Lu Qing happened to run into the owner of the black and white cat walking it in the park in the neighborhood, so he went straight over:
"What an adorable black and white cat! Can I pet it?"
The owner of the calico cat was a young and beautiful girl. When she saw Lu Qing approaching, she quickly pulled the cat back and hugged it in her arms.
"I'm sorry, my cat isn't friendly. You'd better stay away from it so you don't get hurt."
"Oh! Then I won't touch it, I'll just look at it!"
Lu Qing looked at the cow cat with a smile.
It had a demonic aura about it, exactly the same as the one that appeared that night.
Therefore, Lu Qing could conclude that this was the cat demon who committed the murder that night.
"Your cat is so cute, so chubby, unlike my cat, which doesn't like to eat."
Hearing Lu Qing's words, the girl's wariness lessened somewhat:
"You keep cats too!"
"Yeah! Mine's a tabby cat, and it's so proud and aloof!"
Lu Qing said that on purpose to lower her guard and make it easier to get information out of her.
Seeing that Lu Qing truly meant no harm, the girl smiled:
"The tabby cat is known as the ceiling of feline combat power, so it's normal for it to be a little arrogant!"
Lu Qing looked at the cow cat and smiled:
"Your black and white cat is the sheriff of the cat world, its fighting power must be quite strong!"
The girl scratched the calico cat's chin and laughed:
"Yes! It loves protecting others. It was the one who found Bubu when it got lost."
At this point, the girl's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Is Bubu your other cat?" Lu Qing asked.
The girl nodded: "Yes! Bubu is a Ragdoll cat that I bought, and Milk is a cat I found."
"What about Bubu?" Lu Qing asked cautiously.
Mentioning Bubu, the girl's nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears:
"Bubu went missing recently, and Milk went out to look for it for a long time but couldn't find it. It's all my fault for not holding the leash properly!"
The girl began to sob softly.
Seeing this, the black and white cat in her arms reached out its paw to wipe away the girl's tears and meowed twice, as if it were comforting her.
"Milk, thank goodness I still have you!"
The girl hugged the cow cat and smiled through her tears.
"I'm sorry! I brought up something that upset you!" Lu Qing apologized.
The girl wiped away her tears and smiled:
"It's okay! I believe that one day Bubu will definitely come back!"
Lu Qing didn't dare tell her that her Bubu was very likely already dead at Li Dahai's hands.
"Miss, you'd better not walk your cat around here. There's a noodle shop nearby, and the owner has a lot of cats. Today, a perverted man named Li Dahai who likes to abuse cats went to her shop and caused trouble, almost kicking her cats to death!"
Upon hearing this, the girl was horrified:
"What! How could he be so cruel to such a cute creature as a kitten!"
Lu Qing: "There are all kinds of people in the world. We can't control others, so we can only take good care of our own cats!"
The girl nodded emphatically:
"Thank you for telling me this. I'll take the milk home right away!"
The girl left immediately, unaware that a hint of human-like hatred suddenly flashed in the eyes of the cow-patterned cat in her arms.
Li Dahai is still alive!
Lu Qing watched the man and cat disappear into the distance, and said in a deep voice:
"Gu Xicheng, do you believe it? This cat demon will definitely kill Li Dahai tonight!"
Gu Xicheng did not answer, but asked:
"You don't want the cat demon to be caught?"
Although he was asking a question, his tone was very confident.
While it is pitiful that Li Dahai's son died tragically from being scratched by a cat, the kittens that died tragically at Li Dahai's hands were innocent.
Everything has a spirit. Although the law of the jungle is the rule of nature, Li Dahai's methods were too cruel.
They skin and dismember cats alive, even putting them in meat grinders, or disemboweling them and breaking their limbs...
It's unfair that he vented his anger on the kittens he killed, even though they weren't the ones who hurt his son!
At that moment, Wang Yanjun called.
After Gu Xicheng answered the call, he heard Wang Yanjun ask:
"So, what have you found out?"
Gu Xicheng looked at Lu Qing, and after a moment replied:
"We didn't find anything. What about your end?"
“Li Dahai’s son, Li Mingzhe, died on the second day of August last year from rabies. Since then, Li Dahai has started to abuse cats.”
"Although his methods were cruel, cats are just animals after all. The police gave him a few words of advice, detained him for a few days, and then released him."
"To be honest, Li Dahai is quite pitiful. His son was killed by a cat. If I were him, I would go crazy too!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but retort angrily:
"The cat that hurt his son is dead. The cats he killed were all innocent. What right did he have to decide their fate?"
Gu Xicheng also said seriously:
“Wang Yanjun, as a police officer, the worst thing you can do is empathize with the perpetrator, especially when he is also a perpetrator of violence.”
Wang Yanjun choked:
"I was just saying it casually, why are you two taking it so seriously!"
Gu Xicheng let out a breath and frowned, saying:
"Brother, keep investigating. We'll let you know if we have any news."
After saying that, Gu Xicheng hung up the phone.
Turning around, she saw Lu Qing was still fuming, so she smiled and comforted her:
"Okay! Don't be angry anymore. That's just how my brother is. He doesn't have that much love for small animals."
"But that doesn't mean you can't distinguish right from wrong!" Lu Qing said angrily.
"If everyone were like Li Dahai, who killed his son with a cat and then tortured and killed all the cats in the world, would the relatives of a person who killed another person also have to kill everyone? Would all the rivers and seas be filled up if someone drowned? Would people be forbidden from building anything after someone fell to their death?"
Gu Xicheng was both amused and exasperated. Seeing that Lu Qing was still angry, he took her to a dessert shop and bought her a lot of desserts, which finally calmed her down.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Qing used Li Mingzhe's birth date and time to perform a divination.
After seeing the result shown in the divination, she roughly understood the situation.
The cat demon will definitely go to Li Dahai tonight, and Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng have been following him ever since they finished dinner.
That evening, Li Dahai returned to his rented apartment.
He has several cats at home, both stray and domestic, all of which he caught and brought back.
Every night, when he thought of his tragically deceased son, he would grab a few cats and torture them to soothe his inner pain.
Tonight will be no exception!
He pulled a thin white cat out of the cage and pointed a knife at its eyes.
The white cat struggled desperately, but its body was too weak to break free.
The white cat's mournful cries made Lu Qingxin, who was hiding in the shadows, clench her fists.
Cat demon, oh cat demon, why haven't you come yet?
Lu Qing stared intently at Li Dahai, and just as she couldn't help but step in to save the white cat, the lights suddenly went out.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the window shattering was heard.
To Lu Qing's surprise, it wasn't the cat demon that arrived, but a vengeful ghost.
"Dad! Don't make another mistake!"
A familiar voice rang in his ears. Li Dahai's eyes widened in disbelief. He turned around and looked at the figure that was faintly visible in the darkness. Tears instantly blurred his vision.
“Ming…Mingzhe…”
Li Dahai walked over step by step, wanting to reach out and touch his son's face.
However, just as he raised his hand, he heard a soft "thud" and the knife he had just used to kill the white cat had somehow pierced his own stomach.
Li Mingzhe revealed a strange smile:
"This time we didn't kill the wrong person!"
