Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 214

The folks around here were all his father’s colleagues, and Stella was practically setting him up for social suicide.

“What are you hollering about?” Robin yanked her inside, casting a glance at me and Colin, and he quickly ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, “Well, this place is a bit of a mess.”

Colin and I stepped in, surveying the sea of beer cans and cigarette butts. A bit of a mess was an understatement.

“You’re just gonna let this case go?” Stella prodded.

Robin lit a cigarette, took a drag, then realized I was pregnant and hurriedly snuffed it out.

Colin frowned and pulled my head into his chest, “Secondhand smoke, it’s toxic.”

Robin rolled his eyes.

“Don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re smart but not that smart. Not being able to handle it is normal; it’s a matter of talent.” Colin said, trying to offer comfort.

I opened my mouth without uttering a word, feeling awkward. Colin’s idea of comfort was a bit too blunt.

Robin’s lips twitched as if he wanted to kick Colin out, but his good manners held him back. “Even though I’ve stepped down, it’s not all bad news. The higher–ups have sent down an expert, a real wiz in criminal investigations. Heard he’s from the Genius Class too, probably crossed paths with your man.” Robin glanced at me, “Name’s Finn, supposed to have an extraordinary memory. He doesn’t miss a thing once he’s seen the crime scene.”

I looked at Colin with surprise. Could this guy really be that impressive?

Colin just snorted softly, muttering under his breath, “Useless, I give you that.”

I was like, “?”

Although Robin didn’t catch Colin’s mutter, I did. It was clear he and this Finn didn’t get along.

“Genius Class – they’re one in a billion, truly exceptional; hope he can crack the case as soon as possible.” Stella whispered, hopeful.

“There’s a world of difference between geniuses,” Colin disproved Stella’s words.
