Cat glanced at him but didn't look for anyone else. This Fifth Zhen spoke with a smile, but his aura naturally exuded a meticulous military temperament.

The questioning took place in the study.

The villa features a minimalist design style, with clean white as the main color. This study is a bit special, with a lot of wood piled up in the corner, cut into various shapes, some of which look like they've been used and others look like they're not.

The bookshelves weren't filled with books, but rather with wood carvings and models—some of small animals, some of skyscrapers, and others of houses and bridges, etc.

The cat's gaze swept around and then fixed on the bookshelf. She loosened Lu Yi's rope and ran over to look at the little trinkets.

Some models are only the size of a fingertip, while others are much larger. However, regardless of their size, they are all exquisitely crafted and displayed like an art gallery.

Cat couldn't help but wonder if all of these were made by Ah Jin.

"Miss Jiu, please have a seat," said Fifth Zhen.

The cat returned to its seat.

The villa is surrounded by stunning views of the sky and water. This study is the most enclosed room, so even though the two are facing each other, there seems to be no atmosphere of investigation at all.

The cat sat up straight and said, "What do you want to ask? Begin."

Fifth Zhen was still brewing tea.

He did say he would invite the cat over for tea.

Hearing this, he glanced at the cat and said, "Miss Jiu, you're very cooperative. I hope you can maintain this attitude."

The cat nodded solemnly.

After a while, Wu Zhen placed the tea he had poured in front of the cat and then asked, "Miss Jiu, what did you do when you suddenly left the film crew around 10 p.m. last night?"

The cat said, "Someone hurt Lu Yi, I'm going to find the bad guy."

Fifth Zhen looked at the bandages wrapped around Lu Yi's body and asked, "Why did you go alone? The other party might be a criminal. He could hurt Lu Yi, and he could hurt you too. This isn't the kind of reaction a normal person should have, is it?"

The cat said, "I'm not a normal person, I know martial arts."

Fifth Zhen smiled. "So, have you found the person?"

The cat said regretfully, "I couldn't find it."

Fifth Zhen then asked, "Did you meet anyone else?"

The cat shook its head: "No."

Fifth Zhen took a sip of tea, glancing at the cat with a scrutinizing look. He then asked, "Since you couldn't find anyone, why didn't you go back to the film set? You disappeared for four hours. Where did you go during that time?"

The cat hesitated for a moment and said, "I got lost. There was no cell phone signal, so it took me a long time to get back."

Fifth Zhen chuckled: "So, how did you finally find your way back?"

Cat looked at Fifth Zhen gratefully: "Thanks to you all, your searchlights were so bright, I found my way by following the light."

Fifth Zhen gently stroked the cup and said, "Miss Jiu, you are truly extraordinary. Getting lost in the jungle in the middle of the night, you were able to calmly save yourself, with a clear mind and complete memory. It seems you even slept well last night."

The cat chuckled, "Hehe, yeah, you even know that."

Fifth Zhen asked, "Then let me ask you, when you were lost yesterday, did you encounter Paul and his men? And another group of people?"

The cat shook its head. "No."

Fifth Zhen pulled out some photos from behind her back; they were very realistic. "These are the people you haven't seen before?"

The cat shook its head. "Never seen it before."

Fifth Zhen sighed, "Then do you know how they died?"

Cat picked up a few photos, looked at them carefully, and then said very professionally, "The person in black died from a gunshot wound, probably in a chaotic fight where he was caught off guard. The person in the logistics uniform died from a knife or sword wound, the wound was clean and the location was precise, a single sword to the throat. These should be from the same person, and he should be an experienced killer."

The cat mentally gave itself a thumbs up; it had been a long time since it had done anything by itself, but it seemed its skills were still sharp.

"Clap clap clap—"

After listening, Fifth Zhendu clapped his hands. "So, this experienced assassin is you?"

The cat looked at him seriously. "Major Mako, it wasn't me."

Fifth Zhen heated some water and brewed a pot of tea.

He poured tea for himself and his cat with complete ease, then gazed contentedly out the window.

A long time passed, and he didn't ask another question.

Lu Yi lay on the ground, looking at Wu Zhen and then at the cat, seemingly not understanding what was going on.

The cat finally took the initiative to ask, "Major Mako, are you done with your questioning? Can I leave now?"

Fifth True said, "If you can't pronounce it, then just call me by my surname."

The cat said, "Mako is easier to remember."

Fifth Zhen looked at her, feeling a sense of wonder. He had been away from the capital for many years and had never expected to encounter such a unique person.

Fifth Zhen finally asked, "Did Jin Er collude with you to give his testimony?"

The cat shook its head. "No."

Fifth Zhen looked out the window again. "Alright, I've asked all the questions. Go find whoever you want."

Cat looked at him with a hint of surprise. That was it? She hadn't even used the words Ah Jin had taught her yet; she hadn't even had a chance to "reveal the sandalwood zither"...

"What, don't want to leave? Do you have anything to add?" Fifth Zhen asked, turning to her when she didn't move.

The cat shook its head. "No, then I'm leaving."

As the cat walked, it called out to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi looked back at Wu Zhen, but between his old owner and the cat, he actually chose the cat!

The white door closed, and Fifth Zhen chuckled, "Even Lu Yi has betrayed us! That's quite something."

He picked up the photos on the table and slowly looked at a few.

In fact, he had already finished interrogating Tan Zheng. Tan Zheng spoke in a very organized manner, recounting the whole story of how he dealt with these people.

However, Fifth Zhen didn't believe it at all.

He only asked Jiu Maomao a few questions, without verifying any details. However, he knew very well that he wouldn't get any information out of her anyway.

These people have conspired together.

He knew perfectly well how capable Tan Zheng was; he could probably handle these people more than enough. However, given that these people died at almost the same time, Tan Zheng absolutely couldn't do it.

There wasn't enough time, and there wasn't enough effort either.

Of all the things Jiu Maomao just said, he only agrees on one thing: the person who did this must be an experienced assassin.

Of course, it's not a sandalwood zither.

So, Jiu Maomao... who else could it be but you?

...

"Lu Yi, don't run around."

The cat said that it was still injured and wanted it to get better quickly, otherwise it would be too embarrassed to see Ah Jin.

However, just as she thought that, she saw Ah Jin!

Right outside the villa in front of her, Mu Jin walked out of the swimming pool, brushed her wet hair, her limbs were long and slender, her figure was fit and beautiful, and her fair skin was dazzling in the sunlight!
