Chapter 224: Contradictions
"Moreover, only at that time can you protect yourself and the safety of the people around you to the greatest extent, Esposito, Ryan......" Ling Xiao counted, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Trust me, Catherine, you won't want to involve them." ”
Kate Beckett stared at Ling Xiao deadly, and after a long time, she finally nodded a little unwillingly and said, "Okay, Ling, just do as you say." ”
After speaking, Beckett slammed the chaise longue hard, and then said unwillingly: "Is it that I just do nothing this year and just wait, I ......"
"No, Catherine, not even this time." Ling Xiao looked at Beckett, who suddenly raised his head with some expectations, chuckled, and said: "Beckett, in the future, you have to go to work normally, work normally, and live normally, and it is best to find a boyfriend, so that people will think that you have completely given up the investigation of that matter." ”
After a slight pause, Ling Xiao said to Beckett, who looked a little unhappy: "And secretly, Catherine, I hope you can secretly observe Mayor James and his campaign team, and see what these people are doing in secret, can we find some other evidence from them to prove Mayor James's guilt." Once a person has opened the door to crime, it is not so easy to stop it. ”
"This is what you Chinese often say about the Ming Xiu Plank Road and the Darkness Chen Cang!" Beckett blinked his big beautiful eyes and looked at Ling Xiao with amusement.
"Ugh!" Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "It's no problem if you want to understand it like this." ”
Beckett rolled Ling Xiao's eyes, then lowered his head and began to think, and then said to Ling Xiao: "Ling, it's not impossible to do what you say, but I have to add one more, I will not give up the investigation of Zhixuan during this time." After all, he was involved in a terrorist case, and it was rare to have such a good opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation of him. ”
"It's okay, after all, you've been investigating for so long, it's impossible if they don't notice it, and giving up abruptly will make people suspicious." Ling Xiao nodded lightly and said, "But you have to pay attention to proportion, this person is very difficult to deal with, and he will be a killer when he can't say when." ”
"I know." Beckett turned around, lay on the chaise longue, looked at the blue sea in the distance, and sighed, "If only we could think of something to make Zhixuan and James turn against each other." ”
Beckett didn't know why this sentence came out inexplicably, Ling Xiao picked up a grape, shook it gently, and the grape skin automatically fell, and a little frost spread into the grape flesh, put it in his mouth, and the cold feeling immediately spread from the tip of his tongue to the whole body.
"It's not impossible for you to realize this idea." Ling Xiao closed his eyes, and while thinking, he said: "The events of the year were the bond between Zhixuan and James, but it was also a knot in their hearts. If you can convince James that there is a possibility that Zhixuan will reveal the truth to you back then, then contradictions and conflicts will inevitably break out between the two. ”
"So what to do?" Beckett turned over, crawled over, looked at Ling Xiao with a wink, and said, "Otherwise, I will sacrifice a little hue to seduce the youngest son of Zhixuan, who is said to be an unsuccessful guy." ”
"Don't underestimate Shishida Jiro, he's just suppressed too much by Shishida Ichiro. This person's scheming and strength are not weak at all, you be careful to steal chickens and rice! Ling Xiao opened his eyes angrily and glared, and then his eyes were white.
It turned out that Catherine was lying on the chaise longue, and the clothes on her upper body hung down, just revealing all the beautiful scenery inside in front of Ling Xiao's eyes.
"Ahem!" After Ling Xiao glanced at it fiercely, he turned his head pretending not to care, and continued: "Zhixuan and James are both seriously suspicious guys, if you do too practically, it will make them doubt your motives, but if you do it secretively, people can't see what you are doing, it will cause them to suspect, and what we need is to plant such a little doubt seed, and then keep watering, waiting for him to take root." ”
Beckett looked at Ling Xiao with a frown, and after a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Ling, why do I always feel as if you have a complete set of plans in your heart?" ”
"Yes, how did I not know?" Ling Xiao glanced back at Beckett, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, don't think too much, it's hard for you to take a day off, and it's rare for me to take a day to accompany you before the graduation defense, and enjoy the sun and sea breeze, the beach environment here is much better than the beach below." ”
It's true, the beach below isn't so clean, and it's too noisy below, and even though Matador Beach isn't crowded with tourists, it's definitely not as comfortable as a seaside villa.
Beckett glanced at Ling Xiao, picked up the iced Coke that was set aside and took a big sip, and her mind began to continue to think, obviously thinking about how she could separate the relationship between Zhixuan and James. In any case, as a detective in the Crime Unit, Beckett has seen too many and different cases, and she wonders if she can get some inspiration from them.
Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, immersed in the blowing of the sea breeze, and slowly closed his eyes. During this time, Ling Xiao rarely participated in various incidents, on the one hand, because there was a lot more surveillance around him, and on the other hand, because of his cultivation.
Since the First World War in New Mexico, Ling Xiao's cultivation has grown rapidly, and now his cultivation has broken through to the late stage of the ninth layer of Qi training, and one more step is the realm of the ninth layer of Qi training, he hopes that he can break through to the innate realm before the invasion of the Chiritas, so that he can have enough strength to compete for the space gem.
The remains of a Destroyer have restored the Gods and Demons List a lot, and the ability to transform Taiyin Yuehua is much stronger, which is also the reason why Ling Xiao's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds during this time, which also gives him a certain degree of confidence to ensure that he can cultivate to break through to the Innate Realm before the invasion of the Cheritas.
Once he broke through the Innate Realm, he would be able to bless the abilities of Magneto and Professor Charles on himself, and at that time, even in the face of the two of them, Ling Xiao would be sure enough to retreat.
Ling Xiao's favorite thing is to lie on the big bed on the second floor, the glass window above his head is removed, and the moonlight is sprinkled throughout the bedroom like water.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and a smooth and hot body squeezed into Ling Xiao's arms, and he hugged the person tightly with a little force.
One night in spring, when Ling Xiao woke up the next morning, the figure on the bed had long since disappeared, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, cleaned up a little, and returned to California State University, Los Angeles.
For the next two days, he lived in the school, only going back to his pharmacy at noon.
The graduation defense went well, and after two days of graduation ceremony, he was able to get his graduation certificate.
As soon as he left the office building, a phone rang, and it was none other than Professor Cooper's assistant, Nadia Pym.
The two of them made an appointment in a coffee shop outside the school, Ling Xiao didn't understand what Nadia was looking for, what happened in New Mexico, S.H.I.E.L.D. blocked the news very strictly, except for the participants in the event and the heads of state, few people knew about the news of aliens coming to Earth.
Of course, this must not be concealed from Professor Pym, who has been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, but Nadia's relationship with his father is not very good, and she really doesn't know the news, but it is not that she has heard a little rumor, it seems that she is eyeing herself.
