Chapter 113: Live Broadcast Anecdotes Part 3 (Extra 4)
The day after the livestream, Lin Jiangye arrived at the sisters’ place.
The younger sister had been very excited at first, but when she saw Lin Jiangye being carried out of the car and placed into a wheelchair, she suddenly remembered that Advisor Lin was still seriously injured.
“I’m sorry, Advisor Lin…” Her face was filled with guilt, her fair cheeks flushed bright red. If this matter hadn’t involved her sister, she probably would have covered her face and run away in embarrassment.
Lin Jiangye waved his hand indifferently. He was the one who proposed this idea and the one who came here himself. What did it have to do with the sisters?
“Let’s not talk about that. Take me to where Baobao died.”
The younger sister lowered her hands from her face and looked worriedly at the young man in front of her.
“Advisor Lin… you said you had a way… but what kind of way is it exactly? Could you… tell me first?”
She didn’t mean to sound so aggressive. It was just that her sister’s condition was already very bad, and she didn’t want her sister to gain hope only to fall into deeper despair later.
Lin Jiangye fell silent for a moment. Then he beckoned her closer.
When she leaned in, he lowered his voice and told her quietly:
“I want to try summoning Baobao’s spirit.”
The younger sister’s eyes widened immediately. Her first instinct was to think Lin Jiangye was some kind of charlatan playing tricks on her.
But after stepping back and seeing the firm expression on his face, her eyes suddenly grew moist.
At that moment, she finally understood why some people sought fortune-tellers or spiritual mediums after losing a loved one.
If Lin Jiangye could really let her see Baobao again—even for just one hour… no, even one minute—that would bring her some comfort.
“Can… can it really work?” Her eyes filled with tears.
Lin Jiangye sighed silently in his heart, though his expression remained calm.
“We can try. It should work.”
The younger sister nodded repeatedly, too emotional to say anything more.
She brought Lin Jiangye downstairs to the residential building, but unexpectedly they ran into her former brother-in-law and his family just as they were leaving.
The moment they saw her, several people rushed over.
“You smashed my house yesterday and now you’re back? Pay compensation! If you don’t pay, I’ll call the police!”
“Xiaowan, you should persuade your sister properly. She’s already pregnant—why throw such a tantrum? What if the baby gets hurt?”
“Exactly! Her belly is already so big—why talk about divorce now? What will happen to the child after divorce? A woman who’s been married and pregnant—what kind of good man could she find later?”
“It’s just a dog you two raised! We’ll buy you another one! Is it really necessary to make such a fuss? You’re probably trying to extort money!”
Hearing these words made the younger sister tremble with rage. If Lin Jiangye and the others hadn’t been beside her, she suspected this family would already be dragging her away to force her to persuade her sister.
What a disgusting family.
Just as she expected, if these people hadn’t seen several men standing beside her, they would definitely have tried to grab her and force her to bring them to her sister.
Their eyes swept over Lin Jiangye and the others. Although Lin Jiangye was sitting in a wheelchair, a tall and sturdy man stood behind him.
The former brother-in-law glanced at the man’s waist. Something was bulging there—who knew what it was.
Could it be some kind of hired thug?
The more he looked, the fiercer those men seemed.
While his family surrounded the younger sister, he secretly slipped behind them and called the police.
“Hello, officer! There are gang members downstairs in my building!”
After finishing the call, he turned back and saw his family already being subdued by those “gang members.” One of them used only one hand to restrain a person.
“You—you! What are you doing?!” the others shouted in alarm and rushed forward.
Bai Zhengwen and another man released their grip, pushing the restrained people toward the man who had called the police. Then the two crossed their arms and stood in front of them, blocking them from approaching Advisor Lin.
Meanwhile, Lin Jiangye was sensing the surroundings.
Although five or six days had passed, Baobao’s lingering aura was still present.
The younger sister covered her mouth and stared nervously at the young man with closed eyes.
After a short moment, her heart suddenly thumped violently.
Then a fist-sized white light suddenly appeared in front of them.
The light was dazzling, making her instinctively close her eyes.
But immediately afterward, a familiar, crisp bark rang in her ears.
She opened her eyes quickly.
In front of her stood a yellow village dog emitting a faint white glow.
“Woof! Woof!”
The dog’s eyes shone brightly like black pearls submerged in clear water, filled entirely with joy at seeing its owner.
Seeing her reflection in the dog’s eyes, the younger sister froze in shock.
Surprise. Disbelief. Astonishment.
And finally, overwhelming guilt and relief.
“Baobao! Baobao! Baobao!!!”
Her voice grew louder with each cry.
By the time the police arrived, they were greeted with a strange scene.
On one side, a girl was crying uncontrollably while leaning against the knee of a young man in a wheelchair.
On the other side, four adults were being blocked by two large men.
“Who reported gang members here?” one officer asked.
Although he spoke casually, his gaze was fixed on the tall man.
Bai Zhengwen: ???
Who’s a gang member? Him?
Lin Jiangye patted the younger sister’s head and gestured for her to sit in the car first.
He would handle the rest.
After seeing Baobao again and crying her heart out, the younger sister finally felt much lighter.
Once she got into the car, Lin Jiangye wheeled himself toward the officers.
“There are no gang members here. My name is Lin Jiangye. They are my bodyguards,” he said, handing over his identification.
The moment the officers heard his name, they subconsciously clenched their teeth.
Lin Jiangye.
Ordinary people might not recognize that name, but as police officers, they certainly did.
And now this hero—who had nearly died saving children from a criminal—had been reported as a gang member.
Was this some kind of joke?
The officers immediately withdrew their suspicious gazes and turned to glare at the family behind them.
“You called the police without even confirming the other party’s identity?”
If they had really taken Lin Jiangye back to the station as a criminal, their chief might beat them senseless tomorrow.
The former brother-in-law was completely confused. He couldn’t understand why the officers’ attitude had changed so suddenly.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now,” Lin Jiangye said.
He was eager to bring the little dog to the pregnant woman. Her condition was much worse than her sister’s.
Seeing that the officers neither stopped him nor detained anyone, the man who had called the police became dissatisfied.
“Why aren’t you stopping him? What if he really—”
“There’s no ‘what if’! That’s Lin Jiangye, special consultant for the Yue City Public Security Bureau. He ended up in a wheelchair because he jumped from the eleventh floor to protect children. His background is absolutely clean!”
The officer interrupted him sharply.
In the car nearby, the younger sister was hugging Baobao’s spirit, crying and laughing at the same time, leaving the two men in the front seats completely confused.
Bai Zhengwen couldn’t see Baobao’s spirit.
From his perspective, the girl looked like she was hugging empty air and crying hysterically. It was honestly a little creepy.
Meanwhile, Lin Jiangye examined Baobao’s soul.
Both sisters were Baobao’s owners, and their love for the dog was equally strong.
Because of that, the summoned spirit could last about six days.
When they arrived at the residential community, the younger sister jumped out of the car and rushed toward the house while holding Baobao’s spirit.
“Sis! Dad! Mom! Baobao is back!”
The moment she pushed open the door, she shouted excitedly, startling the three depressed people inside.
“What…?” For the past few days he had been resting well, so when he heard what his sister said, his first thought was that he must be dreaming.
After all, in his dreams, Baobao had always been there with him.
But the next second he saw the rural dog in his sister’s arms barking happily. Whether it was its appearance or its eyes, it looked exactly like his Baobao.
“It really is! It’s really him!” the younger sister cried, her voice echoing through the house.
Ever since they mistakenly brought the wrong dog home once, whenever he saw similar-looking village dogs he would fall into a moment of confusion. Especially when facing the stray dog leader they had brought home by mistake earlier—if that dog truly disliked going home with humans, her parents would certainly take it away immediately.
Hearing the younger sister cry out, the others stared blankly at the glowing dog.
Gradually, their eyes also turned red.
“Baobao! Is… is that my Baobao?”
The little dog barked happily, completely free of the fear or darkness of having been taken away and killed.
But that same lively energy, identical to how he used to be, only made the family feel even more guilty and heartbroken.
It was their fault that their Baobao had died so innocently.
Lin Jiangye had already entered the house with the others and thoughtfully closed the door to prevent the crying from reaching the neighbors.
Bai Zhengwen watched the entire family hugging empty air as if something were there. It was honestly a little eerie.
He couldn’t help asking about it.
Lin Jiangye explained, “Maybe because I once stepped halfway through the gates of death and came back, I gained a little ability. I can see the souls of small animals that have died recently.”
He didn’t fully reveal the truth. He slightly modified his ability—changing it from summoning souls to simply being able to see them and guide them to reunite with their beloved owners.
Bai Zhengwen and the other man were somewhat surprised, but after spending so much time around Lin Jiangye and witnessing many strange things, they didn’t consider it particularly shocking anymore.
Besides, Lin Jiangye could only see the souls of animals. Human souls were still invisible to him.
Watching their calm reactions, a faint smile appeared at the corner of the young man’s lips.
After the family calmed down, Lin Jiangye explained the precautions for interacting with Baobao’s spirit.
The first issue was time.
When they heard they could spend about five or six days together, the family immediately begged him to extend it.
“Begging me is useless. It’s not something I can control. Baobao has already passed away. The only reason he’s still here is because he’s worried about you and attached to you. Eventually, he still has to leave.”
His words made everyone fall silent.
“Also, aside from the four of you and me, no one else can see Baobao. Please try to restrain yourselves normally, or the neighbors might think you’ve gone crazy.”
The four people and the dog all nodded tearfully, their eyes filled with gratitude toward Lin Jiangye.
Six days was enough time.
Enough to make up for Baobao and say a proper goodbye.
The pregnant woman’s emotions gradually stabilized. Although her guilt remained, she was no longer as devastated as before.
After testing his new ability, Lin Jiangye prepared to return to Yue City.
He didn’t need to worry too much about what happened afterward. The woman said she would handle everything herself.
However, before leaving, Lin Jiangye gave her two lawyers’ business cards—one specialized in civil law, the other in criminal law. Which one to choose was up to her family.
By the time he returned to Yue City, it was already afternoon.
Lin Jiangye started another livestream.
Before connecting with viewers, he briefly explained the outcome of the pregnant woman’s situation.
When viewers learned she had decided to divorce, many felt relieved.
Of course, a few people in the chat thought divorce was an overreaction, but those comments were quickly drowned out by others.
Lin Jiangye ignored those arguments and continued selecting viewers.
However, the first person he connected with that day was not a pet owner—but the police from Xiayuan City.
“Hello, Advisor Lin! Could we ask you for help?”
It wasn’t just one person. It was an entire police team.
Everyone in the team looked exhausted. Their hair and clothes were messy, clearly showing they had stayed up for several nights.
Xiayuan City?
Lin Jiangye tilted his head. He vaguely remembered hearing about a murder case there a few days earlier.
“What happened? If it’s confidential, send me a private message instead.”
His words eased the officer’s nervousness a little.
“It’s not confidential… the case is like this…”
The murder case had already become widely known throughout Xiayuan City.
The case itself wasn’t difficult. There was evidence, and the suspect had been identified.
But there was one problem.
The suspect had vanished.
“We issued a wanted notice, sealed off exit points, and investigated every possible way he could escape. But after several days, we still can’t find any trace of him leaving the city—or where he’s hiding.”
The leader of the homicide unit was nearly collapsing from pressure. His superiors and even the public had been criticizing him nonstop.
“I truly have no other options. We considered asking you for help earlier, but your injuries haven’t healed…” As he spoke, he had unconsciously changed his form of address from “you” to “sir,” revealing how much pressure he was under.
Lin Jiangye found it strange as well.
Xiayuan City wasn’t a large city. A week had already passed since the truth of the case was uncovered. If the suspect hadn’t escaped, a citywide search should have produced at least some clues.
Someone should have seen him.
He still needed to eat.
Even ordering food delivery should have raised suspicion among delivery workers.
The case had been widely publicized. Citizens should have been alert, especially with the several-thousand-yuan reward—equivalent to a month’s salary for many people.
Yet despite all that, no one had found anything.
“Are you certain he didn’t leave the city?”
The officer nodded firmly.
They had even checked remote paths multiple times. There were no footprints, no tire tracks, and no travel records requiring identification.
“We even investigated illegal taxis,” he said bitterly.
The situation was so pitiful that even the viewers felt sympathy.
After listening to the police explain their efforts, the audience discussed it for a long time but still couldn’t find any flaws in their investigation.
[This really isn’t the police’s fault. They did everything they could. Who knew the suspect might hide like a mole underground?]
Seeing that comment, the team leader nearly burst into tears.
Lin Jiangye thought for a moment.
“Take the camera near the crime scene. Find somewhere with small animals.”
Following his instructions, the officers quickly began moving.
They drove to the crime scene area and found a group of sparrows nearby.
According to Lin Jiangye’s instructions, they bought a bag of millet as payment.
“Place the phone on the ground. Scatter some millet in front of it, then step back a few meters. Come forward only when I tell you.”
Sparrows were timid and easily frightened, so everyone retreated several meters.
The police followed the instructions obediently without objection.
The sparrows had already been watching them from the trees. Seeing the food scattered and the humans retreating, the hungry birds couldn’t resist.
They flew down one by one and began pecking the millet.
“If you eat my food, you have to help me,” Lin Jiangye said.
At that moment, Bixi landed on his shoulder and chirped toward the sparrows on the screen.
[Can you help us? These humans have even more food. If you help, you can eat as much as you want.]
The sparrows initially ignored Lin Jiangye.
But when Bixi spoke, they immediately looked up.
[Help?]
“Yes. Help find a person. If you find him, those humans have a whole bag of food for you.”
The sparrows were surprised that a human could speak with them.
But food quickly captured their attention.
[Food! Food! Food! Chirp! Food!]
This was the first time Lin Jiangye had publicly demonstrated his police work in front of tens of thousands of viewers.
Yesterday they had seen him direct a Ragdoll cat to catch a thief and guide stray dogs to find a lost pet.
But commanding wild animals to track a murderer was on an entirely different level.
Soon the officers showed the suspect’s photo to the sparrows.
[Is this really enough to catch the killer?]
[I have no idea.]
[Now I understand why people in Yue City are so confident. If catching criminals becomes this easy, who would dare commit crimes there?]
Normally criminals deliberately choose places without surveillance cameras or witnesses.
But now they also had to worry about animals nearby.
What if birds, mice, or other small creatures were watching?
[That’s terrifying. These little animals are so small—no one would notice them hiding in corners.]
That comment made several criminals secretly watching the livestream feel chills run down their backs.
Lin Jiangye couldn’t talk to insects, but the fear his ability created could still discourage many crimes.
After observing the photo for a while, one sparrow suddenly chirped.
[I’ve seen him!]
Lin Jiangye wasn’t surprised.
He had intentionally asked near the crime scene, hoping to find “witnesses.” These animals might have seen where the suspect went.
His plan was simple—follow the direction the animals indicated and keep asking animals along the way.
Eventually, they would find the suspect.
But reality often surprised humans.
The sparrow remembered the man—not because he was a murderer, but because he had fallen into a manure pit and died.
“Wha—what???”
Lin Jiangye had been drinking water and nearly choked.
Everyone looked at him curiously.
“What did the sparrows say?”
“You’re sure you didn’t see wrong? He fell into a manure pit and died?”
After a brief silence, the livestream exploded with question marks.
Even the police and Jiang Xin watching nearby were equally stunned.
[Yes! He died! Chirp! Want me to take you there? It smells terrible!]
Lin Jiangye pressed his temples and pointed at the Xiayuan police.
“Follow the sparrows. They’ll lead you there.”
Soon, a flock of chirping sparrows led a group of bewildered humans toward a nearby manure pit.
Technically it wasn’t a pit—it was just a hole where nearby cattle farms dumped waste.
As they approached, a strong stench hit them.
The officers’ faces turned pale.
The team leader carefully leaned forward and saw something resembling a human figure inside.
Using a stick, he stirred the contents.
In front of a horrified audience, a corpse emerged—its lifeless eyes staring at the sky.
Fortunately, he quickly covered the camera so viewers wouldn’t see the gruesome image.
Looking at the face identical to the wanted poster, the team leader felt conflicted.
They had found the suspect.
But he was already dead.
Could someone else have killed him?
At that moment, Lin Jiangye asked through the phone:
“How did he die?”
The sparrows immediately chirped excitedly.
[He stepped on poop and slipped in!]
The audience stared at Lin Jiangye’s strange expression.
[So… that’s how he died?]
After hearing the translation, the screen filled with question marks again.
Finally, the Xiayuan police decided to investigate further.
After thanking Lin Jiangye, they ended the connection to continue their work.
Meanwhile the viewers were still processing the bizarre case.
[After seeing this, I feel like more and more police will start calling Advisor Lin during livestreams to solve cases.]
That comment suddenly struck many police officers watching the stream.
Of course!
Even if Advisor Lin couldn’t travel easily, he could still control animals remotely through livestreams!
What a brilliant idea!
At that exact moment, Lin Jiangye suddenly felt a strange sensation—as if many people were staring at him.
There was no malice in it.
But somehow… it still felt a little strange.
