Chapter 84 The Squirrel's Request for Assistance in Solving the Case

Gu Yiliu was unaware of the squirrel's thoughts, so she brought Mingming and Tailan to Yuegu and Weifu.

When the four monkeys first met, they looked at each other, each showing some fear.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" It looks a lot like Sangxia.

In the end, it was Mingming who pointed at Yuegu and spoke first.

Yuegu's body jolted, and she instinctively straightened up. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh?" Is that my mother? You've seen it before?

Gu Yiliu stepped aside, leaving the space to the four monkeys.

Mingming nodded, scratched her head, and looked a little shy. "I pursued Sangxia, but it got sick and died before it agreed."

Upon hearing this, Yuegu was startled again and instinctively looked up to find Gu Yiliu. They stared at each other across the distance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

But Gu Yiliu nodded at it.

Tears slowly welled up in Yue Gu's eyes.

When did he pass away?

Mingming: "A year ago, many apes in the tribe were infected with the disease, and many died, including," it looked at Weifu beside Yuegu, "Weifu's mother. This is Tailan, the child your mother left behind after you went missing."

Vifu was somewhat stunned, mainly because it had heard the news of its mother's death. It felt a pang of sadness for its mother. Only then did it realize that its mother's name wasn't Jinqiong, but Jinli, and it couldn't even remember her mother's name anymore. It didn't feel anything for its sister, but it still politely nodded to Tailan.

Yuegu raised its hand to wipe away its tears. It understood Weifu's feelings. "Hoo hoo hoo hoo!" It's okay. You were only 1 year old when you got lost. The fact that you can remember to call me Jinqiong means you remembered it very carefully. Our mother must be very happy that we are alive.

Vifur nodded emphatically.

Yuegu then looked at Mingming and Tailan again, "Uncle Mingming, Sister Tailan, thank you for telling me all this."

Mingming turned her head to look around and asked softly, "Yuegu, this place is nice, isn't it? Can we get enough to eat?"

Yue Gu nodded.

Then I heard it ask, "Can I stay?"

Yuegu was stunned. "I don't know. You can ask the principal."

After thinking for a moment, it took out its treasured snacks, apple slices that it had hidden that morning, and handed one to Mingming and Tailan respectively.

After it finished doing all that, it ran to Gu Yiliu's side, hugged her leg, and cried.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Officer Gu, I'm so sad and heartbroken. I don't have a mother anymore!

Yuegu always remembered its mother and wanted to find her, but it couldn't get out of the zoo. It wasn't until Officer Gu arrived that it placed its hopes on him, but it was too late.

Gu Yiliu patted Yue Gu's head and said, "Don't cry. Sang Xia certainly doesn't want you to be too sad."

"But Officer Gu, I still want to cry." Yue Gu raised her head, looking at Gu Yiliu with teary eyes.

"Huff huff huff huff!" If Officer Gu could give me a banana, I probably wouldn't be crying!

Gu Yiliu: "..."

I'd rather have bananas, that's what matters. I'm a little sad, but not much.

Fine, I'll give it a thumbs up for its 1% positive review rate.

She waved to Vif and the other two apes, and gave each of them a banana.

Vif also contributed 1% of positive reviews. As for Mingming and Tailan, she treated them equally. Besides, when they returned to the monkey troop, they would spread the word about her good deeds, and she would earn even more positive reviews.

Her action surprised Mingming and Tailan. The two monkeys, holding bananas, bowed excitedly to Gu Yiliu to express their gratitude.

"Eat up," Gu Yiliu said in a good mood. "After you finish eating, I'll take you back to the monkey troop."

"Huff huff huff huff?"

Officer Gu...can I stay at the zoo?

Mingming asked, "I want to stay at the zoo. Yuegu said that if I want to stay, I have to ask the zoo director. Can you ask the director for me if I can stay?"

Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious? Or are you just thinking of staying because Yuegu and the others have good food and drinks?"

"...all of them."

Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow again. She looked at the emergency call she had just received; it was from Mingming. She sighed.

"Okay, I'll ask for you, but I must warn you beforehand that if you stay here, you won't be able to go back to the monkey troop."

Mingming nodded firmly, "Officer Gu, I've made up my mind. I'm already 13 years old this year. According to the average lifespan of apes in our tribe, I should have about 8 or 9 more years. I think the zoo would be a good fit for me."

No wonder. It's a clever ape too. Gu Yiliu instantly looked at Mingming with new respect.

She told the two monkeys to wait a while, and then went to find the zoo director.

The zoo director said, "It wants to stay? Sure, but Officer Gu, do you know where the monkey troop is? Do you think we could let Yuegu and Weifu go back to the troop for a while? Children grow up and get married, and monkeys grow up and need to find love too, right? I also want to expand the monkey population in the zoo."

Finally, the kindergarten director smiled sheepishly, "Officer Gu, is it too much for me to make this request?"

It was a bit excessive, but Gu Yiliu also knew that this was actually good for Yuegu and Weifu. Rather than being confined to the zoo, it was better for them to go out and play. As for how long they would play, that depended on Yuegu and Weifu. If they understood that their freedom was hard-won, then they would know what to do.

Therefore, she can convey the message on his behalf.

Gu Yiliu conveyed the zoo director's message to the three monkeys besides Tailan. So when they left, Mingming stayed behind, while she took Yuegu, Weifu, and Tailan with her.

"If you're going to have a boyfriend/girlfriend, then have a boyfriend/girlfriend. There's no need to rush to have babies." Gu Yiliu said this to Yuegu and Weifu after sending Yuegu and the other monkeys to Black Mountain.

Yue Gu asked her, "Huff huff huff huff?" Officer Gu, can we stay outside a little longer?

"If you feel comfortable, you can stay longer. If you don't feel comfortable, just call me and I'll come and pick you up."

After watching Yue Gu and Wei Fu being taken away by Tai Lan and Jin Yu, Gu Yiliu decided to leave.

But before they could even descend the mountain, they were stopped by a squirrel.

Gu Yiliu remembered the squirrel in front of him; they had met once before.

She looked at the yellow-furred squirrel in front of her with a smile, "Dumped the bird eggs and ran away?"

The squirrel scratched its face with its little paws, a little embarrassed, "Squeak squeak squeak!"

I was scared, that's why I ran away. I didn't hold the bird egg properly, I didn't drop it on purpose.

Squirrel Huang Qun also felt very embarrassed. Squirrels are so agile, yet they couldn't even hold onto the bird's egg properly. It couldn't bear to throw it away, and the more it thought about it, the more regrettable it felt. The bird's egg, which it had only eaten a few bites of, was gone just like that.

Gu Yiliu squatted down and asked with a smile, "You're not afraid of me anymore? Tell me, why did you suddenly stop me?"

"Squeak squeak squeak?" Officer Gu, where did that monkey named Mingming go?

"It stayed in the zoo and is enjoying its life."

"Oh, Officer Gu, my name is Huang Qun. I need your help with something. I wonder if you can help me?" Huang Qun asked nervously.

Gu Yiliu nodded. "Go on."

"Squeak squeak squeak." My house is infested with wood worms that steal my stored pine cones and keep me awake every night. Officer Gu, could you help me catch those worms?

"Squeak squeak squeak." My current home is one I finally found. It can shelter me from the wind and rain and keep me safe from danger. It's just that there are too many insects. But if I leave, I won't be able to find such a good nest.

As Huang Qun finished speaking, Gu Yiliu also received a request for help from the police.

We absolutely have to help now.

"Where do you live?" Gu Yiliu looked up at the surrounding tree canopy.

"It's just ahead, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing Gu Yiliu's words, Huang Qun, the squirrel, knew there was hope. It immediately ran forward to lead the way for Gu Yiliu.

Huang Qun's house was in a pine tree, near the top. Gu Yiliu watched Huang Qun climb up the tree, and she also climbed up.

Seeing her climb the tree, Huang Qun's mouth was half open. When Gu Yiliu climbed up, Huang Qun praised her, "Officer Gu, you are so amazing."

Gu Yiliu smiled upon hearing this, and then checked the insect infestation situation at Huang Qun's house.

It can be said that the entire tree hole is occupied by wood-flower insects. On the surface, there is nothing there, but in fact, they are all hidden inside the tree trunk. There are many insect holes left by wood-flower insects crawling in and out on the walls.

"I can't handle these insects."

Huang Qun's fluffy little face was immediately filled with disappointment.

Gu Yiliu glanced at it and continued, "However, the Wood Chaser can solve this."

Huang Qun pouted and covered its eyes with its two little hands. It didn't want to see Officer Gu's smiling face, otherwise it would remember the disappointment it had just felt. It had almost cried, but then Officer Gu spoke with heavy breathing.

"Don't you know that woodpeckers love to eat these wood-flowering insects?" Gu Yiliu asked it.

Huang Qun put down his hand, looking worried. He was incredibly humane. "I know, but I haven't seen any woodpeckers."

Gu Yiliu understood, and she asked Diandian to call two woodpeckers to do the work.

"Okay." Dian Dian is the most enthusiastic when it comes to earning good reviews.

Ten minutes later, two woodpeckers with red crests flew into the woods.

"Chirp chirp chirp?" Officer Gu, what do you need me for?

Huang Qun's bright little eyes darted back and forth between Gu Yiliu and the two woodpeckers.

It now found Officer Gu even more amazing. With this realization, it was even happier; it hadn't come to the wrong person, and Officer Gu would definitely be able to help it solve its problem.

It covered its mouth and smiled, its eyes crinkling.

Gu Yiliu: "There are many wood-flowering insects in this tree hole. You two do me a favor and eat all the insects inside."

"Chirp chirp!"

OK!

Two woodpeckers darted into the tree hole, and a "ding-ding-ding" sound rang out as they began their work.

Ten minutes later, two woodpeckers came out.

In front of Gu Yiliu and the squirrel, he let out a big burp.

"belch!"

A woodpecker patted its round belly with its wing and exclaimed, "So full!"

"Chirp chirp chirp." Officer Gu, we've finished eating all the bugs. If you'll call us again next time there's something like this, then we'll be going now.

Gu Yiliu smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you."

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Thanks, Bird Bro!!

Huang Qun quickly clasped his hands in a bow and thanked him in a simple and honest manner.

The two woodpeckers nodded in unison, preened their feathers with their beaks, spread their wings, and flew away.

Gu Yiliu looked at the 1% positive review score that had already been credited to her account; she now had a 44% positive review score.

She said goodbye to the squirrel, "Then I'm leaving too."

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Goodbye, Officer Gu!

Huang Qun waved her little hand, and only after watching Gu Yiliu disappear from sight did she excitedly return to the tree hole.

Its tree hole is finally free of insects!

Gu Yiliu finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he returned to his rented room.

"Working like crazy, the positive review rate is only 44%."

Dian Dian sighed as well, "Yi Liu, I know you've worked hard, I'm not in a hurry." As it spoke, it brought out a cup of milk tea and held it to Gu Yi Liu's lips.

Gu Yiliu touched Diandian's head, and was stunned as soon as he touched it, as he could feel a real sensation under his palm.

She looked at Dian Dian in surprise.

Dian Dian whispered excitedly, "A clone! It's a clone!"

"Oh," Gu Yiliu heard a sound at the door and quickly withdrew his hand, taking a big sip of the milk tea in his hand. "Take it back quickly!"

Just as Dian Dian put the milk tea away, Han Yi walked in through the door.

Han Yi looked at her, paused, and asked, "What are you doing? You look so nervous?"

Gu Yiliu touched his face. "Really?"

"I'm chatting with the system," she said calmly.

Han Yi understood. "Finished with work?"

Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement.

Han Yi sat down next to her. "There's a case I need your help with."

"you say."

Han Yi: "Our station is currently investigating a drug trafficking case. We haven't caught the people yet, but some dogs were left at the scene. We've run out of leads, but then we thought of you. Maybe the breakthrough will be with those dogs."

"You'll get a reward for helping me solve the case, at least 100 yuan."

Without hesitation, Gu Yiliu made the decision, "Okay, I'll help."
