Chapter 188: Familiar Suspect (Illustration Warning) Xia Zhining searched for several images of gray hoodies on her phone, lowered the brightness, and placed them in front of Hong Xun:

"Was the person who injured you wearing a gray hoodie like this?"

Kestrel's head was resting weakly on the pillow, only his round eyes were moving with the screen.

It nodded its head imperceptibly and said in a weak voice: [Yes, it’s this grayish color…]

Hong Jian took a breath and said, "It was a very tall human male... who got out of a black car..."

[The car dropped him off at the park wall and then... drove away.]

The narration is fragmented: [I saw him climbing over the wall with his backpack on his back, and I was a little curious... so I took a second look...]

[Then, he... took out a huge white kite from his bag.]

Kestrel's eyes widened slightly. [There was also a... small black box tied to the kite.]

"A small black box?" Xia Zhining lowered her voice, almost whispering, "That's most likely the ignition device."

The kestrel chirped in grievance and tried to move, but it agitated the wound, so it had to lie there obediently.

[It’s all my fault for loving to watch the fun…]

[This man was flying a kite, so I craned my neck to take a look.]

Xia Zhining nodded in understanding.

After all, this is a national second-class protected animal. Who would dare to provoke a bird of prey?

[Usually, when people see me, they hold up their phones and chatter away, staying as far away from me as possible.]

[Who knows this bad guy! ]

Hong Jian suddenly got angry. [He saw me and actually hit me with a steel ball!]

My flying skills have never been very good...

It hung its head, its voice growing fainter and fainter. [If anyone didn't dodge, he'd hit them...]

Xia Zhining touched the fur on its neck lovingly and smoothed its coat.

Kestrel (homonymous with bamboo shoots)

This kestrel seems to be much more docile than other birds of prey.

Xia Zhining asked, "After that bad guy knocked you down from the sky, did he still want to attack you?"

Hong Kusto nodded: "Yes! When he walked towards me, the group of old men and women in the park who always loved to play music and sing came over."

[He ran away quickly!]

[Hmph, probably because he did something bad and feels guilty.]

Xia Zhining took out the charcoal pencil and sketch pad and drew the suspect's appearance based on Hong Xun's description.

She always felt that judging from the facial features, this person looked familiar.

After finding out the location where the suspect climbed over the wall, Xia Zhining immediately contacted Ji Shuyun.

"Brother, check if there was a black car passing by the southwest side of the small park half an hour before the fire!"

"The kestrel said the suspect injured it and came to deal with it."

"But I got scared away by the sound of the senior choir that often rehearses in the park."

Xia Zhining sent the portrait of the suspect that she had drawn.

Ji Shuyun immediately agreed: "Okay, give it to me."

Hang up the phone.

Xia Zhining suppressed her anticipation and fed Hong Kun a few drops of water through the syringe: "You should have a good rest."

"We human police will catch the bad guys who hurt you!"

Kestrel huddled up in a ball: [Man, I believe in you!]

Xia Zhining saw that the red kestrel's black eyes were staring at her without blinking, and guessed that the little guy must be hungry.

So I took out the prepared hospital meal and fed it with toothpick-thick strips of meat.
