She—she's actually my daughter!" he cried. "Sarah Horan, born on September 1985, [-], your mother's name is Linda Hordan!"

"Wait, how do you know my mother's name?" She put down her phone and asked with a frown.

Chapman put his face to the ground and cried out in dismay: "Her favorite food is pasta, and she likes to watch horror movies best - the catchphrase is 'so cute'! And she died when you were ten years old Yes! Oh, you look exactly like she used to—I guess she never told you who your father was, did she?"

"Wait...are you really my father?" Sarah asked with a frown, swallowing hard.

"That's right!" Chapman pointed to his jacket pocket with difficulty, "I have a paternity test here, do you want to see it?"

Later, it turned out that Sarah was indeed Chapman's daughter.

It turned out that Chapman had been in love with Sarah's mother for a while.He proposed to Sarah's mother in this abandoned playground, but was rejected by the other party because Linda was already engaged to another man at the time.

The most bloody thing is that Chapman, who was rejected, quickly married another woman after returning home, and moved to another city.However, Linda's marriage ended after just one month because Linda's husband found out that she was pregnant and suspected that she had cheated after marriage.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Sarah asked sharply.

"I just want to bring you here and tell you everything." Chapman looked up and said, "I just want you to understand that your mother is the only true love in my life. I really planned to spend my life with her, I It was from this tower that he proposed to her. But who would have thought that God had other plans."

"Oh, shut up!" Sarah said in disgust, "If you really cared about me, you wouldn't come to me at this time! You just bumped into me in a stripper bar and remembered about my mother ?”

"Believe me, Sarah, I really want to fix it!" Chapman explained eagerly, but Sarah didn't listen to him at all.

Soon, the ambulance came.

The father and daughter who had just met got into the ambulance and left.The two of them were still arguing before closing the ambulance door.

Fiona and Reid have not come out of the dramatic scene just now.They watched the ambulance leave, then looked at each other.

"Uh... go back to the picnic?" Fiona asked.

"Of course." Reid said quickly, and at the same time quietly took the hand that was fiddling with the ring out of his pocket.

After the incident just now, he is no longer in the mood to propose marriage - at least not here.

"I just thought he was a pervert trying to hurt young women." Fiona said as she unwrapped a soft drink straw. "You seem more sensible. It seems that not everyone in this job becomes paranoid."

"I just... pay more attention to objective facts." Reid replied.

Fiona turned her head and stared at him, "You look a little listless." She laughed, "Oh, don't let that incident disturb our date, okay?" She patted Reid's knee, "Look Look at this place - it feels like the whole playground is ours. Nothing will bother us."

"Actually—" Reid took a deep breath, "You're right, we shouldn't let that incident spoil the atmosphere of the date."

Fiona noticed that Reid's expression suddenly became serious.

He looked a little... nervous?

—what is he going to do?

Reid looked into Fiona's eyes, then lowered his head and kissed her lips proactively.

Fiona closed her eyes and enjoyed his kiss, and they parted after a few minutes.

At this time, Reid suddenly began to dig out something in his trouser pocket.

oh!Sure enough, he still brought it! Fiona raised her eyebrows and thought.

She wasn't surprised at all, she knew it was impossible for Reid to have never thought of doing that.

"Okay, I'm ready." Fiona shrugged and smiled, and she began to reach out to take off her coat.It was cold, but she could bear it, and they didn't need to be completely naked...

But it wasn't some plastic-wrapped square thing that Reid pulled out of his pocket.

It was a small box with a dark blue velvet shell.

Fiona stared blankly at the box, not realizing what was going on for a moment.Her hands were still on the buttons of her coat—she had almost taken it off to make out.

reid opened the box.

A silver ring studded with diamonds appeared in front of her.

Fiona opened her mouth slightly and looked up into Reid's dark eyes.

She noticed an unshaven stubble on Reid's cheek, so she made up her mind to stare there to divert her attention.Otherwise, she would definitely jump up because of excessive tension.

Reid's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a low voice, "Will you marry me, Fiona?"

The author has something to say: Well, I guess someone will answer for you, fi.deep...
