Chapter 20: The Crime of Killing Cats
A quiet week passed quickly.
Although Angelyl worries about poppy every day, Oreo doesn't seem to care about it.
With Angelyl helping to deal with the affairs of the back three streets, Oreo was idle, he nestled in that chair every day, and his whole person seemed to become as stinky as the chair.
"Knock knock."
There was a crisp and quick knock at the door, and it seemed to be a big customer.
Oreo quickly sat up straight.
"Please come in."
With dignified steps, Mrs. Andorra slowly walked into the office.
It's surprising that this sloppy detective has cleaned up his kennel after a while.
"Ma'am."
Oreo frowned and said, "Your cat shouldn't have gotten lost again, right?" ”
"Yes."
Mrs. Andorra grieved, "My little liver has been lost again, and you must help me find it." ”
Angeliel obviously wanted to say something, but at the suggestion of Oreo's eyes, she waited beside Mrs. Andorra and said nothing.
Oreo smirked and stood up.
"Of course, ma'am, you will be able to see your little liver this afternoon."
"It's for the best."
Mrs. Andorra turned and glanced at Angelil, who she remembered seeing her.
"Is this your new maid, this little face is so pretty."
"Madame, this is my assistant."
Oreo explained that he sent Mrs. Andorra all the way to the carriage.
After returning to the office, Angelil thought that he would tell him to buy another cat, but he didn't expect Oreo's expression to become serious.
He grabbed the top hat from the hanger and whispered a command.
"Let's go together this time."
Although she didn't understand why, Angelyl nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, Mr. Oreo, I'll go and lock the door of the office."
"It's going to have to be locked."
After Angelyl locked the door, the two walked side by side toward Seventh Street, only this time at a much faster pace than usual.
For fear of angering Oreo, Angelelle asked cautiously.
"Mr. Oreo, why don't we buy a cat?"
Oreo waved his hand.
"It makes me sick to make this money, unless it's a last resort."
Although she agrees with Oreo's point of view, Angelyl still feels that today's Oreo is a little weird.
The two stood in front of Madame Andorra's house, and Oreo motioned to Angelil to ring the doorbell, and the doorman quickly walked out.
When he saw Oreo, he neatly pulled out a money bag from his back and warned Oreo.
"It's one thousand and ten gold coins, and it can't be more."
"I can't find a cat in such a short period of time."
Oreo shook his head, and instead of taking the bag of gold coins, he opened the gate of the courtyard.
The doorman stopped in front of Oreo and said through gritted teeth.
"It's not a good thing to be too greedy."
Oreo glanced at him, his eyes sharp.
"Mrs. Andorra has entrusted me with the task of finding a cat for her, and now I suspect that the cat is in this yard. So Mr. Doorman, what right do you have to stop me? ”
"What did you say?"
The doorman said in alarm, "How could that cat be in the yard?" ”
"So I said it's just possible."
Oreo unceremoniously pushed his hand away and strode into the courtyard.
Behind him, there was a threatening voice from the doorman.
"I'm going to tell Mrs. Andorra that this commission must be cancelled!"
Oreo didn't look back.
"You have no right to speak to Mrs. Andorra herself on behalf of your master."
With that, he walked briskly to the west, which was the direction of the lawn.
In a few days, a wooden building had risen on the lawn, and it should be the tea room that Viscount Borg had mentioned.
It's just that this tea room is a bit bigger.
Pulling the main entrance of the tea room open, Oreo walked briskly inside.
The building has been built, but the interior is still unrenovated, and the floor is covered with debris and dust.
Oreo didn't have time to think about that, so he walked around the four tearooms before stopping at one of the walls and being silent for a long time.
"Mr. Oreo......"
Angelil was about to say something, but the door to the tearoom was pushed open, and Mrs. Andorra entered in a menacing manner.
"You untouchables of the back three streets! Get out of my yard! ”
"Mrs. Andorra."
Pulling out his cane, Oreo pointed to Mrs. Andorra's head.
Sensing a threat from the black cane, Mrs. Andorra quickly stopped and spoke in horror.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course I do."
Oreo twisted his neck, "I'm looking for your little friend, Lady Andorra. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Andorra spoke hysterically.
"So what exactly are you doing here?"
"Didn't I say that?"
Oreo turned his gun and pointed at the wall behind him, saying word by word.
"Mrs. Andorra, I'm looking for your little heart...... I think I've found it, and you're buried behind this wall. ”
"You...... You ......"
Mrs. Andorra apparently wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
Seeing this, the loyal doorman rushed forward quickly, vaguely knowing what Oreo represented with the cane raised, but he still rushed forward bravely.
But before the brave doorman could take two steps before he tripped and fell to the ground, Angelyl grabbed his right arm and then put her knee against the back of his neck, immobilizing him.
"Mrs. Andorra."
Oreo whispered the name of Madame Andorra.
"It wasn't until yesterday that I remembered an imperial law, dating back to an adult's love for cats!
So Mrs. Andorra, you killed all the cats that were recovered! You've committed the crime of killing a cat! ”
"No!"
Mrs. Andorra's face was distorted, and she yelled in despair, "What the hell are you talking about!" ”
"You and I know it!"
Oreo tries to stop the crazy woman with his voice, but it clearly doesn't work.
He then pointed his cane at Mrs. Andorra's head and pulled the trigger.
"Bang"!
Mrs. Andorra finally closed her mouth, her eyes widened and she stared at the barrel of the gun in horror.
It was smoking, less than a centimeter from its own cheek.
Retracting his cane, Oreo said in a righteous voice.
"Mrs. Andorra, Tutan cannot pardon your crimes, but if you answer me honestly, I guarantee that the outcome of this trial will only be known to you and me."
It took a while for Mrs. Andorra to understand what Oreo meant, and she gasped.
"What...... What a problem. ”
Pausing with his cane, he motioned for Mrs. Andorra to concentrate.
After that, Oreo said.
"In the circle of the aristocracy, what the hell does a person like Borg do!"
Mrs. Andorra subconsciously glanced at the wall before speaking.
"He's an architect, an architect who specializes in designing secret rooms!"
It wasn't until here that Angelyl understood why Oreo was doing this, it turned out that he was trying to force the question in the first place!
But how did he know that this had something to do with Borg?
You know, before he came here, he had never seen Mrs. Andorra's tea room at all!
"Good."
Oreo nodded, tucked his cane back into his waist, and spoke hurriedly.
"Madame Andorra, you have committed the crime of killing cats, and in the name of Tutan, I am here to judge you.
For the rest of your life, you are not allowed to keep any pets in any way, directly or indirectly, and not a single cat is allowed to break into your yard, do you understand? ”
After this, Mrs. Andorra burst into tears, and she choked up.
"How much does it cost..... You're going to keep this secret for me......"
"I think you understand."
Oreo buckled his top hat and strode out of the tea room.
After walking out of the courtyard, Angelyl felt that the atmosphere was a little lighter, and she asked suspiciously.
"Mr. Oreo, isn't the consequence of committing the crime of killing cats that you can't keep pets, why is Mrs. Andorra so sad?"
"Who knows,"
Oreo tugged at the corners of his mouth, a sarcastic look on his face.
"Maybe she really likes cats, too."
