Chapter 725: The Situation is Serious
The team leader nodded: "Later, I had someone bribe the nanny's daughter-in-law with money and workspace. She then told me that in Xiao Jie's room, there was a darkroom filled with small animals, cats, dogs, and the like, many of which had severed fingers or limbs, and were missing tongues or ears. At the time, Xiao Jie was skinning them and forgot to close the darkroom door, which the nanny saw! The nanny's screams terrified the whole family, and she was subsequently fired. To keep her quiet, we offered her a job and helped her arrange a school, etc., so the nanny kept quiet. However, she still told her son and daughter-in-law, because after giving them so many things, she was afraid her son would misunderstand that she was having an affair with her employer."
Zhou Wansheng: "...You found it so easily?"
The captain smiled and nodded: "It was mainly good luck. One of Xiao Jie's partners was studying psychology. During the summer before his senior year of high school, they were secretly treating him. Fearing something might happen, his family stopped him from continuing to abuse animals. So, during his freshman year of college, his personality changed. But as you know, that kind of illness is incurable. For so many years, his family didn't care and let him abuse animals. How could they possibly see him suffer later? After getting this lead, I had an idea. You know, we've seen all kinds of people abroad. We've even seen people more perverted than Xiao Jie. So, we followed our instincts and investigated Xiao Jie's grandfather's own laboratory. After a thorough investigation, we found that the mice and other animals in their laboratory were being consumed very quickly and in large quantities."
Zhou Wansheng narrowed his eyes: "You suspect that his family allowed him to vent his frustrations during experiments?"
The captain nodded: "Thinking a little deeper, could they also... you know, with that kind of disease, animals can no longer satisfy their desires!"
Zhou Wansheng hissed, "Impossible! This is an inhumane act! How could Xiao Jie's family agree to something so serious? And the country wouldn't allow it! If it's discovered, the consequences will be more than Xiao Jie can bear! Besides, in our country, even something as simple as a cotton swab must have its purpose and where it's stored after use clearly stated. How could he do this under such strict conditions!"
Even Gu Yin's own lab, the lab in their factory, is registered! And everything consumed has to be recorded, with inspections happening from time to time! The regulations in China are very strict about this!
"He probably hasn't reached that point yet. During our investigation, we also discovered that one of his roommates also got a job at a state-owned enterprise, but that roommate's grades weren't good. He claimed that his family had pulled some strings, but after the nanny's family was fired, he was also fired. I heard from others that after being fired, he even had a fight with Xiao Jie. In other words, he was still abusing animals until graduation, and then his roommate found out and used it to blackmail him! And have you noticed that every time Xiao Diao sees Xiao Jie, he bares his teeth at him and reacts very agitatedly? Although this isn't allowed in China, it still happens abroad! I'm a little suspicious of him."
Zhou Wansheng shook his head: "I haven't paid attention to the little sable, as for..." He really hadn't noticed it.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!! Whoosh!!!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhou Wansheng and the captain stood up, and then they saw Little Mink scratching at Xiao Jie's head! Xiao Jie's expression was beyond bad; his face was full of ferocity, completely different from his usual shy and innocent self!
"Little Mink! Come here!" Zhou Wansheng called out.
Upon hearing the sound, Little Marten immediately jumped off Little Jie's head and ran towards Zhou Wansheng!
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Jie lowered his head to hide the fierceness in his eyes. After tidying his hair, he looked at Zhou Wansheng, who was approaching, and said aggrievedly, "Mr. Zhou, this little ferret is, after all, a wild animal. It has no humanity and has not been trained. Wild animals are still very dangerous. Today it grabbed my hair, what if it grabbed my eyes tomorrow? An animal is still an animal. No matter how good we are to it, it will forget it in the end! I think it's better for it to come here less often, or we can lock it up first and let it out when it behaves. What do you think?"
Zhou Wansheng smiled without changing his expression: "The little ferret is cute and intelligent. It never catches anyone else, so I don't know why it only catches you. It's like it's facing an enemy! But I don't agree with what you said. Wild animals are the real animals. This is their home, and we have invaded their home! It's fine that they don't mind, but why are you thinking of driving them away? Isn't that a bit unfair? And why does it only catch you and not anyone else? Did you do something to it?"
Xiao Jie's lips stiffened: "Mr. Zhou is joking. I love animals the most, how could I possibly bully them?"
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "That's good. Little Mink, let's go."
The little ferret chirped at Xiao Jie a few times before following Zhou Wansheng away.
As Xiao Jie watched their departing figures, he was about to squint when he saw the captain looking in their direction from not far away. He could only exhale forcefully, shrug his shoulders, and give the captain a helpless, bitter smile.
The captain smiled and shook his head.
As Zhou Wansheng entered the room, he said, "We won't get involved in this. You should tell Chief Duan Chunsheng about this situation later. After that, don't worry about it. Tell Ayin not to worry about it either. I'm afraid he might do something bad in desperation. By the way, from now on, you should stay with Ayin every step of the way! Except in the laboratory."
The captain nodded upon hearing this: "I'll go find Duan Chunjie right now!" He then quickly went downstairs and headed towards the lake.
He was really looking forward to Duan Chunjie's reaction after he found out about this!
Watching the other person's excited back, Zhou Wansheng thought, "......." Aren't you getting excited too soon?
