Chapter 44
After struggling for a quarter of an hour, Gu Chu still couldn't resist the temptation in his heart, went into the study room, and carefully took out the documents from the envelope.

It really was Xiao Xue's case.

It is a document that has been approved, and the attachment is Lu Beichen's report on the progress of the case, in English.

Gu Chu heard her heart beating wildly, and her eardrums also heard noises. She saw Lu Beichen pointing out the discovery on Xiao Xue's body in the report, and there was a preliminary suspicion of the cause of death... Poisoned to death?Who on earth hates Xiao Xue so much?
Flipping through page by page, there is also a specific report of the autopsy in the attachment, which is also full of professional English symbols.Gu Chu really thanked God for not returning what he had learned to the teacher, otherwise he would definitely not be able to understand this document.Thinking about why the girl was so relieved to hand over such an important document to her, I dared to think that she didn't take it seriously because she couldn't understand the technical terms.

After reading more than a dozen pages, Gu Chu's heart was heavy. She felt Xiao Xue's death so close, and the photocopies of the photos attached to the document were shocking.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang.

Gu Chu was startled, and his hands shook. He thought it was his mobile phone, but it didn't sound right. Then he heard the voice of a man answering the mobile phone, "Speak."

Gu Chu's scalp went numb, he raised his eyes and happened to catch a glimpse of the tall figure at the door of the study, he was turning around and leaving to answer the phone.

what's the situation?
In other words, Lu Beichen has just come back, standing at the door of the study room without anyone noticing, staring at her peeking at the documents?How long have you been standing? 1 minute or 10 minutes?When Gu Chu thought of this, his heels gave way and he almost fell to the ground. Did he make no sound when he walked?How did it appear like a ghost?

The key problem is that he also knows that she is peeking at his things!
How to do?
Gu Chu really wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, it was too embarrassing.

Stretching out his ears, he could hear him still talking on the phone, Gu Chu really wanted to escape.Put the file back in its original place, then tiptoed out of the study.The study room is connected to the living room, and the living room is connected to the entrance. If you want to leave, you have to pass by the living room, and Lu Beichen stands by the window of the living room and makes a phone call.

The window was open, and there was still wind coming in, and his deep and mellow voice followed the wind into her ears.

"Yes, a poison test must be done... Well, the family of the deceased has no objection, no matter how much it costs, this test is still done."

He was talking about Xiao Xue's case.

Should Gu Chu celebrate that he can finally understand what Lu Beichen is saying?But this kind of understanding is shameful. She is like a thief, and she is still a thief who has been caught and revealed.

Stretching out her head to check, Lu Beichen's back was facing her, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she met again under such circumstances, she would even die.While he was on the phone, Gu Chu ran away against the corner of the wall, taking every step cautiously, for fear of making any noise.When I walked to the door, I realized that my bag was still on the sofa. I complained secretly, turned back, and started the "difficult journey".

As he got closer to Lu Beichen, the pressure became more and more intense.

Gu Chu stared at the back of his head, afraid that he would turn his head back in the next second, so he asked all kinds of gods to bless him in his heart, and asked for nothing but to be able to walk out of this room quietly.She shrunk to the sofa, her fingers approaching the satchel bit by bit.I finally reached the strap, held it in my hand, and slowly pulled it back.

Lu Beichen was still on the phone, and it seemed that things were very difficult.

At this time, Gu Chu hoped that his call could be longer, longer, so that she could escape like an ostrich.With the bag in her hand, she turned around holding the bag and walked towards the door step by step on tiptoe.I was about to leave the living room, and the next step was the porch. As soon as I raised my legs, I heard Lu Beichen say from a distance, "Well, yes, that's it."

Gu Chu was shocked...

Over there, Lu Beichen ended the call.

Here, Gu Chu's feet seemed to be frozen, and they didn't fall down for a long time. After a few seconds, he turned his head subconsciously.

Lu Beichen turned around a long time ago and was looking at her by the window, oh no, to be exact, he was watching her clumsy performance with great interest.He was not in a hurry, he was leisurely and composed, and he seemed to have timed the monkey show very precisely.Gu Chu heard a "buzz" in his head, and there were only two words in his mind: It's over...

"Where are you singing?" He asked, with a half-smile.

Gu Chu's feet were also sore, and she finally had the nerve reaction to landing. She suddenly felt that she was like a cat at that moment, and the reflex arc was too long.

Now that he was discovered, he could only face it.

"That... the room has been cleaned up. If you have no other orders, I want to leave."

Lu Beichen walked to the sofa and sat down, leaning lazily, with his slender right leg gracefully stacked on top of his left, and asked, "You don't have to work in the hotel today?"

"I rest today."

"What about tomorrow?"

"I only work at the hotel on Wednesdays and Fridays, and only on night shifts." Gu Chu thought it would be better to make it clear at once, so as to save him from tossing himself all the time.

Lu Beichen stopped talking, he was silent, but he was staring at her silently, with thoughtful eyes, but in Gu Chu's view, this was definitely not a good thing.What she thought was that this person must come to investigate her behavior of peeking at the documents, and now she is calm, just studying how to sneer.Taking advantage of this gap, she said, "Well... I can go now."

"It's popular in your hotel to serve guests in casual clothes?" He said lazily.

Gu Chu was clear in his heart, seeing his posture, he did not intend to let her go.Answer calmly, "I have explained just now that today is not my working day."

Lu Beichen's lips were slightly raised, and he was smiling, although shallow, but shining brightly.He got up and walked over. Gu Chu suddenly thought of yesterday's scene and became nervous.However, he didn't do what he did yesterday, he just passed by her intending to enter the bedroom.

But when passing by her, Lu Beichen deliberately whispered in her ear, "I like the way you wear professional skirts, it's very sexy."

Gu Chu felt his ears itch, but was more shocked by his seemingly frivolous words.Her eyes trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at him, only to see his back.She froze in place and her breathing became short of breath. This kind of Lu Beichen would make her mistake Beishen, because Beishen also likes to tease her by saying such things that make people blush and heartbeat.

Lu Beichen seemed to be checking how she was tidying up the room, and was very satisfied.At the end, he said, "The reason why I need someone to be responsible is because of my profession. I hate being prying into my privacy by strangers. Also, there may be documents that need to be kept secret in the room."

These words seemed to be an explanation, but Gu Chu felt more like a reminder.

"The cleaning aunts of the hotel have also undergone on-the-job training, and they will not reveal the privacy of the guests." She followed him to justify the names of the hotel staff, and entered the bathroom together, "And, Professor Lu can guarantee that I will not be in Tell outsiders what you saw in the room?"

Lu Beichen looked at the underwear hanging on the clothes rack, and then at her, smiling ambiguously, "I absolutely believe in Miss Gu's professional ethics."

It made Gu Chu blush again.

Everything seemed to satisfy Lu Beichen, he sat back on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and the smoke escaped from the corners of his thin lips, lightly, like mist.Gu Chu was secretly anxious, as long as he didn't speak, she would definitely not be able to leave.

"Any ideas?"

Gu Chu was a little puzzled by Lu Beichen's abrupt question, and he was stunned for a while before saying "ah?"

"You have also read the report on Xiao Xue's death." Lu Beichen seemed to be smoking leisurely, and looked at her and emphasized, "Just now."

Gu Chu felt that her breath was a little short. She thought he would not mention this matter again, so she stammered and explained: "That... I just collected it for you, and it was sent by a girl."

Having said that, she paused, observing his expression secretly.

However, Lu Beichen's complexion was calm, and she couldn't know how close he was to that girl.Pursing her lower lip, she added, "It's a girl who calls you Vic Lu."

Lu Beichen still failed to do what she wanted, but adjusted his sitting posture, and said lightly, "So I should express some opinions, and I believe that Miss Gu's English skills are not bad."

He kept silent about the girl, but got straight to the point, and he kept making her back again and again around this point.

This feeling was terrible for Gu Chu. He felt that he had suddenly become a villain in a bottle, and he thought he was doing everything very smartly. He watched her behavior carefully, but she didn't notice it at all. "...I don't have any opinion." After finishing speaking, he added a sentence of self-defense, "Actually, I didn't read much."

Then, wanting to bite off his own tongue, this is completely self-inflicted rhythm.

Lu Beichen seemed to be amused by her answer, but he never laughed heartily like last time. To be honest, she was quite looking forward to seeing him laugh. If so, it would at least indirectly prove that her actions were not shameful enough.But Lu Beichen just couldn't do what she wanted, the smile only spread a little bit on his lips, and it was fleeting.

"Tell me."

When Gu Chu saw that he was determined, he also understood that he was against him.The little stubborn temper hidden in his bones came up, thought for a while, and said, "There is a wrong judgment in the document."

Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning for her to continue.

"As for the analysis report on the damage of Xiao Xue's gastric mucosa, I think she had experienced gastric bleeding before her death." Gu Chu calmed down.

A faint light flashed in Lu Beichen's eyes, and soon he fell into deep thought.

"So, I saw the report analysis in the file that Xiao Xue showed signs of not eating. You suspect that she might not be able to eat during her lifetime, but if she has severe gastric bleeding, then the patient must fast. So it is also possible that she voluntarily fasted for several days."

Lu Beichen was thoughtful.

"Of course, these are all my immature ideas. I think Professor Lu, you are so smart, you may have ruled out this possibility." Seeing that he seemed to be thinking, Gu Chu felt a little joy in his heart. He also said such a mouth on purpose, as a bad breath.

However, she immediately realized that she was wrong.

She saw that the only soft curve on the corners of Lu Beichen's lips had disappeared, and her heart started beating. Did she challenge his authority?After brushing his face, he might not make it easy for her.Just as he was about to open his mouth to make sense of the matter, he saw Lu Beichen put out half a cigarette in the ashtray, got up and walked towards the study, and threw out another order that broke Gu Chu's heart, "Come in."

Gu Chu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his scalp was tense, and there was no way to retreat, so he could only obediently follow behind him.

Lu Beichen took the envelope, took out the document, opened it carefully, and turned on the computer.Seeing that he was about to work, Gu Chu dared to ask, "What do you need me to do?" The question was a bit unassuming.
