Chapter 339 The cricket lurking among the angelfish sent a chill down Xia Zhining's spine.
This isn't a clarification; it's Mo Xiaohua putting on a show to protect herself while on the brink of disaster!
The man had dropped his pretense, shifting from covert "treatment" to blatant coercion.
What will he do after recording this video? Will he silence Mo Xiaohua? Or something even more terrifying, keep her under long-term control?
Xia Zhining dared not think about it further.
At this suffocating moment, the phone in my palm suddenly vibrated, and the screen flashed "Zhoucheng Police".
She answered the call immediately, and a police officer's low but urgent voice came from the other end: "Expert Xia! There's a situation! A sparrow just flew over to deliver a message, and it's very excited. Please listen!"
Xia Zhining immediately pressed the receiver tightly to her ear and held her breath.
The next second, the little sparrow's trembling chirping came over:
[Report! Important discovery regarding the male biped in that pointed-roof house!]
[This morning, while it was still dark, he got up! He pulled up all the particularly large flowers and plants on the balcony and put them away.]
Xia Zhining's eyes sharpened; now she was even more certain that those plants contained direct evidence of a crime.
Where did he put those plants after he collected them?
[It's unclear where it was taken; he didn't drive his own car out, it's been parked in the garage the whole time.]
The sparrow tilted its head, trying hard to recall the conversation of its companions. [However, one of the squirrel brothers, who had a particularly keen sense of smell, said that it had smelled a strong, familiar, yet unpleasant odor next to a large, metal garbage truck that ate trash that morning.]
[It's that weird smell from all the plants in that man's house!]
[His plants weren't like other people's, always smelling sweet; they always had a pungent, unpleasant odor, so all the kids in the neighborhood remember it vividly!]
"Garbage truck?" Xia Zhining's pupils contracted, and she immediately turned to the Zhoucheng police on the other end of the phone: "Investigate immediately! Investigate whether any garbage trucks entered or exited that villa area before dawn this morning! Focus on investigating that time period!"
"Understood!" The voice on the other end of the Zhoucheng police line suddenly tightened, and urgent commands and the sound of keyboard typing immediately came from the background.
Xia Zhining's heart remained uneasy.
While the whereabouts of the evidence are crucial, human safety is the top priority.
She leaned closer to the receiver again, lowering her voice even further, trying to suppress her anxiety: "Little Sparrow, do me one more favor, go check on how things are inside that villa?"
"Is the woman of the villa still safe? Has there been any strange noise?"
The little sparrow fluttered its wings, its tone a little annoyed: "All the curtains in that two-legged creature's nest are drawn tightly shut; we can't see inside at all from the outside."
It paused, its beady black eyes darting around, and began reporting its findings: "However, we've discovered several ways to sneak in! Like that breathing square opening (vent) on the wall."
[And there are cracks at the bottom of that stone cave (garage) that can swallow a huge metal box (car)!]
As she spoke, the little sparrow lowered her head somewhat shyly, trying to cover her round, fluffy body with her tiny wings, and her voice softened: "I...I've been eating a bit too well lately, and I've gotten fat, so I can't squeeze through...But I've already sent the slenderest sparrow chick in our group to try!"
