Ste went back to have lunch at noon after she was done treating the patients in the morning.


    Allen had prepared chicken wings, steak, tomato soup, fish fillets, and sd.


    “Did you make all this?” Ste asked curiously.


    “Is it weird? I had nothing to do in the morning anyway. This way, you could at least eat immediately once you’re back,” Allen said with a smile.


    “Just looking at the dishes on this table makes me hungry. I’ll have a taste first,” Ste pinched a chicken wing with her hand and took a bite.“Wow, it’s delicious.”


    “Please wash your hands first,” Allen said.


    “Yes, sir,” Ste gobbled down the chicken wing in a few bites, went to wash her hands, and came back.


    Allen brought the tableware and cutlery out and said, “I wanted to make pork ribs, but I was worried that I might screw it up since I’ve never cooked it before.”C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Ste smiled and said, “I’ll teach you all my specialties when I’m free. You could open a restaurant and be a chef once you’ve learned all of them.”


    Allen picked up a piece of lettuce from the sd and gave it to Ste.“I only want to be your personal chef.”


    Ste did not respond to his words and continued to eat.


    “How was work in the morning? Did it go well?” Allen asked.


    “It went well. This patient of mine had obsessivepulsive disorder.He got much better after receiving treatment forfew times. So, I don’t think he needs toe next week. After all, my fees are not cheap,” Ste said with a smile.


    “My girlfriend is so capable. I’m a lucky man,” Allen said.


    “I have a patient in the afternoon, so I will be a tad bitte,” Ste said.


    “Will youe back for dinner tonight?” Allen asked.


    “Of course. No matter how tired I am, eating a meal at home will always make my fatigue disappear. What’s more, a prince from a fairy tale is cooking for me too,” Ste said teasingly.


    “You’re right. I want to live in a fairy tale world with yousince the ending of every fairy tale is thatthe prince and the princess live happily ever after,” Allen said happily.


    Ste alsoughed. She felt incredibly at ease when she was chatting with Allen.“I have some free time. Want to go for a walk together after lunch?”


    “Sure, if you don’t mind getting a tan,” Allen replied.


    Ste’s smile became brighter, “There is a benefit of living in the United States. No matter how tanned you be, no one will think that you are dark. No matter how pale you are, no one will say that you are whitebecause there are both white and ck people here.”


    “Could I say that your joke is prettyme?” Allen said bluntly.


    “Why don’t you tell a good joke then?” Ste picked up a piece of fish fillet and ced it on her te.


    She liked having fish.


    “There were two white people who gave birth to a dark child in the past. Do you know why?” Allen asked.


    “Their ancestors were dark, right? Your joke ismer than mine,” Ste said rudely.


    “It’s because his mother had eaten plenty of food with dark pigments during the pregnancy.”


    Ste was speechless.


    Allenughed as he spoke. He rubbed Ste’s head affectionately and said, “If I don’t tell a cold joke, how are we going to get through the hot summer?”


    Ste smiled, “Don’t worry,I have air conditioners in my house. Let’s eat. We’ll head outter.”


    “Alright.”


    After the meal.


    Allen went shopping with Ste. He held a ck umbre and helped to shade her from the zing sun.


    All of a sudden, her cell phone rang. When she saw that it was Vann, she sighed and said, “I don’t feel like working anymore.”


    Allen followed her and said, “Don’t do it if you don’t want to. Are you afraid that I can’t support you?”


    She was just ranting. She wasn’t doing it for the money to begin with.


    She answered the phone.


    “Ste, could youe over to the police station?” Vann asked.


    “What’s wrong? Is this about the Whiterobe sect?” Ste asked in return.


    “No, the Whiterobe Sect’s case has basically been solved. It’s about the bodies in the cages. We’ve got thetest data,” Vann said in a low voice.


    “The tasks you have on your te are much more than I expected.l couldn’t even take a breather,” Ste said directly.


    “I’m sorry. I’ll give you a week off after this case is resolved,” Vann said apologetically.


    “I understand. I’ll head over now. However, I still have two patients in the afternoon, so I have to leave before 2 p. m.,”Ste replied.


    “Alright.”


    Ste hung up the phone and looked at Allen.


    “It’s okay, go ahead. There will be ample time in the future,” Allen said with a smile.


    “Alright, then I’ll go to the police station first. See you in the evening. Don’t cook dinner, let’s eat out,” Ste said.


    Allen nodded.


    At the police station.


    Everyone else was already therewhen Ste arrived.


    Her gaze remained on Jasper’s face.


    Jasper did not look at her. He had his head lowered, and he seemed to be thinking about something.


    “You’re all here. Sheldon,would you care to exin to us in detailwhat’s going on?” Vann asked.


    “We’ve checked the threetest dead bodies. It’s very strange that we haven’t found the identities of these three people in this country. So, we had Edwin hack into other countries’ databasesbut we still couldn’t find the identity of these three people. In other words, we have no information at all about their identities. Itdoesn’t make sense,” Sheldon said.


    “What’s the cause of death?” Ste asked.


    “They drowned to death. They took sleeping pillsbefore they died. It seemed thatthey were locked in the cage after they fell asleep. After the cage was sealed, they were put in a fixed position, then they died that way,” Sheldon said in detail.


    “How old were they? Was there any blood rtion between the three of them?” Ste continued to ask.


    “The three of them are about the same age. They’re between 16 and 20 years old. They are not rted,” Sheldon answered.


    “A bunch of people died, and they have no identity. Even if they were smugglers, they would still have some kind of identity. Why did they die? Why did they die in such a pattern? Who did it? What was it for? Was it to satisfy their desire to kill someone?” Ray murmured thoughtfully.


    “Are there any other clues? What about their gender? Do they have any ear piercings?Any special markings on their body? Or do they have any old wounds on their body?” Narrowing her eyes, Ste pondered and asked.


    “I will send the detailed information to you all,” Sheldon handed them the very detailed documents.


    “These people didn’t have any essories on them,but they have many old injuries on them. When they died, no one called the police, no one came to im them, and they don’t even have an identity card either. If my guess is right, they might have been kidnapped when they were little, locked up on an ind, and were trained for a long time. The reason for their death might be because they were not skillful enough and were abandoned by the organization,” Ste conjectured.


    Jasper looked at Ste.“I think that your guess is reasonable.”


    “So, what should we do next?” Sheldon asked.


    “Don’t post the pictures first. If those people learn about it, it would be even harder to arrest them.


    Let’spare the cases of all the lost children to judge the true identities of these three victims.


    Also, why did they have to drown those bodies in one specific ce instead of in random spots? I suggest that we use the satellite to keep a close eye on that ce and follow them. We might be able to locate their base if we’re lucky,” Ste suggested.


    “That makes sense. Let’s do that first. Ray, write a report for me. I’ll apply for satellite support,” Vann said.


    Ste looked at her watch. It was still early, so she stood up and said, “Then I’ll wait for your good news. ck, let’s go.”
