    Chapter 192 Waiting (1)

    It should have been quiet at night, but the atmosphere in the detention center's interrogation room was extremely tense.

    The fake nurse Amy Boro sat silently, ignoring the officers in front of her.

    Since she entered here, she has not cooperated for a day.

    At first, she tried to pass information to Manson's hands with a pocket device, which was embedded in her heel, so it could be said that it was hidden. It's a pity that the road is one foot high and the devil is ten feet high, and the sheriff put a mobile mask directly on her.

    Even with her eyes rolled, Amy Boro's notification plan was put on hold.

    Later, she tried to disguise herself as a critically ill patient, and the medicine for false myocardial infarction and shock was hidden in her teeth. She wanted to use this to create an opportunity to leave the detention center.

    But the sheriff who was in charge of her and his subordinates were extremely experienced, and they shot at a critical moment and made a "personal loot".

    Almost turned Amy Boro's back in anger.

    "Do you think the police station is full of idiots? If you use your brains a little, we can't do anything about you? Stop dreaming, do you really think we're eating shit?"

    The sheriff was so annoyed by her little actions, he simply found a few female police officers and police medical staff, and screened her from beginning to end with a detector and a medical fluorometer, and not a centimeter was spared.

    After doing this, everything she could rely on was gone.

    In desperation, she began to "keep silent" endlessly.

    "Fuck I knew... it's here again!" Outside the one-sided glass of the interrogation room, the sheriff cursed harshly, slamming his iron fist on the table, "Look!"

    Next to the sheriff stood several police officers in charge of searching and tracking people, as well as a man with long silver hair.

    That's Mervyn White.

    After Jacques Bai disappeared from the apartment, he followed Eunice's people to many places but found nothing. According to the procedure, Eunice contacted the police station where Amy Boluo was temporarily detained, and he followed in a hurry, trying to get some clues from the woman's mouth.

    As a result, after listening for more than half an hour, didn't hear a word from A Boluo.

    "But today is already a good situation." The sheriff narrowed his eyes, "When it comes to Jacques Bai, she has some subtle movements, which is different from her previous state of indifference. This is a breakthrough. ."

    He had a communicator pinned to his neck, and the police officers in the interrogation room could hear this, and immediately regained confidence and began a new round of cross-examination.

    One of the police officers was exceptionally powerful. He seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. After several questions, Amy Boluo moved his lips twice, as if he had the urge to say something, but finally held back. go back.

    Of course, this kind of action could not be concealed from the eyes of the police, and they immediately pursued the victory.

    "... Or don't say it? Actually, your resistance like this is meaningless. Let's just talk about Jacques Bai, really, there is no one to ask about except you and us? Don't forget that he has an adoptive father and biological parents. "

    I don't know which nerve hit Amy Boluo. Before the police officer could finish speaking, Amy Boluo raised her eyes, looked at the police officer with a strange look for a while, and suddenly sneered. .

    "Even if—" the policeman narrowed his eyes and stopped, "what are you laughing at?"

    Amy Boro shook his head, seemingly too lazy to answer. But after a while, she suddenly said softly: "The adoptive father has long since cut off contact. I have been staring at him for so long and I haven't seen any contact between them. As for the biological parents..."

    She snorted, "How come there are so many biological parents who have gone so far as to find them after throwing away their children. How about making a movie?"

    "What's the meaning?"

    "I never had any biological parents. I didn't even think I could lie to you when I lied to Jacques, who just went to college." Amy Borrow said sarcastically, "I can lie to Jacques Bai because he was with his adoptive father. It's awkward, take advantage of it. I really can't understand if I can lie to you. You are as naive and terrible as his adoptive father?"

    The police officers were really wronged. It didn't take long for them. They have been staring at Amy Boluo's social relations. They just brought in another Jacques Bai tonight.

    Precisely because they were not stupid, as soon as they heard Amy Borough's words, they guessed roughly: "So the so-called biological parents...was a conspiracy from the very beginning? In order to pull Jacques Bai into the circle, and face the family's Staring at him in name?"

    After the police officer finished speaking, he suddenly shook his head and mumbled, "No..."

    Where did Jacques Bai, who just entered the university, get his capital to attract attention? Also make it difficult for people to pull him into the circle?

    He jumped out another conjecture that was closer to the truth: the "biological family" that suddenly appeared in those years, the original target was probably Mervyn White, and the adopted son Jacques White was just a breakthrough to get to Mervyn. It's just that they quickly discovered that this "breakthrough" was actually a rare genius whose value even surpassed Mervyn Bai, so they changed their goals accordingly.

    As for Jacques Bai, from the moment he saw his "birth parents", one foot had already stepped into the quagmire.

    Outside the one-way glass, Mervyn Bai stiffened.

    What the police officer can guess, he can also realize the truth faster than the other party.

    He stood still for a moment as if struck by lightning, then suddenly remembered something and walked away.

    "Huh? What the hell are you doing?" The sheriff was stunned for a moment, then strode over and shouted.

    "Sorry, I'll go find him." Mervyn Baitou didn't look back.

    "What? Do you know where he went?" the sheriff called again, but Mervyn Bai had hurried away.

    He clicked his tongue and said into the intercom: "The first team continues to ask! The second team keeps up with Mervyn Bai!"

    In the early morning mountain pine forest, the long wind howled.

    The area where the detention center was located was still sunny and starry, but it was thundering and raining heavily.

    Mervyn White was empty-handed and was extremely embarrassed when he came to the mountain pine forest. But he didn't care, he didn't even realize he was being rained.

    This mountain pine forest is not wide, it is a bit far from the regional center of Fawang District, but it is very close to Xiaobailou, where he used to live. When he was still living in Xiaobailou, occasionally on weekends, he was interested, and he would walk all the way along the road outside the backyard to this forest, which is less than two kilometers.

    Xiaobailou is the beginning of everything, Jacques he picked up here.

    As a child, Jacques was occasionally troubled by strange things.

    It was really a child's trouble, Mervyn Bai wanted to laugh every time he heard it, but taking into account the self-esteem of the kid, he would always try his best to hold it back and deal with it in the same innocent way.

    Once, Jacques felt regretful and depressed because of something, and was sullen for two or three days. Mervyn Bai took a long afternoon and took him to the mountain pine forest.

    He said: "If you encounter any depressing things in the future, just follow this road to that forest. There is a secret base in the forest. I guarantee that you will be screaming and crying there, and there will be no one else. Listen, don't feel embarrassed."

    There is indeed a tree house in the mountain pine forest. don't know who built it. Anyway, when Mervyn Bai saw it, it was already in an abandoned state and had no owner.

    What he said about the secret base back then was actually a nonsense to coax children. The real purpose was to get Jacques to go that route.

    The scenery along that road is always alive and, above all, exceptionally open. No matter how troubled you are, after walking that road, it will be much smoother, at least the attention has been diverted.

    But he didn't expect Jacques to remember the treehouse.

    Later, when there was something on his mind that he didn't want people to know about, or he felt embarrassed and embarrassed, Jacques would go to the tree house for a while.

    However, the total number of his visits was not large, and his stay was not long. So much so that Mervyn Bai almost forgot about this place many years later.

    Fortunately, he finally remembered.

    It was raining heavily, and Mervyn Bai slipped several times as he climbed up the tree house.

    When he finally stood at the door, he was a little flustered.

    The door of the tree house was pushed open in a dull thunder, followed by two new flashes of lightning. The pale light reflected inside the tree house, and Mervyn Bai clearly saw a figure curled up in the corner.

    He didn't know how he moved, and when he realized it, he was already squatting in front of the figure, almost dazedly reaching out to touch the other person.

    "...Jacques?" he called out very softly, not even sure if the sound came out of his throat.

    The other party buried his head in his knees, trembling with some kind of pain, and occasionally twitched heavily.

    Cramps, bone pain, fever, hallucinations…

    The cold words in the experimental diary are really being staged in Jacques Bai, but he is silent.

    "...Jacques? Is it hard?" Mervyn White was at a loss.

    He probed the temperature of the other person's forehead, felt his heartbeat and pulse, and tried to loosen the fingers that were pinching his arm, and then found a blanket or clothes to wrap the other person...

    This series of actions is almost conditioned reflex. From childhood to adulthood, every time Jacques White fell ill, he did this.

    Jacques Bai was vaguely conscious in this trance-like familiar behavior, and when Mervyn Bai wrapped his wet clothes and hugged him, he finally let out a low whimper.

    He couldn't tell the time and place. In the hallucination, he stayed on a certain day decades ago. Because of the awkwardness, he stayed in the tree house for a rare afternoon, until Mervyn Bai came to coax him with food. This kid goes home.

    "Jacques, are you uncomfortable?"

    yes.

    He didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable, both physically and mentally.

    Obviously he was just making a little awkward, but it seems that he has been uncomfortable for many, many years in a certain time and space that he does not know.

    He couldn't quite hear what Mervyn Bai was saying, only that he was eager to speak. He wanted to say: "I'm sorry, I regret my father, I shouldn't be making trouble with you..."

    He couldn't figure out if he opened his mouth or if he really said it.

    It should be said, right?

    Because the person who came to coax him home with food didn't know why, suddenly hugged him and started crying, saying sorry, saying that he regretted it too...

    Sorry for what? What do you regret?

    Jacques White was puzzled.

    He seemed to be unable to remember so many things that he couldn't figure out why it was so dark, why Mervyn Bai was soaking wet, why his body hurt so much, and why... he would miss someone so much for only half a day people you haven't seen.
