A Cue for Love Chapter 5
Hold Herself Back
Natalie changed into a white coat and wore a pair of medical rubber gloves, unperturbed by the questions.
“I’m Natalie Nichols, the specially-appointed coroner, and I’m here to report for duty.” With that, she immediately picked up a foul-smelling piece of remains and sized it up without frowning at it. “Unfortunately for you, I do have the authority to tell you what to do. If you don’t like it, hold it in.”
Effie and Brandon were aware that the headquarters had sent an important person, but they never guessed that the important person would be the woman in her twenties in front of them.
They just stared at Natalie incredulously, frozen in place.
Seeing that the two stopped working, Natalie narrowed her eyes. “Why are you staring at me? Is there a clue to solving the case written on my face?”
Although the hyper-realistic mask on Natalie’s face greatly reduced her charisma, her sharp eyes remained intimidating. Subconsciously, the other two did not dare to raise any objections when they felt the calm aura emitted by her.
Within a split second, Effie and Brandon did not get distracted anymore and assisted Natalie in marking the corpses as they took pictures.
After taking the pictures, they loaded the body bags into the car and followed the vehicle back to the police station.
Then, Natalie got out of the car when the car stopped in front of the police station.
She was about to go into the autopsy room with the body bag when she was halted in her tracks by a stranger.

conversation, but she refused the invitation without any hesitation…” Billy replied without confidence as his
Without any hesitation? I’m doing it out of sincerity for Sophia, yet I didn’t even get to see her face.
“Did she mention her reason for rejecting my invitation?”
“She said that she was too busy with an autopsy at the moment to meet you.”
After saying that, Billy carefully sized up Samuel through the rearview mirror.
Samuel’s gaze turned dark upon hearing that as he pressed his finger lightly against his lips. Then, he looked at the Major Crimes Unit building and said, “Since she’s busy with the autopsy and does not have time to meet me, I’ll see her after she’s done with the autopsy.”
In all these years, Samuel seemed to be busy with work all day long, leaving his children to Steven’s care, but he had never been negligent toward Franklin and Sophia.
As long as there was a sliver of a chance to cure Sophia’s aphasia, he would never give up.
“Billy, has Natalie’s information been sent over yet?”
“Yes, but it’s just the basic information.” Billy continued, “I’m not sure if it’s related to her career, but her past experiences are all confidential.”
“Can’t our hacker just hack the system?”
“Sir…” Billy closed his eyes and explained honestly, “It can’t be hacked. Not only that, but our system was counter hacked by them, and we lost millions of codes because of it.”
Upon hearing that, a hint of surprise flashed across Samuel’s eyes. The corner of his lips raised in amusement.
“Interesting! It seems like I must meet Natalie as soon as possible.
