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

Staff members approached the two and reminded them that it was time to board.

Nan Pu gave a soft "hmm," indicating that he had also thought of that.

According to the interpretation of the Iron Tree Hell, only those who sow discord among family members, incite discord between fathers and sons, brothers, sisters, or husbands and wives will suffer this punishment in the mortal world.

and so.

The murderer is very likely to have had a very close relationship with Gao Wensheng and his wife.

But their only child died twenty years ago...

After much deliberation, my thoughts eventually returned to the starting point.

"Let's go, let's board the plane first."

"Ah."

Nan Shu nodded.

The plane flew over the city at night.

Nan Punian covered Nan Shu with a blanket, saying, "Rest for a while, I'll call you when we get there."

Nan Shu was already quite full and drowsy. Upon hearing this, she nodded, adjusted to a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Nan Punian turned his head to look at her, his eyes gentle.

……

Under the cover of night, the two returned to the detachment at around 3 a.m.

The lights in the main office were still on.

The sound of weeping could be heard from the interrogation room.

Li Feng, pinching his brow, pushed open the door, intending to go out for a drink of water and clear his head. He was met with Nan Punian and Nan Shu walking towards him. After a moment of surprise, his eyes lit up.
"Team Leader Nan, Xiao Nan!"

Nan Punian paused, peering through the crack in the door. He could only see a woman's back, and judging from her posture, she seemed to be holding a child in her arms.

"what's the situation?"

"Liao Congren's wife and youngest son..."

Li Feng closed the door and lowered his voice.

Liao Congren and his wife Pei Jia have two sons. Their eldest son is a senior in high school and returned to school at 6 a.m. on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to prepare for the college entrance examination. Their younger son is three years old and was born after the two-child policy was implemented. He has not yet started kindergarten.

Upon hearing the devastating news, Pei Jia rushed to the branch office with her youngest son and stayed in the interrogation room, seemingly determined not to return until she received a result.

But it’s understandable.

Since marrying Liao Congren, Pei Jia has become a full-time housewife, and the whole family lives on Liao Congren's salary alone.

According to their investigation, after Gaosheng Industrial declared bankruptcy, Liao Congren joined Nanshi Construction and became the head of the logistics department, responsible for the procurement of various office documents and supplies, as well as air conditioners and mobile insulation panels for various construction projects.

It's a job with a low fixed salary, but you can make a lot of extra money.

If one were unaware of the intricacies involved, they might even praise Nan Jianye for his entrepreneurial compassion in taking in unemployed workers from Gaosheng Industrial.

But now, three murders have occurred in succession, and the victims are all related to Gaosheng Industrial, which makes people wonder.

It's important to understand that twenty years ago, although Liao Congren was Gao Wensheng's driver and earned a higher salary than the average driver, he still couldn't afford to buy an apartment in downtown Hangzhou outright.

But Liao Congren actually did it.

Not long after Gaosheng Industrial went bankrupt, he bought the house outright and then got married and had children.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

just.

Twenty years have passed, and there's no way to investigate now, but what is certain is that the person who killed Liao Congren is the same person who committed the previous two murders!
Nan Punian looked away.

"Let's go, let's have a meeting first."

"okay!"

……

In the conference room, the projector was working tirelessly.

Perhaps because of Nan Punian's return, even as dawn was breaking, Li Feng and the others felt no sleepiness whatsoever, each of them as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Nan Punian had already reviewed the case details and the scene investigation on the plane.

The investigation quickly focused on four key areas: First, continue searching for Liao Congren's car and determining its route; second, interviewing nearby villagers to see if anyone had seen any suspicious persons or vehicles; third, determining when the surveillance system was hacked and seeing if any clues could be found; and fourth, increasing protection for Nan Jianye.

As expected, the killer's next target is very likely to be Nan Jianye, the biggest beneficiary of the bankruptcy of Gaosheng Industrial.

The meeting was brief and concise.

Nan Punian assigned tasks based on the length of everyone's rest and work hours, and those who worked continuously for more than ten hours were forced to rest.

After the meeting, those who needed to rest went to rest, while those who were still in their hometowns were notified to return to work.

"what!"

Nan Shu sat in the corner, propping her face up with her hand, and yawned again. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt drowsy.

"The thirteenth."

Li Feng silently counted; in less than twenty minutes of the meeting, Nan Shu had already yawned thirteen times. It had even made him sleepy.

He had just drunk a cup of coffee half an hour ago.

"Ok?"

Nan Shu squinted at him, looking at him with suspicion, "What thirteen?"

His tone was full of weariness.

"It's nothing, silly child, go to sleep."

Li Feng raised his hand and touched her head from a distance.

Nan Shu: "Oh."

next second.

With a 'thud,' Nan Shu's head rested on the table; she had fallen asleep.

Li Feng: ...

Li Feng's lips twitched. Just as he was hesitating whether to wake her up and let her go back to sleep, a shadow fell in front of him.

Li Feng paused for a moment, then turned his head.

"South Team..."

Nan Punian had somehow acquired a folding bed and had a thick blanket draped over his shoulder.

The air conditioning was on in the meeting room, so the temperature wasn't low, and a thick blanket was enough.

Nan Punian made the bed, walked to Nan Shu's side, and gently nudged her shoulder, "Xiao Shu."

The tone was unusually gentle.

Li Feng listened from the side, and goosebumps rose on his arms.

Nan Shu didn't respond after being called several times. Instead, her breathing became heavier. Nan Punian was both amused and distressed. After thinking for a moment, he simply bent down and picked her up.

Li Feng: ?!

Nan Punian carried her to the folding bed, covered her with a blanket to make sure she wouldn't catch a cold, and then turned around to meet Li Feng's wide-eyed stare.

"Team Leader Nan, you...you...you and Xiao Shu, you..."

Li Feng was shocked.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

"..."

Nan Punian immediately understood and his face darkened. "No, don't overthink it."

Li Feng: "Okay, okay! I know, I understand. Don't worry, Captain Nan, I will absolutely not tell anyone!"

Li Feng raised four fingers to swear.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

……

Nan Shu was woken up by hunger.

When I opened my eyes, it was already bright daylight, and the sun seemed to be setting in the west.

Nan Shu blinked, hugged the blanket and slowly sat up. She looked at the folding bed and then at the conference room, and her thoughts from last night gradually returned.

but……

She vaguely remembered that there didn't seem to be any folding beds in the conference room.

Just as I was wondering, the meeting room door was pushed open from the outside.

Li Feng walked in carrying a boxed lunch. Seeing Nan Shu's dazed look, he smiled.

"Hey, Xiao Nan, you're finally awake. Get up, wash up, and have something to eat. This is food that Captain Nan specifically asked me to bring for you."

Nan Shu wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Li Feng seemed to emphasize the words "Team Leader Nan" when he said them.

Nan Shu gave him a strange look, feeling that something was off about Li Feng.

"what time is it now?"

It's almost 3 p.m.

No wonder she felt so hungry. Nan Shu stood up, stretched her limbs, and after a quick wash, returned to the conference room.

The lunchbox was still warm when I opened it.

Nan Shu ate her meal while checking WeChat messages; all the dishes were her favorites.

Nan Shu paused when she saw Nan Sinian's message.

I was just about to reply.

A ghostly, eerie voice sounded in my ear.

"Xiao Nan, what do you think of Team Nan?" (End of Chapter)
