Chapter 41 The Black Cat Providing Clues
Lin Ting took out a few cat strips from his pocket, opened them and fed them to the kittens.
The cat food strips she was carrying were originally intended to be fed to the stray cats that often live in the community, but she unexpectedly fed them to other kittens in advance.
The black cat lowered its head and glanced at the kitten who was eating seriously.
"The old lady likes to pick up trash. Every morning she goes out to pick up things left by humans nearby and sells them to buy meat for us. Every afternoon we come to look for her. I've been there three times and haven't seen her yet."
As soon as Black Cat finished speaking, Si Chen and Wu Dachuan walked out of the corridor, both of their faces visibly gloomy.
Lin Ting untied the last cat strip and squeezed it over to Black Cat, "Officer Si, Officer Wu, what's going on inside?"
"Hu Tao smelled right. An old man died in the house. It looked like he had been dead for a few days. The forensic doctor has been notified." Si Chen did not hide much from Lin Ting.
"According to the information provided by the cat, the old man hasn't come out for three days." Lin Ting told the news truthfully.
Si Chen and Wu Dachuan then noticed that there were several cats standing behind Lin Ting. "Miss Lin, what's going on with these cats? You didn't ask them to gather information, did you?"
"Not really. They are stray cats that the elderly people in this house often feed."
Wu Dachuan couldn't help but tease, "Miss Lin, you are really a lucky star for our police station. You can even find clues like this."
Si Chen patted Wu Dachuan on the shoulder and reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense. Go and investigate the old man's basic information while you have so much free time."
"Tian Tian has already checked and sent me the old man's basic information. According to the information registered by their community, this house was a resettlement house given to the old man after the house was demolished. He has always lived there alone, but he has a son who doesn't come back often."
"As for the old man's other interpersonal relationships, I'll ask Taozi to check it out." Wu Dachuan said as he called his colleague.
Lin Ting had no say in the case information. She sat on the curb next to the green belt, picked up a little cow and held it in her arms, occasionally touching the kitten's smooth fur with her fingers.
Although these kittens are dirty, their fur is very smooth, which shows that they are fed very well by the old man.
"Have you been fed by the old lady for a long time? Do you come here every afternoon?" Lin Tingtong asked the black cat for information.
It can be seen that among these cats, the black cat has a much higher status than other cats and should be the boss among these cats.
The black cat rubbed Lin Ting's legs and lay down at her feet.
"It's been a long time since I last heard from other cats that there's an old lady here who feeds kittens, so I came here. The old lady is very kind. In addition to buying meat specifically for the cats, she also packs up other people's leftovers from nearby restaurants for me to eat."
"Every afternoon, the cats would come and wait for the old lady. When she saw us, she would give us delicious food."
"But there was a very bad guy who would come to see the old lady every now and then, and he would often quarrel with her. Before leaving, he would kick the cats. Once, a little orange cat was kicked by the bad guy and broke two ribs. It lay in bed for a long time and then died."
'Later, that very bad guy came over, and the cats hid from him and didn't let him see them.'
"What?"
Seeing Lin Ting's shocked expression, Si Chen asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Officer Si, do you have a photo of the deceased's son?" Lin Ting did not answer Si Chen's question.
"Tian Tian just sent it." Si Chen didn't ask any more questions. He directly found the photo of the deceased's son on his mobile phone and handed it to Lin Ting.
Lin Ting took it and handed it to the black cat at his feet, "Look and see if it's this man."
'That's the bad guy.'
When the black cat saw the man, the fur on its body exploded instantly, even its tail exploded in a circle.
"The bad guy also raised a bad dog. He brought the bad dog to my place before. The bad dog bullied the cats whenever he saw them. If the cats hadn't been able to climb trees, they would have been bitten by the bad dog."
"Bad dogs are just as bad as bad people. They always follow bad people and bully the cats and pet dogs in the neighborhood."
After Black Cat confirmed it, Lin Ting returned the phone to Si Chen. "Black Cat said that the old lady's son would come over every now and then. Every time he came, he would quarrel with the old lady and would also dislike her feeding the stray animals nearby."
"If the old lady doesn't have any enemies, then her son is a big suspect." Lin Ting expressed his opinion.
Si Chen nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'll have someone check the address of the old lady's son now."
Lin Ting continued to ask the black cat squatting at his feet, "Did you hear what the old lady said when she was arguing with that bad guy?"
Without waiting for the black cat to answer, the white cat eating cat food nearby answered directly.
"Meow heard it."
"The bad guy asked the old lady for money, saying that she had money to feed the cats but no money to give him."
"The old lady pointed at his nose and said to the bad guy, 'Stop hitting square things.' We don't have money to compensate him."
"The bad guy was really fierce at the time, and he almost picked up a bench and hit the old lady. Miao was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound or come out."
"Meow was helping the old lady catch mice. I saw through the crack in the door that after the bad guys left, the old lady cried for a long time."
"The square thing must be mahjong. The old lady's son uses mahjong to gamble, and when he loses, he comes to the old lady to ask for money." Lin Ting summarized what the little white cat said and told Si Chen.
"Before the old lady stopped feeding you, did you see this bad guy come to see the old lady, or did he have an argument with the old lady?" Lin Ting asked with a frown.
Their intuition told them that the old man's accident was related to his beastly son.
The kittens looked at each other.
"No, Meow went out to catch birds. When it was almost dark, I came to the old lady's house. I waited for a long time, but the old lady didn't come out, and I didn't see the old lady's light on."
"Meow, I didn't see any either. The bad guys come at irregular times. I run away as soon as I see them."
"Besides your neighborhood, there are no other stray cats that the old lady feeds." There are quite a few stray cats in this community, and especially when someone feeds them, the animals will also pass messages to each other.
'have. '
"They don't come to eat often, but they come every day to take a look around. If they don't meet the old lady to feed them, they will leave and are unwilling to wait any longer."
"Then can you help me find those stray cats? Don't worry, I'll pay you. I can prepare cat food and canned cat food for you." Lin Ting rubbed the black cat's ears.
Meow
"Please wait a moment."
The black cat quickly disappeared into the green belt.
"Then I'll ask someone to prepare some cat food and canned cat food for you." Si Chen quickly sent a message to Tian Tian.
