chapter 29 The policewoman came to the door

"Uh, I'm just looking, is that not allowed?" Tyler Luo wanted to speak more, but he had already been pushed out by Elizabeth Zhuang, so he had no choice but to go back to his room. As he lay on the bed, Tyler Luo stared at the ceiling, lost in thought for several minutes, before chuckling to himself, "I never really thought I'd have this feeling of home." It seems that choosing to return to Fenghuang City for this mission was a very clear decision. However, his gaze, which had been fixed on the ceiling, suddenly changed. The white ceiling seemed to disappear, and Tyler Luo even saw several people walking behind it. Startled, he quickly rolled off the bed, rubbing his eyes in disbelief before looking at the ceiling again. But this time, he saw nothing, except a slight sting in his eyes. "What the heck is going on?" Tyler Luo was sure that what he saw was not an illusion. Those people moving behind the ceiling were from a family living in the apartment above, whom he had seen once. But how could he explain what just happened? Without any hesitation, Tyler Luo got out of bed and ran upstairs, pressing the doorbell. Soon, the door opened, revealing the same old man he had just seen. "Uh, sorry, wrong place," Tyler Luo said with an awkward smile, glancing inside. Sure enough, there was another old man with white hair inside, just like he had seen before! This made Tyler Luo uneasy, and he returned downstairs in a daze. "What are you doing? You ran so fast just now!" Elizabeth Zhuang, who came out of the kitchen, looked at Tyler Luo strangely. But Tyler Luo's look at her was even stranger. Not strange, but shocked? Frightened? Surprised? Anyway, his gaze at Elizabeth Zhuang was very peculiar, with heat, excitement, and doubt. "Are you wearing black lingerie with a rose pattern today?" Tyler Luo suddenly asked, almost enraging Elizabeth Zhuang. "Get lost! Pervert!" She glared at Tyler Luo fiercely, but also noticed his unusual behavior. But Tyler Luo's expression didn't seem to be lecherous, and he looked at her seriously, "Just answer me, will you?" Elizabeth Zhuang was about to curse, but paused as she looked into Tyler Luo's eyes. Although it was strange that he suddenly asked such a vulgar question, his expression and eyes didn't show any malice, which calmed her anger. But it was still difficult for her to answer such a question. However, Tyler Luo looked at her anxiously, his eyes filled with hope but devoid of any lewdness. "Can you just answer?" Tyler Luo asked again when she didn't respond. Elizabeth Zhuang instinctively stepped back, but Tyler Luo's gaze didn't evoke disgust in her, and she finally nodded with a blush,"How did you know?" "Really?" Tyler Luo's expression was like he had won a billion-dollar jackpot, extremely excited as he rushed to Elizabeth Zhuang, lifting her in his arms and even spinning her around a few times. "Ah! What are you doing, put me down!" Elizabeth Zhuang was startled by his actions, and her fists fell on him. However, Tyler Luo seemed to be weak and after putting down Elizabeth Zhuang, he fell backward. If it weren't for the sofa behind him, he would have fallen hard. Elizabeth Zhuang was about to speak, but then saw Tyler Luo's face turn pale, even his lips were white,"What's wrong with you?" "My head hurts, it hurts," Tyler Luo felt a sharp pain in his head and quickly closed his eyes. But his heart was still pounding. "Do you need me to take you to the hospital? What's wrong with you, you're so jumpy," Elizabeth Zhuang was genuinely scared by Tyler Luo's pale face. "It's nothing, just a bit weak," Tyler Luo finally opened his eyes after a while, shaking his head, "I'll be fine after sitting for a while." Elizabeth Zhuang wanted to say something, but Tyler Luo gestured with his hand,"Aren't you going to check the steak? It's burnt!" "Ah!" Elizabeth Zhuang exclaimed and quickly turned to the kitchen. She stopped after a step and looked back at Tyler Luo, confirming he was alright before entering the kitchen. Tyler Luo, rubbing his temples, had a look of shock and excitement on his face, "Why is this happening? How do I have X-ray vision? Ah!" He gasped in pain at the end. Yes, when he focused on Elizabeth Zhuang, he could see through her clothes and even the lingerie underneath, which scared Tyler Luo. But he was sure it was not a dream or an illusion. But why did this suddenly happen? Our eyes see because light reflects off objects, creating the colorful world we see. The light enters the retina at the back of our eyeballs, where countless photoreceptor cells convert the light into neural signals, which are then transmitted to the brain's visual cortex. But how to explain this X-ray vision? Tyler Luo couldn't figure it out. His headache was intense, indicating the burden of the two X-ray visions was substantial. After resting for a few minutes, his headache eased, and he focused on the coffee table. Instantly, he could see everything in the drawer beneath it. "Ah!" The pain struck again, turning Tyler Luo's face paler, but his excitement was undiminished. Enduring the discomfort, he walked to the coffee table and opened the drawer. Indeed, inside were two packets of tea and several cups, just as he had seen. He rubbed his temples, finding the situation too sudden and bizarre to comprehend. "That jade pendant!" Tyler Luo suddenly remembered. If there was any connection to be made, it was the jade pendant that had broken and vanished after touching his blood. Could there be a relationship between the two? Unfortunately, he couldn't find the person who gave him the pendant, and Tyler Luo was clueless. "Are you okay?" Elizabeth Zhuang came out of the kitchen, still worried. But Tyler Luo smiled, "I'm fine now, right? I just felt a bit dizzy earlier, probably because I hadn't eaten much and my blood sugar was low. I'll be fine after eating." "That's good," Elizabeth Zhuang said, noticing his forced smile and pale face, but since Tyler Luo insisted he was fine, she didn't press further. She brought out the food she cooked, and Tyler Luo's appetite seemed to return. "I usually cook something when I'm free and home early. But it's too much for one person. Xiaomin isn't often at home. But now you're here," Elizabeth Zhuang smiled, feeling unusually at ease with a man for the first time. "This must be the result of breaking thousands of wooden fish in my last life," Tyler Luo said, eyeing the steak hungrily. His headache had subsided, but he suddenly felt extremely hungry. Then he surprised Elizabeth Zhuang by eating voraciously, almost frighteningly so. "Eat, don't just watch me," Tyler Luo said, still eating, but busy serving himself. He didn't know why, but he was just very hungry. Tyler Luo ended up eating most of the meal, feeling satisfied and touching his belly. "Your cooking is really good. Teach me sometime," he said, sprawled on the sofa, emitting contented sounds. Elizabeth Zhuang glared at him, about to speak, when suddenly the doorbell rang. She froze, wondering who it could be at this hour. She stood up and went to the door, peering through the peephole to see a woman in a police uniform, startling her. She whispered to Tyler Luo, "It's a policewoman." "Oh?" Tyler Luo perked up at the mention of a policewoman, but his face remained expressionless, "Why don't you open the door?" Elizabeth Zhuang realized she had done nothing illegal or immoral, so why be afraid? With this thought, she felt relieved and opened the door. Outside, the policewoman immediately showed her badge,"Hello, is this Elizabeth Zhuang? I'm Captain Xia of the Fenghuang City Police Department, Abigail Ning." "Oh, I am," Elizabeth Zhuang saw the badge and quickly opened the security door, "Is there something I can help you with, Captain Ning?" Abigail Ning's gaze moved past Elizabeth Zhuang to the man slumped on the living room sofa, "Are you Tyler Luo?" "Hi, Captain Ning, didn't expect to see you again," Tyler Luo approached her. "You know each other?" Elizabeth Zhuang was surprised. Tyler Luo explained, "Yeah, we met on a bus when there was a thug. Thankfully, Captain Ning was there." Abigail Ning didn't elaborate but said to Tyler Luo, "We need your assistance with a criminal case. Please come with me." "What? A criminal case?" Elizabeth Zhuang was startled. Tyler Luo was unfazed, "What kind of case?" "It involves some secrets that can't be disclosed here," Abigail Ning's eyes stayed on Tyler Luo, searching for something in his expression, but was disappointed as his exaggerated expression seemed genuine. "Captain Ning, you're not going to wrongly accuse me again, are you?"
