    Li Du drove back to the vi and saw two beautifuldies chatting away under the big


    oak tree in the front yard. Several dogs were crouching on the ground in fear, as if they


    were dead bodies drying out in the sun.


    The four little ones were like that too at first, but once they saw Li Du, they quickly ran


    over to him.


    Ady dressed in a police outfit gave a cough, and the four little ones stopped running


    mid-way and crouched down again.


    When Li Du saw that, he said curiously, “Hi, Luo Qun, why are you here?”


    “Aren’t you d to see me?” Luo Qun asked with a gloomy face. “I’ve been in Phoenix


    for almost a month now, you have also arrived over ten days ago, and you didn’t even


    give me a call?”


    Li Du secretly thought to himself, Why would I give you a call when Sophie is still


    jealous? He changed the subject and said, “What happened to these dogs? Howe


    are they so obedient?”


    Luo Qun simply said, “Oh, when I came they kept barking nonstop and it looked like


    they wanted to attack me, so I pulled out my gun and took a shot…”


    Saying that, she took out her gun and showed it to Li Du.


    The group of hounds that were huddling on the floor pulled their tails between their legs


    at once and whimpered in terror.


    Li Du was speechless. “You took a shot?”


    “In the air,” Luo Qun said simply.


    Li Du said, “Then how are you going to exin that your gun is missing a bullet?”


    Luo Qun said, “This gun is my private property, it is not registered with the police


    station, so why would I need to exin it?”


    Li Du was shocked. “You carry a gun when you’re not on duty? Aren’t you afraid that the


    cops…”


    “I am a cop,” she said overbearingly.


    Sophie exined to him, “Ah Meow was being too naughty. After Rose came over, they


    drove the hounds to scare her off, but in the end, they were the ones who got a scare.”


    The four little ones huddled down together, looking sorry and ncing at Rose


    asionally with expressions full of respect.


    Li Du wanted to give this female police officer a thumb up. Thisdy was a hero.


    Luo Qun already knew that Li Du wasing to Phoenix. However, as she has just


    arrived at the new ce, she did not have much leisure, and had to spend most of her


    time working.


    Today was her first day off after moving to this new unit, so she took the opportunity to


    visit Li Du. She did not say she wasing to visit Sophie, just Li Du. Sophie was very


    sensitive and noticed this.


    The sky was almost dark, and Li Du invited Luo Qun to stay for dinner.


    Luo Qun was a simple and straightdy, and said directly, “You don’t need to work too


    hard to convince me, of course I will stay. I haven’t eaten your dishes in a long time.”


    Li Du smiled. “Then give it your best tonight, eat more.”


    The police officer nodded her head happily. “Alright, I will pack some leftovers as well.”


    Li Du was stunned. Does she have to be so direct?


    Seeing the change in his expression, the police officerughed out loud. “I’m just


    kidding.”


    Without waiting for Li Du to respond, she added, “I will pack plenty of leftovers, so you


    had better cook something that is easy to store. I’ve been eating fast food every day


    recently, and I’m sick of it.”


    Li Du sighed, “Alright.”


    Sophie was the first to say, “I’ll go and prepare the food for you first, and you can talk to


    Rose here. After all, you guys haven’t seen each other in a while, so there must be a lot


    to talk about.”


    Li Du shook his head and said, “Why would there be anything in particr?”


    Luo Qun said, “There is, in fact, quite a bit.”


    Sophie gave Mr. Li a look that said, you had better exin this to meter, and went


    away to clean up the kitchen.


    After she left, Luo Qun said, “I want to talk to you about my parents’ case.”


    Upon hearing this, Li Du perked up and said, “Are there any leads? Did you find that


    bastard Jonas Malone?”


    Luo Qun’s eyes became a little dull, and she shook her head as she said, “I couldn’t find


    him. The bastard had left Phoenix ten years ago and had gone abroad. ording to the


    most recent information I have, he went to Russia.”


    “Russia?” Li Du asked, stunned.


    Luo Qun nodded. “Yes, Russia. Ten years ago!”


    While she uttered these words, she was biting her lips.


    Li Du became quiet. The murder case of Luo Qun’s family happened exactly ten years


    ago. If what she said was true, the murderer fled from America and went to Russia, the


    country that had the worst diplomatic rtionship with the United States.


    Judging from this data, it was quite possible that Jonas Malone was the killer.


    Li Du asked, “What do you think? You won’t go to Russia, right?”


    Luo Qun looked a little depressed. She said, “I will most definitely go, but I don’t know


    yet how I should do that. He didn’t have any rtives left in America, so I guess unless


    there are any special incentives for him toe back, he never will. But I will definitely


    catch him, I will make him answer for his crimes!” As if making a solemn oath, the police


    officer said to herself in atone as firm as steel.


    Li Du did not know how tofort her. He only knew that he had no way to persuade


    her.


    Seeking for justice and revenge for her parents was the only reason that kept Luo Qun


    going until now. This had taken over her life, and she would never change her mind


    about this.


    As a friend, therefore, Li Du said, “Just do it then, I will help you.”


    Hearing his words, Luo Qun smiled and said, “I can handle it on my own. There won’t


    be any problem. You had better stay with Sophie, as I think she might have


    misunderstood our rtionship.”


    Li Du waved his hand and said, “No, she hadn’t.”


    Luo Qun looked at him with the hint of a smile, and said, “No? Do you doubt my vision


    and intuition as professional detective?”


    Li Du opened his arms in a gesture of surrender.


    Sophie had, in fact, some thoughts about Luo Qun. It was obvious at dinnertime. She


    prepared an borate dinner, to show off to Luo Qun this excellent side of hers.


    Compared to most women, Sophie’s cooking skills were very extraordinary. After


    moving to this new vi, she has been preparing meals for everyone.


    In the morning, she had baked pumpkin pudding. She made it in the proper way, which


    was emptying out little pumpkins and pouring their shredded flesh into the cavity along


    with coconut water and coconut milk, then sprinkling cheese powder and drizzling syrup


    over the top before baking.


    The pumpkin pudding was good to eat after cooling down, and would also keep well.


    Sophie had cut the pumpkin into a few slices, the same way she would have done with


    watermelon.


    Li Du entered the kitchen and said, “Don’t overwork yourself, sweetheart. Let me cook.”


    Sophie said in a slight temper, “Fine, you cook, then. You haven’t cooked in a while.


    Now that Rose is here, you can be the man who likes to cook again.”


    Li Du couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you getting a little emotional? Could you be jealous?”


    Sophie made a face at him, looking very upset.


    He pulled Sophie into his embrace and looked out from the window as he said in a low


    voice, “Just now Rose and I were discussing the murder case of her family. I assisted


    her in finding some clues. This case had been abandoned by the police. Apart from


    myself, there is no one else who is willing to help her.”


    Sophie was stunned, and said, “Are there any new clues in this case?”


    The two of them looked outside. Luo Qun was sitting alone in the shade of the wide


    tree. She was expressionless, and lookedpletely lifeless.
