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

Chapter 223 New Friends? Toxic? Old Bird Cries? Criminal Investigation?
Upon seeing what it was, Nan Shu, who was still somewhat sleepy, suddenly jolted awake and instinctively took three steps back.

This isn't a rubber band at all, it's...

Green spicy strips!

Seeing that Tie Dan finally let go, Tie Lianhua also released her grip. The green spicy strip fell to the ground, twisted a couple of times, raised its small green head, and revealed a pair of eyes smaller than mung beans. It looked at Nan Shu with a blank expression and flicked its red forked tongue.

Nan Shu: ...

"Xiao Shu, let me introduce you to my new friend."

Iron Lotus didn't notice Nan Shu's stiffness. Instead, it flew to Nan Shu's shoulder and happily introduced her to her.

The little green snake was delighted to hear the iron lotus's introduction. It shook its little head and crawled two steps toward Nan Shu.

"and many more!"

This time, Nan Shu simply took a big step back.

Tie Hanhan then realized that Nan Shu seemed to be afraid of snakes, so he quickly stood in front of her, staring at the little green snake with his dark pupils, and adopted a defensive posture.

"Xiao Shu, are you afraid of snakes?"

Seeing this, Tie Lianhua glanced at the dejected little green snake, then looked at Nan Shu, whose face had turned noticeably paler, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Nan Shu snapped out of her daze, looked at the wounded little green snake, and pursed her lips.

"It's nothing, it's just a bit sudden... Please wait for me a moment."

Leave the words behind.

Nan Shu turned and walked into the bedroom.

The little green snake lowered its head even further, turned around, and tried to leave.

Iron Lotus panicked and flapped its wings to block its path. "Are you leaving? It's very high up here. If you fall, you'll die. And how will you live alone as a snake after that?"

The little green snake remained silent, bypassed the iron lotus flower, and continued its outward crawl.

When Nan Shu returned with her phone, this was the scene she saw. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Where are you going?"

The little green snake paused.

not talking.

"Xiao Shu, stop it! It's trying to commit suicide."

Upon seeing this, Iron Lotus hurriedly spoke up, saying that this was its new friend, and it couldn't just stand by and watch the little green snake go to its death.

Nan Shu: ...

This was the first time Nan Shu had ever heard of a snake committing suicide.

but.

This is the 22nd floor! This tiny green snake, I don't know where it came from. If I accidentally lose my grip, I could very well fall to my death.

"wait."

Nan Shu said to the little green snake, "I'm sorry, I was really startled just now. Could you turn around?"

The little green snake was silent for a few seconds, then slowly turned around.

'Ka'

A flash of light went off.

Little Green Snake: ?

"Um... let me check first, see if you're poisonous."

Nan Shu chuckled dryly.

Little Green Snake: ……

It drooped its head somewhat dejectedly, its tail twitching, looking unhappy.

Nan Shu didn't know much about snake species, but the little green snake was so beautiful. It was green all over, and the whole snake was cute and small, making it look adorable.

But as the old saying goes, in nature, the more beautiful something is, the more deadly it is.

Nan Shu felt it was better to be careful; if she got bitten, it would delay her from making money again.

Green snake, non-venomous.

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she identified the species of snake.

Nan Shu put away her phone and looked at the little green snake. It had turned its back to her again, and the whole snake looked angry.

Nan Shu thought for a moment, then took a few steps forward, reached out, and poked its little head. It was smooth and slippery, quite different from what she had imagined, but actually quite pleasant to touch. The little green snake turned its head, staring at her with its eyes wide open.

Even cuter.

Nan Shu was thinking to herself when she accidentally blurted it out. Upon hearing this, the little green snake flicked its tongue again and glanced at Nan Shu, as if it were spying on her.

The little green snake tried rubbing its head against Nan Shu's fingertips. Seeing that Nan Shu didn't react, it became bolder and wrapped its body around her fingers and wrist, making just two loops. Its tail gently rubbed against the skin on the inside of her wrist, cool and itchy.

"You're quite impolite."

Nan Shu tapped its little head, and the little green snake looked at Nan Shu, who was so close, and covered its head with its tail.

But its tail is so tiny and pointed that it can't cover its head at all, not even one eye, making it look particularly comical.

Nan Shu couldn't help but chuckle.

The little green snake seemed to have been resting for a long time. After coiling around for a while, its head drooped, and it simply fell asleep on Nan Shu's wrist.

Nan Shu stared at the little guy for a while, thought about it, but still didn't take it off. Instead, she looked at the iron lotus.

When did you find it?

"Hmph, all you see is the laughter of the new snake, and you don't hear the weeping of the old bird. You weren't this gentle with her back then."

Iron Lotus is a vengeful parrot. She was just fighting with Iron Egg over the little green snake, but now she's jealous.

Nan Shu: ...

"What weird TV shows have you been watching these days?"

Yes, when Nan Shu is not home, Tie Lianhua will instruct Tie Dan to turn on the TV for her.

Iron Lotus tilted its little head and let out a soft hum.

"yesterday."

Tie Dan couldn't stand it anymore, and with a meow, gave Nan Shu the answer.

"You stinky cat, all you do is try to curry favor with Xiaoshu."

Ferritin glanced at it, but the big cat was magnanimous and wouldn't bother with the food.

yesterday?

Nan Shu paused for a moment, looking at the wire mesh on the balcony. The hole wasn't big, and the little green snake could indeed squeeze in, but the question was... where did it come from?

With its small size, can it really climb 22 floors?

The exterior walls are all made of ceramic tiles, not jagged rock walls.

"Do you know where it came from?"

Nan Shu asked.

The little green snake didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, not even when Tie Dan bit it in the mouth.

Iron Lotus shook her little head, "I don't know."

Nan Shu walked to the side, looked it over, thought for a moment, and then posted the photo of the little green snake she had just taken to the residents' group, asking if anyone had lost their pet.

The little green snake looks like it's been well-fed; it doesn't seem like a typical wild snake, but more like a pet snake.

After sending the message, no one replied in the group for a while, so Nan Shu stopped worrying about it. She changed into casual clothes, washed up, and took a taxi to the branch office with Tie Hanhan.

I just arrived in the lobby.

Nan Shu then saw an elderly couple, with a man who looked to be around forty years old sitting beside them.

The man's features bore a striking resemblance to the wife in the elderly couple. These three individuals matched the faces of Sun Wenwen's brother, Sun Wenzhao, and Sun's parents, respectively, in my memory.

The three looked haggard, especially Sun's father and mother, whose hair was almost completely white, as if they had suddenly lost their spiritual support. Even their backs were bent, exuding a grayish-white aura.

Overnight, a parent outlives their child, who is also their daughter and three granddaughters; the impact of such a tragedy is unimaginable.

Li Feng walked out from the corner of the corridor, carrying three bottles of water. He handed the water to the three people before walking towards Nan Shu.

"What's happening here?"

Nan Shu glanced at the three of them and asked in confusion.

Li Feng lowered his voice, glanced at the interrogation room beside him, and said:
"The parents of the deceased, Sun Wenwen, suspect that there are suspicious circumstances surrounding Sun Wenwen's death and have applied for a criminal investigation."

Nan Shu was taken aback.

Recalling what Nan Punian said last night, was this the news that Team Leader Nan was referring to?
