[Comprehensive] Lisa who loves nightmares

The middle-aged, no, old(?) people who came out of the law firm don't look very good.

Yes, it is indeed difficult to define his age from his appearance. The silver-gray hair and the wrinkles on his face suggest that he should have retired long ago, but his lean figure and strong physique all indicate that this person can fight another year. ten years.Well, I don't just mean on the battlefield, you know.

Obviously it's a bit awkward to go in and out of these places at his age, but this is not his first time, oh, maybe he should consider getting a VIP to see if he can get a discount?

Just as he was thinking, a small hand handed a cup to him.

The man was slightly taken aback, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a girl in her teens.Forgive him for missing a glance, his height caused him to often miss things below his line of sight.

"Not instant, I think you need it."

The girl spoke in a childish voice, holding up the coffee in her hand.

The man took the coffee: "Thank you."

The girl nodded, trotted back to the seat in the corridor, picked up the teddy bear on the seat and sat down.

If he is not suitable to appear here, then this child is more abrupt than him. What is the reason for such a young child to wait at the door of the law firm? The custody issue of the parents' divorce?

Thinking so in his heart, the man couldn't help but think of his daughter.Once, yes, once he had a daughter, and now in his memory she will always look like when she left.At that time, she was also at this age, so young that it was hard to imagine what she would look like when she grew up.

It is the basic etiquette for a man to walk up to the child and squat down to be at eye level with the child.

"Hello, I'm Gibbs, you can call me Gibbs. Can I ask why you're here?"

The girl turned her head to look in the direction of the law firm - this is a comprehensive firm, surrounded by frosted glass walls outside, but you can still roughly see the human figure.Several lawyers are separated by small desks and all work in one office.One of the lawyers seemed to be receiving clients, talking to another man, and there was no need to avoid other lawyers.

"Dad came over to ask, is there any way for someone else to take care of me, since my mother is not around and he is my only guardian. Mr. Lyme suggested that he take me for a psychiatric evaluation, as long as the identification report proves that I am special, Then I can be handed over to a special institution for children like me."

"..."

Gabes couldn't help frowning, he couldn't hide his momentary uncontrollable anger.But soon he refrained.That's right, this world is always like this, for you to cherish the important things that are difficult to grasp, there are always people who give up easily without pity.

If he is given a chance, no matter what kind of daughter it is, he will accept it completely, pour all his love on her, and treat her like a happy little angel.Yes, no matter what kind of her she is, if time can be turned back, he can go back to the past... Ah, this is really the most self-deceiving and sad.

"Don't be sad, this is the best way for us. Just like you and your wife, since you no longer love each other, it will be good for both parties to separate."

Gabs was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything.He just reached out and touched the girl's head, then took out a business card and stuffed it in the girl's hand.

"Call me when you need me, I'm always there."

This made the girl a little surprised, she showed a confused expression, probably this was the first time she encountered such a situation.

"Aren't you afraid?" she asked.

"What are you afraid of? You know about my ex-wife? Or I don't drink instant coffee? It's nothing. I know there is a word called 'observation'. You know, I don't believe in 'coincidence' in the world."

Yes, everything exists for a reason, and just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.I don't believe in coincidence.

At this moment, the phone on his waist rang.He quickly picked up the answer, but he didn't know that he touched the button and hung up.No, not hang up, the signal here is pretty bad.So Gabs said goodbye to the girl and hurried out of the building with his mobile phone.

The girl watched him go away, then raised the little bear in her hand and let it face her.

"David, what do you think of this man?"

"He's cursed," she said in a low hoarse voice, imitating the bear's voice.

"Really, but I think he is very strong, and Lisa hopes to be like him."

"……I will protect you."

"Great, thank you David! Only you won't leave me right?"

At this moment, her father, Mr. Green, stood a few steps away from her with some hesitation and timidity.

"Li, Lisa?"

The girl immediately hugged the bear and jumped off the chair.

"Okay, Dad."

She raised her head and held out her hand to her father.

The man hesitated again and again, but still stretched out his hand to hold her little hand.Although this hand, which was much bigger than hers, actually trembled slightly for unknown reasons.

With Lisa's other hand, she stuffed the business card between the cub's neck and left with her father.

****

This is a murder scene.

Yes.seriously.Although there was a tall, handsome young man who was flirting with the policewoman, he must have gotten a phone call or even a date permission from the policewoman by his smug appearance.

"Di Nozzo!"

"Yes boss, I will work boss immediately!"

Hearing his name, the young man stood at attention with a conditioned reflex, but soon he realized that he was being teased because of his colleagues - the beautiful detective Ziva who had just pretended to be a boss to scare him, and McGee who was watching the whole process gloating. , was laughing non-stop.

DiNozzo felt cheated!Offended!But he glanced at Ziva, well, he couldn't beat this special agent trained by Israel according to killer standards, so he rushed over and slapped McGee hard on the back of the head with his hand.

"What a funny rookie, work hard!"

Is this becoming angry and adding a thief shouting to chase the thief?McGee, who had the lowest experience in the team, could only pat his head pitifully and continue the work of collecting evidence.

"I said, why didn't the boss come?"

DiNozzo quietly asked Ziva.

"Well, I heard in the office that he received a call from his ex-wife's lawyer. Ah, don't laugh, and don't say I said it. Anyway, the boss will be here soon, let's work quickly."

Ziva informed his colleagues while taking notes.

"Ha, I guess it's the fourth term." DiNozzo guessed as he counted the number of ex-wives of the boss.

"There is no evidence for your guess. Boss has kept his personal information very tight. You don't know how much effort I (as a secret agent) spent trying to obtain his information."

Well, I pretended I didn’t hear that sentence just now, so it’s evened out.Di Nuozuo comforted himself in this way, ignoring his colleague's astonishing words, and began to conduct on-site investigation;

"The deceased was 62-year-old William Joy, who is currently on a personal trip. His son is a captain of the Navy. He immediately called the police when he was not contacted in time."

Yes, the Captain's family, that's why they -- NCIS are here.As long as the deaths related to the navy are subject to special investigation by them.Generally, civilian deaths will be handed over to the local police. After excluding accidental and natural deaths, the rest will be handed over to the crime scene investigation team.In other words, the normal procedure is to default to 'accident' first, and not treat it as a homicide until there is evidence to prove that it is not an accident.

Naval criminal investigations work in reverse. Given the high risk of fatalities occurring in such a sensitive organization as the military, it will affect military operations. Therefore, all cases will be investigated as homicides by default until it is found that they are not homicides. evidence of.

But DiNozzo believes that the case must be homicide.

… No one would jump into a bath of blue solution with a tightrope around their neck and hands.It's not performing magic underwater escape.

"This smell is really pungent. I don't know what kind of acidic liquid it is?"

Di Nozzo poked his head over to check, and the corpse had been partially dissolved and the bones had been dug out.

"Cartilage staining agent is generally used to treat the bones of specimens. After mixing glacial acetic acid and 95% alcohol at a volume ratio of 1:4, add Arisian blue staining agent until the solution becomes dark blue, and soak the specimens."

Ziva said without raising his head while recording.

"It's a dyeing method for fish specimens, and a day's soaking time is too short for humans. What's the matter, DiNozzo?"

"Hmm...nothing..."

DiNozzo resisted the urge to retch, and refrained from complaining about how easy it was for a pretty woman to make it seem like an after-school activity.

"Hey, everyone, come and take a look and remember this."

McKee interrupted them, and the two walked over to see where the fat agent's fingers were pointing.

There is a picture on the wall over there.It seems to be a gouache or an oil painting, and it draws a blue skeleton lying in the bath with quite vivid colors - the blue liquid in the bath soaks it like sea water, and the neck and hands of the skeleton are wrapped with ropes, It's like being thrown into the sea and drowning.

The three of them stared at the painting for a long time without speaking.Even Ziva was struck by the eerie sense of sacredness and beauty in the paintings.

This... just looks like the corroded corpse in reality.What a dreadful creature it was that drew this picture!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I've seen something like this somewhere."

DiNozzo stretched out his hand to stop the other companions from speaking, struggling to operate his brain that usually doesn't work very well.

"TV?" Ziva reminded.

That's right, despite Di Nuozuo's sunny playboy appearance, he is actually an invisible house, and he can memorize all TV channels and programs back and forth.

"Ah, yes! News! There was a sensational psychic girl case a while ago. It seemed that a portrait of the deceased was hung in the psychic's home. I don't remember the details, but it seems that the body found was Skeletons, but the portraits are what the dead looked like when they were alive."

And the corpse they found was still a corpse, but the portrait turned into a skeleton after death?

"Do you think the two are related?" Ziva asked.

"I don't know. But if it's a boss, he might say—"

【'(I don't believe in any coincidence). 】
