companion ghost

Casey was sitting beside the opened compartment of the ambulance, with blood still on his face and body. The ambulance personnel wanted to check on his physical condition, but he waved him away.

Casey was staring at the void in front of him in a daze. After a while, he felt someone sitting down beside him. He knew who it was and didn't move.

A hand stretched out, gently held his chin and turned around gently, a soft towel covered Casey's face.

When Casey focused his eyes, he saw Dino's gentle and deep brown eyes.

Dino took a towel and wiped the blood on his face without saying a word.

After a while, Casey spoke first: "Is Lisman dead?"

Dino hummed.

Casey's eyes were still a little empty: "Even if I am a police officer, killing people..." His Adam's apple rolled, "It's not that easy."

Watching a person fall down in front of you, watching the blood in his body burst in all directions, even splashing on your body, watching him swallow his last breath in front of you, watching him open his eyes in disbelief .

No matter how long Casey was in the Marine Corps, how long he was in the Interpol, and how long he was a New York police officer, he felt that he would never be able to let go of the lives lost at his hands.

Casey believed in violence against violence in a certain sense, but firmly resisted private law.

To take away the rest of a man's life when he has no other choice is disgusting.

Even if this person deserves it, this person is unforgivable, this person is to blame.

This should be determined by the law. It is ten years, 20 years, 100 years, even if it is the needle in the arm in the end, it is fair that has been judged by society.

"I know," Dino said after wiping his face, throwing the towel aside and cupping his face, "it's never easy, but you did a good job, you saved Serena, you saved With Celis, you even let Shen have no worries in the future."

Casey twitched the corners of her lips slightly, showing a self-deprecating smile: "It's really nice of you to comfort me."

Dino sighed, pushed Casey into his arms slightly, and stroked his hair distressedly.

At this time, Serena walked up to Casey wearing a big towel.

She bit her lip, tears rolled down her eyes, and Kathy smiled at her: "Don't cry, be strong for your daughter."

Serena took out something from her bosom, which was Dino's Mad Dog Commando ATAK knife, and she handed it to Casey: "...Thank you."

Dino looked down at Casey with deep eyes, "How could you?"

How could you give Serena the only weapon in your body?

If something goes wrong in this whole link, Dino dare not think how much danger Casey will be in.

Casey patted his hand: "I'm fine. If I didn't give it to her, I'd be worried for the rest of my life if something happened to her in front of me."

Serena covered her mouth, she was not stupid, she already understood the danger that Casey would take in giving her the knife.

Serena's tears fell again uncontrollably, her voice choked up: "You—"

Casey took the knife, touched the blade, and said: "Protecting others is the meaning of this knife, and it is also my meaning," he said to Serena, "Don't pay too much attention, go back and find a psychiatrist, and spend more time with me." Accompany Celis, forget about this matter, and life must go on."

After speaking, he stood up, waved to Serena, and followed Dino to find Auston.

Serena looked at Casey's back, her vision blurred.

Before her husband died, it was the same back view.

There is no muscle, but it seems to be able to stand upright.

St. Mary's Hospital

Ning Yuan was nestling on Shen Lie's bed eating small wontons. After a period of intensive rehabilitation, his basic movements are no longer a problem, at least he can eat by himself.

At this moment, Shen Lie's cell phone rang, and Shen Lie picked it up. After listening for a while, he relaxed a little, thanked him and hung up the phone.

Ning Yuan swallowed the wonton in his mouth, turned his head to look at Shen Lie: "What about Lisman?"

Shen Lie hummed, and threw the phone aside: "Lisman kidnapped hostages as a threat, and was shot dead by Casey."

"Shot, shot dead?" Ning Yuan's eyes widened, and the spoon fell into the bowl without holding it.

Shen Lie shrugged.

Ning Yuan clicked his tongue twice, and took the spoon out of the bowl with great effort: "That's good, don't worry anymore."

Seeing that he was about to scald the spoon again, Shen Lie felt helpless, reached out and took Ning Yuan's bowl of wontons and put it on the bedside table.

"Hey," Ning Yuan was caught off guard, "I haven't finished eating yet!"

Shen Lie flicked the tip of his nose: "All the spoons fell into the bowl, are they dirty?"

Ning Yuan pursed his lips.

Shen Lie gave him his own bowl: "Eat this."

Ning Yuan held the bowl: "You don't want to eat?"

Shen Lie said: "I don't really like this stuffing, so hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

Ning Yuan thought for a while, and handed him the remaining half of fried dough sticks: "Then you eat fried dough sticks."

Shen Lie naturally took a bite of his hand.

Ning Yuan didn't care, took a bite himself, and commented: "This restaurant's breakfast is very authentic Chinese food, and the taste is also very good. I used to eat here when I came to see my brother."

Shen Lie swallowed the fritters in his mouth: "The taste is not bad."

Ning Yuan snorted and finished eating the wontons: "When will I be discharged from the hospital, I will die here."

Shen Lie didn't care about it: "It's time for a vacation."

"You can't lie down every day on vacation!" Ning Yuan retorted, "I think my current state is completely the life of a veteran cadre after retirement."

He thought for a while and added: "Veteran cadres can still go out for a stroll, I belong to the kind of veteran cadres who are paralyzed in high positions."

Shen Lie laughed.

Casey and Dino found Auston in the RV, and Auston frowned with a stern expression.

Dino asked: "Lisman is dead, why do you still have this expression?"

Auston looked at his watch and didn't answer him, but turned his head to Jerry and said, "You arranged for someone to clean up the scene, Lisman's body was sent to James, and Victor was sent to the hospital, right? Report the progress to me immediately."

After hearing Jerry's promise, Auston whispered to Casey and Dino: "You two, follow me back to the office."

Seeing Casey opened his mouth, Oston paused, "Immediately."

Casey and Dino looked at each other, and they both saw blankness in each other's eyes.

NYPD Manhattan Homicide Squad Office

Orston walked in front, walking with wind, and his mood was extremely bad at first glance.

Casey and Dino followed, completely confused.

After entering the office, Oston signaled Dino to close the door, and sat on the office chair by himself, saying in a deep voice, "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are here to get involved."

"Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Casey's eyes widened, unable to understand, "What's the matter with them?"

Alston said, "They're going to review that shot you fired at Lisman."

Casey was even more incomprehensible: "What happened to my shot?"

Auston looked at Dino: "You know."

Casey looked at Dino again in confusion, and Dino frowned: "A few minutes before you shot, there was a problem with the equipment and the signal could not be received, so no one but you, Lisman and Victor know exactly what happened."

Casey looked unbelievable, looked at Dino, then at Auston: "Do you suspect that I shot him on purpose to kill him?"

"Of course not." Dino squeezed his shoulders to calm him down. "We all believe in you, but not the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You also know that they are always looking for trouble."

Casey pulled her hair back irritably, not wanting to say anything.

Auston said: "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs should come to you soon. Remember, don't say anything until the union representatives and your lawyer come."

Casey didn't speak, Dino patted him on the shoulder and asked him to leave the office first.

After Casey left the office, Dino lowered his voice and said, "Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs really here?"

Auston rubbed his temples: "I don't know where Casey provoked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As long as some things that everyone tacitly knew were touched by Casey, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs smelled like blood. Sharks swarmed up."

Dino's eyes darkened.

The phone that was thrown aside by Shen Lie suddenly remembered buzzing, and he picked it up to see that it was a message from Dino.

After reading it, he locked the screen expressionlessly.

After a while, I unlocked it again, opened the phone's address book, clicked on Matt's column, and started editing text messages.
