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

Chapter 74 Did I hear wrong? Meeting someone online? Was it intentional?
Nan Punian's expression froze.

"can."

The projection screen was put down again before it was even retracted, and Nan Punian turned the volume up to the maximum so that Nan Shu could hear it more clearly.

"right here."

Nan Shu called a halt.

Nan Punian quickly pressed pause, the progress bar almost reaching the end. If he remembered correctly, the next scene was that person's sinister smile, and then the video ended.

"Xiao Shu, what did you hear?"

Nan Punian asked, looking at Xu Yunli with a questioning gaze.

Xu Yunli shook his head; he hadn't heard anything either.

The two looked at Nan Shu again.

"A very faint humming sound."

Nan Shu frowned, dragged the progress bar, played it again, and paused it. "It's right here, didn't you hear me?"

The two shook their heads.

"Could I have misheard?" Nan Shu was starting to doubt herself.

The voice was too faint, so Nan Shu did not interrupt during the meeting.

"will not."

Xu Yunli said confidently, "Since you can understand animal speech, it means that your hearing is very likely to be much more acute than that of ordinary people, and you can catch some sounds that ordinary people cannot hear."

"Yes, Xiaoshu, that's what I think too."

Nan Punian asked, "Can you tell whether it's a person or an animal?"

Nan Shu shook her head.

The sound was too faint.

"It's okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Nan Punian patted Nan Shu's shoulder when he saw her serious expression and bitter look.

"We're not just here to freeload."

"Um…"

Nan Shu nodded, but her tightly furrowed brows did not relax. She was worried about something else, and Nan Punian must be worried about the same thing.

—Will he commit another crime before we find that person?
In this tense atmosphere, the two days passed in the blink of an eye.

fortunately.

No new murders have been reported so far.

But no one dared to relax, and Nan Shu also joined the team monitoring the videos.

The subway has a large passenger flow, and Cao Zhang is a repeat offender. In the crowd, he is like an eel in a pond, extremely slippery.

If you're not careful, you could easily lose sight of it.

Fortunately.

The surveillance coverage was quite comprehensive. On the first day, Cao Zhang's route was drawn up, and on the second day, three suspects were identified.

According to Cao Zhang's description, the USB drive was stolen from a man's bag. Following this lead, the task force quickly identified three men who might be suspects.

One of them was a tourist who had traveled from the south of Hangzhou to Hangzhou and had just returned to the south of the city yesterday after finishing his trip.

Nan Punian immediately called the criminal investigation team in Nancheng and asked for their help in the investigation. They eventually found out that the tourist was a tobacco bureau manager with a simple background who lived with his wife and parents.

The properties under their names have all been checked, and the decoration style does not match the house in the video. Moreover, the couple's child is only one year old, and the male tourist goes home after get off work every day, living a very simple life. He simply did not have the time to commit the crime, so he was ruled out as a suspect.

The other two individuals are Wang An and Liu Yu, both locals from Hangzhou. Further details are still being investigated.

meeting room.

Nan Shu yawned lazily, with the takeout container she hadn't had time to throw away beside her.

She raised her hand to rub her sore eyes, and a few red veins appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.

Today she got to see what other police departments do. In her previous life, she spent most of her time around the autopsy table and knew that other people also had a lot of work, but she didn't expect it to be so detailed and tedious.

The phone on the desktop vibrated twice.

She picked it up; it was a message from Wei Yue, but Nan Shu still habitually called him "Brother Fish Eater."

She was afraid that if one day she got used to the name 'Wei Yue' and accidentally called it out during a live stream, she might actually become famous.

It's a hotel location, and coincidentally, it's the same five-star hotel that the South team booked for her last time.

Wei Yue: [Xiao Shu, I've arrived in Hangzhou. Would you like to meet me?]

Nan Shu glanced at the wall clock; it was just past eight. She'd been so engrossed in the case these past two days that she'd completely forgotten about Wei Yue's trip to Hangzhou. Nan Shu: [Okay, I'll come find you.]

Wei Yue replied very quickly.

Wei Yue: [Okay, let me know when you're almost there, and I'll have Sister Liu come down to meet you.]

Sister Liu seems to be Wei Yue's agent.

Nan Shu: [Okay]

After cleaning up the trash and leaving the Criminal Investigation Division, she was about to hail a taxi when a low-profile SUV pulled up in front of her.

The window rolls down.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, are you off work too?"

Currently, Xu Yunli is not needed for this case; he seems to have been busy with matters related to the forensic appraisal institute these past few days.

"Um, are you going back? I'll take you; it's too late to get a taxi now."

Eight o'clock... Is that too late?
But why refuse something for free?

Nan Shu quickly opened the passenger door and got in. "Then I'll have to trouble forensic doctor Xu. But I'm not going home now, I'm going to the Hilton Hotel." The hotel is right next to the popular residential area, very close and on the way.

Xu Yunli paused, turning the steering wheel, and glanced at her impassively. "Hotel?"

"Yeah, I'm going to see a friend." To be precise, it should be an online friend.

However, Nan Shu felt that if she told the truth, Xu Yunli would most likely not send her there, and she might even get a lecture on safety.

"A male friend?"

Xu Yunli turned the steering wheel around and asked casually.

"Um……"

For some reason, Nan Shu felt inexplicably guilty.

Xu Yunli clenched her fists. "Have you downloaded the anti-fraud app?"

Nan Shu: ...

"It's over, it's over."

Nan Shu lowered her head, almost burying it in her neck, and turned her head to look out the window. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly started pecking at rice like a chick.

"Hmm... Will it be a long time? I'll wait for you downstairs."

Xu Yunli spoke calmly, but his words carried an undeniable air of authority.

"It shouldn't take long... Forensic Doctor Xu, no need. I can take a taxi home myself. You've worked all day, so I won't trouble you."

Nan Shu imagined herself going into the hotel to see Wei Yue, while Xu Yunli waited alone in the car downstairs.

I always feel like something is weird.

"okay."

Xu Yunli did not insist any further, and neither of them spoke until the car stopped in front of the Hilton.

Nan Shu got out of the car. "Thank you, Forensic Doctor Xu. I'll go upstairs now."

She spotted Sister Liu, who was wearing a mask and carrying a large tote bag. Sister Liu also saw her and seemed to recognize Nan Shu. Her eyes lit up and she quickly walked towards her.

Xu Yunli glanced at Sister Liu and hummed in agreement. "Be careful."

He said this only after Sister Liu came closer.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

Was Xu Yunli doing this on purpose?

Nan Shu: ...

"it is good."

Xu Yunli drove away. Sister Liu pulled down her mask, revealing a friendly smile, and subtly sized up Nan Shu.

Unexpectedly, the little girl is even more beautiful in person than on camera.

"Miss Nan, Mr. Wei is already waiting for you upstairs."

"it is good."

Nan Shu nodded and followed Sister Liu into the hotel.

Neither of them noticed that a figure moved in the flower bushes not far away.
