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

Time passed by minute by minute.

Mr. Liu held a glass of water that had gone cold, his eyes bloodshot, and remained motionless. While his wife was checking the security footage, she also rushed over. The couple sat quietly in the reception room.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that only Mr. Liu's murmurs could be heard.

"Why? Why did I let Xixi go alone... Is business really that important? I deserve to die! I really deserve to die!"

The proprietress was a quiet and gentle person. Seeing her husband so remorseful, even though she was extremely anxious and her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife, she still mustered her strength and hugged her husband's head.

"It'll be alright, Xixi will definitely be alright."

Nan Shu stood at the door for a while, but didn't dare to go in, as she wasn't very good at comforting people.

Footsteps sounded.

Nan Shu looked up.

Li Feng gestured to her: There's news!

……

"Based on comparative analysis, this vehicle should be the van used to abduct Xixi."

meeting room.

On the projector, a crystal-clear photo of a van was displayed.

"The license plate was fake, the driver was wearing a mask and hat, and the side windows were tinted. The car was last seen disappearing on a national highway in the northern suburbs..."

"It's the northern suburbs again."

Li Feng muttered.

Nan Shu looked at the road map. Going to the northern suburbs was easy to understand. That area hadn't developed much over the years, and there were many villages along the way with few surveillance cameras, some of which were even broken. It was a good place to run away and hide.

If she were the kidnapper, she would also run to the northern suburbs.

Once the direction was determined, everyone in the detachment began to take action.

Nan Shu didn't go with them, but instead pushed open the door to the reception room.

"Miss Nan!"

When Boss Liu saw her come in, he jumped to his feet, his eyes filled with trepidation and anticipation. "Is...is there any news about Xixi?"

He hoped for news, but he was also afraid it would be bad news.

Nearly two hours had passed since Xixi was abducted. In those two hours, so much could have happened: a person can suffocate to death after being strangled for five minutes, or fall from a high-rise building in less than a minute...

Mr. Liu dared not think about it, but thoughts are something that cannot be controlled by one's own will.

"not yet."

The light in the couple's eyes immediately went out.

Nan Shu didn't want to give the two any hope. Before finding the person, any hope would likely be devastating for them.

"I came to ask if Xixi's parrot and rabbit are still in the shop?"

The two of them were stunned.

Seemingly not understanding, at a time like this, Nan Shu still had the mind to care about the parrot and the rabbit.

"Here I am."

"That's what the proprietress replied."

After receiving a call from the homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu told her and then ran to the branch office. It took his wife a few seconds to react. She was anxious, but she forced herself to calm down, dealt with the matters in the shop, hung up the "Closed for Business" sign, locked the door, and then rushed to the branch office.

"Xixi loves them very much, and I... I don't want Xixi to come back and find them stolen..."

As the proprietress spoke, her voice became hoarse and choked with emotion.

As a mother, she carried her child for ten months. For Xixi's sake, she learned sign language and paid close attention to Xixi's feelings at all times, fearing that Xixi would be bullied at school because of her physical disability. Her hard work and dedication were no less than those of Mr. Liu, the father.

All her current composure is a facade. She cannot, and must not, break down until the person is found!
Nan Shu pursed her lips, stepped forward, patted the proprietress's shoulder reassuringly, and softened her voice, "Can I go see them? I might need their help."

The proprietress paused in her sobbing and looked up.

"Help? How can I help?"

……

"That's the situation. Now I need your help."

Nan Shu squatted in front of the cockatiel's cage. Two fluffy little rabbits, one white and one gray, pricked up their ears and scratched at the bars, their big red eyes staring at Nan Shu.

"I believe you will do everything in your power to find Xixi and prevent her from getting hurt, right?"

Mr. Liu was not far away. He couldn't hear what Nan Shu was saying, but he knew that Nan Shu was talking. In his eyes, it looked like Nan Shu was talking to a parrot and two rabbits.

Mr. Liu was extremely anxious, but dared not disturb him.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Nan Shu open the cage, and the cockatiel flew out. Nan Shu then picked up two little rabbits.

Mr. Liu was startled.

This parrot, not to mention himself, even his wife isn't very close to it. Only Xixi can keep it in check. If we let it out now, what if it runs away...?

Just as she was about to speak, she saw the parrot fly out of its cage, circle twice in the air, and land on Nan Shu's shoulder.

Mr. Liu: ?
"Boss, you should go back to the branch and wait for news. We will do our best to find Xixi."

Nan Shu said to Boss Liu, and then got into the car with the three little ones.

It's so convenient to have your own car!

“You smell like other birds.”

After the cockatiel got into the car, it dismissively uttered those words and flew to the back seat.

Nan Shu: ...

However, she also understands that birds can sometimes be quite territorial.

Since the 'bounty order' incident, Nan Shu has known that in addition to keeping up with the progress of the case, she must remember to take the initiative to use her "golden touch".

Therefore, the first thing she thought of was the little guys that Xixi was raising.

Police dogs are certainly useful, and they are professionally trained, but when it comes to familiarity with Xixi, cockatiels and these two little guys have an advantage.

soon.

The car stopped on the national highway where Wang Yaqin had said the van had disappeared. Not far away was a small rural town. Seeing so many police cars gathered there, a crowd of people gathered around to watch the spectacle and whisper among themselves.

If you continue straight on the national highway, you'll soon be leaving Hangzhou. There's a market in the town, and every morning villagers from different villages will come to the market to deliver goods, either by tricycle or in minivan.

So Nan Punian had someone ask around, and there were all sorts of answers about minivans. After all, no one would bother to remember what features each minivan had.

The two roads on the left and right are newly paved cement roads. Following them, you can reach various villages. After passing through the villages, you can turn onto another national highway or go directly into the mountains.

"South Team".

As Nan Shu got out of the car, she saw Li Feng walking towards Nan Punian with a pink teddy bear in his hand. Nan Shu recognized it as the one that had been hanging on Xixi's backpack chain in the surveillance footage.

"Where did you find it?"

Nan Punian recognized it at a glance and asked.

"there!"

Li Feng pointed to the left lane, saying, "My colleague saw it in the weeds by the roadside; it rolled down the slope and into the ditch."

Nan Punian looked in that direction.

We only have this many police officers, about seven or eight. If we make the wrong choice, it will not only waste police resources, but more importantly, it will take up time.

He couldn't tell whether this was a clever act of self-rescue by Xixi or a smokescreen by human traffickers. (End of Chapter)
