Chapter 246 "Someone is touching my foot!"

Since Fu Xiaoxiao was not suitable to enter the crime scene, Chen Ziqi thoughtfully changed his approach: "The air inside isn't good, I'll chat with you outside."

Fu Xiaoxiao put her hands in her pockets, slowly squatted down, and shook her head emotionlessly: "You go inside and get busy, I can stay here by myself."

"Is this your first time seeing a corpse?" Chen Ziqi asked, initiating a conversation.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked up at him, her lips slightly parted: "Yes."

"You're quite brave," Chen Ziqi said, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall opposite her. "You're not afraid at all."

Fu Xiaoxiao: "Who said I'm not afraid?"

Chen Ziqi raised an eyebrow: "I could tell."

Fu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her voice tinged with grievance, "My legs went weak with fear."

At first, I wasn't afraid because I was worried that Jiang Yuan would be wronged. Later, I was angered by Xie Meichen's words. Now that I've calmed down, the image of Xie Yuchen's ashen face keeps flashing through my mind.

"I'm too scared to sleep alone tonight," Fu Xiaoxiao said, burying her face in her knees.

Scary, so scary.

Yuan Yuan is so brave.

When Chen Ziqi heard that she was afraid to sleep alone at night, he found her both funny and pitiful.

He thought of something and took out a coconut candy from his pocket.

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ziqi squatted down in front of Fu Xiaoxiao and comforted her, "Have a piece of candy to calm your nerves."

A few seconds later, Fu Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head and saw a coconut candy lying in his palm.

She looked at Chen Ziqi again, her brows furrowing even more. "Are you trying to appease a three-year-old? How can giving him candy cheer him up?"

"How about this?" Chen Ziqi said mysteriously, "You can call me if you're afraid to sleep at night."

Fu Xiaoxiao: "No way."

Chen Ziqi: "..."

Why isn't this person answering according to the expected script?

"Write down my number, just in case you need it."

Fu Xiaoxiao: "No need."

Chen Ziqi: "..."

He sighed helplessly, "You're being too uncooperative."

"Why should I cooperate with you?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked.

Chen Ziqi stood up and stepped back to stand opposite him. "I originally wanted to tease you and distract you."

Fu Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, "Don't think I don't know what you're going to say."

"You know?" Chen Ziqi asked in surprise.

Fu Xiaoxiao: "Isn't it just 110?"

Chen Ziqi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "How do you understand me so well?"

“It’s not that I understand you,” Fu Xiaoxiao corrected him, “it’s that I’m smart.”

Chen Ziqi's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "You are truly an exceptionally intelligent girl."

Fu Xiaoxiao: "..."

This person is acting strangely.

She took out her earphones from her bag and put them on, clearly indicating her refusal to communicate.

Chen Ziqi didn't mind and turned to walk into Xie Yuchen's house. "Any progress?"

"No," Xiao Xu shook his head. "This house is so clean there isn't even a cockroach."

Jiang Yuan said calmly, "Xie Yuchen is a clean freak. His family doesn't cook, rarely eats at home, and often hires people to clean."

"Shall we retreat first?" Chen Ziqi asked.

Thinking that Fu Xiaoxiao was still waiting outside, Jiang Yuan nodded: "Okay."

As Jiang Yuan passed by the entrance hall, she suddenly noticed an ecological tank on the cabinet, with a box of feed next to it labeled "freeze-dried insects".

"Wait a minute." "What's wrong?" Xiao Xu turned around to look at her.

Jiang Yuan pointed to the terrarium in front of her and said, "This family must have animals."

Xiao Xu and Chen Ziqi's eyes lit up. "Shall we look again?"

"Wait for me." Jiang Yuan took off her gloves and walked to the door. She saw Fu Xiaoxiao squatting on the ground and called out to her.

Fu Xiaoxiao was wearing headphones and did not respond.

Jiang Yuan walked up to her, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "Xiaoxiao."

Caught off guard, Fu Xiaoxiao was so frightened by the sudden touch that she trembled and fell to the ground.

"Did I scare you?" Jiang Yuan hugged her. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me."

Fu Xiaoxiao took off her headphones, her eyes red-rimmed, trying hard to hold back her tears. "It's okay, I wasn't scared. Are you done with your work?"

"Not yet," Jiang Yuan said softly. "Shall I have Xiao Xu take you home first?"

"No need," Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'll wait for you."

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Yuan pulled her to her feet. "Why don't you go inside and wait for me?"

Fu Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly, "May I go in?"

Jiang Yuan: "You can just sit inside and play on your phone while we wait."

“Okay.” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded.

Jiang Yuan led her into Xie Yuchen's house, saying, "Just sit on the sofa and play on your phone."

"Then you go ahead and get busy." Fu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. "Don't worry about me."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan walked toward Xiao Xu and Chen Ziqi and explained in a low voice, “I’m worried about Xiao Xiao. Let her sit there. I promise she won’t mess things up. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.”

Xiao Xu and Chen Ziqi both said there was no problem, and then continued their search.

The terrarium isn't very big, and the animals inside are probably quite small as well.

Judging from its food, it should be a reptile, such as a lizard or spider.

Jiang Yuan and the other two searched the room, the kitchen, and the gaming room, looking in every corner, but they couldn't find even the slightest trace of an animal.

"Have you found anything?" Chen Ziqi asked as he walked out of the e-sports room.

Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu answered at the same time, "No."

Chen Ziqi frowned and said, "I'll go look in the restroom."

Fu Xiaoxiao sat upright on the sofa, her buttocks barely touching the edge. Her body was like a taut string, and a chill, like a cold tide, surged up from the soles of her feet.

She pursed her lips, took a deep breath with difficulty, and Xie Yuchen's pale face flashed through her mind again and again.

Just then, a strange sensation suddenly came from my foot.

Fu Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled, fear overwhelmed her, and a scream escaped her throat: "Ah—help!"

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Yuan and the other two immediately went to the living room.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuan asked anxiously.

Fu Xiaoxiao dared not move, and said in a trembling voice, "Someone is touching my foot!"

The expressions on their faces changed drastically. Jiang Yuan immediately squatted down to check, Chen Ziqi went around to the other side of the sofa, and Xiao Xu touched the gun at his waist.

Seeing the little creature clinging to Fu Xiaoxiao's leg, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, it's a spider!"

"Found it?" Chen Ziqi was somewhat surprised.

The little spider clung shakily to Fu Xiaoxiao's leg, crying out in alarm, "Ahhh, what's that sound?"

“Little spider, we are human.” Jiang Yuan slowly reached out and picked it up.

The little spider thrashed about on its eight legs, struggling in the air, crying out, "Help! I've been caught by those horrible humans!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Jiang Yuan quickly reassured it. "I won't hurt you."

She walked quickly to the terrarium, put the little spider in, put on the escape-proof net, and turned to look at Fu Xiaoxiao. "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, it's just a little spider."

"Little Spider." Fu Xiaoxiao felt her heart pounding like a baton, and pursed her lips as she said, "You scared me to death! I thought there was someone under the sofa."
