When the judge announced the verdict, Zhu Hao compensated Xiao He for the pet's medical treatment expenses and feeding expenses for the past six months, and when William was returned to Zhu Hao as an inheritance, the faces of the people sitting opposite him were full of smiles.
Brother Jian's face became extremely gloomy and ugly, and he wished he could rush over and bite Zhu Hao and his group alive.
The courtroom was in an uproar, with people on the opposite side cheering and celebrating. Several spectators quickly ran out, ready to report the incident on the news as soon as possible.
Xiao He had a premonition. Seeing the bailiff in charge of executing the verdict walking towards them, ready to take William away, she bent down slightly and looked at William beside her.
Although the judge had solemnly warned Zhu Hao to treat William well in the future when he pronounced the verdict just now, Xiao He was still worried.
She whispered, "William, remember what I told you? Don't attack other creatures casually. However, if you sense hostility from the other party, you must fight back immediately to protect yourself."
William's blue eyes were filled with confusion and ignorance, as if he had no idea what was going on.
Soon, the police came over.
"Ms. Xiao He, we are taking this dog away and returning it to the plaintiff."
After saying that, he took the dog leash from her hand.
At the moment of the handover, confusion suddenly appeared in William's confused eyes. The usually calm and composed wolfhound suddenly became anxious and struggled to run to Xiao He, but was held tightly by the bailiff and walked step by step towards Zhu Hao.
Before, once William got close to Zhu Hao, he would immediately enter combat mode and attack him, but today, it seemed as if it didn't notice at all, and all its attention was on Xiao He.
A pair of blue eyes looked at her anxiously, constantly standing up, as if waiting for Xiao He to take it back.
The tail behind it hangs low, not making a whining sound to call.
But Xiao He just stood there without moving.
Zhu Hao was ecstatic at this time, but he still didn't dare to approach William. Instead, he specially hired a dog trainer to take the wolfhound over.
He walked up to Xiao He, arrogant and with a smug look in his eyes.
"I'll transfer the medical expenses to you later, but from now on, I hope you won't have any contact with my dog. You two will have no relationship from now on."
After saying that, he turned to the others and said excitedly:
"Let's go back. I can't wait to have a good look at my dog."
A group of people left in a crowd.
The dog trainer walked at the end, holding William.
Even now, William has been looking in Xiao He's direction. As the distance between them grows farther and farther, he becomes more and more impatient.
As soon as the car door was closed, it jumped up again, lay on the car window, and stared at Xiao He through the glass.
Seeing this scene, Brother Jian couldn't help but tear up. He pinched his sore nose and turned around to see Xiao He standing there motionless.
"You can bear this?"
Xiao He didn't say anything.
Brother Jian asked again: "You just let it be taken away like that?"
During the trial just now, he thought that Xiao He might have a backup plan and things would definitely turn around, but he didn't get the verdict until the judge announced it.
Even when the bailiff took William away, he still felt that Xiao He might escape with William.
But unexpectedly, William let them take it away like that.
"It's not the right time yet. I'm still missing something." Xiao He said.
“What if William is bullied by them again?”
"Zhu Hao now sees William as a cash cow. He won't do that. Besides, I've added two insurance policies."
Even so, Xiao He couldn't help but glance in the direction the car left, then retracted his gaze and said hurriedly, "He'll be fine. We still have a lot of preparations to make."
After saying that, he walked quickly outside.
Brother Jian hurried over and complained, "It's already this late, what are you still preparing for? William has already been picked up by Zhu Hao!"
Xiao He held his windbreaker tightly and walked very quickly.
When she heard Brother Jian's words, she raised her head slightly, her eyes burning, as if there was a flame burning in her dark eyes, and her voice was firm.
"William is mine, no one can take him away."
After saying that, he quickly got in the car and left.
Although the trial has ended, Xiao He's investigation has not stopped.
That afternoon, Wen Keke arrived late with the information. When she heard that William had been taken away, tears started to fall from her eyes.
"It's all my fault. If I had come back earlier, William wouldn't have been taken away! I should have pestered that forensic doctor."
She cried twice before being interrupted by Xiao He.
"Did you get the results?"
Wen Keke's crying stopped abruptly. After sobbing twice, she took out a report from her bag and said, "This is Mr. Zhu's preliminary autopsy report."
After Xiao He returned from visiting Zhu Hao's home, the first thing he did was to ask Wen Keke to go to the autopsy agency to get the autopsy report.
She went to the police station to inquire.
On the day of the incident, when the police arrived at Zhu's home, Mr. Zhu had already stopped breathing, but they still sent him to the hospital morgue according to the procedure, and he was later taken away by the autopsy agency.
Xiao He took the report and noticed Wen Keke's choice of words.
"Preliminary autopsy?"
"That's right."
Wen Keke's eyes were red as she explained, "I begged them for a long time before they finally gave me the report. After discovering the abnormality, they planned to conduct a further autopsy, but the family of the deceased strongly refused. Therefore, the report only contains the results of the surface examination. Now the body has been cremated, so there is no way to examine it."
Family of the deceased?
Isn’t that Zhu Hao?
Xiao He thought about it and quickly flipped open the report in his hand. At the bottom was the forensic doctor's advice:
The deceased had a concussion injury to the back of his head and multiple injuries to his body. However, his medical records did not mention any illnesses that could cause fainting. A further autopsy is recommended to determine if there are any other underlying medical conditions.
When Mr. Zhu got into trouble, the police, based on Zhu Hao's confession, speculated that he fainted and accidentally fell down the stairs while going up them.
However, according to the preliminary forensic examination, Mr. Zhu was in good health, and his medical records showed that he did not suffer from any illness that could cause a coma. So why did he suddenly fall down the stairs?
As long as further autopsy is conducted, clues will be revealed.
But at this moment, Zhu Hao rejected the request for an autopsy.
"There's definitely something fishy going on with this guy!" Wen Keke swore, pointing to his head and saying, "I can guarantee it with my head."
Xiao He nodded slightly.
She had suspected this in the first place, which was why she asked Wen Keke to investigate.
Unexpectedly, evidence was found.
Wen Keke came over and asked, "With these things, can we bring William back?"
“That’s not enough.”
Now Mr. Zhu’s body has been cremated and the biggest evidence has been destroyed. Now, we can only wait and see what happens on Zhu Hao’s side.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Keke said with a worried look on his face: "Captain, William is a dog following Zhu Hao, will anything happen?"
Xiao He smiled.
"No, I've already sent bodyguards to follow him."
The moonlight was hazy, and the days of rain had caused layers of dark clouds to pile up in the sky, blocking even the starlight.
The night wind shakes the leaves, making a rustling sound. It's about to rain.
Under the cover of darkness, a huge, round shadow sat on a tree branch, motionless, almost blending in with the surrounding environment. Only a pair of round, green bean-like eyes occasionally flashed a glimmer, constantly observing the somewhat dirty villa in front of it.
When William was taken away, Xiaoguai received instructions and followed.
It swung its strong and powerful long tail behind it, and if Zhu Hao dared to attack William, it would beat him to death.
But it was almost as Xiao He expected. Zhu Hao now regarded William as a cash cow. He didn't dare to take action again, but treated him with delicious food and drinks.
And from the moment he got home, he fell into ecstasy. First, he asked the dog trainer to put William in the prepared dog cage, and then he began to imagine that he would use William's popularity to make money and become a multi-millionaire.
He even called everyone he knew one by one, boasting that he was about to become rich.
After the call, he started drinking again and kept drinking until dark.
At this time, the lights were still on in the villa, and occasionally one could hear Zhu Hao's wild laughter after getting drunk.
Xiaoguai stared at it for a while, then turned to look at William in the yard.
Returning to this home and facing the person it hated the most, Zhu Hao, it behaved exceptionally calmly this time. It did not get angry or attack. It just lay quietly in the cage. Even when Zhu Hao approached, it did not react.
Its usual majestic and heroic appearance was gone, and even its fur seemed to have become duller. Its tail lay limply on the ground, and its blue eyes were lifeless.
There were several cans of AIBO dog food in front of it, but it didn't even take a bite.
Xiaoguai tilted his head slightly, took out a pine cone with his little paws, threw it high, and lashed it with his tail.
The round pine cone fell into the yard, right next to the cage, but William didn't even move his ears, as if he didn't notice it at all.
At this time, the drunk Zhu Hao came out and held the cage to look at William inside.
"Huh? You've been pretty good today. Why don't you bite me? It seems you know whose territory this is."
Zhu Hao proudly took a sip of wine, and then he remembered something. A dark light flashed in his cloudy eyes. He suddenly squatted down, looked at William inside, and asked in a low voice:
"Did you see anything that day?"
William was at the scene on the day his uncle died. At that time, he thought it was just a dog and should not know anything. But from that day on, the dog was like crazy. Whenever it saw him, it would chase and bite him, as if it wanted to bite him to death.
Could it be that it really is as human-like as those people on the Internet say?
As Zhu Hao spoke, he lowered his head to look at the wolfhound in the cage, but William did not move at this time, not even raising his eyelids.
Seeing this, Zhu Hao sneered, thinking that he was overthinking.
"Behave well in the future. As long as you make money for me, I won't treat you unfairly. I still have all your things. They are all your favorites."
As he spoke, he walked to the warehouse, opened the door, picked up a few dusty toys from inside, and threw them into the cage.
"Go play!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house to drink.
Xiaoguai had been sitting quietly on the tree, and when the warehouse door opened, his eyes lit up instantly.
It lay dormant motionless until Zhu Hao left. It instantly turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot. When it reappeared, it was already standing in the warehouse.
His nose wrinkled slightly as he sniffed the air.
It searched around and found a dirty thing from the corner of the warehouse. It hooked it with its tail and happily prepared to go back to find William and take it back with him.
But when they arrived in the yard, they saw that the door of the cage was wide open, and the bolt used to hold the cage closed had been bitten off by sharp teeth. The toys that Zhu Hao had just thrown were scattered on the ground, but William inside was gone.
Xiaoguai suddenly panicked and looked around the house anxiously.
Zhu Hao was still drinking and had already passed out drunk on the ground.
Didn’t William seek revenge on him?
Where did it go?
Xiaoguai immediately jumped up from the ground, jumped onto the tree, and hurried back to tell Xiaohe.
It had just set off when the rain started again.
Xiao He didn't sleep at all.
The autopsy report brought by Wen Keke needs to be sorted out and compared with the previous police statements in order to find any flaws.
Although she had already made a plan in her mind, knowing that the first trial would fail and prepared for William to be taken away, she still felt anxious when she actually implemented it and saw the empty doghouse at home.
He had to find evidence quickly, send Zhu Hao to prison, and take William back with him legitimately.
The rain outside the window was a little heavy, which scared Xiao He. He read Zhu Hao's notes again and sorted out his thoughts. It was already four o'clock in the morning.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound outside the door, mixed with the sound of rain, almost covered by the latter, but still caught by Xiao He.
She stood up and opened the door, and saw a wet wolfhound standing outside.
A pair of blue eyes, wet by the rain, looked at her quietly.
Without any warning, Xiao He felt as if his heart was being tugged at by someone, causing a sharp pain.
She had arranged everything to ensure that William would not be beaten again, and that she would be able to take it back as soon as the evidence was found. However, she had never expected this scene.
Although Xiao He and Zhu Hao's families lived in the same city, one was in the east and the other in the west, at least thirty kilometers apart. They didn't know how many intersections and traffic lights they would have to pass along the way.
It didn't know how it got back.
It was still raining heavily outside, and his gray fur was soaked by the rain, sticking out like a knife, sticking out like a muddy dander. His usual majestic and handsome demeanor was gone, and he just stood there straight as if cast in iron, looking embarrassed and stubborn.
The blue eyes just kept looking at Xiao He, as if confirming something, and then slowly turned and left.
Drop by drop, water drops fell all over the ground.
How much faith does it take for a dog to break free from its cage, cross half the city in the dark, and return here again relying only on a trace of breath left in the air?
What kind of mood would make it walk through the door without even entering, and then turn around and leave after seeing the person it wants to find?
Only then did Xiao He realize that he had made a big mistake.
I calculated the direction of all events and thought everything was under control, but I underestimated the feelings of this wolfhound.
Dogs never hide their feelings and never interpret three points of affection as seven points. In their cute little heads, when it comes to love, there are only zero and ten points.
"William?"
Xiao He called out, but there was no response.
William, with his tail hanging down, seemed extremely disappointed and gradually disappeared into the corridor.
Xiao He quickly followed and found her dog downstairs.
The rain is still falling with no sign of letting up.
William left, but he didn't leave completely. He was lying right under the window of Xiao He's house. Some obsession made him give up hiding from the rain. He would rather get wet in the rain and lie on the wet concrete floor than move.
Its front paws were folded, resting on its head, its eyes were slightly closed, and even its tail was motionless, looking lifeless.
Xiao He squatted beside it and pushed the umbrella over to block the raindrops falling from the sky.
"How did you get back?"
William didn't respond.
Xiao He reached out to touch it, but was avoided by the person who turned his head away.
She sighed.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let them take you away. I won't do it again."
Hearing this, William opened his eyes slightly and looked through the rain. There was a faint blue light in the night.
"Come home. I'll give you a bath and open two more cans."
Xiao He reached out and held its front paw. William hummed twice, pulled his foot back, and turned his head away from her.
"Cook beef for you? I've already bought the meat. I was planning to file the lawsuit in two days and then eat it when I pick you up. I'm not really going to send you back, I just want to have a legitimate reason for you to stay."
Xiao He explained to her patiently.
Even when facing Huo An and others, he had never been so gentle and serious.
William's ears twitched, but he didn't look back.
Xiao He: "I'll let you sleep on the bed from now on."
This time, its tail wagged, and it looked particularly angry, but also very easy to coax.
Xiao He smiled and reached out to pick it up from the ground.
William didn't move, but he didn't struggle anymore, just stuck close with his tail.
"Let me give you a bath first, so you don't get sick."
As he spoke, seeing that it didn't respond, Xiao He quickly carried Wei upstairs, his steps very fast, as if he was worried that it would change its mind and run away in the next second.
I got home and went all the way to the bathroom.
Raindrops dripped from clothes and the dog's tail, covering the ground. Xiao He was now soaked all over.
She had just put William down and was about to fill the bathtub with water when the wolfhound, who had been motionless, suddenly opened his eyes, whimpered twice, ran over and rubbed her hand, as if he didn't want to be separated from her for a moment.
"It will be fine soon."
Xiao He turned on the faucet, picked it up again, and checked its body carefully. It was not injured.
It was just that because he ran all the way from Zhu Hao's house, his legs were covered in mud.
"How did you get here?" Xiao He couldn't help but ask while giving it a bath.
William just looked up at her blankly, his eyes full of blue.
Xiao He has never been able to imagine this question, and has never received any answer.
The long gray fur that was covered with dust regained its smooth color and stuck softly to his body. William simply closed his eyes and lay drowsy in the bathtub.
The dog tag on his neck had been rubbed somewhere, and the braided belt had come undone, leaving only a single thread still stubbornly hanging on his neck.
This dog tag was made by Mr. Zhu himself. William usually took good care of it. In the past, Xiao He was not allowed to touch it even if he wanted to. I don’t know how anxious William was when he hurried back all the way, and he didn’t even realize that the dog tag was broken.
Bags woven in this way should be repairable.
Xiao He observed for a while, and William seemed to notice something and suddenly turned around to look at him.
Seeing that her hand was on the dog tags, she didn't dodge away like she did before.
"Can I take this off? I'll return it to you after I fix it." Xiao He asked tentatively.
He said as he reached closer.
Although William didn't answer, he didn't dodge either. Instead, he lay on the ground very docilely and let Xiao He take off the dog tag that he had been wearing around his neck.
A cylindrical dog tag with William's name engraved on it was tied to a red artificial woven belt. Because it had never been taken off, there were scratches on it, and the woven belt was also fuzzy and dirty.
Xiao He carefully placed it on the shelf, and when he turned around, he saw William looking at him eagerly.
"After I help you take a bath, I'll make up for it."
She was good at destruction, but had never faced such delicate work as repair. She would need to look up some information before she could start.
After helping William take a bath and drying the water stains on his body, his soft hair became fluffy, and he regained his former handsomeness and majesty. He jumped and followed Xiao He, asking for food.
Xiao He looked at the pots and pans in the kitchen and felt a headache.
When I persuaded William to come back just now, I made a somewhat exaggerated promise.
In the past, during the apocalypse, everyone generally took nutritional supplements and didn't need to cook. After coming here, she either ate in the cafeteria or at Jiang Ye's table. How could she cook?
But seeing William's expectant look at this time, Xiao He could only compromise.
Open the phone and send a message to Jiang Ye:
What is the recipe for the beef you made for William?
Jiang Ye responded quickly and asked: [Do you want it now?]
Xiao He: [Yes.]
The other party immediately threw over a short essay of several hundred words, detailing everything from how hot the oil should be and how many grams of salt to add.
Xiao He usually enjoyed his meals, but he suddenly had a headache when he saw this recipe.
At this time, Jiang Ye said: [It is a little complicated, but it tastes better this way. Or, I can go over and help you cook it now?]
Xiao He turned around and glanced at William who was standing next to him, and replied: [No need, I'll do it myself.]
After sending this message, she opened a can and placed it in front of William.
"Eat this first to fill your stomach. It takes a while to cook the beef."
After saying that, he quickly got busy.
When William was at Zhu Hao's house, he hadn't eaten for a day and was so hungry that his eyes were green. He rushed over like a hungry tiger and started to gobble up the food.
Xiao He cooked beef while studying the recipe sent by Jiang Ye.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the window.
When I looked up, the rain outside had stopped. Xiaoguai was standing outside, looking a little anxious. Through the window glass, his two little paws kept gesturing.
Xiao He opened the window and said, "It has returned home. It is not lost."
Hearing this, Xiaoguai breathed a sigh of relief and came over to look inside.
"Did you get what I asked you to get?" Xiao He asked again.
Xiaoguai outside the window immediately wagged his tail and handed over a white automatic feeder.
This time it went to Zhu Hao's house with two tasks, one was to protect William, and the other was to secretly take this thing away after Zhu Hao opened the warehouse.
Xiao He quickly took it and took a look, a slight smile on his face.
"That's it!"
The automatic feeder has run out of power and shut down automatically. Although there is a lot of dust on it because it has not been used for a long time, judging from the color and the label on it, it should have been put away as soon as it was bought.
After leaving Zhu Hao's house that day, Xiao He and Zhong Zichuan went to the police station to inquire about the circumstances of Mr. Zhu's death.
At the time, the veteran police officer said, "Police rushed over as soon as they received the call. It was Zhu Hao who called. When I entered, the deceased was lying at the bottom of the stairs, on his back. The wound on his head was large and bleeding. Zhu Hao was kneeling beside the deceased, crying and shouting for help. There was no one else at home, and it was very noisy. There was a puppy barking non-stop, looking very ferocious. There was also an automatic feeder that had fallen next to the body, flashing a blue light. The scene was extremely chaotic."
Xiao He specifically looked up the same automatic feeding machine.
This brand of automatic feeder is specially designed to ensure that pets can eat on time when the owner is away from home. It can record the owner's voice and play it every time food is dispensed to attract pets to eat.
The included instruction manual states that if you press the switch twice in succession, the light will turn blue and the device will enter recording mode.
After recording is completed, press the switch again to save and the light will go out.
If there is no operation, the system will continue to record until it is turned off and the audio will be automatically saved.
So when the police mentioned that the automatic feeder was flashing blue light when they arrived, Xiao He's first thought was, when Mr. Zhu was murdered, could he be recording a voice message for William?
If so, some sounds must be preserved in it.
But no one paid attention to it at the time. It was not until the feeder ran out of power and shut down automatically that Zhu Hao casually threw it into the warehouse, where it has been kept until now.
Xiao He quickly charged it, and the light flashed. After half a year, the automatic feeder started working again.
Follow the instructions in the manual, find the saved recording files, and open them one by one.
As soon as I pressed the play button, the voice of a doting old man came.
"William, it's time to eat. Grandpa is not at home, so you have to eat well... Is this how it's recorded? Why does it feel wrong..."
Even the muttering was recorded.
At this time, William suddenly came back and stood at the kitchen door. He stood there straight, tilting his head slightly to look at the thing in Xiao He's hand, as if wondering why the old master's voice appeared here.
Xiao He waved at it, held William in his arms, and started playing the next one.
“It should be okay this time… ahem… you have to eat well every day so that William can grow taller. You can’t tear down the house when grandpa is not at home.”
William pricked up his ears and listened attentively. Every time the recording finished, he would wag his tail excitedly and make a whining sound.
Mr. Zhu, perhaps unfamiliar with the automatic feeder, recorded a lot of audio intermittently. Xiao He listened to it slowly, one segment at a time, until the last one:
"William, eat well and wait for me at home. Grandpa will be back soon..."
The recording paused for a few seconds, and then another message came.
"Who let you in? Get out! I won't lend you money again!"
Mr. Zhu's voice suddenly became cold and angry.
But the other voice was extremely familiar to Xiao He.
"Uncle, you can't just stand by and watch me die, right? You live in such a nice villa, but I can't afford to eat. What's the point of saving so much money? When you die, won't it all belong to me? If you give it to me now, won't it be the same?"
"Even if I die, I won't give you a penny of my money!"
"Then who are you going to give it to? I'm your only relative!"
"Relatives? I don't have relatives like you! All the property under my name, even if I donate or give it away, I won't give it to you!"
"Uncle, do you really have to force me?"
"What do you want to do? You..."
Bang——
After the chaotic footsteps, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Then, a burst of childish dog barking was heard.
Zhu Hao cursed.
"Get out of here! If you scream again, I'll chop you up!"
With a hard kick, the little wolfhound whimpered in pain.
Zhu Hao's voice continued.
"Die so easily? Uncle, don't blame me for being ruthless. You forced me to do this. Who else do you want to give the money to if you don't give it to me? Donate it? It makes me sad. Why not give it to me? I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and started dialing 110.
Soon, the sounds of sirens and ambulances were heard.
When facing the police's questioning, Zhu Hao changed his attitude again and claimed that he saw Mr. Zhu lying on the ground as soon as he arrived.
During this time, the wolfhound continued to bark, but no one noticed it.
It was not until the body was taken away and the police and doctors left one after another that the surroundings finally became quiet. The automatic feeder issued a battery warning and the recording stopped abruptly.
William, who had been lying in Xiao He's arms, suddenly jumped up, bared his teeth, and roared at the machine, just like the day Mr. Zhu was murdered.
It witnessed it firsthand.
It told everyone who the murderer was, but no one understood.
It was restless and in great pain.
Because it was the first thing that discovered Zhu Hao when he went in that day.
It’s just that William was simple and kind at that time, and he ran over happily when he saw Zhu Hao.
At that time, Zhu Hao changed his usual disdain and acted particularly friendly. He not only touched its back, but also threw the ball high and played games with it.
William chased him all the way, and when he returned, he saw with his own eyes that his grandfather was pushed down the stairs by him.
The toy ball fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and sank into the grass.
In the past, people said that its grandfather had a very good temper and would wag his tail when he saw people, and he had no ability to guard the house.
Then he held it in his arms while speaking, with a smile on his face.
"But our William is still a child. He will be powerful when he grows up. If something really happens, your grandfather will protect you."
That day, the grandfather who loved to hold the dog in the sun fell in a pool of blood and stopped breathing.
If it had issued a warning immediately when it discovered Zhu Hao breaking in, would this incident not have happened?
It turns out that humans are not trustworthy.
At this moment, it seems like we are back to half a year ago.
William yelled hysterically, constantly warning the automatic feeder, hoping someone would understand what it was saying.
At that time, Zhu Hao kicked it away.
The doctor complained that it was blocking the ambulance.
The policeman muttered, "This dog is so fierce."
Now, Xiao He gently hugged it.
"I heard it, I heard it all. William did a great job. Now, let's go catch the bad guys."
The wolfhound made a whimpering sound, as if it was crying, but also as if it was happy that someone was finally willing to listen to its voice.
Xiao He held it in his arms, took out his phone and sent a message to Huo An, who was already ready: [Catch him.]
Ten minutes later.
The sound of sirens tore through the last bit of darkness before dawn and cut through the night sky.
Huo An kicked open the door of the Zhu family and the police came in one after another.
At this time, Zhu Hao was still immersed in the joy of his impending wealth. He was drunk and fell asleep on the ground. Huo An picked him up and shook him awake.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? Why are you handcuffing me?"
After Huo An learned what happened from Xiao He, his fists were stiffened. If the police had not been present at the time, he would have wanted to beat him up on the spot.
"You are suspected of murdering your uncle and seizing his property. Why are you being arrested?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hao panicked instantly.
"It wasn't me! I didn't!"
He began to argue in fear, but the evidence was already conclusive, so the two policemen simply arrested him and walked him out.
As I passed the yard, an empty dog cage came into view.
"Where's my dog? Where's my dog?"
Zhu Hao shouted.
That was the cash cow he had worked so hard to get!
Woof——
At this time, a dog barking was heard.
He quickly turned his head and saw Xiao He and William standing not far away, looking at him across the police car.
"That's my dog! It's mine! The court awarded it to me!"
Xiao He stood there with William and said coldly: "It has never been yours, don't even think about it."
Zhu Hao shouted and struggled to rush over, but the next second, he was held down by the police and thrown into the car.
The resentful gaze was projected through the glass and slowly disappeared around the corner as the police car drove away.
"The policeman in charge of this case was introduced by my grandfather. He is a famous detective and impartial. I have handed over all the evidence to him. Captain, don't worry." Huo An walked over and said.
Xiao He nodded slightly and prepared to leave with William.
"Don't you dare go to the police station with us?"
Xiao He waved his hand and looked at the sky in the distance. The morning light was breaking and the sky was finally getting bright.
"No, I'm very relieved to leave this matter to you. Now, I have to go back and repair William's collar."
"You can also sew?!"
Huo An was shocked and wondered whether he should go and help.
Xiao He: "I can pierce a steel plate with an embroidery needle within ten meters."
“…”
Huo An's feet froze in mid-air, and a chill ran through his heart.
never mind.
There are some things that you don’t need to help with.
As soon as he got home, William ran over eagerly with his dog tag in his mouth, put it in Xiao He's hand, and pulled her hand to urge her.
This was Xiao He's first time doing needlework.
After watching the tutorial, she sat upright with needle and thread in her hands.
"Okay, I'll give it a try then."
As she spoke, she carefully untied the woven tape on the dog tag. As the dense stitches were unraveled, a square piece of paper suddenly fell out from between the dog tag and the woven tape.
Xiao He picked it up and took a look.
What is this?
