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

Nan Shu didn't hear Xiao Yu say a word until their footsteps disappeared into the fire escape.

Nan Shu rubbed her phone, then returned to the private room. Liu Ming was still singing. Seeing her come in, he simply played the original version, walked over to her, and whispered, "So? Did you find anything?"

"I'd say so."

Nan Shu wasn't sure either. She opened WeChat, clicked on Xiao Yu's profile picture, and saw that her Moments were set to be visible for the past three months.

There are only three visible posts in total.

Nan Shu looked at the most recent post. A week ago was Xiao Yu's birthday. She posted a nine-grid photo, and the one in the middle was a birthday cake. The cake wasn't very big and looked more like something she had made herself.

The other eight photos are all of Xiaoyu and Zhang Manman together, one of which even shows them face to face.

Thinking of their conversation just now, Nan Shu's almond-shaped eyes narrowed.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Liu Ming howled for almost another hour before the two of them finally left the private room.

Nan Shu thought for a moment, then turned and headed towards the fire escape.

Liu Ming hurriedly followed.

"Brother Liu, can you tell if there are any emergency exits or similar structures here?"

Nan Shu asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming immediately reached out and touched the wall as he looked down, occasionally tapping it lightly. The movements were not large.

Soon, Liu Ming's hand stopped on the waist-high tiles by the window on the second floor.

He tapped it hard, and a very obvious hollow sound was heard.

Liu Ming took out a small folding knife from his pocket and tried to pry along the edge, but couldn't get it open.

"It should be able to be opened from the inside."

Liu Ming was able to be hired by Nan Yannian, which naturally means he has the ability.

Having seen a lot, Liu Ming was used to these kinds of escape routes. Based on what he had overheard about the case yesterday, he speculated, "That person probably escaped through this."

Nan Shu responded softly; she thought so too.

"Let's go see if there's any other back door or something."

The two walked down to the first floor and saw an iron door on the side, at the bottom of the stairs, blocking the view. If you didn't look carefully, you might not have noticed it.

Liu Ming bent down and crawled inside, then tried pushing the iron door open with a creak.

Light streamed in, carrying a hint of the setting sun's glow. Liu Ming's eyes lit up immediately, and with a slight push, the door opened.

The two went out through the iron gate, which led to the back door of the KTV and connected to a long alley.

Nan Shu carefully studied the KTV's fire safety diagram. The KTV did indeed have a back door, but the one in front of her was not shown on the diagram.

Nan Shu stood in the alley and looked back at the building in front of her. The walls were covered with air conditioners, but there wasn't a single window.

There was a camera hanging on the wall on the third floor to the left. Nan Shu knew that it was probably just for show, or if it wasn't, it had probably been destroyed long ago.

Turning her gaze away, Nan Shu walked around the alley again, turning left and right, and found that the alley was indeed interconnected, with an old residential area behind it. She could come out from any road, and for a moment she really couldn't be sure which road the other party had escaped from.

However, the 'eighth person's' route of action has been determined. Nan Shu walked around and returned to the iron gate, intending to leave through the main gate. The show must continue.

Liu Ming opened the iron gate and turned to let Nan Shu go in first, but saw that Nan Shu did not move.

"what happened?"

Liu Ming was puzzled.

Following the gaze, one could see that Nan Shu was staring intently at a small hole in the wall where the plaster had peeled off, revealing the red brick underneath.

Nan Shu glanced at Liu Ming, then looked around before turning her gaze back to the cave.

The sound came from inside the cave.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you asleep?"

As the loud, boisterous female voice rang out, Nan Shu inexplicably conjured up an image of a loving mother holding a feather duster, standing by her son's bedside, 'coaxing' him to sleep.

"Mom, stop, stop smoking! I can't sleep! It's so noisy, people are walking around, I can't sleep, waaaaah!"

This time it was a boy's voice, sounding like a seven or eight-year-old child, humming and whimpering when he spoke, but once he started crying, it was an ear-piercing, demonic sound. It was comparable to Liu Ming singing.

Nan Shu picked at her ear and continued listening.

really.

When they heard their own little brat start crying, the loud, boisterous scolding stopped, and they started yelling at the outside world instead.

"That's right. They're usually quiet, but these past two days they've been making a racket day and night. Are these people crazy?!"

As he spoke, he seemed to tug at the wall.

Nan Shu, one of the people in 'this group': ...

Being scolded by a small animal for the first time... Nan Shu touched her nose.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out, bent his fingers, and tapped on the wall.

The loud chatter stopped abruptly.

"Um, excuse me, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

Liu Ming was still puzzled when he heard Nan Shu talking to herself in front of the wall, and his gaze towards Nan Shu became increasingly strange.

He knew that Nan Shu could understand animal speech and had even watched her live streams, but deep down, he was still somewhat skeptical.

But now...

Liu Ming practically stared a hole through the wall, but he still couldn't see any ants or spiders on it.

Who is Nan Shu talking to?

It just so happens.

A sudden gust of cool wind rose, and a chill ran from Liu Mingtian's ankles straight to the top of his head, raising goosebumps all over his body.

Liu Ming rubbed his arms, wondering if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Nan Shu didn't pay attention to Liu Ming.

She is waiting.

After those words were spoken, there was no sound from inside the wall. After about three or four minutes, a timid boy's voice rang out.

"Mom! Was that person talking to us?"

"Shut up! Don't say a word!"

The woman's voice was trembling.

He was obviously very frightened.

Nan Shu was both amused and exasperated. She knocked on the wall again. "Sorry, I startled you. I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to ask you about something."

To this day, Nan Shu still doesn't know what the animals inside the wall are.

"Mom, that human said she meant no harm and wasn't there to capture us."

"Shut up. Bad people don't admit they're bad. These people are wicked. They want to eat us and cook us. Once you get out, they'll net you and turn you into dried meat."

The boy's voice was so frightened that he dared not speak.

Eat them, boil them, dry them?
Nan Shu searched her mind for the corresponding animal.

"No, I just wanted to ask if you heard any noises last night? Did anyone come in or out of here? Did you see what that person looked like?"

She understood the animals' wariness.

And I'm glad they're vigilant; if they were easily tricked, that would be something to worry about.

Those who are easily fooled don't live long.

"Mom, is she asking about that man who walks with a waddling gait and smells terrible?"

"Shut up, Little Tiger!"

"But this person's voice is so gentle, completely different from yours, Mom."

"What do you know? This is all a lie to a little brat like you. You... Little Tiger, come back!!!" (End of Chapter)
