Tried to trick me into raising a cat again

Unable to find a paper figurine, Qu Yanning had no choice but to take Xie Qi to the store. If you are idle at home, you are still idle. Why don't you go to the store to help and kill time.

The injury on Qu Yanning's shoulder is still not healed, and Xue Li has to go to the store early, and there is no time to make breakfast, so the two of them have breakfast outside during this time. Xie Qi likes to eat soup dumplings from a shop across the street, and Qu Yanning As usual, take him to buy buns first.

The soup dumpling business was good, and after queuing for a while, Qu Yanning walked slowly into the shop with the packed soup dumplings.

Morning is the most leisure time of the day, Qu Yanning said good morning to Xue Li and the others, and invited them to eat buns together.

He packed three servings, Xie Qi had one alone, and the others shared it.

The soup dumplings had just come out of the oven, and they were still steaming hot. The cat's tongue couldn't eat the hot ones, so Qu Yanning specially used a small plate for him to put the steamed buns out to cool.

The thin bun skin is wrapped with delicious soup and meat stuffing. Xie Qi leaned forward and stuck out his tongue to test the temperature. When he felt that it was not hot, he bit off the top tip of the soup dumpling first, and then Drink the soup inside bit by bit, and finally eat the whole soup dumpling in your stomach.

After he finished eating, Qu Yanning wiped his mouth with a tissue, Xie Qi snorted contentedly, jumped onto his lap and lay down lazily.

"Little boss, whoever is your girlfriend must be very happy." The older sister Zhang teased, "If you are so kind to cats, you must be more considerate to your girlfriend."

Qu Yanning pursed her lips and smiled shyly, Xie Qi glanced at Sister Zhang who was speaking, narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.

Sister Zhang wanted to say something, but the conversation was interrupted by a voice from the door, "Hey, are you all there?"

Wang Li, carrying a basket of fruit in his hand, entered the door to greet Qu Yanning.

"Captain Wang, why are you here?" Qu Yanning asked in surprise.

"This is for you," Wang Li continued, putting the fruit on the table, "I just found out about your injury yesterday, and I just came here today when I had time."

Qu Yanning beckoned him to sit down and offered him a cup of tea, "How did you know I was hospitalized?"

Wang Li let out a cheer, he drank half a glass of water, wiped his mouth and said, "A while ago there was an accident in a game, and I was dispatched to assist the local police in handling the case. Throw the Jianghong Road case to me again."

"Do you know Jianghong Road?" Wang Li said: "When I checked the case records, I found that the second victim was you, so I came here."

Qu Yanning stroked the cat and said with a smile: "The last time I was in the hospital, it was Xue Li who did it in the past, and it didn't help me."

Wang Li smiled brightly, "Actually, I came here this time to ask you something, but we are so familiar, so there is no need to be so serious. Find a teahouse, and brother will chat with you slowly?"

It was fine anyway, Qu Yanning explained to Xue Li and the others, and went out with Wang Li.

The two walked to the teahouse together, and Zhang Li saw Xie Qi.Surprised: "The longer you grow, the more majestic you cat is."

When I was young, I looked at it as a soft ball, but I didn't expect to grow up, strong and mighty, with a king character in the middle of the forehead, if it weren't for the pointed ears, I would look like a tiger cub.

Qu Yanning touched the cat's ears and said with a smile, "It's grown a lot."

Wang Li looked at it for a while, and said with a little envy, "You are such a good cat. If you have a cub in the future, remember to leave one for me."

"..." Qu Yanning coughed in embarrassment, stroked Xie Qi who was about to explode, and said vaguely that we can talk about it later.

Wang Li just mentioned it casually, and didn't pay much attention to it, and went into the teahouse with him.

Guangzhou has a strong tea culture, and teahouses can be seen everywhere. The two found a secluded place by the window, ordered a pot of tea and snacks, and chatted while eating.

"Did the person who attacked you see clearly?" Wang Li asked.

Qu Yanning told him the situation at that time. He remembered the monster's appearance very clearly, but even if the police restored the monster's appearance based on his statement, the monster was still elusive, and no one could find him.

Wang Li pondered for a while, and asked, "Do you think that... is it a human or a ghost?"

"The talisman is not very useful to him," Qu Yanning explained, "And Xie Qi also said that that monster is not a ghost."

Naturally, Wang Li would not doubt Xie Qi's ability, but he also couldn't figure out who would grow up to that appearance, and also like to drink human blood and eat internal organs, all of this is too unimaginable.

"If it is determined that it is an inhuman incident, you can ask the National Security Office to take action, but since the second master said it was human..." Wang Li smiled wryly, "I'm busy again these days."

"The public servant of the people is the people," Qu Yanning joked, "If you can help me, just say it."

After morning tea, Wang Li had to go back to the bureau. Before he left, he said that he would invite him to dinner after the case was solved, but Qu Yanning agreed with a smile.

After rubbing his stuffed stomach, Qu Yanning burped.

Xie Qi thoughtfully pressed the cat's paws on his belly, wanting to rub his belly, who knew that after pressing twice, Qu Yanning couldn't help laughing, and grabbed the two cat's paws, "Hey Don't press, don't press, itchy hahaha..."

Xie Qi shook his ears, and with a guilty conscience pulled back a paw.

On the other hand, Qu Yanning laughed too hard, accidentally lost his breath, hiccupped so hard that his face turned red.

While hiccupping, he wanted to hug Xie Qi, "Hiuer~ Let's go back to the store, hiccup."

Xie Qi raised his paw to pat him on the chest to comfort him, but halfway through the lift he hesitated to put it down, worried that it would be the same as before, which made him laugh even harder.

Qu Yanning drank two cups of warm water in succession before hiccups stopped.

He rubbed his belly and went to the store with Xie Qi.

His wounds were not fully healed, and Xue Li and the others didn't let him do too much work, they just let him occupy a table and sit in a daze, and they didn't even let him take the cash.

Qu Yanning held his face and sighed, squeezed his arms, and muttered that he didn't know when it would be all right.

Seeing that he was bored, Xie Qi meowed to attract his attention, Qu Yanning really looked at him, Xie Qi pursed one ear shyly, and showed his white belly for the first time after revealing his identity.

Qu Yanning looked at Mao Huhu's belly greedily, and resisted not touching it.

Xie Qi patted his tail up and down displeasedly, pursed his ears with a cat face, and held his hand on his belly with two paws.

The fluffy belly is softer to the touch than the back hair. When Qu Yanning moved his fingers, it felt as if he had touched a ball of soft cotton.

The cat's paw pressed his hand, Xie Qi's ears were a little hot, and his ears trembled in shame. He turned around and buried his face in Qu Yanning's arms, as if you were touching me casually when I was going to sleep.

Qu Yanning moved his hands, and lightly touched the hairy belly twice. Xie Qi buried his head in his arms without any movement, only his two pointed ears were pressed back to the back of his head.

After petting the cat obsessively for a long time, Qu Yanning felt elated, and finally found the happiness of petting the cat again, but Xie Qi was a little out of his mind, and the whole cat was a little listless after sleeping.

Qu Yanning rubbed the cat's head, "Why are you listless?"

Xie Qi let out a weak meow, and recalled the dream he had just now, he secretly glanced at Qu Yanning, his ears trembled, and his tail went around guiltily.

Qu Yanning didn't notice the cat's thoughts. He thought Xie Qi was still asleep, so he rubbed the cat's head. Qu Yanning took the cat home first.

As soon as he opened the door, a funny face rushed over.Excitement smeared on Qu Yanning's face.

Qu Yanning was almost frightened by it and had a heart attack. He tore it off his face and asked with a stern face, "What are you doing?"

However, the funny face seems to have not lit up the skill point of looking at the face from the moment it was created. Its eyeballs rolled around and gesticulated excitedly.

Qu Yanning: "...??"

Qu Yanning looked at it in bewilderment.

The funny face gestured excitedly for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem to understand, he pulled his trousers and pulled him out again.

"Where do you want to take me?" Qu Yanning was staggered by him, picked him up with two fingers and shook him.

Xie Qi took the initiative to change back to human form and said, "It said it found a clue to the monster."

"Huh?" Qu Yanning seemed to be meeting Funny Face for the first time, putting him on the palm of his hand, and rarely praised it, "So you disappeared so early in the morning, just to find the trace of the monster?"

The funny face proudly puffed out its thin chest, its eyeballs slid left and right triumphantly, and pointed to the door.

Just coming back and going out again, Qu Yanning sighed and said, "I'll inform Captain Wang first."

After he finished the call, Xie Qi said, "You rest at home, I'll just go over."

Qu Yanning put on a funny face, shook his head, and said that we should go together, after all, he was still curious about what kind of monster was attacking him.

The two went out together, and the funny face was put into the pocket again. Qu Yanning warned him very seriously, saying that there will be other people coming later, so let him hide it in the pocket, so as not to scare anyone .

The funny face gave Qu Yanning a high-five with an aggrieved face, agreeing.

Hearing that there was a clue, Wang Li came directly with two subordinates. He wanted to ask why there was a clue so soon, but when he saw Xie Qi at the intersection of Jianghong Road, he immediately understood.

"Did the second master find out?"

Xie Qi waved his hand and walked forward, "Go and see."

A group of people walked into the street. Wang Li went to the police normally this time. He and his subordinates were both wearing police uniforms. Scattered people on both sides of the street closed their doors tightly after seeing them, and only cast curious glances from behind the windows.

Xie Qi followed the clues provided by the paper figurine, walked inside, and when he reached the end of the street, he saw a lonely house.

It is not appropriate to say that it is lonely, but it is not as close as the houses in front of it, and it is still a few meters away from the nearest house. dead end.

"right here?"

Wang Li recalled the information in his memory, "After the accident, our people went door-to-door to investigate, but this house seems to be deserted, and the doors and windows are locked—"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Qi pushed the door open.

Wang Li shut his mouth in silence, and asked his two subordinates to stay outside, and he followed Xie Qi and the others to go in together.

After opening the door, the serious face hiding in the crack of the door took the opportunity to climb onto Qu Yanning's body, and hid it in the pocket together with the funny face.

Wang Li looked around as he walked in.

The first floor is a typical configuration of a small hair salon. Several mirrors are installed on the wall. A leather chair is placed in front of one mirror. There is a set of sofas and coffee tables in the corner. The dark red sofa cover is covered with thin dust.

Xie Qi walked forward unhurriedly, the floor of the room was a bit dirty, the trash can in the corner was not empty, it was already moldy, and there was a faint stench coming out.

Wang Li looked around and said that it looked normal here.

"Go down and have a look."

Xie Qi didn't answer, just stepped forward and went down the stairs.

Going down from the first floor is the basement. There are two doors between the stairs and the basement. The outer one is an iron gate and the inner one is an iron gate.

"The basement is still locked so tightly, what kind of treasure is there?" Wang Li gently pulled the door, and the door opened.He froze for a moment, subconsciously looked at the door lock, the door lock was broken.

The same is true for the iron door inside. It opened with a slight push of the upper hand, and it looked like it had been violently damaged.

The basement was pitch black, with no light source at all. Wang Li groped for a long time on the wall before he found the light switch.

With a soft snap, the lights in the basement came on, illuminating the appearance inside.

There is a lot of space inside, but things are piled up in a mess, the ground is full of sundries, and there are even scattered chicken feathers falling on the ground.

A bed was placed in the innermost corner, and the pillows and quilts on the bed were also thrown on the ground, and the cotton wool in the pillows was exposed and fell to the ground, rolling black.

"People have lived here." Wang Li frowned. There was not even a window in the basement, and there was an unpleasant rancid smell in the room. It was unknown who could live there.

Xie Qi walked straight towards the only bed. The closer he got to the bed, the heavier the rancid smell. Xie Qi frowned uncomfortably, stepped back a little, and said to Wang Li, "There is something under the bed."

Wang Li covered his nose and lifted the sheet, revealing a red bucket underneath.Wang Li held his breath and pulled out the red barrel, took a look inside, and almost vomited it out on the spot.

The bucket was full of chicken heads, chicken bones, and scattered chicken feathers.I don't know how long it has been left, but maggots have already grown.

Enduring his nausea, Wang Li stuffed the bucket back, put down the bed sheet and let out a sigh of relief: "This family is too careless, they just throw the chicken in the bucket after eating..."

Halfway through his words, his expression suddenly became serious. He pulled out the red bucket and looked at it again, and said with an ugly face: "These chickens are eaten raw."

The leftovers were thrown into the bucket, no wonder there were chicken feathers in the house.

In the dim room, Qu Yanning shivered, subconsciously leaned towards Xie Qi's side, "Eat it raw?" Who would eat chicken raw?

The monster's blood-stained teeth suddenly flashed across his mind, and he stammered, "That monster...couldn't be living here?"

Wang Li frowned deeply, "Let someone block this place first, and then ask the people nearby."

Coming out of the dark basement, Qu Yanning squinted his eyes uncomfortably, breathed fresh air again, and felt a lot more relaxed.

The people brought by Wang Li stayed behind to guard the house, while the three of them walked to the nearest house.

The woman looking out from the window hastily withdrew her head and even drew the curtains tightly.

Wang Li knocked on the door, "Hello, the police are handling the case, please open the door, I need to ask you about something."

A woman's voice came from the room, "Officer, have you made a mistake? I'm a good citizen, so go find someone else."

Wang Li's brows twitched, and his tone slowed down, "It's about the previous murder case. I want to ask about the owner of the house next door."

"What happened next door?" The woman opened the window and poked her face out.

"Again? Did something happen to that family before?" Wang Li asked.

The woman flicked the broken hair by her ear, with a strong smell of dust in her movements, she lowered her voice and said: "The one who lives there is Jinhua, she went in last month, she is the most beautiful girl on our street. Looks good, business is going well..."

Wang Li's face darkened, and he coughed heavily.

The woman's face froze, and she ran her fingers through the curly hair, "Oh, I'm not used to it, I've done my best, officer, you can't arrest me."

"What did she do?" Wang Li asked bluntly.

The woman said resentfully: "What else could be the reason? Taking drugs, it's despicable enough to be in our line of work. If you touch something you shouldn't touch again, your life will really be over."

There was some regret in her words, but her expression was a little gloating, and she talked like a cannonball.

Wang Li frowned after listening to her, and grasped the point, "She lives alone? Does she have no relatives?"

The woman said yes, "Who dares to tell the family members like us, usually a few sisters will be friends as companions, and it is easy to get business, but the parents are good-looking and don't worry about no business, and they are not afraid of living alone. .”

Wang Li exchanged glances with them, there was obviously something wrong with this golden flower.

"Is there anything special about the golden flower you mentioned?" Wang Li asked in deliberation.

"Does it count as a particularly good job?" The woman covered her mouth and giggled.

Wang Li frowned, "I mean the usual living habits."

The woman snorted uninterestedly, and thought about it carefully for a moment, "If you say that, there is indeed one..."

"Does it count if she buys a live chicken every two days?" The woman said that Jin Hua loves chicken so much that she has to bring a chicken home every two days. For so many years, she has never changed her taste.

Wang Li asked a few other questions, and the woman answered them one by one. Wang Li thanked the woman before returning to the small building.

A long and beautiful whore, no friends or relatives, living alone, every two days to buy a live chicken, plus what they found in the basement, one by one can be matched.

Qu Yanning couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that she is raising that monster? But why is she raising it?"

Wang Li touched his chin and said casually, "Maybe that monster is her relative or friend?"

Although the woman said that she was alone, Jin Hua didn't seem to have a good relationship with them, and she might not know some private things.

After Wang Li arranged for people to guard the scene, the three of them left together. Wang Li said that he still had to make an application, and Jin Hua was probably in the drug rehabilitation center, so he had to go back to the bureau to call someone out for questioning.

Qu Yanning frowned and thought, "That monster lives here, so...will he come back?"

Xie Qi said unhurriedly: "If he doesn't come back here, he has nowhere to go."

"Wang Li has already sent someone to guard. After he calls Jin Hua out and asks, and finds out the relationship between them, maybe he can follow the clues and find the monster."
