Consciously doing something wrong, Hannah returned home to Zongheng in every possible way, which can be described as tactful, and almost took the initiative to give Zongheng a Guan-style service to eliminate his unhappiness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But the results were not as good as they could have been. Having a heart for Hannah to remember the lesson, he kept ignoring her welcome, which made Hannah feel apprehensive and restless throughout the evening.

Until Lydia returned home in the evening, she could still feel that the atmosphere between the two was unusual.

"What's wrong with you? Quarreled? Lydia looked at the two of them curiously, eating the dinner she had set aside for her.

"Nothing." Zongheng replied vaguely. He didn't want Lydia to know about his memories just yet.

In order to divert Lydia's attention, Zongheng turns the conversation to the progress of the assassination case.

He asked, "You haven't been back for a few days, what's going on with that case?" ”

Lydia wiped her mouth and said, "I'm coming back today to talk to you about this. Hannah, you sit down too. ”

The three of them sat down at the table, and Lydia said, "Uncle and Coolo's case, let Moretti be in charge of the investigation. I and the other agents are keeping an eye on the Lukese family and other gangsters these days to keep them from messing around. From what I've been told so far, because the Luchese family is not cooperating with Moretti's investigation, she hasn't made much progress right now. ”

"Why don't the Lukese family cooperate? Do they want to look it up for themselves? Zongheng asked.

Lydia nodded, "That's right. The Lukese family is now Kevin Belloc at the helm. But he lacks prestige, and many people in the family oppose him, so he proposes a solution for his successor, that is, whoever can avenge Colano's uncle and nephew will be the boss. Because of this incident, the people of the Colano family have been very restless in recent days. At the same time, they are also very resistant to the FBI's involvement. ”

"That's good. I'm afraid that they will actively cooperate with Moretti. If the two of them get together, we will be in a dangerous situation. Zongheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"But don't take it lightly." Lydia added, "I got the news that Moretti and Probert are in the background of Chaabigail. Hannah, be careful, Moretti knows you, and it may not be long before Moretti finds out about you. When the time comes, don't forget what I told you, you have to deal with it. ”

Hannah nodded hurriedly.

Zongheng couldn't help but stab her again: "You must think clearly before you speak, and control your emotions." ”

Hannah froze when she heard this, and did not dare to speak.

Lydia swept their faces with an inquiring gaze, but neither Zongheng nor Hannah had any intention of helping her solve her questions.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing the two speak, Lydia had no choice but to find something to say, "By the way, Nemo." You're going to school today, aren't you? Did you feel good on your first day of school? ”

Zongheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay." I met two new friends. One is Chinese, called Yuan Yi. Her family also lives in Hyde Park. The other was Connor, who was about my age and was in 10th grade. ”

"Really? That's great. "I'm worried that you're not used to your first day of school!" I didn't expect you to meet two friends on the first day. So I'm relieved! ”

He laughed dryly, hesitating whether to tell Lydia about Harry.

But before he could speak, Lydia could already see the clue from his demeanor. She hurriedly asked, "What?" Is there something else going on at school? ”

Zongheng told Lydia about Harry, and repeated Yuanyi's warning by the way.

After hearing this, Lydia's brows furrowed suddenly, and she said, "You should be talking about Councilor James Evans." There were rumours of collusion between him and the Lukese family, but there was never any evidence to prove this. But since you have been warned that it has been an eventful time recently, it is best not to act rashly, so as not to attract the attention of those who have a heart. ”

"I see." Vertical and horizontal casually perfunctory. He only said that he knew, but he didn't say that he would definitely recruit it.

Lydia didn't notice the perfunctory of Zongheng, she had other things on her mind. After her last bite of dinner, Lydia wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Nemo slept with me today." ”

"Why?" Hannah didn't expect Lydia to say this, and immediately stood up like a cat that had been robbed of a small dried fish.

Lydia said lightly: "I have been away from home for the past few days, and Nemo has been with you. It's my turn today, isn't it? ”

"It's ......," Hannah was speechless, for Lydia was telling the truth.

But Hannah always felt that it was too risky to give Zongheng to Lydia like this, especially if she accidentally angered Zongheng today, and let him leave his side. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to use Zongheng herself as a shield and said: "Where Nemo sleeps, respect his own opinion." You say it doesn't count! ”

So, Lydia turned her head and asked, "Nemo, make a statement!" ”

Zongheng didn't really have a problem with who to sleep with, but he didn't like it when two women helped him make decisions about this kind of thing. It made him feel like he had lost his freedom, like a stallion or a pig. He said, "Don't bother. I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm going to sleep in my own room. Either the two of you come together, or none of you come. ”

"What?! Don't dream! Hannah and Lydia scolded in unison.

The end result of this night, of course, was to stay alone in the empty bed. Lydia and Hannah both climbed into a man's bed, but they weren't down enough to play Double Fly with the same man. Zongheng is also happy to do the same. Although that kind of thing is indeed very happy, it is not another enjoyment to sleep quietly alone once in a while after singing every night.

The next morning, Hannah walked through the door of Professor Daniel Pearce's office and saw Moretti inside.

"Hey! Good morning! Professor Pierce! Hi! Catherine. Like Hannah, Moretti was once a student of Professor Daniel Pearce, and after being transferred to the FBI's Chicago office as a special agent, she often asked Professor Pearce to help analyze the case, so Hannah knew Moretti. And Catherine is the name of Moretti.

Professor Pierce is a mild-mannered, personable middle-aged man. Probably because he has been single for most of his life, he does not have the problem of losing his head and getting lucky like many middle-aged people, but still maintains the appearance and figure of a young man. His thick hair, handsome appearance, and good taste in clothing, combined with the aura of a pioneering authority in the field of forensic neuropsychiatry and a Davenport Award winner, made him a respected and beloved student in the classroom. But in private, the professor is an eccentric with an autistic personality who does not want to communicate with others. Even a PhD student like Hannah, who studied under him, would find it difficult to see a smiling face from him. It was only when Catherine Ruth Moretti, his proudest student, came to visit that Professor Peirce smiled like he had captivated thousands of women, just as Hannah had seen.

"Professor Pierce's friendship with Moretti is definitely not just a teacher-student friendship." Hannah thought to herself.

Seeing Hannah walk into the office, Professor Pierce immediately said, "Miss Hannah, you've just come at the right time. Kate and I just mentioned you. ”

"Kate" is the nickname of Moretti's name "Catherine". is also a female student, and Professor Peirce's name for the two fully exposes his intimate difference between the two women.

Hannah remembered Lydia's training for her, combined with the relevant theories of behavioral psychology that she had mastered, and pretended to be frank and slightly surprised, and said, "Really? Is there something going on? ”

Moretti had been watching Hannah carefully from the moment she entered the door. But she couldn't see any flaws in Hannah's face, much to her slight disappointment. So, she pulled out a photo from the folder, handed it to Hannah, and said, "Hannah, I was investigating a case recently. You are pictured with her in the photo of one of the parties. Do you know her? ”

"She?" Hannah feigned confusion and repeated the key words in Moretti's words.

She took the photo, only glanced at it, and immediately showed a weak expression.

There's a play! Moretti was overjoyed. She hurriedly asked, "How is it, do you know her?" ”

Hannah pondered for a moment and said, "Yes." This is Abigail Doyle. She and I were high school classmates. ”

"Really?" Moretti actually has this information in his hands, "Don't you have any other contact except for classmates?" ”

"What do you want to know?"

"Abigail Doyle is missing, and we are looking for her. Because we found a photo of the two of you at her house, we learned that you and Abigail used to be classmates. So I thought, since you're both living in Chicago, maybe you're still connected. Perhaps we can get some news about Abigail from you. Moretti said, staring at Hannah, observing the change in her demeanor.

"Missing?" Hannah pretended to be surprised and relaxed, "How come? ”

"That's exactly what we're trying to find out." Moretti told the truth. As she spoke, she had some questions about Hannah's change in demeanor just now. It seems that she did not know the news of Abigail's disappearance. But apparently, Hannah was hiding something.

She decided to push her harder and asked, "Hannah." Have you been in contact with Abigail lately? Or have you ever met her? If so, I hope you will tell me the truth. ”

Hannah hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
