Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 532: Lemon Ice Blossom

The staff and guests of "Great Adventure Team" successively discovered bloodstains, strange footprints, heaps of animal corpses, and a human corpse in the workshop.

Even so, the police would not casually disclose the progress of the case to them.

Director Ming was scratching his head over this matter, partly out of curiosity and partly worried that before the truth came out, netizens might discover their treasure-hiding designs.

In contrast, Tuanzi was curious as well, but didn’t need to fret. After all, she had the system, which had been secretly monitoring the police case progress and reporting in real-time.

If this behavior were found out, Tuanzi might be suspected of harboring ulterior motives. However, the system was a hundred percent confident it wouldn’t be discovered.

Before the shoot of the second episode, the system informed Tuanzi of many developments.

[Ancient Martial System: The police have confirmed that the owner of the few drops of blood found in the workshop is the same as the corpse outside the abandoned factory. The police have input his data into the crime database and identified him.]

According to the system’s explanation, the deceased Zhao Jiacheng had multiple theft records before, hence his record in the crime database. However, years ago, he abandoned his parents and left, leaving no trace.

The deceased’s time of death was between six to eight months ago, which coincided with the footprint timing in the workshop. The cause of death was excessive blood loss.

There was a noticeable knife wound on the deceased’s chest. The police initially surmised that someone in the workshop struck unexpectedly, used drugs, and the deceased was knocked out and packed into a box.

The whole operation was too quick, leaving only a few drops of blood at the scene.

Tuanzi held the milk bottle and curiously asked, "How could it be so fortuitous that there was just a box in the workshop that could fit a person?"

[Ancient Martial System: Now the police suspect Zhao Jiacheng is related to a jewelry heist, during which the jewelry store only captured images of three masked figures, one very similar to Zhao Jiacheng.]

Tuanzi calculated, "So, the heist actually involved four people, with one supporting outside. At first, there were just footprints of four people in the workshop!"

She gulped the milk down and voiced her hypothesis.

"Did they fight over uneven loot distribution post-heist?"

[Ancient Martial System: The conflict likely arose earlier, with the remaining people tricking Zhao Jiacheng into the abandoned factory to take action. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had a box prepared in advance. Also, think about why they chose that particular factory? Why were animal corpses specifically found in that factory?]

Tuanzi put down the milk bottle, stretched her tiny paws to hold her head, "Why indeed?"

She patted her head, trying to make herself a bit smarter.

The system playfully teased for a couple of seconds before revealing everything.

[Ancient Martial System: The deaths of those animals seemed tragic, but most of their wounds were posthumous. Forensic autopsy confirmed that these animals were first poisoned, then gutted, later having limbs chopped off and such. The police believe the perpetrator faked animal abuse to mislead the investigation while their real purpose was to extract items from within the animals.]

"Those poor cats and dogs had jewels inside their bodies!"

Tuanzi raised her hand, somewhat excited but also enraged.

"Earlier, Miaomiao saw online summaries of methods to hide jewelry, gold, and other valuable items, including using small animals, so despicable!"

[Ancient Martial System: Those people were blinded by profit, disregarding small animals’ lives. The police conjecture that the cigarette butt in the security room belonged to those few, currently pursuing two identified individuals while one remains unknown.]

In the system’s view, this investigation speed was quite fast. After all, the heist occurred over half a year ago, and the police had only been examining the corpse for a few days.

[Ancient Martial System: It might take until the second or third episode for the case to become clearer, brace yourself.]

The little girl tilted her head, bewildered, rubbing her face, "Brace myself for what?"

[Ancient Martial System: I monitored several platforms, it seems some people are beginning to question the production dates of those watches.]

"So, it’s this matter."

Tuanzi squinted and smiled, "Don’t worry, when it gets discovered, the one crying would be Uncle Director, not Miaomiao!"

As soon as she spoke, her ears perked up, and she immediately composed herself, pretending not to be chatting with someone.

A few seconds later, several senior brothers walked into the room together.

They acted as usual as if they hadn’t heard the junior sister communicating with an invisible presence.

"Third Senior Brother, Miaomiao has good news for you."

Tuanzi lunged forward, clinging to the white-haired man, recounting the case developments.

The man’s body froze.

"Miaomiao, how did you know?"

He clearly concealed this issue, yet the junior sister somehow knew.

Tantai Yi subconsciously suspected Director Ming and Wen Li.

These two often interacted with the sister.

"Humph," Tuanzi pouted, deliberately glanced sideways at him, "Miaomiao has sharp hearing and overheard during the quiet discussions!"

The knowledgeable ones were just Tantai Yi, Wen Li, the director, and two editors.

Tantai Yi and Wen Li had good composure, but the latter three almost collapsed, huddling together to try to dispel their fears.

Even avoiding the guests and keeping discussions quiet, Tuanzi’s hearing was unusually acute.

"Third Senior Brother, you hid it from Miaomiao."

Tuanzi let go, deliberately hugged her little arms with feigned anger, sneaking glances at Tantai Yi’s reaction.

A certain handsome and elegant man indeed appeared somewhat helpless.

Being tongue-tied, not knowing how to explain, he could only resort to action.

The long-robe clad man extended his slender fingers, lightly gathering at the tips, and miraculously, an Ice Crystal Flower appeared in his palm.

At the same time, the air around them turned a bit dry as the originally contained moisture was drawn by Tantai Yi and condensed into ice.

"For you."

The beautiful Ice Crystal Flower was placed before Tuanzi.

"Wow!"

Tuanzi gaped, carefully receiving the flower, inspecting it left and right, unable to hide her joy, her lips arched high.

She hadn’t been genuinely angry before, and now she couldn’t help but indulge in a little snuggle with Tantai Yi.

Tantai Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

An arm resting on his shoulder, turning to see a sour-faced doll-like face.

"Junior Brother, you did pretty well."

Ji Zhangzhuo’s eyes floated with lemony sarcasm, "Quite adept at making girls happy, huh."

Tantai Yi slightly frowned, "Coddling a junior sister is different from coddling a girl, I’ve never coddled anyone else."

Ji Zhangzhuo instantly pretended to rub his arm, "It hurts so much, needs Junior Brother to send a flower to heal."

The ’junior brother’ he spoke of seemed deaf, casually turning around, seeing Tuanzi cherishing that flower, wanting to place it into the refrigerator freezer compartment, then casually transformed the lemon water in the glass into an ice flower.

Tuanzi now had an ice flower emanating lemon scent.

Ji Zhangzhuo grew more envious.

Before long, Tuanzi and Tantai Yi were set to travel to another city to participate in the second episode.

Before departure, the system disclosed a crucial piece of information.

[Ancient Martial System: While searching for clues in the abandoned factory, the police unexpectedly found a corpse inside a wall that had been refreshed, initially suspecting the factory’s current owner, Qian Duocai, to be the perpetrator.]
