The squirrel brothers who had been nestling obediently in Xia Zhining's arms have woken up.
At this time they gnashed their teeth:
[Humph, this old man is so annoying! Sister, I don’t need his bodyguards!]
[Yes, there are a lot of squirrels here, and we have spies everywhere.]
Xia Zhining's slender fingers carelessly played with the squirrel's fluffy tail, not even bothering to lift an eyelid. "Then I won't bother you any more."
She turned around and walked downstairs with quick movements.
Old Master Gu snorted coldly, tapping his bony fingers on his cane. "Haha, what can one person accomplish? Isn't this just asking for death?"
"Don't hold my Gu family responsible if something goes wrong."
Xia Qingqing looked at Xia Zhining's back, her eyes darkening.
He lowered his head and sent a message on his phone.

Xia Zhining put on the raincoat provided by the housekeeper, held a big black umbrella, and came to the garden facing the window of Room 306.
The rain is much lighter now, and the air is filled with the smell of earth.
Even if there were any traces left in the large garden from the previous rain, they had been washed away by the rain.
Xia Zhining looked up at the window of Room 306: "If the murderer had brought the child down from the window of Room 306, it would have made quite a noise."
"You'll definitely need tools like ropes."
The squirrel brothers jumped out of Xia Zhining's arms.
Brother Squirrel: [Sister, wait here, we'll go find someone nearby!]
Xia Zhining nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
At this moment, the roar of a helicopter was heard overhead.
Xia Zhining looked up and saw a black helicopter hovering over Songjian Manor.
I guess it was Xia Zheng who came with the police officers.
I wonder if my brother will be among them?
When this thought came to Xia Zhining's mind, she shook her head in self-mockery.
The helicopter is to pick up Xia Zheng, and Xia Zheng will definitely bring his confidants.
As a police officer seconded to the Jiangcheng General Bureau, Ji Shuyun is not familiar with his colleagues and has no background. I wonder if he will be isolated.
Not to mention that the brother and sister solved the case and caught the murderer twice before Xia Zhengyu.
Just as Xia Zhining was looking for "sighting small animals" in the garden.
Xia Zheng and the police officers arrived at the third floor where the guest rooms were located, exhausted.
"Everyone, I'm Xia Zheng. These are my two assistant police officers."
He quickly greeted the two old gentlemen, then put on his white coat and rubber gloves neatly and efficiently.
After a preliminary inspection, Xia Zheng walked to the door of Room 306 and said to Ning Tiancheng and the others, "The knife wound to the victim's abdomen was fatal. The wound edges are neat, so the culprit must have been a sharp dagger."
He walked to the window and lightly brushed his fingertips over the marks on the windowsill. "The remaining hemp rope fibers here indicate that the murderer most likely used a rope to carry Coco away from the scene."
"Judging from the bloody footprints and the rope, the murderer wore size 41 shoes and was tall and thin."
He turned to the bedside table, picked up the half-full glass of milk and examined it carefully under the light, his brows gradually furrowing. "There's sleeping pills in the milk, which explains why Coco didn't cry."
Ning Tiancheng clenched his fists upon hearing this: "God damn beast, you actually fed my grandson sleeping pills!"
"Keke is only three and a half years old!"
Xia Zheng's voice was steady and powerful: "Don't worry, Mr. Ning. The bloody footprints at the scene are the key clue to solving the case."
"Surveillance footage shows no one else entered Room 306. The killer must have come in through the window."
"We will now check the guests and staff in the guest rooms based on their shoe size and body shape."
After saying this, Xia Zheng hurriedly left with his assistant.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but praise Xia Qingqing: "Qingqing, your brother is indeed an expert in solving crimes!"
"Compared to that clueless Xia Zhining, they're worlds apart."
Ning Tiancheng nodded in agreement, "This is probably the difference between a specially-appointed consultant and a specially-appointed expert."
"I wonder how that consultant is doing in the back garden."
