Chapter 154 Witness Cat
"It seems like it was thrown in here a long time ago."
Lin Ting was not surprised to get such an answer. She lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Before she could be unhappy for even two seconds, the little green snake that had been coiled around the nearby water plants floated to the surface.
The little green snake couldn't sleep because of the noise.
I can only come out to join in the fun, not to mention that the human in front of me can even understand the thoughts of the broken fish.
The little green snake stopped in front of Lin Ting. It kept spitting out its red tongue, and its pair of vertical pupils looked extremely dangerous.
Gurgle Gurgle
'It's a snake, run.'
'Wait for the fish.'
The few carps that were originally surrounding Lin Ting began to flee the moment they saw the little green snake, and completely disappeared from Lin Ting's sight within a few seconds.
Lin Ting immediately recognized the water snake in front of him.
The water snake in front of her was as thick as a wrist. Although water snakes were non-venomous, they were commonly found near Eurasian waters and were a species that was impossible to see in their artificial lake.
This artificial lake was used to raise fish before, so it is impossible for the breeders to throw water snakes into it. It is only possible that some people released it into the wild artificially.
In the past, some people would buy aquatic animals specifically to pray for themselves, and release them indiscriminately regardless of whether they were poisonous or could survive, causing damage to the ecological environment. People would also be afraid of these small animals when they saw them.
Before Lin Ting could ask, the little green snake had already taken the initiative to chat with her.
'Ask the snake, the snake knows.'
A flash of shock flashed across Lin Ting's eyes.
I have seen many human and small animals, but this is the first time I have seen a human snake.
Lin Ting handed the remaining beef jerky to the little green snake.
It was the first time for the little green snake to see beef jerky. Out of curiosity, it came forward, swallowed the beef jerky into its mouth, chewed it twice, and couldn't help but complain.
It's really disgusting.
It’s not as delicious as those fish.
Although it didn't taste good, the little green snake didn't spit it out.
No wonder these fish are so afraid of this little green snake. It turns out that this little green snake has become the top of the food chain in this artificial pond.
Lin Ting casually knelt down on the tangled weeds by the shore, his hands wrapped around his knees as he stared intently at the little green snake in front of him. "Can you tell me what you know? I'll give you some fresh meat in exchange for information."
After hearing this, Lin sent a message to Wu Dachuan, asking him to check the news and bring her a piece of pork from the fresh food store in front of the community when he came back.
The little green snake was tired of floating in the water, so it twisted its body and crawled to the shore. Its tail coiled into a circle, but its upper body was upright, trying to keep its eye level with Lin Ting as much as possible.
'That box was thrown in two days ago.'
"As for who threw the snake in, I don't know. The snake remembers it was at night, and when the box fell, it made a huge splash, and it almost destroyed the snake's nest that it had worked so hard to build. If it had destroyed it, the snake would have chased him and bit him to death."
Lin Ting thought about it thoughtfully.
Even if the suitcase is very heavy, it is impossible to create a huge splash when it is thrown down horizontally, unless the suitcase is thrown from a high place.
Lin Ting looked up and noticed that there was a large earthen slope on the other side of the pond, but the slope was still a long distance away from this side.
After all, she was not a graduate of criminal investigation, and she was not sure whether the body and suitcase could float dozens of meters to their current location after being thrown down without any water flow.
Lin Ting turned around and called out to Si Chen, who was checking for clues not far away, "Senior."
As soon as Lin Ting called out, Si Chen immediately strode forward and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong, Tingting?"
"Senior, if the body and the suitcase fell into the pool from the opposite side, can they float over within two days?" Lin Ting's eyes were burning.
Under Lin Ting's expectant gaze, Si Chen shook his head and said, "It's difficult."
"A corpse won't float to the surface immediately after entering the water unless it soaks for a few days. If it were flowing water, it might be washed here, but this artificial pond doesn't meet the conditions of flowing water."
As soon as Si Chen's voice fell, the little green snake's voice sounded again.
"Of course not."
"Those stupid fish pushed it all the way over here because they wanted to eat the food inside. They tried for two days but couldn't get any, and the water inside made it taste bad."
The little green snake's voice was filled with sarcasm.
If the fish had gotten it, then it would all make sense.
At this moment, the man with flower arms came to Lin Ting with a kitten. The kitten was not big, only about two months old, with some fur still on its body. The orange pattern on its body was very layered, and it could be considered a very authentic big orange cat.
"Boss, I asked around, and this little guy knows a little bit."
The tattooed man walked up to Lin Ting with a handsome cat-like gait, and his tail swept across Lin Ting's wrist intentionally or unintentionally, with an expression that looked like he was asking for praise.
Lin Ting was not at all stingy with his praise.
She raised her hand and rubbed the flower-armed boss's head, saying softly, "That's great! Our Hu Hu is the best kitten and sister's best right-hand man."
"Reward you with a cat strip first, and then I'll reward you with two dried fish in the evening." Lin Ting opened the two cat strips, gave one to the big brother with flowery arms, and gave the other to the orange cat brought back by the big brother with flowery arms.
Before coming, the flower-armed boss had already comforted the little orange cat, so when the little orange cat saw Lin Ting and so many humans, it was not afraid at all, and even took the initiative to move closer to Lin Ting.
"What a nice smell."
Lin Ting thought the little orange cat was talking about cat strips and didn't take it too seriously.
After the little orange cat had almost finished eating the cat strips, Lin Ting began to ask, "Have you ever seen someone throw a suitcase into the water?"
'have. '
Lin Ting nodded under Si Chen's burning gaze.
She didn't say anything, but listened quietly to the little orange cat.
Meow fell asleep that night and didn't go hunting with her mother. When she woke up and wanted to find something to eat, she saw a man dragging a heavy box through the woods. She smelled blood and thought it was something delicious, so she followed the Twolegs, hoping to eat it secretly when the Twolegs weren't paying attention. But the Twolegs walked up the slope and tossed the box into the water, leaving her without a single bite. After throwing the box, the Twolegs hurried away, fearing they would be seen.
'I almost kicked over the cat's nest when I left.'
Lin Ting rubbed his chin. "Is the biped you saw a male or a female? Approximately how old is it?"
Lin Ting tried his best to describe it in a way that the kitten could understand.
The kitten glanced at Si Chen.
'Same as him.'
'The two-legged beast that lost things, wearing a hat and dressed like a fisherman.'
The kittens are very familiar with the fishermen nearby.
They would take turns watching the fishermen.
As soon as the fishermen come over, they will swarm over and surround them.
As long as the rod is not empty, the fish you catch will basically be eaten by the nearby kittens.
"They are familiar with this place. Could it be that those fishermen are the ones who would think of dumping the body here?" Lin Ting looked at Si Chen with burning eyes.
