There were a total of 14 photos. The first photo was of a Chinese couple holding a baby girl. As the baby girl grew up, she became Rose.
In the eighth photo, there was another baby boy, and the family of three became a family of four.
Finally, when Rose was a young and beautiful girl, the photos stopped.
Li Du looked at the photos carefully. They should be Rose's parents and brother, but he had never heard the policewoman mention them.
Rose cleaned up the cutlery. When she came back, she saw Li Du looking at the photos. Her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly cleaned up the photos.
Li Du said, "I'm sorry, I might have touched your privacy."
Rose combed her hair with her hand and said in a low voice, "Oh, it's okay, it's not privacy. Help me move this bookcase."
The atmosphere was a little gloomy, and the policewoman was depressed. Obviously, the photos had brought back many bad memories.
After moving the bookcase, Li Du left and brewed a cup of fruit tea with dates, honey, and black tea.
He knocked on the door and sent her into the study. "I don't know what you've been through, Rose, but the British say that the only things you can't let down are sunshine and tea."
He put down the teacup and smiled. "Try this fruit tea, it's not bad."
Rose smiled back, but it was a forced smile. She hugged the warm teacup and said, "Thank you, Old Li. You can call me Luo Qun from now on."
"Your Chinese name?"
She nodded and said softly, "Actually, I like my Chinese name very much. But there was a time when I didn't like people calling me that."
Li Du asked, "Do I need to listen here?"
Rose took a sip of the tea and said, "Let me be alone. I want to be alone."
Li Du shrugged and turned to leave the study.
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles followed him. Before they left, they ran over and patted Rose's calf with their claws. They even rubbed their furry little heads against her hand.
The sadness in the policewoman's eyes gradually dissipated, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
Li Du said, "They want to stay with you. You can stay together tonight. Maybe it will make you feel better?"
That night, Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles slept with the policewoman.
Li Du didn't know what happened, but the next day, the policewoman was much nicer to them and allowed them to jump up and down in the house.
In the morning, after Big Quinn had finished his work, they went to the forest clearing to pack the goods in the car.
Godzilla and Big Quinn were shirtless as they worked. Hans was in charge, while Mr. Li became an idler, strolling in the woods with a beer in hand.
Seeing this, Hans shouted in dissatisfaction, "If you have nothing better to do, can you please scram?"
Li Du said, "I'm f * cking here to help you guys mentally!"
"F * ck you," Hans said angrily. "You're hurting our morale and wasting our cold beer!"
Li Du looked at the sky. It was already noon, and he had nowhere to go. After some thought, he called Sophie and asked, "Hi, lady, are you busy now?"
Sophie giggled and said, "What a coincidence. I was just about to call you. I'm off today, or rather, I'm off this afternoon."
Li Du was overjoyed and said, "Then shall we have tea together in the afternoon? The fruit tea I make is amazing. "
Speaking of this, he was a little embarrassed. He had just made tea for Luo Qun last night, and now he was making tea for Sophie. If the two ladies knew about this, they probably wouldn't drink his tea in the future.
Sophie said, "That's settled then. See you in the afternoon."
So, Mr. Li strolled in the woods for another hour and a half, and Hans was very envious.
After sorting out the groceries in the car, most of them weren't trash, but mostly abandoned props and tools from filming. Among them, the most valuable was a set of crystal chandeliers.
After checking, Big Quinn said that there were no problems with the wiring of the crystal chandeliers and that they could be used after hanging them up.
There were a total of five chandeliers. In the center was the main body with a lampshade. The area was about two square meters, and it was very spectacular. It was probably for use in the castle.
Surrounding it were four separate chandeliers with light yellow crystal chains hanging from them. Each chain had a small lamp in it. There were hundreds of chains in total, which meant that there were hundreds of lights!
Hans took a picture and showed it to Kevin, the owner of the grocery store. He said that if the lamps could be used, they would be very valuable and could be sold for at least 20,000 dollars.
Li Du was very satisfied with the price. He had spent 10,000 dollars to buy the storage of the lamps. At that time, he had used it to test Frank's bidding rules. He didn't expect to make money from it.
Obviously, this was a pleasant surprise.
At half past one, Sophie's shift ended and she could get off work. Li Du rode his motorcycle to pick her up.
The female doctor took off her white coat and changed into a very fashionable outfit. She wore a tight blue lace top that showed off her outstanding curves. Her perky breasts formed a sharp contrast with her flat belly.
She paired her lower body with a burgundy high-waist skirt. Her slender and compact waist was very suitable for wearing a high-waist skirt. This way, the curve of her lower abdomen would be even more beautiful.
The heels on her lower body were also bright burgundy, elegant and exquisite.
Seeing Li Du, Sophie ran over in small steps, took off her sunglasses, and shook her hair.
Instantly, her curly hair swayed smoothly. Under the sunlight, it looked like a golden waterfall sliding down.
"Very beautiful," Li Du praised.
Sophie smiled shyly and pulled the hem of her skirt. "Kanali suggested that I wear it this way. Actually, I think the skirt is a little short."
High-waist skirts were all above the knee. The female doctor's knees were pink and white, almost the same color as her skin. Obviously, she rarely showed her knees, which meant that she rarely wore short skirts.
Without a word, Li Du took off his jacket and wrapped it around her waist. "It's not short anymore. Come, get on the bike."
Sophie giggled and sat sideways on the motorcycle. If she didn't have a jacket to cover her body, she wouldn't be able to sit on the motorcycle in such a short skirt.
Kanali had also gotten off work. Seeing this scene, she waved her hand and said, "Come on, Li. A careful man is the most charming."
Li Du laughed heartily and stepped on the gas pedal.
The afternoon sun was hot, but there was a thick acacia tree in the yard of Sophie's house. Its green branches and leaves were luxuriant, and it was perfect for cooling off in the afternoon.
Li Du went into the kitchen and put away the black tea and fruits. He said, "You take a break. I'll prepare some fruit tea with some ice. It should taste good."
Sophie asked, "What am I doing here?"
Li Du smiled. "Waiting."
Sophie thought for a while and opened the piano cloth in the living room. She said, "Why don't I play a song for you? 'The Summer of Kikujiro.' How about this?"
Li Du was very happy. "Of course, I like this piano piece very much."
