A Deathless Murder Chapter 28

Song Guiyi arranged to meet Huo Dong online, choosing a Monday afternoon when Huo Dong had no classes, at Burger King. He was not sure Huo Dong would come, but he waited anyway. He waited for half an hour, distracted, until someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Compared to the photo, Huo Dong looked more elegant in person. His white shirt was a little transparent, and he wore a vest underneath. He said with a smile, "You are much younger than I thought." He was also different from what Song Guiyi had imagined. The first impression he gave was that he was ordinary. A professor can be ordinary, but a murderer should not be ordinary. He committed the blood crime of parricide, but his demeanor was still relaxed and natural.

Song Guiyi gave him the Coke he bought and asked, "How did you know it was me?"

Huo Dong smiled and said in a classroom-like tone: "First of all, you are definitely not a woman. I have a wife, and a normal adult woman doesn't speak like you do. To disguise your gender will only make you look like you have little life experience. Then it's about time. We agreed to meet at 1:30. Assuming you arrived at 1, you should have had lunch and wouldn't order too much. You are the only one among the guests here who didn't order a staple food, and you also ordered two drinks." He took the Coke from Song Guiyi, "Thanks, your Coke, you'll pay for the meal."

Song Guiyi sighed slightly, "I asked you out because of your father. Do you remember that Lu Tao asked you to take pictures at the beginning? Just for me."
