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

The interrogation of Chen Peng, the probing questions from Qiu Ju, and the on-site investigation by the Gansu Provincial Police were conducted simultaneously on three fronts.

"Shushu, send me a message when you're done."

Wei Yue knew the priorities and wouldn't use his "green tea" tactics at this time. He simply looked at her with concern in his phoenix eyes.

"it is good."

Nan Shu nodded and turned to look at Nan Yannian beside her. "Brother Yannian, thank you for today."

Nan Yan replied in a youthful voice, "You're welcome, be careful."

"Uh-huh."

Without further ado, after saying goodbye, Ji Feng drove Nan Shu to the residence of Chen Peng and his current wife Qiu Ju.

Before becoming a dog trainer, Chen Peng worked as a forest ranger, earning a fixed salary. His financial situation improved after he gained some fame in the industry, but he could only afford a small two-bedroom apartment in the suburbs of Beijing.

Yanjiao Garden.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with plenty of greenery, but now all the leaves have fallen, leaving only bare trunks and branches swaying in the cold wind.

In winter, there is almost no greenery to be seen in Beijing.

As Nan Shu stepped out of the car, a blast of cold wind hit her face, and she instinctively wrapped her windproof down jacket tighter around her.

We arrived at Chen Peng's house based on his household registration information.

There are two elevators serving four households each, and Chen Peng's home is on the far east side.

Knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

A woman's voice rang out, followed by increasingly close footsteps, and the light around the cat's eye changed.

Nan Shu knew that the person inside was peering through the peephole at the door.

Ji Feng immediately showed his police ID.

The person inside hesitated for a moment, but then opened the door.

"you……"

The woman appeared to be around forty years old, with her hair tied in a low ponytail and wearing a thin long-sleeved loungewear outfit. She looked older than in her ID photo on her household registration, but her features still made it clear that she was Chen Peng's wife, Qiu Ju.

However, based on Nan Shu's expertise from her previous life, she could still tell that Qiu Ju had likely undergone cosmetic surgery. Her double eyelids, cheekbones, nose, chin, lips, and jawbone all had issues with the overall muscle structure, indicating that she had probably had extensive work done.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and Nan Shu will not comment on this.

Qiu Ju first glanced at Ji Feng, then looked at Nan Shu.

Ji Feng gave a brief self-introduction and explained his purpose, "I have a few questions I'd like to ask about Chen Peng. Would it be convenient for us to go inside and talk?"

Qiu Ju was taken aback for a moment, then stepped aside to make way for her.

"can."

The room was very warm, and the heat was almost overwhelming. Nan Shu took off her coat and draped it over her arm. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qiu Ju looking at her. She turned her head sharply, and their eyes met. Qiu Ju smiled awkwardly and looked away shyly.

Nan Shu frowned.

"you know me?"

Qiu Ju paused, then shook her head. "I just felt that the officer's surname, Nan... was quite unique, so..."

"Ms. Qiu arrived in Beijing quite a while ago, didn't she?"

Nan Shu understood and asked in return.

Although she felt nothing for the Nan family, she had to admit that Hang's father was a businessman with a talent for business, and now almost everyone in Hangzhou knew about Nan's Jianye.

"Yes... I came to Beijing to pursue my dreams more than 20 years ago."

Qiu Ju chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"After all these years, I've come to realize that I'm just not cut out for acting. Fortunately, I've managed to establish myself in Beijing."

"By the way, officer, you just said you wanted to ask about A-Peng. What happened to A-Peng?" Qiu Ju seemed to just realize what was going on and looked at Ji Feng with a worried expression.

"It's nothing, it might be related to a case, so it's just a routine inquiry. Ms. Qiu, please don't be nervous, just answer truthfully."

Ji Feng smiled and reassured him.

Qiu Ju nodded.

"What kind of person do you think your husband, Chen Peng, is..."

As Ji Feng said, he asked fairly common questions, and Qiu Ju gradually relaxed from being nervous at the beginning.

Nan Shu observed the whole time, looking around the small two-bedroom apartment. After a while, she found that there seemed to be no signs of a dog being kept inside.

Is the dog kept elsewhere?

Nan Shu asked.

Qiu Ju was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, I have a slight allergy to dog hair, so A Peng asked the property management to rent a piece of land near the road in the community, built a shed, and kept the dog there."

"Would it be convenient for us to come and take a look?"

"can."

There was some distance between the building and the shed. Qiu Ju wrapped herself in a windproof down jacket that almost reached her ankles and led the two of them toward the shed.

Although it's called a shed, it's actually surrounded by bricks, with windproof cotton covering the outer walls, air conditioning installed, and even the door is a high-security security door, showing how much care Chen Peng puts into his dogs.

"There's another iron gate inside, so I won't go in. My nose can't take it."

Qiu Ju opened the door, pinched the edge of her mask, and said to the two of them.

This actually made things convenient for Nan Shu.

"Okay, Xiao Nan, you can go in now. I'll wait for you outside."

Ji Fengdao.

Although based on Qiu Ju's behavior during the questioning, it can be basically determined that she does not know much about Chen Peng and the dog, and is unaware that Chen Peng may have killed someone in the past, but just in case.

After all, Qiu Ju was once an actress. If her acting skills weren't as bad as she claimed and she even fooled him, there was a real possibility of danger if the two of them went inside together.

After saying that, Ji Feng drew a military bayonet and handed it to Nan Shu, saying, "Be careful, shout if anything happens."

"it is good."

Nan Shu took the knife, put it in her pocket, and went inside.

Perhaps they heard the footsteps of strangers, because they kept calling out as soon as Nan Shu and the others approached.

But after Nan Shu entered the room, everything immediately quieted down.

Press the wall switch.

The lights came on, and they were a bit too bright. Nan Shu raised her hand to shield her eyes before she could see the layout of the room clearly.

There was an iron fence in front of them, used as a buffer to prevent the dogs from rushing out in a swarm after the security door was opened.

Dog food, toys, and some pet supplies were piled up in the corner.

The room was about 50 square meters, with dog cages on both sides and the cage doors open. Apart from the four dogs that Chen Peng brought to the film crew, there were seven other dogs in the room. At the end was a water channel similar to an old-fashioned flush toilet, which would automatically flush every once in a while, so the smell inside the room was not too bad.

Upon seeing Nan Shu, the dogs' eyes filled with wariness. Standing inside the fence, their eyes stared intently at her, revealing an indescribable eeriness.

Nan Shu glanced at the amount of dog food.

It seems that only dogs taken to film sets for acting get to enjoy the privilege of eating raw meat and bones.

Nan Shu picked up the dog food bowl, filled it halfway, placed it outside the railing, and casually rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms.

He asked, "Does dog food smell better, or do I smell better?"

Dogs: ...

Three of the golden retrievers wagged their tails, looked at Nan Shu as if she were an idiot, hesitated for three seconds between eating and not eating, and finally chose to tuck their tails between their legs, use their paws to pull the dog food bowl closer, and began to feast.
