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

"Officer, please have some mercy! Three groups have come this afternoon. We're here to make a living. We've already said everything we need to say, and we really don't know anything else..."

The receptionist, growing impatient with the questions, couldn't help but grumble. Seeing the two suddenly staring at the guests in the private room, and fearing they would start bombarding the guests with questions like the previous group and ruin business, she quickly spoke up:

"Officers, that couple were big shots, they were guests, not guests from last night..."

"couple?"

Li Feng's expression grew increasingly strange.

But knowing that Nan Shu and the other woman were probably faking it, they didn't expose them. After asking a couple of questions, they followed Xu Yunli to the large private room on the second floor.

When guests arrived at the front desk, the receptionist didn't escort the two people but let them go upstairs on their own.

Since there's no commission whether you bring someone or not, you might as well earn more money.

As for the dead... what does that have to do with him?
They weren't even colleagues.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, was that Xiao Nan just now? To be honest, with her makeup on, I almost didn't recognize her. I thought she was a rich woman out on the street."

I almost couldn't control myself and went up to introduce myself and ask to be taken care of.

Li Feng glanced at the surveillance camera and whispered in a low voice.

Xu Yunli gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything, but if you listened carefully, you could tell that his voice seemed a little hoarse than before.

Li Feng was a chatterbox. After walking for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Luckily, Xiao Nan doesn't usually wear makeup, otherwise I wouldn't be able to 'call her brother' anymore."

Xu Yunli pursed her lips and didn't respond. But as Li Feng pushed open the door to enter the private room, she said, "She's always very pretty."

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

"what?"

Li Feng didn't hear clearly.

Xu Yunli shook his head, stood still, and took out shoe covers and a mask from the inspection kit.

……

As I left Lihao KTV, the last rays of the setting sun still lingered on the horizon, but all the signs along the street were lit up.

Nan Shu stretched and thought about what to eat for dinner. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a woman sitting in the coffee shop diagonally across the street.

Wearing exaggerated eyeshadow, a black vest, and short leather pants, she stared at the coffee in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.

Nan Shu didn't recognize her at first glance, but after seeing her down jacket, she connected the person with Xiao Yu, who was pale and without makeup that afternoon.

With the two little ones around, the portrait matter wasn't so urgent anymore. After thinking for a moment, Nan Shu started walking towards the coffee shop.

Liu Ming was puzzled, but still followed.

There weren't many people in the coffee shop. As they pushed open the door, the wind chimes rang, but they didn't disturb Xiaoyu, who was staring blankly at her coffee.

Nan Shu sat down next to Xiao Yu with her coffee in hand. As the chair moved, Xiao Yu came to her senses and realized that someone was next to her. She was startled and almost jumped off the chair, but when she saw that it was Nan Shu, she sat back down.

"you……"

Xiaoyu looked at Nan Shu, her brows furrowed, her face full of confusion.

Nan Shu then saw Xiao Yu's appearance clearly. Her eyes were red, and it didn't look like she had stayed up all night. It looked more like she had cried a lot and hadn't recovered yet.

Thinking back to the conversation I overheard between the two people in the fire escape…

"You and Zhang Manman are good friends, right?"

Nan Shu spoke up.

Xiaoyu was taken aback, then immediately looked at Nan Shu warily, "Who are you?"

“I have met Zhang Manman’s mother. She is indeed indifferent to Zhang Manman’s death. She may not even bring Zhang Manman’s ashes home after the case is closed.”

Nan Shu didn't answer, but continued.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu's lips trembled, and her eyes reddened again.

Nan Shu sighed inwardly and asked, "Is your salary high now? Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Xiaoyu was taken aback again upon hearing this.

“I think you have good sales skills and you’re quick-witted. With a little guidance, as a salesperson, your annual commission should be no worse than what you earned at Lihao.” Nan Shu wasn’t someone with an excessively compassionate heart.

But she could see that Xiaoyu was struggling, struggling to climb out of the mud, but she probably couldn't break free on her own.

Nan Shu doesn't mind being the one to lend a helping hand.

"I have a friend who's a big boss. He can help you get a referral spot, but how much you earn after that depends on your own efforts."

Liu Ming, who was not far away, couldn't help but twitch his lips as he listened to Nan Shu's rhetoric, which was no different from a scam.

Moreover, this kind of scam is the most basic kind; even children wouldn't believe it.

Only Nan Shu could tell the truth so convincingly.

Rather...

"I am willing!"

Looking into Nan Shu's eyes, Xiao Yu blurted out those three words almost uncontrollably.

After saying that, he belatedly realized something was amiss and awkwardly glanced at Nan Shu, "Um, Miss, what's your name?"

Liu Ming: ...

They really are a pair of people who dare to ask and dare to answer.

Nan Shu also realized what was happening and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"My name is Nan Shu, and I'm currently in Qingshan District..."

"Xiao Nan, the news anchor?!"

Xiaoyu's eyes widened suddenly.

Nan Shu was taken aback, then nodded, "It's me."

But she couldn't help but wonder if the difference between her before and after makeup was really that big.

"It really is you! I've hardly ever seen you with makeup on."

Xiaoyu looked at Nan Shu with sparkling eyes, as if she were looking at an idol.

Nan Shu smiled, holding her coffee cup, glanced at the glass window in front of her, and then touched her cheek with her hand.

"I really don't like it... I always feel like it's not very breathable."

"Me too!"

Xiaoyu said excitedly, her voice rising unconsciously, but after noticing the gazes around her, she coughed lightly, feeling uneasy.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he clenched his fist, looked up at Nan Shu, and said, "Nan Shu, actually, eight people from Feng Ping's group came last night."

Nan Shu looked at her.

Feeling Nan Shu's calm yet encouraging gaze, Xiao Yu's eyes filled with tears, and her voice became hoarse.

“They are a bunch of beasts. Manman actually argued with those people because of me. I was touched, but I didn’t dare to cause trouble for those people.”

The words burst from her strained throat, and Xiaoyu was utterly defeated.

Her best friend stood up for her, which is why she attracted the attention of those people.

She's the one who started it all, and she's the one who should die.

Manager Wang told her to keep quiet and not to say anything she shouldn't, in exchange for a large sum of hush money—200,000 yuan, equivalent to a year's salary.

She was able to pay off the loan and even return to her hometown to buy a small shop.

Others also said that this had nothing to do with her, since she wasn't the one who killed anyone. If she spoke out, not only would she lose the money, but she might also face retaliation.

She was just an ordinary person. If she really died, no one would care. Her family was no different from Manman's family.

Xiaoyu repeatedly used those people's words to soothe her unease.

But she can't forget it. (End of Chapter)
