Chapter 214: Unpleasant Scream
Before Si Chen could react and answer, Lin Ting had disappeared.
Si Chen did not chase Lin Ting, but stayed where he was, using the cover of the green belt to observe every move in the villa.
At the same time, Lin Ting finally found a rat hole after drilling through several green belts.
When she went out, she didn't expect to go into the green belt and didn't bring any mosquito repellent. There are many mosquitoes in summer, and even in the green belt of a high-end villa, mosquitoes are unavoidable in this season.
Fortunately, she asked the small system to turn on the anti-mosquito function in advance, so she was not bitten by mosquitoes.
I've been watching this rat hole for some time, and I'm not sure if there are still any rats inside.
The aroma of regular food is not enough to attract mice.
Lin Ting took the leftover roast duck bones from the disposable packaging box and placed them on the lawn. Then she hid aside and waited for the mouse to come out.
"Can you help me check if there are any other animal traces nearby?"
The small system that was playing in the System World forum was instantly called back by Lin Ting.
【After testing, we found signs of animal activity nearby.】
As long as there are animals, it's fine.
It's better than her waiting here for a long time just to feed mosquitoes and end up waiting in vain.
The rosy glow in the sky completely dissipated, and the sky gradually darkened as time passed.
Lin Ting sat on the grass, holding his chin with one hand and grabbing the grass with the other, staring quietly at the mouse hole not far away.
More than ten minutes later, there was finally a noise coming from the cave entrance.
Woo
"What a nice smell."
"It smells so good, it's the smell of roast duck, which rats love."
The mouse did not come out immediately. Instead, it popped its head out of the hole and looked around. After making sure it was safe, it hurried out, picked up a piece of duck meat and started eating.
"Hello, how are you." Lin Ting greeted the little mouse from a distance.
The little mouse, who was concentrating on eating, was startled and the duck meat in his hand fell to the ground in an instant.
"You're about to be caught by humans, run away."
"But this human smells so nice."
The little mouse, halfway through the run, couldn't help but stop because of curiosity, and observed Lin Ting carefully from a distance.
"Don't worry, I won't catch you. I just want to ask you something. I'll use the duck meat you like in exchange. Also, I have some delicious beef jerky here, I can give it to you." Lin Ting took out a bag of dried meat from her pocket and placed it in front of the little mouse. Fearing that the little mouse would not believe her, she opened a bag to make sure that the smell could float out for the little mouse to smell.
The little mouse observed for a long time, and after making sure that the human in front of it was not dangerous, it slowly came over, chewing on the beef jerky that Lin Ting had given it, while barking incoherently.
"If humans want to ask Shushu about something, Shushu is the intelligence officer of this area. No matter what it is, I know it."
"That house hasn't been occupied by humans for a long time. What are those people who recently moved in doing?"
The little mouse did not answer Lin Ting's question immediately, as if it was thinking.
"I don't know what it does, but it's quite mysterious. When it first arrived, it kept digging nearby, even better than a rat. It seemed like it was burying something."
"After digging the hole, they like to come out at night even more than rats do."
"The rat had no idea what they were doing. Before the rat got close, the yard would start to emit electric shocks. Curious, the rat dug a hole and went in to take a look. They put some white powder in the room and packed it into boxes, which they kept in the basement."
"The two men were responsible for loading the powder at night, and the woman in the villa would drive out to deliver the powder. As for where she delivered it, Shushu didn't know."
'Every night that woman goes out, and after a while that woman goes out again.'
It doesn't sound like a legitimate business, but more like trafficking in nationally banned substances.
Which good person would not work during the day but at night? He even delivers goods late at night when there is no one around. The place he chooses is the villa that was previously haunted. The residents of the nearby villas will not come because of the rumors about the villa, and ordinary people from outside cannot get in at all.
The villa complex here is inhabited by people with assets worth tens of millions, and the property management is extremely strict. If you are not an owner or resident of this community, you cannot enter at all unless the owner calls them to let you in.
The reason they were able to come in was because they used Si Chen’s police officer ID, so the property manager had to let them in to investigate.
Serious business probably wouldn't go to this place, and it's so mysterious.
"Why are there no other small animals nearby?" Lin Ting asked the question in his mind. Not only around this villa, but since they came in, as long as they looked carefully, they would notice that there were no stray animals in the entire community.
Stray animals do not distinguish between high-end and low-end residential areas. There are many stray animals in the villa area where Zhou Tong and his family live, and there are usually people in the community who feed these stray animals.
Si Chen just sent her the latest news.
While she was hunting for rats, Si Chen contacted the property manager of the residential complex and asked about the stray cats and dogs in the community.
The property manager said that they had never driven away these stray animals. On the contrary, many caring people in the community went back to feed these stray animals. Until a month ago, the stray animals in the community suddenly disappeared. Therefore, the owners of the community even came to the property to ask if they had driven away the animals. They were also wronged.
Later, some people even suspected that they had encountered animal abuse.
Their property management even checked the community surveillance and found that the small animals were not driven away by anyone, but walked away on their own.
Perhaps the little mouse knows the reason.
"Because it makes such an unpleasant noise every night, it's giving people and animals headaches. All the stray cats and dogs have moved away, and even the nearby sparrows have flown away on their own."
"Now that those stinky rat-catchers are gone, the rats are actually safer. They can dig tunnels and live farther away at night, and come back during the day. There won't be any unpleasant noises during the day anyway. There are so many delicious foods here, it would be a shame to leave."
"An unpleasant and strange sound?" Lin Ting's face was full of confusion.
What makes those weird, unpleasant noises?
Only stray animals feel anything, while humans have no effect.
If humans had an impact, the owners of this community would have complained long ago.
Were they deliberately driving away the little animals to guard against her, or was there some other reason?
Her cooperation with the police has never been made public. Even if she has been on some hot searches before, that was just credible. Many people are taking a wait-and-see attitude. If it is not directed at her, then these strange noises must have other reasons, and they just happen to affect the animals.
Her intuition told her that these strange noises were related to the three people who moved into the villa.
