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

[Has this guy never watched any crime or mystery films? This water tower place...tsk, it's hard to say.]

I recall a real-life case where a body was hidden inside a water tower. For a period of time, the residents were completely unaware and continued to use the water from the tower for bathing and drinking. It wasn't until someone found a hair in their mung bean soup that they discovered the problem, called the police, and found the body…

[Don't tell me, I've heard of this case too. But sister, look at this guy's face. If we keep talking, he's probably going to throw up.]

[Then he vomited and flushed, using water that had been used to soak the corpse.]

Are you guys some kind of devils?

The boy had obviously seen these comments and thought about his teddy bear's unusual behavior.

I'm not as determined as I was at the beginning.

He was thinking: That water tower does look tall, but there's a ladder next to it, isn't there? The water tower lid is indeed very well sealed, requiring a lot of force to open, but it's not impossible to open it...

Looking at the boy's face, which was covered in green, white, purple, and black marks, Nan Shu knew that he was probably already imagining a novel.

He coughed lightly and said, "Why don't you call the police?"

Nan Shu suggested.

If there is indeed a problem with the water quality, you can call the police to contact the nearest police station to have officers come and check.

If it's just a false alarm, that's fine. But if there really is a problem, it can be detected in time and resolved sooner.

The boy's face turned pale again.

"Okay, okay... I'll call the police right away."

The boy reached for his phone, only to find he was on a call with Nan Shu. He didn't want to hang up; he was... scared.

Nan Shu saw through his thoughts and said, "Would you mind sending me your home address via private message? I can help you report it to the police."

The boy's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded vigorously.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone, opened the backend, and decisively sent his home address to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu glanced at the address and found that the place was quite close to her, within half an hour's drive, at the junction of the old and new city areas.

Nan Shu directly copied the address and gave it to her third brother.

She knew his account was still active.

After receiving the message, Nan Punian glanced at it and immediately called the head of the police station near the boy's home.

Then he sent an OK emoji to his younger sister.

"I've already contacted my colleagues, they should be here soon. Don't be afraid, and don't overthink it..."

Nan Shu put down her phone and saw that the boy was still detached, looking quite upset as if he was thinking about something. She spoke up to comfort him.

"Even if there really is something wrong, you still have a water purifier at home."

Hearing this, the boy didn't seem to feel comforted at all; instead, he looked even more miserable, as if he was about to cry.

"But when the water purifier staff recommended a complete set, I thought the price was a bit expensive, so I refused and only installed it in the kitchen."

In other words, if something really did happen, then during this period he used contaminated water to wash his hands, use the toilet, and take a shower.

Thinking about this, he was on the verge of a breakdown.

He doesn't know if it's just psychological, but he feels like something's wrong all over his body. It seems like everything is very itchy, and the itch is coming from deep within his skin, making him really want to take a shower.

But now I can't wash it.

The audience noticed the boy's state and stopped teasing him.

[If I put myself in their shoes, I would completely break down.]

I've already started looking at water purifiers.

How can this not be considered a sales promotion? Don't even mention it, I just placed an order, it should be installed tomorrow.

Fortunately, the boy didn't have to wait long; less than fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on his door.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, got up to open the door, and didn't forget to pick up his phone.

open the door.

They were indeed two police officers in uniform.

The two gave a brief self-introduction, followed by property management staff. "It's too late now, and the water plant staff are quite far away and on their way. Let's go up and check first."

The boy felt a great sense of security as he listened to the police officer, and nodded repeatedly.

"That…"

After a moment's hesitation, the boy said, "I think I'll go with you guys."

He was more interested in knowing the truth than the fear of the unknown.

Even if the truth might not be something everyone can accept.

The police officer nodded.

The four of them took the elevator together and went to the top floor.

The boy was very considerate of the camera. Although he didn't say a word the whole time, he made sure to give Nan Shu a good view so that she could see the house's design clearly.

The building where the boy lived was not short, with eight floors in total, and there was one more floor above the top floor to reach the rooftop.

Because it's an old residential area built 20 or 30 years ago, there are no elevators installed.

As the residents grew older, they decided to install an elevator outside the building.

The four of them took the elevator to the eighth floor, walked through a long corridor, and finally arrived at the staircase leading to the top floor.

There is a locked iron door between the stairs and the rooftop.

Is it like this usually?

One of the police officers reached out and removed the lock.

The lock is loosely attached to the door; it can be easily removed with a gentle pull.

The police officer looked at the property management staff.

The property management staff shrank back and whispered, "It's not Chinese New Year, everyone's thinking of going up to the roof to air out their blankets, so they haven't locked them..."

"We're also thinking about the homeowners, aren't we?"

The police officer frowned.

"Remember to lock it afterwards."

No one died this time. If someone had, the question of whether or not to lock the door could have dragged on for a long time.

The property management staff nodded hurriedly.

open the door.

There were indeed quite a few floor-standing clothes racks placed on the rooftop.

Some residents' clothes that hadn't dried were still hanging on the rack.

The four of them walked around the clothes rack and came to the vicinity of the water tower.

The boy held up his phone to show Nan Shu and the viewers in the live stream what the water tower looked like.

It is indeed very high.

One of the more agile police officers climbed the ladder, while his colleagues below helped him by shining a flashlight.

Soon, the police officers climbed to the top.

He had found out beforehand how the water tower cover was opened. He took the flashlight out of his mouth and swept it over the cover, only to discover that the sealing clips that the water tower staff said should have been tightly fastened had somehow come loose.

The police officer immediately realized something was wrong.

Point the body camera at the water tower and slowly open the cover.

This process was not simple. It took the police officers a full twenty minutes to loosen all the buckles, grip the handle tightly, and then exert a sudden force.

The lid popped open with a distinct creaking sound.

The police officers quickly used flashlights to scan the area below.

I spotted the gray object floating on the surface of the water tower at a glance.

He gasped sharply. (End of Chapter)
