Chapter 94 Little Sister? The Lost Bell?
"Boss, one of these 'Ten-Ingredient Nourishing Set Meal' and two servings of fried rice with eggs, please."

Nan Shu said to the boss who was as busy as a spinning top.

"okay!"

Nan Punian looked at Nan Shu with a strange look, but Nan Shu didn't notice. It was the busiest time of day, and the shop was already full of people. Nan Shu simply picked up a folding table and found two stools, and started her own street stall.

Nan Punian subconsciously took out a tissue to wipe the table and then the chair. After sitting down, he slowly said, "I don't need it."

"South Team Leader, aren't you hungry?"

Nan Shu was puzzled.

The two of them haven't eaten lunch since noon; they've only been drinking water.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

"Hungry, but..."

Nan Punian paused, then, considering it was a matter of male dignity, said, "I think we can change to a different package."

He said with a stern face, "It's a story of deep-seated bitterness and resentment."

"another?"

Nan Shu glanced at the contents of the set meal: twenty beef skewers, twenty lamb skewers, two lamb kidney skewers, a plate of chives, and a grilled eggplant.

"Isn't there enough to eat?"

She ordered the meal because the portion was large.

“No…” Nan Punian’s lips moved, and after a long while he finally spoke, “I’ve been feeling hot lately.”

Nan Shu, who only then realized what was happening: ...

"It's okay, I'll fix it!"

Nan Shu glanced at the skewers that had already started grilling and rejected Nan Punian's request to change the set meal.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

Eating kebabs wasn't the main point. Nan Shu waved to the little girl not far away, "Little girl, come here."

The little girl looked about six or seven years old, with a round, chubby face like a little apple. She had bright eyes. When she heard Nan Shu call her, she stood still and just looked at Nan Shu with her head tilted to the side.

Nan Shu took out her phone.

"Come here, I'll play games for you, like Honor of Kings."

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over excitedly.

"elder sister."

Her mouth is sweet too.

"So cute." Nan Shu pinched the little girl's cheek and held her chubby little hand. The little girl was well-behaved the whole time, not moving at all, letting Nan Shu do as she pleased.

"What's your name?"

Nan Shu carefully examined the bell in her hand.

The rope is new, it must have been put on recently, but the bell looks quite old, with a layer of oxidized blackish-gray substance on its surface.

Nan Punian also noticed the bell and was taken aback.

"This is……"

"Xinxin."

The little girl stared at Nan Shu's phone on the table. She was clearly a polite child. Although she really wanted to play with it, she didn't dare to grab it without Nan Shu's permission.

"Sweetheart, can you tell your sister where this bell came from? Is it a reward from Mommy and Daddy?"

Nan Shu looked up and met Nan Punian's gaze.

Although the bell is badly oxidized, you can still clearly see the character "聪" (cōng) faintly engraved on it.

Shen Yao did indeed live here.

This bell is the key evidence!
"No, Xin Xin found it!" Xin Xin carefully pulled her hand back as if it were a precious treasure, afraid that Nan Shu would snatch it from her.

Where did you find it?

Nan Shu picked up her phone and started downloading a game right in front of her.

Xin Xin's eyes were glued to her phone. "Home."

"Does Xin Xin live on the third floor?" Nan Shu continued to ask.

She nodded.

Nan Shu looked at Nan Punian, who immediately understood, "I'll go make a phone call."

According to Yang Ruolan and her husband, Shen Yao really liked Congcong. The two of them grew up together since they were little, so if Congcong's bell was lost, Shen Yao would definitely look for it.

At first glance, the rental apartments are not very large, so finding one is not difficult.

But why doesn't Shen Yao look for her?

Or perhaps, when the bell was lost, Shen Yao had already lost the ability to find it?

According to the autopsy report, there were marks on the bones from being cut with a sharp blade, meaning that the murderer dismembered Shen Yao after killing her.

Where were they distributed?
If it's in a rented room, is it possible that some traces are still left?
Nan Punian called back soon after. He glanced at Xin Xin, who was skillfully operating the hero, and his lips twitched.

The little girl's hands were so chubby and small, yet she played games with such skill and grace.

"Li Feng and the others will be here soon, let's eat first."

The barbecue will take a while to arrive, so the fried rice will be served first.

"Ah."

The two of them were starving and silently began to eat.

Occasionally, notification sounds like 'First Blood' and 'Triple Kill' would ring out, which was quite exciting.

The barbecue restaurant is run by a husband and wife, and they are always extremely busy at this time of year. Seeing that someone was taking care of the child, and considering that Nan Shu didn't seem like a bad person, they simply let Nan Shu lead the child around.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, and there was only one skewer of lamb kidneys left, Li Feng, Xu Yunli, and the others arrived.

A police car was parked at the entrance.

"Hey! Team South, lately..."

Li Feng glanced at the lamb kidneys, then his gaze drifted to Nan Punian's kidney area. "He really should get some nourishment."

"piss off!"

Nan Punian tossed him the skewer of lamb kidneys, which Li Feng readily accepted, devouring in one bite. He mumbled a compliment, "Hmm? It tastes really good!"

"Let's go, let's get to work."

Nan Punian kicked him in the butt, walked up to the proprietress, paid the money first, and then took out his police ID. "Police officer, routine check. Could you please come upstairs with us?"

Upon seeing the police arrive, the diners began to chatter and cast curious glances.

The proprietress, who was also Xin Xin's mother, was stunned for a moment and looked at the stall with a troubled expression.

Nan Punian pushed Li Feng forward, saying, "He will help out during this time. Don't worry, he's very efficient."

Li Feng: ?
The proprietress was relieved, took off her apron, and followed behind Nan Punian.

"Officer, what's going on?"

Xin Xin's mother was unsure.

"It's nothing, just a search. Does this whole house belong to your family?"

Nan Punian noticed her nervousness and asked softly.

“Yes, the land was allocated by the village, and we built the house ourselves. It was always rented out before. Xin Xin, her father, and I lived downstairs. Now that Xin Xin has grown up, we thought that no matter how hard things are, we can't let the child suffer. So after the tenant on the third floor moved out, we took it back and lived there ourselves.”

As they were talking, they had already reached the third floor.

Because it was a self-built house, the stairs were narrow and steep, the railings were covered with rust, and the walls were only coated with a thin layer of putty, which had peeled off over time, revealing the gray concrete walls underneath.

The hallway had no windows, so the air didn't circulate and there was a faint musty smell.

Xin Xin's mother opened the door.

The house is not large, about 70 or 80 square meters, with two bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom.

The bathroom is about five or six square meters, with a squat toilet, a yellowish sink, and old-fashioned red tiles.

"Officers, what are you doing...?"

Although the couple was busy, they kept the house very clean and tidy. However, when they saw the group of people enter the house, they went straight into the bathroom, which puzzled Xin Xin's mother.

There's a toilet downstairs... too.
