Chapter 3: THE SUNFLOWER GLOWS IN THE SUN, RAVENS COME TO FIND PREYS

"How's your analysis?" Louis asked when he saw the technical team trying to analyze and distill the video.

Not when extremely stressed because the video content is too short and mostly focuses on the main character lying on the other bed, Phoebe Edward. Louis couldn't concentrate, he was pacing back and forth when suddenly his phone rang. It was the sound of an email from Louis, he quickly opened his phone to see that it was indeed an email. In the email there was nothing but a line: "The sunflower is on sun and the crows come to find the bait..."

“It was a message from the kidnapper, but what was his intention?” Egbert saw Louis's email and immediately wondered.

The technical team also received information that Louis just received an email, so their job is to quickly find the ID of the email with the aim of quickly determining the location where the kidnapper is living and holding his wife. It's been almost a day since receiving the kidnapper's email, Louis couldn't sleep, he quickly flew to France and quickly discussed with the investigation team. However, he doesn't look exhausted, his wife has been fighting the kidnapper for hours and now he can only sit here and do nothing.

"It's rare to see you like that, criminal psychologist!" Egbert saw the dirty appearance of Louis standing on the balcony, he also went out with his friends to get some fresh air, ready to use cigarettes to calm his friend's mood. “You are no longer Professor Edward, now returned to be the CEO of a large corporation and later your corporation can reach all over the world. The royal reputation of your family Edward became more famous than ever. However, do you have any regrets? Regretted for having followed the path of criminal psychology, this path has indeed caused him a lot of trouble. Especially the thing about Violet…” The smoke began to rise into the air and then fell into an unknown space, just like the mood of its owner right now. Louis didn't say anything more, actually he didn't know what to say, that year he saw Violet die protecting him; Just like now, there was nothing he could do. As a criminal psychologist himself, he tried to study to become a professor with the goal of turning this society into a clean society without scum. Over five years he has become a famous criminal psychology professor in France and even thousands of international police want to cooperate with him to solve their difficult cases. But now, his wife is imprisoned somewhere in France, from someone who probably knows who Louis is but Louis can't do anything, can only smoke a few cigarettes to calm down. morale.

"I'm out here, I think I need to focus more so going for a walk will make me feel more comfortable." Louis stood up, ignoring Egbert's surprise. "When you have the results from the technical team, please let me know."

"If you find any clues, just stay there and wait for me, I will be there quickly, remember not to act foolishly." Egbert warned because he was afraid that his friend would gradually follow the culprit's clues and do things that endanger himself. “No, I think I will go with you, I will feel more secure. Come on let's go!"

"Then don't say anything, sir Flynn, I don't want to be bothered." Louis looked at Egbert with scornful eyes and then sighed to let his friend follow him.

The night sky in Paris today is quite beautiful, the sky is full of stars with every cool summer breeze blowing, making people feel comfortable. Although Louis couldn't get rid of his worries, a part of him also felt more at ease. He was walking down the street, not looking like one who was suffering from grief, he looked at the scenery and enjoyed it in a way that made Egbert behind him feel jealous as well.

“Bonjour monsieur! (Hello sir!)” A fat old woman, speaking in French to Louis, "voudriez-vous acheter quelque chose pour votre dame? (would you like to buy something for your lady?)"

Louis suddenly stopped, he looked at the French woman's handmade but extremely sophisticated crafts, he smiled slightly and began to choose something. Louis made the choice for a long time, making Egbert extremely impatient, he had always followed behind Louis, not daring to say a word, only silently protecting his friend. However, it seems that his friend seems to have forgotten his presence.

"Okay, let's go!" Unable to bear it any longer, Egbert decided to pull Louis's hand to leave when suddenly Louis took out a necklace from the pile of jewelry. A necklace, although nothing special, but the pendant is a circle with an inscription in French: "Tu es le destin de ma vie (You are my life's destiny)."

“Je vais prendre tout ça... (I'll take all of this…) ” Louis didn't care about Egbert, he continued, “Aide-moi à les emballer et à les donner à ce type. Voici l'argent, s'il vous en reste, gardez-le. (Help me wrap them up and give them to this guy. Here's the money, if you have any left over, keep it.)"

It felt like I had just met a big customer, the big fat woman thanked her repeatedly, she carefully wrapped the jewelry and gave it to Egbert. Not letting Louis go completely, she called out: "Votre femme doit être une personne très heureuse, je vous souhaite de plus en plus de bonheur. (Your wife must be a very happy person, I wish you two more and more happiness.)"

Louis' eyes suddenly dropped, perhaps what the old woman said touched the deepest part of his heart, Louis looked at the necklace with a pain in his heart. Violet died because of him, and Phoebe was in the kidnapper, life and death unknown. Louis clutched the necklace in his hand, he promised himself that he would definitely find Phoebe, protect her and not let the tragedy of the past happen again.

"The sunflower is on sun and crows come to find prey."

After all, what does it mean? "Sun Flower?" Was Phoebe being held somewhere near a sunflower field? Crows too, this season in the city of Paris will certainly see crows but not too many. What did the kidnapper mean to you?

“Hey, did you hear me?” Egbert was carrying a bunch of things, carrying a lot of things in his hands, he began to grumble, “Let's go relax, go enjoy life, why do you buy so many things. What a raven to eat…”

"What did you say?" Louis suddenly thought of something and asked again.

“Then I told you to buy a lot of things, such a waste. Like those crows, who rushed to find food, they were eventually burned by the heat of the sun and died. Didn't you see that movie?" Egbert suddenly spoke again, still carrying a pile of things.

“It's greed…” Louis whispered, then suddenly he asked Egbert again. “Egbert, do you know any popular bars nearby?” “What do you mean? What does the famous bar have to do with sunflowers and crows? Besides, aren't the places to look for the places where sunflowers and crows are grown? Why are you looking for a bar?” Egbert asked again, “And if it's a bar, there's probably a pretty famous bar in the East of Paris, what's the name…Let's see, it seems to be One Night. That's the only place the police don't dare to touch, we are still dropping bait to find the drug trafficking ring at One Night."

"That is it!" Louis said, “Send someone to One Night quickly.”

Just as Louis finished speaking, Egbert's phone also suddenly rang. It was Egbert's subordinate who had called him in the first place. Picking up the phone Egbert asked the familiar question again: "What's wrong?"

“Boss, the police team on the East side is asking for help because the case of that naked man is related to the One Night bar. After preliminary examination, it was discovered that the man's body contained meth and the last time someone saw the man having sex with a girl and died at the One Night bar. Currently, the police side does not dare to "hit the snakes and move the grass", hoping to receive the direction of the boss."

“Okay, tell the police over there that we take this case, Louis Edward and I will hurry to that bar right away. You arrange Giselle and Jacob there too. See you at One Night.”

Hanging up the phone, Egbert looked happily in Louis' direction and said: "Looks like all roads lead to Rome. I find this case unacceptable. We just need to go to that bar.”

“What if this has nothing to do with Phoebe's kidnapping? Not sure if my guess is correct either." Louis said, but his expression was still thoughtful.

“I have always believed in your analysis, Professor Edward. Don't worry, I will definitely save your wife."

Egbert put his hand on Louis' body to reassure his best friend, perhaps because Egbert had never seen this insecurity on Louis' face, to him Louis Edward was a man who was always calm in everything. , even if the matter is bad, Louis will not show any concern or insecurity. Only this time, more than two years after the death of Violet Grace, Louis' fiancée, he always carried an insecurity, afraid that one day this would happen again and his eyes Louis must see the person he loves leave him one more time.

“Have you booked your tickets yet?”

The voice coming from a dark space made the juniors feel scared. It was a person with great authority, this person just needed to let out a voice that was enough to make the air here choke.

“Yes sir, we have already booked tickets. According to reports, there is a murder at One Night bar and the dead person is the son of Finger Cop corporation, this matter has been duped by the police, if not solved properly…”

A slap fell on the junior who was standing and talking. From within the darkness appeared the face of a young man, probably between thirty-five and forty years old. The young man with an elite face but extremely cold, his eyes seemed to want to swallow the opposite person, causing the junior to fall to the ground, the corner of his mouth had blood stains. The frightened junior knelt down and began to beg the young man, the young man did not change, his mouth twisted into a smile.

“Do I need you to teach me how to work! Get out…"

The young man got up, he stepped outside. The juniors behind looked at the big brother's back and all bowed in unison, the young man didn't pay much attention, he just walked until he could see the night sky of Italy, a sky full of clouds. to make people's hearts flutter a little. The young man alone seemed a little sad, he looked up at the sky at the stars but seemed to be remembering something from the past.

“Royal…Royal…Come here, meteor…” The voice of a girl about ten years old was waving to a boy about her age. Both children climbed onto the roof and looked at the stars in the sky.

“Royal, what do you wish for?” the girl asked.

“I wish on a beautiful day like this, I can marry Phoebe…” The boy smiled and gently kissed the girl's cheek.
