"That's right." Su Mufeng nodded: "Those cats were not actually looking at us just now, but at the cat slaves."
"And I don't know if you have noticed, but the cat slave seems to have a lot of new scars on his body. Although they are not serious, they must have been scratched by the cat."
"Isn't that right? The cat slave has been serving these cats in this Mao Mansion all year round and calls these cats family. How could these cats attack him?" Zhu Xian scratched his head: "Could he have seen it wrong?"
"Maybe." Su Mufeng also felt a little incomprehensible and nodded.
"Haha, Nephew Su Xian, why didn't you say hello before you came!" At this moment, a loud laugh came from outside the door, and a moment later Mao Yuanwai walked in from the outside and said to Su Mufeng with a smile.
"Junior Su Mufeng, I have met Mr. Mao." Su Mufeng stood up quickly and saluted.
"Oh, we don't have to be so polite, please take a seat, please take a seat." Mao Yuanwai said and walked to the main seat and sat down. He smiled and looked at Su Mufeng: "My nephew is here this time, but is there anything you need my help with?" ?”
"To be honest, there is indeed one." Su Mufeng also sat down and said, "But where is the doorman we saw last time? Why didn't we see him this time?"
"Haha, you are talking about him." Officer Mao said with a smile: "Oh, don't mention it. Last time you came here, I discovered that although this child is smart and nimble with his hands and feet, he is far behind in etiquette. That is, My dear nephew, you are so generous. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid I would have offended the other person."
"So I found a private school and asked him to follow that person to learn knowledge for a year and a half. He didn't seek academic success, but he sought knowledge and integrity. Don't offend anyone again in the future."
"Where is this? That child is obviously very cute. I like it very much." Su Mufeng said with a smile: "But it is always a good thing to learn some rules. I just didn't expect that a member of the staff would be so thoughtful and care so much about a disciple. child."
"What Nephew Su Xian said is true. That little boy was originally the child of my housekeeper in Beijing. When I left Beijing and returned home, my housekeeper came back with me. However, when we arrived in Beizhen, the housekeeper was ill because of his health. He passed away, leaving only this young child, so I took care of him," Mao Yuanwai said.
"Yuan Wai really has the heart of a Bodhisattva." Su Mufeng nodded and said in a different tone: "By the way, Yuan Wai, do you know the wife of Beizhen blacksmith Du San?"
"Huh?" Officer Mao shook his hand, and then smiled: "I know Du San. Many of the iron tools in my house are made by him, but how can I know his wife?"
"But when we investigated the cause of Du San's death last time, she said she was familiar with the staff." Su Mufeng said.
"This..." Mao Yuanwai frowned, hesitated and said: "If I have to say it, it seems that this woman once delivered iron tools to me with Du San, and I have seen her once and a half. Maybe it's because This, she said, she is familiar with me."
"That's right." At this point, Mao Yuanwai changed his voice and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Du San was killed by the cat god a few days ago, leaving her alone as a widow. I think it will be difficult to live in the future. Maybe. She said she was familiar with me because she wanted to avoid some trouble in my name. In that case, let's get acquainted."
"After all, I have some friendship with that Du San." Then Mao Yuanwai said to Su Mufeng: "It is indeed pitiful for a woman to be widowed at a young age. I also asked Nephew Su Xian to keep this secret and keep it secret from the outside world. Let’s just say I’m really familiar with her.”
"So Yuanwai is not afraid of affecting Yuanwai's reputation?" Zhu Xian said.
"Haha, child, you are still young. Reputation is not something that will be ruined just because you are not familiar with anyone." Mao Yuanwai said: "Behave properly and do it rightly, but you must have a clear conscience. As time goes by, People will naturally know what kind of person you are."
"Executive officers are very righteous." Su Mufeng sighed longly: "But Mrs. Du Sanni doesn't need to be taken care of by other officers. She was also killed last night."
"What!" Mao Yuanwai frowned and stood up suddenly: "Is this serious?"
"It's absolutely true, Mrs. Du Sanni's body is in the inn." Su Mufeng nodded.
"This, alas..." Mao Yuanwai let out a long sigh, and then sat down: "He is really a pitiful man."
"By the way, there was also the cat slave of your mansion at the scene where Mrs. Du Sanni was killed." Su Mufeng said: "He was also injured by the black cat, but he was lucky enough to survive."
"Cat slave? What is he doing there?" Mao Yuanwai frowned: "Wait, nephew, you are talking about midnight? How could this cheap slave do such a thing!"
"There's no need to be angry, outside the staff." Su Mufeng said hurriedly: "The cat slave said that Mrs. Du Sanni was looking for him. She must have something to ask for, but she was killed before she could say anything."
"What can we do to him?" Mao Yuanwai shook his head.
"I don't know." Su Mufeng said, "By the way, there is one more thing. We heard that there were not so many wild cats in Beizhen in the past. Since the members came back, there have been more wild cats, right?"
"Well, how did I know this?" Member Mao spread his hands in confusion: "You must have heard about my situation. I was so discouraged when I returned to Beizhen, how could I care to pay attention to this?"
"When I noticed, I found that there were many wild cats inside and outside the house. Seeing how cute these wild cats were, I felt compassion and got some food to raise them."
"As time went by, I also became quite fond of these cats, and then I got the title of Cat Guy."
"In other words, the members don't know about the wild cats?" Su Mufeng asked.
"I don't know." Mao said.
Since Mao Yuanwai had denied it, Su Mufeng did not continue to ask. After a few simple greetings with Mao Yuanwai, Su Mufeng and the other three said goodbye again and left here.
However, what Su Mufeng didn't expect was that as soon as they left the cat village, they bumped into Eunuch Chu who was leading more than ten government servants.
Eunuch Chu said that he was going to the black cat's lair to kill the black cat, and asked Su Mufeng if he wanted to go together.
But Su Mufeng rejected Eunuch Chu's invitation, saying that he still had unresolved matters.
After Eunuch Chu led the people to leave, Su Mufeng did not leave immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked Zhu Xian to return to the cat farm to guard him.
It's impossible for Eunuch Chu to stage such a big battle without alarming the people in Maozhuang. If Mao Yuanwai is related to the black cat, he will definitely find a way to protect the black cat. What Su Mufeng wants is to know what Mao Yuanwai plans to do!
