Evan returned to the room without participating in the draw.

I didn't go to eat lunch either.

He was introspective.

Why is it mistaken for a "comrade"?

Is it because William is too "enthusiastic" that others misunderstand?

It's possible!

But......

Evan did not lose a trace of details, carefully recalled his actions this week, and found that he was not at fault at all.

His worldview was formed in an era when "comrades" dared to come out openly and their aesthetics became more and more feminine. Therefore, although he himself has a normal sexual orientation, his acceptance of same-sex interaction is much higher than that of people of this era.

Some of the behaviors that could be considered abnormal in the eyes of people in this day and age are not unacceptable in Evan's eyes.

This is the generation gap between the two eras.

But Evan didn't notice that.

After reflection, Evan did not consider himself unlucky.

Suddenly being taken for a "comrade", Evan felt that this was not normal.

Comrades are not accepted in this era.

It is considered a form of psychosis.

In the United States, because of its strong religious atmosphere, homosexuality is excluded and restricted by the whole society. Homosexuals are afraid to identify themselves because if they are discovered, they risk losing their jobs and even being interfered with by the police.

For Evan, the label of homosexuality is even more unacceptable.

Because he is the son of the governor.

This label will not only drive Evan into the abyss, but also have a huge negative impact on Earl.

You must know that in the image label on Earle's body, in addition to the serious image of anti-corruption and punishment of crime, there is also a gentle image of a model husband and wife and a harmonious family.

If the image is damaged, Earl's political career is bound to make waves.

This is the time for the midterm elections and the California general election, and it is a time for various forces to wrestle. If someone catches this pigtail, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be an accident.

Although the primaries are over and Earle's approval rating is too high for anyone to fight, there is still more than a month before the official vote (November) is still in place. With such a long time, no one can guarantee the final result.

When he thought of this possibility, Evan couldn't help but "think too much".

It's not a delusional episode of his murder.

It's better to say that in a family like his, it is normal to "think too much".

After combing through the bits and pieces of the week once again, Evan found a few more things that were out of order.

First, accidents around him were too frequent, from the bathroom, to the dining room, to a few other accidents that seemed to be just accidents at the time, but in fact there were some abnormal accidents;

Second, William was too enthusiastic about him, even though he was from Hawaii;

Third, it seems strange that many of the people around him seem to identify themselves as "comrades" as Ralph, but they all actively avoid this fact in front of them, which seems to be ...... Tips?

Finally, and most bizarrely, he didn't meet Harry Leon once during the four neighborhoods, and Rogers once said that he didn't live off-campus.

Thinking of this, Evan jumped out of bed, opened his notebook, and wrote down a few names in branches on a blank page, followed by the corresponding comments.

Harry Leon: There is a holiday, there is a motive, there is a hidden spirit.

William Silves: Unknown purpose, inclination towards friendliness, misleading behavior, deliberately, unintentionally? (Evan underlines 'unintentionally')

Ralph: A representative of the 'insiders', the only one who tells the 'truth';

After writing the above three lines, Evan paused for a moment, and then wrote on another line:

Democratic party?

Republican?

After thinking for a moment, Evan wrote on the Democratic side: "Not reconciled? Robert Kenny ......"

As soon as he finished writing the name, Evan shook his head and crossed it out.

The Attorney General is an admirer of his own father, and this should not be the case.

"James Roosevelt?"

Evan's pen nodded to the name, without drawing conclusions.

Then, Evan added a note after the three words Republican: "Infighting?"

After a while, Evan crossed out the word again.

He looked back, his gaze wandering over the first three names.

His intuition told him that the first three suspicions were a little greater.

Half an hour later, Evan wrote "revenge" next to "Harry Leon" and used an arrow to connect the two words.

Then there is "Accident", which in turn connects it to "Harry Lyon".

Then there is "rumor-mongering", which Evan still points to "Harry Lyon".

Finally, Evan wrote the words "no evidence" on the line.

"How do you find (evidence)?"

Evan drew several circles in a row on the word "evidence", and a moment later he drew a circle on "Ralph".

By the time Evan had finished his thoughts, the time was already three o'clock.

At half past three in the afternoon, Carl arrived at Caltech.

He's here to deliver information to Evan.

These materials come from the project team of United Carbon that has signed a R&D contract with Alphabet, and are about the progress report of the project in the past three months and the corresponding experimental data.

These are all required by the contract and need to be reviewed by Alphabet, after which Alphabet will pay for subsequent R&D expenses.

Who will review it, naturally only Evan!

Walking into the dormitory, Carl was about to hand over a centimeter-thick document bag to Evan, but Evan looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You're here just in time, I have something to ask you for." ”

Carl held the document bag and habitually asked, "What company are you going to register this time?"

"......" Evan looked at Carl speechlessly.

Karl shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help it for a while!"

Evan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, this time it's your area of expertise!"

"I want you to be my lawyer again?"

"Lawyer?" Karl's face sank and he asked, "What, someone is bothering you?"

……

Half an hour later, Evan appeared at the door of 201 with Carl.

201 counts as the administrative office of BlackerHouse.

After knocking on the door, someone opened the door.

Seeing that it was Evan, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Evan, I knew you would come back!"

Evan stretched out his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "Chairman Orville, I'm here to ask you for help." ”

After shaking hands, Orville Caldwell ushered the two into the house. After the two sides sat down on either side of a desk, Evan didn't make his request, and Orville said, "Say, Evan, how do you want me to help you......!"

Avan was a little surprised and asked, "Chairman, can I know why?"

Orville smiled and said, "Evan, you don't have to be surprised, not to mention that you are Virginia's brother, your own name alone is enough for me to take so seriously." ”

"The Rubik's Cube you made stumped me for a long time!"

Evan was a little puzzled when he heard this, "My sister Virginia?"

Seeing this, Orville explained: "If you don't mind, please let me introduce myself again, my name is Orville Caldwell, my father is Robert Caldwell is the first deputy mayor of Los Angeles, and my father and I attended Sister Ling's birthday party a few months ago." ”

Robert Caldwell is a Republican.

After attending a banquet, he naturally knows Evan, and may even know that he has a girlfriend named Audrey, knowing that his orientation is normal.

Evan suddenly realized.

In this way, he is much more relieved.
