Chapter 17: Can You Lend Me a Pair of Eyes?
"Meow—"
As if receiving some kind of signal, the stray cat walked in a straight line until it came to Ivy before stopping, and a weak cry was heard.
It is a stray cat with earthy yellow hair, and the long-term malnutrition has made it very thin, with fur attached to the bone, and almost no flesh can be seen.
Facing the stray cat that walked in front of her, Ivy squatted down with the hem of her skirt, stretched out the index finger of her right hand, and touched the stray cat's head.
As Ivy's fingers touched the stray cat's head, the stray cat seemed to receive some kind of signal again.
Turn around and walk in one direction.
Ivy followed the stray cats, one after the other, in a certain direction.
Fei Lin and Jumana, a policewoman of some age, hurriedly followed.
"This is her secret art?"
Fei Lin glanced at Ivy, and then looked curiously at the stray cat that was very well-behaved and leading the way in front.
There is no doubt that Ivy must have used her secret skills, otherwise, this stray cat without any training would not be so obedient.
I just don't know if Ivy's secret art is animal taming, or some other secret art that can control animals.
Also intriguing him was Ivy's occult organs.
Deputy Bureau Lyndy once said that every Mystic Master will receive an Arcane Organ when they become a Mystic.
The practice of the Mystic Spear also mentions the Mystic Organ, which can be a foreign object or a part of the body that has been modified.
Ivy's arcane organs can't be seen as clearly as the Mystic Spear, so it's supposed to be the latter.
I just don't know what part of her body is the secret organ.
Following the stray cats, the three of them came to a relatively remote place where few people came.
Here, they saw one stray cat after another lying on the ground, limp.
There are black cats, gray cats, flower cats, cats of all colors, and the only thing they have in common is that they are all skinny like the cats they led the way before.
In this city, there are still people who do not have enough to eat, let alone stray cats that no one takes care of.
"Meow—"
Seeing someone coming, the cats were frightened and scattered in all directions.
Smack!
At this moment, Ivy stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers, and the crisp sound spread around her fingers.
As the sound reached the ears of these stray cats, the stray cats stopped running away.
They all turned around and walked towards Ivy, stopping beside Ivy.
There are dozens of them, and it looks quite spectacular.
Fortunately, it is the three of Fei Lin who are here now, all of whom know the mystery and have come into contact with the mystery.
If an ordinary person sees such a scene, I'm afraid he will be shocked?
"Can you go buy some bread?"
Looking at these thin stray cats, Ivy frowned and turned to look at Fei Lindao.
"Okay."
Felin did not refuse.
Ivy is obviously preparing to use these stray cats to investigate, as a person who has not contributed anything at all except for accompanying her, when she runs errands to buy bread, there is naturally no problem.
"I'll go."
However, before Fei Lin could act, Jumana took the initiative to take the initiative and took over the purchase of bread.
The reason why she personally led the way to Iron Cross Street was to have a good relationship with two special people, and she naturally would not miss the opportunity to run errands and build a good relationship with these two special people.
"Then it's troublesome."
Seeing that Jumana was not polite, Felin did not refuse Jumana's kindness.
He could understand the other party's feelings, before joining the Security Bureau, why didn't he try to get in touch with special people?
On the one hand, I want to join, and on the other hand, I don't want to make friends with such people, hoping that when I encounter something mysterious in the future, I can have someone to turn to.
"No trouble, no trouble."
Jumana shook her head again and again and quickly left.
In a few moments, she turned back, and in her hand was a large bag of bread in a large paper bag, which should weigh several pounds.
Taking the bread, Ivy gave it to the stray cats.
It's rare to be able to have a full meal, and all the stray cats are scrambling to eat it.
A group of stray cats are eating bread and a beautiful young woman is looking at the stray cats she feeds.
It's a very harmonious picture, and if a photographer were here, he would probably not hesitate to take it.
In the evening, the only stray cats gathered were Ferrin and Ivy and the carriage they were riding.
Before nightfall, Jumana was gone.
Knowing that the case was related to monsters, it was naturally impossible for her to stay here at night.
And Fei Lin and Ivy, I'm afraid they will inevitably have to stay up late tonight.
"Smack!"
Taking an oil lamp from the carriage and lighting it, Ivy snapped her fingers, and immediately saw the eyes of all the stray cats on her.
A pair of green eyes, under the night, inexplicably feel a little oozing.
Unmoved, Ivy walked in one direction with an oil lamp, and all the stray cats followed.
Naturally, Ferrin also followed.
Even if he doesn't follow, Ivy probably won't care, and he doesn't have the idea of acting in front of Ivy, but if he doesn't follow, how can there be mysterious points in the account?
In the night, a woman walks in front of her with an oil lamp, followed by dozens of stray cats with glowing green eyes.
It's a chilling picture.
Fortunately, there are not many people who will be outside after dark, and in the case of a murder nearby, there is no one.
With dozens of stray cats, Ivy came to the place where the young woman had been killed, and snapped her fingers twice in succession at the stray cats.
Then I saw that all the stray cats had circled around the place where the young woman had been killed, and then quickly scattered into the surrounding darkness.
"Is this intended to use the cat's sense of smell?"
Seeing Ivy's actions, Fei Lin secretly said in his heart.
In previous lives, the police would train dogs to be police dogs and use the dog's sense of smell to conduct searches.
But as far as Ferrin knows, cats have a much stronger sense of smell than dogs, and they have a stronger sense of smell than dogs.
The reason why it is not trained to search is that cats are too difficult to train compared to dogs.
However, in front of Ivy, who seems to be able to control animals by mastering secret arts, this is obviously not a problem.
Without explaining to Ferrin, Ivy carried the oil lamp and returned to the place where the stray cats gathered.
Fehrin quickly followed.
On the night of late autumn, there are gusts of cold wind blowing and blowing on the body, which is cold and cold, and people can't help but shiver.
The two returned to the place where the stray cats had gathered, and entered the carriage, and before entering, Ivy looked at the coachman who was sitting in the carriage with his body curled up.
"Juan, come and rest in the carriage."
"Miss, no need, I'll just be outside."
The coachman was a simple-looking man, and when he heard Ivy's command, he quickly shook his head.
"Get in the carriage and rest."
Ivy commanded coldly.
"Yes."
The coachman had no choice but to answer and followed into the carriage.
Ferrin glanced at Ivy in surprise, this one didn't seem to be as cold as it seemed.
For the next few days, Fei Lin spent the night squatting on Iron Cross Street and returning to his lodgings to sleep during the day.
He finally understood why, every time he dined at the Security Bureau, he could only see a dozen or so people.
The rest of the people, like him now, are definitely out because of the mission.
"It's bitter!"
Another night, in the carriage, Ferrin took a sip of the thick, bitter coffee that had been brewed on purpose, and cheered up some spirits.
The stray cats had never found any trace of the monster, and the continuous squatting made him feel very bored and boring.
If he could, he would like to bring the thick book of mysteries with him to pass the boring waiting time.
However, in order to avoid the leakage of secret arts, secret art books are not allowed to be taken out of the Security Bureau.
"Hopefully you'll have something to gain tonight!"
The coachman was ordered home by Ivy, and Ferrin looked at the other person in the carriage besides himself - Ivy who was sitting quietly reading a book.
Tonight, Ivy didn't wear a skirt, but a sweater and fur coat on the top and slim pants on the bottom.
The slim-fitting trousers completely showed off her slender and well-proportioned legs that she usually hid under her skirt.
The legs are slender and well-proportioned, the nose bridge is high, and the facial features are three-dimensional, which once again shows that this is an impeccable beauty.
Although he could be alone with such a beautiful woman in the carriage at night, Felin was not happy at all, because this beautiful woman was really not a good person to get along with.
These days, the two sides have exchanged no more than five sentences.
……
On Hongying Street, two streets away from Iron Cross Street, a man walks alone on the street at night with an oil lamp in his hand.
His name is Rudin, a worker who works in a nearby factory, is lucky enough to marry a wife, and now has two children.
Relying on the meager salary of working in the factory every month, he struggled to support the family.
Today, because of the supervisor's picking, the product was unqualified and reworked, and he still did not finish today's work when he got off work.
He didn't dare to save the rest of his work until tomorrow, because the supervisor would never let go of this opportunity, and he would inevitably withhold his salary for one or even three days.
A day's salary is dispensable to others, but it is very important for the family he is struggling to maintain.
Therefore, even though he had already left work, even if he had heard that there was a murder on the nearby street, he still insisted on completing today's task before finally leaving.
Dressed in not too warm clothes, he shrunk down the street and hurried back home.
"Who?"
Suddenly, Rudin saw a figure appear in front of the street, and thinking of the recent murder, he couldn't help but be startled, and immediately asked loudly.
The figure in front of the street did not answer, nor did it move, as if it were not a living person.
After a moment's hesitation, he boldly walked forward.
By the light of the oil lamp, he finally saw that it was a woman in thin clothes with her head bowed.
I don't know what happened, but I stood on the side of the street at night, shivering in the cold wind.
"Girl, what difficulties are you encountering?"
Rudin sighed, this was probably a poor man in a worse situation than him, so he stepped forward and asked.
The woman finally reacted, and she asked out loud.
"Can you lend me a pair...... Eyes? ”
