Chen Cheng finally felt a little safer when he heard his parents say they would come to pick him up soon.
She wiped her tears and looked at Xia Zhining: "Thank you. My name is Chen Cheng. What's your name? How did you find me?"
Chen Cheng started to cry again as he spoke: "I thought... I thought I was going to die tomorrow."
Xia Zhining hurriedly handed her a tissue. "My name is Xia Zhining. I'm the director of a nearby zoo and an animal communicator. I can understand the signals sent by small animals."
Xia Zhining knew that she had discovered the criminal twice, which was likely to arouse the suspicion of the police. She had been trying to come up with a suitable explanation to reduce her suspicion.
When she was studying abroad, she learned that the emerging profession of "animal communicator" really existed in real life.
Animal communicators can communicate with animals, but only to a certain extent.
Unlike her, he could not communicate with animals fluently and quickly, but this emerging profession was enough to cover himself.
Chen Cheng's eyes widened: "Animal communicator? What a novel profession!"
"So, you discovered that I was..."
Xia Zhining pointed at the crow that had its little head poked out of the ventilation duct. "This little crow has been fluttering around me all night, as if it's discovered something special."
"My brother, a police officer, just happened to come pick me up from get off work. He accompanied me to follow the crow. I didn't expect..."
Chen Cheng sighed upon hearing this: "I'm so lucky! I happened to meet an animal communicator and a police officer nearby!"
She looked at Xia Zhining and his sister and said, "You two have a good match in your professions. One can detect abnormalities through small animals, and the other is very good at catching people."
"You are the strongest support and the strongest jungler!"
Xia Zhining was amused by Chen Cheng's statement. It was true. She and her brother had 100% cooperation!
Ji Shuyun nodded slightly at Chen Cheng: "Don't worry, the other police officers will be here soon. We may need your cooperation in taking a statement next."
Chen Cheng glanced at Ji Shuyun, his face flushed, he looked away, and pulled Xia Zhining's sleeve: "Wow, your brother is so handsome!"
"You two brothers and sisters are both very good-looking."
The little crow also flew onto Xia Zhining's shoulder at this time, puffing out its chest proudly. It also wanted to praise!
"Woman, I am the hero who saved your life!"
Chen Cheng couldn't understand the animal language. She only saw the crow in front of her cawing at her. She tilted her head in confusion: "Zhi Ning, what is this crow mumbling?"
Xia Zhining smiled and said, "The little crow said it wants to be praised too~"
Chen Cheng burst into laughter upon hearing this.
She was originally afraid of black birds like crows, but when she thought of this crow as her savior, she overcame her fear and even thought the crow in front of her was cute.
She started to ask, "By the way, I saw on the Internet that crows like to collect shiny things, right?"
Xia Zhining nodded: "Yes!"
Chen Cheng took off her pearl earrings and the ruby pendant from her neck. She handed them to the little crow and said, "Thank you, Mr. Crow, for saving my life. You can play with these two things~"
Xia Zhining looked at the large, rich pearl earrings and the ruby pendant with a very vivid fire, and her eyes widened. Wow, this is too generous, what kind of family is this?
As a collector, the little crow is very knowledgeable. When it saw these two shiny things, the shocked expression on its little head was exactly the same as Xia Zhining's!
The little crow immediately stretched out its little claws and carefully hooked the two pieces of jewelry, its greedy look showing a very thieving attitude.
Xia Zhining couldn't help but laugh as she handed the remaining 100 yuan to Little Crow: "Here, I'll give you the balance. I'm a very honest person."
The little crow accepted the 100-yuan bill and put it under its wings.
At this moment, loudspeakers shouted around the basement.
"Listen up, people inside, you're surrounded!"
"Release the hostages immediately!"
Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun exchanged a glance and said, "Great! The police are here! Let's take the criminal out!"
*
Outside the basement, the special police had surrounded the basement, making it impossible to get out.
Criminal Investigation Team Captain Yang Zhishan looked worried: "Why did the person who called the police disappear? The call I just made was already busy."
The SWAT team also reported through the intercom: "Captain Yang, we haven't found the person who called the police!"
Xia Zheng frowned coldly, "Could it be that Xia Zhining got a taste of success from catching a Class A wanted criminal last time? To get the reward, she approached the criminal's basement and ended up being captured by the criminal and taken hostage?"
"You're so blinded by money that you don't even know your own worth anymore!"
"She was just lucky last time. It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Can she be so lucky every time?"
Yang Zhishan's face turned ugly when he heard this. If the criminals had two hostages, the situation would be even more difficult.
At this moment, there was a noise coming from the basement door, and everyone immediately went on high alert!
"Uncle police, the hostages have been rescued and the murderer has been caught!"
Xia Zhining's voice came from the door. She supported Chen Cheng and walked out of the basement door.
