Cat Demon (17)

Intuition tells Kang Lele that Zhou Zhi does not look like a murderer. Although he has that kind of impulse, it seems that the impulse is only temporary. If Zhou Zhi kills someone, he should use a knife or a more direct method. If he poisons, it will take a long time. Time plan, Zhou Zhi and You Xuewei don’t know each other, and there is no way to enter You Xuewei’s home. From this point of view, You Xuewei will not feel at ease with Zhou Zhi. Even if Zhou Zhi enters You Xuewei’s home, You Xuewei It is also impossible to eat the food given by Zhou Zhi. The point is that there was no sign of struggle at the crime scene, so it is unlikely that Zhou Zhi killed someone. After letting Zhou Zhi go, Xuehu and Kang Lele returned to the hotel. They didn't sleep all night. They were both very tired, but they couldn't sleep. They hid on the bed. Kang Lele looked at the bell repeatedly for a long time. The rope was not long. It proves that it cannot be worn on the body. Could it be an accessory hanging on the bag? It's impossible. The golden bell doesn't look very beautiful on the bag, and the rope isn't pretty enough either. So who is the owner of this bell? Kang Lele was thinking a lot.

On the other side, Li Wenyu and Luo Sichen went to Zhou Min's house and found that there was no one at Zhou Min's house. At least no one opened the door when they rang the doorbell. Luo Sichen felt strange, so he waited at Zhou Min's house until dawn. After dawn, the family opposite Zhou Min's house opened the door first. When that person saw two strangers, Luo Sichen and Li Wenyu, standing in the hallway, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for?"

"Oh, we want to find Zhou Min." Luo Sichen turned around and replied with a smile, making himself appear more approachable so as not to be regarded as a bad person by others.

Zhou Min's neighbor was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Are you looking for Zhou Min?"

"Yes, is Zhou Min at home?"

"Zhou Min..." Zhou Min's neighbor frowned and looked at Luo Sichen and Li Wenyu. "Zhou Min has been missing for a few days, and her mother is also looking for her."

"Missing?" Luo Sichen made a surprised expression.

Zhou Min’s neighbor nodded and said in a low voice: “For several days, her mother has been anxious to death. The school called to say that Zhou Min was not in class. Her mother searched everywhere she liked to go, but no one was found. I don’t know where he went, or he let the bad guys..." At this point, Zhou Min's neighbor remembered to ask: "By the way, are you..."

"Oh, I'm a teacher at the school. I thought Zhou Min went home." Luo Sichen could only say this. He looked more mature and wouldn't be too suspicious if he said he was a teacher. Luo Sichen pointed. Li Wenyu added: "This is Zhou Min's classmate. I came to her house for the first time today and I don't know the way."

"Yes, yes, Zhou Min didn't go to class, and the teacher was so anxious." Li Wenyu nodded hurriedly.

Zhou Min's neighbor said, "Oh, I just said why I haven't seen you before." After saying that, Zhou Min's neighbor walked to the trash can under the stairs, threw the trash into the trash can, and then returned to the door. .

"Sir, don't be embarrassed. I would like to ask if Zhou Min's mother is at home?" Luo Sichen couldn't knock on the door, so he had to ask Zhou Min's neighbor.

Zhou Min's neighbor shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't seen Zhou Min's mother for two days. She must be from her natal family. Hey, it's not easy for a single-parent family. A woman raises a child to grow up. Now something like this has happened." How can I bear it?"

"Then do you know where Zhou Min's mother's natal family is?"

"I don't know, I haven't asked." Zhou Min's neighbor shook his head.

Luo Sichen knew he wouldn't get anything out of the question, so he quickly smiled and thanked her: "Sorry to trouble you, if you see Zhou Min's mother, ask her to contact the school as soon as possible."

"Okay." Zhou Min's neighbor nodded, opened his door, walked in, and closed it with a bang.

Li Wenyu looked at Luo Sichen and asked quietly: "What should I do?"

"Wait." Luo Sichen glanced at Li Wenyu and walked downstairs. Li Wenyu didn't know what Luo Sichen meant by waiting. There were people coming in and out upstairs and downstairs, so it was not convenient for him to ask until After the two people walked out of the building, Li Wenyu caught up with him, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Are you waiting for Zhou Min's mother to come back?"

"No."

"No?" Monk Li Wenyu was confused. Did Luo Sichen say he would wait for Zhou Min's mother? "Then what do you mean?"

Luo Sichen put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned to look at Li Wenyu, and replied softly: "Wait until dark." Luo Sichen knew that Zhou Min's mother would not appear so soon. It was daytime and there were many people, so it was not very convenient to go in. After dark, they can break in. Only in this way can they go in and see if there are any clues. Li Wenyu listened to Luo Sichen's suggestion and hesitated: "...What if Zhou Min's mother comes back after we find out halfway? We will be sent to the Public Security Bureau."

"You're wrong. Think about it, Zhou Min's mother hasn't come back for two days, where will she go?"

"Obviously, Zhou Min's neighbor also said just now that Zhou Min's mother has returned to her parents' home." Li Wenyu couldn't understand why Luo Sichen asked such a low-IQ question.

Luo Sichen knew that Li Wenyu would think so, so he walked to a stone, sat down, and replied softly: "You are wrong. Zhou Min's mother definitely did not go back to her parents' home."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Think about it, if Zhou Min goes missing, can her mother not be anxious? A mother must be very anxious if her daughter goes missing. She will try her best to find her daughter instead of just staying at home and crying. It's impossible to go back to her parents' home. If she does, she won't know if Zhou Min returns home. Do you think she will do this?" After Luo Sichen's patient analysis, Li Wenyu was dumbfounded, slapped his thigh and replied: " Yes, Zhou Min’s mother must be very anxious now, and there is no way she could care less about Zhou Min’s life or death.”

Luo Sichen smiled: "So..."

"So, Zhou Min's neighbor is lying!" Li Wenyu's mind was spinning.

I thought of Zhou Min's neighbor.

Luo Sichen looked at Li Wenyu and couldn't help but laugh. He corrected: "It may not be her neighbor who is lying, it may also be Zhou Min's mother."

"Zhou Min's mother..." Li Wenyu thought this theory was weird. Why would Zhou Min's mother lie? Her daughter was missing, so she must have been very anxious. What made Zhou Min's mother tell such a lie? Li Wenyu couldn't figure it out. Luo Sichen helped Li Wenyu analyze it again, and Li Wenyu realized that Luo Sichen had suspected that Zhou Min's mother had taken You Xuewei away, but there was no evidence and no one was found, so it was still too early to conclude everything.

After not sleeping all night, Li Wenyu couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing others coming in and out, full of energy, Li Wenyu couldn't help but yawn, and tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously.

"Oh, I can't stand it anymore, I feel so sleepy."

"Want to sleep?" Luo Sichen glanced at Li Wenyu. Li Wenyu's eyes were bloodshot. He pointed at his own eyes and replied: "It's already like this, can you not be sleepy?"

"Then let's go back to sleep." Luo Sichen stood up and patted his butt. Li Wenyu was a little surprised and quickly followed him. After the two got in the car, Li Wenyu asked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What did you say?" Luo Sichen sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at Li Wenyu.

Li Wenyu yawned, put his hand on the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and complained: "I told you that I could go back to sleep, but my butt hurts from sitting on the rock."

"You didn't even ask me."

"..." Li Wenyu looked at Luo Sichen who had a smile on his face and almost hit a tree. He quickly turned the steering wheel and focused on driving.

Back at the hotel, Li Wenyu didn't even wash his face. He lay down directly on the bed, pulled up the quilt, covered it, and closed his eyes. His tired body was relaxed at this moment. He felt like he was surfing the Internet from yesterday to today. He was so tired after staying up all night, and there were no other thoughts in his mind, except for two words: sleep.

Seeing that Li Wenyu fell asleep so quickly, Luo Sichen smiled slightly, walked to the window, and closed the curtains. It was not that Luo Sichen was not sleepy, he was just counting the time. If his guess was correct, Zhou Min's mother was really If You Xuewei is taken away, what will Zhou Min’s mother do? Could it be that Zhou Min's mother already knows You Xuewei's true identity? In other words, does Zhou Min's mother know that Zhou Min is dead? This possibility is a bit high. Although Zhou Min and You Xuewei look exactly the same, there are always differences. It is understandable that You Hai didn't notice it. Men are generally more careless than women. Being a mother is different. Her daughter has a special aura and a way of speaking. Could it be that You Xuewei made a mistake and Zhou Min's mother found out about it? What did Zhou Min's mother want to do next? The question is confusing, but there is only one answer. Zhou Min's mother did not take You Xuewei home, so Zhou Min's mother's behavior was not normal. From this look, Luo Sichen felt that You Xuewei was already in danger. , so he wanted to find Zhou Min's mother as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Luo Sichen couldn't sleep no matter what. He thought Xuehu and Kang Lele hadn't come back yet, so he made a call. After answering the phone, he realized that Xuehu and Kang Lele were already in the room at this time, so he hurried over. Find out the situation from them.

Kang Lele told Luo Sichen the whole story of how they went to investigate the 'Dark Messenger'. Luo Sichen couldn't help but praise Kang Lele, because although Kang Lele had no spiritual power, luckily he was not stupid, even though he did not find the real murderer. , but also found a relevant clue. Holding the bell, Luo Sichen looked at it repeatedly and handed it to Xue Hu's hand.

"Xue Fu, smell it."

"Yeah." Xuehu brought the bell to his nose, sniffed it, and frowned. "It smells like...cat."

Luo Sichen smiled and nodded. The smell was a little fishy, ​​like animal saliva. He thought Kang Lele wouldn't notice it, so he asked Xuehu to remind him. Kang Lele had learned another profound lesson, that is, he must have people around him. Competent people help themselves, one person's head is far less reliable than the abilities of two people...
