Chapter 244 Solving the Case Within a Time Limit

Chapter 244 Solving the Case Within a Time Limit
One, two, three... seven snow shovelers, like gophers, poked their heads out of the snow one by one, calling out in unison: "[Station Master Sister~]"
These soft, white dumplings, with their sweet, gentle voices, almost made Xu Ying lose her bearings from being called "Station Master Sister" so many times, and even the tension caused by the murder case was relieved.

[Sister, why did it take you so long to come see us?]
Xu Ying felt guilty as the adorable snow shovelers hugged her legs: "I'm sorry, my babies, I'm busy building my own base and can't get away from it these days."

"Once the base is built, I'll take you there as guests."

Xu Ying has gained even more popularity with the variety show "Rules of Survival in the Desert". After a few more episodes, her income is estimated to be in the tens of millions. This salary can be used to build the desert zoo of her dreams!
The Feng couple's biotechnology company has built a 300-square-meter playground for the animals to play in.

Xu Ying is determined to turn the area within a hundred meters of the rescue station into an animal park and connect it with an animal hospital.

This will provide a safe and comfortable home for wild animals that cannot survive on their own in the desert, and will also better protect endangered species.

Xu Ying stroked the little cuties' shiny fur: "My base will have a large animal park, and there will also be a snow mountain pavilion that can simulate the environment of Xishan Snow Mountain. You can play freely in there without worrying about heatstroke."

The seven snow shovels' eyes lit up immediately. [Okay, okay, it's a deal!]
The snow-sweeping weasels stretched out their little paws, and Xu Ying tapped their paws against each of them.

Seven white balls climbed up her arm, wrapping around her neck like a scarf, or nestled in her arms.

Xu Ying could barely manage five small fennec foxes, but seven long snow-sweeping weasels were a real strain; this love was somewhat heavy and suffocating.

Just as a snowsweeper was about to fall off Xu Ying, Ji Xuehui reacted quickly and caught it.

The little white ball that was caught looked up and saw a capable and smart policewoman holding it, and immediately jumped back into the snow shyly.

Realizing it hadn't said thank you yet, it slowly crawled to Ji Xuehui, stood up, and bowed to her with both hands to express its gratitude.

"Wow, they're really tall when they stand up."

Ji Xuehui was charmed by the snow weasel's reaction, which eased her fatigue considerably.

The largest of the seven snow-sweeping weasels looked at Ji Xuehui's police badge. It remembered that Sister Xu Ying and the others had said that people who wore this badge were the ones who caught bad guys.

It then turned to Xu Ying: [Sister, is someone dead here?]
[Last night, Uncle Tibetan Fox told us he saw three people kneeling motionless in the snow; they're probably frozen to death.]
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying immediately became serious and said, "Tibetan fox? Can you help me find this Tibetan fox? I want to ask it some questions."

"My sister is now helping the police solve the case and figure out whether these people died accidentally from freezing or were killed."

[Oh my god, murder?!]
The snow-sweeping weasel opened its little mouth wide, covering its mouth with its paws.

Their tiny eyes were filled with great confusion.

Why do you humans kill your own kind when you have plenty of food and don't need to fight each other for territory?
This question stumped Xu Ying. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Hmm...that's a question."

Xu Ying looked into their small eyes and answered seriously: "Humans do not lack food, nor do they need to fight for territory like animals, but sometimes... what we fight for is much more complicated than food and territory."

She paused, "It could be power, money, hatred, or simply because... some people have forgotten how precious life is."

The snow-sweeping weasel tilted its head, clearly still not quite understanding. Xu Ying smiled wryly and reached out to rub its little head: "Actually, I don't quite understand either. But I know that no matter the reason, killing is wrong—just like you weasels wouldn't kill your own kind for no reason, right?"

The snow shovel nodded seriously, "[Yes! We'll only fight once at most, and if we win, we won't chase after you anymore!]"
Xu Ying was amused by their innocence: "Yes, if only humans could be as simple as you."

[Besides finding Uncle Tibetan Fox, what else does Sister need us to do?]
Xu Ying stroked her chin and said, "Help me post a bounty notice."

"If any small animals have seen these three male climbers, bring them to the police outpost near the crime scene."

"I can reward animals with winter food supplies for those who provide clues!"

[Alright, the Snow Sweeping Weasel Squad is on the move!!]
As soon as they heard that Xu Ying needed help, the little white balls that were clinging to her immediately got off her.

The seven snow-sweeping weasels scattered in seven different directions to help Station Master Xu post the bounty notice.

Xu Ying said to Ji Xuehui, "The children have already helped to find eyewitnesses. A Tibetan fox saw these three people kneeling in the snow last night."

Ji Xuehui perked up immediately upon hearing this: "That's great! This is wonderful news. Station Master Xu made the right choice in asking you!"

"Otherwise, with such heavy snow, it would be really difficult for us to find any clues. We would just be wandering around the scene like headless flies."

The two trudged through the mud towards the orange rescue tent on the mountainside platform. Pushing aside the heavy, cold-proof curtain, a wave of heat mixed with the smell of kerosene hit them.

The tent was not spacious, with a high-altitude gas heater in the center, its blue flame emitting a soft hum.

Four folding chairs surrounded a small square table, on which lay a topographical map and several cups of steaming ginger tea.

To Xu Ying's surprise, there was another unexpected person in the tent—

Chen Su was here too.

He was wearing a crisp police overcoat, and his tall, slender figure looked particularly upright in the cramped tent.

Unmelted snowflakes still clung to the collar of his coat, making his pale skin appear even more aloof.

Under the dim light inside the tent, he frowned slightly, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, and his high nose still bore the faint red marks left by the wind and snow.

Chen Su looked up and saw Xu Ying, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then a restrained smile appeared on his lips: "So the strongest foreign aid that Captain Ji was talking about is Station Chief Xu."

Xu Ying's earmuffs were still hanging crookedly around her neck, and the snowflakes stuck to the ends of her hair were slowly melting in the warmth of the heater.

"I came here to record a program, but Director Shao told me that there was a murder in the snow mountain and the program could not be recorded if the case was not solved by the day after tomorrow."

At this point, she sighed slightly, "The second episode of 'Rules of Survival in the Desert' has garnered so much attention online. If I can't record it, the funds I used to build the zoo will have to fly away."
