Chapter 1554
It was not normal for many pet cats to appear in the depths of the primeval forest, and these cats appeared in the form of death, which was even more incredible. It had an invisible influence on the thinking of Zhang Zian and the other Elfins. They knew that some felines and canines would engage in meaningless killing, so they preemptively believed that the four cats that had died were also the result of meaningless killing.
But what if he wasn 't?
As a Bird, Richard had always been a calm and objective third party. Besides, it had always liked to talk big, so even if it said something wrong, others 'impression of it would not be worse.
If it wasn't a meaningless killing, there must be a reason why the beast chose to bite the four cats to death.
Famous serial killers in history, such as Jack the Ripper, did not choose their victims randomly. Criminal investigation experts could find some common characteristics from the victims and predict their future targets. They would then send police officers to play the role of ordinary people who matched the characteristics to lure the killer into the trap.
Zhang Zian admitted that Richard did point out the blind spot in his thinking. Even so, it did not mean that Richard's guess was correct. Everything had to be based on facts.
In addition, if the beasts really chose their targets, didn't that mean ... They had a certain level of intelligence and thinking ability?
Fortunately, from the moment he met the second dead cat, he took photos of the dead cat. He didn't think much about it when he took the photos, but he felt that it was a little strange. Besides, taking a few photos wasn't a waste of time, and such an unintentional move came in handy now.
Even the first Maine mixed breed that wasn't photographed had left a deep impression on him. He could still remember it clearly in his mind. After all, the first one had brought quite a visual impact.
When it came to cats and dogs, Zhang Zian was more or less a professional among ordinary people. He quickly browsed through the three photos in the album and one photo in his mind a few times, and he really found something in common.
Among the four cats, there were mixed breeds, purebreds, male cats, and female cats. They were all adult cats, but their ages varied. There were no similarities in these aspects, but the common point was that they were all tabby cats.
The tabby cat had a wide range of fur colors, including five typical ones.
To be specific, tabby cats not only included the immediately thought of cat species such as the American Shorthair and Dragon Li, but also many unexpected cat species, such as pure-color Abyssinian cats, Maine Coon, Norway Forest Cat, and so on, which were relatively rare in China. Of course, the Egypt mau, the ancestor of tabby cats, must be included, and so were many local cats. Overall, tabby cats accounted for about 80% of all domestic cats.
It might be hard to understand why Abyssinian cats were classified as tabby cats, because their multicolored fur was equivalent to stripes. In addition, although their bodies were of pure colors, the stripes on their foreheads were still visible.
As long as there were stripes or circles of stripes on the forehead, tail, and limbs, they could generally be regarded as tabby cats."Tabby cats" were not a cat species, but just a feature of the fur color.
In short, there was an 80% chance of saying that a tabby cat was a tabby cat when you saw it on the street, which was not a bad thing.
The only pure-colored cats that didn't belong to the tabby cat were probably snowy Lionet and Vladimir.
Westerners believed that the temper of tabby cats was more ... Strange, unpredictable, and egoistic. They even deliberately used the English word "tabby" as the root of the word to describe the temper of tabby cats. However, this was actually nonsense. If tabby cats accounted for 80% of the domestic cats with strange temperaments, then perhaps the remaining 20% were not tabby cats. After all, the minority was subordinate to the majority.
These four dead cats were all tabby cats, so it wasn't very rare in terms of probability. It would be a bit far-fetched to use this as a common feature. For example, if it were a human, the adult women killed by serial killers all had heavy or light makeup on and sprayed more or less perfume. This was too common in modern society. As long as they didn't use the same lipstick color or perfume, it was difficult to be considered a common feature.
Zhang Zian knew this, but he still thought it was a common feature, because the common feature was not their identity as tabby cats, but a certain detail on their tabby patterns.
He quickly browsed through the photos a few more times, then individually selected a few photos from which he could clearly see their facial features. He gathered them together and slowed down to take a closer look.
The Elfins couldn't help, and they stared at his movements and expressions with half-curious and half-suspicious eyes.
He put down his phone, pondered for a moment, and said to the elves,""Richard is right, these four cats seem to have some common characteristics."
"Did you hear that? Am I powerful? Don't you admire me?"
Richard was very proud of himself. If it was not for the fact that it was already dark and he had night blindness, he would have flown three rounds in the sky as a celebration, and then made a lot of noise to let every elf know that it was his credit.
When he met the four silly cats during the day, the elves were all around, but he couldn't think of anything in common with them.
Zhang Zian's eyes fell on the foreheads of old time tea and fina one after another, staring for a moment and then looking away.
Old time tea touched its forehead, thinking it was dirty.
"Zian, what are the characteristics?" Famous couldn't wait to ask. It saw that the cat Elfins were hesitating because of their personal relationship, so it asked on their behalf.
Zhang Zian pointed to his forehead, then held the phone in his hand. He swiped the close-up photos of the three cats 'heads one by one for them to see, indicating that they should pay attention to the foreheads of the three cats.
"Kaka! What was it? Don't bully me because I can't see!" Richard shouted.
"Stripes?" Famous asked, puzzled.
Yes, these three cats had vertical stripes on their foreheads, just like many other cats.
Zhang Zian nodded and stared at old time tea and fina again."Look again and compare the stripes on old time tea and Fina's foreheads. Are they the same as these three cats?"
The other elves shook their heads, looking at old time tea and Fina's foreheads, and then at his phone screen.
Gradually, they seemed to really see something different, but they couldn't describe what it was.
Old time tea was scared and smiled bitterly,""Zian, are the Emperor and I different from the rest, or are the three ... No, the four cats different?"
Zhang Zian muttered to himself,"it's not really different. It's just two different lines. The lines on your and Fina's foreheads look like scarabs, but the lines on the foreheads of the four cats look more like M-shaped."
