Chapter 270 269. Grilled Fish in the Rain (3)
Li Du kept sending Sophie to the door, and he didn't leave until she confirmed that everything was safe.
Before leaving, he said: "You set my phone as an emergency number, call me immediately if you have any questions, OK?"
Sophie took out her mobile phone to show him, and said with a shy smile, "I set it up before, I think you are a very reliable person."
This shy smile dilutes Li Du's gloomy mood caused by Rose's teenage experience. He saw Sophie turn off the lights outside the window before leaving.
Sleeping too late, he woke up very late the next day, and when he opened the door after waking up, a face appeared in front of him——Rose looked straight at him.
Li Du was startled, and shouted, "Shit, what are you doing?"
Rose asked blankly, "I was drunk last night, wasn't I?"
"It seems so." Li Du nodded.
"Then what did I say last night? Did I reveal some of my privacy?" Rose's face became gloomy.
Li Du shook his head: "No, what privacy did you say?"
"In my memory, I blurted out some things at the time."
Li Du shook his head firmly: "You must be drunk and have hallucinations. You didn't say anything and went to sleep when you came back."
Rose asked sullenly, "Then, who changed my clothes last night? Who wiped my face and hands?"
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't do it, it was Sophie who did it for you." Li Du quickly explained, he was worried that the female policeman drew his gun again if the explanation was too late.
After hearing what he said, Rose showed a frustrated expression: "Damn it, I knew it wasn't an illusion. I was really talking nonsense with you and Sophie!"
"ah?"
"I remember that when I got back to the room, I said something nonsense, you and Sophie both heard it, and then Sophie helped me change my clothes and scrub my hands and feet." Rose said.
Li Du said: "If I say that only the first half of your memory is an illusion, and the second half of your memory is real, do you believe it or not?"
Rose said coldly: "I said my gun uses soft rubber bullets, do you believe it?"
Li Du said helplessly, "I don't believe it."
Rose kicked the door angrily, and shouted: "Damn it, I really said those things, damn it, damn it! Why am I drunk? There's something wrong with your wine!"
"It's Hans who brewed the wine, and it has nothing to do with me." Li Du quickly cleared himself up.
Rose sat on the sofa, her face was as gloomy as the sky outside.
After two consecutive months of high temperature and strong sunshine, it is finally going to rain.
Li Du didn't know what to say, so he sat beside her in silence.
Ah Miao came out stretched. It was very sensitive. It immediately sensed the weirdness of the atmosphere, so it immediately put away its waist, and then carefully lay on Li Du's lap, also very silent.
After the crisp noodles came out, it saw that Ah Miao was silent, so it also fell silent.
Half an hour later, when the wind started to blow outside, Rose asked, "Did you close the window?"
Li Du said, "No."
Rose asked, "Have you cooked yet?"
Li Du was taken aback, and said, "No."
Rose said angrily: "Then why are you sitting here? It's going to rain heavily soon, go and close the windows and cook!"
Li Du shrugged, he felt that he had to follow Rose's wishes at this time.
This matter came to an end for the time being, Rose did not mention it again, and Li Du would not mention it.
After the wind blows, the torrential rain pours down.
Li Du stood at the window and looked out. The street was soon filled with rainwater, and the sewer had no time to drain it. The rainwater accumulated on the side of the road, and the water was rolling.
After the wind lessened, he opened the window.
The wind blowing from the rain is very cool. After such a long time of sweltering heat, suddenly feeling this kind of wind makes Mr. Li's cool legs tremble.
Rose opened the door to go to work, and Li Du asked, "It's raining so hard, do you want to ask for leave?"
The female policeman snorted and said, "How can such a good life be, I'm a policeman!"
She went out and came back again, and said, "Just treat me as nonsense about what happened last night, don't tell anyone, you know?"
Li Du was dissatisfied: "Am I the kind of person who chews my tongue?"
"You're not, but you may have accidentally told Hans that that bastard Hans is definitely a tongue-chewing guy!" said the policewoman.
Li Du felt that this made sense, and he couldn't refute it at all.
The policewoman hesitated for a moment, and said, "Please go and tell Dr. Martin, and please don't spread such things to the outside world."
Li Du said: "I will."
The policewoman continued to hesitate, and then said: "Li, I'm serious, don't spread this matter."
"I know." Li Du promised.
The female policeman shook her head and said, "No, you don't know. The reason why I came to Flagstaff City to be a policeman is to investigate this case. The murderer may be in Flagstaff City!"
Li Du thought that she didn't let her speak out to protect her privacy, but he didn't expect that there was such a relationship.
"Are you serious?" he asked. "How do you know?"
"It was found out. This tragedy finally became an unsolved case. Those incompetent idiots in San Francisco failed to solve the case. I later went to college to study criminal investigation and have been working hard to investigate this matter. The last thing I found out was that the two beasts might In Flagstaff."
As she spoke, Rose's tone became colder and colder.
Li Du said: "I will not tell anyone about this matter. If you need help, you may wish to find me. You know that I am very observant."
Rose nodded and left, giving him a grateful look as she left.
In the morning, the pouring rain continued, and he had nowhere to go, so he read a book at home.
Alone at noon, he saw some fish in the refrigerator, so he wanted to make some grilled dried fish.
This thing is very simple. Rose's house has a large balcony, put a grill, open all the windows on the balcony, and use a fan to blow it, so there will be no oily smoke left in the house.
It was still windy and windy outside. Li Du sat on the balcony and put the fish on the grill. He divided it into two parts. One part was smeared with oil, sprinkled with cumin powder and chili powder, and the other part was simply dry-roasted.
Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles sat obediently beside them, raising their heads and staring at the fish on the shelf with great anticipation.
The grilled fish slowly released its aroma, and Ah Miao couldn't help swallowing, and finally couldn't help it, jumping one meter high, continuously bouncing and looking at the grilled fish.
Li Du grilled the fish until it was about four or five years old, and then took it off and shared a piece with Ah Miao and the Crispy Noodles.
Ah Meow devoured it voraciously, and turned around to grab the fish in the mouth of the crispy noodles.
The crispy noodles were robbed with a dazed expression: I just took a bite!
Li Du quickly gave it another piece, but Ah Miao continued to gobble it up and wanted to snatch it away.
This time, Crispy Noodles was on the defensive. It pinched the fish meat with its claws and stuffed it under its buttocks. It sat on it, its eyes widened and its teeth bared, and it roared threateningly at Meow.
Ah Meow showed her sharp claws, and when she saw the crispy noodles, she faltered, and stepped aside sullenly, revealing the piece of fish that was squashed by it...
