She was looking around along the campus path when suddenly, a black stray cat quietly approached her feet, tilted its head back, and meowed softly: "Sister, are you looking for our king?"

Seeing Xia Zhining nod, the little black cat proudly swung its tail: "Follow me! It's hosting a meow gathering~"

Xia Zhining followed the little black cat curiously into a secluded grove of trees. The next second, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide—

There were more than a dozen stray cats of various colors sitting neatly in a circle, and the raccoon king was squatting on a rock, waving his paws with a serious look on his face, as if he was hosting a meeting.

Seeing Xia Zhining, it just nodded reservedly: "You came at the right time. We were just talking about the victim."

A ginger cat quickly reported: "We often see the victim with another girl around the campus. The girl always asks her questions~"

Another three-faced cat added softly, "We couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but the victim was speaking very seriously, and the girl kept nodding!"

Xia Zhining immediately showed the portrait to the cats: "Is this the girl?"

Several cats immediately came closer, took one look, and clapped their paws with certainty:

[It’s her! Absolutely!]

[This girl was not from this school, but she often came to ask questions to the victim.]

[She would treat the victim to a meal. The victim called her Xiaoqin.]

[The victim told Xiaoqin not to spend money, saying it was not easy for her to earn money working part-time.]

Xia Zhining pressed her, "Part-time job? Do you know where she works part-time?"

The stray cats all tilted their heads, trying hard to recall.

[She said she worked at a supermarket and would often bring snacks to the victims.]

[Yeah, yeah! I always see her carrying a supermarket bag with a picture of a little fish and some human writing on it.]

[But... Meow Meow can't read...]

Upon hearing this, the raccoon king raised the tip of his tail gracefully and issued an order: "Don't you guys search through the trash cans every day? Now go through them and see if there are any similar bags!"

Several kittens' eyes lit up immediately and they all started to flatter him:

[My Lord, you are so smart!]

[As expected of our boss!]

King Li Xi didn't buy it, and raised his paw to gently kick the butt of a fat silver tabby cat next to him:

[Stop flattering me and find me a job!]

The silver tabby cat meowed, twisted its round body in a wronged but obedient manner, and took the lead to rush to the trash can. The other kittens also followed with laughter.

Soon, a few stray cats brought a crumpled plastic bag from the trash can and placed it in front of Xia Zhining like a treasure.

She looked down and saw the four big words "䀲心超市" clearly printed on the bag, with a cute little fish pattern next to it!

"Great!" Xia Zhining's eyes lit up, "We're one step closer to the murderer!"

Just then, a little cat came running over breathlessly, calling out hurriedly: "Sister! The thief who stole the takeaway food is here again!"

The other cats immediately went wild, surrounding Xia Zhining and pleading:

[Sister, sister, take us to catch the thief!]

[The students at school often feed us delicious food and help us get rid of worms. We want to repay them!]

Xia Zhining couldn't help but laugh as she was surrounded by this group of enthusiastic furries. She immediately called her brother, "Brother, I want to ask, this girl who's suspected of being the murderer is called Xiaoqin. She works part-time at the Xinxin Supermarket."

"Hurry up and check if she's there now!"

Ji Shuyun immediately responded: "Okay, I'll come right away."

He added anxiously, "Do you need support from your side?"

Xia Zhining glanced behind her.

A group of stray cats were staring at her with wide eyes, their eyes as bright as little light bulbs.

She chuckled and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I don't think that's necessary. I have helpers behind me!"
