[Variety Drama] Mobility Scourge

Chapter 22 Merry Christmas Part 1

For Lucida, she may not know much about facial reconstruction technology, but making a sculpture is not much more difficult than making an easter egg. In fact, working with Reid is more harmonious than she imagined. Speaking of which, it seemed interesting for her to do it.

"You have to know, it's been several years since the last time I made a sculpture, and I made the face of a person who has been dead for hundreds of years. Now you let me make a dead... Hey, how many years?"

Lucida was chanting while shaping the basic model, and Reid sat beside Lucida and listened to Lucida's babbling, well, responded to Lucida's babbling without getting bored: "Well, Agent Grissom said, The worms next to the corpse are caddis moth larvae, which are in three stages, and the corpse has been buried in the ground for two summers and one winter, which means it died last spring."

"Well, poor fellow."

Lucida puffed her cheeks and continued to move her hands. Most of the sculptures are made of plaster, so the texture is relatively hard, while the material used for facial reconstruction is a very soft material. Lucida quickly made the human face The general structure of the model has been shaped, but it is not yet possible to see the gender, and Reid needs to tell her how the details are done. Lucida's movements were slow and methodical, and her elegant and calm attitude was like treating a work of art. Reid's eyes moved to those hands with slender knuckles. These hands seemed to have magical powers, and they could make one piece after another. A surprising work came out.

The model is blue in tone, with closed eyes and only a shallow outline, but then comes the magic moment.

"OK, Michelangelo, say something."

Lucida's apparently teasing tone seemed particularly relaxed. Lucida's workbench was a square table, and Anonymous's skeleton was placed on the mortuary table next to the square table. Reid stood beside the skeleton and carefully observed the skull. Lucida's The teasing made him smile slightly, and Reid opened his mouth to tell Lucida what he knew: "I calculated the size of the cheekbones, the curvature of the nose and the size of the back of the skull. She is white, aged 18- Between the ages of 22, different races have different facial soft tissues. I think she is of Caucasian race. From the cheekbones and bridge of the nose, it can be seen that she is of Nordic race..."

Reid spoke very fast, he stopped in the middle of speaking, Lucida's teasing tone disappeared, she took a paintbrush, dipped in flesh-colored paint, and thinly painted on the plaster model, and began to make the blue The plaster model has a preliminary color, and the face is painted with a layer of flesh color to make the model look like a person, but Lucida is not simply painted with a single color, Reid found that Lucida painted the face with a layer of flesh color Afterwards, Lucida picked up two paintbrushes of different sizes and dipped them in two colors that were darker and lighter than the flesh color respectively. The three brushes were sandwiched between Lucida's left fingers and kept changing. Paintbrush, focus on the expression, because it is plaster and not a real person, so Lucida will draw the shadows under the cheekbones, the shadows on the eyebrows and humerus, and the shadows on the bridge of the nose bit by bit, as if applying makeup to people, which makes the overall facial features It became deep, and after Lucida painted the eyebrows on the model, she could already see the general appearance of the girl.

Lucida already has a lot of information from Reid's narration. Every race has similar facial features. Lucida has the basic outline of the girl's face, and then refines the facial features. The forehead is smooth, the bridge of the nose is narrow and slightly hooked, and the jaw is vertical. Just like this, Reid gradually made a realistic plaster model from a rough outline with no human figure... It looks like a work of art.

"Wow, this..."

Catherine and Grissom walked in together and were surprised by the realistic plaster model on the table, but Grissom's surprise was expressed in raising his eyebrows, while Catherine sighed directly: "This, it's really... too..." Catherine thought Thinking about what words to use to describe it, I finally praised without reservation: "It's really great, Lucida, you impress me." I am neither a forensic doctor nor an osteologist. Refactoring is said to be powerful, but it is better to say it is terrible. Has this girl achieved such a skill easily?

"Well, it's just in time for you to come, and it's almost finished."

Lucida picked the bluest pair of eyes from the glass eyeballs on one side, and put a wig with long blonde hair on the model, a face so lifelike that it was hard to imagine that it was a plaster model, Catherine and Grissom saw The reaction of the finished product was surprising, and the surprise was not limited to Lucida's ability, but also because...

"Eve Anderson, disappeared in the back street of the bar on April 05, 4, and never appeared again. We have found her now."

Grissom remembered that he and Catherine were in charge of this case. Her parents reported her missing, but they did not find the girl. Now, they can have an answer to the parents, although the ending is not good.

After all, Reid and Lucida are just outsiders who help solve the case and are not approved to participate in the case, so the task of Lucida and Reid ends here. Lucida can only vaguely know that this case is related to a series of kidnappings, and the missing people are all The blond-haired young woman was brutally dismembered, and Lucida had no right to know more information.

Reid habitually sent Lucida home, but the house didn't have any decorations for Christmas Eve, Reid looked around the house, pursed his lips and hesitated, and asked softly: "Uh... Lucida... I, can I May I ask, what are your plans for Christmas?"

Intend? Lucida thought for a while: "It should be the same as last year, eat a roast chicken with Alex, and then lie on the sofa and watch TV."

Is this Christmas!Except for turkey, there is no Christmas spirit at all!

"Your... adoptive parents..."

Reid's expression is easy to interpret, he looks puzzled, and the expression on his face is 'Why aren't your adoptive parents together? '.

Lucida shrugged indifferently, already used to this kind of thing, Lucida smiled heartlessly: "Ah, they are still busy, but they are busy for a long time at Christmas, and Alex and I are just right."

【Bring your friends over here. 】

After that day, this sentence kept popping up in Reid's mind, as if driving him to do something, and by the time Reid realized it, his mouth had already opened his mouth faster than his brain: "Lucida, if you don't mind... Together?"

"..."

Lucida was a little flattered by Reid's invitation. The woman blinked her beautiful eyes, and then smiled happily like a child. She nodded vigorously and said, "En! It's a great honor!"

******

"Oh! I read that right, Spencer brought a girl over."

The short-haired woman was sitting in a wheelchair and tightly holding the hand of the nurse beside her. At this moment, she looked much more awake than usual. With excitement, she watched Reid and Lucida get closer and closer with wide eyes. Lucida The other hand is still holding Alex, so looking at it from a distance, it looks like a happy family.

"Mom, she's Lucida, Lucida Genovese, and she's...our civil advisor to the BAU."

Reid actually felt ashamed even himself, taking Lucida to see his mother was like bringing a girlfriend to meet his parents... Thinking of Reid's cheeks flushed slightly, he could feel his face getting hot, Reid's mother didn't have her son entangled, the woman smiled and said to Lucida: "Lucida, I like your name, just call me Diana."

"Ok, Diana, I like your name too."

Lucida shook Alex's hand and introduced Alex to Diana: "Diana, this is my nephew, Alex."

The boy led by Lucida is very delicate, with a fair face and deep green eyes. Anyone who sees the face of a mixed race will be happy. The boy looks about ten years old. Wang Wang's big eyes blinked but felt cute.

This year's Christmas at Bennington Nursing Home was very special. Instead of dancing or singing, everyone sat around the table with a glass of eggnog and focused on tonight's key activities.

Blackjack.

A few old men who love to play cards, plus Diana, Lucida and Reid gathered around a table. The two old men mischievously wore magic hats with a row of spades stuck on them. They pouted with a fighting spirit He stared at Reid with a full look.

"Diana has always said that her son is the best. You have even been blacklisted by the casino. I must beat you today."

Unconvinced, the old man turned over the cards in his hand. The 18 points in his hand made him look at Reid triumphantly. Reid twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly and looked at the two women sitting opposite. Lucida was sitting on his mother's lap. Beside, Diana is actually not good at playing cards. After she turned over a card, she looked at Lucida and asked hesitantly, "14 o'clock, do you want to continue to take cards?"

"Of course!"

Lucida, as Diana's aide, nodded with great confidence, and she winked at Diana: "We will win against Spencer!"

Lucida's so confident appearance made Reid raise his eyebrows slightly, he lowered his head and asked Alex sitting on his lap: "Look, Alex, Lucida is so confident, will she cry if I beat her?"

Alex looked up at Lucida, and said calmly, "No, she will pounce on you and bite you."

Wow, it looked like it was in pain, Reid licked his lips and put down the cards in his hand: "I stop."

Diana continued to take cards, and then both of them exclaimed at the same time: "Blackjack! Blackjack!"

Diana clapped her hands excitedly, and hugged Lucida beside her at the same time: "Well done, Lucida."

"Well, it feels so good to beat Dr. Reid!"

Seeing the happy smiles on the faces of the two women, Reid curled up his mouth and smiled faintly, and put the cards in his hand on the table calmly, Lucida stood up and said to Diana: "Diana, let's go Have a drink of the victor's wine!"

Diana seldom showed such a bright smile, most of the time she was alone quietly reading books, this kind of Diana made the nurse on one side show a gratified smile, Lucida led Diana to the big table with food on the other side , and the two old men who loved to play cards went to other tables with two hums at the same time, Alex also stood up, but instead of going to Lucida's side, he turned over the next card that would be turned over.

Alex looked at Reid with those green pupils, and said slowly in a childish voice, "You lost to Lucida on purpose."

If Reid does not stop playing, the card in Diana's hand is Reid's, blackjack, and the next Lucida's card will make Lucida bust, even if Lucida stops, it will not exceed the card in Reid's hand, so no matter In any case, Reid won, but Reid suspended his cards, allowing Diana and Lucida to get a blackjack. This man not only predicted the next move, but also predicted the next three moves.

Reid turned his head and looked at the two people not far away, which is very good, Reid said in a low voice: "I'm afraid of pain." So it's no big deal for Lucida to win, not to mention, the two women over there looked at it with a smile They look very happy, it doesn't matter if they lose, as long as they are happy.

"Thanks, Spencer, I had a great day today."

Reid sent Lucida and Alex home before midnight, even if it was Christmas, the nursing home couldn't play too late, Reid frowned and smiled, not accepting Lucida's thanks: "No, it should be me thanking you , my mother... is very happy."

"OK..."

Lucida curled her lips, "MerryChristmas."

"Merry Christmas."

Reid also curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled back at Lucida.

Lucida looked at the back of Reid leaving little by little, the girl's smile deepened, and her bright smile made her pretty face alluring. Lucida thought that she would probably like her life at BAU more and more.

"There's your package."

The man in the orange clothes can only say that the clothes took away from the handsomeness of the man. He has been here for a while, except for the letters, it is probably only at this special time that they can receive packages. Strictly checked.

The man took the heavy wrapped package, which seemed to be filled with liquid. He was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised to reveal a handsome smile. There was a trace of helplessness in the smile, and a trace of pampering. He murmured: " It's really..."

He didn't go on talking, but the things inside were delivered in intact without being detained, so he could guess that the woman who gave him the things must have gone through some special channel to send them in.

Neal Caffrey took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and he carefully opened the outer packaging. Inside was an explosion-proof box, and inside was a wooden box. Neal's eyes lit up, and he removed the lid of the wooden box. Lying quietly inside was a bottle of champagne, next to the champagne was a letter, Neal licked his lips and opened the letter to read.

There were some complaints about him and recent trivial matters written on it. The woman's beautiful cursive font was as beautiful as the artistic font typed out by a computer. Neal's eyes softened, and he murmured the woman's voice in a subtle way. Name: "Lucida."

He knew that although Lucida was angry with him and only came to see him once in a few months, she never forgot him. Kate just came here yesterday, and he was quite satisfied to receive Lucida's gift today.

Neal read the letter again, as if he thought of something, he folded the letter with skillful movements, the man folded the letter into a lily flower, and the original letter was full of words , just a few words appear on the petals of the lily.

[Things are already hidden. 】

This time Neal grinned openly, and he knew it!His girls won't let him down!

Among his helpers, Moz and Lucida are good friends who will never let him down. The last time Lucida came to visit him, he told Lucida an address, and the key Lucida found was not an ordinary key, it was one of his The key to the warehouse, and the contents inside, are all works of art he stole. When he was caught, Peter received a lot of forged bonds, and his only conviction was forging securities, and the rest of the forged works of art were stolen. The FBI had no evidence at all to take the art, so he divided all his art into two parts, one part was handed over to Moz, and the other part was handed over to Lucida. The level of the two men's hiding things made him very confident .

No one will find it.

"This is my girl."

After getting this information, Neal's mood relaxed a lot, and his handsome smile became even brighter. Unfortunately, there are no beautiful women here, otherwise he would be fascinated by this man's deceptively handsome face.

Neal carefully took the champagne out of the wooden box. The champagne inside made Neal laugh uncontrollably. He shook his head and smiled with an unbelievable joy on his face. He laughed softly: "ok , my dear girl, I really like this Christmas present."

A champagne glass was embedded in the corner of the wooden box. Neal opened the champagne, poured the golden liquid into the glass, and the flowing golden liquid gave off a charming brilliance. Neal saluted the wall: "MerryChristmas."

"Hey! Little boy, you're drinking."

There was a sudden bang at the door of his own room, Neal turned around, his elegant posture was incompatible with the prison, he smiled and said, "Obviously."

Every door has an electronic lock, and no one can get in without the prison guard opening it. Neal just held his wine glass and looked at the vicious man at the door with a smile. , he looked at the wine glass in Neal's hand and raised his eyebrows and said in a sour tone: "Oh~ Someone gave you champagne, what a blessing, did it come from a woman, what brand is it, is this bottle worth $100?" ah?"

The envy and jealousy in this tone are obvious, coupled with Neal's handsome and charming face, the envy and jealousy are even deeper. Neal was amused by the other party's sour tone, he blinked, and looked at the other party with a sly smile With a gentle smile: "This is Bolkoff champagne, of course it's worth $100..."

When the other party curled his lips, Neal added: "One cup is worth $100."

Then the other party seemed to choke, staring wide-eyed at Neal holding a bottle of champagne on the table, as if he was calculating the price of that bottle in his heart...then...the ferocious face instantly darkened.

Boyfriend is disgusting!
