Chapter 10 The Discovery at the Chicken Farm
Gu Yiliu eventually went ahead with the lottery.
She drew a 10-pound bag of rice.
Gu Yiliu looked at the prizes and then at the system.
The latter smiled sweetly at her, "This should be enough for you to eat for two months, host."
Gu Yiliu: "I'm still not used to it. Why did you suddenly change like this?"
"I think the host is right. It is Dian Dian who needs the host's help, not the host who should help Dian Dian with chores. I hope the host can forgive me and not ignore me."
Gu Yiliu understood; it seemed the system had taken his criticism to heart. Having received the rice, Gu Yiliu was in a very good mood and decided not to hold it against it.
They made up just like that, one person and one system.
The next day, after finishing his work at noon, Gu Yiliu went to the Chengxi Police Station in Dongshan County to find Han Yi. He had been assigned to this police station.
The other person was having lunch and seemed surprised to see her.
Gu Yiliu glanced at his colleagues in the office. "I need to talk to you about something."
Han Yi closed the lunchbox, wiped his mouth, got up and walked out of the office before asking her, "What's wrong? Tell me."
"Have you found that chicken thief from yesterday?"
Han Yi shook his head, "No, we are still investigating. We haven't found any useful physical evidence left at the scene yet, so it will take some time."
“I can help you find it,” Gu Yiliu said.
Han Yi's deep gaze went straight to her, taking in her clear and flawless face. He looked at the small mole at the corner of her eye, his voice like rolling beads, "You want to help me?"
"You helped me too, so it's only fair to return the favor," Gu Yiliu said. She kept the money she received yesterday for living expenses and used the rest to pay off her tuition.
"Thank you. Do you have any ideas on how to find the chicken thief?"
That means you've agreed.
"Take me to the scene."
Seeing her earnest and determined expression, Han Yi swallowed the words he was about to say. "Okay, this afternoon or tomorrow?"
"Go after you finish eating."
Han Yi hummed in agreement. "Have you had lunch yet?"
Gu Yiliu nodded and waved to him, "I've eaten. Don't worry about me, go eat."
Han Yi nodded, his gaze lingering on the small mole at the corner of her eye for a moment before he looked around the police station courtyard, his expression suggestive, "You're planning to wait for me here?"
Gu Yiliu also looked around. The infrastructure of the Chengxi Police Station was not perfect. Although the police station was large, there was not a single shady place in the courtyard. It was scorching hot and uncomfortable to stay there for a long time.
"Go wait in the office." Han Yi said without waiting for her to refuse and walked towards the office.
After walking for a while, she realized that Gu Yiliu hadn't followed, so she turned around to look at her.
"Alright."
Hearing her seemingly reluctant reply, Han Yi didn't react much. Only after she caught up did he walk alongside her.
Han Yi led her to his desk and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
"Whatever, don't worry about me."
Gu Yiliu casually replied, looking around curiously.
When three pairs of probing eyes saw her looking over, they all turned their heads away in unison.
Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow and took the initiative to greet them, "Hello, I am Gu Yiliu, Han Yi's classmate at the Police Academy."
A policeman in uniform chuckled, his manner particularly friendly. "Oh, you're classmates! What a coincidence that you've been assigned to the same place. We're his colleagues. My name is You Guang, his name is Wang Wu, and this is Zheng Hanbao."
Gu Yiliu couldn't help but smile when he heard the last name. "Hello."
Just then, Han Yi brought her some water. "What are you saying that makes you laugh so happily?"
He placed the water glass in front of her and sat down beside her. His long legs had nowhere to go, and if he moved even slightly, they would touch Gu Yiliu's knees. "It's the same Jin Jun Mei tea as last time. I don't think you don't like it, so I poured you some tea again."
Hearing his words, You Guang and the others across from him exchanged glances discreetly. This Jin Jun Mei tea was Han Yi's personal product. Of course, Han Yi himself had given the institute a can of tea, but it wasn't Jin Jun Mei.
What surprised them now was that Han Yi was serving his own tea to the female comrades. This was somewhat unusual. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they all knew that Han Yi had a strong sense of boundaries; he wouldn't casually share his things, nor would he readily accept things from others.
The next second, I heard Han Yi say something.
"The teacup is the same one you used last time."
The group exchanged glances. This teacup also belonged to Han Yi. Hearing Han Yi say that Gu Yiliu had also come to the institute for tea last time and used the same teacup, the group tacitly looked away, but they all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop and secretly kept an eye on the people opposite them.
Gu Yiliu said "oh," picked up her tea and took a sip, then urged him, "Go eat." Actually, she felt the office was too quiet and the atmosphere too awkward. She glanced at You Guang and the others across from her and could tell that their minds weren't on eating.
Who eats while holding their chopsticks up and chewing air?
She glanced at Han Yi beside her, took another sip of tea, and silently moved her chair.
The four people opposite are definitely curious about her relationship with Han Yi, and they're all quietly watching the drama unfold.
Han Yi paused for a moment when he saw her movement, then reopened the lunchbox and began to eat.
"You Guang, after we finish eating, let's go to Hemu Village with Gu Yiliu."
You Guang suddenly looked up, his mouth moving faster than his brain, and agreed, "Okay."
However, he quickly became curious about Gu Yiliu's purpose in going to Hemu Village. But he didn't ask. He'd find out when he got there.
Han Yi and You Guang finished lunch quickly. After Han Yi finished eating, he said he was going to wash the lunchbox, but Gu Yiliu saw him go back to the dormitory after washing the lunchbox and then go out again.
You Guang came over and explained to her that Hemu Village was some distance from the Chengxi Police Station.
There is a bicycle in the police station that is usually used for responding to calls. Han Yi has his own bicycle, and the police station occasionally requisitions Han Yi's bicycle, so he went to ride his bicycle now.
You Guang chuckled, "His maternal grandmother's house is just across the street from the police station."
Gu Yiliu nodded but didn't reply.
When Han Yi returned, he was indeed riding a bicycle, a classic old-fashioned eight-inch model.
You Guang propped up his pedals and rode away first. He tacitly agreed that Gu Yiliu would ride in Han Yi's car.
Han Yi looked at Gu Yiliu.
Gu Yiliu didn't hesitate and walked over.
The back seat was a bit high, so Gu Yiliu glanced at Han Yi, reached out and put his hand on Han Yi's shoulder, then stood up slightly to sit down.
As a result, Han Yi didn't know what happened. Before she could even sit properly, the front of the car veered to the side, and she almost fell off. Her hand, which was on his shoulder, instinctively gripped him tightly.
With his veins bulging, Han Yi gripped the handlebars firmly, stabilizing the bike. His apologetic voice came from ahead, "Sorry."
"We can go now." Gu Yiliu looked at the back of his head, took his hands off his shoulders, and instead gripped the sides of the car seat.
Han Yi nodded.
They quickly caught up with You Guang and arrived at Hemu Village at top speed.
The owner of the chicken farm is named Qian Yijun. His chicken farm is located halfway up the mountain and is very well-organized, with chicken coops and straw sheds visible everywhere.
Han Yi told Qian Yijun to look for clues, so the group started walking around the chicken farm.
You Guang nudged Han Yi, "Brother Yi, wasn't the chicken farm inspected twice already?"
He waited for Han Yi to speak after he finished speaking, but Han Yi never came.
You Guang looked up and found Han Yi staring blankly ahead, his gaze unfocused.
Following his gaze, You Guang slowly fixed it on Gu Yiliu, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face.
"Brother Yi!" You Guang shook him awake.
Han Yi turned to look at him, "Just wait."
After speaking, he smoothed his slightly wrinkled uniform shirt and quickly walked over to Gu Yiliu's side.
Yu Guang was left standing there alone. So Han Yi could hear what he was saying!
Gu Yiliu was communicating with the system, which was very excited. "Host, so many chickens!" Dian Dian seemed to see a scene of overwhelmingly positive reviews.
"Go tell the chickens that you're going to find the chicken thief. Let them know you can understand them so they can activate the alarm system."
"I see." Gu Yiliu had been waiting for the system to issue a task since she arrived here, and she obviously knew that these chickens could get a lot of positive reviews.
Gu Yiliu suddenly stopped, grabbed a chicken, and said, "Little chicken, can you tell me who's been stealing chickens lately?"
The next second, Gu Yiliu heard, "Who's the chick? I'm five years old already, and I've laid thousands of eggs!"
"Wow, you've laid so many eggs! Can you tell me who the chicken thief is? And when does he usually come to steal the chickens?"
The hen she was holding was startled. She looked at her with her clear chicken eyes and clucked, "No way, this human can understand what I'm saying? Even the boss can't understand me, how is that possible?"
"You can try to explain it to me and see if I can understand you," Gu Yiliu said, raising an eyebrow.
"Cluck!" This human can actually understand me! The hen clucked in surprise, and the surrounding chickens quickly became restless, walking towards Gu Yiliu from all directions.
Gu Yiliu looked at the chickens around him, his scalp tingling.
"Host, don't panic. Make that chicken talk and calm the other chickens down."
"Officer, officer, I know when the chicken thief came!"
"I know! I'll tell you!"
Gu Yiliu had nowhere to retreat. She felt her foot step on something, her face froze, her foot went awry, and she staggered, dropping the chicken she was holding to the side.
"Host, be careful!"
"Officer, watch out..."
A large hand reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist in time, preventing her from falling.
Gu Yiliu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, that hand did not let go for a long time.
Gu Yiliu looked at Han Yi with a puzzled expression, and the latter looked at her with surprise as well.
Let go!
Han Yi glanced at the wrist he was holding, then looked at the restless flock of chickens.
My heart trembled violently.
Han Yi gripped her wrist even tighter as the wrist swayed slightly in his palm.
Although the chickens were restless, they didn't continue forward when they saw Gu Yiliu almost fall. Instead, they backed away and chirped about their grievances.
"Officer, chicken thieves come to the chicken farm at night to steal chickens. They are from the village. There are two of them, a man and a woman. Every time they come, in addition to taking eggs, they also steal a chicken."
"They'll definitely roast them and eat them; those chickens that were stolen are so pitiful!"
"Yeah, it's so tragic. As long as we lay eggs, the boss won't eat us, and we can live for a very long time."
Gu Yiliu didn't care that his hand was being held.
"What time are you coming tonight?"
“At 3 o’clock every time I come here, the rooster that the owner keeps will crow.”
