Chapter 252 How could an octogenarian be like this? Fei Lin supported the old lady with all her might, her tone firm: "Grandma, it is precisely because someone has died that we must find the real culprit."
She looked into her grandmother's terrified eyes and said in a pained voice, "And have you forgotten?"
"My parents designed this house themselves, and I grew up here..."
"I absolutely cannot let it become a haunted house without knowing why."
Xia Zhining keenly noticed the contradiction and whispered, "Brother, did you notice?"
“Fei Lin’s grandmother and Zhang Xian are trying to find ways to get Fei Lin to sell the house.”
Ji Shuyun pointed at Xue Tuan, who had been peeking out of Xia Zhining's pocket to watch the drama unfold: "Since the gecko identified the old lady as having entered the mezzanine and come into contact with the corpse."
"Then she must have left marks on her body."
"It's time for our little police weasel to be deployed."
Xia Zhining nodded and took Xue Tuan out of her pocket: "Xue Tuan, go and smell if the old lady has any special smell."
"Compare the smell on the corpse again."
[Finally, it's my turn, Little Tuantuan's turn!]
Snowball raised its two little paws, finally having a chance to stretch its muscles!
The weasel darted to the old lady's feet and sniffed her intensely.
The old woman was so frightened by the snowball that she backed away, screaming, "What are you doing! Get this beast away from me!"
Fei Lin was taken aback when she saw Xia Zhi Ning's actions.
She then realized that the ferret was the animal detective she had brought with her.
She was immediately shocked and anxious: "Miss Xia! You...you don't suspect my grandmother, do you? She's almost eighty years old, how could she do such a thing!"
After Feline finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat. Although her grandmother was nearly eighty years old, she had always been very healthy.
A few days ago, I saw her pruning branches and leaves in the garden by herself, and she could even move flower pots that were half her height.
"No, that's impossible!"
Xia Zhining did not offer any explanation, but simply gently placed the snowball next to the corpse.
The little weasel immediately raised its tail and began to sniff the corpse carefully.
When it approached the corpse's neck and hands, it suddenly jumped up and down excitedly.
[Sister! This is it!]
[There was that extremely strong, bitter medicinal smell coming from that old lady!]
Xia Zhining's eyes lit up: "Xue Tuan said that the corpse had the old lady's unique medicinal smell, and the concentration was very high."
Ji Shuyun turned to Fei Lin: "We need to check the items that the old lady usually carries with her."
Upon hearing this, the old woman trembled with anger and slammed her cane heavily on the floor: "You're slandering me!"
"I'm so old, and I have to suffer this kind of injustice! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
Xia Zhining looked at her calmly: "If someone assisted in the crime, age is not a problem."
"You're spouting nonsense!" the old woman pointed at them, her anger barely contained. "I'm going to sue the police for defamation!!"
Feline was torn between her inner thoughts and her reason, but reason told her that Xia Zhining could not have slandered her grandmother without cause.
But emotionally, I simply cannot accept that my grandmother could be the murderer.
This intense feeling of being torn apart made her want to know the truth immediately, yet she was also afraid that the truth was the worst possible one.
Ji Shuyun stepped aside to shield Xia Zhining from Fei Lin's rather oppressive gaze: "Ms. Fei, I understand how you feel."
"But my sister and her little animal detectives are always meticulous in their work."
"I would never make baseless accusations."
Under Feline's complicated gaze, the group entered the old lady's room.
