Chapter 15
Shen Che interrogated them downstairs for a while. Although they didn't say anything, he still managed to extract key information from their minds.
While pondering how to deal with these people, he instructed Xiao Li to lock them up, saying, "They're still useful. Keep an eye on them; this is evidence."
Xiao Li nudged one of them and replied, "Okay, boss, I'll treat them well. It's been a long time since we've had this much fun!"
Shen Che was initially a little worried, but he believed that Xiao Li should know what he was doing and that he could handle any problems.
Chen Che wondered how Ning Wensong's conversation was going up there, as he walked up.
Ning Wensong was still chatting with Xiao Li, but their topic had veered off course and they started talking about anime.
"Let me tell you, the male lead in this is super handsome, and the voice acting is amazing. You absolutely have to watch it!" Shen Che had just walked upstairs when he heard these words, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Ning Wensong noticed Shen Che immediately and quickly went to his side, pulling him to Xiao Li's bedside.
"You don't want me to repeat myself, do you?" Xiao Li looked at Ning Wensong with an incredulous expression. "I'm not going to repeat myself. It's a waste of breath. You two can tell me when you're alone."
The deep look in his eyes was so obvious that only Ning Wensong, that little fool, couldn't see it. Xiao Li sighed inwardly. She really wanted to be a matchmaker!
Ning Wensong looked at Xiao Li, who was still lying in the hospital bed, and decided not to make things difficult for her. She would talk to Shen Che alone that night. The most urgent thing now was how to punish that person. "Shen Che, what do you think we should do? The owner of that house hurt Xiao Li. Under human law, he could be imprisoned for a long time."
Xiao Li also emphasized, "I want him to suffer terribly. If only both forms of punishment could be done." That person deserves to die.
Shen Che hadn't spoken yet. He was reviewing what those three people knew in his mind. He cleared his throat and said, "Those three people were hired by Chang Qian, and that person hired his own subordinate. This matter is a bit complicated. Let me sort it out. It also has something to do with you, A Song."
"First, the person Chang Qian found is named He Ran. He sees A Song as a rival because Chang Qian supposedly has a lot of unique design sketches. So He Ran helped him find cats for the sketches. He found a lot. He was the one who came to the hospital and took away the fake cat last time. This time, Chang Qian gave a strict order: he would not give He Ran the design sketches if he couldn't find the cats. So, he didn't know what to do and had his men forcibly take them." Shen Che briefly explained the relationship between the people.
"Secondly, those people don't know many inside stories, but they do know that Chang Qian's house has a huge monitoring room." After Shen Che finished speaking, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.
Xiao Li was stunned. She had never known this before, but this also meant, "Now we have evidence, right? As long as we get the video evidence of him abusing and assaulting me, wouldn't all the human methods we need be solved?" At first, she felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that the person might still be watching her videos, but then she thought about it again, and this was definitely solid evidence.
After hearing this, Ning Wensong thought for a moment and immediately raised his hand, "Me! Me! Me! I can turn into a kitten and go in to steal... no, I mean go in to find evidence!" How fun would that be?
"No, it's too dangerous." Shen Che refused outright. Although he didn't know the specifics, he could guess that the person was definitely a sadist, and he would be crazy to agree to let Ning Wensong go.
Ning Wensong pouted after hearing this and snorted in dissatisfaction, "I'm not a real kitten, and besides, I still have you, don't I?" Chen Che has so many abilities, surely there's one that can enhance his combat power, right?
Xiao Li couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she waited for a moment when they were all silent before shouting, "I have a way!"
The two turned to stare at her at the same time. Xiao Li felt a chill run down her spine for a moment, but she forced herself to continue, “Every cat demon gains an ability after reaching adulthood. Mine is invisibility, but it has many bugs. If you secretly want someone to see you, your invisibility ability will fail.”
"Hmm... I can do that. I definitely don't want anyone to find out about me. I'm small like a cat, a perfect candidate. Chen Che, Chen Che, promise me you'll be careful in this kind of thing. Besides, you definitely won't let me get hurt, right?"
Ning Wensong started acting like a rogue; how could this kind of thing be complete without her?
She already considered Xiao Li a good friend.
Shen Che looked at them, knowing that Ning Wensong would definitely go. "Don't rush, let me go and see what's going on inside that house."
"No, actually I can easily retrieve the surveillance footage by myself, why should I ask you to do it?" Shen Che had just been tricked; this matter was so simple.
"Hehe, I only said I'd go because I know it's easy. Let me go play, Cat Battle!" Ning Wensong stuck out her tongue at him, looking playful and cute.
"Sigh, I can't go against your wishes, I'll listen to you." Chen Che compromised. He couldn't bear to refuse her, and he figured it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on things.
—
the next day.
It's still that same winding mountain road.
"Chen Che, what if I can't find my way in?" Ning Wensong began to worry; she was both excited and scared.
Shen Che stopped the car and snorted, "You're only asking now?" He was still a little angry, but when he glanced at Ning Wensong and noticed she was starting to sweat, he sighed inwardly.
"It's okay, I can share the map with you, which is like me speaking inside your brain."
"What kind of skill is this? I want to learn it!" It's so much fun! Ning Wensong isn't fully grown yet and doesn't know what his abilities are. "By the way, where are you?"
"I'm at the very top of the house because I need to see the structure from above. I'll be right beside you, so don't be afraid." Chen Che held her sweaty hand. Was she that nervous?
Chen Che turned around and looked at the tabby cat in the back seat, "Don't let me down later."
"Absolutely not, let's go!" Xiao Li was now very determined, only wanting to get the surveillance evidence as soon as possible. She owed Ning Wensong and the others a lot, and she would pay them back in the future.
The car became invisible under Shen Che's magic and slowly drove to the back gate of the house. After the person and two cats got out of the car, they checked their movements again.
Chen Che led the tabby cat to the top and stood there, where it was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras.
Although Ning Wensong was invisible, she was still a little uneasy.
Following the directions Shen Che gave her, Ning Wensong slowly walked through the back door. The house was haphazardly constructed, as if it had been built haphazardly by the workers. Upon entering, she found herself in a latrine storage room.
"Ugh... What kind of excrement did he put here?" Ning Wensong was a little overwhelmed; she was terrified that her paws would get covered in it.
Xiao Li, who was on the top floor, paused for a moment, and under Shen Che's terrifying gaze, she guiltily admitted, "It's mine. It's all because he's a pervert. Everything I've owned since I was a child is here."
"...I'm speechless." Shen Che was truly dumbfounded. Who was that person, with such a heavy taste? He sent a telepathic message to Ning Wensong, telling her to leave quickly.
"I'll give you a rose-scented bath when we get back, sweetie." Shen Che's words cheered Ning Wensong up a bit, and he followed the instructions to go out into a corridor.
Ning Wensong walked along the wall towards the end of the stairs; the monitoring room was said to be at the end of the third floor.
When things are going too smoothly, it usually means that something unexpected is about to happen.
"Chen Che! I saw a man at the top of the stairs on the second floor!" Ning Wensong became even more cautious, even if the other person couldn't see him.
Chen Che comforted her, telling Xiao Li to stay strong and not make any mistakes.
Ning Wensong changed from walking close to the wall to crouching under the handrail of the stairs, climbing up step by step. The man was still standing in the same place, his eyes staring into nothingness, but nothingness was where Ning Wensong stayed.
"Why do I feel like he can see me?" The presence of that gaze was so strong that Ning Wensong thought the other person could see him.
The man saw Devon hesitating in place, a pang of pity flashed through his heart, and then he turned and left. It seemed that the people here had nothing to do with the kitten.
Ning Wensong breathed a sigh of relief; he had scared the cat to death.
She continued along the route Chen Che had suggested, and thankfully, she didn't encounter anyone else along the way.
The monitoring room made Ning Wensong feel very uncomfortable; it was pitch black, with only the large screen in front of him displaying a dim light.
Ning Wensong jumped onto the control panel, inserted the USB drive hidden inside the cat, and started copying data. She was already very skilled at using the cat's paws.
"Chen Che, I'm not happy at all right now. This is so much fun, so easy, hehe." A little incident didn't affect Ning Wensong's mood.
"Okay, you're Detective A-Song today. Go straight to the window at the bottom of the stairs, and I'll bring you up." The person from earlier seemed a bit strange, so Chen Che decided to stay and observe.
Ning Wensong waited for the progress bar; there was too much data, and he waited a full five minutes.
She slowly moved to the windowsill, calling out to Chen Che in her heart. The next second, a force dragged her directly to the rooftop.
"Wow, this feels so good!" She laughed heartily, her laughter dispelling the oppressive atmosphere in the house.
Xiao Li looked at the USB drive Ning Wensong brought back and became happy. "Ning Wensong, thank you!"
"What's the big deal? We're already friends, aren't we?" Ning Wensong valued friendship highly. This wasn't difficult; all she had to do was treat Xiao Li to fried chicken and hot pot when she had money in the future.
whee.
Shen Che didn't pay attention to the two of them. He already knew that this should be the territory of his old friend, not human territory. He had just sensed that person's aura.
That person, the man who was at the stairwell just now, is named Hein. He was also helpless. He had slept for half a century, and when he woke up, the house belonged to someone else, and the layout had changed.
He found it strange as soon as he saw Ning Wensong. After investigating the entire house, Hei Yin no longer wanted it and wanted to burn it down.
He sensed a presence, jumped to the rooftop, and immediately saw Shen Che, the Devon from before, and a sickly cat.
"Long time no see, Shen Che." Hei Yin's tone was flat. Looking at the person and the two cats, he hesitated for a moment. Shen Che should agree, right? "Shen Che, can you do me a favor?"
Chen Che was strange. In his memory, Hei Yin was taciturn and only knew how to sleep. He would never ask for help. "Go ahead and say it."
Blackie was a little embarrassed to say, "I want to get a haircut. I've been sleeping too long, and my hair is falling out all over the floor. I can't stand it anymore, and I don't have any money."
