Back to the present, Zhuang Mian still finds it hard to imagine that a cat is actually assigning tasks to himself.
But thinking that this was the instruction from the god's agent, she still listened respectfully and carefully.
The core of planning is procrastination.
Zhuang Mian could vaguely guess what the messenger of God wanted to do.
After that very superficial collaboration at the research institute, she roughly guessed where the members of "Believers" came from.
To put it bluntly, there is only one word - pick up.
He was picked up from the scene of a gunfight, and the orphans in the downtown area were probably picked up in the same way. As for how the researchers and military members picked them up, Zhuang Mian didn't know for the time being.
But it was obvious that the kitten in front of him still seemed to have a bit of a stray temperament. It didn't look like an ordinary house cat. Maybe it came from a garbage dump...
Zhuang Mian shook his head violently, interrupting this impolite reverie.
No matter what, we are companions now, and considering that the other party knows me, but I don’t know the other party’s performance, maybe this cat has a lot of experience.
Damn it, could it be that I am the last one to join the [Believers]?
But thinking of Miss Shi Jin, Zhuang Mian came to a conclusion in his heart:
The boss is going to pick up a companion again...
Zhuang Mian was multitasking with his mind in a mess. On the opposite side, Fulan had also finished telling Lin Qingliu about the arrangements for Zhuang Mian in his plan.
Seeing that Fulan was about to leave, some soft spot in Zhuang Mian's heart was suddenly touched.
"Ms. Fran, please wait a moment."
Her tone suddenly softened, totally unlike that of the purge team leader who was proficient in the art of restoring memories.
Fran's head had already half stuck out of the window, but she shrank back after hearing this:
"What can I do for you?"
Zhuang Mian opened the small cabinet in his dormitory and took out a vacuum-packed package.
This action scared Fran. The last time she saw a similar scene, it was a monitor talking to her.
But obviously, Zhuang Mian did not have any talent for manufacturing. She just took out some high-end food she bought from the inner city.
This is a small bag of processed meat.
In the inner city where every inch of land is valuable, animal husbandry is basically locked in the underground pasture area. After experiencing the devastating blow, humans have lost a lot, including the right to eat meat on a daily basis.
Meat, which was available in most households in the old days, is now exclusive to a few people in the inner city, and for the majority of the rest, it has become a luxury.
Zhuang Mian carefully took out a piece and tried to pass it to Fran.
According to her idea, this cat that still has some stray aura will definitely accept her kindness, so she can establish a good relationship with this colleague in the [Believers] organization.
Compared to getting along with humans, Zhuang Mian actually prefers this kind of relationship.
After all, it's just a cat.
But the development of things is often beyond the expectations of the parties involved.
Fran put her nose close to the piece of meat and sniffed it, then gave a dull look.
That expression seemed to say both "it's just so-so" and "it's a bit too little".
So, under Zhuang Mian's expectant gaze, Fran said:
"You're using this to test the cadres?"
“…”
Zhuang Mian stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to retract his outstretched hand or not.
"Hey, I learned this from Dr. Lin."
Fran's facial features suddenly became lively again.
"Your expression is really interesting. It's really interesting to observe humans."
After saying that, Fulan didn't care how Zhuang Mian's expression changed. She bit the processed meat and swallowed it in two or three bites.
"Thank you, Miss [Butterfly]~"
The cat smacked its lips twice, said goodbye politely, and quickly went out of the window.
Zhuang Mian stood alone in the room, thinking for a long time. He closed the window as if he had finally reconnected after being disconnected, and then lay on the bed and began to ponder.
The next day, Luke woke up early and was about to read the interrogation record of "Master" Shi Jin yesterday.
He seemed a little anxious about this. After confirming that the other party was not one of the [Believers], he didn't want to care about this matter anymore. He was anxious to go back and look for clues about the "Mind Flayer".
However, where the records should have been, Luke did not find the documents he needed to review.
"What's going on?"
He found a member of the Butterfly team and asked.
"The captain said there are still some questions and he needs to review it again."
The team member replied truthfully.
Luke's brow furrowed.
"Didn't you say you had finished asking all the questions yesterday? Why are there still questions?"
The team member couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard that, as if he suddenly thought of something funny.
Luke has given people a relatively gentle impression these past two days, so it's no wonder that this carefree team member would behave like this.
"This morning, the captain took yesterday's interrogation documents to compare with the prison, because... well, many of the people who were visited by Miaoshou before had dirty butts, so a few of them were arrested.
"The two sides compared the confessions and found that some parts did not match."
"What's wrong?"
“…Um, the amount doesn’t match.
"Those people didn't expect Miaoshou to be arrested so quickly. The amount of money they confessed was not as much as what we seized. The captain reported the matter to the higher authorities. Now both sides have to review the case again..."
Luke was confused.
After thinking for a long time, he finally figured out the key.
For a young man in his early twenties who had little exposure to such matters, it was his first time encountering such a situation and he didn't know how to intervene.
"So, where is your Captain Zhuang now?"
"In the interrogation room, I am continuing to check the confessions of each crime with 'Master'."
Luke slapped himself on the forehead.
"Okay, take me to see your captain. I have something to tell her."
Outside the interrogation room, in a single-layer glass cubicle, Zhuang Mian saw Luke with a helpless expression on his face.
She had already guessed what had happened, but still pretended to be surprised and asked why the other party was wearing a mask of pain.
Luke did not hide his thoughts and briefly explained his ideas to Zhuang Mian. Finally, the two reached an agreement:
The "Masterful Hands" case was taken over by the purge team led by Zhuang Mian. Luke and his men withdrew their team and returned to the database to continue investigating the "Mind Flayer" incident.
Zhuang Mian forced himself to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, wondering whether he should find an opportunity to inform El about this.
That reckless young man has been causing a lot of trouble in the outer city recently. Many security teams will find randomly refreshed wanted criminals at the entrance of their units in the morning...
This kid looks like another "master hand" no matter how you look at him. He must be informed not to extend his hands to the inner city area. Otherwise, he might end up being caught like Shi Jin.
