The master of metaphysics is a cat slave

"Aren't you guys watching her?"

"The specific circumstances are still unclear, but the people from the investigation bureau said that she may have committed suicide." Mu Liuyun had a slight doubt on his brows, "She drowned in the bathtub late at night."

At the beginning, he only thought that Wang Wu's wife was in an unstable mental state, so he entrusted the investigation bureau to find someone to take special care of her.But hearing that she was recovering well in the nursing home, the Bureau of Investigation was about to give up on the investigation. They didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

"You said it might have been a suicide... because there was no trace of anyone else?"

Mu Liuyun said: "This is the strange thing. Her expression is very calm, and she is curled up in the bathtub with her knees hugged. Even if it is suicide, I think it is very difficult to appear in such a state."

Wei Qiuye interjected with interest: "In a sense, this is a desire for rebirth."

Bai Jian and Mu Liuyun looked at him together.He gently caressed the painting box with his palm, with a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face: "Before birth, a person is soaked in amniotic fluid, which is very similar to her state when she died. Maybe she was hoping to go back to being a fetus. Especially since she died in the middle of the night... I guess the windows were open to let in the moonlight, which is often seen as a symbol of femininity."

Bai Jian asked blankly, "Do you think it's interesting?"

Wei Qiuye admitted generously: "I really think this picture is very beautiful. If it appeared in front of me, I would definitely not be able to resist drawing it. But don't worry, I'm not interested in wading through this muddy water. I just think about it later. , I want to remind you. Of course, this is just my interpretation, and I don’t know what the truth is.”

"Let's go and have a look at the scene." Mu Liuyun picked up the painting box, nodded to Wei Qiuye, and pulled Bai Jian away.

Bai Jian was still thinking about what Wei Qiuye said just now: "Do you believe what Wei Qiuye said?"

"I don't know. All I know is that even if it's right, it's not suicide." Mu Liuyun directly summoned the flying sword, carried the painting case on his back, and opened his arms towards Bai Jian.

Bai Jian had already turned into a cat, and a swoop landed on his chest, tightly hugging his neck.

"It is impossible for her to know the meaning of this movement. Someone must have told her."

But this explanation happened to match her experience very well.She has killed so many children, and has always been troubled by childbirth. Perhaps it is her greatest wish to go back to before birth.

Bai Jian shook her hair: "I think ordinary people can't think of this level at all. Only artists like Wei Qiuye who have a different brain from normal people can find this kind of picture beautiful."

Mu Liuyun saw his expression of fear of avoiding it, couldn't help chuckling, and gently stroked the hair on his neck: "Is there such a big difference between your cats?"

"How can a cat be the same as a cat." Bai Jian shook her beard dissatisfied, "Every cat is different."

He proudly puffed up the hair on his chest: "For example, I am a brave hunting cat."

They are brave and good at fighting, and they are good at hunting, but sometimes they look silly.

Bai Jian looked at him suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." The corners of Mu Liuyun's mouth were still raised a little, and he looked at Bai Jian softly.

He was always serious and rarely smiled, but now it made Bai Jian a little uncomfortable.

It seems a little nice.

The orange cat shook its head: "Then you should smile first."

He lowered his head, covered his ears with his paws, and buried his whole face in Mu Liuyun's chest, pretending to hide from the wind.

The body of Wang Wu's wife is still in the nursing home, soaked in a bathtub of water, a little swollen from soaking in water for a long time.

But her expression was calm, and there were no other wounds on her body, not even the water in the bathtub was splashed much.

"Before she died, was there anything unusual?"

"No, I was very happy to say that I would cook for the children of the neighbors. But we found this in her body."

The colleague spread out his palm to Mu Liuyun, revealing a Gu worm.

"The one that crawled out of her body should have been parasitic for a while."

It's the same kind as Li Shi's, and it already has a very complete human face.

The colleague said heartbrokenly: "I knew it was about Gu worms again, we should get the worms out as soon as we catch her."

"Then she might die at that time." Mu Liuyun asked indifferently, "Do you have any clues about the source of Gu worms?"

"There is still a way to refine Gu in the southwest, but they are not the same as us, so I don't know the specific situation. If you have time, it's best to go there by yourself." The colleague glanced at the majestic orange cat, " It just might be harder.”

Bai Jian asked seriously: "Is there no more detailed information?"

The colleague looked at his sharp fangs and felt guilty: "No."

Everyone in the Bureau of Investigation knows that the old cat is tired from running around recently, and if he is unhappy, it may cause diplomatic conflicts between the two circles.

"There is a lot of food in the southwest." Mu Liuyun suddenly added.

The pointed cat ears stood up all of a sudden, and the orange cat patted him on the shoulder excitedly: "Then let's pack up our things and eat slowly for a few more days."

The investigators of the Bureau of Investigation watched dumbfounded as the ferocious beast that was still baring its teeth just now suddenly turned into a clingy and cute cat, twisting and twisting its body and rubbing against the person's shoulder, like a cat bug parasitic on the person.

The people present couldn't help admiring Mu Liuyun.A big boss is a big boss, and even ferocious beasts can be subdued easily.

Mu Liuyun held down the excited orange cat, and asked his colleagues: "Send me all the existing materials first, and I will go and see for myself."

Bai Jian raised her head happily: "When shall we go?"

"There's something else, I'll leave after I ask clearly." Mu Liuyun coaxed him to calm down, asked a few more questions, and left with the cat in his arms.

The orange cat's eyes are particularly bright: "Actually, I remembered it as soon as you mentioned it. I have been there before, and I haven't eaten there for a long time. I just want to recall it."

Mu Liuyun thought: "You mean the place where Gu worms are produced?"

Bai Jian blinked in bewilderment: "In the whole Southwest, anyway, I've been looking for the more famous food, and I didn't notice if there were any Gu worms."

It seems that Taotie really doesn't care about anything except food.

Mu Liuyun could only give up the possibility of finding clues from him, and instead pinned his hope on the woman in the painting.

It's been a long time since I saw her, but the woman in the painting is much quieter.She stepped down from the painting, stood in a dignified and polite manner, and looked at the two of them gently and quietly: "Long time no see."

Bai Jian felt uncomfortable: "You have changed a lot."

The woman in the painting raised her brows and eyes gently: "Really? I can't quite feel it. In fact, I just fell asleep."

"Do you still remember what happened before?" Mu Liuyun skipped the small talk and went straight to the point, "Who is that person who gave Li Shi Gu worm?"

The woman nodded gracefully, with her right index finger slightly bent, touching her lower lip, as if lost in memory: "It's hard for me to describe that man's appearance to you, I can only tell you that he smells a little strange."

"What is the taste?"

"An indescribable smell...but I should be able to recognize it now. It's the smell of cats."

Bai Jian stared at her with wide eyes: "What is the smell of a cat?"

The woman rolled her eyes and looked at him closely with a smile: "It's the smell on your body."

"What did you say?" Bai Jian was so startled that her tail almost stood up, she immediately denied, "It has nothing to do with me!"

The woman smiled slightly, turned her finger, and pointed to the unfinished beef jerky beside her: "It smells like the snacks cats often eat."

Bai Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "This kind of food is not only eaten by cats, it can be eaten by people."

"Is that so?" The woman covered her mouth in surprise and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was thinking too much."

Bai Jian asked persistently, "Is there nothing else?"

The woman's eyes were sly: "Also...the man has tattoos on his wrist. Most of them are covered by the sleeves, and the part I can see is the snake's head."

"Can you draw what kind of snake head it is?" Mu Liuyun took a pen and paper and pushed it in front of her.

The woman looked a little embarrassed: "I'm not good at drawing, and it's been a while, I can't remember. The tattoo is black and blue. As for the snake head... it should be a very common look, with no special features."

She sketched a few strokes on the paper and tilted her head to look at the two, as if waiting for their next question.

Mu Liuyun folded the paper and thanked her politely.

"Then can I leave now? There is still further interrogation." The woman looked at them with a smile, "I need to go to the place where there are young lives."

Bai Jian couldn't help asking: "You chose to absorb the energy of young women in order to maintain your youth?"

The woman's eyes were a little seductive, and she finally had the soft and charming look before: "Yes. Of course, young and beautiful men may also be fine."

"Then why do you keep part of the demon soul in Wang Wu's wife?" Bai stared at her intently, "I don't think she is within your hunting range."

There was a strange look on the woman's face, but she quickly covered it up with a smile: "Probably because I want to change my taste occasionally."

She asked casually, "How is she doing now?"

"She's dead." Mu Liuyun's voice was calm, like a death knell ringing in her ears.

The woman's face turned pale, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "That's it. That's a pity. I just saw her crying and wanted to help her. I didn't expect her to be so unbelievable. What a waste of that strand of demon soul. "

"She was killed by the person who sold Gu worms." Mu Liuyun said lightly, "Do you understand what I said?"

If you still have compassion for her, don't hold back, tell everything.

"I've said everything I know." The woman looked down at the ground, "Unfortunately, I can't help you any more."

Mu Liuyun nodded thoughtfully and let her go.

The woman left with her picture scroll, her figure was graceful and graceful, but she felt like she was on the verge of falling.

"I always feel that she is too different from before." Bai Jian sighed.

"The mood of the painter is different, and she is naturally different."

Bai Jian glanced at him: "You mean, it was Wei Qiuye who changed, not her?"

"Do you think she looks a bit like a person? Not only her, but also those discarded waste manuscripts."

Bai Jian narrowed her eyes and thought for a while: "It seems a little..."

His eyes widened in disbelief: "Like Xia Anhe?"
