Chapter 921 A Little Emotional (2/2)
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. According 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 relationship 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 relatives left in America, so I guess unless
there are any special incentives for him to come 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 to comfort 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 relationship.”
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 elaborate 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 villa, 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 become 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 looked completely lifeless.
