Chapter 231: Chapter 157: The Body Hidden in the Freezer_3

Jiang Ning pushed her suitcase to a nearby shop for temporary storage, then ran towards the traffic light.

Qi Xingzhou followed Jiang Ning with his eyes cast down.

The two, tall and with distinguished temperaments, walked through the bustling streets, catching the eyes of pedestrians, some even mistook them as filming a street blockbuster.

The moving company’s truck was a pickup with the company’s banner advertisement attached to its body, especially conspicuous.

Jiang Ning’s gaze firmly rested on the truck as she walked briskly forward, contemplating strategies to expose what was inside.

The refrigerator she saw being carried by the moving company’s staff was wrapped tightly with tape and foam; unveiling the criminal evidence inside was going to be a difficult task. And what if there was no evidence of murder?

She could think of other ways to follow the company’s truck and find the right moment to reveal everything, but time was running out, less than three hours remained...

Jiang Ning hurried along, and soon they reached the traffic light.

Red light: 23 seconds

During the wait for the light to change, a Dahuang came over silently and stood next to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning, who was previously frowning in thought, suddenly brightened up at the sight of it.

Jiang Ning turned to Qi Xingzhou and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"

Qi Xingzhou had been following Jiang Ning without knowing what she was going to do or where they were heading.

When Jiang Ning spoke to him, Qi Xingzhou looked calm on the surface, but his ears perked up under his dark hair, listening intently.

"Can you use your animal communication skills right now? I was thinking..."

Jiang Ning’s whispered words were lost in the wind.

After 23 seconds, the green light turned on, and the two, along with other pedestrians, stepped onto the sidewalk.

No one noticed that from all directions, several Dahuangs, medium-sized and small dogs, Wangcai, Xiaohua, Xiaohei, Laifu... and others, were all gathering in one direction.

Two to three minutes later, the first few Dahuangs suddenly stopped in front of the moving truck, barking at them for no reason.

The moving workers were startled.

Today, they had taken this young man’s order to help him move.

There weren’t many pieces of furniture, but the three refrigerators were heavy and cumbersome.

Moreover, it was an old-style building with a narrow corridor; they had barely managed to move the three refrigerators downstairs. All they needed was to load the last one onto the truck and then they could leave.

Looking at the dogs blocking their way, one of the workers shouted angrily, "Get away! What are you barking for!"

To their surprise, the dogs did not back down. Instead, they barked even more fiercely, wagging their tails.

Not just these dogs, but about a dozen more of various sizes and breeds came running from all directions, barking endlessly around them.

The incessant barking alarmed the nearby pedestrians, who quickly stayed away, not daring to approach.

Dogs of all sizes surrounded them.

Being fiercely barked at by so many dogs, even the strapping men from the moving company felt a chill: "What, what’s going on here?"

The nearby pedestrians had long scattered to the side.

Zhong Yuanlong stood aside, looking slightly impatient: "Ignore them, let’s hurry up and leave once we’re done."

His hand hanging by his side clung tightly to his trouser pocket.

The movers wanted to, but as soon as they took a step forward, the dogs bared their teeth threateningly.

It seemed that if they dared advance further, the dogs were ready to pounce and bite.

They were just working to earn money, not to risk their lives.

"This is our truck, what are you doing surrounding it?"

The most timid worker suggested, "Maybe they’re hungry? What if we buy some food to lure them away?"

The refrigerator was heavy and hard to hold for long.

They set it down under the eaves, planning to buy some sausages from the nearby shop when suddenly the dogs that had just been barking non-stop rushed forward aggressively, barking ferociously around the refrigerator and even using their paws to scratch at the tape and foam wrapping it!

Seeing that their paws couldn’t remove the wrapping, they began to bite with their mouths!

Their once-raised tails were now as low as those of wolves, and from time to time, threatening growls came from their mouths as if there was something dangerous inside the refrigerator.

The dogs that had surrounded them barking were not hostile towards them, nor were they hungry; they were barking at the refrigerator!

The expressions of the three movers changed in an instant as they took several panicked steps backward.

They couldn’t help but turn their eyes to Zhong Yuanlong. The young man stood under the eaves, looking down at the dogs fighting and barking at the refrigerator, his face unreadable.

"My God, have those dogs gone mad? What is going on!"

"So scary! Where did all these strays come from, what if someone gets bitten!"

"Those dogs must be crazy, call the police! Have them all put down!"

...

Jiang Ning stood in the crowd, listening to everyone’s discussion, a cold light in her eyes.
