Chapter 49 The Secret of Women and Cats
Gu Nankai also stared at the cat, his eyes slightly fixed: "It looks like a pure British shorthair, but it's malnourished and its fur color is not very obvious. Check if its nose is dry. If it is dry, take it to the veterinary hospital."
"Wu Qingluan's heart was on this little guy at this moment. When she heard what Gu Nankai said, she subconsciously followed his instructions. After an examination, she found that the cat really needed to be sent to the pet hospital as soon as possible.
"Let's go to the nearest pet hospital. If this cat belongs to Xie Lingling, what if there is a possibility that she has taken the cat to the pet hospital? We can see if we can find any clues." Gu Nankai made a quick decision, and the three of them quickly left the crime scene.
Gu Nankai was right. When they took the cat to the nearest pet hospital, they found something. Seeing Wu Qingluan holding the cat, the staff in the store recognized it at a glance and stepped forward to greet it: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Badou? I haven't brought it here for a long time. Eh? Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nankai quickly realized that they were in the right place. He stepped forward and asked, "Do you know this cat?"
The employee was a little girl with a round face. Her smile gave people an approachable feeling. When she heard Gu Nankai's question, she frowned and quickly replied, "I personally brought the little Croton back to life."
Very good, Gu Nankai nodded and looked at Wu Qingluan: "Take the cat to see a doctor, we will investigate the situation."
Wu Qingluan took the cat to get treatment, while Gu Nankai and Cao Cang stayed behind to ask the little girl for clues.
"Hello, we are from the serious crime team, and we want to investigate some situations with you." Cao Cang took out his police ID and showed it to Yuanyuan. The girl thought they were here to treat the cat and greeted them cheerfully. The police ID scared the girl. Her face changed and she quickly stepped back, crying: "Comrade police, I'm just a veterinarian. I don't know anything!"
They both realized that the little girl must have overthought. After looking at each other, Gu Nankai quickly signaled her not to be nervous: "Don't be nervous, we won't do anything to you. We just want to know something about the cat's owner."
After hearing this, the little girl realized that the incident had nothing to do with her, and she exclaimed: "I was so scared, I thought I had committed some crime."
She patted her chest to calm herself down, and soon thought of what Gu Nankai had just said. The little girl looked around and said, "Comrade police, it's strange to be at the door. Let's talk inside. It would be bad if we scare my customers."
Gu Nankai and the others did not comment and followed the round girl into a meeting room. On the way there, the girl introduced herself enthusiastically.
As her name suggests, Chen Yuanyuan, after she graduated from university, her parents scraped together enough money to open a pet clinic for her here. Business is pretty good, with many regular customers. As her parents still live in the old city, they have never thought about moving to the main city. Anyway, the transportation system is well developed, and going to the main city just takes a little more time. It is also quiet here, so she has been working here.
"Ms. Chen, how much do you know about the cat's owner?" The two sat casually, and Gu Nankai quickly got to the point and asked his questions.
"I don't know the name of the cat's owner, but I remember very clearly that the girl saved Xiao Badou." Chen Yuanyuan recalled a little and spoke. Seeing that Gu Nankai and the others were still staring at her and waiting for her to continue, she continued, "It was raining heavily at the time, and Xiao Badou's vocal cords were damaged. Who could notice such a tiny cat among the cars passing by at the time, so Xiao Badou was hit by a car."
Gu Nankai responded to her: "Isn't this cat able to make any sound?"
"Yes, it should be a stray cat, but it was that girl who rescued it. When she brought it to me, Xiao Badou was hit by a car. The girl was very anxious and almost cried." Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, recalling the situation that day.
"Look, is this the girl?" Gu Nankai had already asked Gao Yuan for Xie Lingling's photo while he was talking. When Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, he picked up his phone and showed it to her. Chen Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's this girl. Such a pretty girl, everyone would take a second look."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled shyly when she said this: "That girl has a good figure and looks artistic. A fat guy like me would of course take a second look at her. Not to mention that the way she came in with the cat in her arms would make anyone feel sorry for her."
Chen Yuanyuan seemed to envy Xie Lingling's figure. There was a hint of envy in her words. Cao Cang looked at the girl and said, "You are not bad, very good."
It was rare for people to say this, so Chen Yuanyuan smiled happily.
"She finally adopted the cat, right?" Gu Nankai also smiled along with Cao Cang to show his agreement with what he said, and then asked another question.
Chen Yuanyuan nodded: "Yes, it was really lucky that the little Croton was rescued, not to mention that it had many congenital diseases, otherwise it would not have been thrown away. Look at how skinny it is. You must have thought it was abused at first."
Gu Nankai and Cao Cang were stunned and nodded at the same time. To be honest, when Cao Cang took it out from under the bed, their first reaction was to think that Xie Lingling was abusing the cat. Now that Chen Yuanyuan said this, they realized that it was not the case.
"Its condition was very difficult to keep alive, but Xie Lingling didn't believe it and took it home. I never thought she could keep it alive until now. The little Croton looks much better than when I first saw it."
After Chen Yuanyuan said this, Gu Nankai and Cao Cang could both imagine what the cat looked like when Xie Lingling first raised it.
"But we didn't find any traces of cat supplies in Xie Lingling's house." Cao Cang frowned. Since Xie Lingling had taken great pains to raise this cat, how could there be nothing at her house? At least there should be some cat food.
Gu Nankai also thought of this question and found it incredible.
"It's very simple. She may have taken the cat to a better hospital. Nowadays, some pet hospitals not only have good technology, but cats can also get better care there. For a cat like Croton, if you are willing to spend money, it is safest to keep it in the hospital."
Chen Yuanyuan gave the two of them a relatively reasonable explanation.
Gu Nankai thought for a moment and realized that if that was the case, then this cat must have been just brought back by Xie Lingling, and before she had time to decorate it, something happened to Xie Lingling.
"Officer, why are you asking about this girl? What happened?" Looking at the two people in front of her, Chen Yuanyuan finally asked the question that had always been in her mind.
"Little girl, it's not good for police to know too much when investigating a case." Gu Nankai said to her with a smile.
Chen Yuanyuan was frustrated and smacked her lips in disappointment. Gu Nankai asked again, "When she came here, was there no one else around that woman?"
Hearing Gu Nankai's question, Chen Yuanyuan thought about it carefully and finally shook her head: "No, I see her passing by here every once in a while, and every time she is alone, she looks quite lonely."
She paused again and said, "But maybe it's just her temperament. Most women with temperament look lonely, hehe..."
Gu Nankai and Cao Cang both found her statement interesting. This little girl was quite likable.
As they were talking, Wu Qingluan also came in. Gu Nankai and Cao Cang looked over immediately. Wu Qingluan nodded and said, "The situation is not bad, not as bad as we thought."
Seeing a beautiful woman coming in , who was also a police officer, Chen Yuanyuan quickly stood up and asked her to sit down. The girl was always enthusiastic towards beautiful girls. Wu Qingluan used to mind other people's enthusiasm towards her, but after working in the serious crime team for a while, Shang Lu, the little girl, always stuck to her and talked about nonsense when she had nothing to do. After a while, she was not so averse to it.
