Chris saw off the last customer in the store, turned over the sign on the door of the store that it was temporarily closed, walked into the staff lounge and opened the case file sent by the system to look through it.
The disappearance case started half a month ago, and four people including Peter have disappeared so far. The reason why it can be confirmed that the same murderer is responsible is because the scene of the crime has left traces that are very similar to lion paw prints and Mao Mao, all the victims seemed to disappear out of thin air. The surveillance cameras only captured the scene where they entered but did not capture the scene where they went out, nor did they capture any suspicious people entering or leaving.
And except for Peter, all the victims have been accused of abusing or killing cats or related suspicions, and before Peter disappeared, someone maliciously stuffed the cat's body in the locker, which is also related to the cat.
Cat……
Chris knocked on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there any surveillance video of the crime scene?"
[There are only two live ones. ]
[Has been sent. ]
The quality of surveillance in New York is as moving as Gotham. The blurry images and the fact that the crime occurred was at night, without a certain association and ability to complete the screen, it is estimated that even the faces of people cannot be clearly distinguished.
Chris flicked the monitoring screen with his fingertips and paused for a certain moment. He controlled the zoomed-in corner of the monitoring screen to adjust the clarity, and raised his eyebrows clearly.
It was a few cats who walked in swaggeringly before the victim disappeared, but never came out again.
The human who abused the cat disappeared mysteriously, leaving cat fur and paw prints at the scene, and the cat was also photographed in the surveillance video. If ordinary people are aware of these things, they will only regard it as a coincidence, at most like the BAU team It was deduced that the cat that appeared at the scene was domesticated by the murderer, but in Chris's eyes, the scattered clues were strung together like beads, and a flat road was laid out in front of him.
Well, it's also possible that the thorns are all over the place.
Chris puts on his coat and gets up to go out.
……
The sun at twelve o'clock at noon is just right, an abandoned building in Queens, New York stands silently on the corner of the street. The miserable concrete pillars, even the most mischievous troublemakers in Queens have no interest in coming here to explore, but it is precisely because the outer walls are riddled with holes that the sunlight can fully shine in, and it is also secluded and safe enough not to be disturbed. It has become a safe haven for stray cats.
Most of these cats gather on the third floor—the first and second floors are blocked from the sun by the surrounding buildings, and there is a risk of not escaping in time if something happens, while the third floor can enjoy just the right time. In the sunshine, if there is a slight disturbance, you can leave and jump off the wall outside, and run away without a trace in an instant.
Afternoon is the rest time for these stray cats. They lie down, lie down or lazily turn their bellies out in twos and threes. They are drowsy in the warm sun in spring, lazy and relaxed like those domestic cats who don’t know the sufferings of the world. Cat, making a very comfortable little purr.
However, when the sound of human footsteps sounded downstairs, the cozy and lazy atmosphere suddenly changed. Those stray cats who had been half asleep and half asleep as if they had no bones woke up the moment the sound sounded, and looked at each other one by one Squinting his eyes, he transformed from a harmless cutie into a dangerous hunter in an instant.
They didn't panic and run away like ordinary cats, but gathered around the broken outer wall in a guarded posture.
There was a cat lying on the broken wall, its pure black fur was shone by the sun as if it was covered with a pure gold cloak, its eyes were half-closed in a lazy and indifferent manner, and its long tail was hanging down and swaying gently from side to side. It shows a kind of calmness and restraint that is different from other stray cats, only the bright emerald color faintly reveals in the eyes, shining with a transparent and wise brilliance.
Like a king on the throne.
Humans broke in through the dilapidated gate with only the threshold, and walked straight to the cat on the broken wall without any respect. If the cat is the king, then this is a rude and rude visitor, completely ignoring the low growls of stray cats around. , The soles of the boots collided with the ground to make a dull sound, which was in harmony with the sound of the cane hitting the ground.
"Be quiet, cats." The human smiled casually. With just the right amount of strength, the cane pushed the stray cats in front of him away, twirled gracefully on the fingertips, and landed on the ground. head.
"Good day." He said to the black cat on the broken wall, the drawn-out sound was obviously insincere, but he nodded perfunctorily on the surface, and he didn't even bend his waist halfway, which made the second half of his sentence even more mocking, " My lord."
The black cat finally opened its eyes. Those sharp and cold eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. Its jaw tightened, showing the annoyance of being violated by rudeness. As a result, the stray cats around became more irritable and restless.
But it didn't get angry and lose its mind because of this, it just calmly looked at the humans in front of it with evaluation eyes, as if silently weighing each other's strength, the humans smiled and looked at him without fear or respect, the light-colored The eyes are opposite to the emerald cat pupils, and it only sees a superior mocking smile in the cold eyes that seem to be inorganic.
It is not the king's arrogance to his subjects, but the coldness of the gods looking down on human beings.
It has been a long time, and there is a trace of trembling and fear in such eyes.
A moment later, the black cat's tail curled up in front of its paws, and it raised its chin slightly, as if silently inquiring about the intention of the human being. Its posture carried the unique elegance and arrogance of cats, but it also showed an indescribable sense of dignity and majesty.
Even if the enemy army is approaching the city, the king should wear armor and hold the sword, and stick to the throne without retreating.
"My clerk is missing, and I saw your knight on the surveillance camera." The human showed a milder expression because of its attitude. He stroked the shiny handle of the cane, and the sunlight dragged his shadow for a long time. Distorted and deformed like a demon who chooses and devours.
"I hope there's some explanation for that - violence is always the last option, isn't it?"
"My respected, wise Majesty Casey."
Casey, not Kathy, but CaitSith.
Legend has it that human beings who abuse cats will receive due punishment, and they will also gently comfort the abused cats, and even let the ghosts of innocent dead cats rest in peace. His Majesty the king who rules the kingdom of cats is wise and powerful.
Yes, even though he eats and drinks in the spice tea shop every day, this is also a real His Majesty the King.
Cathy Cat glanced at the humans indifferently, changed from lying down to squatting unhurriedly, and finally said: "Good day, humans."
It can speak human language, just like human beings can master several foreign languages. The cat’s voice is deep and very magnetic, and it will still unconsciously bring a slightly rising tail sound like a cat’s meow when speaking, which makes him feel majestic. Yu added a little sense of acquaintance.
"My name is Chris." Chris said, his contemptuous attitude made the stray cats around him feel extremely displeased, and they showed their sharp claws and fangs to defend the dignity of their king.
"It's okay." Cathy raised its front paw slightly to suppress the restlessness of the cats, and fixed its eyes on Chris and said calmly, "My knight never catches innocent people."
"I don't mean any accusations, Your Majesty." Chris took out the monitoring screen that was printed out along the way, "It's just the truth."
He withdrew his domineering aura, and said kindly as if he had no temper at all.
Cathy lowered her eyes, gracefully jumped down from the broken wall, tapped her paw on the printed photo, and asked after a while, "When did it happen?"
"Two days ago." Chris replied softly.
"Two days ago, they did report an operation to me." Cathy Cat said, "They believed it was an executioner who killed our cubs."
"It was just an unpleasant revenge," Chris explained. "You should know how much Peter likes cats."
Cathy the cat is silent. As a frequent visitor to Chris’s store, it certainly knows how much the boy named Peter likes cats, like a happy and bright little sun. Cub striker.
But at the same time, it also believed that its knights would never do something that would disgrace the prestige of the cat kingdom and make it ashamed—taking innocent people as sinners and putting them in jail, and taking punishment that they shouldn't bear.
"I can't just take your word for it," Cathy insisted, "just like I can't blindly trust my knight."
It jumped up the broken wall again and asked, "I ask again, do you firmly believe that your clerk is innocent?"
"I'm sure." Chris tapped his cane on the ground, showing a bit of sharpness.
"So, are you willing to confront my knight in court and prove his innocence?" Cathy Cat asked again, sitting on the broken wall, his sharp eyes collided with Chris's, and his momentum was not weak at all. .
"I am willing." Chris put his hands on the cane, and suddenly asked with a sneer, "When I prove Peter's innocence, are you willing to find out the truth and impose strict rewards and punishments?!"
"If he is really innocent, I will never spare any guilty person who insults the honor of knights." Cathy Cat said without hesitation, "But if he is really guilty—"
"Then I should be guilty of the same crime." Chris's walking stick fell heavily on the ground, turning into fine golden fluorescent lights. He exhaled lightly and asked slowly with a smile, "Is this okay?"
"..." Cathy Cat stared at Chris, and suddenly shook his beard as if laughing, "Humans..."
He said as if sighing, turned around and jumped down to the outside, "Follow up."
The broken wall is as high as a three-story building. Although for a cat, it can easily land on the narrow steel cable of the outer wall, but for a human, once they jump, the only option is to hit the ground directly. Kai After Ximao disappeared behind the broken wall, Chris rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hands to support the broken wall, and turned over without any hesitation.
It takes less than a second to fall straight down from the third floor. Cathy cat stood on the narrow fence under the broken wall and watched Chris fall from the upstairs and hit the ground straight. The human did not hesitate at all. , even when he was about to hit the ground headfirst, he didn't make any attempt to protect himself, just let himself fall down.
human beings...
It licked its paw and jumped down from the wall to the ground.
There was a bright light on the ground, and when the light faded, both Cathy and Chris were gone.
It was as if Alice had fallen down a rabbit hole, and Chris felt that he was being forced into a passage that was so narrow that he could not breathe , and was soon overwhelmed by the strange pain in the body as if the bones were out of place.
[Map - Cat Kingdom is open]
[Acquisition parts silver-gray gradual dyeing, silver-gray cat tail, the map of the cat kingdom will be mandatory equipment]
[Explore the map and there will be a chance to get the suit - plush gentleman]
Alice fell down the rabbit hole, and Chris rolled out of the corridor like a ball, rolling dizzily twice before hitting something and stopping.
"This is really..." The handsome young man with curly black hair like seaweed and emerald eyes looked at Chris with a little surprise and emotion, the black cat ears on his head and the black cat tail behind him trembled a few times, "Unbelievable..."
He carefully lifts the limp, palm-sized ball of gray fur from the ground, facing Chris's light-colored pupils.
The same sharp as a knife, but because of the change in the shape of the eyes, it has a bit of cute childishness.
"Mi...what's going on?" Chris opened his mouth and mimed subconsciously before recovering his voice.
"In my kingdom, human beings will become animals." The young man, that is, Cathy Cat, who has a human form, said, looking at Chris's tender meat pads with admiration, and the majesty of the original tit-for-tat With a little bit of gentleness and kindness, Wei said, "But no human can turn into a cat. You look like a cub of my clan."
Chris looked at himself in the shape of a kitten reflected in those beautiful emerald eyes, silently showed his paws, and put two red marks on the nose of His Majesty Casey.
The disappearance case started half a month ago, and four people including Peter have disappeared so far. The reason why it can be confirmed that the same murderer is responsible is because the scene of the crime has left traces that are very similar to lion paw prints and Mao Mao, all the victims seemed to disappear out of thin air.
