Strange Life of a Cat

The man did not go through the main door, but went out through a side door, which led to the old street.

At this time, there were more and more people on the road. Some people setting up stalls were busy occupying seats. Students from Chuhua University, who only had two classes in the afternoon, also came out for a walk and some snacks. .

Zheng Tan didn't follow too closely. There were a lot of people there, and many people didn't even pay attention to their feet when walking. If he got closer, his limbs and tail would probably be trampled off. Moreover, Zheng Tan could see over there from the edge of the sidewalk. In such a situation, there is no need to take risks and find fault.

As he was following, Zheng Tan saw that the man's pace had become faster.

There is a stall next to it. The stalls are full of jewelry and trinkets. Girls like them very much. There are also many people around the stall. After the man passed by, Zheng Tan noticed that he had a women's mobile phone in his hand. After getting the phone, the man turned off the phone skillfully, opened the back cover of the phone, took out the card and threw it into the trash can next to it, and then Put your phone in your pocket.

That technique... is only used by people who have experienced hundreds of battles. It was so quick and natural that the student didn't feel lost at all, and the people around him didn't notice anything strange here. If Zheng Tan Didn’t I see that man steal the phone with my own eyes!

After stealing the phone, the man originally had a frown on his face, but now his brows are relaxed and he is smiling. It seems that what just happened made him happy and dispelled his original depression.

Zheng Tan didn't know whether this person liked to use this method to vent his depressed emotions, or whether he did such things as stealing mobile phones because he had another professional relationship. In any case, this was obviously not a good thing. Good people are worse than Zhuo Mao Mao said.

Yes, even stealing things from children, stealing mobile phones is nothing.

Zheng Tan looked back and saw that there were some people surrounding the stall selling accessories. It was not clear whether the person who lost the phone was there. It was estimated that the unlucky owner had not even noticed that he had lost his phone yet.

The person in front had already gone a little far, Zheng Tan quickly followed him, there was nothing he could do now.

Zheng Tan was familiar with the road the people in front of him took. He walked along the old street from here. After walking a short distance, he turned a corner and reached an old community.

To say that this community is old does not mean it has a long history. It was built in the 1990s and has six or seven-story buildings, with five or six households on each floor. Just looking at the community from the outside will make people feel that this community is a bit old. The city is developing too fast, and the architectural style is old-fashioned. In addition, there are newly built commercial streets and high-rise buildings not far from here. It is more obvious when standing at the fork in the road. Behind these old community buildings, there are towering modern buildings. Like a giant looking down at everything, this place looks even more old. Sometimes it can also give people a feeling of time and space intersecting.

Most of the people living in this old community are old men and women, and there are also some young people working nearby.

Zheng Tan watched the man enter the community and quickly climbed in through a closed side door. After searching for a while, he continued to follow the man after seeing him. He also visited several neighborhoods when he visited the old street. This was one of them. It was neither familiar nor unfamiliar.

In Zheng Tan's memory, the buildings here are easy to climb.

When you walk in, you can hear the sound of mahjong coming from many rooms on the first floor. Old men and women gather together to play mahjong every day when they have nothing to do. Therefore, most of the first floor is a teahouse-type entertainment venue.

A little mixed-haired Pekingese barked several times in this direction after seeing Zheng Tan. A gray-white puppy sleeping on the roadside not far away moved its ears, glanced this way, and then lay down lazily again. Next, I have no interest in Zheng Tan at all. There are many puppies and many cats in this community. When those cats ripple around, they really come one after another.

Precisely because cats are so common, no matter whether they are humans or animals, seeing Zheng Tan is not surprising at all, and many of them don't even bother to give him a look.

The man in front seemed to be familiar with the sound of dogs barking in the community. After hearing it, he didn't look back at all and continued walking forward, answering the phone as he walked.

Zheng Tan heard him complaining about today's bad luck to the person on the other end of the phone. His tone was very disgusting with the children in the kindergarten, and he even cursed a few viciously. This made Zheng Tan extremely unhappy. After all, this person was scolding Zhuo Mao Mao. People's hearts are inherently biased, and Zheng Tan was biased and righteous, not to mention that this person had problems with his character.

Those little bastards can make a big fuss if they are not beaten for one day. Damn it, they deserve a beating! The man in front was still complaining. However, after walking into the corridor of a building, his emotions calmed down a lot. Inside the building He was very quiet. If he started to curse when he opened his mouth, he would not expect the people around him to give him a good look.

Zheng Tan followed him in.

There is an iron door at the entrance of the stairs, but it seems that it has not been closed for a long time. It is probably that the people who live here find it too troublesome to close, so the iron door at the entrance is useless.

The man lived on the third floor. Zheng Tan watched the man take out his key and open the door. Before closing the door, Zheng Tan listened to the man talking about where to go on Friday night.

Zheng Tan didn't stay here for long. After finding out where this person lived, Zheng Tan went downstairs and walked around the residential building before leaving.

For the next two days, Zheng Tan would go to the kindergarten every day, but he didn't see the man. There were only a few female teachers leading the class. They watched the children wearing paper rooster hats singing Big Rooster with the teacher. Oh oh oh. Zheng Tan turned around and left. He couldn't appreciate these children's songs. He always felt that if he stayed here for too long, he would be assimilated by these little brats and become childish.

On Friday night, Zheng Tan went out to the residential community after dinner. Since the man said he was going out somewhere on Friday night, he probably wasn't at home, so Zheng Tan decided to go to his house to cause some trouble. Offending a cat can have serious consequences.

When I came downstairs to the residential building, there were few people walking around at night. Many elderly people went to bed early and didn't have the energy to play mahjong at night, so they stayed at home and watched TV. They basically went to bed around nine o'clock.

There are no street lights around, only the lights coming from some residents' homes. It's not very dark, but there are many dead spots and it's not difficult to spot anything you do in the shadows.

Zheng Tan looked around, found a spot, and climbed up along the corner of the wall. The two families directly below the man's house installed a shelter outside. One is to protect the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from rain, and the other is to prevent the residents above from dripping water when they dry their clothes. Many residents will install them outside the window sill. Such a shelter also gave Zheng Tan convenience.

Zheng Tan will also use these shelters when he climbs up. If someone passes by, Zheng Tan will hide on the shelter. Although it is not very bright here, people who are close may also find Zheng Tan. This It wasn't late at night either, so there were still many young people out and about.

When climbing past the second floor, Zheng Tan heard someone approaching and quickly climbed up.

I'll go! What a big gecko! Hehe...it's still black and has cat ears! A voice came from below.

Zheng Tan: ...

Obviously, that person found Zheng Tan, and at the same time, fortunately, that person was not very sober.

...Nonsense, I'm not drunk! I'm sober... ugh -

Zheng Tan hid on the shelter on the second floor and listened to the sound of vomiting below. Fortunately, this man was drunk, otherwise there would probably be some trouble, but it was not a big trouble. After all, Zheng Tan was just a cat, and a cat crawled The wall... is not considered a supernatural event.

The drunkard below held on to the wall and vomited, then staggered away, and his phone fell into the pile of vomit. The drunkard didn't even realize that he had dropped his phone.

No one passed by here anymore, so Zheng Tan quickly climbed up and climbed through the window with iron bars on the third floor. Fortunately, the iron bars there were not densely packed, and the distance between the two iron bars was just enough for Zheng Tan to squeeze through. Go in.

Perhaps because of the iron window bars, although there was no one inside, the windows on the third floor were not locked, so it was probably unlikely that anyone would get in through here.

Zheng Tan looked around. It seemed that many people were out for a walk at this time. People in the residential building opposite would not pay attention here. Even if they looked this way, they would not notice Zheng Tan. There was no light on the window sill. , it was very dark, and it was impossible to see Zheng Tan in the dark with human eyesight.

After opening the window, Zheng Tan looked inside.

Judging from the smell, that man lives in this room. The room is not as messy as Zheng Tan imagined. It has a familiar smell. It was left by the kindergarten teacher Xiaobai. The two are lovers, but Xiaobai The teacher doesn't live here. He probably came this afternoon and cleaned up the room for that person.

There were too many obstructions, so Zheng Tan decided to take a look at the room from a height before deciding where to start causing trouble.

Jumping from the bookcase to the wooden wardrobe next to it, Zheng Tan was about to look down when he found a key on the wardrobe. This key looks like it has been used frequently. There is no rust, there is no dust on the key, and there is a layer of dust around the key. The person who cleaned it did not pay attention to the wardrobe, so it is obvious from this comparison.

The smell remaining on the key proved that the man had used the key not long ago, but Teacher Xiaobai had never touched the key.

A frequently used key is placed on the high wardrobe. Why?

There's obviously something wrong.

Zheng Tan looked at the other furnishings in the room, jumped down and tried the locked drawers and cabinets. The others could be opened directly. Only two were locked, one was the small cabinet under the bookcase and the other was the bedside table. .

After looking at the keyholes, they were all the same. Zheng Tan simply took off the keys and tried them all, and the one on the bookcase opened.

Inside this cabinet were all mobile phones, including the stolen pink mobile phone that Zheng Tan had seen two days ago.

Look at the six mobile phones placed here. There are two women's mobile phones, three men's mobile phones, and one is more neutral and can be used by both men and women. These six mobile phones are old and new, and the prices are also very different. One mobile phone can be regarded as a thief ignores mobile phone these days, and two mobile phones look more high-end. They should be able to sell for two to three thousand these days. bucks.

Those mobile phones should have been stolen by that person.

In addition to these mobile phones in the cabinet, there is also a box containing mobile phone cards.

In the Chuhua University cycle, there are many street vendors and retail agents selling mobile phone cards without requiring buyers to show their ID cards. The same should be true here.

If these mobile phones disappear, will the man be so angry when he comes back?

Zheng Tan looked at the six mobile phones in the cabinet and suddenly remembered that he hadn't sent a text message on his mobile phone for a long time.
