Chapter 1107 (2/2)
He introduced to the two homeowners: ”Nick Frey, a federal legal officer, is also responsible for enforcing the court's estate judgment. We will cooperate in handling the transfer of the estate... And tax payment!”
Nick opened his mouth and complained, ”Oh, inspector Constantine, did you mention the tax department to get me kicked out of here with a broom?”
He turned to the middle-aged Bai humanitarian, who may be a retired lawyer: ”I'm just a bailiff and don't collect taxes! I'm here to give you money. Please don't drive me out!”
Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere was happy. Even in the United States, the best way to distance is to complain about the tax department together. Everyone expressed some dissatisfaction with the IRS, and the distance between them was greatly pulled in.
The hostess, or Mrs. Matthew, Caroline Ellis Matthew, was still standing gloomily by.
She was in the shadow, hunched even more. His husband Luke Matthew seemed to be a little bored, with a trace of scolding: ”go and make a pot of coffee for the guests!”
The woman staggered away. Before leaving, her face shook in the shadow, some creepy and ferocious. However, Chen ang and Nick saw it, but they were just indifferent and even wanted to laugh. Nick thought so. Leaning against the fireplace, he really laughed.
At first, he just covered his mouth and smiled. Later, he couldn't help laughing.
Pointing to Chen ang, he almost laughed and asked, ”what do you mean by sending me this thing?” he took out his map and asked, ”do you expect me to rely on this thing to find here?” Luke seemed a little uneasy when he saw their reaction. He twisted his body and expressed his inner irritability.
Chen ang looked at the map and said, ”it's this thing that I came to the door... We found this map in Mrs. Caroline's aunt's relics. This is the address of the only relative left by the old man. Mrs. Caroline attached it to her in a letter.”
Nick stopped laughing, looked at the graffiti carefully and said, ”it's so cute!”
”Especially the graffiti silhouette of this house.”
Mr. Luke took Nick's words unnaturally and said, ”thank you. My wife left it when she was young! At that time, she was still a naughty girl.”
Nick suddenly said, ”can you ask your wife to draw me another silhouette... I want to collect it, so that when I tell people about this' adventure 'in the future, I can show them this map and let them find the route above...”
Chen ang grabbed the map and said: ”Don't even think about it! I want to keep this map by myself... You know, I like collecting all kinds of souvenirs of every case I handle. I once collected a hockey mask a few years ago. One of my beneficiaries gave it to me. He had to wear the mask his mother gave him every day to sleep. But he gave it to me. It was the best gift I received It's over! ”
”That hockey mask!” Nick burst into laughter. ”So there's another story... What about the iron man mask in your office? It's also given to you by Tony Stark? And the old video tape? The voodoo doll on the bookshelf? The glasses left by the crazy Sam's grandfather bought online at a high price?”
”God! Sam's grandfather is really just a shoemaker. He has never been to the south pole... Nor the North Pole!”
Chen ang said calmly, ”that's true!”
”What?” Nick smiled and made a black question mark with an exaggerated expression. Jpg
”My glasses are real captain Witwicky's...” Chen ang said plainly.
The expression on Nick's face was stagnant. He changed into a serious face and stared at Chen ang. When the atmosphere between the two was getting more and more tense, the hunchback woman came in silently with a pot of coffee. She seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the tense atmosphere in the room. The coffee pot just shook.
At this time, Nick gradually showed a ghost animal smile on his face, then grinned, showed his white teeth, pounded the table and smiled wildly.
”Constantine... You always have a sense of humor. Cold humor like a damn Englishman!”
The coffee on the table almost splashed out, but Nick ignored it. Instead, he turned to the hostess and asked, ”madam, this is the map you drew when you were young. To be honest, it's not easy for me!” Nick flashed in his mind - when the map sent by Chen ang arrived at the Divine Shield Bureau, the agents were facing great enemies and a variety of inspection items.
”Can you draw me another one... I want to keep a memorial!” Nick said frankly.
The hostess was at a loss. She subconsciously clenched the lace of the apron and pulled the apron uneasily.
Mr. Luke said to her without salt and water, ”Honey... There's nothing to draw?”
Nick pretended to be surprised and said, ”am I offending?”
The hostess was very difficult and said, ”no... no!” she picked up her pen and drew graffiti on the white paper next to her, but it couldn't be painted well. In the end, it was a mess. Chen ang came out and stopped and said, ”OK! Don't draw... Give you the map!”
Nick opened his eyes and asked, ”what are you commemorating? Investigator Constantine?”
”Since you want it so much, why should I win people's love?” Chen ang said: ”souvenirs can be anything. I just accept worthless gifts from some beneficiaries. No matter whether those things have other meaning or not, they are already very meaningful to me. My career has given them extraordinary meaning!”
The host Luke relaxed and said with a smile, ”as long as you want, we can give you anything here - as a gift!”
Chen ang looked around and didn't seem to see anything of interest.
Until he found a strange key put down by the hostess in the coffee pot, he picked up the key on the table, shook it in front of them and said, ”how about this master key?”
