Chapter 142: When the Black Cat Comes to Scratch the Door
After drinking a small glass of milk, Zheng Si also felt a lot warmer on his body. Shaking his hair, he stretched and looked out at the balcony.
The rain had stopped, and in its place there were patches of white snow, and the ground would soon turn white.
When the man saw that the cup was empty, he squatted down and picked it up and went into the house. After taking two steps, he turned around and poked his head out and said to the black cat squatting in the corner, "Come in, it's cold outside." ”
Zheng Si hesitated, should he go in to avoid the wind? The wind outside seemed to be blowing harder......
Zheng sighed and didn't react for a while.
When the man saw this, he thought that the cat in front of him did not understand, and stood at the door and beckoned, pointing to the cup of milk, and perhaps realizing that his actions were ineffective, the man entered the house, but the door to the balcony was not closed.
The vast majority of Chuhua City is unheated, and people are accustomed to using air conditioners and some other heating equipment.
The air conditioner in the house was on, and Zheng Si walked to the door, obviously feeling the warm air coming out of the room. Compared to the outside, the house was too warm, Zheng sighed at the snowy sky outside, or raised his feet and walked into the house.
Inside, the man had taken off his coat and stood in front of the microwave, continuing to warm a glass of milk. When the milk was warmed and ready to be brought to the balcony, I found that the black cat squatting on the balcony had already entered the house, and was looking curiously at the furnishings in the house.
After a cursory sweep of the room, Zheng Si felt that this person should be a cultural person, there was a bookshelf in the room, most of the bookshelves were English books, and they covered a wide range of topics, from literature, history and geography, to industry, agriculture and medicine. Such a person should not be a threat.
The man placed the warm milk in front of Zheng Si. This time, instead of staring at Zheng Si and drinking milk, he walked to the table next to him and sat down, turned on the computer, found the file, and started working.
Zheng Si drank milk while observing the man. Although he couldn't see the things on the desk clearly from his point of view, Zheng Si could also see that the person should be engaged in translation, helping people translate some books and articles, and so on. As for whether this translation is his main business or a side job, Zheng Si doesn't know.
There are three rooms in the house, and only one is open. It's the room where Zheng Si stayed. The doors of the other two rooms were closed, and I don't know if anyone was occupied. There is a drawing board more than one meter long in the room, and there are many small notes and sticky notes pasted on the drawing board, and Zheng Si can't read any of the things written on it.
Could it be cursive in English? But English cursive isn't like that, is it? It doesn't matter if it's English or not. Is it cursive in English. I can't understand it anyway.
The door to the balcony of the room was not closed. A gust of cold wind blew in, and Zheng Si shivered again.
The man also felt the cold wind blowing in from outside, and got up to close the door. When he closed it, he also glanced at Zheng Si, as if he was sure whether the cat would lose his temper after closing the door.
Zheng Si didn't lose his temper, but jumped on the desk.
The desk is next to the window, and in front of the window there is a book spread out there, and there are some bookmarks in the book, and there are many notes on the page, etc. Zheng Si didn't squat on it, this look is the book that the owner needs to use, and it is better to settle it in other people's homes.
Since he couldn't squat directly in front of the window to look, Zheng Si squatted next to the thick book and tilted his neck to look out of the window. Just wait for when the snow stops and go home, you can't stay outside like this all the time, and if you can't go back in time for dinner, Jiao's mother has to nag again.
There is a fragrance of plum blossoms in the room, and the man's teacup is also a plum, I don't know if these plums used to make tea are picked from the plum trees in the community.
After translating the planned task, the man moved his arm, twisted his neck, looked at Zheng Si's side, and after seeing the black cat with crooked neck and eyes looking out of the window without blinking, he smiled, took out paper and pen from the drawer, and drew a simple picture, from which it can be seen that this person should have learned sketching, and his painting skills are good.
After the painting was finished, the man also gave Zheng Si a look, Zheng Si was not interested, glanced at the painting and continued to stare out the window. He calculated the time, and in another hour it would be Yuzu's time to get out of school, and he would stay here for half an hour at most, and after half an hour, no matter whether there was snow outside or not, whether the snow was heavy or not, he had to leave.
Luckily, half an hour later, the snow was much lighter, and although it was still drifting, it was not as fierce as it was just now, so it would be fine.
Zheng sighed and moved his neck, stretched his waist, and maintained the posture of crooked neck for too long, which was a little sore. After jumping off the desk, Zheng Si stood in front of the door, raised his paw and tapped the door, and then looked at the man.
The man paid attention to Zheng Si when he jumped off the desk, and when he saw Zheng Si like this, he smiled slightly, "Want to go?" ”
With that, the man opened the door and let Zheng sigh out.
Zheng Si himself can also open the door, but in front of a person who has only met once, Zheng Si doesn't want to be too special.
Moreover, Zheng Si felt that the person should be very fond of laughing, but he always felt that the person's smile was a little unhappy, and he couldn't say why, just intuition.
opened the door for Zheng Si, and the man watched Zheng Si squeeze out of the balcony anti-theft net, and when he jumped on the ground, he saw a footprint on the shallow layer of the ground. After seeing the black cat walk away, he went into the house and closed the door.
Leaving the community, Zheng Si ran in the direction of Chuhua University, the snow on the ground was a little cold, and the people around him didn't care about the black cat running on the sidewalk, and their attention was on the snow that had been piled up in a thin layer.
When Zheng Si passed by an intersection, he stopped because there were many vehicles, and he happened to notice two police cars driving towards the street where he came. But there was no time to be curious, and when he could cross the street, he hurried to the other side of the road with the other pedestrians.
As soon as Zheng Si arrived at the entrance of the attached school, the school bell rang.
Fortunately, there was no delay.
At this time, the snow began to fall heavily again.
During this time, whether it was Xiaoyuzi or Jiao Yuan, because Jiao's father was about to go abroad, his emotions were not too high, and he was not very excited about the snow. The other children who came out of the attached primary school were very excited to see this thin layer of white on the ground, but there were many people and the snow was thin, and they couldn't see the white when they stepped on it, only the snow mixed with the mud and sand on the ground.
The snow fell for two days, and as soon as the weather cleared, the snow soon began to melt. The weather forecast says that there will be no rain or snow in the next few days, and the temperature will gradually rise. Zheng Si waited for the snow to melt almost when it was almost there, and then ran out for a walk.
is still walking along the road of Jiaoyuan School, and Zheng Si is now in the process of understanding the section there. Just like the day of the snow, from Jiaoyuan School, to Zhong Yan's community, to the construction site, and then to the construction site, walk a little farther and get acquainted with the area.
Before I knew it, I came to the elevator room community again.
When Zheng Si walked into the community, a few aunts happened to come back with daily necessities bought from the supermarket, and listened to them say:
"Hey, has the case come to a conclusion?"
"I don't think so, I haven't heard of any progress."
"Hey, didn't you say that you committed suicide by throwing yourself into the river? Isn't it suicide? ”
"How could it be, it's such a cold day, and I heard from a nephew who works around there that the man was found unclothed, even if he wanted to kill himself."
At this time, another aunt walked in from outside the community, who should know these people, and when she saw the person here, she walked up two steps and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
"What's more, just the day it snows, what's going on the other side of the lake."
……
Zheng Si listened to their conversation and remembered that when he was rushing back on the day of the snowfall, the two police cars he saw at the intersection should be related to what these aunts said. However, Zheng Si felt that those things were too far away from him, and they had nothing to do with it, this kind of case happened every day in this world, so why bother with so much leisure, and besides, he was not like those aunts who were idle and had nothing to do.
Zheng Si decided to go to the house of the person who drank the plum blossom tea first, and maybe he could mix it with another glass of warm milk to drink.
When he came downstairs last time, he looked up and looked up, Zheng Si could see that the light was on in the man's house, and the man should be busy with work at this time, right?
Jumping on top of the parking space, Zheng Si squeezed into the balcony and saw the difference between the balcony and the first time he came a few days ago.
The cardboard box was still there, but in the corner, there was a fairly clean cushion, and next to the cushion was a paper cup, and the cup contained the already cold milk.
The cushion and milk were not there when I came last time, Zheng Si sniffed the milk in the paper cup, there was no strange smell, and it was estimated that the weather was not easy to smell weird, Zheng Si couldn't guess that this cup of cow had been put in trouble for a few days.
Looking at this decoration, people who don't know will definitely think that the owner has a pet.
Zheng Si was not in a hurry to scratch the door, he first sniffed around the balcony to see if there was any smell of other animals, and made mental preparations in advance. If so, consider whether to scratch the door, especially if the other party has a dog, it is better not to make a fuss.
Many people think that dog noses are much more sensitive than cat noses, otherwise why are there so many police dogs and drug detection dogs and no police cats and drug cats? Others believe that the cat's nose is comparable to the dog's nose, but because of the cat's character, it is not easy to train, and it is unwilling to be manipulated by others, and many functions in its body are only fully exerted when it is beneficial to itself, and many of the instructions of people are dismissive, because of this, people can only use the dog's olfactory function more often than not.
Zheng Si didn't know whether the dog nose was sensitive or the cat nose was sensitive, at least he thought that his sense of smell was quite good now, at least much more sensitive than when he was a human.
After sniffing carefully, Zheng Si confirmed that just like last time, in addition to the smell of the house owner, there was only the smell left by the last time he was bored rubbing the cardboard box in the corner of the wall here. I don't even smell like a girl, and that person is really home and lonely.
Zheng Si walked to the door of the room, raised his paw and patted the door, and was wondering whether to scratch it twice, when he heard footsteps approaching inside, and the next moment, the door also opened.
Seeing the black cat at the door, a smile flashed in the man's originally emotionless eyes, "It's here." (To be continued.) )
