Chapter 5 Cat-Fetus Case: Cat Abuse

Perhaps Mu Mian's gaze was too scorching, Fang Rui turned his head to look at her, "This is the tradition of our city bureau. All new employees have to take psychological tests, no matter who they are."

"Excuse me, have I passed your psychological test?"

"What do you think?"

"I think I have." Mu Mian finished reading all the psychology books on her sister's bookshelf when she was 12 years old. Since then, she has been able to pass any psychological test.

"You are quite confident."

Although Mu Mian's ability to recognize facial expressions is relatively weak, she always feels that Fang Rui's smile is hinting at her that he already knows that she is an autistic patient, otherwise there is no need to let her take such a psychological test.

Mu Mian quickly calmed down, she took out the bank card that she had prepared long ago from her pocket and handed it to Fang Rui.

Fang Rui looked at her in surprise. Every action of this forensic doctor Mu was unexpected.

"This is all the money I have, I'll give it all to you."

"Why are you giving it to me?"

"You should know." Considering that Xiao Zhang was also in the car, Mu Mian didn't want to show her "bribery" behavior too obviously.

Fang Rui frowned, his expression was stiff, "You are not going to buy my body with money, are you?"

Fang Rui wanted to kick Mu Mian out of the car immediately, but considering that Mu Mian was an autistic patient, he could only suppress his anger.

Mu Mian's eyes widened, her tone somewhat excited, "So you can buy it with money?"

After a while, she lowered her head and said dejectedly, "But I'm very poor now, and I only have this little money."

Compared with Fang Rui's body, she now wants to keep her secret more - she doesn't want others to know that she is an autistic patient, because that means she will be fired.

She really needs this job now.

"No!" Fang Rui said unhappily, "Don't even think about it! You are not allowed to mention the word corpse in front of me in the future!"

Fang Rui is a staunch materialist, but no one likes the feeling of being remembered for corpses while they are still alive.

"Okay." After being interrupted like this, Mu Mian didn't know how to turn the subject back to asking Fang Rui to keep the secret for her, so she could only find an opportunity to "bribe" him alone next time.

After sending Mu Mian home, Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang first asked the security guard of the community, Lao Chen.

Xiao Zhang handed the photo of the deceased to Lao Chen, "Uncle, do you know this person?"

"Yes," Lao Chen scanned the photo, "Isn't this Ms. Li from Unit 3, Building 8? How can I not know her!"

"Has she made enemies with anyone recently?"

"This Ms. Li is a well-known shrew in our community! She has a very bad temper and we have had many conflicts with her. Let me put it this way, the couriers would rather pay money or be fired than deliver express or takeout to her family. What's more, she is a mistress and her boyfriend's wife even posted a notice at the gate of our community... Ah, she wasn't the one you carried away this morning?"

Fang Rui interrupted him, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

Old Chen was like a detective possessed, and said excitedly: "Comrade police, you don't have to investigate this case. The murderer must be the girl in Room 542, Unit 3, Building 8, named Mu... Mu what's her name?"

"Mu Mian." Little Zhang was shocked, "Why do you think she is the murderer?"

"Everyone in the community knows. This girl is mentally ill."

"Why do you say that?"

"She moved in three months ago. She's very strange. She didn't talk at first, but she smiled at everyone she saw. However, her smile was very stiff, as if someone was forcing her to smile. We thought she was a little dumb, so we took good care of her. But when she met Ms. Li, she spoke more fluently than anyone else."

Fang Rui seemed to understand what Mu Mian was doing. She tried hard to pretend to be a normal person, but this made her look even stranger.

Thinking of this, Fang Rui felt guilty for his arbitrary refusal to let Mu Mian join the Special Crimes Unit.

"Later, when Mr. Liu from our property company went to fix the water pipes at her house, he saw a wall of bones in all shapes and sizes... She even declared that she would make Ms. Li into a specimen and hang it on her wall as a mural."

Fang Rui was speechless. This really seemed like something Mu Mian would do. After all, the first thing she did when she met him was to ask him if he could donate his body.

The guilt that had just risen in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Fang Rui took out the photo of the cat and showed it to Old Chen.

"Uncle, do you recognize this cat?"

"How can I recognize it?" Old Chen took a glance and immediately said he had never seen it before.

But he took a closer look and muttered, "This cat is so thin, it must be a stray cat. There are a lot of stray cats near our community, and they all look the same. But this one is a little too thin. Logically, there are several cat lovers in our community who feed them cat food every day, so it shouldn't be so thin!"

Fang Rui immediately grasped the key point of his words: "Where do those stray cats mainly gather?"

"In the small park next to our community," Lao Chen pointed to the square not far away, "There are a lot of stray cats and dogs squatting in the grass nearby. We can't drive them away, and we can't kill them, so we can only let them stay there."

"When do those cat lovers usually go to feed the cats?"

"Usually in the early morning or evening, mainly because they are free at this time. You know what, the cat food that stray cats and dogs eat is better than that of some domestic pets. No wonder they are reluctant to leave."

"Okay, if you remember any clues, please contact us immediately."

"Ah, I remember, this Ms. Li killed a cat before, and it seems a bit like this one..."

Xiao Zhang and Fang Rui looked at each other. This Ms. Li actually has a history of abusing cats

Fang Rui and Xiao Zhang ate something casually for dinner and went to visit the park again.

It was a cold spring recently, and there were few people in the park at night. They asked several people and they all said they had never seen this cat, and they didn't meet those who feed stray cats, so they could only come back another day to visit.
