Chapter 21: Come back home
Xu Jian, who turned back in the morning, went out happily. At noon he became a poor little cat and sighed at the door handle of the public toilet.
He was locked in this small compartment.
This door handle does not allow him to hang his whole body on the door handle like Qin Chen's family, and then use the weight of his body to press the door handle down to open the door. This is a thick metal piece that can be rotated, and the door is inward. It's open.
Xu Jian stood upright and leaned against the door, trying to reach the handle with his claws, but at most he touched the metal piece, but he didn't have the strength to turn it.
Lifting the meat mat and pulling the metal sheet many times failed, Xu Jian finally had to give up in frustration.
A little irritably, he turned a few times in the compartment, and Xu Jian looked at the gap between the door panel and the floor tiles.
The gap was only as wide as the palm of an adult. After looking at the gap and then looking down at his growing fat cat body, Xu Jian was thinking about the possibility of getting out of the analysis.
If it were placed in the past, Xu Jian would definitely be able to squeeze it out, but he was recently rounded up by Qin Chenyang. What if he is afraid that he can't get out at that time, and still gets stuck?
He didn't want to be seen as ugly as he stuck on the toilet door.
Xu Jian walked into the gap, first stretched out his claws and gestured the size of the gap, then pressed the flesh on his abdomen, weighing it in his heart——
It seems...you can try?
The two pointed ears on the top of the head moved. Finally, driven by the idea that "cats are liquid in nature", Xu Jian decided to give it a try instead of sitting and waiting.
If unfortunately it gets stuck, as long as someone comes in and sees it later, he shouldn't abandon his poor little cat.
Thinking like this in his heart, Xu Jian slowly approached the door panel and glanced at the dirty toilet floor tiles. After only two seconds of hesitation, he closed his eyes and fell on the ground.
Xu Jian first stretched out a cat's paw to find it, then his head, and then another cat's paw...
After Xu Jian squeezed out from the gap below, he turned his head to look at his back. When he came out, his back was hurt by the door panel. For a moment, he suspected that his back was shaved bald.
However, Xu Jian took a look and found that it was okay. Although he had lost a lot of hair, it was still far from bald.
He swiftly jumped onto the washbasin specially set up for children in the public toilet, pulling the cart until his back hurt Xu Jian grinning.
Looking at the dirty white cat in the mirror, Xu Jian was helpless and angry.
I knew I would become a cat so soon, what did I do for a long time?
Thinking of him for a long time, he borrowed his mobile phone and cashed out a temporary ID card, but now it's okay. There is nothing left except a hairy coat.
The thought that the huge amount of 10,000 yuan he borrowed only eats a bowl of noodles and the rest is missing, Xu Jianxin is bleeding.
If he had known 10,000 yuan, he would not be wrong. He shouldn't have wronged himself just now. What kind of beef noodles and steak are not good?
In order to take the bus directly to the train station, Xu Jian asked the noodle shop owner to find him a few coins, but now he has not left a single piece of steel.
There was also a temporary ID that was so difficult to obtain. Xu Jian has basically been busy with that piece of paper for a long time when he became a human, but the result is gone.
While washing the hair on his belly with his paws, Xu Jian thought in his heart what happened today:
When he woke up, the compartment door was still locked from inside, proving that no one had come in during his drowsiness, and that all his things were picked up by others, but disappeared out of thin air.
Xu Jian felt that everything that happened to him was too illusory, and he was a little at a loss as to what he should do next.
He only knew Qin Shen in Nanfeng City, but he did not say goodbye. He also took a set of clothes and lost it!
Xu Jian's heart hurts even more when he thinks that Qin Chen's suit is probably worth more than 10,000 yuan.
He felt that he had lost his life this time.
Before Xu Jian cleaned up his hair, a middle-aged man came in from the outside with a hurried expression covering his stomach. He opened the curtain and saw a white cat squatting on the sink with the faucet on. One of the white cat’s pads is under the tap to receive a small stream of water...
Xu Jian turned his head when he heard the movement, and then had a big eye with the middle-aged man.
Xu Jian's cat's claws were still in the air, and when he saw the middle-aged man holding his stomach, his tail dangling under the sink, then tilted his head and opened his mouth to the man:
"Meow meow?"
Uncle, do you have a stomachache and become a cat?
Uncle: "..."
It's strange that a middle-aged man can understand Xu Jian's cat language, so he watched Xu Jian and paused for two seconds, then continued to walk inside, saying to himself:
"Whose cat ran to the toilet to play with the water? It doesn't smell too bad."
Xu Jian, who was washing his hair, became stiff: "..."
You just play with water in the toilet!
Xu Jian stood up and shook the water on his body, then slapped the water on the tap with a cat's palm.
Walking out of the public toilet, a gust of wind blew by, Xu Jian trembled all over, and his wet belly was a little cold by the wind.
He bounced twice to shake off the water droplets on his body. Xu Jian looked at the streets on the left and right. He was homeless and prepared to go back to Qin Chen in the end.
After all, in his huge Nanfeng City, he only knew Qin Shen.
When I came to the police station in the morning, the kind girl who lent him her mobile phone not only showed him the way, because not far away she helped him sweep a shared bicycle on the side of the road.
Xu Jian didn't feel far when he was riding a bike, but now it is not so easy to walk back on four legs.
Going back with the memory, while walking Xu Jian, regret and sigh in my heart——
He had known this would not leave the community!
…………
Just as Xu Jian returned to the community with his legs, Qin Chen, who couldn't find the cat, was already frantic. He looked at the property and said:
"Why didn't you see it? He obviously ran out of the balcony."
The property also feels a bit weird, but more helpless:
"You have also watched the surveillance video of Mr. Qin. During the time you mentioned, you did not see your cat in other parts of the community."
Because the owners of Qin Chen and his community are either rich or expensive, and there are many public figures like Qin Chen, in order to protect the privacy of the owners, no monitoring is installed after they get out of the elevator.
Therefore, the scene when Xu Jian probed the brain out of Qin Shen's house was not recorded by surveillance.
Qin Chen was anxious and asked the property to replay the surveillance again. He watched the video taken by each camera during the period from when he went out to his home intently, but found nothing.
Seeing the loss on Qin Chen's face, a property owner couldn't help but tentatively speak:
"If there is nowhere, will your cat not leave the room at all?"
The other property also nodded: "There is a possibility, would you fall asleep in which corner Mr. Qin did you not find?"
After listening to them, Qin Chen frowned:
"I looked all under the sofa, no."
Property: "Where are the discarded cartons from the washing machine? Cats like to get into these places to play."
Qin Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he hadn't seen the washing machine.
After saying goodbye to the property, Qin Chen, with a little hope in his heart, rushed home, hoping that his milk was asleep in a corner of the house as the property said.
After Qin Chen left, a property owner turned his head and said to his colleague with some exclamation:
"I didn't expect Qin Chen to look coldly at ordinary times, and to be so caring about his cat, and that the cat was so anxious to get angry when he disappeared."
The colleague nodded in agreement:
"I can see that he is really anxious. I have seen his cat before. It's pretty. It would be a pity if I lose it like this."
"But it's also mysterious. Except for the building, there are basically no dead spots in our community. Why can't we see a cat? It shouldn't be."
"Maybe the cat really didn't go out."
After Qin Chen got home, he almost turned the house upside down and didn't see Xu Jian's cat shadow. He even took the washing machine out and almost took it apart. He still didn't even see a single cat hair.
Qin Chen didn't believe in evil, and ran to the cloakroom again, ready to look for each wardrobe to see if there was a cat in any corner.
When he took the clothes out one by one, Qin Chen felt a little familiar when he encountered a thin sweater.
When did you buy this dress? So familiar, where did you seem to have seen it?
Thinking like this in his heart, Qin Chen took out the sweater and shook it. With the sound of his movements, the coins fell on the floor.
Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he saw a coin dropped by his feet, and another one rolled away from his feet.
Qin Chen was puzzled: "Why are there coins in my clothes?"
While speaking, Qin Chen shook his sweater twice again. No coins fell this time, but a pile of red banknotes fell.
Seeing the hundred yuan bills falling out of his sweater pocket and spreading all over the floor, Qin Chen was really shocked—
Why is there so much money in this dress?
Qin Chen squatted down and looked at the colorful spots in Wan Hong: "Since the denomination is fifty or twenty."
Qin Chen looked at the clothes in his hand and frowned. He didn't remember when he wore this clothes and put so much cash in it...
Looking at the sweater for a few seconds, Qin Chen flashed a flash of light, and finally remembered why he felt that this dress was familiar.
This sweater is the same style as that of the boy he saw downstairs in the community in the morning.
And even the colors are the same.
Just when Qin Chen was standing in the pile of money and wondering what a coincidence might happen, Xu Jian, who had walked for almost an hour and had four pads hurt, finally walked back.
Xu Jian originally thought he would scratch the door for a while before Qin Chen heard the movement and opened the door for him, but when he came up, he was surprised to find that the door was not closed.
Opening the door with his head, Xu Jian was shocked when he saw a mess in the house—is this the thief in the house? ?
Was there such a mess in the house when he left? Qin Shen?
Hearing the movement in the master bedroom, Xu Jian's heart was stunned.
The thief hasn't left yet? Are you looking for valuables?
Xu Jian subconsciously held his breath and approached the master bedroom, thinking that if he saw the thief later, he would immediately rush up and scratch his face to scare him away.
When he walked to the door of the master bedroom, Xu Jian took a deep breath, and then rushed in with all four legs:
"Meow—"
I have found you, hurry up and put down the things in your hands!
In the next second, Xu Jian, who was pretending to be vicious with a grin, met Qin Chen who was picking up money from the ground, and looked at each other.
Qin Chen was startled by Xu Jian who screamed when he came out, and was taken aback when he saw that it was him, and then got up in ecstasy:
"milk!"
As soon as Qin Chen reacted, Xu Jian had already seen the sweater thrown by him and the large amount of cash that had not yet been cleaned up on the ground.
Xu Jian: "!!!"
His ten thousand yuan! !
