After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 212 She was clearly playing with a gecko
After half an hour.

Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu bid farewell to the two kindergarten directors and left the hotel in a police car.

The middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat, wearing metal-framed glasses, is Zhou Jingming, the captain of the criminal investigation team here.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan in the back row and said with a smile, "I worked so hard to find the Yangtze alligator yesterday, and I'm really sorry to trouble you again today."

"No trouble at all," Jiang Yuan smiled slightly. "It's my duty."

Zhou Jingming sat up straight, adjusted his glasses, and said with a hint of helplessness, "We're really stumped by this case. We've been investigating for three days and still haven't found any leads."

Jiang Yuan: "Captain Zhou, could you please explain the specifics of the situation?"

“Okay.” Zhou Jingming looked at the rearview mirror and said slowly, “The victim in this case is a nineteen-year-old girl named Xu Keyan, who was raped and murdered. The person who reported the case is her mother’s fiancé, Xiang Heng, who is thirty-eight years old this year. Based on the clues we have so far, he has been listed as the prime suspect.”

"But Xiang Heng claimed that he had never done anything to wrong Xu Keyan and her mother. He regarded Xu Keyan as his own daughter and felt very sorry and pained when he saw what she had gone through."

"According to the clues we found, Xiang Heng did indeed return to his apartment building just minutes before he called the police, and the semen found in Xu Keyan's body was not his after testing."

“During the period when Xu Keyan was murdered, Xiang Heng said he visited his deceased wife at the cemetery, but he could not provide effective surveillance footage or witnesses.”

"Xu Keyan's mother, Xu Li, also believes that Xiang Heng could not be the murderer..."

"But the fruit knife that killed Xu Keyan only had Xiang Heng's fingerprints on it."

Jiang Yuan's slender eyebrows furrowed, her fair face showing confusion. "Why does Xu Li think Xiang Heng isn't the murderer?"

Zhou Jingming: "She said that in their daily interactions, she felt that Xiang Heng had a strong sense of boundaries with Xu Keyan. It was also he who suggested that Xu Keyan live in the master bedroom with a bathroom so that it would be convenient for her to go to the bathroom at night."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's brows furrowed in thought.

Xiang Heng's ability to consider this point shows his meticulousness.

The mission this time is to "rescue the suspect." Is Xiang Heng really innocent?

"Are we going to the victim's home now?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Zhou Jingming: "Yes, go to the crime scene and see if you can find any animals..."

He sounded somewhat unsure when he said this.

They are criminal police officers, yet they need animal consultants to help them solve cases.

The police car stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu got out of the car and followed the two criminal police officers inside.

They entered Unit 3 of Building C and took the elevator to the ninth floor.

A middle-aged woman with a haggard face and a sorrowful expression stood at the elevator entrance.

She is Xu Keyan's mother, Xu Li.

Xu Li has been staying at her parents' house for the past few days, and Zhou Jingming called her to come and open the door.

"Officer..." Xu Li looked at Zhou Jingming and said excitedly, "You must find the real killer who murdered my daughter!"

"The police will do everything in their power to find the truth," Zhou Jingming reassured her in a deep voice. "Ms. Xu, please open the door."

"Okay." Xu Li took out her key and opened the door.

Zhou Jingming handed the gloves and shoe covers to Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu.

The room was left exactly as it was at the crime scene, everything was exactly as it was, and a suffocating atmosphere permeated the air.

Xu Li saw the pool of blood on the ground, the bright red color faded but it was still shocking. Her eyes instantly reddened, and she covered her mouth with trembling hands, letting out suppressed and painful sobs. Jiang Yuan turned her head to look at her, pursed her lips, not knowing how to comfort her, and could only say in a low voice, "Ms. Xu, please accept my condolences."

After saying that, she began searching the house.

Xiao Xu also helped look for it.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingming also called his men to search together.

Seeing this, Xu Li raised her hand to wipe her tear-blurred eyes and choked out, "Officer, what are you looking for?"

Xiao Xu looked at her and asked, "Ms. Xu, do you have any small animals in your house? Like cockroaches or the like?"

"Probably not," Xu Li explained. "I kill cockroaches all the time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingming slowly frowned, a sense of worry rising in his heart.

We've already hired an animal consultant, but what if we can't find any animals to work with?
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." A clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out.

Zhou Jingming immediately turned his head to look over, "Advisor Jiang, have you found it?"

“I found a gecko.” Jiang Yuan pinched the small creature stuck to the TV wall. “Gecko friend, don’t be nervous, I just want to ask you for a favor.”

The gecko was held firmly down and unable to move. It could only give up struggling and said helplessly, "Human, even if I wanted to help you, you wouldn't understand me."

"Who says I can't understand?" Jiang Yuan chuckled. "I can understand. My name is Yuan Yuan. What's yours?"

Seeing this, Xu Li's face showed displeasure, and she said angrily, "What do you mean? Didn't you come here to find the murderer who killed my daughter? What are you doing playing with geckos?"

“Ms. Xu, please calm down.” Zhou Jingming walked to her side and explained, “This is Consultant Jiang, whom we invited to help us find clues.”

"Is she looking for clues?" Xu Li's face flushed red with anger, her chest heaving violently. "She was clearly playing with a gecko, did you see that? She wasn't trying to help my daughter!"

Xiao Xu frowned and said softly, "Ms. Xu, please calm down. Consultant Jiang isn't playing with a gecko; she's looking for the murderer."

"She's looking for the murderer?" Xu Li pointed angrily at Jiang Yuan. "Are you trying to tell me that the gecko is the murderer?"

Xiao Xu sighed: "Ms. Xu, Consultant Jiang has assisted our police in solving many cases. Please remain calm and do not disturb her. We understand your grief over losing your beloved daughter and we also want to find the real culprit."

"But I really can't tell that she's looking for the murderer!" Xu Li broke down in tears.

After communicating with the gecko and making sure it wouldn't escape, Jiang Yuan walked up to Xu Li, showed her police ID, and said seriously, "Ms. Xu, this is my ID. Please take a look."

Xu Li looked at her identification, her out-of-control emotions gradually calming down, her hoarse voice trembling with tears: "Can you really find the murderer who killed my daughter?"

"I will do my best." Jiang Yuan said seriously as she turned and walked towards the balcony.

She looked at the little gecko clinging to her palm and said gently, "Xiao Chui, do you know that humans have been murdered in this house?"

"I know," Little Gecko replied.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did you witness the process of that human being murdered?"

"I didn't see it." Gecko Xiaochui shook his head. "My mom won't let me see it. She says it's not suitable for children and that watching it will give me nightmares at night."

"Did your mother see it?" Jiang Yuan frowned.

Little Gecko blinked blankly: "I don't know if my mom saw it or not, I'll have to ask her."
