Stella squatted down in front of him. The child was very beautiful. He had big eyes, long blue eyelashes, a round face, and fair skin. He looked like a doll. However, his eyes were red. He looked at Stella with caution and pursed his lips. He didn't move or say anything. Sheldon asked the others to leave the room first. Stella glanced at the window and found that Dianne was still there. She smiled and took out five candies from the boxes. She asked the child, "Here are five candies, apple-flavored, watermelon-flavored, strawberry-flavored, grape-flavored, and lemon-flavored. Which one do you like?" The child stared at Stella and judged that Stella was harmless, so he picked up the grape-flavored candy warily. Stella took the candy in his hand, peeled off the wrapping, and handed the candy to him. The child then put it in his mouth. Stella also took a grape-flavored candy from the box and put it in her mouth. She asked casually, "Do
There was a loud bang. The car heading straight towards Stella was knocked over by a cargo truck. Immediately, four policemen got down and had their guns out, pointing towards the car. "Get off the car!" Sheldon shouted. With his gaze upon the tinted car window, he opened the car door and was astonished to find the orphanage's assistant in the driver's seat. "It's you?" The assistant looked at Sheldon in horror. When she realized that she was caught, her face instantly turned pale. "Bring her over to the police station," Sheldon said. The police officers immediately hauled the assistant into the car. "How did you know that you will be hit with a car?" Sheldon asked Stella. Stella had previously asked Sheldon to prepare a cargo truck and guard by the door while she was having her meal, as she knew someone might run over her with a car. It turned out to be true. "Head over to the orphanage and detain all the adults now. Hurry up, or e
After saying her piece, Stella looked at Edwin and said, "I may have to trouble you to hack into the surveillance systems of shopping malls and playgrounds to find the clown that we are looking for. A clown with lots of toys and roses in his hands, but what's different is that there are hidden cameras in his toys. If you spot one, we could then immediately arrest him." Alissa pursed her lips, shrugged her shoulders, and rolled her eyes. She still did not believe in Stella's deduction. "Okay, I'll get on to it and report to you when I've found the clown," Edwin said with strong determination. Stella gave a small smile, "Thank you for your hard work." She stood up and prepared to leave. "Didn't someone say that she's going to treat us? Are you going back on your words again?" Alissa said in an enigmatic tone. Stella glanced at the time on her watch and replied, "See you all in Barbara Seafood Restaurant at 6 p.m." ...... Stella felt a littl
Stella turned to look at Table 15. It was empty. They were already gone. Stella smiled, "Did he pay the bill with a mobile app or cash?" "With a mobile app," The waiter replied. "Return the money to him through the app. I don't need him to foot my bill," Stella said softly. "Got it," The waiter poured the red wine for them dutifully and stood by the side. "Stella, since you're so rich, why did you even join our team?" Alissa asked in a daze. "I didn't join the team for money," Stella picked up the stem of her wine glass, tipped it elegantly, and took a sip. "What's the reason then?" Alissa asked curiously. Stella shrugged. She did not want to tell her the reason. "I heard that you could know someone through psychology. Could you say what you know about me?" Alissa said, with the corner of her mouth raised, a confident gleam in her eyes. Stella glanced at Alissa and said. "Your parents are divorced. They have both remarried sin
"The whelks that will be served in a bit are also very delicious. They are processed, cleaned, and cut into pieces," Stella introduced. "By the way, did you get any clues from the kid this time?" Ray was still thinking about the case. "I'm deducing that Uncle Joker is the murderer. Everything should come in the clear after we have him arrested," Stella said. "If this case is solved, you'll take the most credit as we basically did nothing," Ray said in disappointment. "You can't say that. We had some luck this time as we happened to get some useful information. There will also be times where we won't get anything. When that time comes, we will need to come together as a team to solve the case," Stella didn't take credit for any success and comforted them instead. "You truly are an open-minded person," Ray said as he raised his glass towards Stella. "Let's work hard together," Stella too raised her glass. It was 9.30 p.m. when they left Barbara S
Stella would wake up at 6 a.m. every day and begin her morning routine of preparing breakfast, cleaning the house, watering the plants, and eating breakfast. She still had some groceries when she went shopping from the day before so she didn't need to buy any. She was arranging the flowers that she had bought when her phone rang. Sheldon's name flashed through the screen. She answered the call. "Stella, we've got answers from the man. It seems that the whole matter was instigated by Alissa. Director Vann would like to know if you have considered the best way to deal with this matter," Sheldon said. Stella smiled wryly. Vann threw the problem over to her because Alissa was still of use to him, yet he didn't want to offend her at the same time. "I think that Alissa has a questionable character, and I know for sure that she is a vengeful person. If I were to offend her, I might bring trouble upon myself. This matter could be used as leverage against her, so l
Stella was still decorating Lawrence's room when Carol came back. She went ahead to prepare some food for Lawrence. Stella spent more than half an hour decorating the room. "Doctor Grace, thank you so much for coming. Please give me a moment. Lunch should be done soon. Please join us before you leave," Carol said happily, seeing that Lawrence was finally eating. "Thank you for the offer but I have to take a raincheck. I have an appointment in the afternoon. Have a good rest after your meal. Lawrence, see you next week," Stella said with a smile. "See you," Lawrence said politely. Stella nodded and left. She drove to the research center, found a nearby coffee shop, ordered a steak, a latte, and a chocolate cake. She read an article before that said that having sweet food would improve one's mood, and listening to beautiful music could relax the mind, but eating a good meal could satisfy all the above. She cut the steak with an elegant grace and
Stella was cutting her steak and she did not seem to notice the strange expression on Black's face. She explained enthusiastically, "It could be someone who is no longer able to take care of himself, lost his mind, and needs his family to help him on making life decisions. Or it could be somebody who wants to let go of everything completely and start a new life. Although hypnosis could seal one's memories, it still depends on the patient's will and effort in order to pull it through." A hint of sadness passed through Black's eyes. He lowered his eyes and started cutting on his steak. Stella sensed that he had something on his mind, but he didn't seem like someone who liked to share, so she never pressed on. As a matter of fact, being a doctor, she heard her fair share of other people's worries and troubles. She continued working on her steak. Neither of them spoke until Stella finished her meal. She had a big appetite nowadays. When she visited a general p
