Chapter 150 Regret? A life-saving grace?

Why are you here all alone?

Second floor, corner of the hallway.

Nan Punian found Nan Shu leaning against the railing, lost in thought. Sensing the girl's emotions, he pursed his lips and naturally reached out to pat the top of her head.

"Hmm... I'm probably a little tired."

Nan Shu looked into the distance, where the neon lights of the street were flashing.

It wasn't that I was physically tired; it was just that after listening to Lin Ke'er's words, I felt uneasy and a bit choked up.

But Nan Shu didn't know exactly where she felt unwell.

After all, she had done similar work in her previous life and heard many people's stories, but none of them were like this...

Looking at the little girl's dejected appearance, Nan Punian suddenly felt a little regretful.

"Xiao Nan, yes..."

"Alright! I've decided! I'm going to go get some roasted pig's trotters to calm my nerves!"

Before Nan Punian could speak, Nan Shu clapped her hands and made her decision.

She's not one to dwell on things for too long; the matter is settled, and there's no need to let herself wallow in negative emotions.

"Huh? Captain Nan, what were you trying to say?"

Nan Shu turned her head to look at him.

"..." Nan Punian looked at the girl who had regained her energy and his lips twitched. "Nothing, want to eat pig's trotters? I know a barbecue place that's really good, it's on me."

"Okay."

After half an hour.

Nan Punian looked at Xu Yunli across from him with a long face, "What are you doing here? Didn't you hate eating at these roadside stalls the most?" How come you're not a germaphobe now?
"Oh, I'm hungry."

Xu Yunli slowly gnawed on the pig's trotter and said calmly.

Elegant, truly elegant.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

"Xiao Nan, you're getting a day off tomorrow, so just stay home and rest."

Seeing that Nan Shu had been "bitten" by the spicy pig's trotter, Nan Punian quickly pushed the soy milk over to her and said.

"tomorrow?"

Nan Shu took a tissue to wipe her mouth and shook her head. "I won't ask for leave. I'll ask for leave the day after tomorrow, Sunday."

"Sunday?"

Nan Punian was taken aback. "Is something the matter?"

In fact, Nan Shu could even skip coming to the branch if no cases occurred, but Nan Punian had a nickname, "Nan the Skinflint."

"Yeah, I received an invitation to Douyu's Mid-Year Conference. I'm going to Beijing on Sunday and leaving on Saturday."

"Capital?"

Nan Punian couldn't help but picture Wei Yue's irritating face.

The lip line instantly became taut and straight.

But he didn't have the right to tell Xiao Nan not to go, so he could only say, "Okay, Xiao Nan, are you going alone?"

"I wasn't alone; I was on the same flight as Gao's dad and Lao Liu."

Nan Punian had never met Gao's father, but Old Liu... Nan Punian remembered the fat man who was trembling like a leaf that night.

"After landing, Douyu should send staff to pick you up at the airport, so it should be fine."

Nan Shu thought Nan Punian was worried about her safety while traveling, so she said a few more words.

"Hmm... then send me a message when you land safely."

Nanpu Niandao.

Nan Shu nodded.

Eat and drink enough.

Nan Shu's mood had almost recovered, and she decided to pick up Tie Dan today.

After leaving the interrogation room, Nan Shu sent a message to Nan Sinian, asking if she could keep a cat. Nan Sinian readily agreed.

Nan Shu knew that Si Nian was quite wealthy, but his generosity and magnanimity were one thing.

On the other hand, even if the kitten is well-behaved, it is inevitable that it will occasionally scratch the furniture. Nan Shu still decided to put buying a house on the agenda.

Soon, the three arrived at Jinzhou Residential Area.

Enter the house using the password provided by Lin Ke'er.

Turn on the lights.

The room was completely quiet.

There was no sign of Tiedan at all. Nan Shu didn't look for it first, but instead tidied up the cat carrier, litter box, cat food, and everything else.

Throughout the entire time, Tie Dan remained hidden somewhere, completely silent as if the cat didn't exist.

"Meow." Iron Egg~
Nan Shu tried to communicate with Tie Dan using cat language.

There was a noise coming from under the sofa.

Nan Shu walked to the sofa and squatted down. "Tiedan, do you still remember me?"

Tie Dan poked his head out from under the sofa, his eyes fixed on Nan Shu with wariness.

Nan Shu tried to reach out her hand, but it breathed on her. Without Lin Ke'er around, Tie Dan seemed even more wary than during the day.

Nan Shu thought for a moment.

He took something out of his pocket and said, "Tiedan, look what this is?"

turtle:?
Tie Dan stopped breathing on it.

Nan Shu placed it on the ground.

Nan Shu could clearly see that Tie Dan's eyes seemed to have become a bit clearer.

Turtle: "Gurney, you son of a bitch...&%¥#@*!"

Nan Shu automatically blocked out the profanities that couldn't pass the censorship.

Tie Dan crawled out from under the sofa, watching Nan Shu warily while poking at its shell with its claws.

Turtle: "I bu (f***ing)... gurgle... I fuck... no gurgle."

Nan Shu squatted on the ground and tried to reason with it.

"Think about it, if I hadn't found you today and rescued you from Tiedan's clutches, you might be dead by now. Now is the time for you to repay my kindness, how can you still curse me? Don't you understand the importance of gratitude?"

turtle:?
Why does it feel that what this person said makes some sense?

Nan Shu glanced at the flight crate next to her, and before Tie Dan could react, she quickly grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and stuffed it into the flight crate.

They moved so fast that neither the cat nor the turtle could react in time.

I looked at the closed cage door.

turtle:?

Turtle: "No, I'm still inside! I'm still inside?!"

Nan Shu pretended not to hear.

He stood up, carrying his flight case, and turned to the two people standing in the doorway, saying, "All done! Let's go home!"

Return to the community.

Nan Punian and Xu Yunli helped carry the things upstairs.

Nan Shu chose the smallest room as Tie Dan's temporary lodging.

Arrange all kinds of food and drinks neatly.

After putting everything that needed to be protected back into the cabinet and taking down the curtains, I finally released the cat and the turtle out of their carrier.

After Tie Dan entered the carrier, he remained quiet the entire time. The moment the door opened, he darted out and hid under the bed.

Nan Shu poured the turtle out.

"Ouch, be gentle!" The turtle fell flat on its back, its four legs sliding in the air.

"He sounds quite energetic."

Nan Shu gently touched its claws, but didn't tease it for long. She straightened it up, and the turtle lay quietly in Nan Shu's palm: "The turtle is dead. If you need anything, please burn some paper money."

Nan Shu smiled.

My mood has inexplicably improved a lot.

"Then, Xiao Nan, we'll head back now."

Nanpu Niandao.

"it is good."

Nan Shu escorted the two to the door, where Xu Yunli stared at her with his dark eyes.

Nan Shu: ?
Xu Yunli: "See you the day after tomorrow, good night."

After that, he turned around and left.

the day after tomorrow?

Nan Shu blinked, then closed the door with a puzzled look on her face.

Today is Thursday, and the day after tomorrow is Saturday. She has classes, so she doesn't need to go to the branch office.

Nan Shu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She figured that the forensic doctor Xu was probably too busy and had gotten the date wrong.

After all, as a fellow forensic pathologist, she had indeed lost track of time when she was so busy that she didn't really remember the days.
