Chapter 1219 Dr. Baker

After another section of gravel road, the SUV finally drove into Nuuk’s downtown area.

As the largest city in Greenland and the administrative center of Nuuk, there were about 17,000 people living here. In China, this might be the number of people in two small communities, but it could be considered dense on this island. After all, the third largest city in Greenland, Ilulissat, only had 5,000 people There were six police officers in the whole city, in fact, the locals were more used to calling all the cities other than Nuuk as settlements.

Although Nuuk was small, it had all the organs. Moreover, it was unknown whether it was due to the influence of Denmark, but the colors of the houses on the coast were also varied. There were red, blue, yellow, and purple. It was just like a fairytale world, the city’s various infrastructure was quite complete. The location of the dock was the liveliest. Fishing boats came and went, sending baskets of fresh seafood that had just been caught onto the shore.

Fishing and mining were also the backbone of Greenland’s economy. Probably because it was summer, the snow in the city had melted, and there were yellow flowers blooming by the roadside, swaying in the wind.

Song Jia parked the SUV outside a convenience store and bought two cups of hot cocoa to fill her stomach. She drank one cup for herself and handed the other to Zhang Heng, who thanked her and took the cocoa, however, when Song Jia finished her cup, she realized that Zhang Heng had not touched the other cup at all.

“Aren’t you going to try it?”Song Jia asked. “It’s very delicious, especially in winter, when the temperature here will drop below zero degrees Celsius. There’s nothing happier than drinking a cup of hot cocoa then.”

“I’m a little allergic to Cocoa.”Zhang Heng made up an excuse to avoid it.

Greenland was a completely foreign place to him. Furthermore, he was here to investigate something that happened eighteen years ago. Even though he didn’t tell anyone before he left.., however, he wasn’t sure if Kronos would have any means to find out his location. After all, he was the agent of the former, and Kronos considered himself his guardian angel. He had always been elusive.

In addition, Zhang Heng had investigated Songjia’s resume. He didn’t find anything wrong with the girl after getting off the plane, but he wouldn’t let his guard down either, after all, his current opponents were not only players but also gods. Therefore, many things couldn’t be judged according to common sense.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I should have asked you before buying, “Songjia apologized immediately.

“It’s okay. If there’s nothing else, Let’s get back to business.”

“Okay, this place is very close to the University of Greenland. Let’s go to the school first and see if he’s there.”

Song Jia finished her hot cocoa to replenish her energy and drove the SUV outside the University of Greenland. However, after asking the students, she found out that Baker had just left this place after work.

Although both of them regretted missing Baker, Song Jia also knew where Baker was now. Soon, she brought Zhang Heng to Baker’s house.

Dr. Baker’s house was close to the sea, so one could see the sunset and sunrise. Because of Greenland’s unique geographical location, the ratio of day to night here was also very magical. For example, in the summer, Greenland had more than 21 hours of sunshine. Therefore, although it was already six o’clock in the afternoon, the sky did not darken at all. On the contrary.., in winter, Greenland would only have three hours of daylight.

“Huh?”Song Jia asked after parking the car.

Zhang Heng, who was standing beside her, also looked around. “What’s Wrong?”

“I didn’t expect his clinic to close so early,”song Jia said before explaining, “Dr. Baker’s residence is with the clinic. The first floor is where he receives his patients, and the second floor is his bedroom.”

“Does he have a wife and children?”Zhang Heng asked as he opened the car door.

“No, he usually lives alone. It’s said that when he first arrived, he hired a young girl to receive patients. However, when he realized that the clinic wasn’t doing much business, he fired her. With the cost reduction and the additional salary from the University of Greenland, he managed to survive.”

Song Jia turned off the engine and got out of the car. She arrived at Dr. Baker’s tightly shut door. However, she realized that Zhang Heng, who had been very positive about the whole trip, was standing still beside the car.

Song Jia followed Zhang Heng’s gaze and saw a row of glass windows. “Oh, that’s a small tavern. Do you want to come here for a drink after you’re done?”

“We’ll talk about it then.”Zhang Heng was noncommittal. He retracted his gaze and walked over to Song Jia’s side.

The latter took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

However, there was no response from the room.

“Could it be that he didn’t come straight back after work?”Song Jia muttered under her breath. She increased her strength to ensure that she could be heard by the people inside.

However, there was still no response.

Therefore, song Jia went around to the window on the west side of the hut. She placed her hand on the window and looked inside. However, she soon regretted her actions.

Zhang Heng heard a scream. Then, he saw song Jia quickly take two steps back. However, she didn’t notice the slope under her feet. She almost rolled down from it. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a hand grabbed her back.

“Are you okay?”

“I… I’m fine.”Song Jia was obviously still in shock, and Zhang Heng quickly figured out the reason for her scream.

This was because a middle-aged man in his fifties was standing behind the translucent curtain, looking at them coldly. There was no color on his pale face, song Jia probably met his face just now.

“Dr. Baker?”Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, that’s Dr. Baker. I didn’t expect him to be at home, and it’s on the first floor. Why didn’t he come to open the door just now?”Song Jia had already steadied herself, she was relieved from her fear. She knew Dr. Baker from the start, but she didn’t expect him to be standing by the window just now.

Then, Zhang Heng saw Dr. Baker also move. After a while, the door was finally opened, but he didn’t go out. Instead, he stood behind the door and said something in Danish. Zhang Heng didn’t wait for Song Jia to speak, but he spoke in English first, “I feel like there’s something wrong with my mind. I often feel nervous for no reason, and I can’t sleep normally at night. I even sweat. I heard that you’re the only psychiatrist on the island, so I asked Song Jia to bring me here to take a look at you.”

Dr. Baker frowned at Zhang Heng. After a moment, he turned to look at the travel bag in Zhang Heng’s hand. “You’re a Tourist?”

“That’s right. He just got off the plane. I went to the airport to pick him up,”song Jia said.

“Come in.”

Dr. Baker didn’t say anything else and finally moved away from the door.
