"This is..." Su Mufeng raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xian, then said in a deep voice: "Schizonepeta?"
"Yes." Zhu Xian nodded and said, "I found this in the corner of the scene, just a little bit. I went to the drug store and asked about it. This thing seems to make cats crazy."
"Indeed." Su Mufeng nodded: "Nepeta is also called catnip. The smell it emits can make cats active, excited, and even attack things around them."
"So I'm wondering if the murderer used this thing to attract black cats to attack the deceased?" Zhu Xian said solemnly: "And I found out that this nepeta plant was planted outside Mao Yuan's house."
"It's possible, but it's difficult." Su Mufeng shook his head: "Although Nepeta can stimulate cats, it is far from causing cats to kill people. Otherwise, wouldn't the drug store have been attacked by cats long ago?"
"Besides, in most cases, even if a cat smells Nepeta, it just likes to roll around on the ground, as excited as if it was drunk, and will not attack others casually."
"As for Mao Yuan's family, it is not incomprehensible for cat lovers like that to plant some Nepeta to attract cats."
"Ah, that's it. I thought that with this, I could be identified as a member of the Communist Party of China." Zhu Xian said with a slight blush.
"If that's the case, shouldn't you arrest the drug store owner first?" Su Mufeng said with a smile, "But it's not completely useless. If someone..."
"Su Si Zhi" At this moment, an attendant walked in quickly and said to Su Mufeng: "The man named Cat Slave is awake."
"Oh? Come and give me a pillow if you feel sleepy." Su Mufeng's eyes lit up: "Come on, let's go take a look."
Soon, Su Mufeng and Zhu Xian rushed to a room. When they opened the door, they saw the cat slave, covered in cloth, curled up in the corner and shivering, with her head buried between her knees. , seems to be afraid of something.
"Cat slave." Su Mufeng came to the cat slave and called softly.
Hearing Su Mufeng's voice, the cat slave raised his head cautiously, glanced at it, then lowered his head again, and made a sound like a mosquito: "Master Su."
"How do you feel now?" Su Mufeng asked, "Do you have any symptoms like fever?"
"No, no, I'm fine." The cat slave did not raise his head, but continued to whisper: "Thank you, Master Su. I want to go home."
"Go home? Cat Village? But your health is not good now, and I don't know if the black cat will attack you again." Su Mufeng said softly.
"No, he didn't attack me!" After hearing this, the cat slave suddenly raised his head, and a trace of fanaticism burst out in his eyes: "That, that is the messenger of the Cat God, he, he chose me! He is not attacking me, he I was chosen!”
"You were selected?" Zhu Xian frowned when he heard this: "You almost died, you know? If it weren't for your luck, you would have..."
"Okay!" Su Mufeng raised his hand to interrupt Zhu Xian's words, and then said to the cat slave: "Cat slave, you said that the cat god chose you, did you know him in the past? Can you tell us what happened to you last night? What?"
"I went to see the lady last night." When the cat slave heard this, she buried her head again and said in a very soft voice, "Madam, she was also chosen by the Cat God."
"Madam? Are you talking about Madam Du San? How do you know her? What were you two doing at midnight yesterday?" Su Mufeng asked again.
"Madam, Madam is a very nice person. She saw Du San... so she gave me medicine, and she was very nice to me later." Cat Slave said, "Yesterday, Madam came to me and said she had something to tell me, so she It was decided there and at that time, but we just met and before she said anything, the Cat God chose her."
"The cat god hugged her from behind and she fell to the ground, and then the cat god came and hugged me."
"But she wanted to run away. She wanted to escape while the Cat God was baptizing me, so the Cat God chased her and baptized her."
"She, how is she? What did she want to see me for yesterday?"
"She is dead." Su Mufeng said solemnly: "She died after her throat was bitten by a black cat."
"Dead?" The cat slave raised his head, glanced at Su Mufeng, then lowered his head again and murmured: "It's great, she has gone to the embrace of the Cat God."
"Crazy, crazy, he is really crazy!" Zhu Xian patted his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Du San is dead!"
"That's great..." However, the cat slave seemed not to hear Zhu Xian's words, but murmured again.
Then the cat slave suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Mufeng: "Master Su, I want to go home. I miss my cat."
"If you insist," Su Mufeng nodded: "Then go back. Do you need me to send someone to protect you?"
"No need, I know the way." After hearing Su Mufeng's permission, the cat slave carefully got off the ground and staggered outside.
Seeing this situation, Su Mufeng gave the guard a look, and the guard immediately understood and followed him silently.
After the guards left, Su Mufeng looked at Zhu Xian again: "What do you think?"
"As far as I know, Mrs. Du San has no friendship with the cat slave. How did the two of them get involved? Was he the one Mrs. Du San wanted to find yesterday?" Zhu Xian said with a frown.
"Perhaps." Su Mufeng nodded: "But if the relationship between them is according to what the cat slave said, there is no need for Madam Du San to dress up during the day."
"So either Madam Du San's relationship with the cat slave is not that simple, or else it's not the cat slave that Madam Du San wants to meet."
"But if Madam Du Sanni wanted to see a cat slave, why did she find a cat slave in the middle of the night?" Zhu Xian asked doubtfully, and then his eyes lit up: "Wait! Young Master, is Madam Du Sanda thinking? What you want to see is not actually the cat slave, but someone behind the cat slave?"
"Look, if there is a person who is not clear with Madam Du San, but due to his identity, he is unable to meet Madam Du San openly and can only use a cat slave to contact Madam Du San, isn't that right? Does this explain why Mrs. Du Sanni made an appointment with the cat slave in the middle of the night?"
"You mean..." Su Mufeng frowned: "Exceptor Mao Yuan?"
"It's very possible that it's him. You see, if Mao Yuanwai was involved with Mrs. Du San and asked the cat slave to secretly connect the dots, Du San found out, so Mao Yuanwai killed Du San." Zhu Xian said: "Then Du San After three deaths, Mrs. Du Sanni thought she could sleep and fly with Mao Yuanwai, but it turned out that Mao Yuanwai actually had no such idea."
"In addition, Comrade Mao found out that we were investigating this case, and at the same time found out that we had found Mrs. Du Sanni's head, so murderous intent arose in his heart."
"So I let the cat slave take advantage of the night to lure out Lady Du San, and tried to attract the black cat through Nepeta and kill the cat slave and Lady Du San!"
"In this way, all the insiders are dead, and he, except for Member Mao, can sit back and relax!"
"Damn it!" Then, Zhu Xian scratched his head in annoyance: "But it's just like what you said during the day, and there's still no evidence!"
