Chapter 64 Secret
After buying Xiao Mo's wife, Xia Mufan also bought the water plants that Xiao Mo wanted. Seeing Xiao Mo's servile look as he tried hard to please his wife, Xia Mufan couldn't help but smile.
"She's still young, you should be friends with her first, don't scare her, understand?"
Xiao Mo responded while blowing bubbles.
[I see, she’s still a baby. 】
[I'm not in a hurry. I'll coax my wife.] 】
Gu Shaoqi had been looking at Xia Mufan silently. Seeing her smiling face and the way she treated Xiao Mo as if he were her younger brother, he felt warm in his heart for some reason.
This girl is calm and powerful when solving cases, but she is easy-going and friendly when she is with pets.
This wonderful sense of contradiction gives Xia Mufan a charm that attracts the lonely and confused Gu Shaoqi.
Ever since his parents were murdered, Gu Shaoqi has had only one goal in life: to find the murderer and bring him to justice. To this end, he became a forensic doctor, worked hard to hone his professional skills, never slacked off, and constantly pushed for the reopening of cases. For countless days and nights, looking at the photo of the family of three, he felt that he was the only one left in the world, all alone.
Xia Mufan intervened strongly, and an old case that had been silent for six years was solved. Gu Shaoqi got his revenge, but while he was happy, he felt a sense of loss as if his life goals were missing.
What should he do? Where should he go?
Without the internal motivation to continuously hone his technical skills, how can he find a new direction forward?
Xia Mufan is different.
She became a police officer to find her mother. After her mother was found, she did not feel confused at all and quickly got involved in a new case.
How does she manage to be so energetic and enthusiastic every day?
How does she manage to live a positive life and never feel lonely even when her mother is not around?
Gu Shaoqi felt a deep desire in his heart to get close to Xia Mufan, just like a person walking at night seeing a ray of light.
Thinking of the conversation between Xia Mufan and the boss just now, Gu Shaoqi walked up to the boss, asked the price and paid the bill. In addition to the things Xiao Mo picked, there were also the cat food, cat grass and new mat that Meihui liked.
After buying all these, Gu Shaoqi pulled the boss aside and handed him a pack of cigarettes sealed in a plastic bag. Boss Qian looked at the cigarette with some surprise: "Oh, this is a good cigarette."
Gu Shaoqi looked at Xia Mufan who was teasing Xiao Mo, and lowered his voice: "My sister is naive, and she thinks everyone is a good person. My neighbor also has a cat at home, so they come and go quite often. You just said you wanted to stay away from him, but why? If you don't explain clearly, you can see that she is so simple-minded that she won't take your reminder to heart at all. So, tell me quietly, I won't tell anyone, and I won't reveal any information about you."
Gu Shaoqi could see that the boss was a businessman and didn't want to offend customers easily. He reminded Xia Mufan just now because she was a good cat owner. If you want to hear more, you must dispel its concerns and give it certain benefits.
Sure enough, Boss Qian, who was addicted to smoking, smiled brightly when he saw the good cigarettes. Then, seeing that Gu Shaoqi looked decent and was a good brother who cared about his sister, he told him the whole story in detail.
It turns out that Zhu Shengrong is a frequent visitor to the flower and bird market.
Although he doesn't have much money, he comes to the pet shop every now and then. He only buys kittens as pets, the cheapest kind of tabby cats, and he can take one home for just a few dollars. When buying cat food, I only buy that brand that they say has a strong fragrance and cats love it. He still buys cat food in bags of one or two kilograms because he doesn't have money to buy a bag.
Such stingy customers are generally not well received.
At this point, Boss Qian gritted his teeth and said, "It's not because he's stingy that I don't like him, I think he's abnormal!"
Xia Mufan walked over and listened carefully.
Boss Qian looked at Xia Mufan and said, "You like cats, so you should take good care of them and hope they live a long life, right?"
Xia Mushige nodded: "Of course."
Boss Qian said: "But I don't think he is like that. I once kindly reminded him that this kind of cat food would make cats addicted and it is not good for the stomach and kidneys, but he just grinned and said, it doesn't matter."
"He would buy a kitten at least every two months. Think about it, think carefully, under what circumstances would he buy cats so frequently?"
Xia Mufan's expression changed suddenly.
Thinking of what Zhu Shengrong's wife said, that when her son was a child, the cat he raised died and the dog he raised was lost, she had an angry thought in her mind: "He killed the cat?!"
Boss Qian also had an unhappy expression on his face. Although he opened the pet shop mainly to make money, he also hoped that all the pets in his shop could find a good owner and have a warm home. When encountering a customer like Zhu Shengrong, Boss Qian naturally doesn't want to interact with him. Whenever he came to ask for the price, he would deliberately ask for a high price, as long as the customer didn't buy the cats in his shop.
Boss Qian said, "I don't think he's a good person. I asked him why he bought so many cats, and he was very rude. He gave me a hard look and said I was being nagging. He's actually very careful and doesn't buy cats from just one store, but there are only seven or eight cat and dog businesses in our flower and bird market, and we keep in touch with each other, so they'll know everything if we tell them."
"When he saw the kitten, there was no joy in his eyes, only greed. He doesn't like to talk and has a very dull temperament, but he dresses well and his wallet is made of real leather. But there is no money in his wallet and he is very stingy. I have been doing business for so many years and I can tell at a glance that he is not a good person, so I told you not to associate with him."
Xia Mufan has had a good relationship with the cats and dogs in the village since he was a child, and he hates it most when humans bully them. I used to think that abandoning pets was the greatest evil done by human beings, but I never expected that Zhu Shengrong would actually kill a cat. If the cat wasn't dead, why would I have to buy a new one every two months?
"hateful!"
Xia Mufan is now basically certain that Zhu Shengrong died from eating cat food, most likely because he killed the cat.
So, who did it?
How is this done?
Zhu Shengrong hid it very well, and his wife Liu Caiyang had no idea that he had a cat. So, where did Zhu Shengrong hide the cat after he brought it home? Who would know his secret?
Is it blackmail after knowing the secret, or some other means of coercion?
Something that pet store owners all know, are they involved?
In an instant, Xia Mufan thought of a lot of things.
