Chapter 39: Xie Tao and the White Cat
"Xiaojin, you come to drive, my stomach is ......" The three of them came downstairs, Lei Baoquan pointed to his stomach and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
Li Bai opened the back door and sat up, saying, "I have a stomachache and I have to take the initiative to ask to find Liu Wen, aren't you looking for trouble?" ”
Lei Baoquan rubbed his stomach and said, "What do you know?" Let's go look for it first, take advantage of the small number of people, we can ask some other questions, too many people will be troublesome. ”
As soon as the car moved, Li Bai's phone rang, and Li Bai saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and said suspiciously: "Who will call me?" ”
picked up the phone, and there was a somewhat familiar voice on the other side: "Is it Li Bai?" ”
"That's right, it's me, you're it?" Li Bai saw that the other party recognized him, and he was even more puzzled.
"I'm Xie Tao, I just went home, and suddenly remembered that the key was still with you, so I asked the people in the police station for your number." Said the other side.
"Oh, it's you, that's okay, I'll give it to you later, you wait." Li Bai hung up the phone after speaking.
"Who?" Lei Baoquan asked casually.
"Xie Tao, he said that he had just returned home, and he remembered that the key was with me, so let me send it over." Li Bai replied.
"He's home?"
"It should be."
Lei Baoquan thought for a while and said to Jin Guo: "Let's go to Xie Tao's house first, just ask him what happened to the white cat in person." ”
The three of them drove to the Hexi family courtyard, Xie Tao was pacing back and forth downstairs, and when he saw Li Bai coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Why don't you wait in the building on such a cold day?" Li Bai looked at Xie Tao's frozen red face and asked.
Xie Tao was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm embarrassed to stay in the corridor, I'm afraid that the neighbors will see ......."
The three of them were stunned, and Lei Baoquan said: "Since the police have said that you are fine, what are you afraid of?" ”
"After all, someone saw it when they took me away. Now the whole building must be known, and even if I am reasonable, I can't tell. Xie Tao sighed.
"Then you can go up quickly." Li Bai handed the key to Xie Tao and urged.
"Thank you for helping me feed the cats these days." Xie Tao said thank you, and turned around to leave.
"You wait." Lei Baoquan suddenly stopped him, "That...... What's the deal with the white cat in your house? ”
Xie Tao was stunned and looked at them in a daze. When Jin Guo saw it, he immediately understood what he meant, and quickly explained: "We didn't just enter your room. I heard a sound inside when I was feeding the cat, so I opened the door and looked at it, and it almost scared us to death, what kind of cat is that? ”
Xie Tao looked helpless and said, "Alas, I thought that you might see it, so you come up with me." ”
The three of them followed Xie Tao upstairs and came to the door of Xie Tao's house. Xie Tao looked cautious, as if he was afraid that his neighbors would hear about it. This made Lei Baoquan feel a little ashamed in their hearts.
opened the door, four people entered the house, the house was still the same as before, several kittens saw Xie Tao who had not seen each other for a few days, Xie Tao opened the window, helped them pour cat food, and called the others to the bedroom door.
"Don't rush to open the door, say yes first. When this cat sees you, will it pounce excitedly? Lei Baoquan asked nervously. The scene he experienced last time is still vivid, and Lei Baoquan is very scared in his heart.
"No, it usually doesn't bother to move unless it's provoked." After Xie Tao finished speaking, he opened the door.
The fat white cat was still lying on the edge of the bed with its eyes half-closed, like a shaggy cushion. I saw Xie Tao come back. I wasn't surprised, I just raised my head and screamed softly, and then buried my head in my arms and fell asleep.
"Sit down." After Xie Tao finished speaking, he sat on the bed and leaned against the white cat.
Lei Baoquan and the three of them looked around, except for the table. I don't even have a chair, where can I sit?
Seeing that the three of them were stunned, Xie Tao took the initiative and said, "You're welcome, just sit casually." ”
The three of them looked at each other, Lei Baoquan blinked his eyes, leaned on the edge of the table, and Jin Guo also leaned against him. Li Bai saw that the place was already occupied, and he was embarrassed for a while, so he simply went out and got a chair and came in. When he walked back to the bedroom door, Li Bai heard the sound of someone's door being knocked in the corridor, and he was glad that they had entered the door earlier, otherwise they would have been seen by the neighbors, and they probably thought that they had brought Xie Tao back to identify the scene.
"What the hell did you give it to eat? Will it grow so big? "Jin Guo has always had this question.
Xie Tao shook his head and said lonely: "It's not my reason, it's itself." I fed the same cat food, originally Xiaobai was the same size as the outside, and then I don't know why, slowly getting bigger and bigger, at first I didn't pay much attention, and then when they were playing together, I found that Xiaobai was already bigger than other cats. I took it for a check-up, and it was said that it had a disease, similar to the kind of fat-prone physique of people. ”
Li Bai listened for a while and interrupted: "That...... Don't always scream, it sounds a little awkward. ”
Lei Baoquan and Jin Guoyile, but Xie Tao didn't understand.
"You go on." Lei Baoquan gestured.
"Later, it was a little too big, and I found that as it grew in size, its temper also changed, it used to be very well-behaved and lively, but now it is very lazy, and it always gets angry, and when it is angry, it will attack others." Xie Tao was full of pity when he said it.
"Yes, yes, it's quite aggressive." Lei Baoquan immediately found a sense of identity.
"I've scratched my neighbor Xiao Gong before, but fortunately, he also likes cats, so I didn't care too much, otherwise I would be unlucky again if I was someone else." Xie Tao said.
"Xiao Gong?" Li Bai felt that this title seemed familiar.
"It's the one we looked for last time, ...... the door," Lei Baoquan reminded.
"Oh yes, it's that kid." Li Bai also thought about it, and took the initiative to report the situation to them that day.
"So, in order to prevent it from causing any more trouble, I kept it in the bedroom and didn't let it out." Xie Tao looked at the white cat sleeping on the side and said, "And it's like this, it's too lazy to go out now." ”
"You've never been out of the house, white cat?" Lei Baoquan asked.
"Nope." Xie Tao replied, "Never." ”
Lei Baoquan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I see that its claws are quite sharp and its nails are very long." ”
"Yes, its nails are very long, because every time I cut it, it doesn't want to, and I'm afraid that it will hurt me by mistake, so I didn't force it to cut it." Xie Tao said.
Lei Baoquan glanced at the other two and continued, "I think you should know how the wounds on the bodies of the three people who died were caused, right?" ”
Xie Tao nodded and said, "Comrade police have told me, saying that it is very likely that it was scratched by a cat, but it is absolutely impossible to be my cat!" ”
"Why are you in such a hurry to deny it? We don't depend on you. Jin Guo thought it was funny.
"Because you all the time think that I have cats in my house, and the deaths of those people have something to do with cats, you will definitely suspect that I and my cat did it. But, I swear to God, it's really not me! Not even my cat! Xie Tao was a little excited, so excited that there were some tears in his eyes. (To be continued......)
