Chapter 12: The Cry
Qin Ming knows a little about cats, but he doesn't know much.
Because the cats he could see when he was a child were all miscellaneous cats, or solid white cats and black cats, not like many people raised at home now, they are all the kind of aristocratic cats that only eat cat food.
Of course, according to the habits of cats, even cats that eat cat food should be able to eat fish.
And it should be raw and cooked.
He didn't think much about it for the time being, but planned to ask about the cat in detail:
"Where did that cat come from? Did she buy it at the pet store? ”
"It's not. She said she picked it up on her way home.
She said that the cat had been meowing and following her, so she bought some ham sausages for it to eat, but it still refused to leave after eating.
But she didn't think about getting it to the house at first, but for several days, the cat followed her.
So she came up with the idea of adopting.
After that, she went to the pet store and bought cat cages, and cat litter boxes and stuff like that.
But the cat refused to go into the cage and preferred to lie on the couch or in bed.
She was uncomfortable at first, but then she said that the cat was smart and more and more liking her, so it didn't matter.
The only thing she was a little uncomfortable with was that the cat was always staring at her.
When she told me at the time, I said that this is normal, because I also had a cat at home when I was a child, and cats' eyes are like that, when you stare at people, your pupils will change, as if you are thinking about something.
Maybe she heard me say that, so she didn't say it later. ”
But when she disappeared, the family's cat disappeared with her.
Did she tell you that she wanted to give the cat away or something? ”
"I didn't say that." Zhao Qianqian shook her head.
Zhao Qianqian knew so much about Hu Xiaoxiao, and then Qin Ming asked Zhao Qianqian about her recent situation, but Zhao Qianqian didn't encounter anything weird, not like she was being targeted by a sneaky person.
After they finished chatting, the bell for school at noon had already sounded, Qin Ming asked Zhao Qianqian to go back first, and left her a mobile phone number, telling her that if she remembered something, call him.
Seeing that Qin Ming and Zhao Qianqian came back after chatting, Xue Kai and several people hurriedly surrounded him:
"How? What's the catch? ”
"Well, got some clues. But let's hear what the other girl has to say. ”
Because Wang Yanhong hadn't talked about it, Qin Ming didn't want to say too much now.
After that, he found Wang Yanhong, who was going to eat in the cafeteria, to see if he could ask anything from Wang Yanhong.
Wang Yanhong was a girl who looked a little dark, and she was a little afraid that Qin Ming and the others would leave him in the class.
"Your homeroom teacher should have already told you, I just learned something about Hu Xiaoxiao from you.
She's your best friend, isn't she? ”
"Hmm." Wang Yanhong nodded with some trepidation.
"When was the last time you contacted her?"
"Do you mean to meet? Or is it on the phone? ”
"When did we meet, and when did we talk on the phone?"
"We met the day before she disappeared, when she came to school and we had a meal together in the cafeteria at noon.
The phone call was after 11 p.m. ”
"She was acting a little erratic that day, wasn't she?"
"It's a little bit. She always looks at herself in the mirror, but it doesn't look like she wants to look in the mirror, but she is a little uneasy, as if she is afraid of something. ”
"Did you ask her at the time?"
"Well, I asked, I asked her what was wrong with the day, why she seemed preoccupied, but she didn't answer me, just said something inexplicable, there was a cat staring at her.
I saw that she didn't want to say, so I didn't ask more. ”
"Is there anything unusual about her?"
"And then there'...... I think something is wrong with her eyes. ”
"Eyes?"
"Well, because I kept looking at her curiously while she was looking in the mirror, and in the process, I noticed that her pupils suddenly became very thin.
Anyway, it scared me at the time, because it was like a cat's pupils.
In fact, not only that day, but for three or four days in a row, I thought she was a little strange.
Because they always ask me if I hear a cat meow.
She also told me that someone in their class had secretly brought a cat into the class, and I said it couldn't be, and she was very sure that she had seen it.
I think she might be joking with me, because she sometimes tells some of these colder jokes. ”
"What did she call you that night?"
"Didn't say anything."
"Huh?"
"I just didn't speak, and I didn't have her voice on the phone."
When Wang Yanhong said this, the fear on her face suddenly became more intense than before.
Seeing that Wang Yanhong suddenly turned frightened, Qin Ming subconsciously asked:
"Whose voice is there?"
"Cat meow. Very harsh cat meow, it sounds like ...... Someone is using a knife to keep cutting the rubbing on the cat's body, as if they are abusing it.
It scared me and broke my heart to hear it.
I fed the phone for a while, but Xiaoxiao never spoke, only the cat meowed.
I was so good at hearing that I hung up.
After that, I sent her a WeChat message and asked her what was going on, but she didn't reply to me.
I wanted her to come to school the next day to ask about it, but she never came again. ”
Qin Ming was a little furious when he heard this, and he didn't know if she was already dead when Hu Xiaoxiao called Wang Yanhong.
No, maybe the person making this call is the murderer at all.
Qin Ming waited for Wang Yanhong to calm down for a while, and then asked again:
"Anything else?"
Wang Yanhong thought about it again, then shook her head and said:
"No, that's all I know."
After speaking, she cautiously asked Qin Ming:
"Xiaoxiao...... Was it taken away? ”
"It's hard to say. We'll do our best to find her, though.
After Hu Xiaoxiao's disappearance, have you encountered any strange things recently?
For example, do you hear any unusual noises, or do you see a cat? ”
"Nope." Wang Yanhong shook her head a little unsure of what Qin Ming meant.
Qin Ming then asked Wang Yanhong a few more words, but the other party, like Zhao Qianqian, did not have any experience that made them feel weird or frightened recently.
After ending the inquiry of Wang Yanhong, Qin Ming came out of the classroom with a solemn expression, seeing his expression, Yi Shaodong and Xue Kai all "sighed" in their hearts, which was obviously not a good phenomenon.
"What did the schoolgirl say? Doesn't she know anything? ”
Glancing at Yi Shaodong, Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"She knows a few things, and those things are useful for us to investigate this incident."
"Then why do you still have this expression?"
