Chapter 143: Footprints
"How do you tell it's the same cat?" The big man looked puzzled, didn't the cat's footprints all look like this?
"Idiots, different people have different walking postures, and cats are the same. Although the footprints of cats all look similar, they can still be identified by the distribution of footprints and other characteristics. Zhuo Ling patiently explained to him, "If you look at these footprints carefully, the distance between two of its footprints is relatively large, indicating that this cat walks outside the figure." ”
"Cats also have an outer eight characters?" the big man heard for the first time.
"Cats, if not overweight, are generally calcium deficient or have other underlying causes. Gu Yue added.
"It's amazing, you can judge it, and it's up. The big man was amazed, and Gu Yue and Zhuo Ling directly ignored him.
"Officer Zhao, please ask someone to investigate if any of your classmates have secretly raised cats, and by the way, investigate whether there are domestic cats and wild cats near the school. Yun Jian turned around and said.
"Good. Zhao Xiaojun said and began to call and give orders.
"Senior brother, we still have to check for footprints on the windowsills of other dormitory buildings. Gu Yue said.
"Do you suspect this is another serial case?" Yunmi reacted.
Gu Yue nodded, "Although there is no connection between the two victims, the cat footprints on the windowsill indicate that this should be the same case." Now that there is a second, there will be a third and a fourth. ”
"There are so many dormitories, let's check them one by one, we don't have to die of exhaustion!" When the big man heard the workload, he suddenly felt a little big.
"Do you bring your head to look high-looking? I can ask the senior brother to mobilize the students of the whole school to help, let them check their dormitories, so that the results will come out quickly. Zhuo Ling gave the big man a blank look.
"It would be better for Officer Zhao to come forward. Yun Jian said lightly. Zhao Xiaojun smiled bitterly, yes, he took the task of running errands.
After checking the dormitory again and finding that there were no useful clues, Yun saw that the four of them left. Since they still had to wait for some news, they went to the cafeteria to solve the problem of dinner first.
Since Nana's cat meow and the boy's strange appearance were both at night, they might have to stay on campus tonight.
"Do you have a clue?" In one of the cafeterias of Yisu University, Zhuo Ling and Gu Yue bought food, took the plate and began to find a seat. Behind him, the big man said in a loud voice to the aunt who was cooking, "Auntie, bring me a chicken steak, this fish and that casserole." ”
"There is too little information," Gu Yue found a seat for four people by the window and shook his head, "I'm afraid that I will mislead the direction if I make assumptions now, so let's wait for news from Officer Zhao." ”
"Assuming they're in the middle of an evil spirit, and the time point of the attack is at night, are we going to act separately again?" As soon as the big man sat down, Zhuo Ling snatched a piece of chicken steak from his plate.
"It's easier to handle the boys' dormitory, but the question is what to do with the girls?" Gu Yue also took a large piece of fish from the big man.
"No, why do you keep stealing my food. "The big man isn't happy anymore.
"We're testing for you. Zhuo Ling said righteously.
"I'm stupid!" the big man scoffed, then rolled his eyes and smiled evilly, "It's easy for the girls to do it, you two continue to wear women's clothes!"
Gu Yue was just about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing at the door of the cafeteria, he stood up and chased him out without saying a word.
"What's the matter?" the big man was taken aback by Gu Yue, "Did what I just say irritate him?"
"He should have seen something. Zhuo Ling put down his chopsticks and looked at the door.
"What's wrong?" Yun Jian came to Gu Yue's side.
"I saw a black cat. Gu Yue looked around for a week, and after he couldn't find a trace, he retracted his gaze and returned to his seat with Yun Jian, "Do you remember the footprints we saw, how many?"
"Six. Yunmi added, "There are six footprints on both windowsills. ”
"The black cat I just saw had a lame leg. ”
"You mean, it's very likely that it's the cat involved in the case?" the big man's eyes widened.
"Could it be such a coincidence?" Zhuo Ling looked at the three of them, "It appeared so soon." ”
"What can a cat do?" Yun Jian combined what he had learned and the explanation of Zhen on the "Pillar of Life and Death", looked at Gu Yue and asked, "The shape of Zhen is humanoid, did you pay attention to its eyes just now?"
Gu vaguely understood what Yunjian meant, "It's yellow." ”
"Senior brother mean, this cat may be a ghost?" Zhuo Ling pondered for a moment, "If you think so, it makes sense that it can go up to the eleventh floor." ”
"And it's true that ordinary cats can't do anything, but if it's a, it's different. Gu Yue took over the topic and obviously agreed with this point of view.
"Could it be that something has evolved?" said the big man, chewing on a chicken cutlet in his mouth.
"Idiot!" Zhuo Ling slapped him on the head, "In your eyes, felines are more advanced than us humans?"
"Uh, it's a bad word, that's a mutation?" the big man almost bit his tongue.
Gu Yue and Yun Jian didn't say anything more, and while thinking, they lowered their heads and ate their meals.
Not long after eating, Zhao Xiaojun called the four of them, saying that except for the two footprints they knew, there were no footprints in the other dormitories for the time being.
This means that, so far, there have only been two victims. However, even so, the four of them still need to carry out their tasks separately.
Zhuo Ling and Fu Chuan plus Zhao Xiaojun went to the boys' dormitory to keep vigil, while Gu Yue and Yun Jian went to the girls' dormitory, and Zhao Xiaojun also assigned two police officers to accompany them.
Midnight.
"Meow!"
A terrible cat meow resounded in the girls' dormitory building, and Gu Yue and Yun Jian, who were in the living room, immediately stood up and knocked on the door of Nana's bedroom.
The door opened, and Shin Shin pointed to the window with a panicked expression. Gu Yue and the two stepped into the bedroom, and happened to see Nana open the window and squatting on the windowsill on all fours.
As if hearing the movement behind her, she glanced back at a few people, and her yellow vertical pupils stared at a few people indifferently, looking particularly strange under the light.
Then, with a leap of her hand, like a cat, she borrowed her strength from the windowsill below in an extremely strange posture, and soon disappeared into the night.
"Chase!" Yun Jian let out a low sigh, and the two of them quickly ran towards the elevator, and the two police officers also followed closely behind them.
"Cafeteria direction!"
Getting out of the elevator, Gu Yue saw Nana's light body leaping on the path of the campus, and seemed to go straight to the cafeteria where they solved dinner.
The two police officers had already started the police motorcycle, Gu Yue and Yun saw one by one, and quickly got into the back seat, and the four of them drove in the direction where Nana disappeared.
When the four of them drove to the cafeteria, they were still surprised by what they saw.
I saw Nana squatting next to the garbage bin outside the cafeteria, the garbage bin had been kicked over by her, she fumbled in the garbage bin with both hands for a while, picked out a bone stained with inexplicable juice, put it in her mouth and gnawed it. The yellow vertical pupils looked particularly indifferent and bewildering under the reflection of the street lamp.
Hearing the voice, she turned her head, grinned with her mouth stained with inexplicable juice, and bared her teeth at Gu Yue and the four of them. Then she turned back, reached out and tinkered with the bin, pulled out a leftover fish, held it to her lips with both hands, and stared at the four of them vigilantly as she gulped it down.
"Oh my God, is she hungry, how did she eat all these leftovers?" said one of the officers, dumbfounded.
Such a delicate-looking girl, squatting next to the garbage bin like a cat and eating leftovers, with inexplicable vegetable juice remaining in her mouth, this picture is a little abrupt and weird no matter how you look at it.
The point is, how did she get her mouth, even the big men of them, smelling these smells in the garbage can, they are about to vomit, let alone eat it.
Da!
Gu Yue tentatively took a step forward, Nana immediately stopped biting, the yellow vertical pupils stared at the young man without blinking, the whole person bowed, and even the long hair on his head stood up.
She bared her teeth at the young man, as if to warn him that if he took another step, he would be welcome.
"Officer Li, please go to the snack street outside to buy some food and come back, we are here to guard her. Yun Jian said to a police officer beside him. The officer said yes and rushed out on his motorcycle.
"Zhuo Ling, how is the situation over there?" asked Yun Jian with his watch turned on.
"He's started throwing rocks at himself again, and now we've forcibly tied him up with a rope and kept the situation under control for the time being. ”
"Okay, feel free to contact us if there is a situation. ”
"Understood!"
Soon, Officer Lee returned and bought several different supper. Gu Yue took one of them, squatted down to open the bag, carefully handed over the food, and waved his hand at Nana.
Nana looked at the leftovers in her hands, and then at the fragrant food in Gu Yue's hands, sniffed with her nose, and hesitated for a while, the yellow vertical pupils still stared at the young man without blinking.
Seeing this, Gu Yue did not approach her, gently put the food on the ground, and then took a few steps back.
Nana tentatively stretched out her right hand to get the food, while staring vigilantly at Gu Yue and a few people, and after getting the hot food, she tore a few bites and suddenly vomited violently.
"What's going on?" a police officer sniffed the supper on his hand, tasted it, and found that it tasted okay, not so bad that it made people vomit.
"Could it be that you have a bad stomach?" Officer Li also tasted a supper.
"Did she eat anything today?" Gu asked Yue.
"Listening to the girl named Xinxin, it seems that she has not eaten. ”
"Is it because she is catified and is not interested in human food?" Gu Yue muttered, "It shouldn't be, the leftovers she ate just now are also human food." ”
"Is there any fish food in the snack street?" asked Yunjian.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't think about it, so I'm going to buy it. Officer Li patted his head and stepped on the motorcycle to buy food again.
After he bought it back, Gu Yue put the fish on the ground again, Nana reached out and hooked up the food, ate a few bites, and actually vomited again.
Gu Yue and the four of them looked at each other, if it is a cat, then they should like to eat fish, why do they vomit when they eat fish?
But no matter how much they wondered, Nana kicked away the food she had bought and continued to rummage through the leftovers in the garbage bin.
