Chapter 137 A Cat Has Nine Lives But One Heart (18)
1 a.m.
In N City Detention Center.
Luo Xiangfei lay on the hard bed in the eight-person room, his eyes wide open, staring straight at the ceiling, his face covered in bruises...
"Behave yourself! Go in and stay put!"
From the corridor came the shouts of policemen and the cry of pain from a suspect.
Clang——
The suspect was pushed by the police into the cubicle where Luo Xiangfei lived.
"Fuck him! He got arrested again!"
The newcomer cursed and swore without fear. He urinated in the toilet in the room with ease, took off his shoes, sat on the bed, and chatted with Luo Xiangfei while picking his feet.
"Brother, your face is bruised! Hahahaha... Were you beaten by those guys in uniform, or by your roommate?"
Wearing uniform = police officer, roommate = suspect detained in the same holding cell.
This guy speaks in "jargon" and is undoubtedly a habitual offender.
Luo Xiangfei didn't want to talk to him at all.
Because he had a good attitude towards admitting his guilt, the police did not give him any trouble.
The injuries on his face and body were caused by a few thugs who used to live here with him.
Luo Xiangfei was pinned to the ground and beaten for fun, with no power to fight back at all.
Later, the patrolling police discovered them and locked up the gangsters in other rooms, leaving Luo Xiangfei alone to enjoy the room for eight people.
Luo Xiangfei was holding a breath of anger in his chest, thinking that he could finally get a good sleep tonight, but he didn't expect that another talkative person would come.
"What's your crime?" the newcomer said, speaking in a familiar voice. "Well, I was caught stealing a cell phone, and I'm stuck in jail for a few days before I can go out and make a living."
Luo Xiangfei was silent for a long time. Seeing that the other person didn't look like he would fight, he curled his lips and replied, "Tsk. What kind of living is that? Stealing, cheating, kidnapping, and robbing. There's no future!"
"I have no choice. My wife is sick and needs medicine. I don't have any other skills, so I can only make money in a side business!"
When Luo Xiangfei heard that the other party stole the property in order to get his wife medical treatment, he immediately showed a look of sympathy.
Memories of the past flooded back into his mind.
Luo Xiangfei remembers that the first time he met An Huairou was the winter of his junior year.
On his way back to the dormitory after evening self-study, he received the news of his grandmother's sudden death over the phone.
Luo Xiangfei's father abandoned his wife and children and ran away from home. His mother worked hard outside to make money to support him. It was his grandmother who took care of his daily life.
When Luo Xiangfei heard the news that his grandmother was gone, he was standing on the school road. His head buzzed and he lost the ability to think. All the books in his hands fell to the ground with a clatter.
By the time he could react, his face was covered with tears and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground.
An Huairou happened to pass by at that time and thought that the boy had suddenly fallen ill, so she kindly stepped forward to ask about his condition.
After learning that he lost control of his emotions because of his grandmother's death, An Huairou, out of the compassion that a normal human being possesses, comforted him with a few kind words.
Thus began the beginning of an extremely romantic relationship in Luo Xiangfei's heart.
He felt that An Huairou was the guardian angel sent by the grandmother in heaven, so he used all his tricks to pursue this kind girl, and then step by step... made her his "private property" through various means.
Looking back now, Luo Xiangfei is still moved by himself - the two of them are a destined couple!
"...Don't try to steal the phone." Luo Xiangfei said proudly to the newcomer, "When you get out, come to our factory. I'll find you a job. Do your best!"
"Forget it, the little money I earn from working is not enough for the family!"
"Hey, the salary isn't high, but you can use your position to make some extra money. It's better than living like this, with no idea when you'll have enough to eat. Since you're so good to your wife, let's make some money together."
"Sure! Hey, bro, when are you going to get out? I'll only be locked up for two days."
Luo Xiangfei took out the glasses placed on the bedside, put them on, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"There are still 19 hours left. Wait until tomorrow - oh, no, it should be today! When tonight comes, I can see my wife again. I miss her so much..."
…
Luo Xiangfei was dreaming of a bright future in the detention center.
He had no idea that in an ordinary hotel, in an ordinary room in City N, three girls were staying up late to compile materials that could incriminate him.
5 hours ago, under the guidance and cover of Shisui, Momo sneaked into the dog farm of "Ai Chong Le Co., Ltd." for a secret visit.
After seeing the awful and dirty kennels and production workshops in the dog farm with her own eyes, Momo was stunned and trembling with anger.
She used her mobile phone to take photos of many pieces of evidence and was nearly caught by the old man on duty. In the end, thanks to Shi Sui's diversionary tactics, she was able to leave the dog farm smoothly...
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! Aren't the lives of furry children important?! The place that produces pet food actually abuses cats and dogs?! Who can believe this? Jail for life! Must be jailed for life!!"
Momo made several calls to the leaders of animal protection organizations to discuss how to quickly and unexpectedly collect evidence and seal off this clearly illegal company.
"We can't call the police here. Their response time is very slow, and there's suspicion of collusion between them and the local village chief... Yes, we need the provincial inspection team to come in person... We'll also need two accompanying veterinarians and some spare supplies. I'll make a list and send it to you later."
Momo doesn’t know yet that Luo Xiangfei is one of the employees of this factory, but she has learned from An Huairou’s unfortunate experience and is determined to avoid pitfalls and landmines and cut off the retreat of this black-hearted company in one fell swoop!
Everyone was busy and working in an orderly manner, while Shisui lay by the window of the hotel, enjoying the dried fish that Momo gave her.
It was not until after 3 a.m. that they finished organizing the information and discussed the plan - tomorrow morning, Momo's superior would personally bring the provincial inspection team over, seal off the scene, and take the sick cats and dogs away for rescue.
Momo was busy for a long time and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She closed her laptop, threw the empty coffee cup on the table into the trash can, and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
At this moment, one of her companions raised her cell phone excitedly.
"Momo, look! What a coincidence! I asked a friend to look up the key employee information for Ai Chong Le Co., Ltd., and there's a technician named Luo Xiangfei! He's the man who mentally abused Rourou. Do you remember him? We saw his name on Rourou's police report receipt today!"
Momo opened her mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time. She turned her gaze to the little black cat that had fallen asleep by the window.
Momo looked at her evenly rising and falling belly and exclaimed in disbelief: "Hey, Xiao Hei, are you really just a cat? And not a cat spirit?"
"Meow~"
Tokiho responded in a state of half-awake and half-asleep.
You guessed it right, but not entirely.
