After understanding the language of animals, I was chased by the country to feed

"Drink some water first."

Xiao Ran, still in shock, picked up the cup of water and drank it in one gulp. The furry kitten in his arms gradually calmed down.

Chi Qing took the initiative to reach out to Shui Lanlan, and the kitten rushed into Chi Qing's arms like a cannon. Dada and Xiaobai heard the movement and took proud little steps and jumped heavily onto the table.

"Don't be afraid, sister. Xiaobai's master is very powerful!"

大大长长的尾巴一甩，轻声一哼：“也不看看是谁的仆人，小家伙，都在我仆人怀里了还怕什么，挺起胸膛，等着我仆人把坏蛋揍出地球！”

Chi Qing imitated Liang Shengnan's cat-stroking technique and slapped Dada's face, rubbing it randomly: "Okay, Dada, stop teasing me."

The angry Dada was forced to say: "...I order you to change your massage technique! You are not allowed to imitate others."

Qin Qiemo had already contacted the merged investigation team via the intranet. Everyone on the other end of the video chat was sitting neatly in the conference room. It seemed this case involved a wide range of people, and it had received unprecedented attention from the top brass.

Xiao Ran was truly shocked by the scene, trembling and unable to speak. "My friend's name is Hong Cheng. He's a snake, born in 89, and from City A."

"Do you have any grudge against each other? Why should I kill you?" Liang Shengnan held a notebook, but her sharp eyes still pierced him.

Xiao Ran closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his words filled with pity for Hong Cheng's situation: "He is a native of City A, has a house and a car, a happy family, and is also my best friend."

Having said that, he smiled sarcastically, not sure whether he was mocking fate or Hong Cheng.

"His family's house was mortgaged by his father, his wife divorced him, and his unborn child is gone."

"Hong Cheng couldn't make it anymore. He sold his car to pay off his father's debts, left that glamorous city, and retreated to a new first-tier city. He became addicted to the lottery, and spent all his remaining belongings on it, but everyone knows that lottery tickets are impossible to win."

Xiao Ran covered her face with her hands and lowered her head to her legs. She cried in a suppressed voice, "He killed the owner of the lottery shop."

The air fell into an eerie silence, and someone on the other end of the video had already jogged to the clue wall.

Seeing that they were silent, Chi Qing thought of the key point and immediately asked, "When did you know?"

"That day."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, his whole body relaxed, as if he was relieved.

Liang Shengnan's voice was calm, yet full of pressure: "The lottery shop owner died three months ago, a month before the dismemberment incident."

"..."

What he got was Xiao Ran's silence with his head down.

"You know about the dismemberment case." Chi Qing said in affirmation.

He struggled internally for a moment, but finally nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Dad?" The little dirty cat in Chi Qing's arms had disbelief in its bright eyes.

How could that be? How could Dad know? If he knew, why didn't he ask for help?

But Xiao Ran couldn't understand cat language, so he didn't know how heartbroken Shui Lanlan was at the moment.

Chi Qing covered Shui Lanlan's ears: "Be good, wait a little longer."

"Do you know that this is also a crime?" Liang Shengnan slammed the pen heavily on the table. She really couldn't tolerate this kind of person.

Qin Qiemo saw that his rhythm was being deviated and frowned: "Why did he kill you?"

"I have a girlfriend, she's a police officer."

Everything seemed reasonable and had nothing to do with Zhang De and Mu Chengzhou.

But Chi Qing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Due to insufficient evidence, Chi Qing could only watch as the police sent people to take Xiao Ran away.

The video hadn't been hung yet, and the person on the other side, who had been silent, now raised a question.

The relatively young detective sitting in the front row stretched out his hand and said, "I think this all happened so smoothly and coincidentally."

This statement was echoed by two or three people. A neatly dressed female police officer in the corner stood up and said, "We just connected the three things with the clues we got, and Xiao Ran came to our door on his own initiative. How strange."

Qin Qiemo and Liang Shengnan didn't say anything, but instead turned their eyes to Chi Qing.

"Although I haven't deliberately kept my home address secret, I still have to ask if I want to know it. However, I just asked my relatives, friends and people in the same community, and no one has asked about it."

Xiao Ran became a key surveillance target, and Hong Cheng was also under comprehensive surveillance.

It seemed like we had reached a dead end again, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Chi Qing stepped forward and clicked mute. He carried Shui Lanlan to a place where the video could not see her. He held her up and tried to look at her at eye level.

"Shui Lanlan, I trust you. Can you tell me more news?"

There was a struggle in Shui Lanlan's eyes, but the power in Chi Qing calmed her restless heart. She followed her inner thoughts and told her everything she knew.

"Qingqing, the lottery shop owner was forced by the person on the phone to kill Dad and Hongcheng."

"Forced? Did you hear what he said to the person on the phone?"

Shui Lanlan shook her head: "Dad only called once a few days ago, and I didn't hear it."

That's enough news.

"Big Dad, Xiaobai, go play with your sister for a while."

Chi Qing conveyed this news to the two waiting people, and their frowns became even more serious.

"I don't have a proper work permit yet. You tell them about this." Chi Qing pointed at the crowd on the other end of the video who were staring at her. Her scalp tingled. She really couldn't stand such a crowded scene.

The video mute had just been turned off, but Chi Qing didn't know it yet.

"Don't worry about that. The leader has already issued the order. Your words are the truth."

The sudden voice startled Chi Qing: "How can you speak?!"

The person opposite: “Huh?”

Chi Qing realized what he had said belatedly and quickly waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. I meant it was muted just now."

Everyone was amused by her appearance, and the atmosphere was no longer as dull as before.

Qin Qiemo finally said, "Don't be nervous, we can get along well with each other."

"I haven't washed my cat's dishes yet, so I'm going to wash the dishes first." Chi Qing said this casually and left the scene like a fugitive.

Liang Shengnan looked at Chi Qing who was running away with his head covered. Her serious expression melted into water at this moment: "You ran the wrong way. That's my bedroom."

"Oh, I'll just take a stroll."

After successfully getting into the cat room, Chi Qing held the three cats and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's completely different from the crowded pet store. I really can't handle a serious scene with so many people."

Chi Qing could still pretend when there were few people around, just like the first time she went to the police station, her aura directly scared off two young police officers.

Dada jumped into Chi Qing's arms and rubbed against her, as if trying to clean the wild cat smell off her body, but the words he said still sounded familiar: "Servant, you still need to practice."
