Chapter 121
Given Jiang's current condition, Chu Huan and the system didn't dare mention the cat abuse incident again, lest the retching escalate.
Knowing that Huai Yang is not a good person, Jiang will take the initiative to distance himself from him. As for the punishment?
Dasheng does not have a cat protection law, so there is no way to punish according to the law. The most that can be done is moral condemnation, asking neighbors to take good care of their cats to avoid them being caught and harmed.
It took Jiang a long time to recover, and she sighed, "How attractive am I to scumbags?"
Chu Hua: "It's just bad luck. Besides, don't you have a flower protector by your side?"
She had asked similar questions when she was chatting privately with the system before, but due to time constraints, the system only said a few simple words.
Jiang was stunned: "Who is it?"
Chu Huan didn't rush to say his name, but only hinted: "That person may not be very gentle, nor good at talking, but he is always by your side."
Jiang's pupils gradually dilated: "It's him!"
Chu Huan smiled, and Jiang suddenly realized something, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Not only was he not very good at speaking, he was extremely bad at it!
After the divorce, that man came to the house many times and even gave Jingjing a cat. Huaiyang knew to come more often under the pretext of visiting the cat, so how could he not know? Idiot!
Forget it, let’s talk about it after we get back.
Huai Yang’s matter is more important now.
Jiang felt that her judgment of people was not good. She already knew about Yu Jiayan's matter, and she also had to get to the bottom of Huai Yang's matter. She had to learn the lesson completely so that she would remember it better.
"Why would Huaiyang abuse a cat?"
When Chu Huan was chatting privately with the system, she only knew the result but not the reason. She pricked up her ears when she heard it.
Everyone in the Chu family was also very curious.
What deep hatred does Huai Yang have for cats? It can't be that he was scratched and bitten by a cat when he was a child and disfigured, so he still holds a grudge against it, right?
Just now, Jiang and the system didn't say what Huai Yang looked like. If his face was disfigured, it would easily scare the children. The system didn't say that Jingjing was scared when she first saw Huai Yang, so this possibility is not high.
So why is that?
As everyone frantically racked their brains to guess, the system revealed the reason: [There are many reasons, but let's talk about personality first.]
Huaiyang has a rather dark and negative personality. When faced with difficulties and setbacks, he never looks for the cause within himself, but instead blames and resents others. Some do this unconsciously, while others do it knowingly and intentionally, as self-reflection and correction are difficult, and blaming others is much easier and more convenient.
From a very young age, he knew his true character was disliked. The elders disliked him, and his peers didn't associate with him. When he and his cousin had an argument, he was the only one to be reprimanded and reprimanded by the elders. Even if it was his cousin's fault, the elders still didn't believe him.
After a few times, he understood what kind of person was more worthy of others' likes and trust. He studied hard, improved his grades, and disguised himself as a gentle and kind person, smiling at everyone he met and speaking softly. This trick really worked.
This made Chu Huan think of the top students and the poor students.
When she was in school, teachers liked top students very much. If something really happened, they would trust the top students who studied hard rather than the poor students who often acted naughty and skipped classes.
The same is true for the elders in the family. During festivals, they love to show off the children with good grades and give them more red envelopes. The top students are always higher on the food chain than the poor students, and the gentle and talkative ones are always higher on the food chain than the taciturn ones.
System: [Huai Yang's true personality is completely different from his disguised personality. The more popular his disguised personality is, the more Huai Yang feels how much his true self is disliked. The longer this goes on, the more resentful he becomes.]
If negative emotions accumulate and aren't released, they can lead to depression and pain. Huaiyang used to vent this by hitting pillows, tearing pages from books, and plucking plants and flowers. Finally, he took it all out on his cat.
The change in his methods of venting his anger also reveals that at first he was afraid others would find out, so he would hide and hit his pillow in the bedroom. Later, he would go to the study and the garden, destroying other people's favorite flowers. His methods became increasingly bold and violent.
The methods of cat abuse range from simple beatings to large needle pricks, leg breaking, claw clipping, and tail amputation. The specific scenes are extremely bloody and cruel, and it is easy to give you nightmares after hearing about them, so I will not elaborate on them here.
His tactics were escalating rapidly, and Chu Huan was a little worried: [If one day torturing cats can no longer satisfy his urge to vent and destroy, will he choose to turn his wrath against humans?]
He chose cats over dogs because cats are smaller and less powerful than dogs. Among humans, the elderly and children are relatively vulnerable. If he were to take this step, the first victims would likely be children.
Jiang and Wen are both mothers. They feel terrible when they think that their child will be abused by Huai Yang like a cat.
Many people in the Chu family frowned. Cat abuse had nothing to do with them. After all, they were not the victims. But if it was abuse or murder of people, there was no telling whether their family members would be affected.
Before the accident happens, who knows which unlucky person will die?
Jiang was the most worried because her daughter Jingjing was familiar with Huaiyang and trusted him.
No! I have to tell Jingjing what kind of person Huai Yang is when I get back. Otherwise, if Huai Yang takes advantage of Jingjing's ignorance and suddenly attacks her, then no matter how much she regrets not listening to Chu Huan's advice, it will be useless!
The system said awkwardly: "Sister Huan, I can only check what has happened, not what might happen in the future."
Chu Huan was recalling the plots she had seen in suspenseful crime dramas in the past, wondering if there were any similar examples for her to refer to. She answered a little absentmindedly: "I know."
The system was very familiar with Chu Huan. It knew her mind was already wandering from the moment it heard her tone: [What are you thinking about?]
Chu Hua: [I wonder if cat abusers will escalate to murder.]
The system gave a conservative answer: [I can only say it's possible, but I can't give a 100% guarantee.]
Seeing Chu Huan and Jiang's worried expressions, the system thought for a moment and suggested, "How about I check to see if there are any similar examples in Dasheng? If there aren't any in Dasheng, I'll look for examples in other countries."
Chu Hua: [Okay, thank you for your hard work.]
Jiang: "Sorry to bother you, Tong'er."
[Not hard~] The system went to work without any effort.
Chu Huan and Jiang took a few sips of tea before the system returned with its search results: [Yes, this result really makes me feel complicated.]
Everyone: ???
It’s a great thing that the system can use this adjective, right?
System: [The murderer is a woman in her fifties who gets a thrill from torturing cats. Seeing cats unable to resist, struggling to death, and slowly dying under her hands, she feels a thrill.]
After doing the same thing too many times, the excitement dwindled, so she resorted to torturing cats more often to increase her excitement. Later, when torturing cats no longer provided her with excitement, she turned her hands to children, initially beggars on the streets, who would be tempted to do her bidding for a few steamed buns.
When the thrill of torturing beggars began to wear off, the old woman changed her targets, and her methods gradually escalated. She pulled out nails, broke bones, and chopped off toes... She employed many of the torture methods used by the Pacification Bureau.
Everyone was so angry that their chests were about to explode. It was simply insane!
When they heard about cats being abused and killed, they didn't feel so strongly. It was mainly because of the different races. Many people were indifferent to cats, but when they heard about children being abused and killed, they immediately frowned.
The system sighed: [Shh! She looks like an ordinary old lady, who would have known she was doing such a thing behind the scenes?]
This type of people often lack empathy and are unable to understand the needs and pain of others. They cannot sympathize with the pain of their own kind, so we cannot expect them to understand the pain of cats.
In short: there's no hope.
Chu Huan decided to wait and find out the old lady's name and address, and then have the Imperial Guards arrest the man immediately to prevent any more victims. She couldn't be held responsible for the crime of cat abuse, but how could she escape the crime of murder?
【Why are you feeling complicated? 】
System: [I found several examples of cat abuse escalating to murder. After reading them, I chose this one because I think it's important to let many people know that cat abuse and murder have nothing to do with gender or age.]
[Also, the old lady's case has already come to an end. You're almost pissed off after hearing this, but hearing this conclusion might make you feel better.]
Chu Huan was puzzled for a moment: [Will she not get her comeuppance?]
[That's right!] The system's voice became excited. [Cats have their own way of communicating with each other. They know what kind of evil person the old lady is, so they avoid her.]
One day, cats saw an old woman locking up and abusing a child, beating the child until he was covered in bruises. The cats messaged each other and decided to save the child.
The cat was quite clever, knowing it couldn't do anything to the bipeds. It called over many other cats and its best friend, the dog. The cat lured the old woman away, separating her from her child. Then, the cat and dog pounced and bit the child, their cries and noise attracting many people.
The story of the old lady torturing a cat and killing someone was exposed, and the child's parents came to the scene. Seeing their child covered in bruises from abuse, they were so angry that they almost beat the old lady to death.
When her family and relatives learned what the old lady had done, they all avoided her like the plague. She was thrown into a cell and dealt with according to the law.
Chu Huan was stunned: [Your melon-eating system doesn't even let go of cat melons? ]
Everyone in the Chu family was also shocked. In this day and age, cats can save people?
The cat even knew that it was outnumbered and might suffer a loss, so it called on friends from the cat and dog worlds, and the two sides joined forces to attack. It was amazing!
The system felt the need to justify itself: [Humans are the creators and largest providers of melons. Cats and dogs can also make melons. We're all living beings, so stop discriminating, okay?]
[No discrimination, just surprise.] Chu Huan was particularly interested at the moment. [What's the melon about cats?]
Everyone in the Chu family was more curious than the other. They had eaten too many love melons and crime-solving melons, but this was their first time eating a cat melon.
So amazing!
The system picked and chose in the interface and found a more interesting one.
Many young ladies from wealthy families keep flowers and pets in their boudoirs, often hosting banquets where they sometimes compete for the fame and rarity of their flowers, or the cuteness and rarity of their cats.
The granddaughter of the Minister of Rites raised a cat called "Texuexunmei". The little girl loved her cat very much and would not allow anyone to say that "Texuexunmei" was not good. She also often took the cat out to banquets.
The little girl noticed that Taxue's appetite had increased and she had gained weight. She thought she was pregnant, so she was furious and took the cat to find someone to settle the score. She kept asking every cat she met, "Did you do this to me?" Since the cats couldn't talk, they couldn't give her an answer.
The little girl was furious. In her eyes, Taxue was still a kitten. How could she possibly get pregnant and give birth to a baby? But since Taxue was pregnant, she had no choice but to give birth.
Chu Huan had a premonition that something big was coming!
System: [The girl's anger subsided and she began to look forward to Taxue's cub. She sent for a veterinarian. The veterinarian felt the cub and said awkwardly, "Miss, Taxue is still young. Has he been pooping less these days?"]
[The person was being subtle. The translation is: Your Taxue is still a little baby, not yet pregnant. Her belly is big not because she's pregnant, but because it's full of shit.]
"puff--"
"Hahaha!"
“This is too funny!”
Not long ago, the atmosphere in the Chu family was tense because someone abused a cat and killed someone, but now everyone was laughing, and the dullness was swept away.
Even the system's babyish voice could be heard to be somewhat cheerful: [The little girl didn't react at first, but when she did, her face flushed red and she hurriedly sent the vet away. She was so upset that she even skipped the cat party with her sisters.]
Six months later, the little girl couldn't help herself and took her beloved Taxue out for another party. Soon after, Taxue's belly grew bigger again. The little girl blushed as she recalled what happened six months ago, thinking Taxue was constipated again. But soon after, she gave birth to kittens, leaving the little girl furious.
Chu Hua: [Ah? Isn't she looking forward to seeing her child stepping on the snow?]
Everyone nodded: That’s right!
[Puff——] The system laughed heartily. [Because Taxue is a black cat with white gloves, but her three kittens are a golden tiger, a tabby cat, and a lion cat. In short, none of them look like their mother.]
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: [Oh, that seems to be the case. Cats can give birth to several male kittens at the same time.]
As long as the objective conditions are met, a woman can give birth to a child with two fathers in one birth, and a cat can do it even more.
System: [The little girl raised the kittens a little older and angrily brought them to her sisters' party, wanting to know which cats had killed her beloved Taxue. Everyone worked hard for several days and finally found the three cats that looked most like the kittens' fathers.]
The young girl politely accepted the betrothal gifts and found three cat husbands for her family, asking them to raise the puppies together. If anyone failed to take good care of the puppies or treated them badly, she would pull their ears and teach them a lesson.
What's the funniest thing? The father of the lion cat born to Taxue was a stray cat that accidentally strayed into her house, while the father of the golden tiger was her brother's cat, and the father of the tabby cat was her grandmother's cat.
Chu Huan was silent for a moment, then concluded: [In other words, the little girl's commotion didn't help Taxue find the cub's biological father?]
The system chuckled: [Yes.]
Everyone: “…”
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should feel sorry for the little girl who was being eaten by her own children without knowing it, or the cubs who couldn't find their father, or the three cats who were happy to be fathers.
There are too many factors, and your circle is really messy.
