Chapter 7: The Black Cat

There was no sound in the dark corridor except for Xiao Xia's breathing.

How did you get to the thirteenth floor? There isn't a single resident here!

She looked back and forth, left and right, but there was no one. Then he tried to move his steps, only to hear the dull echo of his own footsteps echoing in the empty hallway.

She tried to walk slowly, but the footsteps were so loud that she wanted to take off her shoes, but she had to turn back to the elevator.

The elevator light flickered, indicating that it was going down, and she would have to wait a while before she could wait. At this time, she suddenly had a feeling that something was staring at her!

She subconsciously searched around, and all she saw was a closed iron door, each door with a cat's glasses, shining a little light in the dark, as if someone was peeping at her behind every door! There is also an invisible corner on the side of the corridor, which makes her feel that there is something hidden!

Can't wait here, climb the stairs!

She walked in a panic in the direction of the stairs, and only took a step before she heard a cat meow behind her.

Because it came suddenly in the silence, Xiao Xia was so frightened that she almost jumped up, leaning against the wall to look at the source of the sound.

A black cat was standing sideways, also turning its head to look at Xiao Xia!

It has a pair of large green eyes, which should be said to be a little too big, as if they occupy half of the entire cat's face, and they look very empty, with a soul-sucking feeling, and a faint green light flashes in the dark.

Xiao Xia and the cat looked at each other, and it was only a few seconds before Xiao Xia began to be afraid, afraid of a kitten!

"Ahem-" The black cat suddenly made a sound, but the cat's face was still facing Xiao Xia.

Xiao Xia only felt that its mouth was squirming, as if it was a human speech, and a smile gradually spread on the cat's face!

She's frozen there! She never knew that animals could laugh, and in her impression, kittens were always puffed up. But just as she was stunned, the cat suddenly arched at her, and then pounced on her!

For a moment, she was frightened, and in the face of the black shadow that came to her face, she could only instinctively close her eyes and block her face with her hand. But a breeze blew, and when I opened my eyes again, there was nothing in front of me. The black cat was nowhere to be found.

Xiao Xia jumped up like an electric shock, ran from the stairs to the office on the fifteenth floor, opened the door and entered, and locked the door tightly, lest the cat chase after him.

The black cat was acting so weirdly, it felt like - like a seductor from hell!

Thinking so, she shuddered, and hurriedly ran to Guan Zheng's office to check the information, thinking that she would leave quickly after the check.

And around the corner of the thirteenth floor, a man walked out!

It's Guanzheng!

He sighed in the direction where the black cat disappeared and said, "I tried my best to let you run!" Then he looked up at the rooftop, "What is she doing at such a late hour?" ”

He stood there thinking for a minute, then walked up the stairs.

Guan Zheng's computer didn't have a password, and Xiao Xia easily found what she was looking for - it was the case files of the Helping Hand Firm's branches in various cities.

She clicked on the case file about the dispute between parents and children, and a set of data was immediately displayed on the computer screen. She was not interested in the content of the case, she only wanted to know the fate of the parties.

It was just a sudden thought in her mind, and she wondered if there was a mysterious death in other places like here!

She was so focused on the computer that she didn't notice that the door to the office was open, and a person walked in softly.

"What are you doing?" A man's voice was above Natsu's head, and she was so frightened that she knocked over the water glass on the table and smashed it to the ground.

"Guan-Guanzheng, why are you here?" Xiao Xia asked in surprise.

Since there was only one desk lamp on the desk in the entire office, in the already dark sky, the light shone from the bottom to the top of Guan Zheng's face, making him look a little hideous.

"That's what I should ask you." Guan Zheng was a little harsher than usual, a little angry, "What are you looking for when you open my computer?" ”

His appearance made Xiao Xia a little scared, and his question made Xiao Xia unable to answer.

"Why?" Guan Zheng raised his voice, looking angry.

However, his straightforward demeanor made Xiao Xia have some courage, "I'm looking at the case files of various branches, these are only available to you." If you blame me for turning on your computer, I have nothing to say. I'm sorry, but I don't complain about how you handle this. ”

"I'm asking, why are you looking at those things?"

"I-" Xiao Xia hesitated, not daring to continue.

If it's really Guan Zheng's troublemaker, maybe he will kill people. He was thin, but he was a man after all, and she had little chance of winning. Besides, he doesn't look like usual now, and his eyes are very fierce.

"You think the deaths of Wang Hua and Zhang are strange, don't you? Are you looking up to see if the same thing is happening in other branches? Guan Zheng said for her, "As a result, you found that there are cases of sudden drug use and death in other places, plus two in this city, a total of thirteen cases, and all of them are caused by children not supporting their parents!" You are thinking, there must be something wrong with this firm, there are no such many coincidences! ”

"Tell me it's a coincidence?" Xiao Xia asked with a white face.

This time it was Guan Zheng's turn to be speechless.

Xiao Xia stood up from behind her desk and rubbed it to the side, "Then I'll go first." ”

She said and walked past Guan Zheng, but Guan Zheng grabbed her arm, "Forget about tonight, this has nothing to do with you, you just have to do your duty!" It's your duty! ”

He grabbed it very hard, hurting Xiao Xia, and the tone of his voice when he spoke hooked Xiao Xia's anger, "What is my duty?" What is the duty of a lawyer, is to protect the interests of the client. In view of the kind of lawsuit we are fighting, I think it is in the best interest of the parties to reconcile their parents and children, and even if it doesn't work, there is no need to kill them! Let them fulfill their obligations. But their death will only make their parents more miserable, and you and your funds will be of no use! Have you thought about any of this? When you use the law or anything else to achieve what you call justice, do you think about the pain in the hearts of those poor old men? Your ideal of justice has been satisfied, but what about what really needs to be satisfied? But if they are still alive, there is at least a chance of remedy! ”

"Do you think I killed it?"

Xiao Xia didn't speak, only struggled hard, but didn't break away at all. She didn't think it was Guan Zheng's own hand, at least the bizarre deaths in the field had nothing to do with him, because he had never been far away these days. The problem is that he is the head of this aid agency, and it is impossible not to know a clue!

"I wish I could!" Guan Zheng suddenly said, "They all deserve it!" Although there is no sin in the law to be shot, all those who forget their parents' kindness and abuse their parents deserve to die! ”

"But it was their parents who were punished!" Xiao Xia rushed out, and at the same time struggled hard.

She exerted too much force, and Guan Zheng didn't let go of her hand for some reason, so she suddenly fell out hard, hitting the door of the data cabinet.

The door wasn't usually very tight, so it opened as soon as it hit, and a mess fell out of it.

Xiao Xia looked at it fixedly, and was so shocked that she retreated backwards and almost vomited!

It was a clear plastic bag with a fluffy, bloody mass inside. The skin and flesh have been peeled off, the belly has been cut open, a few white ribs have been stunned, and four small claws have been chopped off!

It's a little black cat! After being killed, the half-dismembered little black cat!

Xiao Xia glared at Guan Zheng in surprise.

Does he still kill cats? Beneath his calm and normal appearance, is there a perverted heart? What kind of person is he? Did those murders have anything to do with him? And was the black cat on the thirteenth floor that escaped from him just now?

Guan Zheng was also startled when he saw that what he was hiding was exposed, and instinctively, he began to defend, "I'm not—I'm going to experiment, I'm just thinking—you don't understand!" ”

Xiao Xia ignored him, stood up and ran again, but was caught by him again!

"Let go of me, you let go of me, I'm going to call someone!" She screamed and struggled hard, and it was terrifying in the silence!

Guan Zheng covered her mouth suddenly, "Don't scream, listen to me!" Don't worry about this, don't get involved! ”

"Why did you kill a kitten?" Xiao Xia couldn't help but ask after Guan Zheng let go of her mouth.

Guan Zheng let go of her, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Curiosity kills a cat, have you ever heard of it?" ”

"Who cares about you!" Xiao Xia yelled, turned around and ran out.

She didn't dare to wait for the elevator, she kept running from the stairs, she didn't dare to look behind her, and she didn't dare to stop until she ran home and locked all the doors and windows, and then she fell on the sofa!

Guan Zheng is a weirdo! He must have a secret!

"Natsu-chan, Natsu-chan, wake up!" A man called out to her in the dark and then gave her a nudge that almost fell out of bed.

When I woke up, it was still the middle of the night.

Let the nightmare stop again!

This is Natsu's first self-awareness. She woke up slightly, then rolled over and went back to sleep. She was very sleepy, and there was a frightening night in the office, which made her think for a long time. She decided to talk to Guan Zheng in public tomorrow, at least in the presence of the rest of the office.

If he has a mental problem, she will refer him to a psychiatrist, or if he is too stressed. If he really committed a crime, then she would persuade him to turn himself in.

In fact, she was still confused about the whole thing, and she didn't know what the specific content was, she only knew that there were secrets behind these abnormal deaths, and these secrets must be related to Guan Zheng.

She meditated for a long time, and then went to bed, but she finally fell asleep and began to dream again.

She often dreamed that someone pushed her and shook her bed, and she got used to it and didn't think much about it. But when she went back into a dream, the man started calling her again.

"Natsu-chan, Natsu-" he prolonged, "find out the secret!" ”

Xiao Xia woke up in an instant again, but this time she woke up completely, and she had a strange feeling in her heart - there were other people in this room!

The horror immediately grasped her heart like a cat's paw!

She grabbed the talisman on her chest, which Ruan Zhan had spent two months digging in the mountains to help her find. If it hadn't been for this, maybe she'd been scared to death by now.

Ruan Zhan! Ruan Zhan!

She called his name in her heart, and felt a little better.

But the voice of the man who called her name also sounded, "Xiao Xia-Xiao Xia-"

It's not in a dream anymore, someone does call her in the dark!

She was isolated, shrunk under the covers, and didn't dare to move!

At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in the room!
