Chapter 42 Cat Cheat
Since they asked the stray cats to help, they couldn't let them down.
Lin Ting did not refuse Si Chen's kindness.
Trace detection and forensic doctors arrived at the scene to carry out their work.
At the same time, the black cat came over with a few stray cats.
Stray cats are different from domestic cats. When they see humans, they will show natural defensiveness in their eyes.
"Do humans really feed delicious food?"
Just by listening to the inner voice, Lin Ting knew that the black cat was using food to lure these stray cats over.
"Feed them here, but the cat food hasn't been delivered yet. I have one cat noodle left, you guys can eat it first." Lin Ting took out the last cat noodle from his pocket, opened it and put it on the ground.
"Before you deliver the cat food, can I ask you a question?" Lin Ting leaned forward, leaned on his knees, and was at eye level with the stray cat.
"Maitai Black Cat really didn't lie to us. This human not only feeds us, but also understands our speech."
Lin Ting didn't waste any time and asked directly, "You should know the old lady who often picks up scraps to feed stray cats."
"Meow, I know that the old lady is very kind and often feeds me delicious food. However, she has a bad son who often bullies her."
"Before the old lady stopped feeding you, have you ever seen the old lady's bad son come here?" Lin Ting squeezed out the cat strips little by little, and several stray cats lined up to eat.
A cat with one ear missing fell behind the cat and its inner voice was heard faintly.
"Meow knows."
Lin Ting didn't expect that there really was a cat that knew that.
"Grandma, have you ever quarreled with your bad son since he came here?" She picked up the cat with the broken ear and placed it on her knees. While asking the question, she also checked the kitten's ears.
The ear was probably bitten off by other cats when stray cats were fighting for food. It seemed that a long time had passed and the wound had almost healed.
The little cat lay in Lin Ting's arms, letting Lin Ting fiddle with its ears.
"Yes, it's super loud."
"Meow didn't get any food, so I wanted to come over to the old lady to ask for something to eat. But when I got there, I saw the bad guy, so I didn't dare to go forward. Before I could leave, I heard the bad guy arguing with the old lady, and they smashed a lot of things."
"Bad guys often come with their dogs to bully meow. I'm afraid of being discovered, so I don't dare to approach and hide in the grass."
"Did you hear what they were arguing about?" Lin Ting rubbed the kitten's chin.
The little cat rolled its eyes, as if it was thinking.
'Money, pension money.'
'After the quarreling stopped in the room, the bad guys left.'
"The bad guy was holding something square in his hand. I tried to run, but he saw me, kicked me, and called me a beast."
"If a meow could beat the bad guys, it would definitely tickle them to death."
"Meow sat at the old lady's door for a long time, but she didn't come out, so I stopped waiting."
"Are you injured anywhere after being kicked?" Lin Ting turned the kitten over and over to check its body.
Many times, some internal injuries cannot be seen.
'No, meow runs fast.'
There was a hint of pride in the little cat's heart.
Judging from the resounding voice, it seems that nothing serious is wrong.
Lin Ting looked at Si Chen again, "The old man's son had a quarrel with him over his pension money, and he probably stole the money when he left."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Lin." Si Chen wanted to pat Lin Ting's shoulder, but his outstretched hand stopped halfway and fell back.
"Team Captain Si found out," Wu Dachuan trotted back. "Community staff said the old lady has a son who's usually idle and likes gambling. When he loses, he comes to the old lady for money. Neighbors often hear the mother and son arguing."
"We already know all this. Tell me something useful." Si Chen interrupted Wu Dachuan to continue his report.
However, Wu Dachuan's words completely proved that what these little animals said was true.
Wu Dachuan's eyes, as big as bells, scanned Lin Ting and Si Chen, "How did you know that?"
Lin Ting smiled and said, "There is a cheat."
"Even the little animals know these things. Miss Lin, what you are doing is no different from cheating in an exam." Wu Dachuan was completely shocked.
"That's true. If you cheat on the exam, your score will be cancelled." Lin Ting joked.
"Have you found the address of the old lady's son?"
"I found out. It's in the neighborhood next door. However, the old lady's son didn't buy the house, he rented it. I heard from the neighbors that the old lady's son wanted the house, but the old lady refused to give it to him. She was afraid that if she gave the house to her son, he would lose it in gambling and end up without even a place to stay." Wu Dachuan put away his joking expression and became serious immediately.
That matches the information provided by the cats.
Together with the old lady's son, he was the last person she saw after she completely disappeared.
Regardless of whether the murderer is the old lady's son or not, it is reasonable to find this person.
"Then let's go over and take a look." Si Chen finished speaking, his gaze falling on Lin Ting again, "It's getting late. It's not safe for a girl like Miss Lin to be out alone. Wait for Tian Tian to come over and let Tian Tian take you home."
"There's no rush to go home. I think I should accompany you. The old lady's son has a dog. Maybe I can help you get some clues." Lin Ting took away the kitten in her arms, as well as the kitten that was still rubbing against her.
Wu Dachuan immediately agreed, "Captain Si, since Miss Lin can help us, let Miss Lin go with us. We are all here anyway and can protect Miss Lin's safety."
Si Chen hesitated for a moment and agreed to Lin Ting's proposal.
Lin Ting squatted down and looked at the group of kittens growing on the green belt in front of her. She rubbed one of the little heads and said, "Sister has something to do. You stay here and a beautiful sister will bring you food soon. If you have any problems, you can go find the humans in uniform inside. They will help you solve the problem."
"Be good and wait for me to come back."
The black cat raised its paw and placed it on Lin Ting's trouser leg. When Lin Ting moved, the tip of the black cat's paw just happened to hook into her clothes, and the black cat was unconsciously dragged forward a step.
After Lin Ting discovered this, he hurriedly stopped, freed the black cat's claws from his clothes, and casually held the cat in his arms, "What's wrong?"
"Meow, I know where the bad guys live. I can take my sister there."
"How did you know?" Lin Ting was a little surprised. These cats were afraid of the old lady's son, and they actually knew where her son lived.
"I've seen it before while rummaging through a trash can in the neighborhood next door. I know this area well."
Without waiting for Lin Ting to respond, the black cat walked forward with its tail erect. After a few steps, it saw that Lin Ting had not caught up, and could not help but look back.
'Humans follow.'
