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

Twenty years ago, China was in a period of rapid economic development, and all industries were waiting to be developed, including the construction industry. There were dozens of construction companies in Hangzhou alone.

among them.

Gaosheng Industrial is the most famous and has the most abundant funds. The owner of Gaosheng Industrial, Gao Wensheng, graduated from the architecture major of Shanghai University and has a great deal of research on building structure and design.

The houses built by the Gao family have never had any major problems to this day, and their quality and reputation are excellent.

At the time, news spread from who knows where that the old Hangzhou office was going to be moved to the northern suburbs, and that the subway line planning would also be moved closer to the northern suburbs.

A construction blueprint for the office even circulated online, showing the office area, building, canteen, and other details in great detail.

therefore.

Land prices in the northern suburbs rose accordingly, reaching astronomical levels at one point.

It was around that time that the Gao family acquired this piece of land at a high price.

Of course, with the strength of Gaosheng Industrial, land was not enough to crush the Gao family. However, Gao Wensheng's son was later kidnapped. The Gao family paid the ransom, but the kidnappers did not hand over the person. In the end, they lost both the person and the money. Although the kidnappers were later caught, the person could not be found.

The Gao Wensheng couple were greatly shocked, and the office issued an official notice stating that there were no plans to relocate for the time being, and that the rumors circulating outside were just that—rumors.

For a while.

Land prices plummeted, leaving the company insolvent. Halfway through construction, a worker collapsed from heatstroke and fell to his death from the building. One tragedy after another struck.

Ultimately, Gaosheng Industrial declared bankruptcy. Gao Wensheng sold all his assets and then jumped off the roof of the unfinished building. Gao Wensheng's wife, unable to bear the blow, committed suicide by burning charcoal.

Li Feng had spoken so much in one breath that his mouth was dry, so he let out a long sigh.

"Actually, after investigation, it was found that the worker who fainted did not die. He was treated in the hospital for a month and was discharged safely. But at that time, rumors were rampant, and everyone was kicking him while he was down..."

A perfectly good company and a family have been shattered just like that.

Li Feng sighed deeply whenever he recalled it.

"correct…"

Li Feng paused, glancing cautiously at Nan Shu, "Well... I only heard about it. I heard that Nan Jianye had a close relationship with Gao Wensheng back then, but when the Gao family encountered a crisis, the Nan family stood by and did nothing. After Gao Sheng declared bankruptcy, Nan Jianye took its place and became the leader in Hangzhou's construction industry..."

"So there have been rumors all these years that the bankruptcy of Gaosheng Industrial was inextricably linked to Nan Jianye."

Nan Jianye is Nan Yanhui's father, and the original owner's father before.

"I see."

Nan Shu suddenly realized.

Seeing that Nan Shu's expression remained unchanged, it was Li Feng's turn to be surprised. "Xiao Nan... don't you have any other thoughts?"

For example, joining in the cursing of that old geezer Nan Jianye.

"No."

When she arrived, she had never even met Nan Jianye, let alone felt any love or hate for him.

but…

The fact that the Nan Jianye family could kick the original owner out shows that they are no good people. Since that's a given, there's no need to curse them.

Nan Yanhui was foolish enough to not see through Nan Wan's little tricks and was kept in the dark, but Nan Jianye was an old fox, so how could he not know?

However, he still acquiesced to this decision and kicked the original owner of the body, who had not yet graduated, had no source of income, and whose biological parents had already passed away, out of the house.

Nan Jianye... is even more cold-blooded than Nan Yanhui.

and so.

Nan Shu believed some of those rumors.

It's just that we didn't investigate back then, and even if we wanted to investigate now, we might not be able to find out.

The two drove back to the branch office close to noon.

As Li Feng got out of the car, he was about to ask Nan Shu to go to the cafeteria for lunch when he saw two people, one muscular and one thin, walk out of the hall one after the other. The thin boy clung tightly to the muscular man's arm like a frightened quail, while the muscular man looked speechless. "Brother Lei?"

Nan Shu called out uncertainly.

The burly man paused, glancing at Nan Shu. The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he strode towards her, calling out, "Little Nan."

It really is Brother Lei!

Nan Shu looked at the burly man in front of her. He was much more muscular than he appeared in the video. In the four or five degree weather, he was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a black down vest over it, and his arm muscles were bulging.

His skin was darker, leaning towards a uniform chocolate color, his eyes were smaller, and his lips were thinner, so at first glance, Nan Shu didn't recognize him.

"I just asked your colleagues if you were here, and they said you didn't come today. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Lei Ge, whose full name is Shi Lei, has a deep and resonant voice.

"Yes, then let's do it today. I'll treat you to a meal at our detachment's canteen. Don't underestimate it just because it's a canteen; the cooking is just as good as that of a chef at a five-star hotel."

Nan Shu glanced at the man hanging on her arm and thought to herself, "This must be Brother Lei's assistant."

Judging from his appearance, he must have been terribly frightened that night and hasn't recovered yet.

"Okay."

Shi Lei readily agreed.

With the case still unresolved, Nan Shu certainly wasn't in the mood for a fancy meal, let alone... He turned to look at his assistant, his lips twitching.

At this moment, any grand meal would probably taste bland and tasteless to the assistant.

Seeing Shi Lei's physique, Nan Shu simply ordered five dishes and a soup, all of which were main dishes.

Nan Shu looked at the man who was still pressed close to Shi Lei even after sitting down, and at Shi Lei's expression of utter despair. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, her sense of humor and morality at odds.

"Brother Liu, are you alright?"

Liu Yiran, Shi Lei's assistant, is three years older than Shi Lei, but he looks younger and looks like Shi Lei's younger brother.

Nan Shu cleared her throat and asked a polite question.

Liu Yiran was already half-dead. He was slow to react for three or four seconds before he seemed to realize that Nan Shu was talking to him. He slowly raised his head, glanced at Nan Shu, and uttered two words.

"not good."

Both of these words were tinged with a sob.

He seemed to suddenly open up, "These past two days, I've been having nightmares every day. His eyes are red, like they're shedding bloody tears, and his tongue is long, constantly whispering in my ear that he died a terrible death and that I should avenge him."

As he spoke, Liu Yiran shed two streams of tears.

Shi Lei raised his hand to his forehead.

Nan Shu and Li Feng exchanged a glance, then slowly moved away in perfect unison. "You shut-up, try to hold back your laughter!"
Nan Shu really wanted to say that the deceased didn't have a tongue at all, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back.

She was afraid that she might really scare Liu Yiran into something bad.

"Ahem... We also have a psychologist in our team. Lei, you guys will probably be staying in Hangzhou for the next few days, right?"

As an eyewitness who discovers the body, according to the principles of case handling, one is required to remain in the area where the case is located to cooperate with the police investigation.

Nan Shu was quite familiar with this process.

after all.

That's how she got through it at the beginning.

You'll get used to it after a few times.
