Chapter 113 Patrol Daily

"Uncle Yorks!"

Lucy sat on a high stool, swinging her legs around as she looked at York next to her, her face looking aggrieved.

"Tomorrow the teacher wants everyone to give a speech on stage. I don't know what other unique physiological characteristics butterflies have besides their wings."

At this point, Lucy's eyes fell on Rem, who was sitting next to her.

"I asked Daddy, but he didn't know either. He kept hemming and hawing. My friend said he was a fool."

Hearing this, York glanced at Rem, whose face showed sadness.

As Lucy grew older, her intelligence and academic performance continued to improve, but it became clear that Rem, who was only eight years old, was already lagging behind in intelligence.

If you really think about it, the difference between five and eight years old doesn't seem to be that big.

The fact that Rem can read and tell stories from storybooks is already the result of his hard work. To go further, he must be a normal person.

Unfortunately not.

York sighed in his heart, afraid that Lucy already knew about her father's abnormality.

The most terrifying thing is that once the school finds out that students have not completed their homework and cannot meet the most basic requirements, the teachers will come to the students’ homes.

If this happens, Rem's affair will be discovered and things will get troublesome later on.

Because the teacher judged that Rem was unable to take care of Lucy or suspected that Lucy was not Rem's daughter, she had the right to report it to the Child Protection Agency.

The Child Protection Agency has the power to take Lucy away from the mentally retarded Rem and arrange a new family for her.

Thinking of this, York looked at Lucy, stroked her head and smiled.

"It's not that Rem doesn't understand, but the knowledge you asked about happens to involve an area that he is unfamiliar with. After all, everyone has things they don't understand, even scientists.

Is this your homework?"

As far as he knows, kindergartens generally assign this kind of simple homework to allow parents and children to interact.

Most of them start with very simple knowledge like animals. If the parents are normal people, then these questions will definitely not be difficult for them because they can all be searched on the Internet, but Rem is different.

Lucy nodded and looked at her father sheepishly, because unlike other families, her father couldn't help, and she felt a little resentful in her heart, and even cared about what her friends said.

"Daddy! I'm sorry! What I just said to you."

Rem just grinned and shook his head.

As expected, her father really didn't understand. Lucy looked at York for help. If there was one person she could seek help from, the first one would be her father, then the second one would be Uncle York.

The rest of the people made her feel unfamiliar and she didn't dare to speak.

"Do you want to know what other unique physiological characteristics butterflies have besides wings?" York said gently.

"Come on, uncle happens to know, I'll tell you."

Lucy smiled excitedly and said "Yeah".

York looked calm and didn't care about the strange looks from the guests.

He was wearing a patrol uniform, and together with a five-year-old little girl and Rem who was wearing a clerk's uniform, it was indeed quite eye-catching.

York glanced at the clock hanging in the middle of the coffee shop. The time was just 7:40.

Although it's working hours now, there's nothing wrong with talking for a few minutes.

“Aren’t butterfly wings beautiful?”

Lucy nodded vigorously, her feet that were not touching the ground kept swinging around, pushing the small notebook in front of her towards her.

Even Rem crept a little closer.

There were several butterflies painted on the notebook, the colors were very bright and beautiful. York moved the coffee on the table to one side, pointed at it, compared its length and size, and pointed out the related organs to explain its structure and function.

"In fact, the body size of most butterflies is between 5 and 10 cm, and the body is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen.

They have two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs, which they use for flying and moving.
In addition to wings, they also have antennae for sensing the surrounding environment, siphon-like mouthparts, and well-developed compound eyes.

Butterflies are insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, and their life cycle goes through four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa and adult.

York's voice sounded, and Lucy, who was sitting next to him and nodding from time to time, and Rem, who had an innocent look in her eyes.

On the other side were the couple Talia and Germain who had just finished their work. They leaned against the bar, looking at York with smiles on their faces.

……

But this seemed to be a very peaceful and beautiful picture, and it only lasted until eight o'clock.

Because Rem is getting off work.

It was time for him to go on patrol. It was true that a single person patrolled with more freedom than a two-person patrol, but he still needed to patrol the route he was responsible for.

On the street outside the store.

"Uncle Yorks!" Lucy had a reluctant expression on her face.

"Will you come over tomorrow night? There are still many things I don't understand."

He is a little smart boy, he was very excited just now and said he understood everything.

York, who was pretending to be on guard, touched Lucy's head, glanced at Rem who was already collecting cash in the store, and smiled:

"I don't know either. He may come or he may not come."

God knows what might happen to him tonight. If it's something that requires administrative leave, he won't be able to work his last night shift tomorrow.

Lucy's face fell and her eyes drooped: "Okay."

Seeing this, York said nothing. He couldn't make any promises until it was confirmed.

When Rem received today's salary and walked out happily, York handed Lucy, who was reluctant to leave, to Rem, and walked towards the Explorer patrol car under the gazes of the two.

"Lucy! Let's go home!" said Lem.

“I learned a lot of new things.”

Hearing her father's words, Lucy withdrew her gaze from York, who had already sat in the driver's seat and disappeared from her sight, and looked at her father and nodded.

"it is good!"

But there seemed to be something more in her eyes. Her father seemed really different. His movements were slower than others, and his speech was more halting than others. His slow speaking speed made her realize that her father might be different from normal parents.

"Tell me about it tonight." Lucy said with a smile on her face.

Rem grinned, holding Lucy's hand as usual and left, and the Explorer patrol car parked on the side of the street also drove away.

When they arrived at the intersection at the same time, Lucy and Rem stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and waved to the police car that had turned.

"Goodbye! Uncle Yorks!"

Yorks withdrew his gaze from the two increasingly smaller figures in the car's rearview mirror, his lips slightly raised. He could hear Lucy's screams.

"Goodbye, Lucy."

York glanced at the police computer and slowly stepped on the accelerator towards the route that appeared on it.

Compared with the previous time when he led Keno, he preferred areas where more warnings could be seen.

This is a normal choice after your strength has gradually developed, just like leveling up in a game, even if your character's level is high, he or she will not always stay in the safe zone.
