Chapter 237: K and the Case (2nd Update)
In a slightly dilapidated van-style restaurant, Le Yuan and Barnett sat face to face by the window, and only five minutes after ordering, two apple pies were served by a slightly plump waiter.
"Hmm-" Barnett took a deep breath of the sweet smell escaping from the apple pie and gave a thumbs up to Le Yuan, "It's this taste, no matter how many times you eat it, it feels unforgettable." β
"In that case, let's enjoy it, and solve the case as soon as possible, so that we can come here and enjoy the delicious apple pie without stress." Saying that, Le Yuan lowered his head and started a battle with Apple Pie.
"Huh?" Just when Le Yuan was concentrating on the fight to the death with Apple Pie, Barnett on the opposite side was obviously distracted, raised his head and looked at Le Yuan's back, and the whole person was stunned.
"Click, click, clickβ" The two of them came to the edge of Le Yuan's table, and one of the slightly old voices said in a pleasant voice: "Hahaha, isn't this the chatty Barnett?" Is this your partner? What an energetic child. β
Le Yuan raised his head and looked at the two people who came, one of them was a white-haired old man who was not very familiar, but the other was very familiar, it was the agent K who the "original body" particularly admired.
"Hello sir, are you here to eat pie too?" Le Yuan immediately stopped and took the initiative to say hello.
Agent D beckoned Agent K to sit down, and then shouted to the waiter, "Two apple pies, thank you." β
After saying that, Agent D said to Barnett: "What's the matter, are you still looking for potential juniors?" You're really, you could have become a full-fledged agent early in the morning, and you're still in the logistics team, I really can't understand your thoughts. β
"Hahaha, old Diel, you are not too. I'm a lot older, I retired early, but I've found him, the guy who can inherit my dream. Saying that, Barnett pointed to Le Yuan beside Diel, "This kid is not just good at it. That's what we were born to be an agent, and we found an important clue today. β
Barnett glanced at Le Yuan, and Le Yuan quickly took out the bag containing the hair of the unknown alien from his arms, and said: "That's it, what was found at the scene of the crime, although I don't know the specific ingredients, but it is definitely not a normal earth creature." β
"And when and where did that guy appear?" Agent K picked up the fur and looked at it, and couldn't help but ask.
Barnett is now completely a foodie, concentrating on the apple pie on his plate, and entrusting the burden of narration to Le Yuan.
"It was 21 o'clock last night. Near the west street of Greenwich Village, there were no witnesses other than the witness, so the purpose of the guy was completely unclear. β
"At 21 o'clock last night, Greenwich Village? Is it such a coincidence? At this time, it happened that the apple pie ordered by Agent K and the two also came, and Agent K returned the hair to Le Yuan and said, "You take this back for inspection first, and the results will be handed over to me as soon as possible." β
This is the end of Le Yuan's first meeting with the protagonist Agent K, and Le Yuan and Barnett then rush back to the MIB headquarters, and then hand over the hair tissue to the Investigation Bureau to analyze the results.
"Hey. Barnett, why do you do that today. You seem to be in a hurry to introduce me to Agent K, what happened? Judging from the original memory, although Barnett was broken, he should not be so eager to send Le Yuan out.
But I saw Barnett take out a newspaper and flip it over casually, and said lightly: "Isn't it good?" You've met your idol and you've shown your face in front of him, maybe he'll be the next partner! β
The incandescent lights on the ceiling illuminate the room. But Le Yuan couldn't see Barnett's face clearly, except for the blockage of the newspaper, it was more that he seemed to have completely closed his heart at this time, not letting Le Yuan know what he really wanted to do.
"Barnett, have you been at MBI for a long time? Looks like you're familiar with Agent D, huh? Back during the day, Barnett's conversation with Agent D didn't look like a superior-subordinate relationship. On the contrary, he has been friends for many years, "And the talkative Barnett, is that talking about you?" That's your nickname? β
"I think you're more suited to the nickname, chatty Zax, but you're right, I've been at MIB for a long time, and this is where I've always been." Barnett put away the newspaper in his hand and turned the swivel chair to look at Le Yuan.
Seeing Barnett admit it directly, Le Yuanzhuo slid directly to Barnett on the swivel chair, and just as he was about to hit him, he stopped with his feet and said, "Don't you explain?" I'm very curious as a partner, don't you want to become a full-fledged agent sooner? β
"Do you know what it means to be a part of MIB?" Barnett looked at Le Yuan and said.
"Huh? What does that mean? Le Yuan picked up an apple from the table on the side and was about to take a bite. But Barnett snatched it directly from Le Yuan's hand and looked at him solemnly.
"Hey, you don't have to do that, do you? Such a serious face is not suitable for you at all. Although he said this, Le Yuan looked at Barnett quietly, and the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to have an unknown past.
Barnett played with the apple in his hand and said without raising his head: "It's really a cool thing to be a member of MIB, but the moment you join, you can only wear the clothes prescribed by MIB, live according to the identity given to you by the organization, go to the designated place to eat, go to the designated place to live, erase all your past records, fingerprints, ID cards, schooling, and medical records have been erased, and you become a person who will not be remembered by anyone, even if you meet acquaintances, It's only a dΓ©jΓ vu guy, so do you still think it's cool? β
"How long have you been on the band?" Le Yuan asked directly after hearing this.
Barnett held up two fingers and said, "23 years, I remember very well, 23 years, 7 months and 17 days. β
"Do you regret it? After joining......"
"Man, how can there be regrets? And now we don't live for ourselves, everything we do is to protect more people! Barnett patted Le Yuan's shoulder and said resolutely.
"Ding-" Suddenly a new report email came from the computer screen on the desk, and Barnett looked at it and shouted, "There are results, pass them on to Agent K." β
"Baxter, a professional killer starman, resembles a bat, is good at using the night to assassinate targets, and is a well-known killer in the galaxy." Le Yuan's reader sent new information, "How did this kind of alien killer come to Earth, and who is his target?" β
"Who knows? It's better to leave it to Agent K to deal with, it's no longer up to us in the logistics team to be in charge of. As a veteran MIB agent, Barnett understands what to do now.
At night, Le Yuan had already handed over the work from MIB and was about to return to his apartment, and had just come to the floor where his room was located, who knew that as soon as he walked through the corridor, he saw the figure of Griffin, a five-dimensional life body.
"I guess you must have beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, parsley, pumpkin, and cauliflower in your bag, right?" This was the first thing Griffin said when he saw Le Yuan.
Le Yuan nodded indifferently and said, "Is this what you said during the day?" When do I need your help? β
"Hahaha, don't you really want to make a big contribution now? The opportunity will come soon. Griffin pushed Le Yuan to the front of the house.
Le Yuan took out the key and opened the door, while Griffin walked to the side of the refrigerator unusually cooked, took out a packet of potato chips from it and said, "Can this bag of potato chips be eaten for me?" I don't actually have to eat it, but if I do, I'll only have to eat eight minutes full for the next dinner, and I personally like it......"
"OK, OK, everything is up to you, you can do whatever you want. I'm going to get busy first. After Le Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen with the ingredients.
Half an hour later, when Le Yuan returned to the living room after cooking all the food, he saw that the bag of potato chips in Griffin's hand was already empty, and he was laughing at the comedy on TV.
"Alright, I've got dinner ready, let's eat together." After speaking, Le Yuan turned around and walked to the kitchen.
"I guess, you prepared a beef patty with a special celery sauce, egg tomato consommΓ©, and tomato with cauliflower." Griffin said that Le Yuan's footsteps had stopped, but the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and when he came to the table, he let out a happy laugh and said, "It's great that you still have pumpkin pie for dessert after dinner, you made the best choice." β
"Did I make the best choice? What does that mean? Le Yuan sat down and said as he cut the beef patty.
"Whew, that's what it tastes like." Griffin took a bite of the beef patty and showed happiness, and then realized that Le Yuan had asked a question, so he hurriedly put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped the sauce on his mouth, and said: "From the good future I see, you just made the current table dinner, and the most important thing is the pumpkin pie you made for me, because it distinguishes the possibility of your future." β
Le Yuan picked up a piece of pumpkin pie and took a bite and said: "The future is deflected because of the small pumpkin pie, so this future is too worthless!" β
"No object exists in isolation, I can see very clearly that your wish will be fulfilled tomorrow, and at the same time what will determine your future will also appear in front of your eyes, I can only say that it is really a very magical thing, although it is small, but it contains endless energy." As soon as Griffin finished speaking, he lowered his head again and began to eat.
"Endless energy, galaxy?" (To be continued.) )
