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

Chapter 109 You try hitting me? Trust her?
"No…"

Nan Shu was puzzled.

“Xiao Shu…” Nan Punian raised his hands, looked up at the sky, and looked helpless.

"Lili said, you smell bad."

Nan Shu said honestly.

"Smelly?"

Nan Punian frowned. A body odor? He hadn't sweated much!

I simply took off my coat and took a deep breath. It smelled entirely of laundry detergent, and if you smelled it closely, you could faintly detect a hint of sweat, but it wasn't strong.

"Lili, where does he smell?"

Nan Shu didn't smell anything either, and asked the little guy in confusion.

Does this mean that animals smell different scents than humans?

The little guy didn't say anything, but flapped its wings and flew up. Then, it flew to Nan Punian's waist with a look of disgust, pecked at him, and then flew back to Nan Shu's fingertip.

"That smells bad, and it's naughty."

Nan Punian was taken aback.

He lifted the hem of his jacket, revealing a pistol tucked into his waistband, which he always carried with him on missions.

Most people wouldn't notice it at all if they didn't look closely, but this little guy found it right away?

Is it because of... the smell of gunpowder?

Nan Punian had fired a gun. While chasing a murderer who had committed multiple murders in various locations, he fired three shots, the last of which hit the man in the head.

During that time, a faint smell of gunpowder lingered in my palm. As for the gun, I couldn't smell it unless I got very close. However, it's possible that birds have a sensitive sense of smell and perceive different smells than humans, which is why they said it smelled bad.

but……

If it's the first time smelling it, at most you'd think it smells bad and dislike it, it shouldn't be considered smelly, right? And judging from this little guy's reaction, it seems like this isn't the first time he's smelled this scent...

Thinking of this, Nan Punian looked at Nan Shu and shared his guess.

"I remember the old man once said that for a while, he often heard a 'bang bang bang' sound..."

Nan Shu paused, then asked the little one, "Lili, is this the first time you've smelled this stinky thing? Have you smelled it before?"

"I smelled it! Sparrow's parents, aunts, uncles, and grandfathers were all killed by this stinky thing! Stinky, go away, go away!"

The little guy jumped twice toward Nan Shu, trying to get away from Nan Punian.

Nan Shu's expression immediately turned serious.

Shoot a bird?
If she remembered correctly, it seemed that the Great Xia Kingdom had banned guns forty years ago…

"Does the oriole remember when she first saw it? Has she seen anything like this smelly thing recently?"

Nan Shu continued to ask.

"The fruit has grown two or three times before. Now it doesn't have that smelly stuff anymore, but it has those little beads that hurt when they hit you."

The little oriole's voice was tinged with grievance. It didn't understand why these people wanted to kill them, since they hadn't even defecated on their heads.

Nan Shu gently patted its little head and relayed Lili's words to Nan Punian.

Upon hearing this, Nan Punian's expression instantly turned serious.

The fruit grew two or three times... For the oriole, there might not be a concept of birds, two or three times means probably two or three years.

This occurred before Liujia Village was selected as a village to be lifted out of poverty.

After that, in order to avoid being discovered, they stopped shooting birds. So... what about the gun?
Although it was most likely a hunting rifle he had made himself, Nan Punian couldn't bear to think that it might be lying quietly in someone's home right now, and that it might be taken out and used to take a life at some unknown moment in the future.

Of course, it's also possible that it will remain hidden until it can no longer be used, but in any case, it is a potential hidden danger.

"Lili, shall I go with you to find Queque by myself?"

Seeing Nan Punian looking solemnly at the village below the mountain, Nan Shu did not disturb his thoughts, but turned to ask Lili.

The little guy nodded, "Okay, okay."

Nan Shu told Nan Punian about her decision, and he frowned in disapproval, "Xiao Shu, it's too dangerous."

He hadn't forgotten how weak Nan Shu was. Although it wasn't the season for snakes and insects, what if something happened?
“Team Leader Nan, I have another theory that I want to confirm myself. Don’t worry, I will definitely be careful. Besides, Lili and the others will protect me.”

As if understanding Nan Shu's words, Lili raised her little head and hummed twice at Nan Punian.

Nan Pu Nian: ...

"Can…"

Nan Punian was still worried. After all, Nan Shu was not a formal public official. She had not sworn an oath under the police badge and had no obligation to take such a risk.

Most importantly, Nan Punian had a secret urge to protect Nan Shu. It had nothing to do with romantic love. He just felt that the girl had suffered so much before, and now that things were finally a little better, he wanted her future to be sweet, peaceful, and healthy.

"South Team".

Nan Shu interrupted him, "Try hitting me."

Nanpu Nian: ?

"Xiao Shu..."

Nan Punian hesitated and was puzzled.

"Don't worry about it or ask any questions, just make the first move."

Nan Shu's tone became more agitated. Couldn't she give back the decisive and straightforward Captain Nan from before?
Nan Pu Nian: ...

Nan Punian couldn't resist Nan Shu's insistence, so he finally made a move, using three-tenths of his strength. Then, with a dizzying spin, he was pinned down by Nan Shu's backhand.

Nanpu Nian: ?

Even three-tenths of his strength is impressive!

Nan Punian then realized, "Xiao Shu, you've studied martial arts?"

Nan Shu let go of him, "Just a little bit." In her past life, her anatomy skills were quite good. Her master was afraid that she would quit her job, and also afraid that she would not be able to endure the hardship and would give up. So, he would find a few tall, newly graduated police academy students to teach her combat techniques.

Although she had never been in a relationship, she had seen plenty of handsome men, which made her more motivated to study. For the first time, she experienced what it meant to study without pain.

Although she hasn't trained much since arriving here and her stamina isn't great, she might not necessarily lose when it comes to explosive power.

"So, Captain Nan, don't worry, I'll definitely be fine."

Nan Shu looked at Nan Punian with a serious expression. She knew that Captain Nan cared about her, but she was not a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse.

Everything she possesses, except for time travel and the ability to understand animal language, is something she earned through her own hard work and sweat.

It's something etched into your bones and soul.

“Hmm…” Nan Punian looked at the girl, met her firm almond eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, and finally gave in. He sighed softly, took out his phone and handed it to Nan Shu, “Take this, give me yours, contact me anytime.”

Nan Punian's phone has a strong GPS tracking feature, so even if it loses contact, it can be quickly located via satellite maps.

"it is good."

Nan Shu gave Nan Punian her phone and unlock password, and under Nan Punian's gaze, she followed the direction Lili pointed out and disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest.

Soon, her frail figure disappeared from Nan Punian's sight.

Nan Punian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he suppressed the urge to follow, remaining where he was.
