Chapter 19

Zhan Zheng suddenly remembered another phone call.

During the meal break, Yan Pei was still watching Huo Lening in class, so he went out to make a call.

The subject of the call is Jelov.

After Yan Pei finished saying "Sister-in-law's popularity doesn't seem very good".

Jelov is his subordinate, and the two have kept in touch.

Hearing what he wanted to ask, the other party was very surprised, but told him honestly everything he knew.

His description of Huo Lening is "hard to say."

"You said he was not good, he is a cute boy, polite, and soft-spoken." He said, "Some teachers in our office have headaches because of his grades, but if they really hate him, they really don't.It’s all about being soft-spoken.”

Zhan Zheng waited for his "but".

Sure enough, Jelov didn't finish his sentence.

"But." Jelov said, "If you want to say how close he is to anyone, he doesn't have one."

He thought for a while, "As far as I know, there are many people who don't like him, and there are actually many people who want to make friends with him, but this kid... seems to be a little bit repulsed by others."

At that time, Zhan Zheng just laughed it off when he heard what he said, thinking in his heart that Huo Lening was excluded at school, and those who excluded him deliberately made up the rhetoric.

Only later, saw Huo Lening talking to Anton again.

He sort of understood what Jelov meant.

It was indeed a subtle feeling that was hard to describe.

Huo Lening may not feel that he treats others with the same sincerity, but those who are treated with such solemnity by him will believe without hesitation that he will treat others with the same attitude.

Apart from……

one person.

The first time they met, Huo Lening gave Zhan Zheng a bouquet of flowers.

Zhan Zheng didn't tell Huo Lening that the reason why he still had an impression of the other party was because the other party looked at him that day with sparkling eyes, like stars.

He hadn't seen such pure eyes for a long time.

Second meeting...

Zhan Zheng has a headache.

He is willing to treat Huo Lening as his younger brother.

But that was based on the fact that he didn't like Huo Lening, and Huo Lening didn't like him either.

If the premise of the latter does not exist, then many of the things he said during that day's susceptibility period will not seem so appropriate.

Huo Lening didn't speak yet.

He looked a little panicked, as if he had discovered some terrible secret.

Zhan Zheng said, "Don't be nervous."

Huo Lening said immediately: "I'm not nervous."

The voice is soft.

Sounds like he's nervous as hell.

Zhan Zheng thought about his words: "...it's okay."

Huo Lening looked at him without blinking, like a doll in a window.

However, the ears are still red.

He looked at Zhan Zheng: "You secretly looked at me again."

... What is peeking.

Zhan Zheng thought.

"I told you this morning." Zhan Zheng didn't change his face, "I'm your supervisor."

It is to look at it above board.

Huo Lening stopped talking.

He also knew that the other party was looking at him aboveboard.

It was he himself who forgot, exposing the fact that he had been investigating Zhan Zheng.

What would Zhan Zheng think?

Do you feel that he is deliberately approaching him?

Will he discover his secret?

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and he blurted out: "Are you going to send me to the torture chamber?"

Zhan Zheng, who was waiting for his next sentence:?

He was silent for a moment.

"I'm in your eyes." He said slowly, "Are you such a violent person?"

Huo Lening thought about it, and was honest: "No."

"But they all said that." Huo Lening whispered, "You said that before."

Send him to the torture chamber, like Will.

Zhan Zheng: "..."

I was a little too scared before, but the child actually remembered it until now.

He rubbed his temples and found it difficult to communicate with Huo Lening: "No matter what happens to me, it's impossible..."

Send a guy who just likes him to jail.

What kind of image does he have in Huo Lening's heart?

He couldn't say that.

Because his communication rang, it was Yan Pei.

When the hover car arrived at the door, he gestured to Huo Lening and went out to answer the phone.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

At the same time, he glanced at Huo Lening who was brought in by Xiao Ming.

She was led obediently, but the base of her ears was still a little red.

"It's more complicated." Yan Pei said, "Ning... Is sister-in-law by your side?"

This is confidential.

Although he knew that Zhan Zheng could never be a lovestruck, Yan Pei still confirmed it.

Zhan Zheng looked away: "Not here."

There was the sound of breathing.

After a while, Zhan Zheng heard Yan Pei's serious voice: "Annette committed suicide."

Zhan Zheng was taken aback.

Huo Lening sat on the sofa, watching Zhan Zheng on the phone through a glass.

Alpha's profile looks handsome and composed.

It's not like the kind of devil who casually punishes people.

Things were probably a little tricky, he had been listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone, Huo Lening was absent-mindedly eating the cheesecake that Xiao Ming baked for him, feeling very depressed.

Xiao Ming looked at him expectantly.

"It's delicious." Huo Lening still praised him.

Then, he said, "Maybe this is the last time I will eat your cake."

He thought, he is still a person who can't do anything well.

His master assigned him a task, but he still couldn't complete it.

……perhaps.

he thinks.

Would Zhan Zheng want an extra robot at home?

Just when he was struggling, Zhan Zheng walked in: "I have something to do, I have to go out for a while, you should eat first."

Huo Lening stood up.

Zhan Zheng was stunned.

Immediately, he softened his voice: "It's dangerous, you can't follow."

Huo Lening sat back a little helplessly.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back." He said.

This look is a bit pitiful, Zhan Zheng has other things in his mind at the moment, and the movements of his hands still pause for a second.

Then he said, "Okay."

"I don't know when I'll be back." He added.

Huo Lening nodded, not paying attention.

Anyway, no matter when Zhan Zheng comes back, he will have to wait.

Zhan Zheng reached out to rub his hair.

But after thinking of something, in the end, he took it back.

In Huo Lening's eyes, this action was really repelling him, and he was even more frustrated.

Seeing Zhan Zheng go out, he finished dinner alone, then sat on the sofa, watching TV while waiting for Zhan Zheng.

However, Zhan Zheng didn't come back until he finished watching the TV.

Huo Lening was still able to persist at first.

Gradually, he closed his eyes in a daze.

Zhan Zheng arrived at the agreed place.

Yan Pei knocked on the car door, and got on his suspension car with ease.

After getting in the car, the two drove to the place where the accident happened.

It's Annette's home.

The police handling the case had known for a long time that this case was special, so they notified Yan Pei as soon as something happened, and sealed off the scene.

When Yan Pei and Zhan Zheng arrived, there were still a few people who stayed in place to collect evidence and take photos.

The girl's body has been taken away, leaving only a bathtub of blood stained.

Her mother was crying so hard that she almost fainted, and was being supported to sit aside.

Yan Pei greeted the policeman handling the case, and then asked about the situation in a low voice.

Zhan Zheng looked around, paused somewhere, and frowned thoughtfully.

After a while, Yan Pei came over.

The two returned to the suspension car, and Yan Pei said, "I probably know the initial reason."

He sighed: "... Annette has traces of violent sexual assault."

Zhan Zheng's hand paused: "Is it suicide?"

Yan Pei nodded: "Should."

This kind of thing is common and not common, and it happens from time to time.

Yan Pei didn't know what mood to be in, and after a while, he sighed softly again.

Then he said: "Brother, you go back."

Originally, he thought that Annette's death was related to what Zhan Zheng wanted to investigate, so he called Zhan Zheng, but now it seems that it should not be.

Zhan Zheng didn't move.

After a while, he asked, "Has the autopsy report come out?"

Yan Pei said: "Not yet."

"Is there a problem brother?" he asked.

Zhan Zheng paused: "It's a bit strange."

Yan Pei: "Huh?"

"There are leftovers on the table that have been freshly preserved, which shows that Annette's mood is still stable, at least she can eat." Zhan Zheng said, "Just now, the lady kept saying, 'I'll be fine when I come back'.”

He paused, "Then, did he commit suicide?"

Yan Pei was startled.

After a while, he thought about it: "Maybe it's hiding from her mother."

"After all, if she looks broken, her mother will probably be there for her."

This is also what happens from time to time.

Zhan Zheng nodded: "There is also this possibility."

"It's just my guess." He said, "Has the autopsy report come out?"

Yan Pei shook his head: "Not yet."

Zhan Zheng thought for a moment, then bowed his head.

After a while, Yan Pei's terminal rang.

"Call this number." Zhan Zheng said, "If it's convenient, she can help with the autopsy."

Yan Pei was stunned.

This is because Zhan Zheng really felt that there was a problem, and he wanted to use his direct line.

If someone helps, Yan Pei is naturally very happy.

However, after the phone call, he urged Zhan Zheng to go back.

"The autopsy will take some time." He said, "Brother, go back and rest first."

Zhan Zheng thought it was nothing at first, but paused when he thought of something.

After a while, he nodded and got into the car.

It was almost twelve o'clock when got home, and Zhan Zheng still had the case in his mind——

Although he finally chose to go home because of Huo Lening's phrase "waiting for you to come back", but he didn't feel that Huo Lening would really wait for him.

Omega goes to bed early.

According to Zhan Zheng's observation, he seems to have a timetable for precise execution.

The kind that is accurate to the point.

While frowning and thinking, he pushed open the door.

Then, there was a soft halo rushing towards the face.

Zhan Zheng was startled.

Then, he saw Omega who was asleep on the sofa.

Huo Lening apparently fell asleep unconsciously.

Because his whole sleeping posture looked a little bit crooked like it is now.

His head was resting on the back of the sofa, his face was slightly drooping, and his cheeks were slightly puffed out from sleep, and his long eyelashes were curled up quietly, like the wings of a perched butterfly.

He was covered with a small blanket.

Colorful and colorful, it looks like it was built by the robot Xiao Ming.

He has a hobby of dressing up in his program.

It's a pity that the aesthetics are not good enough, so can only play secretly while Zhan Zheng is away.

Zhan Zheng smiled.

He sighed slightly, then bent down, and hugged Omega horizontally.

In the next second, Omega rubbed against his arms affectionately.

Zhan Zheng's arm froze suddenly and stopped in place.
