Chapter thirteen, go to the zombie house for a party!
Claude Harber held the car steady, and got off and fucked and shouted loudly: "Hey, Shirley, my baby! How are you investigating with this guy?"
The investigation just ended, so both of them walked out of the beef shop. Shirley quickly walked to her father and said, "I found some information, but it has not made any decisive effect. Dad, how did you find us? Are you still fighting for the one in Elliott Bay?"
"Hey, that's not a piece of cake, it's done long ago!" Claude was very happy now. Seeing Solan walking in his pocket, he strode forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Man! We both have cases now. You are the one in Union Lake, and I am Elliott. I guess they can eventually synthesize one!"
"Yes, judging from the security situation in Seattle in the past few years, these two cases can be regarded as the hottest things in the second half of this year." Solan smiled. He really wanted to know how the old policeman should investigate the headless case he had done: "It's almost six o'clock now, let's chat with you, and I'll get off work first."
Solan has been staring at the time now, but he had agreed last night that he would take Arya to the supermarket to buy clothes after get off work. He made a breach of trust in his first promise, which is not a mature guardian's right to do, and he should indeed have a strategic transfer.
"Slow down!"
However, Claude pressed his shoulder and said, "Boy, you are the instructor of my baby daughter now. This is Shirley's first day at work. Is there anyone who got out so early?"
Solan was a little stunned. What's going on?
The partner system is a common police case handling model throughout the United States, and the combination of senior police officers and trainee rookies can be seen in old movies decades ago, which is not a strange thing. When he came to the bureau to report yesterday, Sato named himself and became Shirley Harbour's instructor, but it made Claude depressed for a while because he always thought he could be his daughter's teacher.
At this time, there are only two situations. Either Claude is disliked by him and always seeks trouble for himself, or he keeps going to the director's office to make trouble and force Sato to put Shirley under him. The poor old policeman, his ex-partner just died in an accident ten days ago, and there are definitely a hundred reasons to be with his daughter.
Now he intercepted himself before getting off work... Solan guessed that he would "instruct" himself... or would he drag himself to the bar to contact him?
"I forgot to ask," Claude said in a rough voice: "Have you done the house problem with it?"
Solan couldn't figure out what he was going to plan, and grinned and said, "Of course I'll do it, I'll live in Unity Lake. Shirley also knows about this, I've told her."
Claude glared: "What's the matter? Tell her where you live?"
As he said that, he looked at his daughter, Shirley immediately nodded: "Yes, Dad, Officer Adams lives at the Boathouse of Union Lake. He told me on the way to work, which scared me!"
Although the layout is crowded, the boathouses in Union Lake are serious vacation villas, which are not worth millions of dollars, so you can't buy even the smallest one. Claude knows this very well, staring at Solan with big eyes, and his momentum is really amazing. He sees that Solan has to make a harmless gentle smile so as not to stimulate him.
"Okay, what big a house, how many bedrooms are you?"
“Two thousand square feet, four bedrooms.”
"Hey……"
By counting on my fingers, this is not a very large house, but the foot of Union Lake is placed there, and the relative area and price are quite expensive. Claude seemed to have thought of some new idea, pressing Solan's shoulder with a big hand, never letting go.
Solan was helpless now. He glanced at his watch several times, and it was getting closer and closer to six o'clock. Although it was not so short, he was still waiting for the task of taking his child to the supermarket. His current mood was no different from that of an ordinary father-level office worker. Especially this was still the "first time" with Little Arya. If it was delayed for too long, who would know if the little wolf cub would make the house go upside down!
"I said man..."
Just as Solan was about to say something, Claude spoke: "Since you have a pretty good house, then just do this. Look, boy, I'll do it for you."
It seems that the old policeman really treats him as his own. Solan smiled bitterly, and Shirley stood there at a loss. The two of them stood at the door of the beef shop. Seeing that Claude was pretty, he really broke his fingers.
"You just reported yesterday that my Shirley had just started working, and she was assigned to you as a partner. And today, this is the official first day for you two as partners. Two things are there, and then today, you and I have both got a case again. And this is not your original Gotham. How long has it been since Seattle had he encountered a vicious death, right?"
The old guy showed every opportunity to blackmail Gotham City. Solan felt funny. Unfortunately, Shirley didn't cooperate with him and was still stunned to guess what his dad was planning.
"Then you have a house in Union Lake again! I don't care how you got it. Anyway, the place is not cheap, so it's definitely a good place! Four bedrooms are not big, but it's enough to have a party. Look at how it looks like, let's go to your boathouse tonight for a party!?"
As he said that, Claude obviously felt that he had made a top-notch and wise decision, and he laughed and patted Solan's shoulder!
"Party, party!?"
The first thing that came to her was Shirley. She looked back and forth between Solan and Claude for several times, and grew up in surprise: "Dad, what did you say? Why did you suddenly... have a party?"
"Yes, party!"
Claude said happily: "Don't forget, girl, this is the famous detective Adams who has joined Seattle! Everyone didn't go to the bar for fun last night. Can you still celebrate tonight? I said, boy, I'll give you an hour to prepare. After that, I'll drag a group of police officers to search your house. What do you think!?"
I don't think so!
Solan gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the time, place and character, he really wanted to swallow Claude alive on the spot.
"I'm definitely not available tonight, man, I'll tell you." He needed to persuade Claude quickly: "I just moved into the house yesterday, and a lot of work has not been completed yet. If you really drag a bunch of people into it, I really promise you that there is so messy that you can't get out if you go in!"
It would definitely not be out, Solan thought. God knows if Arya would quietly catch a few policemen as midnight at the party, just like the party night at the end of "Scream".
Seeing that Solan was unhappy, Shirley also persuaded him: "Dad! Is there anyone like you? Even if it is a celebration of moving to a new house, Officer Adams must propose it himself. How can you propose it?"
That's it. Solan was so satisfied with Shirley that he actually helped him get the right thing to his father. With such a partner, are you still afraid that no one will help you at work?
Claude scratched his head and said, "But you have to celebrate it. How can you celebrate nothing? This is the next day!"
But anyway, they were all giving suggestions. Claude failed and immediately threw out another one: "Or call Johanna?"
"Johnna?" Solan reacted. It was his current direct boss, Johanna Birmingham, the leader of the homicide group: "Call the boss to celebrate... This is indeed the leader's job..."
His subconscious words were immediately borrowed by Claude: "Yes, boy, work! You are not any rookie newbie, you are a Gotham City celebrity who has solved dozens of big cases! Wow, this girl, Johanna, if she runs to Gotham, she might have to be a pawn for you!"
Seeing Claude's look so excited that he couldn't help himself, Solan knew that he couldn't help but he wanted to offend people. But seeing Claude's face turned red... Is this excitement a little...
“It’s too exaggerated?”
Shirley muttered, "Who doesn't know in the whole group? I know too. Since the third year of my mother's death, the electric sparks between dad and Aunt Johanna have become stronger and stronger day by day!"
So this is the root cause?
Solan looked at Claude in amazement. The old guy was excited. Now he had copied his phone and started calling out the team leader's name. It seems that although a large-scale party would not be held tonight, he could not take Arya to the supermarket.
"Okay... Then I'll be the matchmaker for them? Damn!"
Chapter completed!
