Lu Qing thought she was seeing things because she was still half asleep, so she quickly rubbed her eyes.

After confirming that there really was a body lying there, she jumped off the balcony onto the air conditioner unit.

The man was already dead, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, as if he had been frightened before he died.

Lu Qing hurriedly ran to call the dormitory supervisor.

The dormitory supervisor was half asleep when she was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

"Auntie, something terrible has happened! Someone has died outside!"

Upon hearing this, the aunt hurriedly opened the door:

"What did you say? Someone's dead?"

Lu Qing nodded repeatedly: "Yes! There was a man who died on the road outside!"

Where?

"Right here!"

Lu Qing led the dormitory supervisor back to the original spot, but the body had vanished, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

"Strange! Where's the body?"

Lu Qing looked around but didn't see it.

The dormitory supervisor frowned and said:

"Hey kid, you must be having a nightmare!"

"No! Auntie, I saw it very clearly just now, there really was a dead person, look there's still blood here!"

Lu Qing pointed to a pool of blood on the ground and said.

The dormitory supervisor walked over and took a closer look:

"This must be pig's blood! The cafeteria delivered several pigs that had just been slaughtered yesterday, and the truck must have accidentally spilled some here!"

Lu Qing smeared a little blood, smelled it, and confirmed:

"No! This is human blood!"

Even the dormitory supervisor was startled: "Then...then I'll go call the police!"

The police arrived quickly.

After testing, it was confirmed that it was indeed human blood, and there were even fragments of internal organs in the blood.

"Your name is Lu Qing, right?"

A policeman came over and asked questions as usual.

Lu Qing nodded: "Yes."

"You are an eyewitness, can you tell me what happened at the time?"

Lu Qing frowned slightly:

"Officer, I don't think you can handle this."

"Can't control it?" The policeman couldn't help but chuckle.

"We are police officers. If a murder occurs, and we can't handle it, who can?"

“What I mean is, the perpetrator shouldn’t be a human,” Lu Qing said.

"Not a person? Then what is it?" the police officer asked, puzzled.

Lu Qing glanced at the green belt beside him, frowned, and picked up a tuft of cat hair from a tree branch:

"It's very likely a cat demon!"

The cat's fur smelled of a demon, and she had also heard a cat meowing last night. In addition, she saw that the wound on the victim's abdomen was caused by claws, which made her even more certain that it was the work of a cat demon.

The police who arrived were ordinary officers, completely incapable of dealing with the cat demon.

But the police officer in front of him clearly didn't believe it:

"Little sister, please be serious. A murder has occurred, and you are the only witness. Your testimony could be the key to solving the case!"

Lu Qing sighed helplessly, wishing she had just called her brother directly.

Lu Qing recounted what she had seen the previous night, and only then did the police officer let her return to her dormitory.

As soon as she got back and retrieved her phone, she called Wang Yanjun.

Due to a murder at the school, today's military training has been canceled, and all students are prohibited from leaving the school to cooperate with the investigation.

After a while, Wang Yanjun arrived and officially took over the case, giving Lu Qing a voice.

"Brother, it must be a cat demon causing trouble!"

Wang Yanjun frowned: "A cat demon? You saw it with your own eyes?"

Lu Qing shook his head: "I only heard a cat meowing, but the cat hair left at the scene did have a demonic smell."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yanjun said:

"Regardless of whether it's the work of a cat demon, we need to find the body first!"

“I took this case with a guarantee from my superiors. I snatched it from someone else. If I can’t even find the victim, I’m doomed.”

Lu Qing scratched his head, looking quite troubled:

“I find it strange too. I’m sure that person was dead, lying right here. But when I went back to find my aunt, he was gone when I came back.”

There were no traces of blood nearby; it was as if the person had vanished into thin air.

"You've seen the deceased, can you draw his appearance?" Wang Yanjun asked.

Lu Qing suddenly slapped his forehead: "That's right! I'll go draw it right now!"

Lu Qing hurriedly ran to find paper and pen, and quickly drew a portrait of the suspect.

"It's finished!"

Wang Yanjun exclaimed in surprise, "So fast! Your drawing skills are amazing..."

The words of praise were swallowed back before they could be uttered.

Wang Yanjun stared at the abstract painting with a blank expression: "Are you sure that person looks like that?"

Lu Qing looked at his painting and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"My hands and my brain don't seem to be working together properly. Should I redraw it?"

At this moment, Gu Xicheng walked over:

"What do you need me to draw? Maybe I can do it for you!"

Wang Yanjun looked delighted:

"How could I forget you, Lao Gu? You've been learning sketching since elementary school."

“Lu Qing, tell your man what the victim looks like and have him draw it.”

Upon hearing the words "your man," Lu Qing's face flushed slightly.

Gu Xicheng nudged his older brother with his elbow:

"She's young, so don't say anything careless in front of her!"

Wang Yanjun grimaced and clutched his chest:

"Brother, be gentle, I'm still injured!"

Wang Yanjun was supposed to be discharged from the hospital a few days later, but he probably wouldn't have come out if Lu Qing hadn't called.

Seeing that his face was a little pale, Lu Qing quickly took out a pill from his pocket:

"Here you go, these are pills made by my master. They're very effective at healing injuries and should help you recover faster."

Thanks!

Wang Yanjun immediately put the pill into his mouth.

Lu Qing found some paper and pen and handed them to Gu Xicheng.

Based on her description, Gu Xicheng quickly drew a picture of the victim.

Wang Yanjun had someone take the portrait to ask around, and soon learned the victim's identity from the dormitory supervisor.

Li Dahai, a worker serving meals at window number five in the canteen.

Seeing the dormitory supervisor's disgusted expression when she mentioned him, Lu Qing asked:

"Auntie, are you very familiar with this Li Dahai?"

The aunt scoffed, "I'm not familiar with him at all. Who would dare to be familiar with someone like that!"

"What kind of person is this?" Wang Yanjun asked.

"Li Dahai is not a human being at all; he's a beast, a devil!"

The aunt made no attempt to hide the disgust in her tone when she said this.

"Let me tell you, this Li Dahai is a pervert. He likes to abuse cats and even films it!"

“Our school used to have a lot of stray cats, but since Li Dahai came, he has killed them all. Some students have even complained about him for this!”

"He almost got fired, and then he became much more well-behaved, but many upperclassmen who knew about it stopped getting food from his window."

Cat abuser! Cat demon murderer!

That seems to make sense!

But if it was just the cat demon seeking revenge, why did the corpse disappear?

"Lu Qing, I've retrieved this person's identity information. Can you figure out where the body is?" Wang Yanjun asked.

Lu Qing nodded: "It should be possible to calculate it."

"Okay, I'll have someone retrieve Li Dahai's file right away."

After learning the birth date and time, Lu Qing cast a divination to calculate the result.

But when Lu Qing saw the divination result, his pupils shrank in surprise.
