Chapter 47 Missing

Mr. Cat stretched.
It stood up from the soft cat bed and began to lick its fur.
This is the host's daily ritual, and it does not interfere. It acknowledges that the host's daily grooming can make it feel relaxed and happy. It would be even better if it does not use saliva.
In the past, when it still had a Homo sapiens body, the cleaning ceremony was also the most relaxing moment for it. It preferred to do all the cleaning work by itself rather than have servants serve it.
After a ten-minute cleansing ritual, Mr. Cat felt comfortable all over. At this time, the alarm clock on the table showed the time: 6:35 in the morning.
It jumped onto the bed, where its companion, Xiao Zhen, was still fast asleep. The young human was lying on his side, half of his face was exposed from under the quilt, and he was sleeping soundly. Or rather, the Heart Devourer in this body was still resting.
Mr. Cat stretched out his paw and patted the boy's face. The boy grunted and simply buried his face in the quilt.
"You can get up now."
It just kept stepping on him, but the boy remained unmoved. He covered his face and squirmed under the quilt, vowing to sleep until the last minute.
Tsk. Mr. Cat despised the laziness of his companion. When he inhabited the body of a Homo sapiens, he never let himself be lazy along with the desires of the body. For a long time, he had been living a self-disciplined and strict life. After living in the cat, his work and rest became much more relaxed. This was all the fault of the host's deep-rooted habits. And he was just maintaining a certain respect for the host.
It was an ordinary morning.
Captain Ban was not in Xiaozhen's bedroom. He must have flown away again. Mr. Cat had no interest in the whereabouts of his avian companion.
It walked gracefully to the railing of the corridor. The aunt downstairs had already started preparing breakfast. Mr. Cat sneezed because he smelled that smell again. Needless to say, it was An Yuan who was tinkering with nutritious vegetable juice again. The suspicious brown slurry made people feel sick just by looking at the color.
From Yan An to Yan Zhen, Yan Zhu was able to drink it, which has always been a mystery in Mr. Cat's mind. If someone handed it this thing every morning, it would definitely let the other person's brain taste this flavor in a physical sense.
Mr. Cat walked through the living room and came to the outdoor garden. Under the optical camouflage, the scented fruit that Xiaozhen had planted a few days ago was growing vigorously. The fine wine brewed from this plant, which mainly grows in the Jinghai star region, has always been deeply loved by the people of the Star Spirit.
However, Mr. Cat did not have high hopes for Xiaozhen's cultivation results. The planet where the scented fruit originated was completely different from this planet. Due to the influence of revolution and rotation, the sunshine time there was more than three times that of this planet. He doubted whether it could grow sweet and juicy fruits without sufficient sunshine.
The clay figures were busy under the leaves. When they saw Mr. Cat coming, they immediately fled in fear and hid behind the leaves, trembling. This reaction was a bit too much, Mr. Cat thought. I just didn't restrain my host last time, so it slapped away two figures.
And he was only slightly afraid of being beaten.
Mr. Cat leaned his head closer, and the little people ran very fast, scattering into the surrounding green plants. This self-protection mechanism was stronger than he thought.
The little people all ran away, and Mr. Cat inspected the scent fruit again and concluded that it would definitely not grow good fruit. At this moment, he suddenly got an idea. He turned around and saw that it was indeed An Yuan who was holding a mobile phone and taking pictures of it.
This female stalker is insatiable.
Ever since she uploaded a video of Mr. Cat secretly and received many likes and comments, An Yuan has been obsessed with taking pictures of Mr. Cat. He hated An Yuan's behavior and protested to Xiao Zhen many times. But Xiao Zhen not only did not stop him, but also showed an attitude of enjoying it. And Captain Ban has been making sarcastic remarks recently because An Yuan did not pay any attention to him and only chased Mr. Cat secretly every day.
Mr. Cat now doesn't want to pay any attention to these two companions.
It turned its body, pointed its butt at An Yuan, jumped onto the wall nimbly, and left Yan's house.
Mr. Cat enjoys this time alone every day. The city has a mild climate and good air quality. The morning breeze is cool and the air is a little humid. Mr. Cat walks and jumps on the wall, and soon he comes to the community park. This is his temporary base not long after he came to this city.
There are Mr. Cat's original friends.
A group of cats were resting and playing in the woods of the park. Some of the cats were old acquaintances of Mr. Cat's host, and they ran over to greet Mr. Cat by wagging their tails, while a few new cats looked at him with caution and curiosity.
A black cat said, "You've come just in time. It's almost time for dinner."
"Eat! Eat! Meow..."
Mr. Cat asked, "Is it Granny Lin who is delivering the food again?"
"Yes. She didn't come for a few days, but now she comes every day again."
The black cat rubbed against Mr. Cat's body with familiarity, making comfortable meowing sounds, and several other cats also rubbed against him. This was their way of expressing friendship and kindness to Mr. Cat. Mr. Cat did not like such close physical contact in his previous body, but the current host enjoyed this kind of touch, so Mr. Cat did not resist forcefully.
A cream-colored female cat scurried out from the bushes. It approached Mr. Cat carefully and rubbed him gently with its soft body. Mr. Cat smelled a sweet, intoxicating scent that made its host fall into a dreamlike joy.
The other cats also smelled this scent, and they couldn't help but try to get closer to the little female cat. The little female cat immediately turned hostile and waved her claws to drive them away.
The black cat grumbled, "Sweet Pea only has eyes for you."
Sweet Pea is the name of the little female cat. Mr. Cat said, "Oh."
"Aren't you going to play with Sweet Pea?" The black cat looked at Sweet Pea in ecstasy, "She is so cute."
Mr. Cat felt the host's impulse and desire. But sorry, Mr. Cat would not allow this. He currently had no interest in mating with the female cat.
Tiandou circled around Mr. Cat twice, then simply collapsed on the ground, exposing his soft belly. This was an obvious invitation. Mr. Cat turned around and pretended not to see it.
Amid the male cats' resentment, Granny Lin arrived.
So all the jealousies and undercurrents were thrown aside, and the only true God in the world was left with Granny Lin. The cat food bag in her hand was the Holy Word of Revelation. A group of cats rushed to worship her with their bodies, just to get more love from the true God.
Granny Lin opened a bag and poured the fish offal she had collected from the market into several disposable boxes and placed them in a row. The cats rushed over and whimpered as they ate. She opened another bag and poured half a bag of cat food into the fixed feeding point, and filled several water bowls with water. After all the work was done, Granny Lin stood up and found that all the cats were eating, only Mr. Cat was sitting aside unmoved.
"Aren't you hungry?" Granny Lin asked Mr. Cat.
“…”
"Ah, I remember you." Granny Lin smiled. "Last time when I fainted at home, that cat outside the window was you. I've been wondering if you saved me."
“…”
"If so, thank you so much."
" ..."
"Maybe it's just a cat that looks like you. You're really weird, why don't you eat it?" Granny Lin reached out and tried to touch Mr. Cat, but Mr. Cat deftly dodged her hand. Granny Lin smiled, stood up and walked towards the park entrance. This is what she has been doing for more than 20 years.
Sitting on a small bench at the entrance of the park, she held up a board with a large four-character title on it: "Missing Person Notice".
Mr. Cat walked over to Granny Lin. On the board was a picture of a little girl, smiling brightly .
Her name is Ding Muli, and she is the granddaughter of Grandma Lin who has been missing for more than 20 years.
Granny Lin would sit at the park entrance with the wooden board every day for several hours, asking passers-by the same question.
"Have you met my granddaughter Ding Muli?" She has been asking this question over and over again for more than 20 years.
Mr. Cat read the missing person notice on the board again. The color photo of the little girl had long faded, and even the notice paper on the board had turned yellow.
This human being must have been lost for more than twenty years.
Mr. Cat thought calmly. Granny Lin reached out and touched it, and it remained quiet without dodging.
Mr. Cat walked slowly into the depths of the park. Today, his main purpose was not to let his host reunite with old friends, but to do something else important.
There is a pear blossom path on the side of the park. In spring, it is a beautiful scenery like snow. But in this season, it looks ordinary and deserted. A man is sitting on the third bench from the left.
When it came closer, the man straightened up nervously and saluted it. "Greetings, Inspector."
These idiots never know when to behave appropriately. "No need to be polite in public."
Following Mr. Cat's commanding gaze, the man hurriedly sat back in his chair. He was the clerk of the Eye of Supervision's branch in this city.
"To make a long story short, do you have any information so important that you must meet me in person to report it?" Mr. Cat asked him.
"Another human has been murdered," the clerk said. "I can confirm that this is the same case as the high school student murdered last month."
"Give me the materials."
The clerk handed a tablet to Mr. Cat.
The incident happened two days ago. A body was found in a rental house in Jiandong District. The person who found it was the landlord who came to collect the rent. The body looked intact on the outside, but all the internal organs were hollowed out. The method was horrifying.
This is not an isolated case.
The same was true of the body of the senior student from No. 13 Middle School who was murdered last month.
"Are you sure it wasn't just some ordinary local murder?"
"We found this inside the body." The clerk slid the tablet and a hair appeared on the screen. "Sir, after analysis, it turns out that this is a hair from a Nansai."
The Nansai people are a race of intelligent Homo sapiens living in the wide star region, with an ancient bloody hunting tradition. In the eyes of the Protoss people, they are rude, bloodthirsty, backward and civilized barbarians. Mr. Cat has read the recent immigration report, and there is indeed a Nansai person in this marginal place far away from the galactic civilization.
"Take me to see the body."
The bodies of the murdered humans were placed in a cold storage. The clerk told Mr. Cat that because the death was abnormal and alien hair was found, they immediately covered up all abnormal traces. Currently, the only remaining knowledge of the local humans is that this person is missing.
Both victims were women. Mr. Cat jumped next to the body of a victim, and the clerk used a metal rod to pry open the abdomen of the corpse. All the internal organs and tissues were removed without exception, which was uncomfortably weird.
"This method of killing is very rare."
Mr. Cat looked at the cold corpse on the shelf. It was a very young girl. There was a thin layer of frost on her face and there were only two empty holes where her eyes were.
Then it went to see the body of another victim. This high school girl had a younger face, her eyes were closed, her face was blue and purple, and her body was empty, almost the same as the previous victim.
"Sir, there was hair from the Nansai people at the scene, so we immediately determined that this was an alien-related incident and strictly followed the confidentiality procedures according to the law."
Mr. Cat said, "Are you sure you have covered up all the information?"
"Sir, you can rest assured. Their families will just think they are missing." The clerk spread his hands, "When the incident is over, if it is indeed the work of aliens, we will dispose of their bodies and will not leave any traces."
Mr. Cat looked at the bodies of the two dead women. They died silently and would disappear silently until their families despaired. This was the rule to protect the local independent civilization, and never leak any information about the galactic civilization. This was also one of the duties of the Eye of Supervision.
It reminded me of the old lady sitting at the gate of the park. Her granddaughter disappeared more than 20 years ago, silently. For her family, disappearance was like a candlelight of hope, not death, but just disappearance.
"Leave these two cases to me," said Mr. Cat.
"Hey, sir?" the clerk exclaimed in surprise.
Because I will find the murderer and make him die ugly, Mr. Cat thought to himself.
