Solstice Secrets

Xiao Mao drooped his head, as if he had lowered his head and confessed his guilt, and he didn't dare to peek at Ling Dongzhi.It still remembered the troublesome words Ling Dongzhi said, looking at the current situation, it really caused Ling Dongzhi a lot of trouble.

The faces of the two police officers could not help laughing, and one of them was carrying an evidence bag, which contained a watch and the checked handkerchief of the Midwinter Solstice, "I have checked the serial number. It is indeed the one that Mr. Zhuang reported missing." block watch."

Zhuang Zhou nodded.

Zuo He took the evidence bag from him and looked it over and over again, "We have to find a way to find the owner of this cat."

Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly, "This cat should be a wild cat."

"Huh?" Zuo He was stunned for a moment, "How does Mr. Zhuang know?"

"I've seen it a few times around the community," Zhuang Zhou stretched out his hand and pinched the little boy's ear, the little boy shook, and honestly didn't struggle.The corners of Zhuang Zhou's lips were raised slightly, probably thinking its fluffy little appearance was amusing, he pinched its little paw and said, "Sometimes it has a few companions around it. People who keep cats in this community will not let their pets Running outside by themselves, and I don't think they're likely to have this kind of wild cat."

"That's it." Zuo He showed a thoughtful expression on his face, "Then who would tie the handkerchief on it?"

"What clues can we find here?" Zhuang Lin saw the evidence bag in his hand, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "This kind of handkerchief is very common, many people use it, and Teacher Ling also has a similar one. "

Ling Dongzhi was startled immediately, thinking that this brat specially jumped out at the critical moment to make trouble.

Several people's eyes were on Ling Dongzhi, Ling Dongzhi laughed dryly, and took out a spare piece from his pocket, "Well, I bought it when the supermarket was on sale, it was very cheap, I bought several pieces for ten yuan. "

Zhuang Zhou glanced over Ling Dongzhi's hand, and a slightly warning look fell on Zhuang Lin's face, "What are you doing here?"

Zhuang Lin shrank back subconsciously.

Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly, as if he was very impatient with the existence of this younger brother, "Captain Zuo and I still have something to say, you can show Teacher Ling around first."

Zhuang Linru was pardoned, dragged Ling Dongzhi and ran away.

Ling Dongzhi originally wanted to set up a conversation with Zuo He, to see if Xiao Yang would be captured by them and destroyed humanely.Unexpectedly, Zhuang Lin's fear of his brother had grown to such an extent that when he heard that he was being told to get out, he immediately pulled him forward with all his strength, so that he didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

Ling Dongzhi absent-mindedly followed Zhuang Lin around the Yujing Garden, and was dragged by him to visit the interior structure of Zhuang Zhou's house.

There are several thick plane trees around the house in Zhuangzhou, and the tall tree crowns almost cover half of the yard.Probably because the owner didn’t have time to take care of it, nothing was planted in the yard, except for the paving of floor tiles where walking and parking were done, the rest of the place was empty, and a few pits were overturned near the railing at some point, probably as a preparation Planted something and then gave up.The weeds grew tall and looked a bit desolate.

The house is very beautiful, with a two-story structure and a pointed attic.The bedrooms are upstairs, and the study, living room and dining room are downstairs.It can be seen that it is a single man's residence. It is simple and neat, without any extra decorations, and it is almost deserted.

Zhuang Lin dug out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Ling Dongzhi, with a look of contempt, "He's not popular here. Let me tell you, this guy is a workaholic, he looks like a robot when he works. "

Ling Dongzhi actually didn't really want to go in, he and Zhuang Zhou just met for the first time, so he didn't have the nerve to wander around other people's houses in a big way.But he really wanted to wait for Zhuang Zhou to come back and ask about the situation of the little sample. Although Zhuang Zhou didn't seem easy to get close to, but now there are only a few insiders, Zhuang Lin can't count on it. Zuo He is a policeman. Ling Dongzhi dared to put his ideas on him, after all, there was only Zhuang Zhou as the candidate.

Ling Dongzhi followed Zhuang Lin and stood on the balcony on the second floor, watching from a distance Zhuang Zhou and Zuo He were standing together and talking, and there were two policemen standing beside him, and Brown Tang was happily running a little further away come and go.Because of the distance, Ling Dongzhi couldn't hear what they were saying, he was a little anxious, and he didn't want to be seen by others, so he had to force himself to turn his attention away from those people, and said out of words: " The terrace of your brother's house..."

He just focused on staring at the people, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenery at all, but now he saw that the terrace was bare, except for two empty flower pots in the corner.He originally wanted to say a few polite words, such as the terrace is beautiful, but he couldn't say it now.

"I can't help it." Zhuang Lin spread his hands old-fashionedly, "This person is very hypocritical, he has no time to clean up, and others will not let him clean up. It's like a wild dog peeing in a circle, and no one is allowed to enter his own territory."

Ling Dongzhi is a little bit embarrassing, comparing his brother with wild dogs, it's really...

"Ah, they're done talking." Zhuang Lin tugged at Ling Dongzhi's shirt sleeve, "Go on, he told me to make tea just now, I forgot."

Because of the backlight, the situation over there is not very clear.However, the few people who were still in the meeting just now did break up, Zuo He took the people away, and Zhuang Zhou was walking towards this side.The tall figure was shrouded in the slanting light, giving off a heavy and silent feeling.

Ling Dongzhi felt that this person seemed to hide a lot of secrets.

When Zhuang Zhou opened the door and came in, the two of them were already drinking tea in the living room.

Tea is naturally good tea, but Zhuang Lin's tea making skills are very average, he only knows how to boil water to make tea.Ling Dongzhi's thoughts were all on the conversation between Zhuang Zhou and Zuo He, and he didn't care to be picky about whether the tea was good or bad.Seeing Zhuang Zhou walking in slowly and taking a seat on the sofa opposite him, Ling Dongzhi couldn't help feeling nervous.Zhuang Zhou looked older than himself, and he was more mature than himself in terms of human relationships, so he was really not sure how to set him up.

Zhuang Lin hastily poured a cup for him and handed it to him flatteringly, "Second Brother, what's going on with this...?"

Zhuang Zhou glanced at him, then looked at Ling Dongzhi who seemed to be very interested in this topic, and lightly pursed the corners of his lips, "The lost property has been found, what else can I do?"

Ling Dongzhi was more anxious than anyone else, what if it's not good?

Zhuang Lin obviously thought the same way, "It's okay? What about the cat?"

Zhuang Zhou glanced at him lazily, "I'm talking about cats. The cat took things away, so what else? Can the police still arrest the cat and send it to jail?"

Ling Dongzhi waited anxiously for him to speak clearly.It's really annoying to be a joke or something.

Ignoring the two pairs of pitiful eyes, Zhuang Zhou took a sip of the hot tea from his teacup, and then put down the cup in his hand with disgust, "If you don't know how to make tea, drink plain water, don't spoil my tea leaves. Come out to entertain guests... You don't have any other skills, but you are very good at embarrassing yourself."

Zhuang Lin, "..."

Ling Dongzhi laughed a few times, and said to himself who came to your house for tea, and I came to inquire about the sentencing of Xiao Mian.Who cares whether your tea is good or not.

"That..." Ling Dongzhi originally wanted to ask if the cat was taken away by Zuo He, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that this question was too straightforward, so he turned a corner temporarily, "How do you know that the cat took the thing away?"

Just as Zhuang Lin was about to speak, he saw Zhuang Zhou glance at him indifferently, and he quickly closed his mouth again.Zhuang Zhou said slowly: "Because there is no one at home, we installed surveillance cameras for safety."

The corner of Ling Dong Zhi's mouth twitched.Small sample is a wild cat that wanders outside all day, it probably really doesn't know what surveillance is.

"It's quite interesting." Zhuang Zhou looked at Ling Dongzhi very intently, and suddenly smiled, "Mr. Ling also likes small animals, I saw you were staring at that cat just now."

I don't know if he was suspicious, but Ling Dongzhi always felt that his eyes seemed to have some deep meaning.Before he could think about what to say, Zhuang Lin interrupted and said, "Yes, Mr. Ling is taking care of those wild cats in our school. I also saw him buy goat milk for the litter of kittens in Houshan. "

The corners of Zhuang Zhou's mouth twitched slightly, "Captain Zuo will take the physical evidence back. As for the cat...he will send someone to watch it."

Ling Dongzhi was suddenly surprised and delighted, "Has it been released yet?"

"It's just a wild cat. What can he do if he takes it home? Can he keep it as a pet? If you let it go, maybe you can follow the clues and find the person who tied the handkerchief to it."

In just a few minutes, Ling Dongzhi's heart went up and down like a roller coaster.Hearing the words "following the vines", I was a little worried that Xiao Mian'er, a silly cat, would get overjoyed after being free, and ran to his own house to announce the good news, but he was eaten by others.Thinking about it this way, he really couldn't sit still.

There was a slight smile in Zhuang Zhou's dark eyes, and he shrank back for a moment, and asked politely like a hospitable host, "Did Zhuang Lin take you upstairs to see it? What do you think?" How is the house here?"

The topic moved away from the cat, Ling Dongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and honestly expressed his opinion, "My brother wants to buy a house for my parents to live in. But this neighborhood is too quiet, and the neighbors are far apart , I’m afraid they won’t get used to it.”

Zhuang Zhou nodded, "People who live here are probably like me. They are very busy with work during the day, so they especially need a quiet environment when they go home."

Ling Dongzhi himself is also a quiet person, so he really likes this place.It's a pity that this price is completely useless with his little savings.

He had already found out what he wanted to inquire about, and Ling Dongzhi didn't have the heart to be a guest any longer, so he had to go home quickly to see if the little sample was back.If not, I have to ask Xiaohui and the others to help pass a message to Xiaomai, let him stop for two days, and go to his house for dinner after no one follows him.
