"Does the cat named Meimei usually go to various screening rooms to sleep or wander around?" Ning Shuyi confirmed with them.
Both cleaners nodded to indicate that this was the case.
“Meimei usually likes to sleep in a screening room where no one is around. When she’s not hungry and wants to sleep, sometimes she can’t find it. She goes everywhere, but she’s never had any problems!
Moreover, Meimei was a stray cat before, but it is very careful. Since being taken in by the cinema, it will not eat anything other than the people in the cinema feeding it!
Besides, when the police came that day, they left after finishing the treatment. We were all afraid of that house and no one dared to go there. Who could give it anything to eat?
Just because I couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard I tried, I felt even more scared! "
Ning Shuyi felt that she had just heard this, and her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated several beats. She had to take two deep breaths to calm herself down, and then asked the two cleaners: "How did you deal with Meimei after you found her dead?" of?"
"The screening room was locked. No one dared to go in these days. After several days passed and nothing happened, our manager couldn't hold it in any longer and thought about re-screening the screening room. It needs to be used in the hall, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of money for him to be idle?” replied the cleaning lady.
Ning Shuyi waved his hand: "I don't mean the screening room, I mean the cat. How did you deal with it?"
"Oh, you are talking about how to deal with Meimei!" The cleaning lady suddenly realized, "Although we are scared, we feel that cats are also very pitiful. They wandered around before and were taken in here for more than a year. Now, this He died suddenly and inexplicably!
So I found a box and put it inside. I took it to a park nearby and walked about ten minutes away. I dug a hole in the park and buried it! "
Ning Shuyi quickly asked where the cat was buried in the park. Although the cleaning lady was a little confused and didn't know why the police paid so much attention to a dead cat, she still tried to recall it. She was a little unsure and even called to ask. The colleague who went to bury the cat together told Ning Shuyi as accurately as possible.
Ning Shuyi thanked the two cleaning staff and asked them to leave a message to the manager, not to reopen the screening room for the time being. If he had any questions, he could contact him by phone.
When the two cleaners heard that the people from the Public Security Bureau did not support the opening of the scary screening room, they were very happy. They looked relieved and happily agreed.
Ning Shuyi came out of the bathroom and pulled Huo Yan away quickly. While walking to the nearby park mentioned by the cleaner, she told Huo Yan what she had just heard.
When they arrived at the park, they first determined the approximate location, then went to the park management office, explained the situation, and borrowed tools such as shovels.
Although the park management office was also very confused, they didn’t know why a dead cat was worth the police’s rush to dig up. Although they agreed to let them dig up, they made a condition that it must be restored to its original state after digging. .
Huo Yan agreed to the conditions of the park management office and left with a shovel. Ning Shuyi wanted to borrow another one, but he stopped him: "I am enough for this job, and I won't need your help." .”
Ning Shuyi did not argue with him about the matter. The two of them came to the forest that Baojie had described and started looking for the buried dead cat.
Although the housekeeper had tried his best to describe the location where they buried the cat as accurately as possible, eight out of ten trees in the woods looked similar, so the degree of "accuracy" was also very limited.
Fortunately, Huo Yan is a person who, although he acts vigorously and resolutely, is actually not impatient and very patient. Perhaps this is also related to his previous identity as a sniper. If he cannot bear his temper, he will not be able to complete such an important task. Task.
Based on Ning Shuyi's description, he dug here and there at more likely locations. After digging about five or six holes, he finally made a discovery. He dug out a thick hole next to a tree. A hard, boxy cardboard box.
Ning Shuyi carefully opened the cardboard box, and there was indeed a dead cat inside.
Fortunately, it has been a cold spring recently and the ground temperature has not risen yet. It was not particularly labor-intensive for Huo Yan to dig just now, so the cleaning staff did not bury them particularly deeply. In addition, there has been no precipitation in the past few days. The cat's The body was buried shallowly underground and was well preserved thanks to the low temperature underground.
And thanks to the cardboard box that the two cleaners prepared for the cat, it was of very good quality, dry and clean inside, and Ning Shuyi was very surprised that the cat could be preserved so "intact".
Huo Yan quickly refilled the several holes he had just made and treated the surface so that no trace of digging could be seen at all. Even the administrator who followed him from a distance to check on the situation was confused. He didn't find anything wrong, so he came over with interest and asked him how he did it.
Naturally, Huo Yan would not waste time in replying to this kind of question. After the two people returned the tools, they drove back to the station with the cat corpse.
The cat's body was just as the cleaning staff described it. The posture was twisted and it looked full of pain, as if it had died due to poisoning.
After being brought back to the bureau, Ning Shuyi and the others went straight to forensic doctor Zhang and handed him the cat's body, and also told him what they learned from the cinema.
"I think that just an hour or so after we processed Wang Yuluo's death scene, the cat also died in such a twisted posture in the screening room. There may be a connection between the two things. of!
Perhaps the thing that caused Wang Yuluo's death from poisoning still remained in the screening room, which led to the cat accidentally losing its life whether it was accidentally eaten or accidentally touched after entering. "She told forensic doctor Zhang what she thought.
"You do have a reasonable suspicion." Forensic Doctor Zhang nodded.
At this time, Huo Yan, who helped take the cat body out of the box, suddenly raised his hand to signal to the others: "I discovered something here."
Ning Shuyi walked up to him in confusion and saw him carefully lifting one of the paws of the cat corpse that had just been placed on the operating table so that they could see the cat's claws clearly.
There seemed to be a bug caught in the gap between the cat's claws. Obviously, the bug was already dead after being caught in the gap between the claws.
The bug was not small, and even a bit of its tail and tiny legs could be exposed when caught between the cat's claws.
In a private cinema in a shopping mall, there should not be all kinds of crawlers everywhere, especially in this season, there are not many traces of bugs even in the park, let alone an environment like a shopping mall.
Forensic doctor Zhang quickly took the tools and carefully took out the dead insect from the cat's claws.
The appearance of the insect also stunned everyone present.
