Noah had seen such situations for many times. He didn't sigh too much. It was not that he was numb, but that as a policeman, he had to fulfil his duties.
The murderer will be punished according to law.
Noah turned his head to look at the side face of Nina. He was a little stunned and said in a hoarse voice, "You looks like one of my aunts."
"What?" Nina turned her head and happened to meet Noah's gentle eyes. She touched her face and asked in confusion, "Do I look like your aunt?"
It was the first time that she had heard someone say she looked like someone else.
"Just a little." Noah took out an orange flavored lollipop from his pocket again and handed it to her.
Nina took it over. As she unwrapped the candy, she said honestly, "Your aunt should be very beautiful."
She thought she was very beautiful and many people said so.
Noah chuckled. Noah thought Nina was a good talker.
She praised his aunt and herself at the same time.
Nina put the lollipop in her mouth. Her mouth was full of the sweet and sour orange taste, as if it could refresh her mind. She smiled with satisfaction.
"Life should be a little more sweet, not too much, just like a lollipop."
Noah suddenly found that she was actually a very beautiful girl. Her eyes were full of expectation for beautiful things. She was pure, wise and nifty.
"Without your help, the case wouldn't have been solved so soon. I will report it to the leader and apply for a reward for you."
"No, I just want more lollipops. Not only orange flavored lollipops, but also other flavors. I have never tasted them." Nina liked lollipops. In fact, she could buy them herself, but she always felt that the lollipops she bought were not as delicious as those given by others.
She didn't have to pay for it. That was the key.
"Well, I'll give you next time. However, I will still report my application to the leader. These are two different things." Noah was a man of integrity.
Seeing that Nina was enjoying the lollipop, Noah also smiled. It turned out that girls really liked lollipops.
He liked to eat lollipops when he was a child, but his family told him that lollipops were all for girls, and he had never eaten them since then.
After quitting smoking a month ago, he always felt that there was something wrong with his mouth, so he bought some lollipops and put a lollipop in his mouth when he wanted to smoke.
At first, some of his colleagues teased him that lollipops were for little girls, not for men.
He was not a child anymore. He had his own thoughts. He ignored the teasing and continued eating the lollipops.
He had thought that he could only eat these lollipops by himself, but he didn't expect to meet a girl who had never eaten a lollipop. She was so pitiful.
Noah looked at his watch. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He asked, "Are you available? I want to invite you to dinner to express my thanks to you. If it weren't for you, we might need a few more days to solve the case."
"That's what I should do, and it's not dinner time yet." Nina had always been a person who would forget to eat and sleep once she worked hard. She didn't know that four or five hours had passed and thought it was just a short time after noon.
Noah squinted his eyes and wanted to laugh, but he held it back. It seemed that she was sometimes wise and sometimes confused.
"It's ten past five now." Noah pointed at Nina's watch, indicating her to look at her own watch.
"How is that possible?" Nina still didn't believe it. She looked at her watch. "Five eleven?"
"Five o'clock!" Nina's voice suddenly rose. She was astonished and trembled.
It was five o'clock.
She had planned to divorce at two o'clock this afternoon and regain her freedom.
What should she do now?
