After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 704 Concealing Some Truths

We weaved through the gaps between buildings, passed through narrow passageways, and finally stopped in front of a building with red tiles on its exterior walls.

No. 188, Fu'an Road.

There is only one household per floor in this building, and there are no surveillance cameras in the stairwells of each floor.

“She lives on the fourth floor,” Li Jiaman said.

When I climbed to the fourth floor, there was a striking black number "4" painted on the wall.

"We're here." Li Jiaman raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Hello, is anyone home?"

She knocked a few times before someone came out to open the door.

Yang Lidan's older sister, Yang Limei, opened the door, but only cracked it open, looking wary. "May I ask what brings you here?"

"Hello, we are from the Criminal Investigation Team of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau." Li Jiaman showed her identification and explained her purpose, "We specially invited a special consultant from the Criminal Investigation Team of Yunjing. Today we are here to find the alpacas raised by Yang Lidan."

Yang Limei stood inside the door, sizing up the group. She coughed twice before saying, "Looking for that alpaca? After my sister was taken away by you, no one took care of that alpaca, so I had someone take it away."

"Take it away?" Li Jiaman frowned and asked, "You mean the alpaca isn't here anymore?"

Yang Limei glanced at Jiang Yuan before speaking, "She's not here anymore."

Li Jiaman's colleague Cheng Xu asked, "Who did you call to take it away? Do you have their contact information?"

Yang Limei explained, "I posted it online, and that person called me, saying they wanted to adopt an alpaca."

Cheng Xu: "Then could you please provide that person's phone number?"

"Let me look for it," Yang Limei said, turning and walking inside.

She quickly returned to the door with her phone and scrolled through her call log. "I don't remember which number it was. I get a lot of calls coming in on my phone every day."

She showed the call logs from that day, which indeed showed many calls.

Li Jiaman and Cheng Xu exchanged a glance, their expressions identically serious.

Yang Limei said, "I work as a real estate agent, so many people contact me."

Li Jiaman nodded: "It's okay, then we'll collect all the numbers and call them one by one to ask."

Yang Limei: "Okay."

"Is that alpaca raised by Yang Lidan?" Xu Shiling, who had been silent until now, asked.

Yang Limei looked at her and replied, "It was raised by my sister."

"Then why don't you keep them anymore?"

“My sister is under investigation, and I’m busy with work. There’s no one to take care of the alpacas at home.”

"So you gave the alpaca away?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Yang Limei nodded, "Yes."

“Alpacas aren’t children. You can just feed them regularly every day. There’s absolutely no need to send them away.” Jiang Yuan found it strange. “Besides, if your sister meets the criteria for legitimate self-defense, she can come back soon. If you don’t have time to raise an alpaca, it would be more reasonable to choose to foster it.”

Yang Limei frowned, lowered her head, and said softly, "Because that alpaca was impulsively raised by my sister, and she actually wanted to give it away a long time ago."

"I see." Jiang Yuan nodded slightly. "I understand."

Yang Limei pursed her lips before asking, "Is there anything else? If not, I have to go see my client."

Li Jiaman took a picture of her call log and asked for more details about taking the alpaca. "Thank you for your cooperation, goodbye."

"You're welcome." Yang Limei took the phone and closed the door.

Back on the first floor, Cheng Xu looked up at the fourth floor and frowned. "Why do I feel like there's something strange about Yang Lidan?"

“Yes,” Li Jiaman nodded, “but she wasn’t home when the incident happened; she was showing houses to clients, so she has an alibi.” “I think sending the alpaca away seems a bit deliberate,” Xu Shiling said softly. “Did the alpaca see something?”

Jiang Yuan also spoke up: "I've noticed that Yang Lidan has been secretly watching me. I feel like she should know me."

“If she knew you, then she must be hiding something by giving the alpaca away.” Li Jiaman’s voice deepened.

“In that case, we might not be able to find the person who took the alpaca,” Xu Shiling analyzed. “Maybe that alpaca is already…”

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

“It is indeed very possible.” Li Jiaman’s expression was solemn.

Cheng Xu sighed softly, "There's no other way now, we can only check her call records first."

Back in the car, the four of them started making calls according to the call log to inquire about the situation.

Half an hour later, they found that they had gained nothing.

Everyone said they hadn't adopted an alpaca recently.

Li Jiaman raised her hand and scratched her hair. "Is Yang Limei lying, or is the person who took the alpaca lying?"

“I doubt anyone will adopt an alpaca,” Jiang Yuan said softly.

Xu Shiling said, "I think Yang Limei disposed of the alpacas because she wanted to hide some of the truth."

"So what should we do now?" Li Jiaman pouted. "We sent Consultant Jiang all the way from Yunjing, but the alpaca is nowhere to be found!"

Cheng Xu also looked troubled, "Yeah, it's so embarrassing."

"You should report this to the bureau first," Li Jiaman reminded her.

"Okay." Cheng Xu nodded and picked up his phone to make a call.

Jiang Yuan turned her head to look out the car window. Birds perched on branches, and a stray cat by the roadside stared intently at them.

She suddenly thought of something, "Do you think any birds might have seen the crime scene when it happened that day? Or, when the alpaca was taken away, did it disturb any cats or dogs on the street?"

"That's actually possible." Xu Shiling's eyes lit up. "If we can't find alpacas, we can try asking other animals!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiaman turned around and asked excitedly, "Is there a way?"

"I'm not sure if it's feasible," Jiang Yuan replied cautiously. "If there's no better way right now, then let's give it a try."

“Sure!” Li Jiaman replied immediately. “Is there anything we can do to help?”

Jiang Yuan blinked. "Then how about helping me buy some feed? I'll see if I can ask the local birds and cats in the neighborhood about the situation."

“Okay!” Li Jiaman agreed. “Then I’ll go buy feed. Cheng Xu, you stay here to protect Consultant Jiang and Officer Xu.”

"Okay, I understand." Cheng Xu nodded.

Jiang Yuan and the others got out of the car again and walked towards No. 188 Fu'an Road.

She walked around and found quite a few cats and dogs nearby.

Jiang Yuan stopped in her tracks, and the cats and dogs, smelling her scent, all moved closer to her.

"Meow~ This human sister smells so good!"

"Meow! The cat likes this older sister!"

"Meow! Meow likes it too!"

"Woof~ Actually, woof also likes to 'hehehe'~"

"..."

Hearing these words, Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you all for your support. You're all so lovely. Can I chat with you?"
