Lin Xue continued to search along the corridor and soon discovered more arrow holes.
There are them on the walls, on the ground, on the windows, everywhere. Judging from the situation, the hooded men should be chasing them all the way, shooting forward while chasing them.
But what makes Lin Xue most strange is that with so many arrow holes, she couldn't find even one arrow?
This makes absolutely no sense!
From the time the hooded man took action until Xiaohai and the others went upstairs, it only took two or three minutes.
In such a short period of time, the hooded man is still busy hunting the 'ghost', and it is impossible for him to have time to remove all the traces of arrows along the way... Unless, these arrows can be automatically eliminated without him recycling them?
Lin Xue quickly shook her head.
This idea is even more outrageous. As far as she knows, even the most cutting-edge materials science laboratories have not developed materials that can automatically decompose and withstand the intensity of shooting.
After checking around, Lin Xue was suddenly startled when she returned to the stairs here again.
Under the illumination of the searchlight in the distance, she vaguely saw something on the ground that seemed to reflect the light!
Lin Xue stepped forward, searched the surroundings carefully, and finally pushed aside a pile of gravel in the corner and picked out a plastic tag only the size of a fingernail.
'Funny cat stick¥3.00'
The content on the label seems to be a product label in a supermarket or store.
Judging from the traces at the scene, the hooded man should have experienced a struggle here, and this tag fell from his body during the struggle.
At this time, there was still a strand of fur hanging on the edge of the tag, which seemed to be some kind of animal.
"This length and texture should be cat hair...the color is black at the top and white at the bottom...short?"
With his rich knowledge of zoology, Lin Xue quickly identified the origin of this hair.
Pet product label, a shorthair cat, plus a bottle of veterinary anesthetic...
These are all the clues that can be found at the scene. However, a place where these three things can be found at the same time is already on the horizon.
Lin Xue turned on her phone and dialed a number.
"Miss? The car is ready. Do I need to take you back immediately?" A female voice came from the mobile phone.
"Bring the car over, I'll leave right away... Also, help me check some things."
"What?"
"I want information on all pet shops in K city!"
…
Mu You didn't know that someone was already chasing his clues.
After leaving the lumber factory, he went straight to the road outside, hoping to take a taxi home.
However, in the early hours of the morning, in this remote suburb, the difficulty of getting a taxi is not much different from winning the lottery jackpot. Mu You waited for a moment, but didn't even see the taillights of the car, so he simply stopped waiting and trotted back.
More than twenty kilometers, he had never dared to think about it before.
But now, the whole journey only took an hour, and there was still plenty of energy left.
When we returned to the pet shop, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Mu You went to take a shower, then opened the refrigerator, took out an iced Coke, and drank half of the bottle to lower his hot body temperature.
At this time, the shorthair cat has automatically got out of the backpack and is walking around the house curiously, inspecting its future new home.
"Is this your house?"
"It's quite big..."
"I didn't expect you to have so many familiars. Are you a familiar dealer?"
"Your familiars are too weak, I can hit them all with just one claw!"
…
The short girl was chattering and rubbing herself around the house, leaving her own scent.
The little animals in the cage seemed to be a little afraid of Meitu. When they saw it approaching, they huddled in the corner in silence, not daring to move.
"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet."
Mu You watched the reactions of those little animals with curiosity, and said to Meituan: "My name is Mu You, and I am the owner of this pet shop. What is your name?"
At this time, Mei Dan also paused his inspection, jumped up on the desk, and swung his tail: "My name is Krissy Fuya Swinburne Joseph...Ferguson Kane Sphinx."
The beautiful girl said a long list of at least a dozen names, which confused Mu You.
"What?" Mu You asked in a single word.
He just wanted to simply ask for his name, who knew it would lead to such a long list of things.
"My name is Chrissy Swinburne..."
Meidan wanted to introduce it again without any trouble. Muyou hurriedly gave it a pause gesture: "Stop!"
"All the creatures in your star spirit world have such long names?" Mu You looked at it with a strange expression.
"The first seven are my master's name and family tree, meow, the last eight are my family tree, and the last one is my name. My master usually calls me Sphinx!" Mei Dan said.
"It's still too long..."
Mu You shook his head and looked down at the empty drink bottle in his hand: "From now on, I'm screaming 'Coke'!"
"Coke...what is this thing?"
"Cola, also known as 'happy water', is a delicacy that no one can refuse." Mu You said.
"Meow! When you mentioned delicious food, I remembered it. Where's the food? Get me some food quickly. I'm going to starve to death!" The short-haired girl kept chirping.
Mu You stood up helplessly, went to the shelf and cupboard, took out a half-eaten pack of cat food, then found the empty food bowl where the cats and dogs had been, and poured a full bowl of cat food into it: "Here, Let’s get to work.”
The American short boy walked over suspiciously, circled the food bowl a few times, and quickly raised his head in disgust: "You just let me eat this? How can I eat something like this?"
"Then what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat slugs!"
"Nima, you have such a strong taste, you actually eat snot?" Mu You looked at Meidan with disgust.
"It's not snot, it's slug. Slug is a kind of worm that is special in the forest of the astral world. It is rich in nutrients, smooth and delicious, and can also increase magic power. It is an excellent feed for familiars!" Coke swung his tail and meowed. Non-stop: "I have been eating slugs since I was a child. I will have diarrhea if I eat those low-grade feeds!"
"You also said that bugs are a specialty of your star spirit world. This is the earth. Where can I find them for you?" Mu You rolled his eyes and put a pile of cat food bowls in front of it: "Anyway, This is the only food I have here, so I’m just asking you if you want to eat it?”
"I will not eat!"
Cola also jumped up and argued: "Even if I starve to death and die outside, I will never take a bite of this kind of garbage feed!"
"Then you go hungry!"
Mu You curled his lips, ignored it, turned around and went upstairs to sleep.
As a pet shop owner, he knows very well that picky eating is a problem that must not be tolerated. If you have this problem, you must cure it on the spot!
"By the way, the cat litter box is over there. You should poop in the cat litter box. Also, you are not allowed to bully the little animals in the store. If I get up tomorrow morning and see that there are no animals in that cage, I will stew you. !" Before entering the door, Mu You didn't forget to turn around and give a friendly warning.
"Bah, you scumbag! That's not what you said when you brought me here..."
Seeing Mu You disappear on the second floor, Coke cursed and howled twice to vent his anger.
Turning around, it looked at the food bowl filled with dark particles in front of it, swallowed, saliva secreted in its mouth, and hurriedly strengthened its belief in its heart: "No, no, I am such a sphinx." How can I eat this kind of thing due to my identity... But it really smells good, why does it smell so good... I really want to eat it..."
Feeling the violent hunger in his stomach, Coke finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stretched out his paws, picked up a piece of cat food from the basin, held it in his hands and licked it.
"Meow?" Coke's eyes suddenly widened.
What follows is crazy gobbling!
"Meow, it's so delicious. Meow, how could there be such delicious food..."
