Chapter 219 Dog Food? His Girl? What an Accident? Xiao Shu?!

"Do you know?"

As Hu Yan was imagining things, a girl's questioning voice suddenly rang out from behind him. He froze, turned around abruptly, and blurted out.

"I don't know you, I'm not familiar with you, what's wrong?"

It gives the impression that they're trying to cover something up.

Nan Shu's suspicious gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

Xu Yunli pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingertips. "Yes, I just chatted with Mr. Hu for a while. He was asking about the current employment prospects for forensic medicine majors."

Hu Yan: "Yes!"

Xu Yunli glanced at him.

Hu Yan coughed lightly: "Well, it's getting late, and the contract has been signed. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. My kids are very clingy."

Having said that, he nodded to the three of them with a stern face, then turned and left.

Nan Shu: ...

"Mr. Hu looks quite young, his child is probably only one or two years old at most, why is he already thinking about university majors?"

Nan Shu watched Hu Yan's departing figure, her voice tinged with surprise.

Is it so curly?
"Hmm..." Xu Yunli paused, "I guess parents always worry about their children." Then she changed the subject, "Did you take pictures to keep a record?"

Nan Shu nodded.

"almost."

"How about we go out for a meal together? To celebrate, it's on me." Xu Yunli's gaze fell on the girl, his eyes filled with undisguised tenderness.

"Okay, but since your fever has just subsided, you should eat something light."

Nan Shu didn't show it on her face, but only she knew how excited and agitated she was.

In just a few more days, she will own her own house!
Like a drifting duckweed, after wandering around, it finally found a place to take root, and felt a sense of peace and fulfillment as if its heart was filled.

Xu Yunli kept his gaze fixed on the girl, noticing the ever-present curve of her lips, and felt a strange tenderness welling up inside him.

"it is good."

He agreed softly.

Wang Ling stood aside, silently serving as a background figure.

The house was sold, Nan Shu got the house, the big boss behind it achieved his goal, Wang Ling got her commission, and everyone was happy.

Just ...

Wang Ling: Burp!

There's so much dog food that she's considering applying for workers' compensation.

……

Xu Yunli took Nan Shu to a well-established clay pot congee shop that had been open for over twenty years. It was located on a street corner, with a shop of less than 30 square meters and six tables neatly arranged.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed with people.

The two people and their dog were very lucky; as soon as they arrived at the shop, a table of customers left.

The boss quickly tidied up the table, and Tie Hanhan stood quietly at Nan Shu's feet, without making a fuss.

Xu Yunli scalded the bowls and chopsticks and pushed them in front of Nan Shu.

"Thank you."

Xu Yunli smiled at her, said "Wait a moment," got up and went to the kitchen. About five or six minutes later, he came back with a large plastic bag and a bowl of minced meat in his hand.

Xu Yunli squatted down, spread the plastic bag on the ground, indicating that Tie Hanhan could lie on it, and then placed the bowl in front of it.

Tie Hanhan glanced at Nan Shu.

Nan Shu was surprised that Xu Yunli had gone to the kitchen to discuss these matters. She paused for a moment, then gently patted Tie Hanhan's head. Only then did Tie Hanhan lower his head and begin to eat the meat.

"Thank you."

Nan Shu thanked her again.

“Actually, there’s no need to be so polite…” Xu Yunli murmured.

"what?"

Nan Shu didn't hear clearly, but Tie Hanhan, who was eating meat, did. His furry ears perked up, he looked at Xu Yunli, then at Nan Shu, and continued to lower his head and slurp.

"nothing."

Xu Yunli shook his head, took out a disinfectant wipe to wipe his hands, looked at the girl who was holding her chin with both hands and watching the silly girl eat meat, and was about to say something when his phone vibrated twice.

He frowned, picked it up and glanced at it, his expression immediately becoming serious.

"How..." Before Nan Shu could ask, her phone, which was on the table, vibrated twice.

Pick it up. It's a report from Nan Punian, issued by the fire department.

Nan Shu clicked on it.

Slide to the final result: The fire started at the bedside table in the master bedroom.

Analysis suggests that the fire likely started when a doll on the bedside table accidentally touched a lit incense burner. The doll contained flammable cotton, causing the fire to escalate rapidly. Furthermore, since Sun Wenwen's main business was children's clothing, and her room was filled with sample garments and boxes, all of which were flammable, the fire quickly spiraled out of control.

Judging from this result, it seems more like an accident.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xu Yunli had finished reading and, seeing Nan Shu's furrowed brows, asked her a question.

"do not know."

Nan Shu put down her phone and shook her head.

In her past life, Nan Shu had handled two or three cases where all the wives had passed away, leaving only the husband to live off the family's wealth.

So I unconsciously made that connection.

However, Nan Shu also knew that while it's possible to imagine when handling a case, it's also important to base it on evidence and think logically and systematically, rather than letting your imagination run wild or even making a judgment that the other party is guilty based on personal bias, and then looking for evidence of their crimes. These are all unacceptable practices.

"In that case, can Zhu Quan take the deceased's body back?"

Zhu Quan was the husband of the deceased, Sun Wenwen.

Nan Shu looked at Xu Yunli.

"Well... according to the procedure, that's how it is."

Xu Yunli paused, glanced at the smiling owner who brought over the steaming porridge, and didn't continue the conversation.

"Please enjoy your meal, these are all homemade dishes."

"thank you boss."

Nan Shu exhaled a breath of stale air and put the case aside for the time being.

Eat properly!
The porridge was soft, tender, and fragrant. Nan Shu ate three bowls in one go and broke out in a sweat.

The congee shop wasn't far from Xu Yunli's neighborhood, so the two of them and their dog strolled over slowly, taking it as a way to digest their food.

"Okay, you can go in now. I just hailed a taxi and will be there soon."

Standing at the entrance of Xu Yunli's residential compound.

Nan Shu waved her phone to show him the ride-hailing page.

Xu Yunli gave a soft "hmm," her lips moved, but she couldn't bring herself to say "whether we should come upstairs for a while."

Xu Yunli thought of that joke.

In his house, there isn't a single cat that can do backflips.

Think about this.

A face so handsome it could topple empires suddenly appeared before my eyes, followed by a carefree figure, a man in a suit exuding an elite aura... and Ah Nian.

His girl was the object of so many people's affections.

"it is good."

Xu Yunli gave her a deep look. He had suggested taking the girl home first, but Nan Shu refused because he was a patient and offered to take him home instead.

This was the first time a girl had ever escorted me to the entrance of my residential compound.

Hsu Yun-li said that this felt quite novel.

"See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Nan Shu smiled and waved to him.

Xu Yunli turned around and walked towards the gate of the residential area. He could feel the girl's gaze on his back the whole time.

Take out the access card.

Suddenly.

A dog barked.

"careful!"

Immediately following was the sound of a heavy object being knocked over.

Three voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Xu Yunli was stunned for a moment, then reacted in the next second, turned around, and saw a scene that made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

"Xiao Shu?!"

 I've been having insomnia and staying up late. I need to get myself sorted out and will resume updates tomorrow.
