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

Chapter 249 A Spirit? A Search? Hiding People? Where's the Corpse?
Nan Shu patted the iron rod's little head and blinked her almond-shaped eyes.

"There was no other way. My family members are all quite clingy, and since they wanted to come, I simply brought them along."

However, because the driver was afraid of snakes, Nan Shu gave him an extra tip before he reluctantly accepted the fare.

Thinking about this, Nan Shu felt that she should put buying a car on the agenda as soon as possible.

Li Feng only muttered an exaggerated comment, and didn't mind the arrival of the three little guys.

The two arrived at Kong Lan's house. It was a small three-story self-built building. The third floor was only half-built, with a shed erected. The brick walls hadn't been plastered yet, leaving the red bricks exposed. It looked like construction had been halted for some time.

Li Feng brought a search warrant and used the key he got from Kong Lan to open the door. Since it was a search, Li Feng turned on his body camera before entering to avoid any unnecessary property disputes.

The house wasn't very well lit; once you entered the main room, it immediately became dark.

There are three rooms on the first floor. Two of the smaller rooms are used as storage rooms. One room contains firewood, and the other room is filled with various daily necessities, such as rice and oil.

Passing through the main room, we arrived at the kitchen, which was a separate, small, single-story building. Next to it were the outhouse and the chicken coop.

As soon as you get close, a smell of chicken manure mixed with fermented feed fills your nostrils.

Li Feng instinctively covered his nose.

The overall environment wasn't very clean; there was a layer of straw on the ground, but Li Feng could still feel the ground pulling against his shoes, making them sticky.

I have no idea what that sticky stuff under the straw is.

Li Feng realized that Team Leader Nan had sent him and Xiao Nan over to do hard labor.

Wearing gloves, Li Feng checked all the places where people might be hiding, even opening and smelling the old jars of pickled vegetables.

So far, nothing has been found.

"Let's go take a look on the second floor."

Li Feng glanced at the outhouse and chicken coop. The outhouse was just an ordinary one, with a squat toilet and a flush toilet, completely exposed, without even a door to block the wind. He wondered if his bottom would feel cold when he used the toilet in winter.

There are a dozen or so chickens in the coop. They're quite good at roaming around on their own. When they get hungry, there's a small bucket of feed nearby. They don't want to huddle together anymore, so they flap their wings and fly out to wander around the yard.

Just ...

Nan Shu raised her hand and rubbed her ears. The chirping of more than a dozen chickens was making Nan Shu's eardrums hurt.

It didn't say anything useful; it was more like noisy white noise.

"Brother Li, please wait a moment."

Nan Shu called out to Li Feng and squatted down by the chicken coop.

She tried to greet him, and instantly the chattering chickens fell silent, all turning to look at Nan Shu.

Li Feng swallowed hard as he watched this scene, feeling a sense of dread for some reason.

"Do you know where in this house someone could hide?"

Nan Shu asked.

The chickens looked at each other, seemingly still reeling from the shock of a human speaking their language.

It's amazing, people can speak chicken language now!
"I...I know."

At that moment, a weak, slightly high-pitched voice rang out.

Nan Shu turned her head to look at the talking chicken. It was a small chicken, looking like it was only one or two months old, and its downy feathers had not yet completely fallen off.

Before Nan Shu could ask any more questions, one, two… all the chickens shouted at the top of their lungs:
"I know that too!!!"

Nan Shu: ...

Nan Shu tugged at her ear again, then looked at the chicken that had spoken first, "Where is it?"

The chicken glanced at Nan Shu, stretched its neck, and swaggered past the flock of chickens.

It seems that being chosen by Nan Shu is something that makes the chicken very proud.

"Hey, this chicken is practically a spirit."

Seeing this, Li Feng couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, his gaze unconsciously following the chicken.

The chicken stopped near the wall close to the latrine.

"Right here."

"The chicken said."

"Okay, thank you," Nan Shu said.

The chicken raised its little head and said, "You're welcome."

Nan Shu smiled, turned to look at Li Feng, and blinked her almond-shaped eyes.

"Brother Li."

Li Feng: ...

Three minutes later, Li Feng, wearing a mask, gritted his teeth and stepped into the chicken coop.

Perhaps because Nan Shu was there, Li Feng's entry into the chickens' territory did not cause any panic among them. Instead, they all stood still, watching Li Feng's movements without moving.

Li Feng pulled aside the straw lining the chicken coop, and a mixture of fermented feed and manure hit his nose. Li Feng gagged and tears welled up in his eyes.

Nan Shu: ...Terrible!
Li Feng gagged twice, then quickly and decisively pulled aside the layers of straw. Unless you looked closely, you wouldn't be able to see the colorful things inside.

But when you lift it up, you find a patch of muddy ground, and you can vaguely see earthworms wriggling in the soil.

"Nothing at all."

Li Feng looked carefully but couldn't see any signs that the surrounding soil had been turned over.

Nan Shu frowned. She believed that the chickens had no reason to lie; if they said it was true, then it must be true.

Thinking it over, Nan Shu stepped over the knee-high fence and came to Li Feng's side.

Li Feng was taken aback when he saw Nan Shu come in without any equipment. She was so calm.

Does it have no taste?
Li Feng used his arm to rub the mask down a little.

Turn around.

--"vomit!"

Li Feng: ...

"Xiao Nan, is there something wrong with your sense of smell?"

Li Feng couldn't help but ask a question.

"No, it's alright." At least it's much better than the stench of a corpse, which is something even a mask can't hide.

Nan Shu carefully examined the patch of mud and found nothing unusual. After thinking for a moment, she hopped around in place and then hopped around the spot where the chicks were standing.

Is there a difference?

Li Feng stared at her actions for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant and his expression turned serious.

"It seems... there is a little bit."

Li Feng imitated Nan Shu's movements. He was taller and stronger than Nan Shu, and much heavier, so the sound of his landing was noticeably different.

"It's hollow underneath?!"

Li Feng was surprised.

"possible……"

Nan Shu stroked her chin, turned and left, returning in less than a minute with a shovel in her hand, which she handed to Li Feng.

Li Feng: ...

Li Feng resignedly accepted the task.

They dug and dug and dug in the tiny chicken coop.

Li Feng cleared away the soil to reveal the stone slab underneath. He used a shovel to pry open a crack, then used his strength to lift and move the slab. If he hadn't been exercising these past few days, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift it by himself.

Originally intended to seduce rich women, it ended up being used for manual labor first.

"This is…"

Li Feng clapped his hands, looked down at the stone slab, and looked surprised.

"cellar?"

"You'll find out when you open it."

Nan Shuxing narrowed her eyes; she could vaguely hear the sound of water.
