I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Chapter 181 The Way of Survival? Human Bones? Found?
Judging from the size of the big black dog, it should be a medium-sized breed, and three years old for a medium-sized dog is equivalent to about thirty years old for a human.

My gaze fell once again on its emaciated body, which was only the age of an ordinary, healthy dog.

"After this is over, would you be willing to live in a human's home?"

Nan Shu asked it.

As the person, dog, and bird talked, they had already left Huayang Residential Area. Nan Shu glanced at the road; this direction... led to Huayang Snack Street.

Nan Shu's heart sank.

"Is this a reward?"

The big black dog's voice was completely flat. Nan Shu was taken aback, and then she heard it continue, "If you don't behave well, will the reward be taken back?"

"So, forget it, I'm fine now."

The big black dog's tone carried a hint of world-weariness, as if to say: In the end, it's all the same.

Since they will eventually be driven out and end up homeless anyway, why be so cruel as to let them experience warmth before driving them away?
Hangzhou has clear regulations for dealing with stray dogs. As long as a report or complaint is filed, a fleet of vehicles will come with nets and sticks.

Unlike new stray dogs abandoned along the way and lacking survival skills, the big black dog is already a seasoned veteran, well-versed in the ways of 'society'. Upon hearing the sound of the car engine, it will immediately hide and watch as fellow stray dogs are taken away. If the reaction is more intense, it may even be beaten to death on the spot.

The big black dog had seen many dogs and heard their stories, and knew that most humans were fickle and impatient.

Rather than experiencing warmth only to be abandoned again, it would rather just wander like this; after all, dying would be fine, the big black dog thought.

Nan Shu watched the big black dog's figure disappear and didn't mention the matter again.

Her initial plan was indeed to raise the black dog for a while, fatten it up, and then find someone to adopt it.

Hearing what the big black dog said, Nan Shu realized that she might have been naive. Indeed, she couldn't guarantee that the adopter wouldn't abandon the big black dog because it had been a stray or for other reasons.

After all, abandonment can really be decided in the blink of an eye.

If she were to adopt it… Nan Shu thought, then she should buy a villa with a yard.

Thinking of the million or so yuan lying in the account, and the debt I wrote to Brother Si Nian, I suddenly felt that the road ahead was long and arduous!
"This is it."

The big black dog stopped in its tracks.

Nan Shu gathered her scattered thoughts and looked at the flower bed in front of her.

This is behind Huayang Snack Street. Not far away is a row of trash cans. Although it is autumn, there are still many flies around the trash cans.

The trash cans were large, and there were two of each category, but at a glance, you could still see a lot of unsorted trash that was simply bundled up and thrown on the roadside.

The air was filled with a sour, rotten smell. Tie Lianhua couldn't stand it and threw herself into her arms. Nan Shu had smelled even worse things and didn't react. She looked at where the big black dog was standing, where two or three black garbage bags lay. One of them had a hole in it and looked like it had been bitten open by something.

Through the hole, one could vaguely see pink meat inside, which looked like undercooked pork.

Nan Shu's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly.

Not far away, market cleaners were tearing open garbage bags one by one and sorting out the contents. Flies were being chased away and flew around haphazardly in the air, making a buzzing sound. A few flew over and landed on the garbage bags. Nan Shu looked around and saw a surveillance camera not far away.

"Auntie."

Nan Shu sent Nan Punian a message and her location, then walked towards the cleaning worker, an auntie around fifty years old wearing an orange reflective vest. She stopped and looked puzzled as to why Nan Shu had lingered in such a dirty and messy place for so long.

"Auntie, is this surveillance camera always on?"

Nan Shu pointed to the corner. The cleaning lady glanced at it, then pursed her lips. "It broke down in the first half of the year. They kept saying they'd fix it, but wow, half a year has passed and nobody's come to fix it. When we ask, they say they don't have the money, that the stall owner hasn't paid off their debts..."

"This makes it impossible to see who isn't sorting their trash. Before, there weren't so many, but now everyone knows the cameras are broken, so nobody sorts anymore. Isn't this just adding to our workload? It stinks so badly… No money, no money, where did all the money go? Probably all gone to Yang Jian to keep a mistress, damn him…"

Yang Jian is the property manager of Huayang Snack Street.

Nan Shu: ...

The cleaning lady talked non-stop and revealed a lot of information to Nan Shu.

From the market manager to the old widower in the village who got a new wife...

Nan Shu had to interrupt her, otherwise her aunt might tell her all the gossip about her family for three generations.

"Auntie, what time do you come to collect the garbage every day?"

"Once at 7 a.m., once between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., and once at 7 p.m., three times a day, the salary is 4,500 yuan. We're retired now, and with our pension, it's 8,000 yuan a month. That's more than my daughter's salary, hehe..."

Nan Shu: ...

Auntie, those words are a bit harsh.
"Young lady, what do you do for a living? Do you have a boyfriend? You're so pretty! How about I introduce you to someone? His family is rich; they own several houses, drive a BMW, work at a big factory, and earn 200,000 yuan a year. The only downside is that he's a bit short… but that's okay. When it comes to life, money is the most important thing…"

This is what Nan Punian and Xu Yunli saw when they arrived.

"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but my family is not short of money. My sister is still young, so there's no rush."

Nan Punian stepped forward, stood behind Nan Shu, and put a hand on her shoulder to help her out of the predicament.

Xu Yunli glanced at Nan Shu before carrying the examination kit toward the black garbage bag.

The aunt looked regretful, then noticed Xu Yunli and his group, and asked with some confusion, "Who are you?"

Nan Punian took out his police ID from his pocket. "Auntie, we are police officers here to investigate a case."

The auntie was stunned for a moment, looked at Nan Shu, then at Nan Punian, and slapped her thigh in realization, "Oh, it's a police officer! What kind of case are you handling?"

Nan Pu Nian: ...

He's probably not old enough to be called "uncle" by his aunties.

"It's just a case, Auntie. I might need to ask you a few questions. If you know the answers, please cooperate with us. If you don't, just say you don't know."

"okay!"

Seeing that Nan Punian had diverted the aunt's attention, Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, quietly left, and went to the garbage bag.

The black garbage bags have all been untied.

At first glance, the ribs and bone fragments were mixed together, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat, which was sticky.

Nan Shu recognized him at a glance.

Pork... mixed with human bones.

Furthermore, based on the thickness of the bone, it can be preliminarily judged that it is either a child or a small woman. However, to be absolutely certain, we still need to find the pubic bone.
