Chapter 107 Border Collie

Meow...

With a cat's meow, Coal Ash rushed in from outside the house, leaped onto Xia Mufan's shoulder, and rubbed her face like crazy.

[Ah, Xia Xia, you're back! 】

You’ve been gone for a long time. 】

[I miss you so much.] 】

Xia Mufan was very happy to see Coal Ash. He stood up from his mother's arms, pulled it off his shoulders and held it in his arms, rubbing its little head hard: "Coal Ash, long time no see, are you good at home?"

With the coal ash, Xia Mufan suddenly forgot about Gu Shaoqi and started talking to it. Anyway, Gu Shaoqi knew that she had the ability to communicate with animals, so there was no need to hide it.

"Soot, do you know that I almost brought you a playmate? What a beautiful Persian cat, with two different colored eyes, one blue-green and one sky blue. Very beautiful."

"Haha, don't be so stingy. You are the most beautiful in my eyes."

Xu Shumei was busy in the kitchen, and from time to time there could be heard the sounds of the kitchen knife cutting on the chopping board and the spatula scratching the iron pot, clanging and clanging.

Gu Shaoqi sat upright on the sofa, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen from time to time. Looking at Xia Mufan's beautiful smile and Mei Hui's chirping, his heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, warm and lazy.

It’s like a lonely traveler walking in the desert, and suddenly an oasis with a lake appears in front of him.

It was also like a passerby who was about to freeze to death, and suddenly a pile of burning firewood appeared in front of him.

This is the taste of home.

At this moment, Gu Shaoqi's long-lonely heart finally tore a crack, and a vine grew out, trying to quietly entwine Xia Muchan.

Three people and one cat enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

Although Gu Shaoqi is serious at work and doesn't communicate much with his colleagues, he can still speak to people's hearts if he wants to.

"Stir-fried pork with peppers is the most classic Hunan dish. I didn't expect the aunt's cooking skills to be so superb. The green peppers are crisp and sweet, the black beans are fragrant, the meat slices are salty, fragrant and tender, and the oil aroma is tangy. It's really delicious."

“Fresh water spinach fried with minced garlic and oil residue is delicious.”

“…”

The living room was too small to accommodate a dining table, so the meals Xu Shumei prepared were placed on the low coffee table. Gu Shaoqi has long arms and legs, so he has to bend over to eat.

Even though he felt a little aggrieved, Gu Shaoqi still had a smile on his face. He praised all the dishes on the table, whether it was fried eggs with green onions or stir-fried beans.

Xu Shumei was so flattered by his praise that she kept putting food into his bowl: "If it's delicious, eat more. Don't be polite. Just treat it as your own home."

Gu Shaoqi naturally finished all the food that Xu Shumei put into the bowl, with an expression of great enjoyment.

Xia Mufan was once again shocked by the scene before his eyes. Why did he feel like his territory was being invaded?

If she were Coal Ash, she would definitely wave her claws and hit her!

However, the person in front of her is Gu Shaoqi, a well-known forensic doctor in the provincial and ministerial expert database, who knows her secret and has been helping her uncle.

Xia Mufan took a big handful of the fried pork with pepper and put it into the bowl, then ate it with the rice. His cheeks suddenly felt full.

Forget it, I can only turn sadness into appetite. I eat more and he eats less.

Gu Shaoqi saw from the corner of his eye that Xia Mufan's cheeks were bulging like a little hamster, so cute that his heart was touched.

Such a wonderful time, he will try harder to keep it.

The apprenticeship banquet on the second day was not as grand as Xu Shumei had imagined.

Except for Ling Feng, who is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the rest are Yue Yuan's close friends. There are criminal police from the public security system, teachers from the police academy, and businessmen who resigned to start their own businesses.

Yue Yuan’s wife’s surname is Nie, Nie Hanmei. She has a gentle personality and works in the Hui City Cultural Bureau.

Hearing that Xu Shumei had published some poems, Nie Hanmei became very interested and whispered with Xu Shumei about writing. Xu Shumei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

It turns out that you can join the Writers Association through writing? As long as you have published works in provincial pure literature journals, or have published a large number of works in low-level newspapers and periodicals, and you are truly passionate about creation, you can join?

Xu Shumei asked cautiously, "Sister Hanmei, I just published a short poem in Qingquan Magazine. Do I meet the requirements to apply?"

Nie Hanmei smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Of course I meet the requirements. Qingquan is a national-level pure literature magazine. Being able to publish a poem already shows that your literary level is very high. How about this, you come to me on Monday and I will help you apply."

Xu Shumei finally found the organization and sat next to Nie Hanmei all night with a happy smile on her face.

Yue Yuan solemnly introduced Xia Mufan and also handed over his own network of contacts to her.

Xia Mufan received a lot of gifts when he met her.

The gifts are varied.

There are study treasures, pendant ornaments, membership cards, discount cards and the like.

The gift given by Gu Shaoqi was quite unique.

It was a big box of imported candy.

It was a really big box, a large iron box with embossed artistic paintings, and the diameter was estimated to be about 60 centimeters.

When I opened the box, I saw it was divided into seven compartments. The candies were wrapped in beautiful glass candy paper, like a rainbow, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and the aroma of sugar was fragrant.

Gu Shaoqi remembered that Xia Mufan liked to eat candy.

When she saw the candy, the little flames in her eyes lit up especially brightly.

The Friendship Department Store in the provincial capital sells imported candies. The last time Gu Shaoqi went to the provincial department to do some business, he brought back this big box. This box of candies has a lot of content and a variety of varieties, including chocolate with liquor filling, candies with fruit juice filling, and crisp candies...

Seeing Xia Mufan’s shining eyes, Gu Shaoqi felt very happy.

Sure enough, this is the happiness of feeding.

After dinner, Gu Shaoqi drove Xu Shumei and Xia Muchan home from Qingming Hotel.

The cool evening breeze blew in through the car window. Xia Mufan was holding a pile of gifts with a slight smile on his face. Today’s apprenticeship banquet was really fruitful.

Xia Mufan's attention was suddenly attracted by a figure in front of him.

It was a border collie.

The street lights were not very bright, but you could see that this Border Collie was black and white, with shiny fur and beautiful running posture. Looking around it, Xia Mufan didn't see any pedestrian walking the dog.

Why is such a wonderful dog running alone on the road so late at night?

Where is its owner?

Gu Shaoqi drove very steadily, with his hands on the steering wheel and his eyes looking straight ahead.

Because of his profession, he never drinks. Even at the most lively banquet, tea is served instead of wine.

Noticing Xia Mufan's gaze, Gu Shaoqi slowed down the car and gradually approached the Border Collie.

Xia Mufan stuck his head out of the car window and whistled at the Border Collie.

disease--

The whistle made the Border Collie pause slightly.

After running for a long time, it stuck out its tongue and made a wheezing sound from its mouth.

[Rui Rui!] 】

[Save Ruirui!] 】

[Run quickly and catch up——]

Xia Mufan's heart tightened, and his voice became hurried unconsciously: "Wait a minute, what is this dog chasing? It seems that one of his people has been taken away."

Gu Shaoqi's professional vigilance allowed him to react quickly. Could it be that a child was abducted?

He quickly and lightly stepped on the brakes to maintain the same speed as the Border Collie, making it easier for Xia Mufan to communicate with it.

Xia Mufan raised his voice and asked, "Are you chasing the car or the person?"

The Border Collie is still running desperately.

However, it turned its head and looked at Xia Mufan, with a hint of surprise in its human-like eyes.

[Car chase!] 】

[Some bad guys killed my master and took away the one-year-old little master. 】

【Help! 】

Xia Mufan frowned and said, "How far is it? Get in the car, I'll take you to catch up."

Murder! Child trafficking case!

The case that happened in Hui City happened right under our noses. How hateful!

The Border Collie had been running for a while, panting and sniffing, and suddenly a mournful cry came from his throat, his front legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Xia Mufan was startled and shouted: "Stop the car, stop the car!"

Gu Shaoqi knew her magical powers, so he stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.

The Border Collie lay on the ground, his big eyes filled with tears.

[I can’t smell it anymore.] 】

[The smell is gone.] 】

[I lost my little master...]

Xia Mufan got out of the car decisively and squatted beside Bian Mu: "Get in the car, it's fast, we'll take you to look for it together."

Border Collie turned his head and looked at Xia Mufan.

The man and the dog looked at each other for a second.

There was an aura about Xia Mufan that made the animals feel at ease and trustworthy. The Border Collie let down his guard, stood up, and rushed into the back seat of the car.

"Drive! Drive along this road."

Gu Shaoqi didn't say a word. He immediately started the car and started tracking the Border Collie.

Drive along Chenguang Avenue and you will see a branch road after a while.

Whenever a branch road appeared, Gu Shaoqi would slow down and wait for Xia Mufan to give instructions.

"Turn left."

"Turn right."

"No, go back."

Border Collie stuck his head out of the car window, sniffed, and tried to catch the remaining scent in the air.

But……

After the car drove for half an hour, Border Collie lay on the seat and began to sob sadly.

[Lost it.] 】

[Gone!] 】

「Wuwuwu……」

Only then did Xia Mufan realize that this Border Collie was only seven or eight months old and still a child.

It had been running for so long and was already exhausted. Its master was killed and its little master was taken away, which made it extremely painful. Seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, it could no longer hold on and began to cry.

Tears fell one by one.

His big eyes were full of grievance.

Xia Mufan stroked its head with some concern and asked softly, "How about we go back, check the scene, and find the police?"

【go home! 】

The Border Collie suddenly woke up, raised its front legs and half sat up, pricked up its ears alertly, and looked around.

It was dark outside the window, the street lamps were shining, and the lights were on in the buildings along the road.

The Border Collie then burst into tears.

[I can’t find my home.] 】

Where is my home? 】

「Wuwuwu……」

It was normal for a seven or eight-month-old Border Collie to cry when encountering something. Xia Mufan saw it crying pitifully and could only pat its head: "Don't cry, we will help you."

The Border Collie stopped crying, tilted its head naively, and stared at Xia Mufan with its big, bright black eyes, seeming a little confused.

【Who are you? 】

Why help me? 】

Xia Mufan said: "My name is Xia Mufan, I'm a policeman."

【police? 】

The Border Collie immediately wagged its tail.

[My name is Xue Gao, my master’s name is Bai Jiaying, my little master’s name is Rui Rui, and we live in Xingfuli Community. 】

Xia Mufan breathed a sigh of relief. With the name and address, he could find the crime scene.
