Chapter 372 - Guess

When Noah got home, Christy was working out on the treadmill. She saw Noah and pressed the pause button. Then she jumped off the treadmill and asked while panting, "How is it?"

Noah handed her the bug and headphone. "Listen to it yourself."

"Alright."

Christy took them over and sat down on a chair. But then she looked back at Noah and asked, "Why are you so upset?"

Noah froze as he pushed the suitcase. "No."

Christy looked at him doubtfully. "You two ... had sex last night?"

Noah didn't know what to say.

"Really?" Seeing his expression, Christy stood up and looked all serious. "He only wanted to be the top?"

Noah took the towel on the table and threw it on Christy's face. "Go to work! I'm going to take a shower."

"Oh, alright."

A moment later.

Christy opened the curtain, revealing a wall full of people's photos. She had heard Nikhil on the headphone. So, she printed out his picture, stuck it to the wall and wrote his name under it. By the way, Noah took that picture.

After Noah finished bathing, he told Christy what had happened in the Forest Park. He mentioned Branden and Nikhil, but didn't say much about them. After all, Noah didn't find anything useful.

After hearing that, Christy became suspicious of the woman called Emma. "Is she that strong? She looked ordinary last time I saw her. I couldn't tell that she was good at fighting."

Christy wrote down "Kid" on the paper and circled it with a red pen, "And she had a child. This is her best cover. If she wanted to do something, she could easily make it. So, is it possible that the three man were also..."

Noah poured a glass of water and drank some before saying, "No. She didn't have to take such a big risk and kill them. Why would she do that? What did she want to do?"

"But how could a woman beat three men alone ... that ruthlessly? You said that she crushed their throats? How strong would she be?"

"She should have been trained. But I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what we're investigating. And she doesn't look that much trained. She's more like a hermit."

Christy thought for a while. "I don't know. Let me investigate her. Emma? What's her family name?"

"I don't know." Noah put down the cup, thought for a moment and suggested. "You could ask Emily. She knows Emma and might know something."

"Alright." Christy texted Emily and then turned to look at Noah as if she suddenly remembered something. "So, what happened last night?"

Noah was speechless.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Christy raised her eyebrows and smiled. "It seems like something did happen last night."

She laughed and ran to open the door. Before Ferne could say anything outside, she pulled him in and tried to sit him down on the chair.

But Ferne shouted, "No, I..." He wanted to say that his butt hurt, but he felt a little embarrassed. He could only say vaguely, "I can't sit in a chair. I'll just stand."

However, the next second, Christy turned to look at him meaningfully.

...

Ferne looked back at Christy and felt awkward. Then he turned to look at Noah.

"Why are you looking at him?" Christy asked meaningfully, "Am I ugly? Why don't you look at me?"

Ferne could only reply, "Come on. I'm here for something."

"Well, then tell us. I'll listen."

...

Ferne stood back. "So, can you take your hand back?"

Christy did. "Go ahead."

Meanwhile, Noah took a cushion and threw it on the chair. Christy saw it, but she tried hard not to tease him.

"I've found the connections of the three men in the Forest Park yesterday, and some information about the car." Ferne opened the sealed bag in his hand. He took out three photographs and their information. "I first asked them to investigate their relationship with the GY Temple. However, they only had surveillance on the front door and the back door. And we didn't see the three men entering the temple in the video. But it did not rule out that they had secretly entered from somewhere without the surveillance."

"So, you didn't find anything useful?" Noah asked with a frown.

"No, I found one." Ferne was tired of standing. He slowly sat on the cushion, turned his phone on and enlarged the picture. "See, one of the three men had met with Nikhil. Nikhil is Leon's brother, who happens to be the abbot of the GY Temple. So, there is a connection between them. Got to take some time to find it."

Christy wrote down some names on the paper: Branden, Nikhil, Leon, Merinda, the group leader Pockmark, and the organizer.

Then she wrote something they knew about these people under their names.

"Classify them as you like. What part do you think Branden plays in it? The head of the group? Or the customer?"

Ferne thought for a moment. "Customer. He doesn't seem to be the head. He doesn't lack money."

"Alright, customer." Christy wrote it under Branden's name. Then she pointed at Nikhil's name. "What about him?"

Noah took the pen and circled the other five names together. "They are all organizers."

"Why are you so sure?" Christy asked.

"Because…" Noah underlined Branden's name. "He is the head."

Christy went to cook in the kitchen.

Noah was looking up information about Nikhil in front of the computer. Ferne sat beside Noah and looked at him from time to time. Then, Ferne pretended that he was not that curious and asked, "How did you know that Branden is the head?"

"I guess."

...

Noah looked away from the computer screen. "He builds a primary school, which helps him get the chance to do so. But he would be screwed up if he was exposed. So, he found help."

"Also a guess?" Ferne asked.

"Yes."

Noah leaned back in his chair and shook out a cigarette from his cigarette case. "I've been wondering who got so much power in the hospital. He even managed to fake so many children's checkups. Now I think that only the director of the hospital could make it."

Noah picked up the lighter and lit his cigarette. He looked up at Ferne, "Then who can buy off the director of the City Hospital?"

"Branden!" Ferne was delighted. But then his face changed again.

"What's wrong?" Noah smoked and asked.

Ferne stared at him, "I remember that the director of the City Hospital..."

"Huh?"

"He seems to be a Potter!"

The truth finally came out in the wash when spring came.

Ferne was so excited that he hugged Noah.

Noah was smoking. He was worried that the cigarette would burn Ferne. So, he threw it away quickly. And that made Noah stretch out his arms and look like he was hugging Ferne.

Christy came out of the kitchen and asked, "What do you want to eat...?"

Then she saw Noah and Ferne hugging. She immediately took out her phone and took a picture of them.

"Looks like you two did have sex last night."

Noah was lost for words.

So was Ferne.
