Chapter 16 System Upgrade: Do You Want to Be Transferred?

The Xu Hua case has been solved.

With the facts of Li Dexia and Wang's murder established, Wang accidentally severed Xu Hua's finger.

When Xu Hua threatened to report her to the police, Wang thought about how Xu Hua had married into the Li family and was constantly at odds with her. Because Xu Hua was a teacher, she had to give Xu Hua face in public, and the facade of a harmonious family that she maintained was just an act, which made her feel very frustrated. With both old and new grudges surfacing, she decided to go all the way and kill Xu Hua.

Xu Hua's head was also severed by Wang Shi. Halfway through the decapitation, she encountered her son, Li Dexia, who had come to pick him up. He was terrified, just like Xu Hua, and his first thought was to call the police. But Wang Shi was his mother, and her words, "I am your mother," made the cowardly Li Dexia choose to obey her.

Therefore, Li Dexia also participated in the decapitation.

With conclusive evidence, the two were sentenced to death.

The key to solving the case was two rabbits.

Thanks to the two rabbits, the truth of the case was brought to light.

As the news spread through major newspapers, while people were outraged, their curiosity was also piqued by the two rabbits. Surprisingly, the two rabbits had become the key to solving the case, and they were eager to see how they would do it.

"Comrade Gu, hello, I am Nie Wenxi, a reporter from China News Service. I would like to interview you. The whole country is waiting for our latest report. The newspaper's mailbox is overflowing with letters from all over the country. They want to know some details of the case."

"I finally managed to snag a spot on this business trip and I'd like to interview you. Could you spare me 10 minutes? I'll do a report on you, and then we'll air an audio interview with you on our evening news."

Gu Yiliu looked at the excited reporter in front of him, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

"Is it true that the key to solving the case is two rabbits?"

"real."

"I heard that Comrade Gu can communicate effectively with them. Is that true? Can you communicate with other animals as well?"

Gu Yiliu thought the reporter was really competent, asking questions that the public wanted to know.

“Of course I can communicate with them, and I can communicate with other animals too. I recently rescued two tigers, and they're in the Dongshan County Zoo now,” Gu Yiliu said, calling out to Kuai Kuai, who immediately ran to her. Gu Yiliu then looked at Manman, “Manman, come here too, a reporter wants to interview you…”

Nie Wenxi glanced at Gu Yiliu in surprise, then noticed the rabbit she was holding. In a few breaths, she made a decision and had her colleague point the camera at the rabbit named Manman.

The rabbit glanced at her, then looked at the reporter, before slowly walking to Gu Yiliu's feet, then hopping up and jumping into Gu Yiliu's arms.

Nie Wenxi exclaimed in surprise, finding it unbelievable.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the camera focused on Gu Yiliu. Nie Wenxi, displaying excellent professionalism, immediately began the conversation.

"Comrade Gu, could you share the circumstances under which the two rabbits came to you and handed you the ring? Many netizens have asked about this in our newspaper's mailbox. How did they know that the ring belonged to the victim?"

“Kuai Kuai was about to give birth, but the rain washed away her vagina. She and her sister had no choice but to come to me. The ring was a thank-you gift from them. My colleagues and I guessed that they might have seen the victim and the suspect. The ring must have fallen into her vagina when Xu Hua was killed. It was probably a coincidence that they gave it to me.”

Nie Wenxi never expected things to turn out this way. "That's wonderful. Heaven is watching what people do. The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. The two rabbits are great heroes."

Gu Yiliu nodded, "Yes, their cave collapsed, so they told me they want to find a new cave. I plan to send it to the zoo, they should accept it."

Nie Wenxi understood the implied meaning: "These adorable little rabbits have even solved a murder case. They're both cute and intelligent. I think zoos all over the country would be scrambling to have them."

Hearing Nie Wenxi's words, Gu Yiliu was relieved, knowing she would report it. Then these two rabbits would become animal celebrities.

Nie Wenxi still had many questions she wanted to ask, and she also asked Gu Yiliu how he learned to communicate effectively with animals.

“Observe more, interact more. In fact, small animals are very pure. If you spread kindness, they are willing to interact with you. Sometimes they are more like people than people. Similar to the Xu Hua case, there are many, many women who are abused and murdered in corners that are not reported. They actually need everyone's attention. I hope that while everyone pays attention to Kuai Kuai and Man Man, they also pay attention to those women and compatriots who have been wronged, abused, and murdered. They need a lot of attention, encouragement, and courage.”

Nie Wenxi quickly took notes, sensing that Gu Yiliu's words would cause a great stir.

After Gu Yiliu finished speaking, he inexplicably thought of what the system had said. The system said, "You are a police officer. You will use contact lenses in many places. You didn't only use contact lenses for that moment yesterday."

There are many people and things that cannot see the light of day, and even animals, who actually need this kind of contact lens and need people to help them.

Diandian sensed her emotional fluctuations and felt a little proud of her good judgment. "Host, as long as you use the contact lenses correctly, I'll be proud of you."

Gu Yiliu hummed twice, and from now on she would allow the system to call her Yiliu.

Dian Dian chuckled, "First-rate, thank you for your recognition. We'll continue to work hard in the future. If you get promoted, I'll get a promotion."

Gu Yiliu: "You forgot what you said, people are very complicated. I just think you're nice at this moment, so don't talk too much and annoy me."

"..." The system timidly chose to close the conversation.

After the interview, Nie Wenxi patted the chickens and ducks in the backyard of the outpost, surprised that she was raising the protected Yellow-bellied Horned Chicken.

“They came to the outpost on their own and didn’t want to leave. Actually, I didn’t leave them here at all. They’ve started incubating eggs again now, and I don’t know how many chicks will hatch,” Gu Yiliu glanced at the chicken coop, then turned and winked innocently at Nie Wenxi. “As for these ducks, they were hatched by these chickens.”

Nie Wenxi chuckled, amused by her, "...I think the zoo should hire you as a zookeeper; you have four very shining qualities on you."

"What?" Gu Yiliu was genuinely curious.

"The livestock thrive."

Just like now, the yellow-bellied pheasants and ducks are gathered around Gu Yiliu's feet, quacking and chattering as if they are talking to her, creating a unique kind of fun.

"..." Gu Yiliu glanced at the chicken at his feet and glared at it.

Nie Wenxi thought she didn't like what she heard, so she smiled and explained, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean any harm. I just think that if tigers like you, chickens and ducks like you, rabbits like you, then there must be other animals that like you too. That's how livestock thrive. I think if you keep endangered protected animals for a while, they might become vulnerable."

"...I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry with these chickens."

Actually, Gu Yiliu had just overheard the Yellow-bellied Horned Chicken saying that 15 chicks would hatch soon, and when she heard that, she felt her head spin. There were already 12 chicks and 4 ducks; another 15 chicks? Did they think the outpost was a chicken farm?!

"Huh? The chicken told you?"

"More or less."

Nie Wenxi looked at Gu Yiliu with admiration in her eyes, "Your skills are unmatched, you've even learned animal language."

Gu Yiliu smiled but didn't say anything.

Nie Wenxi and her team stayed until the afternoon before leaving. She exchanged contact information with Gu Yiliu, hoping to stay in touch. Gu Yiliu nodded and agreed.

Three days after she left, Gu Yiliu saw the newspaper article featuring an interview with her.

It was brought by Director Bai, an old acquaintance.

"Director Bai, what brings you here?"

Bai Weigang was in high spirits. He was proud that such a famous person had emerged from among his subordinates. "Didn't the newspaper say that your two rabbits had nowhere to go? I'll take them to the zoo and feed them well. I'll also take your dozen or so chickens and ducks with me. The whole county is looking forward to seeing the hero rabbit who solved the case!"

Gu Yiliu responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "Are there any allowances or rewards?"

Bai Weigang was exasperated. "Why are you always thinking about money? You've really done a great job! And look at what this reporter wrote, you can even speak animal language, that's amazing! How about a promotion?"

Gu Yiliu responded with another "Oh," and added, "My internship isn't over yet, and I still owe the school money. What am I thinking about if not money?"

"...Still thinking about your internship? I wonder how many people are hoping your internship ends right away so they can poach you! How much do you owe? I'll pay it off for you!" Bai Weigang pointed at her forehead, looking speechless.

Gu Yiliu's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved a stool to Bai Weigang and pressed him down to sit. "It's not much, just your monthly salary, Director Bai, 75 yuan."

Bai Wei was suddenly pushed down onto the bench by her. His buttocks hurt, and the muscles on his face twitched. Before he could say anything to her, he heard her words again.

He waved his hand, "Alright, I'll pay it back for you!"

"Director, you're an upright and just official!"

"Your Honor, I'm counting on you to keep up the good work and give me a promotion and a raise!"

The two complimented each other.

After offering the compliments, he promised to help pay back the money, and he really meant it. Bai Weigang immediately instructed his subordinates to put the chickens, ducks, and rabbits into cages and take them to the county zoo.

The subordinates were still in a daze when they heard Director Bai's words, and when they heard the order, they just followed it blankly.

“Wait, we can’t take the ducks with us. I want to keep them so they can lay eggs when they’re bigger. Besides, Min Songyue has been raising them for quite a while, so I want to leave him something to remember us by,” Gu Yiliu said.

Bai Wei waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to listen to her.

And so, Gu Yiliu returned to the Dongshan County Zoo with a flock of chickens and rabbits.

Quickly and slowly were put into a large cage, along with a special introduction to the hero rabbits. As soon as they were put into the cage, a large crowd gathered to watch.

Knowing they would have to stay in the zoo this time, the yellow-bellied pheasants begged Gu Yiliu to get them a nameplate and number them.

"OK!"

"Officer Gu, remember to come back and visit us often. If it weren't for the fact that we can't eat the eggs of protected animals, I would really like to give you some eggs to thank you. We would have had this opportunity because of you."

"Top-notch! The yellow-bellied horned chicken's rating has increased by another 1%, bringing it to a total of 71%!" Dian Dian's surprised voice rang out.

Gu Yiliu paused for a moment, then looked at the Yellow-bellied Horned Pheasants. She grabbed some rice bran provided by the zoo and fed them. "Stay put in the zoo. Call me if you need anything, and I'll come help you." The Yellow-bellied Horned Pheasants nodded, watching her leave with reluctance.

Since we're at the zoo, we definitely have to see Tiger Big and Tiger Pretty.

When I got there, I found out that their four cubs had been sent for training. Tiger bared his teeth and said, "Those who are capable will return to the mountains to become mountain kings, reproduce, and strengthen the clan. Those who are not capable will retire in the zoo with me and Tiger Pretty. Officer Gu, thank you. I'm so glad I met you, otherwise I wouldn't have such a comfortable life."

"Ahhh!! Top-notch!! Return visits will also increase positive reviews! That's great! Tiger Big and Tiger Pretty have increased by 2% together, that's 73%!"

"Can I enter the lottery?"

Dian Dian immediately deflated. "The return visits have increased dramatically, but you still have one lottery draw left to participate in. Do you want to draw it now?"

"No, let's wait a bit longer."

Gu Yiliu was still puzzled, "Wasn't it said that accepting the interview would have unexpected results? Has the positive feedback increased?"

Dian Dian told her not to worry, the positive reviews were still being tallied, and to wait a little longer.

The wait was short-lived.

After leaving the zoo, Bai Weigang took her to return the money. Gu Yiliu, of course, didn't ask him to pay it all back; she just wanted him to pay half. Bai Weigang listened to her and only paid half for her. After returning the money, they took her to see TV.

On the first floor of the only department store in the county, there was a large television, and the surrounding area was full of people watching the television broadcasts.

The television was playing a video of Nie Wenxi interviewing Gu Yiliu.

Gradually, comments such as "Amazing!", "She's right, a lot of people have been abused!", "Damn those ruthless ones!", "There really are two tigers in the zoo!", and "So she was the one who rescued them" gradually rose and fell.

At the same time, Gu Yiliu heard Dian Dian scream, "Aa ...

"First-rate, I'm upgrading!" the system shouted, then fell silent. Gu Yiliu guessed that it had gone to upgrade.

Just then, someone patted my shoulder.

Gu Yiliu turned around and saw that it was Han Yi.

He laughed and called her, "First-rate."

Then his expression froze.

Gu Yiliu glanced at the hand that was on his shoulder and knew that he must know the current status of the system again.

"Did you need something?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Han Yi glanced at her, calmly withdrew his hand, and said with a helpless expression, "Well, there is something I might need your cooperation with."

Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow at him.

Han Yi pulled out two movie tickets and asked with a smile, "Can I treat you to a movie?"

Where did it come from?

"After working non-stop for more than ten days, we solved the Xu Hua case. The station let me rest for a few days and gave me a movie ticket. Of course, they also gave you one."

"By the way, Deputy Chief Zeng also asked me to ask you if you'd like to transfer to work at the police station?"
