Chapter 41 Quantico (24)
"The situation must have been very dangerous. Those hounds, although I hate to think about what they usually eat, they must be the most vicious dogs in the world! Morgan, tell me how you punched the vicious dogs at that time , kicked the guards? I can’t wait to admire your heroism!" Garcia saw Morgan and the others return safely, and got the list of buyers and sellers of the living people killing club, as well as various evidences. The boulder was finally released, so I became interested to hear what Morgan said about the earth-shattering things that happened at that time.
At that time, Morgan and Lin Ning came to the most important place of the club in the dark, and blasted away the four guards guarding the gate with a "sedation gun", but Garcia saw a group of creatures that were obviously not humanoid on the screen, Moving quickly in their direction.Garcia, who was already highly nervous, also thought of the small bosses that would appear in horror movies such as ghosts and ghosts, but was reminded by Dr. Reed, who talked about science, that they were hunting dogs raised by the club.
Garcia had been a little confused about what happened next, so that's why she couldn't wait to ask Morgan now.
Morgan had a delicate expression: "Garcia."
Garcia put his face in his hands: "Yeah."
Morgan spread his hands and said, "I didn't do anything."
Garcia: "??"
Garcia: "Then what happened at that time? I only saw them moving towards you crazily from the surveillance screen, and then stopped moving when they were a few meters away from you, but I didn't hear your gunshots." .”
Morgan followed Garcia's words and recalled the scene at that time.
To be honest, those hounds look even more terrifying under the night vision goggles, especially because they are raised by the club. The usual "dog food" is self-evident, and the club usually doesn't Feed them, and often even make them hungry, so that when they smell the smell of living people, in order to survive, they will exert super fighting power, which is much lower than fighting in the dark The guards are ten times harder to deal with, especially if they are a group.
Morgan clenched the gun in his hand at that time, tilted his head slightly and asked Lin Ning: "What should we do?"
Lin Ning: "Wait for me."
Morgan: "??"
Morgan turned to look at her subconsciously, and didn't know what she took out. Then Morgan didn't sense anything, and the group of fierce hunting dogs passed out in a moment as if they were strangled by the neck out of thin air. Completely lost fighting power.
Morgan: "???"
Breeder: "???"
Lin Ning stuffed back the thing he took out casually: "It's a little thing, if you want to hear the principle, I can tell you in detail."
Morgan: "...No need."
Morgan finished recalling, because he didn't know what kind of gadget it was in the end, so now he tells Garcia about the scene at that time, he can only say: "There is a gadget over there, which made the group of hounds lose consciousness."
Garcia didn't wait for the next text, and said disappointedly: "That's it? As promised, you are possessed by the god of war, and you will kill all directions?"
Morgan: "...This is really not there."
Garcia didn't dislike her handsome chocolate guy because of this. After thinking about it, she patted Morgan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you are still the most powerful handsome chocolate guy in my mind. What a loss."
Morgan felt a little warmer.
But Garcia thought of something: "Wait, why do I remember that Emilia killed more guards with bare hands than you? Is her skill particularly strong?"
Morgan: "..." pierced sweetheart.
However, Morgan didn't find it difficult. From his point of view, his skills were already at the upper-middle level, especially in the BAU where he could win the first place, and someone like Lin Ning was not normal, okay?Furthermore, it was precisely because of that girl's super performance that their operation was so smooth this time. It can be said that they exchanged zero casualties for the killing club to be wiped out from within.
And, as far as they currently know the identities of several club guests, this transnational case has just begun. After all, Morgan has seen too many powerful people. After committing a crime, with the help of a lawyer , and under the manipulation of various relationships behind them, they can all be acquitted under conclusive evidence, or just pay a fine, or if they really can’t escape, they choose political asylum or other methods, and immigrants go to A country that allows them to continue with impunity.
The facts are exactly as Morgan expected.
As soon as the Slovakian killing club was exposed, it caused an uproar all over the world.As the guardian of the world, the United States naturally does its part to get involved at this time, but in the information of both the buyer and the seller of the club, the nationality is American, and there are also many "guests" who have a certain social status in the United States, and the richest of them The most powerful is the chairman of the Manson Real Estate Development Group, Edward Manson.
This Mr. Manson is not only a multi-millionaire, his group also provides political donations to candidates of a certain party all the year round, and the family also has some heritage.When this incident was exposed, Mr. Manson did not panic at all. He was even in the office, leisurely waiting for the FBI to come to his door, while his legal team was already in full swing.
Coincidentally, the candidate supported by Edward Manson was Senator Gibson.Although Senator Gibson loves his daughter so much that he and his wife had a little joke recently, his approval rate among ordinary people is not low, and he is expected to enter the White House in the next presidential election.
"I can't believe it. There must be some kind of misunderstanding!" Mr. Senator was unbelievable when he first heard about this incident. In his opinion, Edward Manson was not only his supporter, but also his best friend. .They have known each other for ten years. The usual Edward Manson is gentle and gentle. He is very affectionate with his wife and loves his own two children. At the same time, he is invincible in the business world. In just over 20 years, it will be just a small matter The so-called Manson design has been pushed to the point where it is a huge real estate group today.Such a successful person who is a winner in life and career, what reason does he have to do that kind of dehumanizing thing?
"Of course it's for pleasure," Lin Ning said in Garcia's office, listening to the senator's puzzlement from the surveillance video, "Speaking of which, Edward Manson's biggest reliance is our lovely senator? "
Garcia suddenly became excited: "I understand your expression. Tell me, my dear, what do you want to do to stimulate our senator? I think it's best to subvert his three views. Do you want to join forces with that perverted Edward Manson?"
Lin Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "I do have a good idea."
When Senator Gibson saw the unhurried Edward Manson, a mobile phone in an evidence bag appeared on the interrogation table at some point, and this mobile phone rang just after the Senator stepped into the interrogation room.Mr. Senator glanced at it subconsciously, but was stunned.
It turned out that his daughter's passport photo appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, as well as a starting price tag. At the bottom of the screen was an input box and a countdown to the auction time.
Mr. Senator: "!!"
"what is this?"
Rossi, who was in charge of the interrogation, said naturally: "This is our technical staff cracking the information of the buyers and sellers of the Slovak Living Human Massacre Club, and sending them the list of the next batch of prey they originally prepared to track the specific location of the buyer. Evidence."
Rossi also belatedly said: "Oh, this is Mr. Manson's personal mobile phone."
The senator understood in an instant that his daughter and her friends had lost track of them when they went to Slovakia. Of course, they have returned safely, but judging by the current situation, she was almost murdered!The senator immediately turned into a tyrannosaurus rex, and stared coldly at Edward Manson, whose expression became a little nervous: "I ask you, if the matter hadn't been exposed at that time, would you have recognized me again?" After the baby girl, tell me about this so that I can save her?"
Edward Manson said without hesitation: "Of course!"
The senator stared at Edward Manson for ten seconds: "You pervert!" After speaking, he walked away, as if he didn't intend to be Edward Manson's backing anymore.
Edward Manson: "!"
Rossi and Hodge exchanged a knowing look.
In the Kingdom of Garcia, Garcia said indignantly: "I am not a profiler, and I can tell that Edward Manson is lying. If it really comes to that time, he will definitely choose to be wise and protect himself, no, maybe he will really Taking pictures of the Senator's daughter, but not to save her, but to kill her with his own hands. God, just thinking about it makes me feel that Edward Manson deserves to die."
Lin Ning said abruptly, "There won't be that time."
Garcia: "??"
Lin Ning replied: "Actually, Miss Gibson and her companions were just having fun and forgot to contact their family. They were not lured to the town where the club is located." This could be considered a false alarm.
Garcia: "That?" She pointed to the screen.
Lin Ning smiled slightly: "I think Senator Gibson's three views have been completely subverted, what do you think?" Strictly speaking, Mr. Senator was offended, and Edward Manson didn't know that Miss Gibson was Not the next batch of auctioneers, and Mr. Senator will only be grateful that his daughter survived the disaster. Who cares if this is fabricating false evidence?Of course, this is not fabricating false evidence. Regarding Edward Manson's participation in the massacre of living people, there is ironclad evidence.What's more, the chairman of the real estate development group is facing prosecution not only for the brutal killings he committed in the club, but also for him and the San Francisco Police Department's deputy sheriff, deputy coroner, sushi chef Jiro Ono, and the old principal. Two murders co-perpetrated by photographer Gary Craiger.
Garcia thought about it, and then thought it was the most enjoyable way. After all, Edward Manson would have one less reliance, and the chances of him being able to pay the corresponding price for what he did suddenly increased a lot.This thought made Garcia feel a lot better. She stared at Edward Manson, who still looked handsome in the surveillance video, and said, "Fortunately, I used to buy financial magazines with him on the cover. You know, I am right." I am not interested in finance and economics at all. And among those multi-millionaires, who knows if they have a bit of obscenity behind their backs? So next time if that magazine asks the chairman of NEMESIS to be on the cover, I will definitely support it. Buy ten copies of it and come back, she is a clear stream in the executive world!"
Lin Ning: "..."
Garcia suddenly thought that Lin Ning was next to her, and her eyes lit up: "Emilia, Morgan and the others all said that you can see your chairman, so can you reveal a little bit about her? Tell me what she admires the most. Any system is fine, no, the system used by her computer is also self-created, right?"
Lin Ning: "...um." It was so close that Lin Ning thought they knew something. After all, Garcia used "she" to refer to the chairman of NEMESIS.But after thinking about it, she figured out why Garcia used "she"—even though she didn't say anything about Chairman NEMESIS in the Wilmington bomb case, her words and deeds would still reveal something, and BAU members But the most elite profilers.
Speaking of this, Lin Ning couldn't help recalling the whole story of the Slovak Living Human Massacre Club case, and when she finished thinking about it, she couldn't help but let out a "huh".
The unconscious Garcia asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Ning said calmly: "It's nothing, I just think Garcia can save you the money to buy magazines."
Garcia: "??" She didn't understand very well.
So after Lin Ning left the FBI, he took the time to ask Morgan, who had not been transferred by the special investigation team, and Emily, "Emilia said that the chairman of NEMESIS will not be in the magazine. Why do you think she never appeared in the magazine?" Not showing up in public?"
Morgan and Emily looked at each other, and finally Morgan asked: "Are you talking about the chairman of NEMESIS? Or Emilia?"
Garcia didn't know why: "Of course I mean the former."
Morgan raised her eyebrows: "I don't know, maybe she just doesn't want to."
Garcia pouted: "What's the reason?"
Emily cleared her throat and said: "Then you can also understand it as a quirk of being a rich man. After all, any multimillionaire these days doesn't have a little quirk, and he is ashamed to call himself a multimillionaire." Amy As Li spoke, she lowered her head and sorted out the case files on her desk, without going to visit Garcia, who had a strong thirst for knowledge.
Garcia looked at Morgan, and Morgan shrugged: "I'm not rich, and I can't profile it properly if you ask me."
Garcia was dubious: "Really?"
Rhett raised his head to say something, but was stopped by Emily's eyes.
Rhett flattened his mouth, but he didn't insist on saying what he wanted to say.
Garcia looked around: "I always feel that you guys are hiding something from me."
Morgan put his arms around his chest and said truthfully: "Seriously, have you ever wondered why Emilia called Gideon 'Daddy'?"
Garcia's attention was immediately diverted, and he winked at Morgan: "Morgan, is this implying something?"
Morgan smiled and said nothing, and the topic about the chairman of NEMESIS was just brought up. After Garcia returned to Garcia Kingdom, Emily quietly said to Morgan: "When do you think Garcia will realize that the chairman of NEMESIS , there is a great possibility right in front of her eyes?"
Morgan rubbed his chin and said, "When this thought came up, I was taken aback, let alone Garcia."
Emily nodded to express the same feeling: "I think Hodge and Rosie have already noticed it, and JJ has also noticed it. And Dr. Reed, when did you have this idea?"
Reid thought for a while and said: "I later recalled that when she said that NEMESIS could persuade overseas military bases to conduct weapon demonstrations, her attitude at that time was as if she could fully represent NEMESIS, and I realized that her position in NEMESIS was not only It’s as simple as a high-level.”
Morgan and Emily were also aware of this incident, but they didn't tell the truth. When Garcia asked just now, they didn't say it clearly, and they even talked about him a little bit.On the one hand, through this period of contact, their perception of Lin Ning is not bad, and they are not so sure, so the best way is to decide to respect the privacy of the other party, when they are not aware of this; on the other hand, They also want to see when Garcia can see it.
Emily took out five dollars: "I guess a month."
Morgan immediately became dissatisfied: "Hey, my sweetheart is not that dull, okay?"
Emily raised her eyebrows: "Then how long do you think, Morgan?"
Morgan took out ten dollars: "Three months."
Emily: "Cut."
Rhett was not interested in this matter, and silently ate his nougat.
As for Morgan and Emily's bet?
A month has passed, and Garcia never asked anything about the chairman of NEMESIS, as if she only had 3 minutes of enthusiasm for the mysterious chairman of NEMESIS, and when the "3 minutes" passed, she turned to be attracted by other characters The same goes for attention.
Emily: "?"
Morgan: "??" That's not right.
At this time, the case of the Slovak living massacre club has come to an end.Originally, Lin Ning and Morgan obtained the member lists of buyers and sellers from the club at that time, as well as a lot of video and audio materials. It can be said that the evidence is solid, but the problem lies in other aspects.Powerful people like the one mentioned above want to escape the law, and the Slovakian government is annoyed that this has been widely publicized.
Of course, this is not to say that the Slovakian government supports the massacre club, but as soon as the incident of the massacre club happened, the tourism industry of their country was dealt a fatal blow, not only the tourism industry of Slovakia, but also the surrounding countries including Poland, Switzerland, Austria and other countries. Even the entire European tourism industry ushered in the cold season early.For some European countries where tourism is one of the mainstays of their economies, the loss of euros is enough to make them less positive about the whole thing.
There are also certain countries that, despite the pressure of public opinion, will also accept executioners who have taken refuge with money. There is also the "big brother" of the United States, and it is not possible to be a "big brother" everywhere. There are certain countries Do not eat this set.
But for Lin Ning, who has been paying attention to the development of the situation, it is "you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder".
NEMESIS is now an international group. Although it is headquartered in the United States, it has already crossed national boundaries. The medical supplies and high-tech products developed by NEMESIS have "spread" to the world. At the same time, it has also opened the way with military products. The military of some countries has cooperated.Although it has developed to the present, it is not as good as the umbrella company that used to cover the sky with one hand, but now NEMESIS still has a certain right to speak when it wants to do something.
Under such circumstances, NEMESIS adopted the decision to establish NEMESIS branches in Siberia and Central Europe, in exchange for many participating prisoners being repatriated to their original places and no longer enjoying political asylum.Of course, this kind of transaction will not be made public, and even if this kind of thing is told, the media will not believe it.
Let them say something, say that the NEMESIS chairman is an international vigilante?
Just look at the rapid development of NEMESIS, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it, okay?
Anyway, the transactions between NEMESIS and some countries are going on quietly. Except for the parties involved, no one has linked NEMESIS's presence in Siberia and Central Europe with the case of the Slovak Living Massacre Club.
It is worth mentioning that NEMESIS is not simply taking advantage of it.The establishment of branches in Siberia and Central Europe was carefully considered by Lin Ning and the White Queen, which will help them further open up the Russian and European markets. What's more, Central Europe has suffered "trauma" now. It is undoubtedly a good time for NEMESIS to settle in at this time.So even if NEMESIS will make a corresponding retreat in order to make those executioners pay the corresponding price, in general, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Back to Quantico, Emily and Morgan's bet has passed for a month, and Garcia has never asked about the chairman of NEMESIS. Emily gave Morgan five dollars.
Then wait for Morgan's three months.
Just because the Slovakian killing club case came to an end, the special investigation team established by the FBI was disbanded. Hodge and Rossi also returned to the BAU, and the BAU entered their previous daily life in full swing.Everyone was going around like before, and there was no extra entertainment, and Lin Ning hadn't appeared in Quantico since this big transnational case. Maybe she came to visit Gideon, but they all missed the meeting, gradually Morgan and Emily forgot about the bet.
As soon as the time turned, it was Christmas Eve.
As December enters, the atmosphere of Christmas gradually rises on the streets, especially in shopping malls.The Christmas tree decorated early in the shopping mall, all kinds of Christmas items are put out, the small lanterns are set up on the street, there are Christmas songs flying everywhere, and there are various Christmas warm-up activities, I don’t know Santas out of nowhere, even the FBI put up a Christmas tree in the reception hall a few days before Christmas.
It's just that criminals don't concentrate on celebrating Christmas. Perhaps on the contrary, the family atmosphere of Christmas will stimulate some criminals even more. Therefore, BAU is still busy solving cases on Christmas Eve. However, as a lecturer of the college, Gideon There is still a normal Christmas holiday, but he did not get together with his family for Christmas. He has never had this before, but he will spend it with his lover Sarah in recent years, but Sarah suffered a "human bone wind chime" "The Killer" Frank, and Gideon has been more of a loner ever since.
As for this year?
"What hat should I choose? Stars? Angels? Bows? Big snowflakes? This is what I chose according to the list after looking at the statistics of Christmas tree hats. I have never celebrated Christmas like this before, and it feels quite fresh." Lin Ning took Looking at the Christmas tree decorations she bought, she asked Gideon who was sitting on the sofa not far away, and she didn’t lie. She spent Christmas with the White Queen in the past, but she didn’t spend Christmas with other people like this However, it seems that she cut down this Christmas tree from the mountain herself.
Gideon: "...how did you come?"
Lin Ning took it for granted, "I want to come."
"Let's choose the star." Lin Ning ignored Gideon who said he was upright, and put the star in his hand on the top of the Christmas tree.Of course Gideon didn't want to be honest, otherwise he could have kept the door open when she knocked, stopped her when she went to cut the Christmas tree, and kept her from telling her the circuit when she hung the fairy lights on the branches outside. Where (she could find it herself, of course), and even chased her away while she was tinkling around the house decorating the Christmas tree... Anyway, Gideon had a lot of opportunities, but he didn't do anything, so Lin Ning just ignored his words.
At this time, they were in Gideon's vacation house on a mountain in the outskirts. The outside was decorated with small colored lights, the fireplace inside the house was burning, and the warm orange light was projected outside the house. The holiday house that doesn't come here very often has become popular from the inside to the outside, even gingerbread men are baked in the oven in the kitchen, which makes the air smell sweet and smoky.
Lin Ning gently moved his nose: "Dad, I think the gingerbread man is better."
Gideon put down the book in his hand, walked towards the kitchen, and glanced at Lin Ning: "I hope you didn't do anything else."
Lin Ning said frankly: "I think the two of us may have different definitions of 'superfluous things'. Oh, if you mean this place in the wild mountains, there will be people who don't rest on Christmas If it’s a criminal, then I really can’t guarantee it. But then again, if this kind of thing really happens, it should be because I feel a headache.”
She summed it up slightly grandiosely: "Look how lucky I am. God, I really hope Santa Claus will give me a gift with a disaster effect."
Gideon: "..."
Anyway, Lin Ning just kept going on and on, and there was the White Queen.Standing on Lin Ning's cell phone, the White Queen discussed with Lin Ning how to decorate the classic Christmas tree with various data. By the way, Lin Ning instructed Lin Ning how to decorate the pine tree cut from the back mountain to match the decoration style of the house. Complementing each other, who made Lin Ning always perfect in this respect.
After Lin Ning took out the wrapped presents and put them under the Christmas tree, the White Queen said to her, "Someone is coming up the mountain."
Lin Ning glanced at Gideon, who was busy cooking in the kitchen not far away, and the monitor installed next to the kitchen. She thought that Gideon might know that there would be other guests today without looking at the monitor.So he didn't say anything now, and Lin Ning took him as acquiescing, so she looked at the screen of her mobile phone and found that it was Morgan driving up, with Rhett sitting in the passenger seat, and in the back seat. Garcia, and Emily drove a car alone.
"It seems that they have successfully resolved the case at hand."
White Queen: "It's not surprising. After all, there are seven of them, and they are a team that collaborates with each other."
Lin Ning: "We are also an inseparable team."
The White Queen: "Yes."
After the four people who came over arrived at the door, Lin Ning walked over to open the door for them, and the warm orange light poured out, accompanied by the sweet smell of gingerbread and the heating with the smell of pine, which made Rhett and the others look pale. Soften up.
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas~" Garcia stepped forward and gave Lin Ning a hug, "Honey, your clothes are very cute."
Lin Ning wore a classic red and green Christmas sweater with a Santa Claus knitted on it. She laughed when she heard this: "One of my family members knitted it by myself." Not so personally, because this is the White Queen Command the machine to weave, but rounding it up is equivalent to weaving by hand.
Garcia was taken aback: "I didn't know Gideon could knit."
Morgan: "!"
Rhett: "!"
Emily: "!"
Fortunately, they reacted immediately, and Lin Ning didn't need to explain, just said: "Gideon is cooking in the kitchen, come in quickly."
They also somewhat rejected Gideon's cooking. After all, in their hearts, Gideon was something to be seen from a distance and not to be played with.
no……
He is an admirable boss, but as Hodge said when Gideon chose to leave BAU completely, "Even though I have worked with Gideon for many years, I still don't know what he thinks", they can't understand Gideon. Dean, I feel that Gideon is not so approachable. Cooking like this himself seems to be more down-to-earth than they think.
What's more down-to-earth is that Gideon is still wearing an apron with a Christmas atmosphere. After being filtered by the heat, he looks like a kind old father that can be seen everywhere, and this impression disappears when Gideon walks over .Gideon is still the original Gideon, but today is Christmas Eve, the atmosphere is also very good, everyone should let go.
Not long after, Rosie also came over.
Hodge didn't come, and he and his son went to the house of his ex-wife Hailey.After the Boston Butcher case, the two of them seem to have a tendency to get back together after suffering together ('Boston Butcher' Foyet originally wanted to do evil again, but unfortunately, before he approached Hodge, 'what a coincidence ' met Lin Ning, the result is self-evident).
Likewise, JJ spent Christmas with her boyfriend and said she couldn't make it.
Therefore, those who celebrate Christmas in this holiday home are all single dogs exuding fragrance, and the single dogs smiled at each other, "Merry Christmas!"
Before waiting for the Christmas dinner enough for seven people to be delivered from the restaurant, Lin Ning received a call from Andrew. She went to the French window to answer it, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Andrew say: "My mother saw you A Christmas present, let me call you and thank you."
Lin Ning sighed: "On Christmas Eve, you are allowed to say what you mean, Andrew. So you can tell me that you want to say 'Merry Christmas' to me yourself."
Andrew: "Does what you say conform to the social rules in the popular sense?"
Lin Ning: "Merry Christmas to you too."
Andrew: "..."
In the house, Gideon and Rossi, former colleagues, chatted about the days when BAU was not called BAU, but BSU; Rhett was sitting next to him holding the book Gideon was reading. Ten lines at a glance; and Emily and Morgan, the two of them looked at each other and cornered Garcia.
Morgan asked first: "Penelope, I think it's better for you to take the initiative to explain."
Garcia opened his mouth: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Emily said sharply: "Talking about him from left to right, eyes twinkling, my dear, what are you hiding from us? Let me think about it, you have been uncomfortable since you said you were going to come to Gideon for Christmas. Jidi En won't make you so uncomfortable, so it has something to do with Emilia?"
Garcia puffed up: "I hate profilers."
Morgan laughed, "No, you love us."
"Okay," Garcia gave up her resistance. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you know who the chairman of NEMESIS is, but I do. Emilia told me. I know this It's unbelievable, I didn't expect Emilia to be the chairman of NEMESIS, and I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that you know it's a secret, Emilia is my friend, I have to stand for my Friends keep secrets, right?"
Morgan: "..."
Emily: "...how long have you known?"
Garcia covered his mouth and let it go: "It's been a few months, not long after the Slovakian killing club case."
Emily: "..."
Morgan: "...so you already knew?"
Garcia nodded like a pounding garlic: "Well, wait, what is 'also'? You already knew it? Why didn't you tell me?"
Emily and Morgan squint at her, and Garcia capitulates: "Okay, we're even?"
This is the only way to go, but Morgan is a little depressed. He really didn't expect Garcia to hide it from him, and he could hide it for so long without him noticing.In addition, he didn't expect that Lin Ning would take the initiative to tell Garcia, but after thinking about it, it can be said that she really regarded Garcia as a friend by doing so. With the status of WQ, it is no wonder that Garcia would try his best to hide it. Long.But does the chairman of NEMESIS know that they have figured it out?
Chairman NEMESIS ended the call with Andrew at this moment. She felt that even Santa Claus might not be able to save this guy's dead duck with a stubborn mouth, which is a bit uncute.
Just as she was thinking about it, the White Queen projected it from the phone screen: "Emilia, it's snowing outside."
This is very appropriate.
What's more appropriate is that the White Queen, who used to wear a white dress, has now changed her projected attire according to the program, and has become the same Christmas sweater as Lin Ning, with a red Santa Claus hat on her head. The program was rewritten by Lin Ning himself. It can also be said that the two of them gave each other the same gift.
Lin Ning was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from behind. After recognizing that it was Garcia's footsteps, Lin Ning turned around after thinking for a while, but the White Queen's projection did not disappear, nor did it disappear. That is to say, Garcia, who revealed his friend's secret, ran into the Christmas artificial intelligence, the White Queen, head-on.
Garcia said incoherently: "You, you, I—" She didn't know where to put her fingers, and her eyes were wide open.
The slyness in Lin Ning's eyes flashed, and she made a "shh" movement.
But the White Queen seemed to have a tacit understanding, and said politely to the dumbfounded Garcia: "Hello, Penelope Garcia."
Garcia waved his hand mechanically: "Hello."
Lin Ning followed suit and said, "Dear Garcia, we are friends, right?"
Garcia: "..." This is not what she wanted for Christmas!No, it was beyond her imagination, and a wonderful Christmas present!But this is not, my God, she is going to split! !
So Morgan and Emily saw a Garcia that was half volcano, half ice water.No, it was Garcia who was obviously suppressing her excitement, but she had a sad face, and when the two of them looked over, she put on a serious face of "don't look at me, don't look at me".
Morgan: "??"
Emily: "??" What the hell happened again?
They all went to see the other party, Lin Ning looked very composed, and she even reached out to them again.Everyone knew what this gesture meant. Morgan and Emily shook hands, expressing their re-acquaintance, but it was still tacit.
The atmosphere was still very harmonious. Before the Christmas dinner ordered from the restaurant arrived, Morgan suggested with a smile, "Why don't we play games?"
Emily proposes: "Truth or Dare?"
Garcia said without thinking, "No!"
After she finished speaking, she realized that she was too sensitive, so she quickly remedied: "We have to take care of Gideon and Rossi, why don't we play Werewolf?"
Gideon looked nonchalant.
Rossi: "..." He knows the game, okay?
Lin Ning looked at the phone, and there was a reminder from the White Queen on it. It was a reminder from her after watching the surveillance video at the foot of the mountain. This reminder made Lin Ning very helpless. What did the criminal think this time? , Do you think that the wilderness can kill the Quartet?After slandering, Lin Ning raised his head and asked the FBI agents in a circle: "Have you ever played officers and soldiers catching robbers?"
At that time, Morgan and Lin Ning came to the most important place of the club in the dark, and blasted away the four guards guarding the gate with a "sedation gun", but Garcia saw a group of creatures that were obviously not humanoid on the screen, Moving quickly in their direction.Garcia, who was already highly nervous, also thought of the small bosses that would appear in horror movies such as ghosts and ghosts, but was reminded by Dr. Reed, who talked about science, that they were hunting dogs raised by the club.
Garcia had been a little confused about what happened next, so that's why she couldn't wait to ask Morgan now.
Morgan had a delicate expression: "Garcia."
Garcia put his face in his hands: "Yeah."
Morgan spread his hands and said, "I didn't do anything."
Garcia: "??"
Garcia: "Then what happened at that time? I only saw them moving towards you crazily from the surveillance screen, and then stopped moving when they were a few meters away from you, but I didn't hear your gunshots." .”
Morgan followed Garcia's words and recalled the scene at that time.
To be honest, those hounds look even more terrifying under the night vision goggles, especially because they are raised by the club. The usual "dog food" is self-evident, and the club usually doesn't Feed them, and often even make them hungry, so that when they smell the smell of living people, in order to survive, they will exert super fighting power, which is much lower than fighting in the dark The guards are ten times harder to deal with, especially if they are a group.
Morgan clenched the gun in his hand at that time, tilted his head slightly and asked Lin Ning: "What should we do?"
Lin Ning: "Wait for me."
Morgan: "??"
Morgan turned to look at her subconsciously, and didn't know what she took out. Then Morgan didn't sense anything, and the group of fierce hunting dogs passed out in a moment as if they were strangled by the neck out of thin air. Completely lost fighting power.
Morgan: "???"
Breeder: "???"
Lin Ning stuffed back the thing he took out casually: "It's a little thing, if you want to hear the principle, I can tell you in detail."
Morgan: "...No need."
Morgan finished recalling, because he didn't know what kind of gadget it was in the end, so now he tells Garcia about the scene at that time, he can only say: "There is a gadget over there, which made the group of hounds lose consciousness."
Garcia didn't wait for the next text, and said disappointedly: "That's it? As promised, you are possessed by the god of war, and you will kill all directions?"
Morgan: "...This is really not there."
Garcia didn't dislike her handsome chocolate guy because of this. After thinking about it, she patted Morgan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, you are still the most powerful handsome chocolate guy in my mind. What a loss."
Morgan felt a little warmer.
But Garcia thought of something: "Wait, why do I remember that Emilia killed more guards with bare hands than you? Is her skill particularly strong?"
Morgan: "..." pierced sweetheart.
However, Morgan didn't find it difficult. From his point of view, his skills were already at the upper-middle level, especially in the BAU where he could win the first place, and someone like Lin Ning was not normal, okay?Furthermore, it was precisely because of that girl's super performance that their operation was so smooth this time. It can be said that they exchanged zero casualties for the killing club to be wiped out from within.
And, as far as they currently know the identities of several club guests, this transnational case has just begun. After all, Morgan has seen too many powerful people. After committing a crime, with the help of a lawyer , and under the manipulation of various relationships behind them, they can all be acquitted under conclusive evidence, or just pay a fine, or if they really can’t escape, they choose political asylum or other methods, and immigrants go to A country that allows them to continue with impunity.
The facts are exactly as Morgan expected.
As soon as the Slovakian killing club was exposed, it caused an uproar all over the world.As the guardian of the world, the United States naturally does its part to get involved at this time, but in the information of both the buyer and the seller of the club, the nationality is American, and there are also many "guests" who have a certain social status in the United States, and the richest of them The most powerful is the chairman of the Manson Real Estate Development Group, Edward Manson.
This Mr. Manson is not only a multi-millionaire, his group also provides political donations to candidates of a certain party all the year round, and the family also has some heritage.When this incident was exposed, Mr. Manson did not panic at all. He was even in the office, leisurely waiting for the FBI to come to his door, while his legal team was already in full swing.
Coincidentally, the candidate supported by Edward Manson was Senator Gibson.Although Senator Gibson loves his daughter so much that he and his wife had a little joke recently, his approval rate among ordinary people is not low, and he is expected to enter the White House in the next presidential election.
"I can't believe it. There must be some kind of misunderstanding!" Mr. Senator was unbelievable when he first heard about this incident. In his opinion, Edward Manson was not only his supporter, but also his best friend. .They have known each other for ten years. The usual Edward Manson is gentle and gentle. He is very affectionate with his wife and loves his own two children. At the same time, he is invincible in the business world. In just over 20 years, it will be just a small matter The so-called Manson design has been pushed to the point where it is a huge real estate group today.Such a successful person who is a winner in life and career, what reason does he have to do that kind of dehumanizing thing?
"Of course it's for pleasure," Lin Ning said in Garcia's office, listening to the senator's puzzlement from the surveillance video, "Speaking of which, Edward Manson's biggest reliance is our lovely senator? "
Garcia suddenly became excited: "I understand your expression. Tell me, my dear, what do you want to do to stimulate our senator? I think it's best to subvert his three views. Do you want to join forces with that perverted Edward Manson?"
Lin Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "I do have a good idea."
When Senator Gibson saw the unhurried Edward Manson, a mobile phone in an evidence bag appeared on the interrogation table at some point, and this mobile phone rang just after the Senator stepped into the interrogation room.Mr. Senator glanced at it subconsciously, but was stunned.
It turned out that his daughter's passport photo appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, as well as a starting price tag. At the bottom of the screen was an input box and a countdown to the auction time.
Mr. Senator: "!!"
"what is this?"
Rossi, who was in charge of the interrogation, said naturally: "This is our technical staff cracking the information of the buyers and sellers of the Slovak Living Human Massacre Club, and sending them the list of the next batch of prey they originally prepared to track the specific location of the buyer. Evidence."
Rossi also belatedly said: "Oh, this is Mr. Manson's personal mobile phone."
The senator understood in an instant that his daughter and her friends had lost track of them when they went to Slovakia. Of course, they have returned safely, but judging by the current situation, she was almost murdered!The senator immediately turned into a tyrannosaurus rex, and stared coldly at Edward Manson, whose expression became a little nervous: "I ask you, if the matter hadn't been exposed at that time, would you have recognized me again?" After the baby girl, tell me about this so that I can save her?"
Edward Manson said without hesitation: "Of course!"
The senator stared at Edward Manson for ten seconds: "You pervert!" After speaking, he walked away, as if he didn't intend to be Edward Manson's backing anymore.
Edward Manson: "!"
Rossi and Hodge exchanged a knowing look.
In the Kingdom of Garcia, Garcia said indignantly: "I am not a profiler, and I can tell that Edward Manson is lying. If it really comes to that time, he will definitely choose to be wise and protect himself, no, maybe he will really Taking pictures of the Senator's daughter, but not to save her, but to kill her with his own hands. God, just thinking about it makes me feel that Edward Manson deserves to die."
Lin Ning said abruptly, "There won't be that time."
Garcia: "??"
Lin Ning replied: "Actually, Miss Gibson and her companions were just having fun and forgot to contact their family. They were not lured to the town where the club is located." This could be considered a false alarm.
Garcia: "That?" She pointed to the screen.
Lin Ning smiled slightly: "I think Senator Gibson's three views have been completely subverted, what do you think?" Strictly speaking, Mr. Senator was offended, and Edward Manson didn't know that Miss Gibson was Not the next batch of auctioneers, and Mr. Senator will only be grateful that his daughter survived the disaster. Who cares if this is fabricating false evidence?Of course, this is not fabricating false evidence. Regarding Edward Manson's participation in the massacre of living people, there is ironclad evidence.What's more, the chairman of the real estate development group is facing prosecution not only for the brutal killings he committed in the club, but also for him and the San Francisco Police Department's deputy sheriff, deputy coroner, sushi chef Jiro Ono, and the old principal. Two murders co-perpetrated by photographer Gary Craiger.
Garcia thought about it, and then thought it was the most enjoyable way. After all, Edward Manson would have one less reliance, and the chances of him being able to pay the corresponding price for what he did suddenly increased a lot.This thought made Garcia feel a lot better. She stared at Edward Manson, who still looked handsome in the surveillance video, and said, "Fortunately, I used to buy financial magazines with him on the cover. You know, I am right." I am not interested in finance and economics at all. And among those multi-millionaires, who knows if they have a bit of obscenity behind their backs? So next time if that magazine asks the chairman of NEMESIS to be on the cover, I will definitely support it. Buy ten copies of it and come back, she is a clear stream in the executive world!"
Lin Ning: "..."
Garcia suddenly thought that Lin Ning was next to her, and her eyes lit up: "Emilia, Morgan and the others all said that you can see your chairman, so can you reveal a little bit about her? Tell me what she admires the most. Any system is fine, no, the system used by her computer is also self-created, right?"
Lin Ning: "...um." It was so close that Lin Ning thought they knew something. After all, Garcia used "she" to refer to the chairman of NEMESIS.But after thinking about it, she figured out why Garcia used "she"—even though she didn't say anything about Chairman NEMESIS in the Wilmington bomb case, her words and deeds would still reveal something, and BAU members But the most elite profilers.
Speaking of this, Lin Ning couldn't help recalling the whole story of the Slovak Living Human Massacre Club case, and when she finished thinking about it, she couldn't help but let out a "huh".
The unconscious Garcia asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Ning said calmly: "It's nothing, I just think Garcia can save you the money to buy magazines."
Garcia: "??" She didn't understand very well.
So after Lin Ning left the FBI, he took the time to ask Morgan, who had not been transferred by the special investigation team, and Emily, "Emilia said that the chairman of NEMESIS will not be in the magazine. Why do you think she never appeared in the magazine?" Not showing up in public?"
Morgan and Emily looked at each other, and finally Morgan asked: "Are you talking about the chairman of NEMESIS? Or Emilia?"
Garcia didn't know why: "Of course I mean the former."
Morgan raised her eyebrows: "I don't know, maybe she just doesn't want to."
Garcia pouted: "What's the reason?"
Emily cleared her throat and said: "Then you can also understand it as a quirk of being a rich man. After all, any multimillionaire these days doesn't have a little quirk, and he is ashamed to call himself a multimillionaire." Amy As Li spoke, she lowered her head and sorted out the case files on her desk, without going to visit Garcia, who had a strong thirst for knowledge.
Garcia looked at Morgan, and Morgan shrugged: "I'm not rich, and I can't profile it properly if you ask me."
Garcia was dubious: "Really?"
Rhett raised his head to say something, but was stopped by Emily's eyes.
Rhett flattened his mouth, but he didn't insist on saying what he wanted to say.
Garcia looked around: "I always feel that you guys are hiding something from me."
Morgan put his arms around his chest and said truthfully: "Seriously, have you ever wondered why Emilia called Gideon 'Daddy'?"
Garcia's attention was immediately diverted, and he winked at Morgan: "Morgan, is this implying something?"
Morgan smiled and said nothing, and the topic about the chairman of NEMESIS was just brought up. After Garcia returned to Garcia Kingdom, Emily quietly said to Morgan: "When do you think Garcia will realize that the chairman of NEMESIS , there is a great possibility right in front of her eyes?"
Morgan rubbed his chin and said, "When this thought came up, I was taken aback, let alone Garcia."
Emily nodded to express the same feeling: "I think Hodge and Rosie have already noticed it, and JJ has also noticed it. And Dr. Reed, when did you have this idea?"
Reid thought for a while and said: "I later recalled that when she said that NEMESIS could persuade overseas military bases to conduct weapon demonstrations, her attitude at that time was as if she could fully represent NEMESIS, and I realized that her position in NEMESIS was not only It’s as simple as a high-level.”
Morgan and Emily were also aware of this incident, but they didn't tell the truth. When Garcia asked just now, they didn't say it clearly, and they even talked about him a little bit.On the one hand, through this period of contact, their perception of Lin Ning is not bad, and they are not so sure, so the best way is to decide to respect the privacy of the other party, when they are not aware of this; on the other hand, They also want to see when Garcia can see it.
Emily took out five dollars: "I guess a month."
Morgan immediately became dissatisfied: "Hey, my sweetheart is not that dull, okay?"
Emily raised her eyebrows: "Then how long do you think, Morgan?"
Morgan took out ten dollars: "Three months."
Emily: "Cut."
Rhett was not interested in this matter, and silently ate his nougat.
As for Morgan and Emily's bet?
A month has passed, and Garcia never asked anything about the chairman of NEMESIS, as if she only had 3 minutes of enthusiasm for the mysterious chairman of NEMESIS, and when the "3 minutes" passed, she turned to be attracted by other characters The same goes for attention.
Emily: "?"
Morgan: "??" That's not right.
At this time, the case of the Slovak living massacre club has come to an end.Originally, Lin Ning and Morgan obtained the member lists of buyers and sellers from the club at that time, as well as a lot of video and audio materials. It can be said that the evidence is solid, but the problem lies in other aspects.Powerful people like the one mentioned above want to escape the law, and the Slovakian government is annoyed that this has been widely publicized.
Of course, this is not to say that the Slovakian government supports the massacre club, but as soon as the incident of the massacre club happened, the tourism industry of their country was dealt a fatal blow, not only the tourism industry of Slovakia, but also the surrounding countries including Poland, Switzerland, Austria and other countries. Even the entire European tourism industry ushered in the cold season early.For some European countries where tourism is one of the mainstays of their economies, the loss of euros is enough to make them less positive about the whole thing.
There are also certain countries that, despite the pressure of public opinion, will also accept executioners who have taken refuge with money. There is also the "big brother" of the United States, and it is not possible to be a "big brother" everywhere. There are certain countries Do not eat this set.
But for Lin Ning, who has been paying attention to the development of the situation, it is "you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder".
NEMESIS is now an international group. Although it is headquartered in the United States, it has already crossed national boundaries. The medical supplies and high-tech products developed by NEMESIS have "spread" to the world. At the same time, it has also opened the way with military products. The military of some countries has cooperated.Although it has developed to the present, it is not as good as the umbrella company that used to cover the sky with one hand, but now NEMESIS still has a certain right to speak when it wants to do something.
Under such circumstances, NEMESIS adopted the decision to establish NEMESIS branches in Siberia and Central Europe, in exchange for many participating prisoners being repatriated to their original places and no longer enjoying political asylum.Of course, this kind of transaction will not be made public, and even if this kind of thing is told, the media will not believe it.
Let them say something, say that the NEMESIS chairman is an international vigilante?
Just look at the rapid development of NEMESIS, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it, okay?
Anyway, the transactions between NEMESIS and some countries are going on quietly. Except for the parties involved, no one has linked NEMESIS's presence in Siberia and Central Europe with the case of the Slovak Living Massacre Club.
It is worth mentioning that NEMESIS is not simply taking advantage of it.The establishment of branches in Siberia and Central Europe was carefully considered by Lin Ning and the White Queen, which will help them further open up the Russian and European markets. What's more, Central Europe has suffered "trauma" now. It is undoubtedly a good time for NEMESIS to settle in at this time.So even if NEMESIS will make a corresponding retreat in order to make those executioners pay the corresponding price, in general, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Back to Quantico, Emily and Morgan's bet has passed for a month, and Garcia has never asked about the chairman of NEMESIS. Emily gave Morgan five dollars.
Then wait for Morgan's three months.
Just because the Slovakian killing club case came to an end, the special investigation team established by the FBI was disbanded. Hodge and Rossi also returned to the BAU, and the BAU entered their previous daily life in full swing.Everyone was going around like before, and there was no extra entertainment, and Lin Ning hadn't appeared in Quantico since this big transnational case. Maybe she came to visit Gideon, but they all missed the meeting, gradually Morgan and Emily forgot about the bet.
As soon as the time turned, it was Christmas Eve.
As December enters, the atmosphere of Christmas gradually rises on the streets, especially in shopping malls.The Christmas tree decorated early in the shopping mall, all kinds of Christmas items are put out, the small lanterns are set up on the street, there are Christmas songs flying everywhere, and there are various Christmas warm-up activities, I don’t know Santas out of nowhere, even the FBI put up a Christmas tree in the reception hall a few days before Christmas.
It's just that criminals don't concentrate on celebrating Christmas. Perhaps on the contrary, the family atmosphere of Christmas will stimulate some criminals even more. Therefore, BAU is still busy solving cases on Christmas Eve. However, as a lecturer of the college, Gideon There is still a normal Christmas holiday, but he did not get together with his family for Christmas. He has never had this before, but he will spend it with his lover Sarah in recent years, but Sarah suffered a "human bone wind chime" "The Killer" Frank, and Gideon has been more of a loner ever since.
As for this year?
"What hat should I choose? Stars? Angels? Bows? Big snowflakes? This is what I chose according to the list after looking at the statistics of Christmas tree hats. I have never celebrated Christmas like this before, and it feels quite fresh." Lin Ning took Looking at the Christmas tree decorations she bought, she asked Gideon who was sitting on the sofa not far away, and she didn’t lie. She spent Christmas with the White Queen in the past, but she didn’t spend Christmas with other people like this However, it seems that she cut down this Christmas tree from the mountain herself.
Gideon: "...how did you come?"
Lin Ning took it for granted, "I want to come."
"Let's choose the star." Lin Ning ignored Gideon who said he was upright, and put the star in his hand on the top of the Christmas tree.Of course Gideon didn't want to be honest, otherwise he could have kept the door open when she knocked, stopped her when she went to cut the Christmas tree, and kept her from telling her the circuit when she hung the fairy lights on the branches outside. Where (she could find it herself, of course), and even chased her away while she was tinkling around the house decorating the Christmas tree... Anyway, Gideon had a lot of opportunities, but he didn't do anything, so Lin Ning just ignored his words.
At this time, they were in Gideon's vacation house on a mountain in the outskirts. The outside was decorated with small colored lights, the fireplace inside the house was burning, and the warm orange light was projected outside the house. The holiday house that doesn't come here very often has become popular from the inside to the outside, even gingerbread men are baked in the oven in the kitchen, which makes the air smell sweet and smoky.
Lin Ning gently moved his nose: "Dad, I think the gingerbread man is better."
Gideon put down the book in his hand, walked towards the kitchen, and glanced at Lin Ning: "I hope you didn't do anything else."
Lin Ning said frankly: "I think the two of us may have different definitions of 'superfluous things'. Oh, if you mean this place in the wild mountains, there will be people who don't rest on Christmas If it’s a criminal, then I really can’t guarantee it. But then again, if this kind of thing really happens, it should be because I feel a headache.”
She summed it up slightly grandiosely: "Look how lucky I am. God, I really hope Santa Claus will give me a gift with a disaster effect."
Gideon: "..."
Anyway, Lin Ning just kept going on and on, and there was the White Queen.Standing on Lin Ning's cell phone, the White Queen discussed with Lin Ning how to decorate the classic Christmas tree with various data. By the way, Lin Ning instructed Lin Ning how to decorate the pine tree cut from the back mountain to match the decoration style of the house. Complementing each other, who made Lin Ning always perfect in this respect.
After Lin Ning took out the wrapped presents and put them under the Christmas tree, the White Queen said to her, "Someone is coming up the mountain."
Lin Ning glanced at Gideon, who was busy cooking in the kitchen not far away, and the monitor installed next to the kitchen. She thought that Gideon might know that there would be other guests today without looking at the monitor.So he didn't say anything now, and Lin Ning took him as acquiescing, so she looked at the screen of her mobile phone and found that it was Morgan driving up, with Rhett sitting in the passenger seat, and in the back seat. Garcia, and Emily drove a car alone.
"It seems that they have successfully resolved the case at hand."
White Queen: "It's not surprising. After all, there are seven of them, and they are a team that collaborates with each other."
Lin Ning: "We are also an inseparable team."
The White Queen: "Yes."
After the four people who came over arrived at the door, Lin Ning walked over to open the door for them, and the warm orange light poured out, accompanied by the sweet smell of gingerbread and the heating with the smell of pine, which made Rhett and the others look pale. Soften up.
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas~" Garcia stepped forward and gave Lin Ning a hug, "Honey, your clothes are very cute."
Lin Ning wore a classic red and green Christmas sweater with a Santa Claus knitted on it. She laughed when she heard this: "One of my family members knitted it by myself." Not so personally, because this is the White Queen Command the machine to weave, but rounding it up is equivalent to weaving by hand.
Garcia was taken aback: "I didn't know Gideon could knit."
Morgan: "!"
Rhett: "!"
Emily: "!"
Fortunately, they reacted immediately, and Lin Ning didn't need to explain, just said: "Gideon is cooking in the kitchen, come in quickly."
They also somewhat rejected Gideon's cooking. After all, in their hearts, Gideon was something to be seen from a distance and not to be played with.
no……
He is an admirable boss, but as Hodge said when Gideon chose to leave BAU completely, "Even though I have worked with Gideon for many years, I still don't know what he thinks", they can't understand Gideon. Dean, I feel that Gideon is not so approachable. Cooking like this himself seems to be more down-to-earth than they think.
What's more down-to-earth is that Gideon is still wearing an apron with a Christmas atmosphere. After being filtered by the heat, he looks like a kind old father that can be seen everywhere, and this impression disappears when Gideon walks over .Gideon is still the original Gideon, but today is Christmas Eve, the atmosphere is also very good, everyone should let go.
Not long after, Rosie also came over.
Hodge didn't come, and he and his son went to the house of his ex-wife Hailey.After the Boston Butcher case, the two of them seem to have a tendency to get back together after suffering together ('Boston Butcher' Foyet originally wanted to do evil again, but unfortunately, before he approached Hodge, 'what a coincidence ' met Lin Ning, the result is self-evident).
Likewise, JJ spent Christmas with her boyfriend and said she couldn't make it.
Therefore, those who celebrate Christmas in this holiday home are all single dogs exuding fragrance, and the single dogs smiled at each other, "Merry Christmas!"
Before waiting for the Christmas dinner enough for seven people to be delivered from the restaurant, Lin Ning received a call from Andrew. She went to the French window to answer it, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Andrew say: "My mother saw you A Christmas present, let me call you and thank you."
Lin Ning sighed: "On Christmas Eve, you are allowed to say what you mean, Andrew. So you can tell me that you want to say 'Merry Christmas' to me yourself."
Andrew: "Does what you say conform to the social rules in the popular sense?"
Lin Ning: "Merry Christmas to you too."
Andrew: "..."
In the house, Gideon and Rossi, former colleagues, chatted about the days when BAU was not called BAU, but BSU; Rhett was sitting next to him holding the book Gideon was reading. Ten lines at a glance; and Emily and Morgan, the two of them looked at each other and cornered Garcia.
Morgan asked first: "Penelope, I think it's better for you to take the initiative to explain."
Garcia opened his mouth: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Emily said sharply: "Talking about him from left to right, eyes twinkling, my dear, what are you hiding from us? Let me think about it, you have been uncomfortable since you said you were going to come to Gideon for Christmas. Jidi En won't make you so uncomfortable, so it has something to do with Emilia?"
Garcia puffed up: "I hate profilers."
Morgan laughed, "No, you love us."
"Okay," Garcia gave up her resistance. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you know who the chairman of NEMESIS is, but I do. Emilia told me. I know this It's unbelievable, I didn't expect Emilia to be the chairman of NEMESIS, and I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that you know it's a secret, Emilia is my friend, I have to stand for my Friends keep secrets, right?"
Morgan: "..."
Emily: "...how long have you known?"
Garcia covered his mouth and let it go: "It's been a few months, not long after the Slovakian killing club case."
Emily: "..."
Morgan: "...so you already knew?"
Garcia nodded like a pounding garlic: "Well, wait, what is 'also'? You already knew it? Why didn't you tell me?"
Emily and Morgan squint at her, and Garcia capitulates: "Okay, we're even?"
This is the only way to go, but Morgan is a little depressed. He really didn't expect Garcia to hide it from him, and he could hide it for so long without him noticing.In addition, he didn't expect that Lin Ning would take the initiative to tell Garcia, but after thinking about it, it can be said that she really regarded Garcia as a friend by doing so. With the status of WQ, it is no wonder that Garcia would try his best to hide it. Long.But does the chairman of NEMESIS know that they have figured it out?
Chairman NEMESIS ended the call with Andrew at this moment. She felt that even Santa Claus might not be able to save this guy's dead duck with a stubborn mouth, which is a bit uncute.
Just as she was thinking about it, the White Queen projected it from the phone screen: "Emilia, it's snowing outside."
This is very appropriate.
What's more appropriate is that the White Queen, who used to wear a white dress, has now changed her projected attire according to the program, and has become the same Christmas sweater as Lin Ning, with a red Santa Claus hat on her head. The program was rewritten by Lin Ning himself. It can also be said that the two of them gave each other the same gift.
Lin Ning was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from behind. After recognizing that it was Garcia's footsteps, Lin Ning turned around after thinking for a while, but the White Queen's projection did not disappear, nor did it disappear. That is to say, Garcia, who revealed his friend's secret, ran into the Christmas artificial intelligence, the White Queen, head-on.
Garcia said incoherently: "You, you, I—" She didn't know where to put her fingers, and her eyes were wide open.
The slyness in Lin Ning's eyes flashed, and she made a "shh" movement.
But the White Queen seemed to have a tacit understanding, and said politely to the dumbfounded Garcia: "Hello, Penelope Garcia."
Garcia waved his hand mechanically: "Hello."
Lin Ning followed suit and said, "Dear Garcia, we are friends, right?"
Garcia: "..." This is not what she wanted for Christmas!No, it was beyond her imagination, and a wonderful Christmas present!But this is not, my God, she is going to split! !
So Morgan and Emily saw a Garcia that was half volcano, half ice water.No, it was Garcia who was obviously suppressing her excitement, but she had a sad face, and when the two of them looked over, she put on a serious face of "don't look at me, don't look at me".
Morgan: "??"
Emily: "??" What the hell happened again?
They all went to see the other party, Lin Ning looked very composed, and she even reached out to them again.Everyone knew what this gesture meant. Morgan and Emily shook hands, expressing their re-acquaintance, but it was still tacit.
The atmosphere was still very harmonious. Before the Christmas dinner ordered from the restaurant arrived, Morgan suggested with a smile, "Why don't we play games?"
Emily proposes: "Truth or Dare?"
Garcia said without thinking, "No!"
After she finished speaking, she realized that she was too sensitive, so she quickly remedied: "We have to take care of Gideon and Rossi, why don't we play Werewolf?"
Gideon looked nonchalant.
Rossi: "..." He knows the game, okay?
Lin Ning looked at the phone, and there was a reminder from the White Queen on it. It was a reminder from her after watching the surveillance video at the foot of the mountain. This reminder made Lin Ning very helpless. What did the criminal think this time? , Do you think that the wilderness can kill the Quartet?After slandering, Lin Ning raised his head and asked the FBI agents in a circle: "Have you ever played officers and soldiers catching robbers?"
