Not too many out of four

The scorched cat has also received a lot of attention from Li Jia recently.

Including but not limited to comprehensive physical examination in the hospital, hair maintenance and care, and daily psychological counseling stickers and cute sweet words.

The orange kitten who has experienced the fire is no longer an ordinary cat. It needs more love and care to comfort the frightened young mind in the fire.

However, when she saw that the cats at home were united and friendly, and when they approached to lick the orange kittens, Li Jia would let them go and let them get closer together.

The Zhongye cats are all brothers in the same litter. Ke Lijia has hardly seen them lick their brothers. Maybe it’s because they left their mother cats when they were very young. They even licked themselves for a long time. Only then, let alone licking the fur of the brother cat.

Finally, Li Jia taught "Mr. Chuya" in Okinawa to lick other cats, but the cats at home did not appreciate it and even avoided it with vigilance and disgust. They only accept licking themselves as the love of their brothers The licking of fur will also be avoided.

It's a pity that Professor Li Jia taught "Mr. Chuya" the hair licking to enhance feelings, and finally became "Mr. Chuya" who would come to lick her hair every night before going to bed to coax her to sleep.

She could only laugh or cry and accept "Mr. Chuya"'s special way of coaxing her to sleep.

The little orange cat is the most enthusiastic cat in the family to take care of "Zhongye". Just like its name is "Brother Zhongye", it takes extra care of the two children who escaped from death in the family.

Like accompanying Li Jia to go to and from school, taking the initiative to expose the soft fur on her abdomen for touching, and sniffing Li Jia every day when she comes home to check if there are any new wounds on Li Jia's body, and being secretly bullied by bad tempered boys at school.

When it came to the orange cat, he generously let his own cat food supplement his nutrition, and tried to lick and comfort his scorched, hardened and curly hair from time to time. The orange cat also changed from being vigilant and dodging at the beginning to letting it go.

"Brother Zhongye and brother Zhongye have become much better recently," Li Jia happily touched the cat's head, and smiled with eyebrows crooked: "Brother Zhongye doesn't need to give up his cat food, you eat just the right amount every time suitable."

Eating too much or too little in one meal is not a good thing for cats, and "Zhongye" cat food has additional nutrients added, so there is no need to eat extra "Zhongye brother" cat food.

"Meow?" The little orange cat tilted its head and called out in doubt.

"Sister won't lie to you," Li Jia coaxed softly, "You have to eat obediently to grow up healthy."

Eight or nine-month-old cats are still in the growth period, and they should be able to grow a little bigger. The cats in Zhongye are always not as big as the five- to six-month-old cats outside, which really makes her a little worried.

Not to mention big-sized cats, even among normal-sized cats, cats tend to be petite and sensitive. Outsiders who don’t know it may think that Lijia’s cats are all small female cats.

"Could it be that one of Zhongye Cat's parents is a Munchkin cat?" Li Jia murmured in confusion.

The cats who are working hard to eat cat food don't know what the Munchkin cat is in Lijia's mouth, so naturally they don't react in any way.

The cats have been raised for almost a year, and it is useless to think about this issue now.

No matter whether Zhongye cats are naturally small cats or not, her love and concern for cats will not change.

It doesn't matter if it's not a big cat, but the current size of Zhongye cats feels heavy and heavy when squeezed in her arms. If it's a big cat like a Maine Coon or Ragdoll, it's estimated that one of them can overwhelm her get down.

Li Jia shook her head and stood up on her knees.

The little orange cat immediately raised its head and asked, "Meow?"

She laughed and bent down and tapped its forehead: "My sister is going to the studio to draw, can you follow me?"

There will be an important oil painting competition in the near future. The supervisor teacher of the art club has urged them several times to start preparing the paintings for the competition as soon as possible. Now Li Jia is the only one left in the club who has not started to paint.

Not long after she was discharged from the hospital, her progress was far behind the others in the club. She hadn't even decided on the theme and content of the participating paintings. The supervisor had already contacted her by phone for a few days, asking her to decide on the theme and submit it as soon as possible.

Li Jia's talent in painting is obvious to all the teachers in the club, and they don't want her to miss this great opportunity. If she can win the first place in the competition, it will be a good choice if she wants to study abroad or enter a school with high deviation in the future. Great resume.

Since she was promoted to the third year, Sakura Chiyo, the senior in the art club, went to high school. Li Jia no longer has any suitable friends in the club, and the time to participate in club activities is getting less and less. The teachers in the club are very worried that she will waste it. own talent.

However, Li Jia actually has her own ideas in her heart. She spends less time participating in club activities, but it does not mean that she also spends less time on painting.

It's just that I changed from painting in an art club to painting quietly and alone at home.

……

The studio room is an empty room vacated by Shinichi Kudo after tidying up the utility room. When the blackout curtains are opened, the whole room will become bright and open. Many paintings are hung in the room.

Li Jia’s usual small part-time job is to make money by painting. Although the paintings sold are not as valuable as those of big painters, they are more or less a channel for making extra money. In addition to the pocket money that the Kudou and his wife usually give, the savings are not small. A sum of private money.

The biggest consumption of Lijia's private money is to buy cats' toys, snacks and some gifts for family and friends.

It’s just that I rarely spend money on myself. The clothes include casual clothes brought from Aichi Prefecture and beautiful skirts bought by Kudo Yukiko. Her body shape has not changed much in the past few years, and her height has hardly increased. No need to buy new clothes.

I don't know why the Kudou couple and Kudo Shinichi are not considered short in height. Her mother is Kudo Yukiko and her younger sister is not too short, but she always develops very slowly when she reaches Lijia.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that she was a premature baby and lived in an incubator for a long time in a weak body since birth. Her mother would not have picked her up from the hospital if she hadn't been able to afford it financially.

She has been much shorter than children of the same age since she was a child, and her physical development is also a step behind. The breasts of girls of the same age began to develop early. She also slowly began to grow in the second grade of junior high school. She has what a normal 14-year-old girl should have look.

If it wasn't for Yukiko Kudo who has been devoting herself to fattening her up, and even came back to live in Mihua Town for half a year for her, her body is probably not bad, as long as she doesn't get sick, she can live a normal life. Once she gets injured, it takes more time for ordinary people Restoration.

The brush fell on the canvas with the paint, bit by bit smearing out what she had planned in her mind for a long time.

The theme of this competition is very vague, and the scope is so wide that the participating painters will not exceed the scope of their paintings. However, the vague theme also makes it difficult for the works to find out the hobbies of the judges in the competition and catch their eyes to stand out.

Li Jia came up with the idea of ​​painting this painting when she received a photo of Akashi Seijuro, but at that time the theme of the competition had not yet been decided, and she was not sure whether the theme of the painting would be contrary to the theme of the competition.

Fortunately, the theme of this competition is very broad and vague, which gave her this opportunity.

If the teacher of the art club knew about it, she might persuade her to draw something that is safer and easier to get, but Li Jia still wanted to come according to her own heart.

The top [-] paintings in this competition can be displayed in the gallery of the sponsor for the public to watch. She thought it would be good if it was just one time, so that the mother's portrait could be displayed in a famous gallery and her mother's name would be left behind. as the title of the painting.

Li Jia didn't know if she would open her own gallery in the future, so she wanted to seize this only chance.

Her mother is not a failed woman who is pointed at by people around her. She is very, very gentle and beautiful, and worthy of anyone's love.

Four cat heads popped out of the window outside the painting room. Zhongye cats and cats quietly watched Li Jia's painting through the glass. Different colors of paint fell on the canvas, making it difficult to see what Li Jia finally wanted to paint.

There are very few colors that cats can observe. Except for the blue-green color, the rest of the colors are just black, white and gray with different shades in the eyes of cats. It happens that cats have no special talent in viewing paintings, which can make them break through This kind of color shows what Li Jia really wants to paint.

The little orange cat tilted its head and whispered, "Meow, woof."

It licked the scraps of meat around its mouth, and sniffed near the glass with its cat's whiskers, but it didn't smell anything special.

The smell of the paint is insulated by the glass, and they can only see part of the canvas blocked by Li Jia when they stay in the glass window outside the studio and peek in. The brush strokes are gentle and delicate, and even the eyebrows and eyes are softened.

She created this painting with emotion, with the complicated feelings for her mother buried in her heart for many years.

"...Meow." The orange cat dumpling turned around and jumped off the window frame first. If you stay outside the window, you can't see anything, and it may even interfere with Li Jia's painting.

It is enough to know that she has not left the house and is indeed painting quietly.

There are no thieves who can break into the Kudou house without alarming the Chuya cats near Mihua Town. Although they are only four small cats, the fighting power of the four Chuya cats can be said to be more stringent than the security of Suzuki Sonoko's house.

If anyone wants to sneak in, no matter if it's someone from the Black Organization or a certain thief who wants to check the news and take pictures, they won't get any benefit.

……

Kaitou Kidd reappeared in front of the world after disappearing for many years.

A phantom thief who specializes in targeting precious big gems. There are rumors that he has been looking for a special big gemstone to commit crimes. As the target of the second investigation for many years, the KID in Phantom Thief Kid was originally written as 1412 , but was accidentally misidentified as KID by a certain celebrity, and then Kaitou Kid was always used as the synonym for this thief.

Before committing a crime, Kaito Kidd will issue a notice letter in the form of a code, informing the time and place of his appearance, announcing his appearance to the police and the owner of the gem.

Kaitou Kidd is not afraid that the police will crack his password, and even shows up on time every time according to the predicted time.

It can be seen from the inscription of the notice letter he issued that Kaito Kidd himself should like such a nickname, so he will continue to use it in the notice letter.

"Tch, what Kaitou Kidd," Edogawa Conan said with his hands behind his head, depressed, "Isn't he just a thief?"

It sounds so good, but you are still doing what the criminals did.

Even if the Kaitou Kidd returns the gem every time, it is only because the gem he took away was not the one he really wanted, and his actions and intentions are crimes in themselves.

"Is Conan-kun not interested in Phantom Thief Kidd?" Li Jia was a little surprised, she thought that the young boy who likes to follow Uncle Maori around the crime scene would be very interested in Phantom Thief Kidd.

Edogawa Conan fell on the sofa with his head in his arms, and turned his face to the inside of the sofa: "It's just a jewel thief. The police will catch his tail and find it sooner or later."

Now technology is also different from before, and it is not easy for Kaito Kidd to steal gems as smartly as he did many years ago.

Li Jia hummed softly, blinked: "Is that so?"

But she heard that the Kaitou Kidd is very good at disguise, and can easily disguise himself as a crowd of onlookers and escape. It is also because of this that the police have repeatedly failed to catch him.

"Isn't it? In the past few years since Kidd disappeared, the outside world has almost assumed that he is dead, the stolen jewelry has been properly returned, and the police have not pursued Kidd who may be dead."

Conan Edogawa lazily said: "If you run out to issue a warning letter to commit a crime now, the security you have to face is not just the power of the past."

As a criminal, he was restless, and instead swaggered across the street to announce to everyone that he was going to steal the jewels.

It is naturally impossible for the people in the Metropolitan Police Department to allow the Kaitou Kidd to be so arrogant, and the perpetrator of the case that has been suspended for many years reappears. Presumably, the people who searched the second section will be more vigilant against the big jewel that Kidd is eyeing.

In a few years, the gene bank and fingerprint bank will be established. Presumably, as long as they follow the traces left at the scene, these criminals will be more likely to be arrested by the police.

"But... Kidd is not the only thief who will send out notice letters." Li Jia rested her chin and said slowly, "There are still people who have done this in the past few years since Kaitou Kidd disappeared." They have never been searched. The people from the second class caught it.

Edogawa Conan sat up in disbelief: "Is there more than one such arrogant guy?"

Are all thieves this arrogant now?Do you feel that you can't keep up with the trend of the times without sending a notice letter to show your presence?

Li Jia hugged the little orange cat who leaned over to look at the newspaper with its head tilted, and nodded innocently: "Well, it's a thieves gang called Maoyan, but unlike Kidd, they seem to be nimble women."

The little orange cat shook its beard, pressed Li Jia's hand in front of him, and stretched its neck to look at Kidd's notice letter published in the newspaper and another cat's eye notice letter that was similar in size.

One is an unintelligible Kidd notice letter, and the other is a Maoyan notice letter that bluntly tells the police when they are going to do something.

what is this?Are two famous thieves both on the scene at the same time, with the same target?

Edogawa Conan snatched the newspaper quickly, his eyes quickly scanned the news, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It turns out that both Maoyan and Kidd are eyeing Princess Diana's crown at the same time. This is really exciting."

The purple sapphire inlaid in the crown of Princess Diana, with deep and beautiful eyes like a siren, will turn into a transparent rose color when exposed to high temperature. It was known as the most beautiful gemstone in the world at that time, but unfortunately it disappeared in in the eyes of the world.

This time, it was the eve of the exhibition that Princess Diana's crown was announced to be recovered and reappeared in front of the world.

Unexpectedly, Maoyan and Kaitou Kidd would be eyeing this "big gem" at the same time.

"The police officer who searched the second section will probably have a very headache." Li Jia lowered her head and gently pressed the little orange cat's head, sighing sympathetically.

Whether it is the police officer in charge of the cat's eye or the police officer in charge of Kaitou Kidd, they will work together to make a careful plan to protect the gems and capture several thieves.

"Meow, woof?" The little orange cat pulled its paw from Li Jia's arms, and patted Kidd's notice on the newspaper.

The little furry head rubbed against Li Jia's jaw and turned around, the touch was smooth and comfortable.

"By the way, Kidd's notice letter code has not been cracked yet! If the gem is stolen by Maoyan first, wouldn't his notice come to nothing?" After the little orange cat reminded her, Li Jia remembered this question.

Edogawa Conan glanced at her helplessly: "Have you already started to imagine that the gems will be stolen?"

Embarrassed, Li Jia secretly buried her face in the back of the little orange cat, only showing a pair of eyes.

She was just thinking about it secretly, and she didn't really want to curse the officers for failing.
