I was so angry that my nose almost became crooked, "How can you tell we're a burglar group! We don't even have a screwdriver, so we can't pry open the door even if we wanted to! "
The two old ladies were unmoved, and the hunchbacked one said: "Old Zhang's door wasn't pried open with a screwdriver! I heard the burglar only left half a piece of tin foil in the keyhole! You're all experts who graduated from Shandong Lanxiang! Why would you need a screwdriver? "
I slept in bed for two years, but I never expected Shandong Lanxiang's name to be known by everyone. I couldn't help but sweat a bit.
Peng TouSi learned the unique skill of picking locks with tin foil online, but the class leader and I don't have the talent, so we might not be able to learn it even if we were forced to.
The class leader was surprised when she saw me coming upstairs to help her out. She guessed I had been following her since the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental.
The class leader was naturally a bit dissatisfied with my silent tailing, but now was not the time to pursue it. The most important thing was to clear up the misunderstanding with the residents.
"Auntie, we really aren't burglars. This is my student ID, please take a look — —"
The class leader had the habit of carrying her ID with her. It's probably in preparation for when she becomes a criminal police officer in the future.
The old lady with the matchmaker mole on her face took the class leader's student ID and looked at it for a full five minutes. The class leader and I thought she saw a huge flaw, but we never expected her to hand the student ID to her companion and said: "I've never been to school, so I only recognize two Chinese characters."
"Damn, why did you look at it for so long if you're illiterate?" I couldn't help but retort.
At this time, the security guard also came up and stood on the side to observe the situation. Since he was wearing a black and white security uniform, he felt like he didn't have to reveal his identity.
Sun Yu did not follow, but I never expected him to help me. I just don't know where he went with the six cans of beer.
"So what if I'm illiterate?" The matchmaker old lady snorted, "Can't an illiterate person compare the photo on the ID to see if it's the real person?"
The other hunchbacked old lady read the class leader's student ID:
"Dong Shan City Qing Zi High School, Shu Sha, 66010200402 – 2013530331 …"
He had even read out the 21 numbers of the school! It seemed that not only was this tall old lady not illiterate, but she also had good eyesight!
The security guard exclaimed in surprise. He stretched his neck to take a look at the student ID card and pinched the material that resembled a bank card. After determining that it wasn't a fake, he said in amazement,
"Before Qing Zi High School and Qing Zi Junior High School were established, they were private schools for nobles! Even now, the school fees are quite expensive. The students in this school usually come from well-to-do families. I don't think they would go as far as picking locks and stealing things, right? "
"Who says you can't steal things if you're from a wealthy family?" "A few days ago, I saw a little foreign girl get caught stealing potato chips in the supermarket! She was someone who had bodyguards and sat in a private car! In the end, he stole worthless potato chips for the thrill of it! I can't understand the youngsters nowadays! "
F * ck! The foreign girl who was caught stealing chips is Ai Mi, right? It must be Ai Mi, right? You've finally slipped and been captured, haven't you? How embarrassing! It's so embarrassing that you can't even mention it to me!
In fact, Ai ShuQiao still strictly forbade Ai Mi from drinking cola and eating potato chips. It seems strange to me — — she even quit the entertainment industry, so why is she so obsessed with cola and potato chips?
Is Ai ShuQiao trying to remind Ai Mi that she still has absolute control over Ai Mi, so Ai Mi can't get rid of her control?
"We didn't do anything illegal." The class leader gradually regained her composure because the plastic film on the door handle had already been torn off. She secretly stuffed the torn plastic film into her jeans pocket while explaining, "I was commissioned by a small animal protection organization to investigate the abuse and killing of stray cats in Dong Shan city!"
Other than Ma Huiyu and the others who stopped a car on the highway to save a dog, there are several other animal protection organizations in Dong Shan city. Xiao Ding even served as the head of one of the animal protection organizations. I'm not sure if the class leader was commissioned by one of the animal protection organizations, or if she found the possible whereabouts of the demon cat abuser on the animal protection organization's website, so she came to investigate.
"Really?" The hunchbacked old woman's expression softened after she heard the class leader's words and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, "I was feeding the stray cats next to the bike shed last year, and they were all poisoned to death by rat poison! The police didn't do anything even when I called 110, but now someone is finally taking care of it! "
Sure enough, cat lovers are one family. I've heard of a certain cat-loving traffic police officer who stopped a private car for running a red light and found that there was a cat in the car that needed to go to the pet hospital. He immediately let the car go and didn't even write a ticket.
The class leader was also very excited to see a fellow cat lover. She showed some photos on her phone to the hunchbacked old woman, "Auntie, this is a photo of the cat abuser's back taken by the animal protection organization at night. Although I can't see his face clearly, I'm sure he returned to this neighborhood!"
The security guard interrupted: "Auntie Zheng, the cats you fed last year kept barking under the window and disturbed people's sleep. Someone took care of them, and some of the residents thought they got rid of a pest!"
Before he even finished speaking, the security guard received double looks of disdain from the class leader and the hunchbacked old woman.
"What do you mean took care of it? Can't you just tell me if you think the cats are a nuisance? I can always find a place for them to live in! Did you have to do that? A few of the kittens haven't even weaned yet! What a sin … "
Auntie Zheng said while wiping a few tears.
"That's right." The class leader also agreed, "If that's the case, you can call people who like cats to adopt them! I'm sure there are a lot of good people in Dong Shan city! Next time if you have a stray cat, you can give it to … "
The class leader was originally going to say "you can give it to me", but she thought about it and realized that the school dorms didn't allow pets, and her hunter's aura would scare ordinary kittens, so she pointed at me and changed her words:
"You can give it to him! He really likes cats! Right? "
She raised her face slightly, hoping for a response, and her eyes flashed with a bit of uneasiness.
Although I vowed to never raise pets again after my pet dog died, if there is a stray cat that needs to be adopted, I can give it to Ai Mi, or Xiao Ding from the Love Pet Hospital, or even let Xiao Qin help take care of it.
Thus I nodded and promised: "Next time this happens, you can give the cat to me and I'll give it to a good family."
Since I didn't look as friendly as the class leader, Auntie Zheng looked at me doubtfully and asked: "Do you really like cats?"
I frowned a bit awkwardly, "Yeah, I really like cats. When I first watched 'Tom and Jerry', I always hoped that the cats would win."
The security guard saw that our misunderstanding had been resolved and said: "I actually prefer Tom and Jerry working together to beat up other people!"
The matchmaker probably didn't like cats. She felt like she was being ostracized when she saw the four of us happily discussing cats, so she said coldly:
"Since this little girl isn't here to steal, then I'll go upstairs and rest. The Korean drama is about to start in a bit …"
It might be because the photo evidence provided by animal protection organizations wasn't detailed enough. Although the class leader was sure that the cat abuser was a resident of Rhine River District, building 6, unit 9, she wasn't sure which house it was. She asked the security guard and Auntie Zheng, but the information she got was limited.
"… So, other than a litter of stray cats that were poisoned last June, there haven't been any more incidents of stray cats being abused in Rhine River District?"
The class leader put her thumb on her lower lip and closed her eyes as she thought about the meaning of the available information.
"Although there haven't been any more incidents of cat abuse in Rhine River District, the nearby Ximeng District, Tiantong District, and Honglou Beijie District have an average of one vicious incident of cat abuse every month. The probability of occurrence is higher than other places in Dong Shan City …"
"Does this mean that the cat abuser doesn't eat the grass near his nest?" I put forward my own thoughts, "Ever since he poisoned a stray cat last June, he liked the feeling of cat abuse. He can't stop, so he often commits crimes in other nearby districts, and from time to time, he would extend his reach even further away from Dong Shan City."
The class leader nodded, just like Sherlock Holmes praising Watson, and confirmed my speculation.
"The cat abuser has been active in Dong Shan City since June last year. I think we're already very close to becoming a criminal."
The security guard quickly returned to his post because he still had to guard the main gate. Auntie Zheng volunteered to take us to visit the bicycle shed where the tragedy happened. It was as if she treated the class leader as a special agent who was here to seek justice for the cat clan.
After so much time had passed, there was naturally no evidence left at the bicycle shed. However, the class leader still couldn't help but sigh after listening to Auntie Zheng's description of the tragedy.
From the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw Sun Yu quietly sneak into the unit after we left the corridor of unit 9 with the six cans of beer. He even looked back from time to time as if he was worried someone was following him.
Strange … it's normal for Sun Yu to not greet me, but since he likes to attract girls' attention, why didn't he say a single word when he saw the class leader? Was it because I was next to him?
No, that's not right! How could there be such a coincidence? The cat abuser lives in unit 9, and Sun Yu also happens to live in unit 9?
Also, last June was the first time the cat abuser took action. That time was when the third year students were facing their high school exams! Because of the pressure, he felt the stray cats in the district were especially annoying. He didn't receive any punishment after he poisoned them, so he fell in love with this method of releasing pressure. Isn't that a reasonable speculation?
Thinking up to this point, I shouted at Sun Yu's back: "Stop! You're a cat abuser! Don't think I haven't seen through your true colors! "
Regardless of whether the evidence is sufficient or not, I'll first trick him and see if he'll confess himself.
