Chapter 45: A Thief?
Zheng Si took it to Xiao Zhuo before he came out after dinner, and Xiao Zhuo sent Zheng Si out of the West District compound and watched him walk away.
After leaving the West District compound, Zheng Si did not go back immediately, but went to the side of the woods.
Because the woods on the edge of the Zhilu Road campus are under construction for generations, there are not many students walking this way, and even fewer at night.
Zheng Si jumped through the trees and came to a big tree and squatted.
Breathe deeply.
"Whew-"
It doesn't seem right.
"Wow-"
It doesn't seem right.
Zheng Si carefully recalled the barking of the big white cat at that time, and roared again.
"Whoa—"
Still not right!
After trying several times, Zheng Si analyzed the reasons. Maybe because I have been avoiding barking like a cat before, I have become accustomed to howling at will, and now I suddenly have to learn the sound of other cats, and I can't change it for a while. Zheng Si didn't want to be the same as the big white cat, he just had to be suspicious, but now the sound he screamed out was simply a ghost crying!
Well?
Ghost crying?
Zheng Si narrowed his eyes.
After turning into a cat, Zheng Si likes to squint, and he doesn't realize this problem yet. The tip of his tail flicked, pondering some thoughts.
Just thinking about it, a rush of footsteps came, and Zheng Si didn't need to look to know that Lu Dao was the black back raised by the doorman. The sound of the soles of the feet kicking the dead leaves when running is especially noticeable in such a silent environment.
The blackback hurried over, sniffing around, then circled around a tree twice, lifted one back, and peed on the tree. After sprinkling, I excitedly shaved the soles of my feet. After sniffing around the neighborhood again, it waited for the whistle on the side door to blow before it ran back twice.
Zheng Si looked at the tree with dog urine, he found two days ago that there was always a smell of urine on this tree, and the black back came to pee every time the wind was released. At the same time, Zheng Si also thought of the tattooed man, who also likes to pee in a fixed place, which Zheng Si found when he was squatting near the tattooed man's house, and it was because of the habit of the tattooed man that Zheng Si had an idea.
Originally, Zheng Si only planned to teach that person a lesson by force, but after thinking about it, if it was just physical damage, it seemed that it was still too cheap for that person, and it was estimated that that person would not link this kind of lesson to those dead little milk cats. I don't know if the man will do something similar to the other cats in the future. So, Zheng Si decided to try another way.
Since we have decided to change the original strategy, it means that things cannot be done in one day, and if we can't do it one day, we will do it day by day.
So there was Zheng Si's successive preparations during this time. Moreover, the tattooed man doesn't seem to be going well lately, and he is very taboo about some red sticky things.
Zheng Si will come to the woods here to practice his voice in the past two days, since he can't hold back the sound similar to the big white cat, then just howl, maybe the lethality will be greater.
Zheng Si practiced for a while to speak, and looked at the sky, it was completely dark.
Walking out of the woods, Zheng Si came to a remote corner near the school gate near the alley of the old building area, where there were a few old pine trees with luxuriant branches, and Zheng Si hid some of the things he had collected one after another, wrapped them in the black plastic bag. In that corner, the chance of things being found is very small, even if they are found, Zheng Si is not afraid, who would have thought that those things were made by a cat?
Carefully open the bag.
At the beginning, due to the unskilled use of the claws, the claws always hooked the plastic bag, and after a few times, they became more familiar. After all, inside the body of this cat is the soul of an adult, so it is impossible to open the bag and tie the bag.
There are four dolls in the bag, one slightly larger, patterned cat doll, and the other three are a little smaller, the length of an adult's palm, pure white, fluffy, and girls love this.
The four dolls were "taken" by Zheng Si from a warehouse on the second floor of a gift shop at the school gate at night.
In addition to the four toy cat dolls, there was a pack of cotton swabs, three packets of paper towels, some bags of different sizes for snacks, a few bags of ketchup the size of a condiment bag for fast food restaurants, and several bands of the kind that girls used to tie their hair. The rubber band is wider than the ordinary rubber band used by Jiao's father in their lab, and at the same time, it also ensures that Zheng Si will not be too loose or panicked if he puts it on his neck.
These are all "taken" by Zheng Si during this time, and in order not to let people find out, Zheng Si took a lot of effort.
There are pros and cons to acting as a cat. It's easy to sneak into someone's storefront, but it's not so easy to "take" something.
Zheng Si took out a black plastic bag, put the big fluffy toy cat into the bag, and put in a bag of ketchup, two cotton swabs, and a pack of tissues. Zheng Si packed up other things that could not be used for the time being, tied the bag, and put it in the old place on the tree, where the pine branches were dense, and it was difficult to see outside, and even if he saw it, no one would climb on top of the pine tree to rummage through the bag.
Put the things you want to use today in a bag and tie them up with a rubber band.
After looking at it, Zheng Si was sure that this place had been cleaned up and would not fall, so he bit the rubber band where the bag was tied and jumped off the tree with the bag. Passing through the courtyard fence near the alley of the old building area at the boundary of the campus, it rushed into the green flower beds with a swish, and quickly disappeared through the plants in the flower beds and the cover of the night. And the cars rushing around him, no one will notice the black shadows flashing here.
At this point, the alley of the old building area is much more deserted than the central department store, which is a completely different scene. Occasionally, there are dim street lamps, and many sections of the road are pitch black, and the general layout of the alleys can only be vaguely seen from the light from the surrounding houses, and the rest of the road is not clear at all.
Those who work night shifts or come home from work are fine on electric bikes, and those on foot or on bicycles will have flashlights to illuminate.
In such an environment, no one would have noticed a black cat squatting next to a dumpster in a corner.
Zheng Si estimated the time in his heart, according to what he learned some time ago, the tattooed man would leave home at nine o'clock in the evening most of the week and go to the club where he worked.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the voice of a tattooed man to be heard. There was another person with the tattooed man, and the two were talking.
"So, it's been a little more restrained recently, the wind is tight, Boss Ye is probably in conflict with our boss, brothers should pay attention, don't know when you will lack arms and legs." The man next to the tattooed man said.
"Hehe, they can't look down on our little minions." The tattooed man's voice sounded like he was laughing, but the laughter was reluctant.
"Anyway, let's just pretend to be dead when people put it together. Also, don't get into trouble, don't get caught in pigtails. ”
"I know that. Oh wait, I'm peeing, hehe! ”
As he spoke, the tattooed man took a few steps forward and turned a corner into a dead end, which was the place where the tattooed man went out or came back to pee. The dead end where Zheng Si was peeing was very close to the corner where Zheng Si was squatting, diagonally opposite, Zheng Si could see the situation over there from the garbage can.
When the two of them walked away, Zheng Si came out with the bag of things in his mouth and went to the tattooed man's house.
I entered through the broken window in the kitchen, and the room was the same as when Zheng Si first came over, as dirty as ever.
Without turning on the lights, Zheng Si could see the layout of the house through the light from the lights in other people's homes outside the window.
Remove the rubber band, untie the bag, tear open the ketchup, and spread it on the toy cat, and also smear some on the side of the toy cat's mouth. With a plastic bag on it, the ketchup won't drip outside.
Then, Zheng Si placed the toy cat smeared with ketchup next to the tattooed man's bedside.
It's just one of the things, holding the cotton swab in the bag and holding it in the palm of your hand. Compared with human fingers, the current cat palm is very inconvenient, for this Zheng Si will practice holding things with the palm of his hand when he is bored at home, and he will become proficient after practicing for a while.
Dipping the cotton swab in the remaining tomato sauce, Zheng Si smeared a red cat's paw on the wooden wardrobe not far from the bed. Zheng Si's painting work is limited, but isn't it just a few circles, as long as you can see that it is roughly a cat or a dog or something.
Because the position to be painted on the wooden wardrobe is a bit high for Zheng Si now, he dragged a stool, stepped on it, supported it with two hind legs, and stood up to make the height of the painting place more in line with the expected requirements.
After the painting was finished, Zheng Si threw the cotton swab into the plastic bag, jumped up and scratched a few claw marks in front of the painted cat's paw. Zheng Si's strength is great, and the claw marks scratched out are also deep.
After scratching, Zheng Si pushed the stool back to its place, pulled out a piece of paper from the small packet of tissues, and wiped some of the stains on the ground and his paws around him. Used tomato sauce packets, cotton swabs, paper, etc. are thrown into plastic bags.
After thinking about it, Zheng Si turned around as he was about to leave, and lifted the sheets under the pillow to take a look.
This is just Zheng Si's behavior on a whim, because when he was at Jiao's house, once Zheng Si saw Jiao Yuan hiding his pocket money under the bedside mattress and pressing it, so he had this behavior.
The result really surprised Zheng Si that the tattooed man actually had this habit. Do you want to count the money and sleep?
Zheng Si counted it, there were eight hundred, Zheng Si took one of the hundred, rolled it up and wrapped it in a tissue, and the remaining seven hundred were still put back in place for him.
After looking around and feeling that there was nothing to deal with anymore, Zheng Si wrapped the plastic bag containing the waste and tied it with a leather band a few times, and the paper towel wrapped in the money was also inserted in the leather band to fix it, and then left the tattooed man's house with it in his mouth.
After walking out of the alley, Zheng Si found a garbage can, pulled money out of the bundle, threw the plastic bag into the trash can, and then took the money to a gift shop, and turned it into the warehouse on the second floor with the help of some accessories from the outside. Remove the paper towel and throw the hundred pieces on the ground. As for the paper towels, they were casually thrown out of the window.
After doing it, Zheng Si easily returned to the Eastern District compound, put on the door control card, and entered the building.
In fact, Zheng Si also wanted to know the reaction of the tattooed man in Lu Dao, but unfortunately, the Jiao family had rested very early recently, and they all fell asleep at ten o'clock. Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi went to bed at half past nine. Zheng Si can't go back too late.
Zhilu said that Zheng Si ran out of the door to play every night, Jiao's mother didn't close the door, but just covered it up, when Zheng Si went back, she just pushed the door, and she didn't have to open the lock by herself, which saved a lot of trouble.
After returning home, Zheng Si took a bath in the warm water prepared by Jiao's mother, squatted on a stool and asked Jiao's mother to help dry his hair, and then went into the room to sleep.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the gift shop outside the school gate was ready to close, and the owner of the gift shop still went to the upstairs warehouse to take a turn before closing according to the usual rules to see if there were any less valuables.
When the owner of the gift shop came to the warehouse on the second floor of his house, he saw a hundred yuan on the ground, looked around, and did not hear any clerk say that the money was lost. After thinking about it, he squatted down and quickly picked up the money and put it in his pocket, without asking the person who carried the delivery and the clerk if they had lost the money. Casually glanced at the shelves in the warehouse to see if there were any large and valuable things missing, and the boss of other gadgets did not pay special attention.
Seeing that there was no shortage of valuables, the gift shop owner hummed a little tune and left, he was very happy that he had picked up a hundred yuan for nothing today.
And the boss didn't know that his warehouse had been patronized by a black cat many times, and he had taken away a few dolls in batches, and he might not know what else he would take away in the future, and this hundred yuan was just the comfort money given by the cat.
At about four o'clock in the morning the next day, the tattooed man came home with the smell of alcohol.
He is not a careful person, and he will not find some subtleties in his home, let alone find that his home is different from usual.
Yawning, the tattooed man kicked off his shoes, lay on the bed, and habitually took out the eight hundred dollars pressed by the mattress under the pillow and counted them. This was the "protection fee" he collected from the students who went to the stalls last time, and he deliberately left the relatively new 800 yuan to count under the mattress every day.
Eighty-eight big hair, just auspicious, this is a little habit of his.
is really as Zheng Si expected, this tattooed man likes to count money and sleep.
Eight hundred dollars, not eight thousand, can be counted in two clicks.
A hundred less?
The tattooed man frowned.
Licked his fingers, counted them again, slowly, carefully, one by one.
Or seven hundred.
That's not right!
The tattooed man spat on the ground irritably.
I didn't seem to have any money from it when I went out tonight.
Got a thief?
Who would dare to come here and steal something? Looking for death? The tattooed man considers himself the overlord of this generation. Besides, if there is a thief, he will not take only a hundred dollars.
The tattooed man was puzzled, and recalled from the beginning what he had done before going out today, but still had no memory of taking the money.
Scratching his head, the tattooed man lay down and turned over to continue his recollection, but when he turned over, he found a toy cat doll covered in "blood" next to him.
"Holy!"
The tattooed man was so frightened that he jumped up, not that he was making a fuss, but that the club was not very peaceful recently, a few days ago a watcher in the club was cut off his hand, and a few people were cut, which was very serious, and the bloody scene stimulated him at that time, this is not a cat, but a person, a real person! So now he can't help but get goosebumps when he sees this red, blood-like thing, and he doesn't order sweet and sour tenderloin when he orders food at the clubhouse lately.
After a few quick breaths, the tattooed man looked around, then his gaze rested on the wooden closet.
That red trace...... What is the drawing?
——————————————————————————————————————————
The "peasant tuning" mentioned in the previous chapter has many people asking what it is. Cat owners should know that their cats sometimes squat and retract their two front paws on their chests, and the arrows indicate that they are "→←" like this, looking just like the working people in the past winter like to hold their hands, and when they are in this posture, they can't see their feet~~~~ So many people feel particularly funny. Anyway, when I see my cat, I can't help but shove something into the paws......
