Chapter 163 Another murder case!

"Meow~"

"I don't want to stay home, I want to go with you," Xiaohua said earnestly to Zhou Zhinan.

Zhou Zhinan naturally couldn't understand, but Zhou Xiaohua was wearing a bracelet now, so there wouldn't be any emergencies. She could go if she wanted.

"Let's go," Zhou Zhinan said as he opened the car door.

Xiao Hua quickly jumped into her own passenger seat and squatted there, looking incredibly well-behaved.

As soon as Zhou Zhinan opened the car door at the station, Zhou Xiaohua darted out, meowing as she did so.

Zhou Zhinan instinctively felt that she was calling to the stray cats in the yard.

Sure enough, when it got out of the car and went to look for Zhou Xiaohua, it saw that Zhou Xiaohua had already jumped into the flower bushes and was doing something.

But soon, a few scattered movements came from the flower bushes. Zhou Zhinan looked closely and found that several cats had gathered together.

Zhou Zhinan couldn't help but want to laugh. Perhaps Zhou Xiaohua didn't care whether she could become human or what kind of superpowers she had.

She would be content as long as she could stay by his side, eat and drink her fill every day, sleep well, and occasionally play with her friends, being a happy little cat.

"You play by yourself, but don't go too far." Zhou Zhinan watched for a while, gathered his thoughts, gave this instruction, and then went upstairs first.

Xiao Hua naturally heard Zhou Zhinan's voice and responded with a "meow," but Zhou Zhinan didn't say anything more, so she continued playing with her friends.

When Zhou Zhinan went upstairs to his office, a few other people were already there. They greeted him casually, and he casually replied before sitting down at his desk.

The case was over, and with nothing much to do these past few days, everyone became a bit lazy. Zhou Zhinan didn't care too much; as long as they didn't mess things up when it was time to get busy, that was fine.

However, their leisure time was too short. Just after lunch, Zhou Zhinan received a call saying that a murder had occurred and they needed to go to the scene immediately.

Zhou Zhinan hung up the phone and said to everyone with a serious expression, "There's a case. Let's head to the scene!"

The previously listless crowd immediately perked up upon hearing this, and shouted in unison with great enthusiasm, "Yes!"

Everyone started to get moving. Xiao Hua, who was already getting ready to go to sleep, heard the commotion and knew they were going to the scene, so she also stood up.

Zhou Zhinan looked at her and asked, "Are you going too?"

"Meow~"

"I'm going."

Xiaohua was still a little sleepy and looked somewhat listless, but she wanted to go.

"Let's go then." Zhou Zhinan said, scooping up Zhou Xiaohua who was about to jump off the table, and then strode out.

On the way to the scene, Zhou Zhinan had already asked Xu Yang to notify Xiao Tao, who was on vacation, to come back quickly.

That's just how they are; no matter what they're doing, the case always comes first and can't be delayed.

The crime scene was quite far away, at a holiday villa in the suburbs. Xiaohua hadn't planned to sleep, but the swaying of the car made her fall asleep anyway.

At first, Zhou Zhinan didn't pay attention, but later, the mountain road became bumpy, and the car shook violently, causing Zhou Zhinan to lift Zhou Xiaohua onto his lap. Looking at Zhou Xiaohua again, Zhou Zhinan was quite impressed; even in this state, she still hadn't woken up.
Xu Yang, who was standing nearby, followed Zhou Zhinan's gaze and saw Hua Hua, who was still fast asleep. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Hua Hua is pretty amazing."

Zhou Zhinan glanced at Xu Yang, then gave a faint smile, saying nothing, but simply pulled Zhou Xiaohua into his arms.

By the time they finally arrived at their destination, it was already past 3 p.m.

Zhou Zhinan was about to put Zhou Xiaohua down so she could sleep in the car, but as soon as he put her down, Zhou Xiaohua, who hadn't been jolted awake the whole way, suddenly woke up.

"I have to go now. Do you want to go downstairs or continue sleeping?" Zhou Zhinan asked gently.

Xiao Hua opened her mouth wide, yawned widely, stretched lazily, meowed at Zhou Zhinan, and then jumped down.

Zhou Zhinan then got out of the car as well.

After receiving the emergency call, Zhou Zhinan and his colleagues were not the first to arrive; instead, their colleagues from the nearby police station arrived first.

The police station had no experience in handling homicide cases, but they managed to control the scene immediately and conducted a brief interview with the person who reported the crime.

So when Zhou Zhinan and his group arrived, they quickly learned the details of the matter.

The four boys who reported the incident were all college students from the same dormitory. It was early September, and they had just arrived from home. School would start in a few days, so they decided to go out together.

We came across this villa in the mountains halfway through the journey. Judging from the exterior, the villa should be maintained by someone, but it was so quiet that it didn't seem like anyone lived there.

Out of curiosity, they wanted to see what was going on, and that's when they discovered the body in the villa.

Faced with such a situation, they were naturally afraid, especially since this was originally a desolate mountain forest, and who knew what might happen?
They were terrified and immediately called the police.

When the police arrived, they were running away, but were eventually brought back by the police.

However, the presence of the police made them feel much more at ease.

Aside from finding the body in the villa, they knew nothing else, and after taking their statements, they found no useful information.

Zhou Zhinan stood in front of the villa, scrutinizing the detached house before him. After a while, he turned to his colleague and asked, "What's the deal with this villa?"

Since other things are difficult to investigate, let's start with the villa. Such a luxurious villa couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere; it must have an owner.

“The property rights of the villa have been retrieved, but the family went abroad several years ago and the villa is being managed by their relatives. We have already had someone contact them.”

Zhou Zhinan nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, continued, "There are no surveillance cameras here, so it's impossible for them to capture anything. But when I came here, I found that there are surveillance cameras on the outermost main road. Let's investigate those cameras first."

Although it will be troublesome, it is at least a direction for investigation.

"Okay," the other person nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zhinan didn't have anything to say, and started walking towards the villa. On the way, he saw Zhou Xiaohua wandering around, looking here and there, but Zhou Zhinan ignored her.

After all, this wasn't the first time Zhou Xiaohua had appeared at a scene with them, and he believed that Zhou Xiaohua was aware of the situation.
