Next to the police car.

After Brother Song used the walkie-talkie to report the situation back to the team, Qi Yuan looked up at the pet store signboard not far away, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Nervous?" Brother Song hung the walkie-talkie back to the car, and said with a chuckle: "It's like this for the first time, just endure it, and after doing more, you will get used to it." ”

Qi Yuan: ......

"I suspect you're driving," he muttered, "Brother Song, you did it on purpose, right?" ”

Brother Song snorted, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, followed by a hard push in the back of his heart, and said, "Let's go, don't waste time." ”

Qi Yuan staggered and took two steps forward. After standing firmly, he turned his head, looked at Brother Song helplessly, smiled bitterly, and secretly cheered himself up, and then strode towards the pet store.

Quickly walking into the store, he quickly glanced at his surroundings.

Immediately, a girl ran over and asked, "Handsome guy, do you want to see something?" ”

Qi Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, took out his temporary documents, and identified himself: "Hello, I am ...... of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"Uh, police?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "Wait, I'll let the boss come and talk to you." ”

Then, she turned her head and shouted loudly into the room: "Boss, come out boss, there are policemen coming." ”

Seeing this, Qi Yuan took back his documents and glanced at Brother Song, but he didn't react, just looked left and right.

There was no way, so he had to take a quick look at the store environment.

This store doesn't actually sell pets, it's more accurate to say that it's a pet supply store than a pet store.

The store is quite large, full of all kinds of pet supplies, leashes, takeaway bags, flight cases, staple food, snacks, canned food, toys and so on.

There is also a huge price list posted on the wall, which mainly indicates the prices of various vaccines and deworming drugs, as well as the charging standards for bathing, beauty, foster care, sterilization surgery, etc.

Deeper, there are several small compartments separated by glass, and there are rows of cages, most of them empty, and a small number of cats and dogs, and a few signs with the names of pets hanging outside the cages.

There are also a few special cages with many kittens and puppies in them, and signs are also hung on the outside of the cages, but the sign says "adoption".

It's a long story, but it's just a glimpse, and then the girl turned around, showed a smile, and said, "Officer, you're here to ask about yesterday's case, right?" Is that really dead? ”

Qi Yuan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, there is a murder case, the specific details are still under investigation, and we are also here for this matter." Excuse me......"

"Don't don't, don't ask me, I don't know anything." The girl waved her hand again and again: "I have heard some nonsense rumors, but I don't know if it's true or not, so I don't dare to say it."

Our boss is coming soon, you can ask him, he was watching from outside last night, he should know something. However, he is currently spaying and neutering a cat, and may have to wait a little longer. ”

She didn't look very nervous, and she wasn't as guarded as the people in the hot pot restaurant just now.

may be because she is used to seeing all kinds of people on weekdays, and she inevitably has all kinds of dealings, so she is not restrained at all even in the face of the police, and she is a little more generous than Qi Yuan.

"Uh, no," Qi Yuan immediately said, "What we are asking about is not the situation at the scene, nor is it to understand the victim's ......"

"Oh?" The girl was a little curious.

Qi Yuan waved his hand: "Forget it, let me ask this, did you stay in the pet store all day yesterday?" ”

"Yes." She nodded: "We work from 9 to 9, and I have been there all the time, looking at the store, I can't walk around, and I order takeout for dinner." ”

"So, did you hear anything yesterday morning?"

"Movement?" She asked rhetorically, and then nodded firmly: "Yes." ”

Qi Yuan suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What movement?" ”

"I can't tell, it's weird anyway. Well, just around ten o'clock and eleven o'clock. She tilted her head slightly, and after thinking about it seriously, she shook her head again and said:

"I can't remember the specifics, I just remember that the voice was not loud, and I don't know how to describe it. At that time, someone happened to come to the door to adopt a pet, so I took care of it. ”

"That's ......" Qi Yuan was a little regretful, the movement that the girl heard was probably the sound made by the murderer when he committed the crime.

Unfortunately, with the door blocked, the distraction of other noisy sounds, and the fact that the girl was distracted by something else, there was no way to provide a complete and valuable clue.

He rolled his eyes quickly, thinking quickly about what other questions he could ask this girl before the boss came down.

Since she's been in the store during work hours, she may be able to inadvertently notice some important clues.

Intuition also told him that from the girl, there should be something to gain.

Of course, whether it's intuition or delusion, no one knows. After all, it was the first case he officially participated in the investigation, and it was related to his classmates, so it was normal for him to be nervous and expectant, a little allergic, and even a little "rumored that the grass and trees were soldiers".

But after all, he was inexperienced, and he couldn't think of anything else to ask for a while, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, worried that falling into silence would lead to an awkward atmosphere.

Suddenly, he had an idea, thinking of what Brother Song had just done, and couldn't help but have an idea, and decided to think about it while chatting with the girl about some side things.

He asked, "Are you still doing pet adoption?" ”

"That's right." The girl bowed, then looked back at the pets to be adopted, sighed lightly, and said: "Too many people are hot for three minutes, and within a few days of buying cats and dogs, they are annoying, or if they are sick, they will be lost."

Some of them were thrown directly on the street, and some of them were okay and put them in front of our store. Anyway, when the store opens in the morning, I can often see a cardboard box at the door, and there are some puppies in it, so I take it back to the store, and then post a message asking for adoption on Moments and Weibo.

From time to time, I will also pick up some kittens and puppies that do not have the ability to survive independently at all, and they are the same, holding the clockwork in the store to adopt information. Those who are sick have no choice but to cure their illness and then find someone to adopt. From this point of view, our boss is really a good person.

In addition, whether it is a cat or a dog, if you don't do neutering, the reproductive ability is too strong, many guests have pets at home I don't know how many fetuses, and it is not good to send them out, and they will also bring them to our store, please help us find a good owner for these little cuties......

Na, if you want, you can also adopt them, without any conditions, you can guarantee that they will be good, and you will not abandon them from the beginning. ”

"Abandon ...... from the beginning to the end" The corner of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched slightly: "This description is quite ...... Apt ......"
