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

Chapter 200 Fire? Do I know her? The South Team five years ago?
"Oh no! Is anyone still home? The fire is huge!"

"Isn't this Old Yang's house? Have you rescued the child yet?"

"Come out, come out!"

"..."

The residential area was an old one built twenty years ago, and the seventh floor was the top floor, which made the rescue somewhat easier. The onlookers were kept outside the cordon. Nan Shu was in the crowd, listening to everyone's chatter, and got a general understanding of the situation of the family whose house was on fire.

The couple are not so lucky locals in Hangzhou. They own a house in the suburbs that has never been demolished. Their parents live in the countryside. The house is a second-hand house that the couple's two families bought together and renovated as a new house. They have a daughter and a son. The daughter is in fifth grade and the son is in first grade.

At this time, it was the time when the children were getting out of school and the woman of the house was picking them up to go home and cook. Because it was daytime, the firelight was not very bright, but thick smoke kept billowing out, which was frightening to see.

Amid gasps from the crowd, a woman in her mid-thirties carrying a boy in her arms ran out under the protection of firefighters, with an orange cat blackened by soot following at her feet.

The boy was already terrified, clutching his mother's sleeve tightly, his eyes glazed over, his mouth agape, tears mixed with cigarette ash, making him look extremely disheveled. The woman was injured, her arm a bright red patch, as if burned by a high temperature, with a layer of skin peeling off.

Even so, when they reached a safe place, the woman still checked the boy over from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.

"mom…"

The boy felt as if something was blocking his throat. He grabbed the woman's clothes, looked up, his little face full of anxiety, but the more anxious he was, the less he could utter a complete sentence.

The woman thought her son was frightened, so she patted his back reassuringly with her other hand.

"Lele, it's okay, it's okay."

The boy shook his head, opened his mouth, and his face changed from black and white to black and red.

The orange cat that followed the two out circled around the woman's feet, meowing incessantly.

Nan Shu didn't know what the boy wanted to say, but amidst the cacophony of voices in the crowd, she heard the orange cat's anxious voice.

It said, "The little master is still upstairs, in the cupboard!"

Nan Shu's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, she pulled up the cordon, crouched down, and crawled inside. The two firefighters standing nearby couldn't keep an eye on her in time, and by the time they thought of stopping Nan Shu, they saw that the girl had already walked up to their captain.

He Ji was holding a walkie-talkie and communicating with his teammates. He could vaguely hear the sound of the surging flames on the other side, so when the girl suddenly appeared in front of him, He Ji subconsciously frowned.

But when he saw what the girl looked like, he was stunned.

There are still people inside the house.

Nan Shu said.

He Ji snapped out of his daze. "Where?"

This decisive question surprised Nan Shu. "In the closet." After a pause, Nan Shu quickly walked to the woman and scooped up the unresponsive orange cat with one hand. "In which room is your little master in the closet?"

The orange cat was stunned for a moment, not even having time to be surprised that Nan Shu could understand it, and hurriedly meowed, "Storage room, in the cabinet."

Nan Shu relayed the message to He Ji.

"it is good."

"Xiao Liu, it's in the cabinet in the storage room."

"Okay Captain!"

A voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Immediately afterward, a voice rang out again from the other end, "We've found the captain!"

"Okay, be safe!"

He Ji gave some instructions, switched to another channel, and gave orders. The entire firefighting operation proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

Fifteen minutes later, the girl was safely brought out by the relay team.

"Huanhuan?"

The ambulance had arrived and was treating the woman's wounds. Upon seeing the girl, the woman immediately stood up, incredulous, her face turning deathly pale with fear.

"Huanhuan, didn't you go out to play?"

The woman stepped forward, wanting to hug her daughter, but the daughter pushed her away. "You're not my mother."

The girl looked to be eleven or twelve years old, with a ponytail and wearing the school uniform of No. 10 Middle School. Her face was blackened by soot, and she stared at the woman with her eyes wide open, almost screaming.

"Why did you only save your brother and ignore me? Your brother is your child, but am I not? Waaah!!!"

Finally, the girl couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

The woman stood there, stunned.

The firefighter holding the girl was also in an awkward position, unsure whether to leave or stay.

"Huanhuan, that's not it, that's not it. Mommy just thought you went out to play with your friends. Mommy didn't know."

The orange cat jumped down from Nan Shu's arms the moment it saw the girl and landed at her feet, but the girl was still immersed in her grief and didn't see it.

Nan Shu stood not far away, watching this scene, and pursed her lips.

She could tell that the woman didn't know her daughter was in the locker, but it was also true that the girl had been forgotten at home by her mother and had witnessed her mother leaving with her younger brother, which had caused her great distress.

but…

Fortunately, it's not too late.

"Don't worry, we've contacted a mental health professional, and the girl will receive counseling."

He Ji took off his gas helmet at some point and held it in his hands, saying to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu was taken aback, turned to look at him, and asked, "Do you know me?"

Nan Shu couldn't think of anything else besides this.

This person believed her words without hesitation, even before he had the Qingshan District Criminal Investigation Detachment vouch for him.

"Hello, Miss Nan. My name is He Ji, and I am the captain of the Qingshan District Fire Brigade." He smiled, revealing a set of white teeth. "I saw Captain Nan and you from afar at the scene of that overpass car accident."

Nan Shu was taken aback, not expecting such a coincidence.

"Five years ago, during a military exercise in Hangzhou, we were assigned to the same group. Back then, your team from the South was a pretty sunny and cheerful young man."

Sunny and cheerful?
When Nan Shu thought back to the first time she met Nan Punian, the cold and aloof aura he exuded made it hard to associate that word with him.

but……

Nan Shu suddenly remembered the photo she had accidentally seen on Nan Punian's phone before, a group photo with Si Nian and Yan Nian. In the photo, the one smiling the most brightly was indeed Captain Nan.

"But after that incident..."

"Team Leader He."

Before He Ji could continue, someone called to him from not far away. He Ji paused, smiled and looked at Nan Shu: "Miss Nan, thank you for today. I'll treat you and Captain Nan to dinner another day."

"Okay, Captain He, you go ahead and get busy."

Nan Shu didn't know much about firefighting, but she did know that firefighting was not just about putting out fires.

As for the 'that matter' He Ji mentioned, Nan Shu thought she would ask Brother Wang or Forensic Doctor Xu when she had the chance. He had a better relationship with Captain Nan and might know more about it.

Thinking.

Then I heard a meow.

Looking down, I met the little orange cat's golden eyes.

"Meow~" Thank you.

Nan Shu glanced at the little girl, whose emotions had been calmed down and who was crying in her mother's arms, raised her hand to stroke her head, and then removed the burnt and curly fur from her tail.

"You're welcome."
