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

Chapter 263 Reporting a crime? Suspicion? Murder? Wasn't it her on the other end of the phone?

Nan Shu turned off her phone, stroked Tie Dan's head in her arms with one hand, and clicked the mouse lightly with the other, checking the surveillance footage one by one.

"We're investigating. We're investigating."

Li Feng agreed, glancing at the white cat in Nan Shu's arms with obvious envy, "I also want to pet cats at work."

During this period, Nan Shu would bring different little ones to the branch. The little ones were all very well-behaved and quiet. When Nan Shu was working, they were very quiet and sensible, and did not make a fuss.

During breaks, he would try to cheer Nan Shu up and help her relax.

Li Feng felt that Nan Shu was just like an emperor in ancient times who selected concubines, bringing a different 'beloved concubine' to court every day.

Li Feng was so envious he cried.

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan glanced at him indifferently with his heterochromatic eyes, then turned around in Nan Shu's arms, turning his back to him.

Li Feng: ...

After relaxing for a bit, I got back to work.

In this case, the identification of the deceased encountered a bottleneck. There were no bones, clothing, or items in the three plastic bags that could identify the deceased. The plastic bags were very ordinary; they were shopping plastic bags from a China Resources supermarket chain and had no distinguishing features.

A set of footprints was found at the scene, but it was incomplete and not very useful for reference.

In other words.

Aside from the DNA not matching the gene pool, they had no other clues.

Finding that person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, a turning point came on the fourth day after the dismembered body was discovered.

"Why are you so sure your best friend was murdered? And not that something else happened and her phone just happened to be off?"

Just as dawn was breaking, a woman of about thirty years old, with long hair and wearing a khaki long-sleeved trench coat, appeared at the entrance of the detachment.

She said she was going to report the case, saying that her best friend's tone was strange and didn't sound like her, and that she suspected her best friend might have been murdered by her husband. She also said that the person who had been contacting her through her best friend's phone during this period was not her best friend herself.

Inside the interrogation room.

Nan Punian looked at Ling Meijia and scrolled through her phone screen. It was full of chat logs between Ling Meijia and her best friend Dong Anhe from the past few days. Nan Punian looked at it and saw nothing wrong with it.

Except for one thing: two weeks ago, Dong Anhe suddenly sent a message saying that she wanted to divorce her husband, Chen Cheng.

Ling Meijia asked her about the reason for the divorce, but Dong Anhe did not say. After that, the topic of divorce was never mentioned again in their conversations.

"Officer, you don't understand. It's just a feeling. I know my best friend best. I'm sure that since last week, the person I've been talking to on the other end of the line isn't her anymore."

Ling Meijia said with a confident expression.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

"Officer, as you can see, I've called her more than a dozen times in the past few hours, via WeChat video and phone, but she didn't answer any of them. Instead, she sent me a WeChat message several hours later asking what was wrong."

Ling Meijia took the earliest high-speed train in the early morning from Shanghai to Hangzhou. Her bangs were soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead. As she spoke, her two hands were tightly clasped together.

The worry on his face seemed genuine.

“At first, I was just a little suspicious, but it wasn’t until yesterday, when I ordered flowers and told the florist to deliver them to Anhe personally, that I found out that Anhe had taken a week off from work… After that, when I tried to call Anhe’s cell phone, it was switched off.”

After hearing what the florist said, Ling Meijia felt increasingly uneasy and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

At 5 a.m., both her best friend Dong Anhe and her husband Chen Cheng's phones were switched off.

then.

She rushed to Hangzhou to report the incident.

Hearing this, Nan Punian frowned slightly. Compared to what Ling Meijia said earlier, which felt vague and without concrete evidence, what she said later made Nan Punian truly believe her suspicions a little more.

After calming Ling Meijia down, Nan Punian took Nan Shu and her to the Yujingwan residential complex, which was jointly owned by Chen Cheng and his wife.

On the way, Ling Meijia described the couple's story in detail. Coincidentally...

Both of them graduated from Hangzhou University.

Dong Anhe majored in computer science and went directly to Huami, a major tech company, after graduation. Chen Cheng majored in civil engineering in college, worked on construction sites for two years, and then transferred to a design institute, where he is now a mid-level designer.

Both husband and wife were top students. They got together in their sophomore year of college, and their relationship blossomed from school uniforms to wedding attire. To outsiders, they seemed like a perfect couple, a model of happiness.

As Dong Anhe's best friend, Ling Meijia knew a lot about the inside story. The couple often quarreled from dating to marriage, and it took them a lot of time to adjust to each other and compromise before they entered into marriage.

After getting married, the two worked hard together, without relying on their parents, and bought a large apartment in the Yujingwan community in Hangzhou.

Logically speaking, life should gradually improve.

Until two weeks ago.

The message Dong Anhe sent made Ling Meijia realize that her friend's life might not be as peaceful and wonderful as she had imagined.

"...If I had known, I should have come to Hangzhou sooner."

At this point, Ling Meijia finally couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

Nan Shu sat to the side, unsure how to comfort her, and could only gently pat her back.

Everything is still just Ling Meijia's guess; what if it's not true...?

……

Yujingwan residential community is located at the junction of Binjiang District and Qianshan District. It is right next to the subway, making transportation convenient. It is also very close to the workplaces of the couple.

Upon seeing Nan Punian's police officer ID, the property management immediately sent a staff member to accompany him and help open the door.

The building has two apartments per floor. There is a pegboard in front of Chen Cheng's door with all sorts of cute doll hooks hanging on it.

The staff knocked on the door first to confirm that Chen Cheng and his wife were not home before opening the door with a spare key.

Upon entering, you'll see a foyer, and immediately upon looking out, you'll see the balcony windows wide open, with a strong lemon-scented air freshener smell permeating the air.

Because it's so strong, the smell is actually quite unpleasant.

All four of them subconsciously frowned.

"Anhe? Anhe, are you home?"

Ling Meijia stood at the door and shouted loudly, but only silence answered her.

"Meow~"

Tie Dan, who had been very quiet in Nan Shu's arms, suddenly made a sound.

Nan Shu was taken aback and looked down at it.

"Really?"

Tiedan nodded.

"what happened?"

Nan Punian stood at the door, not in a hurry to go in. His years of experience in handling cases made him sense something was wrong in the air when the property management opened the door.

"Tiedan said it smelled blood."

Dogs are known for their keen sense of smell, but cats are just as good.

The scent of air freshener is very strong and may be undetectable to humans, but it is much less effective at masking the smell for animals.

"Hmm... I'll go in and take a look first. Xiao Nan, you contact Ali."

"it is good."
