Chapter 136: Her Boyfriend Came Out Of Da Shan
Jiang Yuan opened the door of the red BMW, and the phone ringtone suddenly sounded.
It was Si Heng’s call.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Jiang Yuan, where are you?” Si Heng asked.
Jiang Yuan bent down and sat in the driver’s seat, “I’m at the Animal Protection Organization, just about to leave.”
“I’ll send you the location via WeChat,” Si Heng said. “Come over. The suspect in illegal hunting has goldfish at home.”
“I understand.” Jiang Yuan hung up the phone and navigated to the location Si Heng sent.
The red BMW drove into the apartment building’s ground parking lot.
Jiang Yuan walked to the apartment building and saw Meng Xiaokai’s figure.
“Xiaokai.” She quickly walked forward.
The two entered the elevator to the fourth floor, and inside the room were only Si Heng and Chen Ziqi.
Chen Ziqi was sitting in front of the fish tank, holding a bag of feed and occasionally sprinkling some down.
Seeing Jiang Yuan approach, his eyes lit up. “Jiang Yuan, come quickly. I’ve been communicating with them for a long time, and they haven’t even blown a single bubble.”
“I told you not to bother,” Meng Xiaokai said with disdain. “Communicating with animals isn’t that easy.”
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Yuan and smiled brilliantly, “Jiang Yuan, you try.”
Jiang Yuan walked to the fish tank, bent down, and looked through the glass at the few goldfish inside. “Hello, I’m Jiang Yuan.”
“Human?” The goldfish smelled the pleasant scent on her and leaned over to speak, “You smell so good.”
“Really?” Jiang Yuan smiled. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Liuliu,” the goldfish said. “I’ve never seen you before.”
“This is my first time here.” Jiang Yuan took the feed from Chen Ziqi’s hand and fed them some. “Can I ask you a question?”
“What question?” Liuliu asked, looking at her with its bulging eyes curiously.
Jiang Yuan: “Do you know the owner of this house?”
“Yes,” Liuliu said. “Is it Scarface?”
Jiang Yuan looked at Si Heng and the others. “Is the suspect Scarface?”
Meng Xiaokai quickly nodded. “That’s right, that’s right.”
Jiang Yuan retracted her gaze and looked at the goldfish again. “Yes, it’s Scarface. Do you usually hear them chatting?”
Liuliu: “We listen when we’re bored.”
Jiang Yuan: “Did you hear them talking about catching animals?”
Liuliu blinked its eyes and recalled carefully. “I didn’t hear them talking about catching animals, only about catching high-value goods.”
“High-value goods?” Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. “It should be these. Did they talk about it much?”
“Yes!” Liuliu said. “They talk about it every day!”
Jiang Yuan asked a few more questions, but Liuliu didn’t know much.
The group returned to the police station and discussed the case.

Jiang Yuan returned home and lay on the sofa thinking about the matter.
How can I get in touch with people who sell wild game?
“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Dashan opened the door and heard Jiang Yuan sighing. “Why are you sighing at such a young age?”
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yuan sat up and looked at Jiang Dashan, who was changing his shoes at the entrance hall. “Why are you so late today?”
“I went out for hot pot with colleagues,” Jiang Dashan said, sitting on the single sofa, pouring himself a glass of water, and after drinking it, he complained, “Those guys have such heavy tastes, they actually ate dog meat.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan frowned and asked, “Did you eat dog meat too?”
The two sleepy dogs in the room heard this, instantly stood up, and stared at him with wide eyes.
“I didn’t!” Jiang Dashan quickly said. “I have dogs at home, how could I possibly eat dog meat? Tonight I only ate that plate of peanuts with wine, it was so salty.”
Jiang Yuan then breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bai and Pipi also lay back down on the floor.
Jiang Dashan’s tense back relaxed slightly.
He poured another half glass of water and tutted, “They eat too many things, they dare to eat anything, it’s really disgusting.”
“Really?” Jiang Yuan’s thoughts stirred, and she pressed further. “What things?”
“Let me think,” Jiang Dashan said, frowning as he recalled. “I think they mentioned some kind of bird, I forgot the name as soon as I heard it, and also… an owl!”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up slightly. “An owl? Do you know how to contact the people who sell this wild game?”
Jiang Dashan was startled by her words and said in surprise, “No, why are you also so heavy-tasting? That stuff isn’t eaten! I heard it’s a national protected animal, and it might even spread some viruses or bacteria. If we have money, we should eat wagyu beef or something, not this.”
“I’m not going to eat these,” Jiang Yuan explained. “I guarantee I won’t eat them, I’m just asking.”
Jiang Dashan asked doubtfully, “If you’re not eating it, why are you asking?”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
“Just tell me.” She transferred five hundred yuan to his WeChat. “I won’t tell our mother about this money, you can arrange it yourself.”
Jiang Dashan immediately accepted the money and said with a smile, “I’ll have to ask those colleagues about this. I’ll tell you after I ask.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan nodded and exhorted, “If your colleagues ask if you want to eat it, just say yes.”
“Got it.” Jiang Dashan made an OK gesture.

The next day.
Jiang Yuan woke up and subconsciously clicked on Douyin to check her private messages.
She half-opened her eyes, looking at the screen in a daze.
Seeing that “Milk Tea Three Sugars” had replied, she instantly became alert and sat up with a carp flip.
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Streamer, you actually replied to my message! What a surprise! 】
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Streamer, I don’t know Xiao Lan’s boyfriend. Although we chat occasionally, we rarely meet. I’ve only heard some things about her boyfriend. 】
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Xiao Lan’s boyfriend is someone she met after she started working. He is excellent, has a high salary, and is very considerate to Xiao Lan. However, Xiao Lan mentioned one drawback: her boyfriend is from Da Shan, too far from her home, and her parents might not agree to her marrying so far away. 】
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Streamer, this is all I know. For anything else, I might need to ask other friends. Should I go and ask? 】
Jiang Yuan stared at the words “from Da Shan,” her slender eyebrows furrowing tightly, a sense of ominous feeling stirring within her.
She quickly typed a reply: 【Milk Tea, can you tell me Xiao Lan’s full name? I’ll ask a police friend to check. I feel like Xiao Lan’s disappearance might be suspicious. 】
Milk Tea Three Sugars knew Jiang Yuan’s reputation, so she readily provided the information she had.
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Xiao Lan’s full name is Jiang Yilan, she is twenty-five years old… 】
【Milk Tea Three Sugars: Streamer, Xiao Lan is counting on you! 】
Jiang Yuan: 【I will do my best. 】
She copied Xiao Lan’s information, switched to WeChat, and sent the copied content to Si Heng.
Jiang Yuan: 【Si Heng, a while ago, Xiao Lan’s pet Qiuqiu found me and asked me to help find its owner, Xiao Lan. I posted a missing person notice on Douyin, and a netizen who knew Xiao Lan contacted me. 】
Thank you 【】
