Li Du walked Sophie to the door and waited until she was sure everything was safe before leaving.
Before leaving, he said, "Set my phone as an emergency number. If there's any problem, call me immediately, okay?"
Sophie took out her phone and showed it to him. She smiled shyly and said, "I've already set it up. I think you're a very reliable person."
This shy smile washed away Li Du's gloomy mood caused by Rose's experience. He watched Sophie turn off the lights before leaving.
He slept too late and woke up late the next day. The moment he opened the door, a face appeared in front of him — Rose, staring straight at him.
Li Du was shocked and shouted, "Sh * t, what's going on?"
Rose asked expressionlessly, "I was drunk last night, right?"
"Seems like it." Li Du nodded.
"Then what did I say last night? Did I spill some of my secrets? "Rose's face started to turn gloomy.
Li Du shook his head. "I don't think so. What secrets did you say?"
"In my memory, I blurted out some things in a daze."
Li Du shook his head firmly. "You must have been drunk and hallucinating. You didn't say anything and went back to sleep."
Rose asked darkly, "Then, who changed my clothes last night? Who cleaned my face and hands? "
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't do it. Sophie did it for you," Li Du quickly explained. He was worried that if he explained too slowly, the policewoman would take out her gun again.
Hearing his words, Rose showed a defeated expression. "D * mn it, I knew it wasn't a hallucination. I really spouted nonsense to you and Sophie!"
"Huh?"
"I remember when I returned to the room, I said some nonsense. You and Sophie heard it. Then Sophie helped me change my clothes and cleaned my hands and feet," Rose said.
Li Du said, "If I said that only the first half of your memory was a hallucination and the second half was real, would you believe me?"
Rose said coldly, "If I said that my gun used soft rubber bullets, would you believe me?"
Li Du said helplessly, "No."
Rose kicked the door angrily and shouted, "D * mn it, I really said those things. D * mn it, d * mn it! Why was I drunk? There's something wrong with your wine! "
"Hans brewed the wine. It has nothing to do with me." Li Du quickly cleared his name.
Rose sat on the sofa, her face as gloomy as the sky outside.
After two consecutive months of high temperature and strong sunlight, it was finally going to rain.
Li Du didn't know what to say, so he sat beside her in silence.
Ah Meow stretched his back and came out. He was very sensitive and immediately sensed the strange atmosphere. He immediately stopped stretching and carefully lay on Li Du's lap. He was also very quiet.
When Crispy Noodles came out, he saw that Ah Meow was very quiet, so he also became quiet.
After a full half an hour, the wind started blowing outside. Rose then said, "Did you close the window?"
Li Du said, "No."
Rose asked, "Did you cook?"
Li Du was stunned and said, "No."
Rose said angrily, "Then why are you sitting here? It's going to rain heavily soon. Go close the windows and cook! "
Li Du shrugged. He felt that he had to go along with Rose's wishes.
This matter had temporarily come to an end. Rose did not bring it up again, and Li Du would not bring it up either.
After the wind started blowing, the heavy rain came pouring down.
Li Du stood in front of the window and looked out. The streets were quickly overflowing with rainwater. The sewers could not drain it in time, and the rainwater accumulated by the roadside.
After the wind subsided a little, he opened the window.
The wind from the rain was very cool. After such a long period of stifling heat, suddenly feeling this kind of wind made Mr. Li's leg hairs shiver in pleasure.
Rose opened the door to go to work. Li Du asked, "Such heavy rain, do you want to take a day off?"
The policewoman snorted, "How can I be so lucky? I'm a policewoman!"
She walked out of the door and came back. "About what happened last night, just treat it as me talking nonsense. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
Li Du said unhappily, "Am I the kind of person who would gossip?"
"You're not, but you might accidentally tell Hans. Hans, that b * stard, is definitely a person who gossips!" the policewoman said.
Li Du felt that what she said made sense, and he could not refute her.
The policewoman hesitated for a while and said, "Please go and tell Dr. Martin not to tell anyone else about this."
Li Du said, "I will."
The policewoman continued to hesitate, and then said, "Li, I'm serious. Don't tell anyone else."
"I know," Li Du promised.
The policewoman shook her head and said, "No, you don't know. The reason I came to Flagstaff to be a policewoman is to investigate this case. The culprit might be in Flagstaff!"
Li Du thought that she did not want to tell anyone else because she wanted to protect her privacy. He did not know that there was such a relationship.
"Are you serious?" he asked. "How do you know?"
"I found out. This tragedy eventually became an unsolved case. Those incompetent idiots in San Francisco could not solve the case. After that, I went to college and studied criminal investigation. I've been trying my best to investigate this case. In the end, I found out that the two b * stards might be in Flagstaff. "
As she spoke, Rose's tone became colder.
Li Du said, "I won't tell anyone about this. If you need any help, feel free to look for me. You know that I'm very observant."
Rose nodded and left. When she left, she gave him a grateful look.
In the morning, the rain continued to pour. He had nowhere to go, so he stayed at home to read.
In the afternoon, when he was alone, he saw that there was some fish in the fridge. He wanted to make some grilled fish.
It was very simple. Rose's house had a large balcony. He put a grill on it, opened all the windows on the balcony, and used a fan to blow. That way, there would be no smoke left in the house.
It was still raining outside. Li Du sat on the balcony and put the fish on the grill. He divided it into two parts. One part was greased with oil and sprinkled with cumin and chili powder. The other part was simply grilled.
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles sat obediently at the side. They raised their heads and stared expectantly at the fish on the grill.
The aroma of the grilled fish slowly spread. Ah Meow could not help but swallow his saliva. In the end, he could not help but jump a meter high.
Li Du roasted the fish until it was almost done. He took it off and gave Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles a piece each.
Ah Meow gobbled it up and turned around to snatch the fish from Crispy Noodles' mouth.
Crispy Noodles was dumbfounded. I only had one bite!
Li Du quickly gave him another piece. Ah Meow continued to wolf down the fish and wanted to snatch it back.
This time, Crispy Noodles was on guard. He used his claws to squeeze the fish under his butt and sat on it. He bared his teeth and glared at Ah Meow, growling threateningly.
Ah Meow flashed his sharp claws. Seeing this, Crispy Noodles was terrified. He moved away unhappily, revealing the flattened fish.
