In Zheng Qing's second week of school, a second-degree murder occurred on the shore of Linzhong Lake.

A white shorthair cat that has not yet been weaned has its neck bone torn off, and the killer has brutally ripped out two of the kitten's eyes. And for some unknown reason, the kitten's corpse spent almost a whole day on the tall rockery by the lake.

After nearly a month of investigation, the school's final conclusion was that the kitten had been killed by a kappa in Linzhong Lake – a conclusion that was undoubtedly not so convincing. But schools don't need to convince students either. The school only needs one conclusion.

After all, it was only a kitten that had only been born for a few months, and the professors had confirmed that the kitten had not been transformed by some idle and bored wizard using Transfiguration. In addition, there have been a lot of miscellaneous matters in all aspects of the school's internal affairs recently, so the staff in charge of the investigation of the school working committee had to get by and hastily concluded the case.

It has to be said that this operation of the school is in line with the hearts of many people - the investigators from the Wizarding League do not want a wild cat to affect the relationship between the League and First University, the journalists outside the school prefer conclusive stories to unfounded speculations, and as for the school's students, their attention has long been diverted by the sand bugs, the return of silence months in advance, and the month-long 'House Cup' hunt.

In just the past month, most of the school has forgotten about the kitten with its neck torn off and its eyeballs gouged out. Occasionally, a few people pass by the rockery and pretend to put down a few dry daisies, but it is just to attract the attention of others and win a little fame for themselves.

Except for Jiang Yu.

Since he knew that the kitten was fed by Jiang Yu in private, as a friend, Zheng Qing couldn't help but subconsciously pay attention to this aspect of things. Therefore, he knew that Jiang Yu often took time out of school on weekends to go to the Shushan Museum to check the files of similar cases, and often went to the school working committee to apply for the investigation materials of the school workers, and more than once found her standing quietly under the rockery, silently mourning the deceased friends.

Girls are always a little more sentimental, and maybe after a while, she will see it. The young public scholarship student told himself this in his heart.

However, after nearly two months, when Jiang Yu said the reason why she practiced Transfiguration, Zheng Qing immediately realized that she had not let go of the matter.

"I thought you were just planning to prepare for your senior classes in advance and then try to graduate early. The young student looked at the witch with a shocked look on his face, and muttered, "Your idea is too dangerous......

"There are also considerations in this regard," Jiang Yu raised his head, threw his long hair behind him, and looked at the wizard with burning eyes: "So you will support me, right?"

Zheng Qing was stunned by the witch's gaze.

A few weeks ago, he had seen Jiang Yu in the classroom borrowing a lot of tools related to Transfiguration, the last time she had turned into a cat, she and Li Meng had discussed a mysterious plan in the shade of a tree, and then, today, not long ago, the young student had witnessed Dr. Duzem hand her a small bottle of translucent liquid, and heard them talk about certain keywords for 'directional transformation'.

Based on these conditions, referring to what Jiang Yu wanted to do the most, Zheng Qing easily deduced her plan - nothing more than to become a kitten, and then wait for the rabbit, hoping that the murderer would appear in Linzhong Lake again and commit murder again.

"No, no, no, it's too dangerous!" Thinking of this, Zheng Qing suddenly came to his senses and shook his head vigorously, trying to throw her terrible plan out of her head.

Then he looked at Jiang Yu seriously, and emphasized in a serious tone: "The professors will not agree to your plan!"

"I wasn't going to let them know. Realizing the witch's opposition, the witch pursed her lips, turned and walked out of the alley, and said casually, "...... You're not going to tell them, are you? ”

Zheng Qing subconsciously shook his head, but then reacted.

"Don't let them know?" exclaimed the poor public student, "If you don't let them know, how can you ensure your safety against the murderer? You know, after the transformation, you are just a slightly smarter ordinary animal! You need very reliable backup!"

"Meng Meng promised to help me. The witch replied briefly.

"Li Meng?" Zheng Qing almost laughed out loud at this answer: "You let that little girl keep vigil at Linzhong Lake at night, aren't you afraid that she will faint again?"

"Isn't it still you. Jiang Yu tilted his head and glanced at the male witch: "Your hunting team occasionally trains at night, right...... Isn't it enough to have a freshman hunting team to help? Besides, I just gave you a very powerful talisman gun!"

This rhetoric blocked the young public-funded students with nothing to say.

As they spoke, the two had already reached the middle of the pedestrian street. Because today is the weekend, and now it is evening, in a little while, the Astronomy 08-1 class will have a weekly class meeting. After calculating the time, the two simply had a light meal in the small restaurant on the pedestrian street, planning to wait for a while and go straight to the meeting.

From leaving the alley, to having dinner, to 601 East of the teaching building, for more than an hour, Zheng Qing has been trying to persuade Jiang Yu to give up her stupid plan.

Not surprisingly, his advice was ignored by the witch.

It wasn't until he was fast entering the classroom, under Jiang Yu's repeated warning gaze, that Zheng Qing had to stop the persuasion and part ways in frustration at the door of the classroom.

"What, Yu Guifei is angry with you?" Xin Fatty, who was sitting at the back of the classroom to help occupy a seat, looked at the wizard who came weakly, and laughed in a low voice.

"What a mess!" Zheng Qing slapped the fat man on the head and sighed: "You are so open-mouthed, aren't you afraid of being beaten by her......?"

The fat man smacked his lips and slowly squirmed back into his seat.

"You're a little late today," when Zheng Qing sat down, Xiao Xiao asked without raising his head, "What did the wandering wizard say?"

"No problem, the old man agreed. The young public-funded student slammed on his desk and replied with a snort: "In addition, I sold him all the hunting catches—which is also one of the conditions for him to help—in short, the income is good, and everyone can get a share of it when they look back." ”

"You're the captain, and you decide for yourself. Xiao Xiao finally raised his head and reminded, "However, those prey were all obtained by yourself...... I don't recommend that you divide it evenly. ”

"Evenly distributed?!" Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and snorted, "What do you think! All this money is from the hunting team...... How can there be a reason for equal distribution of capital......"
