Luo Qun walked backward, winking at Sophie as she walked. She looked very mischievous.
However, this was not her true character. Both Li Du and Sophie felt that something was wrong. If something was wrong, there must be something wrong.
Moreover, Luo Qun's expression showed that she was reluctant to leave. Her smile was very sweet, which was even more unusual. Li Du had never seen her show such emotions.
Sophie pushed Li Du and said, "Go, go ask what's going on."
Li Du said, "She obviously doesn't want to say. It must have something to do with the murder of her parents and brother …"
Sophie pushed him stubbornly and said, "We don't want to invade her privacy, but I dare say that it's not that simple. Something must have happened. She needs help, Li. Really, I know she needs someone to help her. "
Li Du pinched her face and smiled. "You're so kind."
Sophie's face darkened. "Stop fooling around. Go ask what's going on."
She knew that she and Luo Qun were not that close, so she did not follow.
The five little ones wanted to follow, but she dragged them back one by one. She scolded, "You guys are the most curious. Why are you so curious?"
Ah Meng stared at Luo Qun's police uniform. It vaguely felt that something was wrong. It wanted revenge, but who did it seek revenge from? It seemed that someone had provoked it just now.
It subconsciously ran forward, and a jar of honey appeared in front of it.
Ah Meng's eyes lit up, and it stared straight at the jar of honey. The jar moved backward, and it trotted behind.
Sophie put the jar on the table and pointed below. "Come and sit down, and you'll have honey."
Ah Meng was very obedient, and it sat there, drooling.
Li Du walked over to Luo Qun and found that she was still looking into the house. He looked back and saw that everything was normal. Sophie was teaching the five little ones not to be mischievous.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" he asked.
Luo Qun shook her head. "Nothing, Li, really nothing. Do you know, I used to wonder why your pet was so clever and intelligent? "
Li Du laughed dryly. "Maybe they were born smart?"
Luo Qun said, "No, it's Sophie who takes good care of them. She's good at educating them, isn't she? I really envy her. Really, she's perfect. "
Li Du asked, "What's going on, Luo Qun? You don't look right now."
Luo Qun shook her head again and said, "It's really nothing. I'll be leaving first."
Li Du stopped her and frowned. "Do you even think of me as a friend?"
Luo Qun said very seriously, "No."
Li Du was stunned. He did not know what to feel.
Luo Qun continued, "I treat you like a brother. Really, I treat you like a good brother. You have helped me a lot, a lot. We are no longer just friends."
Li Du grinned. "Since you treat me like a brother, then don't hide it from me. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? What are you going to do after you quit?"
"I see you as a brother, so I can't say more." Luo Qun slung her shirt over her shoulder. "Goodbye, Li. The next time we meet, I'll tell you everything, but not this time. I can't be a selfish, bad woman."
Li Du wanted to chase after her, but Luo Qun left without hesitation. After getting into the car, she started the engine and sped away.
Looking at the disappearing back view of the police car, Li Du felt helpless.
Sophie walked over and asked, "You didn't get anything out of her?"
Li Du smiled bitterly. "You don't understand her character. She's too stubborn. It's like she's made of steel."
Sophie held his hand and said softly, "If she wasn't stubborn enough, if she didn't have nerves of steel, I'm afraid she would have broken down under the pressure."
They could all guess the reason for Luo Qun's resignation. It must have something to do with her family's case. But for some reason, Luo Qun refused to say anything.
The last time she wanted to leave Flagstaff and come to Phoenix, she had told Li Du. She had even informed him in advance.
From this, Li Du and Sophie realized that the place Luo Qun was going to this time must be very dangerous.
When they parted, Luo Qun's behavior was like a final greeting, as if this breakup was a permanent one.
Sophie was very kind, and she sympathized with Luo Qun. She and Li Du continued to think of ways to figure out the cause of the matter and help Luo Qun.
Li Du teased, "This must be a troublesome matter. If we intervene, we might be dragged into it. Don't you think it's troublesome?"
Sophie smiled bitterly. "How can I not think it's troublesome? I'm not the Virgin Mary. But other than us, who else can help her? This stubborn girl! "
Li Du did not make a move. A sudden incident had disrupted his plan.
Two days later, a group of people were having lunch.
Ah Ow, who was holding a lamb bone and chewing, suddenly jumped up. She opened her mouth and howled wildly, "Awoo, awoo! Awoo! "
Ah Meow howled as well. It jumped onto the table and flipped the plate on the table with its paw.
Lu Guan was shocked and shouted, "What's wrong? Is it rabies?"
Ah Meow dragged Li Du's shirt out. At this time, Ah Meng stood up and pointed outside, screaming, "Awoo! Tsk tsk! Tsk tsk! "
Li Du reacted and said, "Let's go out first. There's something!"
The moment his voice fell, a feeling of the earth shaking and the sky shaking appeared.
First, the chandelier in the dining room swayed. Soon, the glass on the wall, the table, and the furniture began to shake.
Brother Wolf swung a chair and smashed it against the window. He picked up his daughter and pulled Li Du out, shouting, "Earthquake! Let's go! "
"God!" Luo Qun and the others were stunned.
Brother Wolf threw his daughter out of the window and came back to pick up Victoria. He shouted, "It's a longitudinal wave now. It's safe. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Godzilla and Big Quinn reacted and quickly threw the children out, then Sophie, Rosalind, and the other women out. The men were the last to leave.
Li Du stood on the lawn and looked at the scene in front of him in panic. The solid villa was shaking violently. The shaking was not very big, but they could clearly feel it. It was an earthquake!
There was a lawnmower on the lawn. This was what Big Quinn had used to clean the lawn in the morning.
The lawnmower shook and fell on the lawn. Then, it jumped up again. The shock wave was getting stronger!
Not far away, the electric poles and trees shook, and there was a crackling sound in the house. This was the result of furniture and appliances collapsing or falling.
The surroundings of the villa were quiet. There were not many residents. They looked into the distance and could see people running in panic on the street. Some people were screaming in fear!
The sky was overcast, and the clouds were like rolling waves. Combined with what was happening on the ground, Li Du felt like the end of the world.
Fortunately, the villa did not collapse.
