parasitic son

Chapter 48 Investigation

Mr. Cat had a dream.

It stood in a gray hall.The surroundings were quiet, and he could vaguely discern the fine carvings on the beautiful and slender pillars.Outside the window was the ancient sky, and the fleets passed through the clouds with blue-silver light.

A group of people stood solemnly behind him.The faint fragrance diffused in the room, just like the group of people behind him.

"My lord..." a person said.

He turned around.

Mr. Cat opened his eyes, he rarely dreamed.Even if it is a dream, it is often some memory fragments.This is the first time it has dreamed of the past since it came to this planet.

At that time, he still had a Homo sapiens body.The body that belonged entirely to him.

It jumped off the ledge, and Little Truth waited for it.They made an appointment today to investigate the two murders together.

Today is Saturday, and Xiaozhen didn't wear a school uniform, but casually wore a T-shirt with the Star Wars logo on it.The boy's face is very upright and handsome, with a pair of clear pupils under his eyebrows, and a straight nose bridge, it is enough to make many aunts and sisters hold their hearts and call him cute.For a group of human teenagers, his looks are outstanding.Even without considering the appearance factor, Yan Zhen's body is also very good.Although the companion claimed to have accidentally entered Yan Zhen's body, Mr. Mao was still skeptical.If it hadn't been for an accidental meeting on this planet, Mr. Cat was very sure that he would kill Xiaozhen the first second he met it.

"What's the situation now?" Xiao Zhen asked it.

"Two native humans died."

"What did the alien do?"

"This is exactly the purpose of our investigation." Mr. Cat replied.

Xiaozhen said: "Is this you working for Boss Han again?"

"No, this is the work of the Overseer's Eye."

"Can you stop bragging."

"I'm not joking, this is indeed working for the supervisor's eye."

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Zhen said, "For me, you can stop pretending."

"I'm telling the truth." Mr. Mao said calmly, "You can choose to believe it or not. I'll say it again, this is the job of the supervisory eye."

"Are you going to tell me that you are really the eyeliner of the supervisor's eye?"

"Yes."

"..." Xiao Zhen resisted: "The Eye of Supervision cannot hire Mind Eater."

Its companions clearly lacked understanding of the Overseer's Eye.But this is normal, [-]% of the citizens of the galaxy will be terrified when they hear the Overseer's Eye, and they don't know much about this institution except ahhh the Overseer's Eye is scary.In fact, the Eye of the Overseer is divided into several factions and the struggle is fierce. Its swearing faction never minds using the power of heresy in the eyes of others to achieve its goals.

The main body of Mr. Cat is the Mind Eater, and it does serve in the Eye of Supervision, and its position is not low.If this fact is made public, it will probably collapse the faith of countless citizens and even cause riots.

"I'm working for the Eye of Supervision. I'm sorry for hiding it from you earlier." Mr. Cat said, it didn't intend to tell Xiaozhen the whole truth, after all, its situation is very special. "The Eye of the Overseer has tentacles all over the galaxy, don't look like an idiot in surprise when your companions tell you that it is also working for the Eye of the Overseer."

"...but that's the eye of supervision..." Xiaozhen was still struggling with his common sense over the years, and finally he asked tentatively: "You are just a part-time job, and your colleagues don't know that you are a mind eater, right?"

"Of course." Mr. Cat didn't lie on this point. At present, the identity certificate he just obtained is an inspector from Aert. people.

"Okay." Xiaozhen seemed to accept it, and then he asked again: "Will you report and arrest me?"

If I wanted to do it, I would have already killed your body when I first saw you.

"By the way, there's that vortex!" Xiaozhen said, "Does the supervisor's eye know?"

"I don't think there's a need to report it at the moment."

"I have a premonition that you will capsize one day." Xiaozhen's expression was stiff, "You should be glad that Captain Madara is not here now, otherwise he would be scared into a coma by your confession."

***************

They came to the rental house where the second victim was found.This is a low-cost rental house in a low-rise building in Jiandong District that has been in disrepair for a long time.The sides of the dark staircase were covered with dirty oil.As they went upstairs, a man blocked their way.

"Who are you looking for?" The man stared at Xiaozhen suspiciously.

(Tell me who you are.) Mr. Cat poked his head out from behind Xiaozhen, and unceremoniously injected instructions into his brain.

"I'm the landlord of rooms 202 and [-] on the second floor." The man's eyes became dull, but he answered clearly.

Mr. Cat gave the second order. (Take us to Wu Xiumei's room)

"Okay, okay, follow me please."

Mr. Cat noticed Xiaozhen's eyes.His eyes were filled with "how can you" and "too unscrupulous".This is normal. Mr. Cat knows that Xiaozhen has also used mind control skills, but the times are very small and he tries to keep it in the dark.Even if this planet is a remote place far from the law of the galaxy, there are still many concerns for their kind.After all, the Heart Eater is the object of hatred of everyone, once suspected, the troubles will be endless.

But now that its license is in hand, of course it can be used openly and without scruples, and it is so fearless when it is backed by the eyes of supervision.

Wu Xiumei is the second victim.

Her rental house is very small, only 7 square meters.Mr. Cat thought her room was as messy as this short building, but the hut behind the door was clean and fresh.Although a bed and necessary furniture took up [-]% of the room, the hut was tidy.There is a layer of plastic floor film on the ground, and no oil stains can be seen.The small kitchen chopping board was also spotlessly wiped.The shiny bowls and chopsticks are neatly stacked together.

On the left side of the crib, a small bookshelf was built with boards, and several cookbooks, weaving tutorials, and romance novels were arranged on it.There are green radishes in the water cup on the windowsill.

This is a girl who loves life.

"Her rent has not been paid, and she has not been able to find anyone these days." The landlord said blankly that his memory had been modified.

Mr. Cat recalled the information given to it by the clerk.Wu Xiumei is 24 years old this year, a salesperson of a chain clothing store, and has been working in this city for three years.Behind the door is a well-designed key hook and storage bag, and there are small homemade ornaments hanging in the room, showing the girl's desire to take care of this little nest everywhere.

"Does anyone usually come to see her?"

The landlord shook his head. "I live downstairs. Except for food delivery and couriers, I rarely see anyone coming to my door."

Xiaozhen, who was checking the cupboard, turned around, and he spread his hands.

On the palm of Xiaozhen's hand is a thin reddish-brown hair.

Wu Xiumei has black hair.

After testing, it was the hair of the Nan Sai people, just like the investigation results that the clerk told Mr. Cat earlier.

Nansai star is a remote planet located in the wide area star area.The locals reject the galactic civilization and insist on living their traditional tribal life.Mr. Mao has heard that one of the hunting rituals of the Nansai people is to hollow out all the internal organs of the prey.

"Then this girl seems to have died from the hunting tradition of the Nansai people." Xiao Zhen said, "How many strange aliens are there here?"

Definitely more than you think.Mr. Mao said: "According to the records of the Eye of Supervision, there is currently only one Nansai person in this city."

Seems like an obvious result.

A dead-headed Nansai came to this quiet and extraterrestrial place for two hunting ceremonies to carry out his tradition, and challenged the authority of the Overseer's Eye without knowing why.

Xiaozhen asked Mr. Cat: "Do you know the Nansai people?"

"I know people from Nansai." Mr. Cat has been to Nansai.The Nansai people are not really backward barbarians. On the contrary, their technology is highly developed, and the huge urban buildings are located underground, extending around like ant nests.Although advanced in technology, Nan Sai people pay more attention to individual battles.For them, displaying personal martial arts is a ritual that immerses their souls.

The philosophy, music, painting, and even language in their culture are almost all about fighting.Fighting runs through their lives.There are all kinds of complicated competition rules in the local area, which are used to solve all aspects of life, work and even military affairs.

It can be said that fighting is their culture, and hunting rituals are just a small part of their culture.

Xiaozhen said: "I've seen Nansai people. This group of people is really hard to describe. I used to stare at the dessert in a Nansai man's hand for ten seconds. It was really only ten seconds before he proposed to fight me. Before the duel I have to sit and listen to him give two hours of dueling rules and classic examples. If I refuse to listen, it will become my honor to deliberately humiliate him. He will shout something to paint my internal organs on his face slogan, and then hunted me down for ten years."

"Sounds like something real you've been through."

"Nonsense! And the Nansai people still have some psychic abilities. They can even read the remaining consciousness of the place where you stay, and then try to find you. They will never give up until you hammer you to admit that they are the most elegant and powerful fighting race." .”

"...They do have an excessive sense of honor." Mr. Mao clicked on the floating screen, "Look, this is a Nansai person who has been registered in this city. However, the identity registration is a slave."

"slave?"

Relevant information is displayed on the screen.This Nansai was brought here about a year ago by a Khazar lady from the Wide Sector.The Khazars are the most common species of Homo sapiens in the current Galactic civilization.In terms of appearance, whether it is Nan Sai or Khazar, there is almost no difference from humans on this planet.

"According to the registration information, the Nansay people were brought here as the private property of this Khazar lady."

"Sounds like the Namsai screwed themselves over some stupid dueling rules."

"The files show that this Nan Sai 'Sin' is a gladiator for sport, a big star in the bloody arena for which the galaxy is famous. This Khazar lady sold most of her family property to buy him, and then Take him all the way to here."

"Sounds like a romantic story about a female fan who spends a lot of money to buy her beloved star and take him to live in seclusion."

"Now they've broken up."

"..."

Their story is not a fairy tale at all.

Mr. Cat took Xiaozhen to meet the Kaza lady.Her current identity is an accountant of an import trading company, named Li Qiai.

Li Qi'ai doesn't seem surprised by the visit of Mr. Mao and Xiaozhen.

She lives in a two-bedroom apartment.The color palette of the room is overflowing with excessive pink.Li Qi'ai was sitting on a pink sofa, wearing a small light red suit, and her lips were pink-orange.She was a human-looking 20-something, plain-looking and tired-looking.Mr. Cat knows that this does not judge her real age, and the vast majority of Galactic Homo sapiens citizens undergo surgery to prolong their lives after a certain age.For rich people, it is common to have a face of 20 years old and a real age of more than 300 years old.

Li Qi'ai was not surprised that the investigator of the Eye of Surveillance was a cat.

"The first time I saw Xin, I liked him very much." After learning about Mr. Cat's intentions, Li Qi'ai went straight to the point without any nonsense, "I still remember that life-and-death duel, when everyone thought he couldn't win. At the moment when the Gnus was about to decapitate him, his turn and side attack was really beautiful. This is the top three comeback in the history of the Bloody Arena." Li Qiai's face was tired The color was swept away, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.

"After that, as long as it is his game, I will go to the arena to watch him. He is a real star in the arena. Respected investigator, you have not seen that scene. Everyone shouted and cheered wildly for his every move. .Even today, the sound of that moment still rings in my ears. Sing! Sing! Sing! The cheers are still roaring in my blood."

"So you bought him for a lot of money. Tell me about how you got here after you bought him."

"I sold almost all my properties to buy Xin, just to be with him. I just want to have him alone. He has so many fans, I don't want anyone to disturb our life. So after many inquiries, I Chose here as my home and his - a remote planet, protected by the Code of Independent Civilization. No one will bother us anymore... I thought so..."

"You broke up with him?"

"Yes, Xin left me. He can't bear a peaceful life." Li Qi'ai's eyes dimmed, "He is from Nan Sai, he is a born hunter, and his soul is forged by battle. He is thirsty for blood. You haven't seen him, he was born to be a weapon. His muscles, his nails, his teeth, were made for fighting. He told me he longed to hunt, as he did back home. I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen to me. After an argument, he left me, forever."

"That's unfortunate." Mr. Cat asked. "Do you know where he went?"

"I...don't know. I haven't heard from Xin for half a year." Li Qi'ai raised her eyes sadly, "Your Excellency Investigator, did you come to find me, could it be that something happened to him?"

"We suspect that he is involved in two cases of missing persons."

"Oh... that's really unfortunate. Maybe I shouldn't have brought him here in the first place." Li Qi'ai's voice became softer, "And I lost Xin, and my money was in vain. Here I work like the local humans to earn money to support myself."

This is probably the legendary star chasing after nothing.

Mr. Cat and Xiaozhen leave Li Qiai's apartment.

Xiaozhen suddenly said: "The house of the victim Wu Xiumei is very strange."

"Oh?"

"I know that the Eye of Supervisor will deal with the aftermath in order to cover up the traces. Have your colleagues cleaned the room?"

"They will only cover up the traces, they will not destroy the scene, and they will not do unnecessary cleaning."

"Her house seems to be prepared, it's cleaned too clean." Xiaozhen rubbed his chin and said, "A normal home must have a little bit of life, let alone she lives alone. Judging from the time when she was killed, It's 9 o'clock in the evening, and this night should be the most relaxing time at home."

"What do you want to say?"

"Someone cleaned her room after she was killed. If the Nansai people cleaned the scene and eliminated the evidence, it would be impossible for them to leave their own hair." Xiaozhen said, "Who would it be?"
