can't go wild

Aino didn't run away, but kept a close distance from the cat.When the cat took a step closer, he took a step back, and the cat turned away, but he chased after it again, as if playing hide-and-seek with the cats.

The Paramount became a stage for hide-and-seek. Aino circled around and entered through the back door.

He wanted to find the black cat, but he searched almost everywhere and confirmed the characteristics of each cat, but he still couldn't find the target.

But he had an intuition that the black cat must still be here.Its existence must be related to the stray cats in this house.And so many cats live here, what do they eat?

Even if they can catch mice, they can't all live so well, can they?None of the cats in this group were skinny.

Aino searched around Paramount, but couldn't find any fixed feeding place, but opened the backstage window and looked out, and vaguely saw some fish bones in the grass under the window sill.

He went out through the window, peeled off the grass with branches, followed the place where the fish bones fell, and found more than one fish bone.

fish?

Aino Fukuchi looked at the island in the center of the lake in his heart, and after a while, he came to the edge of the lake.Last night he was busy crossing the bridge, and it was dark, so he didn't see the situation in the water clearly. Looking at it now, there are indeed fish in the lake, and they are the most common kind of crucian carp.

But Aino is sure that crucian carp was raised in this ring-shaped lake at first. Who would raise freshwater fish in an amusement park?He quickly walked around the lake, and sure enough, he saw a fallen wooden sign with the words "feeding place" written on it, so there is a high probability that koi or goldfish are raised in this lake for tourists to enjoy. .

Turning around, Aino came to the island again.

The police had already set up a temporary floating bridge here, so Aino walked up it easily, but just halfway there, he heard the sound of "meow" coming from behind him again.He turned his head and saw the little orange cat he met at first followed, and was testing back and forth on the edge of the bridge.

It stretched out its paws to touch the bridge, and then retracted quickly.But he retracted, and couldn't help stretching out his paws again, and so on and on, and finally stopped there pitifully, looking at Aino eagerly.

Aino continued to remain expressionless, and after his eyes swept over the railing on the shore, a few cat ears and whiskers betrayed his identity as a voyeur.Those cats have followed, what are they following?Do you want Aino to catch fish for them to eat?

This is impossible.

Aino turned around and left, landed on the island, and checked carefully along the lake, not missing any suspicious details.

There are indeed traces of people's activities here, but Cang has lived here for so many years, it is normal to have traces.For example, Aino found half a grain of dry corn in a crack in a brick.

Two-thirds of the way through, Aino met the little orange cat again.

The little orange cat squatted on a stone pier on the shore, weak, pitiful and helpless.Aino was about to walk past him without looking sideways, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a special mark on the stone bricks on the shore less than one meter away from it.

He walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee to check.There are four such traces in total, the distribution is very even, and they are all traces of wear and tear, very similar to - chair legs.

Some people sit here, and the time must not be short, day after day, year after year, they are always in the same position, so that the legs of the chair have obvious marks on the ground.

What is he doing?

Fishing?

Aino thought for a while, then turned and walked into the hotel.It was facing the entrance of the back kitchen of the hotel. The door was unlocked. Aino pushed the door open and went in, and found that there was no obvious dust accumulation here.

I think so, Cang lives here, he must eat, so the kitchen must have its uses.But the hall and corridor on the first floor outside were still covered with dust, and below this kitchen, if Aino remembered the floor plan correctly, it should be a wine cellar.

How did Cang get in and out of the wine cellar and back kitchen?

Although Aino hadn't rested for a long time and his body was exhausted, his thoughts were very smooth.People say that going to bed late produces miracles, but Aino is saying that if you don't sleep late, you will find the truth.

He quickly found the food delivery elevator. At this time, the power supply in the hotel had been restored, because the hotel had its own generator.The police collected the remains here last night, and the generator has been working.

Opening the elevator, Aino stretched out his hand to wipe the inside of the elevator car, and brought it up to his nose to smell it. There was indeed a smell of wine, and there were faintly visible footprints.Although this food delivery elevator is not big, it is more than enough to accommodate a person.

Turning his head to scan the back kitchen, Aino opened the cabinet door and refrigerator one by one to confirm that there was not much rice and noodles left, but they were all fresh.There is also a small walnut-colored wooden chair, which is very old, in the corner, and there is a small basket next to it, which contains a lot of fishing gear.

Very good, with the tools for the crime, Aino immediately returned to the shore with the small chair and basket, and put the chair on the four scuff marks, it fit perfectly.

People who fish may really have obsessive-compulsive disorder and have to sit in the same place every time.

At this time, Xing Zhou sent a message to Xiangye through the Happy Fighting the Landlord app.

Xing:?

Aino: No time.

Xing Zhou called directly, "What are you doing?"

Aino: "Fishing."

Xing Zhou: "Island in the middle of the lake?"

It has to be said that Xing Zhou seemed to be able to keep up with Aino's jumping thoughts every time, and he took it calmly and calmly every time.Aino then explained: "There are many cats here."

Imitation is one of the effective ways to explore a person's heart, so Aino has caught on.

He also likes fishing.When he lived in the unfinished building, in order to improve his food, he often went fishing in a nearby pond. Among the fishing friends in that circle, he was the youngest one.A classmate of Aino's once bumped into him there by chance once, and he was grabbed by his father. Seeing his father call "brother" to Aino, he had a magical expression.

When the news spread, the students did not understand Aino.Because even if they occasionally make appointments to go fishing in the wild and eat barbecue, they are seldom like Aino, mixing with a group of middle-aged uncles, sitting all afternoon without moving a gun.

Later, the school held a sports meeting, and the head teacher stipulated that everyone must fill in the items they are interested in on the list, and finally select the best for admission.With a swipe of his pen, Aino wrote two words in the blank space: Fishing.

Running is not suitable for him, he only likes fishing, a relatively static activity.After year after year of hard training, he has finally grown into a fishing master.

While fishing, Aino asked, "Has anyone been found?"

"I found her foothold, but she ran away early." There was a sound of rummaging for things from Xing Zhou's side, "She should have found the scent of agarwood, and if she traced it from here, the scent would be gone. But she I left in a hurry, and there are still some things left here that have not been destroyed."

Aino: "Is there any direction?"

Xing Zhou: "It's not obvious yet."

Then you can only bring it back and check it carefully.

Aino didn't ask any more questions, and after a brief chat with Xing Zhou, he searched the local forum of Mingchuan on the Internet and began to browse aimlessly.

Jueming has sorted out the news about Mingchuan in recent years, but the focus is on the disappearance case, which is not what Aino is looking for.He had a vague guess in his mind, and it was on the verge of his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

Black cats, more cats, fish, perverted murderers, bugs, missing cases, what kind of story can this series of information connect?

While thinking about it, a fish has been hooked.Aino watched the buoy move a few times, and finally closed the pole with confidence. "Crack" the crucian carp landed on the bank with its tail flicking. Xiangye caught it, took off the hook, and threw it to the little orange cat.

The little orange cat was not polite at all, jumped off the stone pier, picked up the crucian carp and left.

Aino was very calm, and sat down to continue fishing while swiping his phone.

But within a minute, when he subconsciously glanced to the side again, he was stunned.A group of cats squatted next to his chair, looking up at him, as if saying: Where is my fish?

Damn cat, walks without a sound.

"Go." Aino issued an expulsion order.

"Meow." I don't understand.

Aino didn't dare to move, for fear that if he accidentally touched them, they would get stained with cat hair.He could only continue fishing, catching one after another, sending one away and another group coming.

After fishing for half an hour, Xiangye felt that the experience was almost enough, so he threw away the fishing rod, stood on the chair, jumped onto the stone pier, and leaped out of the cat group with a big stride, like a vigorous black panther, leaping into the fish. back kitchen.

"Bang." The door closed.

Aino went to the window and looked at the cats, see, he got rid of them anyway, it was that simple.

Clapping his hands, Aino entered the 3rd floor from the Chuancai elevator, and the exit was a small banquet hall.Going out from here, the situation is the same as last night, the blood-stained corridor mixed with messy footsteps.All the bones were taken away, leaving only vats of blood wine, exuding a sinful smell.

But he still couldn't find the black cat. Could it be that it was really a product of an illusion and didn't actually exist?

Aino did not believe in this evil.

He found Cang's room again, a very ordinary room without too many decorations, but a telescope was placed on the desk by the window.Pick up the binoculars and look out, the meandering river is in the distance.

and many more.

Overlook, ascend?

Aino leaned out the window and glanced upstairs.He remembered that Xing Zhou once went to the roof after entering the illusion, and the fake Aino once said something like "Mingchuan" on the roof.

Maybe he should go up and take a look, too.

Aino did as soon as he thought of it, but he didn't climb up from the outer wall as rigidly as Xing Zhou. He went directly to the attic, where there was a skylight to go up to the roof.

The view from the roof is really good, and there is a black cat squatting on the ridge.It turned around and saw Aino, looking at him with golden vertical pupils, still the same as last night.

At the same time, the battle on Zong Mian's side finally came to an end.

Zong Mian locked the car, trapped Cang in the car, and took Ah Liang with thunder.Of course, Ah Liang has more than one companion, but assassins like Zong Mian all use agility and fast attack.He was not in love with fighting, and after taking down A Liang, he had to leave immediately even though he was injured. The car sped away all the way, and returned to the boundary of Mingchuan again 3 minutes ago.
