The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are fewer and fewer cats on the street during the day, and most cats may not be able to withstand the heat, so they choose to come out at night.

I sometimes suddenly forget that the butterfly has passed away, and I still look for the butterfly nearby.

The Fourth of May, a rare day off. I wanted to get a good night's sleep, but when I got up and looked at my phone, it was just half past seven. I covered the quilt with a stupid face, and I couldn't sleep after turning it over and over. After a while I'm sure I'm sleepy. It's not a good idea to wake up early on the holidays, so I get up and turn on my computer to play a few games. It's not boring to live a life like this when you were a student.

After less than two hours of playing, my stomach started to bark, and it was obvious that I was hungry. I opened the fridge to see what snacks I could put on my stomach, but there was nothing left in my fridge except for the uncooked vegetables and meat that I bought. At the thought of having to cook on vacation, I spread out on the couch. After repeated ideological struggles, I decided to go downstairs to the convenience store to buy a bento.

The convenience store downstairs is just turning left on my neighborhood, and most of the vegetables and meat in my house are bought at his house.

I pushed open the glass door on the right side of the convenience store, and the wind chimes on the glass door rang nicely.

"Want to buy something?" A young female clerk in her early twenties said.

I didn't respond to her question and walked straight to the bento area. "Barbecue bento, fifteen yuan." I silently picked up the price in my mind and prepared to pay. The female clerk sat at the cash register playing with her phone, and I slowly walked to the cash register without her looking up. Maybe she called me, and I didn't respond, and I was a little upset.

"How much, please?" I said softly.

"There's a price on it, just sweep here." The female clerk continued to play with her phone.

I wasn't angry, I felt like I didn't respect her from the moment I came in, and she deserved to do that to me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't respond to your words when I entered the house, I remember that there was a middle-aged man here every time, and we would only say a few words when we were making payments."

Finally, my words made the female clerk raise her head, "Oh, I see, that's my father, let him rest today, I'll be on duty during my college vacation." ”

"Wow, I see." I paid the money, said a good business, and left.

As soon as I walked out of the door of the convenience store, I saw a cat lying on my stomach in front of the convenience store. At first glance it looks very clean, not like the stray cats I usually see. I was in a hurry when I came and didn't notice it. I stepped forward and took a closer look, and it looked like a butterfly. A few differences are also differences in body size and cleanliness. The pattern is also very peculiar, and although it is not as strange as a butterfly, it also looks like a butterfly wing. I turned back to the store.

"May I ask the cat at the door......" I asked tentatively.

After hearing this, the female clerk stretched out her head and looked out the door, "That one, I raised it, it's a holiday, and the university dormitory can't put cats, so I'll bring it back." The female clerk explained.

"What breed is this cat?"

"Tabby cats, very common. What are you asking for? The female clerk put down her phone and asked.

"Ah, there are a lot of stray cats around here, and I thought they were beautiful, but I didn't know the name. So I asked. After I finished speaking, the female clerk did not continue to talk, and I left the convenience store.

"It turns out that this kind of cat is called tabby cat, and it's ridiculous that I actually see tabby as a butterfly pattern." I muttered to myself.

When I got home and finished eating, I was already ready to play games, and I wanted to go downstairs to the convenience store to see the cat, so I got dressed and went downstairs.

The place where the cat was lying on its stomach is gone, maybe it's in the house, I thought as I pushed open the glass door of the convenience store, and the wind chimes tied to the glass door rang.

How I wished that the clerk would tell me what you were going to buy, and I just had to answer and tell her I wanted to see the cat, but this time I saw the middle-aged guy sitting at the cash register. He was clearly the owner of this convenience store. I went over with my head.

"Excuse me......" I asked, slurring.

"It turned out to be Officer Wang, what did you buy today?" The convenience store owner asked politely.

I've worn a police uniform a few times before to enter this convenience store, and maybe they knew I was a police officer at that time.

"Today I don't want to buy something, I want to ......"

"Let's take a confession, come on, there must be some bad guy from my little convenience store." The convenience store owner said bluntly.

"No, I was asking where your cat is? Don't get me wrong, I just think it's cute, and I'm going to buy one too, so let's see what it looks like and what it looks like. "I tried to weave my words.

"Oh, that's right, unfortunately, I just came down to work with my daughter, and she went upstairs with the cat."

"That's right, then I'll come back someday." I said a little unwillingly.

"No, my daughter should be on duty today, but I wasn't too relieved that she was in the store, so I decided to come in the afternoon when there was the most traffic. Then come back in the evening, when she should be there. The convenience store owner said as he sorted out the shelves around him.

When I got home, I searched the internet for a lot of photos and information about tabby cats. It turns out that this kind of cat is a very common one, because the pattern is very similar to the pattern of a tiger, so it is called a tabby cat. But the older generation also often calls it a butterfly cat. I felt some comfort in my heart when I saw this.

In the evening, I took a bite at home and went to the convenience store downstairs, the cat was still not there at the door, and I pushed open the glass door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a lot of goods in the door on the right, and the cat was lying on it.

"You're here to see the cat."

I turned my head and saw the female clerk in her early twenties sitting there.

"Yes, I'm sorry for you, I also want to raise one, I want to come and see."

As I spoke, the clerk walked over to the pile of goods and picked up the cat from above.

"What about this kind of cat, generally speaking, it is okay to eat cat food, but it would be better if you could feed it some animal offal, cats are a bit wild after all."

I nodded as I listened, and I didn't know if I really wanted to buy a cat. When I thought that I was busy with work and had no intention of taking care of it, my enthusiasm for buying a cat decreased a lot.

"It's almost seven o'clock now, I think you'd better go to the market tomorrow to buy a cat." The female clerk kindly reminded.

I looked at my watch, I didn't expect to talk for so long. "I'm sorry to delay you for so long." After that, I bought some snacks and left.

The next morning, when I was ready to go to work, I was going to the convenience store to buy some bento, but by this time I had forgotten all about buying a cat. Before I could enter the convenience store, the female clerk at the door waved at me. I felt inexplicable, I walked in and saw the female clerk drooping her face as if she was a little angry, I don't know who had angered her so early in the morning, I think it was probably another customer who ignored her.

"Where's my cat? Where did you take it? The female clerk said very angrily.

"You ask me what I'm doing, I'm here to buy something." After saying that, I ignored her and pushed open the glass door, and the wind chimes rang again.

The female clerk was in hot pursuit with me, asking me where my cat was. I was so helpless that I walked to the cashier counter and saw the boss sitting there silently.

"Boss, look at your daughter, she keeps asking me what about the cat, how do I know where the cat is?" I don't know why I complained to my boss, maybe I thought I knew him better.

"You must have stolen my cat, you should hand it over quickly."

The female clerk took my arm, and I realized that the cat that looked like a butterfly was lost. "Is that cat lost?"

"Are you still catching thieves here?" The female clerk asked.

I looked at the boss helplessly, and the boss finally spoke. "Our cat, I lost it last night, no one has been here since then, the only one who has something to do with this cat is you, now I can only doubt you, please forgive me."

"Maybe it's just that I'm lost? I'll help you find it. "I know no one will believe me when I say that, but I want to explain.

"Our cat won't leave without permission, you'd better find it for me." The female clerk muttered quietly.

I pointed to my watch with both fingers and said I was going to be late for work.

"The Criminal Police Brigade of the Shangzhou City Public Security Bureau, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time." I opened the door and walked out. The wind chimes sounded behind me as if I were playing a song.

I felt very angry, and when I returned to the unit, I kept thinking about the scene of yesterday, hoping to think of the slightest clue to prove my innocence. But as the clerk said, I really have no proof that I didn't steal the cat.

The captain seemed to realize that I was sullen.

"What are you doing there in a daze? Here's the material from last week's arson case that you sent to the prosecutor's office. With that, the captain threw a thick stack of papers in front of me.

I lifted my butt, it was the first time I had left my seat today. "Don't you take a look at this material, and a colleague from the procuratorate will ask you how you answer." The captain commanded.

I looked at the material, and the case was a case of a family of three who were burned to death in their home last week, and the murderer was a neighbor of the deceased. The deceased's family lived in a bungalow with the door open on both sides, and the deceased's family had been accustomed to opening the door on the right side if they were not driving back. The murderer took advantage of this, and after setting the fire, he blocked the door on the right side from the outside, and the door on the left side was also locked from the outside, so it formed an inescapable scene. A family of three was burned alive by the male fire.

"It's pathetic." I whispered.

I came to the door of the prosecutor's office and waited for my colleague to stand at the door.

"Can the murderer's modus operandi be determined?" A colleague from the prosecutor's office asked.

"Yes, it's to block the right side of the gate from the outside, and the left side of the gate was locked before." I said this as if something had come to mind, and a very incredible thought passed through my mind. I immediately said goodbye to my colleagues from the prosecutor's office.

Back in the office my unhappiness was swept away, and soon I was off work, and I had been organizing my language on the way home, which was the best time to show my reasoning skills.

I pushed open the door of the convenience store, and the wind chimes rang.

"Did you find my cat?" The female clerk said immediately when she saw me.

"Is your father here, I hope you are all here, and I will explain to you what happened yesterday." I looked at my watch and showed that my time was important.

The clerk called her father, who came down a short time later.

"Very well, I'm going to start my reasoning, first of all, let me ask you, can you be sure that no one is coming in this room after I'm gone?" I said, staring at the female clerk.

"There was no one after seven o'clock, I stayed in the lounge of the back room, the wind chimes would ring when we had guests in the house, and I didn't hear anything after you left." The female clerk explained.

"It's true that every time I come to this convenience store, I hear the wind chimes installed on the door, but have you ever thought of a way to keep this wind chimes from ringing?"

"I don't know, I hope you can teach me!" The female clerk said with some sarcasm.

"You see the place where the wind chimes are installed, it's on the right side of the gate, and each of us is used to opening the door with the right hand, so most of them open on the right side. But have you ever thought that if you open the door on the left, it will ring? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the convenience store owner unlocked the left door from the outside.

The boss pushed open the glass door of the convenience store and walked in.

"You see, it's not ringing." I said with some pride.

"I've always used the door on the right, I've never used the door on the left, who opened it?" The convenience store owner was a little confused

I pointed at her daughter, "It's your daughter, your daughter is probably the reason for the lack of work experience, when someone comes to deliver the goods, she naturally opens both doors, the boss you will let you move to the designated location every time, but your daughter, the new female clerk, doesn't know, she probably said whatever, those porters just put it in the right door, after they left, your daughter didn't lock the door on the left, that's because the right side has been blocked, so everyone will choose to take the left door." , the wind chimes will not ring, and the murderer took advantage of this to quietly take the cat away, but it may not have escaped on its own. It's a blessing that your family didn't lose anything. I took a bottle of water from the nearby shelf and opened it and took a sip, "Don't worry, I'll pay." ”

"Why are you so careless." The boss was scolding her daughter, the new female clerk.

"I'll help you find the cat, because I care where the hell that cat went?" I had a bold idea in my head, but I didn't want to believe it. After paying, I pushed open the door of the convenience store.

Wind chimes ringing behind me......
