The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 112

"But that means two wedding gifts... Tsk, tsk. You young people really do everything fast. You didn't even have a girlfriend before, and now you're getting married. What a turn of events! Hahaha! Alright, you can go back now. Keep up the good work and try to wrap up this serial rape and murder case quickly so you can get married without any worries!"

"Actually, I—" Nathan started to say, but the chief pushed him out of the office.

"Remember to send me an invitation. The files for that thing Mr. Adams mentioned are here. Go find Dr. Hayes and discuss it with her."

With that, the office door slammed shut.

Nathan stood at the door for a long moment, clutching the thick file, before finally turning and walking away.

Back in the office, he looked at the empty workstation and took out his phone, opening his chat with Nora.

She hadn't replied after he sent her the photo last night.

When he woke up this morning, he saw a message from Nora sent ten minutes earlier.

[I'm off today, so you don't need to make breakfast for me. I left the car key on the shoe cabinet by your door.]

He had asked, [You're not home today? I can bring breakfast over.]

All he got in return was, [Not home.]

Nathan's intuition told him that Nora was most likely in a bad mood.

He didn't dare press further, just grabbing a quick bite for breakfast before heading to the station.

Looking at the file in front of him, Nathan's eyes lit up. He took a picture of the title page and sent it to Nora.

[Are you there? It looks like the show Mr. Adams mentioned is a go. Mr. Adams wants us to come to a decision as soon as possible. Do you have time now? I can come to you.]

Nora replied quickly: [Now? Is it that urgent?]

Nathan pursed his lips. [Yes.]

Nora sent him a location pin.

Instead of making him look edgy, the hair only accentuated his delicate and refined features.

Leonard had said that Nolan, the youngest son of the Devereaux Group, had no interest in business or following in his father's footsteps. His only passion was for crime and mystery stories, and he had even wanted to enter the entertainment industry to make related films in his early years.

But the first time he saw a mannequin corpse, he nearly wet his pants, and his father subsequently banned him from everything except watching *Detective Conan* at home.

Nolan, dissatisfied, caused such a ruckus that Mr. Devereaux had no peace day or night.

When Leonard learned of this, he decided to cater to Nolan's interests by introducing him to his daughter, the forensic pathologist.

If she could get Nolan on her side, Nora would be allowed to see her mother.

Nora took a deep breath and gave Nolan a slight smile. Just as she was about to speak, Nolan clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought brought a dagger and a live chicken into the private suite.

"You're really a forensic pathologist? I don't believe it. Kill this chicken and show me."
