Although the fog has cleared in the early morning, the air is still very humid at the end of summer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sun didn't come out, and there was a slight chill in the air.

Zheng Qing walked in the somewhat empty campus, tightening his robe, quite uncomfortable.

On the forest **, which is crowded between classes on weekdays, there are now only cats and dogs - real cats and dogs - who are walking around and exercising in the morning. On the deciduous plane trees on both sides of the road, the birds have already squinted their eyes and are starting to prepare for their lunch break.

And the real owners of this campus, those students, it is estimated that most of them are still in the bed to have a cordial and friendly meeting with Zhou Gong.

Zheng Qing walked in this empty campus with a relative, and really felt that there was no essential difference between wizards and Bai Ding.

But when he got closer to Linzhong Lake, he found that the situation was very different from other places.

A large number of people are piled up next to the rockery by the lake, lively but eerily quiet.

He remembered Xiao Xiao's advice before leaving, walked a few steps, and came out of the crowd.

"What's going on?" he dragged a Jamaican with pigtails on the periphery and asked, "Why is it so lively, does it have anything to do with the fireworks at Linzhong Lake last night?"

"Fireworks?" the Jamaican raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down, his face showing a bit of abruptness: "Freshman." ”

Only then did Zheng Qing notice that the robe of the classmate in front of him was inlaid with a black edge.

"Hello senior. He smiled a little nervously, and poked his head into the depths of the crowd curiously: "Did someone fall into the lake?"

"The breath of death. The senior shook his head, and his tone was quite solemn: "It's a kitten, and it's been mutilated." ”

Zheng Qing frowned, feeling that things were a little strange.

For wizards, small animals with aura have always been very favored.

A wizard can have no wizard friends, but there will always be pet friends.

As for small animals with abnormal spirits such as cats and foxes, wizards have many taboos. They would rather be able to serve and respect them, and even avoid them when they encounter them, rather than wantonly harm them.

So, from any point of view, the kitten dying in the school is not a good thing for wizards.

"The cat's corpse is in there?" he stood on tiptoe, trying to raise his gaze, but unfortunately, the effect was extremely limited: "Why didn't the school take it away?"

"I also find it strange, even though the school committee is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The senior scratched his head helplessly: "But this shouldn't be the reason why they didn't clean up this corpse." It stands to reason that they should have found out about the murder last night...... You mentioned last night's 'fireworks', which were the signals used by the wizarding patrol to communicate, which means that the patrol should have found the dead body last night. ”

Zheng Qing nodded silently, and raised his head in horror.

"Last night's murder?" he exclaimed, pointing to Linzhong Lake, "by this lake?"

Maybe because the senior felt that Zheng Qing was a little too fussy, after a simple nod, he immediately left the crowd and walked towards the library.

But Zheng Qing didn't feel like he was making a fuss at all.

He is going to come to Zhonghu in the middle of the night next week to patrol, and casually die in his own jurisdiction before he takes office, which is completely irresponsible!

And it's the kind of flag that is sure to happen.

With a bit of concern, he kept wandering around the neighborhood, inquiring.

Onlookers also had different opinions about the cause of the kitten's death.

Some say that the kitten was dragged down the lake by a water ghost and then had its eyes stripped by a fish-man's cub. But this claim was immediately denied.

"The whole cat is dry! And if the water ghost dragged it down the lake, why did it put it back on the shore? The person who retorted analyzed it very methodically: "In my opinion, it should be a little monster that ran out of the Wild Demon Garden, and in this campus, only those beasts can do what this kind of beast does." ”

"The demons of the Wild Demon Garden don't have the courage to approach Linzhong Lake. Someone in the crowd denied this speculation: "And how could those unintelligent wild demons kill this kitten so lightly?

Onlookers nodded yes.

"Maybe it's an eyeball-eating goblin. The former analyst was a little unconvinced: "Otherwise, who wants better reasoning?"

The crowd fell silent again.

"Why can't it be a wizard?" Zheng Qing finally seized the opportunity and looked at the others in great surprise: "This kind of very methodical killing looks like a wizard's hand?"

This sentence seemed to touch some taboo, and everyone looked at him with a strange look, as if he was the murderer of the kitten.

Before he could say anything more, the onlookers dispersed.

The dodgy peeking glance they gave before they left made Zheng Qing furious.

"What do you mean!" he was indignant: "I didn't kill it...... What kind of attitude is this!"

But no one paid any attention to him.

People went to the sky, and Zheng Qing finally came to the rockery and saw the killed kitten.

It was a white kitten, covered in short hair, lying on a rockery with its paws in its hands, as if it were asleep.

If its two eye sockets weren't so black and hollow, Zheng Qing might really think it was just asleep.

"It's cruel. He forgot about the other onlookers in a blink of an eye, and his heart was a little heavy: "You can do it so cute...... It's too unusual. ”

A few fluffy tree sperms slid down the branches of the weeping willows to the rockery, poked their heads out, and looked curiously at the young wizard standing by the lake and the little milk cat crawling on the rock.

A gutless boy crawled out of the lake, spitting bubbles as he climbed higher up the rockery. It has a purple shrimp in its pincers. On weekdays, Zheng Qing would definitely grab food and carefully study why there are purple shrimps.

But now.

Zheng Qing took one last look at the little white cat, sighed, and walked towards the door of the library.

This sudden accident seriously affected his mood today.

......

Zheng Qing didn't wait long at the door of the library.

Jiang Yu came to the appointment in advance at 8:50.

"You're here so early. Jiang Yu trotted over, crossed his waist, tilted his head, and fanned the wind with one hand in his ear.

The light fragrance drifted into Zheng Qing's nose along this small breeze, making his mind float.

"It's not even nine o'clock. She looked at Zheng Qing with a smile, holding a small bag on her wrist crossed around her waist.

For the first time, Zheng Qing found that the female squad leader was very comfortable laughing.

This made his originally depressed mood a little better.

"You're early, too. Zheng Qing took out the pocket watch from his arms, looked at the time, and smiled: "It's not even nine o'clock." You're a girl, you can be half an hour late...... This is the prerogative of girls. ”

"It's discrimination against girls. Jiang Yu restrained his smile and looked at him seriously: "Any discrimination between men and women is discrimination. ”

Zheng Qing raised his hands in begging for mercy, expressing his complete agreement.
