Chapter 615 Haining Cat Island (25) [VIP]
Several customers who came to the store were crowded at the door angrily. The cow cat placed on the front desk was motionless and seemed to have lost its voice.
Bai Jinshu took a quick glance, quickly recalling in his mind all the cats that were fostered and kidnapped at Maode Academy, and frowned slightly.
He had never seen this cat before.
Guan Hongyan stared at the cat for a long time, then let out a soft "hiss" and gestured behind her.
Both high-end team members behaved like this. The two newcomers exchanged glances. Fang Xiang squeezed forward. Wu Meng immediately took advantage of Fang Xiang's cover, bent down, turned around, trotted back a few steps, and hurried to contact the store manager Li Ge.
The people who broke into the Maode Academy did not notice Wu Meng's departure. Guan Hongyan looked at the cat placed on the front desk for confirmation before speaking with certainty: "This cat is not a patient here... a sick cat, right?"
They had only been at Maode Academy for three days, and there were only a handful of cats that came to the academy for treatment, and cows were not among them.
There are several cows among the cats kidnapped by Maode Academy. However, not to mention those cats that are still in cages in the foster room, just the cow cat in front of us obviously has an owner.
"Don't try to deny your debt!" The middle-aged man holding the cat took a step forward angrily, "My mother said that the cat got into trouble because of you!"
"Well... Mr. Parent, we understand your anger," Guan Hongyan said calmly, "but this cat is not something we can treat here. We haven't treated any cow cats in the past few days."
I wonder if these people have come to the wrong place.
"Just because you say there is no answer, it means there is no answer!" an angry female voice said, "This is just turning your back on your words!"
"Then you check the surveillance?" Bai Jinshu glanced at the woman, "Or the medical records. We have only been open for three days, so the patient records and surveillance records are very short."
These people seemed genuinely anxious and it didn't seem like they were pretending.
The middle-aged man who broke in at the beginning had been holding the body of your cow cat in his arms. He just put it on the table for a while and then immediately returned it. It seems that they have a very good relationship.
Although the aggressive woman behind spoke harshly, there were tears in her eyes and a hint of sadness in her expression from time to time, which could not be deceived.
This group of people must have really come to seek justice for their pets, but they just went to the wrong place.
This is probably the reason why the hot-tempered Guan Hongyan did not lose her temper after being recognized as wrong.
"Our monitoring software is on the computer in the store," Bai Jinshu turned sideways and said, "You can check whether Cow Cat has been treated in the past few days since the store opened."
When he spoke with Du Zhongsheng's face, his credibility increased by several percentage points. The faces of several customers who had been aggressive towards Guan Hongyan softened a lot in an instant. The middle-aged man paused and said hesitantly: "I don't believe it. The medical records and surveillance are all from you. You will definitely delete the records after you kill the cat!"
"Tsk," Guan Hongyan crossed her arms, "So according to what you said, we can also forge or delete the medical records? No matter what evidence we have here, it is possible that we deleted your cat's medical records?"
"Yes... yes," the middle-aged man raised his head, a little confused as to why the doctor at the veterinary hospital suddenly spoke to them, "You will definitely not admit that you killed the cat."
"Then isn't this just scamming people?" Guan Hongyan twitched her lips speechlessly. "You have your mouth. No matter how we prove ourselves, you won't believe us. You killed the cat because we killed it, and you want us to pay for it. Didn't the almanac say that it's not a good idea to open a shop today and it's better to scam people?"
In just one morning, two waves of scammers came. What's going on?
[Sister Yan'er is so speechless, and Maode Academy is so unlucky. ]
[Two waves of scammers came in one morning. Is this the consequence of not checking the lunar calendar before opening a business? ]
[But to be honest, these people don't look like scammers. The girl behind them looks very sad.]
[Although, no matter how sad they are, this cat should really have nothing to do with Cat De Academy.]
Not only the exploration team members, but also the investors who had been watching the live broadcast discovered the fact that Cow Cat had nothing to do with Cat De Academy.
“You…” The agitated woman at the back took a few steps forward, her voice starting to sound a little tearful. “How could we possibly use bags to defraud people of money? We grew up with bags!”
"This...why don't you guys come in and talk first?" Xiao Zhen, the front desk clerk, was hurriedly called out from the warehouse by Wu Meng. She looked at the group of people at the door with a bewildered look on her face, "Don't block the door for now."
*
Ten minutes later, three women and two men holding cats sat on the sofa. On the high stools opposite them sat several employees of Maode Academy.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Zhen at the front desk locked the gate of Maode Academy to prevent the third wave of people from coming to commit fraud.
The two groups of people sat face to face, with five cups of hot water on the table in front of them. The receptionist, Xiao Zhen, said in a businesslike tone, "You have also seen the medical records and the surveillance videos. Since the opening of the Maode Academy three days ago, it has never received a cat with a cow pattern. You probably found the wrong person and the wrong place."
"That's impossible," the curly-haired woman on the left said hastily, "My mom said Bao Bao didn't eat a few days ago, so she took Bao Bao to get treated yesterday. Unexpectedly, Bao Bao was fine when she came back, but when she woke up this morning, she was dead."
Guan Hongyan pounded the white ashes and told the story.
Bai Jinshu:?
He turned around and looked at Guan Hongyan in confusion.
Guan Hongyan signaled with her eyes: [You are good-looking and they all believe what you say. Come on, tell me, they won’t believe me.]
Bai Jinshu: ...
He organized his words and said, "There should be other pet hospitals on Haining Island. Your mother... may not have sent the cat to us."
"Well... it's like this," Guan Hongyan rested her elbows on her knees and added, "You look at least in your forties, and your parents should be at least in their sixties or seventies. Maode College has only opened in the past three days. Before Maode College opened, although there were no traditional hospitals on Haining Island, there should have been some barefoot doctors who treated cats."
After all, Haining Island is such a big island. Even if everyone thinks that cats have nine lives, it is impossible to just ignore the cat when it is seriously injured and insist that it can be revived with full health after this life dies, right?
Even in the most ignorant and remote areas, people should know that such a thing is against common sense and impossible.
If there are doctors who treat humans, there must be doctors who treat cats. However, these veterinarians on Haining Island may not be officially recognized veterinarians, but just part-time workers.
Maode College is only the first registered pet hospital on Haining Island. Before Maode College, there must have been some folk doctors who treated cats.
"You said your mother took the cat to see a doctor. Your mother is in her seventies or eighties. I think she is more likely to take the cat to see those old doctors than to trust young people like us to bring the cat to this new pet hospital," Guan Hongyan said frankly. "You must have come to the wrong place."
These five middle-aged men didn't look like they were here to cause trouble, and they were not unkind when communicating. After Guan Hongyan said this, they looked at each other, and Bai Jinshu immediately saw some hesitation on their faces.
"No..." The middle-aged man who was holding the cat at the beginning thought about it and shook his head, "What mom said this morning was that I brought my bag to the pet hospital. Mom definitely wouldn't call those barefoot doctors a hospital."
"Could it be that your mother remembered it wrongly?" Guan Hongyan muttered, "After all, she is an elderly person, right, Doctor Du?"
In order to increase the recognition of the people on the opposite side, she deliberately nodded to Bai Jinshu, and when she saw him nod, she looked at the middle-aged man with satisfaction.
"Impossible," the youngest-looking woman on the left said firmly, "My mother is in good health. She dances square dance with the neighbors every morning and evening. She has a good memory. She is talking about your hospital."
"Tsk..." Guan Hongyan muttered, "Aren't you throwing mud at us? Besides, your cat refused to eat and died the next day after being brought to the veterinary hospital. It looks like it died of starvation, and it has nothing to do with the hospital."
How can this be attributed to the hospital?
"That's even more impossible!" the middle-aged man swore, "My mother said Bao Bao ate a lot after she came back yesterday. I didn't expect that she died the next day."
Guan Hongyan replied immediately: "He died of gluttony."
The five people opposite glared at him.
"No, this matter has nothing to do with us," Guan Hongyan pushed Bai Jinshu, "Du Zhongsheng, please say something quickly, use your invincible eloquence!"
This saint of the evil cult was so eloquent when facing the old lady who was trying to scam people just now, why is he so silent now?
Bai Jinshu: "...What was the cause of death of your cat?"
"I don't know," the middle-aged man said matter-of-factly, "He was killed by the hospital."
Guan Hongyan gave Du Zhongsheng a look: [Keep up the good work, they are now saying "they were cured to death by the hospital" instead of "they were cured to death by you."]
"Died this morning?" Bai Jinshu looked at the cow cat on the table in front of him.
"Yes," the woman on the left nodded firmly, "My mom called and said the bag was gone, so I immediately called my brother and the others. The five of us didn't even take a day off, and we all rushed home to bring the bag to the hospital to cause trouble... to get an explanation."
She was speaking indignantly when she suddenly realized that she was in the hospital and quickly changed her story.
"The bag was always healthy," another woman next to her said, "My mom said it was fine when it came back from the hospital yesterday, but it was dead when it woke up this morning. Nothing else happened during this period except coming to the hospital, so there must be something wrong with the hospital."
The five people opposite nodded in unison.
After hearing this, Bai Jinshu roughly understood what was going on.
"Is there a possibility," he looked at the five people in front of him, "that this cat died of natural causes?"
The five people on the opposite side: “Huh?”
"Didn't you just say that you grew up with it?" Bai Jinshu pointed at the body of the cow cat in front of him with the tip of his chin. "Judging from your ages, the youngest one must be in his thirties. If you grew up together, this cat must have been with you for at least a dozen years. Its lifespan is indeed almost coming to an end."
The longest lifespan of a cat is only about twenty years. Judging from the ages of the five people in front of me, it is almost time for this cat to die.
"As for not being able to eat, it's normal. Many animals, including humans, cannot eat before they die. I'm afraid last night was the cat's last gasp," he added. "If you really want an autopsy, we can also provide a stomach content examination, but it will not be complete when you bury it."
A critical hit.
The five people on the opposite side immediately jumped up: "No, no, no!"
The more backward a place is, the more it values burial. Even in developed areas where cremation has been promoted, most family members would find it unacceptable to have their stomachs cut open after a normal death.
Bai Jin said this just to bet that the five people lying there really treated the cat as a family member and were not trying to scam him. Now it seems that they are indeed different from the old lady who came before.
"How about this," Guan Hongyan gave Bai Jinshu a look that said "As expected of you," and then pretended to be a good person, "Why don't you call your parents and explain everything to them? We can provide you with a pet urn for free..."
The eldest sister among the five thought for a moment, whispered a few words with her younger siblings, and the five of them walked to a secluded corner of the hall with their cell phones to make a call.
Guan Hongyan stretched out her arms and said, "Huh, it's solved! No need to call Brother Li!"
"I'll tell Brother Li!" Wu Meng picked up the phone eagerly. "Just now I said someone brought a cat to say that we killed it. Brother Li was very worried and said he would come over soon."
"It has to be you, Du Zhongsheng," Guan Hongyan stretched and rubbed her stomach, "It's already noon, why hasn't the meal arrived yet?"
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
As soon as Guan Hongyan finished speaking, two knocks were heard outside the glass at the door. Everyone looked up and saw a familiar clerk at a glance.
Xiao Zhen ran to open the door, and soon came back with five packaged lunch boxes.
"The food is here," she said quickly as she unwrapped the package. "Brother Cheng said that several tour groups came without reservations, and the restaurant was overbooked at noon. They were so busy that they couldn't spare any help. They could only find one person to deliver the food now."
No wonder the meal was nearly an hour late this time.
The meal was almost one in the morning and everyone was starving. They didn't care about the five people who were on the phone and opened their lunch boxes to fill their stomachs.
The aroma of Haining Island's special soup instantly filled the entire hall.
At this moment, Bai Jinshu seemed to see the body of the cow cat in front of him move.
Bai Jinshu:?
Did you see it wrong?
He looked at the motionless body of the cow cat, then looked at the lunch box that they had opened, and seemed to know why it moved.
Bai Jinshu tentatively picked up a piece of fish from the soup with chopsticks and casually moved it around the cow cat's nose.
Now I could see clearly that the nose of this "dead" cow cat did twitch slightly.
"Du Zhongsheng?" Guan Hongyan was eating hard. When she looked up, she found Bai Jinshu staring at the dead body of the cow cat on the table. She asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Bai Jin said: "Look at the cat."
"Of course I know you're looking at a cat," Guan Hongyan muttered, "I mean you shouldn't stare at someone's corpse... huh?"
Before she finished her words, she saw the cow cat's nose twitching under Bai Jinshu's chopsticks.
"This..." Guan Hongyan raised her voice a little.
Bai Jinshu turned his head and made a gesture to keep quiet, and Guan Hongyan immediately shut up.
Is this cat not dead?
Is this cat pretending to be dead?!
The five people nearby had already walked back one by one after the communication was completed. The eldest sister among the five siblings spread her hands and said with some regret: "My mother... doesn't quite believe that Bao Bao died of old age. She must ask us for an explanation."
But with Du Zhongsheng's passive buff and very reasonable explanation, the five people had apparently believed that the cat died of natural old age and it had nothing to do with the pet hospital.
"Doctor," the middle-aged man looked at Du Zhongsheng with some embarrassment, "Do you have any equipment here that can detect whether a cat died of natural causes without opening its stomach?"
"Forget it, don't bother me," the third brother held the middle-aged man down, his face showing a sad expression, "Bao Bao has been with us for twenty years. He lived for so long and died without any pain. Let's not bother him after he's gone. How about burying him as soon as possible?"
"That's right," the middle-aged man pondered for a moment and sighed, "Twenty-something is already old for a cat. I wonder if we can fill a spot next to our ancestral grave to bury Bao Bao..."
"I think... well," Guan Hongyan said weakly, "why don't you guys rush to bury it? Maybe your cat is still alive?"
The cat was sniffing just now. Is it pretending to be dead... It is pretending to be dead!
"No, thank you," the elder sister patted Guan Hongyan's shoulder and said sadly, "We are really sorry for any offense just now. Bao Bao has been with us for more than 20 years and has become like a family member. Its sudden departure has made us lose our rationality..."
"It's not your fault...but that," Guan Hongyan hesitated, "How about trying to save him? Our top doctor Du Zhongsheng is really amazing."
How could it not be amazing? Just by picking up a piece of fish, he discovered the truth that the cow cat was pretending to be dead.
"No, it's been so many years, we just want it to rest in peace," the fourth brother sighed, "We have to learn to accept the reality of our loved ones leaving."
"It's good to learn this, but... that," Guan Hongyan said with a complicated expression, "How about you not learn it for now?"
The cat is not dead, it is not dead!
Why did he pretend to be dead for no reason? Why did he pretend to be really dead? She just touched the cat and it felt cold!
How did you do that, Cow Cat!
"Doctor Du is a very good doctor," she enthusiastically recommended. "Why don't you let him treat you and give it a try? Just give it a try?"
Then you will immediately find out that this cow cat, which is rumored to be mentally ill on the Internet, is really pretending to be dead.
"No, doctor," the five people shook their heads, "Really no."
Guan Hongyan: ...
She clearly wasn't upset at all, but for some reason she suddenly felt very powerless.
I felt as powerless as a Watsons shopping guide who followed a customer around the store for half an hour, selling countless new products, but in the end the customer didn't buy anything.
Barrage:
【I am dying of laughter, two levels flipped. 】
[Your fake death is outrageous, but your color makes up for it. ]
[More than ten minutes ago: Cat owner: I want you to pay for my cat's life! You killed it! Sister Yan'er: No, it has nothing to do with us! ]
[More than ten minutes later: Cat owner: Thank you for your comfort. I have accepted the fact that the cat is dead. Sister Yaner: It’s not dead! Your cat is not dead! ]
[I couldn't stop laughing. This was the first time I saw Sister Yan'er look so hesitant.]
[While Sister Yan'er was talking to several cat owners, in a corner where no one was paying attention, the Cat Saint had already sent his leader to attack the Cow Cat.]
[What does it mean to launch an attack? It's just to let the leader secretly show the tentacles to the cow cat. ]
[Master: Use your claws to pry open the cow cat's eyelids and then spit out its tentacles. ]
[The cow cat tried to resist having its eyelids ripped open, but failed.]
[Another cat has been victimized by the leader. Goodbye.]
In the unknown space, just when Guan Hongyan was in an extreme tug-of-war with the five masters, suddenly, a very terrifying sound came from above the table: "Meow——"
Everyone was startled and turned around instantly.
On the dining table, the cow cat that had been lying motionless on the table suddenly jumped up from the table, and then its fur stood up as if it had seen something terrible. It jumped more than two meters high and flew into the arms of the eldest sister of the five siblings as fast as a gust of wind.
The elder sister who was blaming Guan Hongyan a few seconds ago and saying "We have to accept that the cat is dead":...
The remaining four brothers and sisters have already started to persuade their mother: ...
Inside the Maode Academy, there was silence except for the engine sound of the Cow Cat Bag.
After more than ten seconds of extreme silence, the eldest sister seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The eldest sister stopped talking but still wanted to.
The eldest sister looked at the cat, then looked at Bai Jinshu: "This is..."
"Oh," Bai Jinshu said indifferently as he put the ocelot on the table and put it on his head. "I just observed it from a close distance and it seemed to have just entered a state of suspended animation, so I stimulated it a little."
——It means to let Huai Jiamu directly pry open the other person's eyelids and force the cow cat to watch the alien on the opposite side that can spit tentacles up close.
The effect is significant.
The cow cat is now huddled in the arms of its elder sister, shivering.
The five siblings were silent for a few minutes.
I don’t know who started it first: “Doctor Du, a miracle doctor.”
【Doctor Du, a miracle doctor. 】
【Doctor Du, a miracle doctor. 】
【Doctor Du, a miracle doctor. 】
…
The five cat owners who brought their cats to seek justice finally left with joy on their faces and many thanks.
Only five silent shop assistants and... Brother Li were left behind.
Brother Li was fortunate enough to witness all of this through the camera during a video call with Wu Meng.
"Well... it can be considered a happy ending for everyone. Everyone is happy." The store manager Li Ge said through the screen of his mobile phone with mixed feelings, "Well, thank you Doctor Du. Thank you Doctor Du for seeing at a glance that the cat was faking its death."
Guan Hongyan: ...
Guan Hongyan: "Don't thank me yet."
Others didn't see it clearly, but she did.
The way Du Zhongsheng wakes up the cow cat is to let the leader above his head scare people...ah, not scare the cat?
"This is such an eventful morning," Li Ge, who didn't know the truth, sighed, "This morning there was a scam and a fake death. I don't know if the almanac says it's not a good day to open a business."
Bai Jin, who was passing by, said: "I think this may be a business war, a conspiracy by other friendly merchants who want to open a pet shop on Haining Island."
"But fortunately, I have a lot of experience in observing business wars," he suddenly stopped and stood in front of Wu Meng's phone, his face serious, "I learned some business war skills from watching and hearing."
Guan Hongyan: . . .
Guan Hongyan: "Don't dye it yet!"
The author has something to say:
Sister Yan: Level 1 alert! I said level 1 alert!
