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

“Something happened at Uncle Zhu’s home, and he flew to the United States right after New Year’s Day.”

"So... Brother Yan Nian, did you not get any rest again last night?"

Perhaps because Nan Yannian answered all her questions, Nan Shu did not experience the awkwardness she had imagined.

in contrast.

It was very harmonious and warm.

"Hmm... I'm staying by Grandpa's bedside now." Nan Yannian didn't know why, but hearing the girl's obviously caring words, a strong sense of fatigue welled up inside him, and his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Before this, he had planned to go to the company for a meeting after his grandfather's condition stabilized to deal with the matters that had not been finished the night before.

But now, all he wanted was to hear Nan Shu's voice and then fall into a deep sleep...

"Is the caregiver here? If you're too tired, Brother Yan Nian, you should rest for a while. The caregivers are all professionals, so you don't need to worry too much. You should also take good care of yourself."

Nan Yan gave a soft "hmm," and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.

"besides……"

Nan Shu drove the car into the residential area, paused, and although she didn't know what Nan Yannian's purpose was in helping her... "Brother Yannian, thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

Nan Yannian slightly opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling above him, and a clear look flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for finding someone to help me find the person behind the rumors."

Nan Shu sincerely thanked her.

"You're welcome. You're one of Douyu's rising stars in recent times, with great potential. Douyu also has plans to focus on developing you... Clarifying the rumors can also reduce some of the investment costs."

"So that's what it is..."

No!

Nan Yannian couldn't discern the emotions in the girl's words and subconsciously retorted in his mind.

But if not, then why?

A friend of a friend, a brother's friend... that's all.

Was Nan Yannian some kind of great philanthropist?
However, many people criticize him, calling him a heartless and exploitative businessman.

Nan Yannian had no other way to explain, so he could only come up with this excuse.

"Anyway, thank you very much, Brother Yannian. I've taken care of the matter, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"Um…"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Nan Yannian raised his hand to shield his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Nan Shu didn't think much of it. Whatever the reason, Nan Yannian had helped her, and she was grateful.

"I hope Grandpa Nan stays safe and healthy..."

Nan Shu murmured softly.

She only realized after dying once that many things are not so important in the face of life and death.

With a sigh, Nan Shu composed herself, parked the car, and was about to get out when her phone rang again. It was Li Feng calling.

Nan Shu: ?
"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

"Ugh!!! You jinx!!!"

Li Feng's frantic voice almost burst out of the receiver.

Nan Shu: ...

"Come back quickly, there's a case."

When Nan Shu drove to Kangjia Village, it was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was gloomy, and a large patch of dark clouds hung in the distance, as if it were about to rain at any moment.

Outside the abandoned factory, villagers from Kangjia Village stood around the yellow warning line, whispering among themselves as they looked at the wide-open factory gates.

When a child tried to join in the adults' discussion, their ears were covered and they were carried home by their parents.

Nan Shu parked the car and got out.

Kangjia Village is located in the northern suburbs.

Criminal cases in both Qingshan District and Beicheng District fall under the jurisdiction of the Qingshan Branch.

The police officers from the local criminal investigation team didn't recognize Nan Shu. Just as they were about to stop her as she approached, Li Feng appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile, "We're all on the same side."

As he spoke, he pulled up the safety line and let Nan Shu crawl in.

Nan Shu nodded politely to the police officer as a greeting, then followed Li Feng into the factory and asked, "When was it discovered?"

"Not long ago, about half an hour before I called you."

The factory was originally supposed to be a pharmaceutical factory. You could vaguely see the words "Yueyue Shu, Height-Growing Calcium Tablets" written in red paint on the wall. Discarded and moldy cardboard boxes were piled up in the corner, and there was a faint musty smell in the air.

The factory wasn't big; it was more like a small workshop. The corrugated iron roof had several large holes, and there were puddles of water on the ground.

But compared to the musty smell, the stench of a corpse is much stronger.

Nan Shu looked toward the source of the smell.

The trace evidence team, wearing masks, was collecting various traces from the surrounding area. Xu Yunli and Brother Wang had also arrived at the scene, fully equipped, waiting for the trace evidence team to explore the area before approaching the body.

The South team took leave, and Wang Yaqin was the one who went to the scene this time.

She was standing about five meters away from the body, talking to a man who looked to be about forty years old, dressed in a dark blue cotton coat and wearing a black woolen hat, and who resembled a village chief.

Nan Shu was too far away to see the corpse clearly. She could only make out that it seemed to be a brand new cotton quilt, inside which was wrapped something that looked like a human.

There was a charred black spot on the cotton quilt, surrounded by some white powder, appearing as if it had been sprayed out.

Li Feng briefly recounted to Nan Shu the process of discovering the body.

It turns out that all of this started when the village children set off fireworks.

Unlike universities in Hangzhou, which start their winter break late, primary schools generally start their winter break early. Since the adults in the village still have to work, the children often gather together to set off fireworks and play with firecrackers.

There is a ban on fireworks in the city, but not in the villages.

Today, right after lunch, the children took the fireworks their parents had bought and went to play with them near the factory.

among them.

A rocket malfunctioned, veered off course, and flew directly into the factory through a hole in the roof.

This factory has been abandoned for quite some time, longer than the oldest child in the family. The children often run inside to play hide-and-seek.

There wasn't much inside, just some old cardboard boxes that even scrap collectors wouldn't take.

However, to everyone's surprise, white smoke began to billow out of the room shortly afterward, as if it were on fire.

This terrified the children. A fire is no small matter, especially last autumn during the harvest season when Erdan from next door set off a firecracker that burned the straw in the field. He got a beating when he got home.

That night, Erdan's heart-wrenching cries left a deep impression on all the children in the village.

The children were so frightened that they stood there in shock. Only one of the older children snapped out of it and ran home to find an adult.

The adults were shocked. Although the factory was abandoned, they heard that the owner was still around. The gate was locked, and even if there was a dog hole nearby that they could crawl through, it was a different matter.

It's understandable that children don't know any better if they go in to play, but if adults go in and start to complain, it's considered trespassing, which is illegal!

As the smoke grew thicker, the adults quickly called the police. There was a police station at the village entrance, and the officers arrived at the scene first. Through the crack in the door, they saw that what was burning seemed to be a bulging object, and there was no possibility that it would spread further. After discussing it, they called the fire department to stop coming.

Twist the chain, spray with a fire extinguisher, and the fire is out. (End of Chapter)
