The cat is not afraid of him.

This point, Gin was aware of when he brought the cat in front of his eyes.

The cat didn't repel him, instead it kept crawling into his arms, as if it could avoid the thing it was afraid of, and it didn't make a sound halfway, which showed that it was extremely scared.

Qin Jiu had never had a pet before, and was a little at a loss when faced with this cat's "throwing into his arms and hugging him". He clumsily hugged it tightly and asked tentatively, "Can you... understand me?"

The cat didn't move, but its ears stood up straight.

Qin Jiu knew it well, and continued: "If you understand, just shake your left ear."

The cat's left ear twitched twice.

This way things are simple.

He stroked the cat's fur twice with his palm, and leaned on the sink for gin, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you afraid of someone? Just shake your left ear, not your right ear."

The cat shook its left ear vigorously.

"Is that person in this carriage?"

left ear.

"Acquaintance?"

left ear.

Gin paused, then frowned and asked, "Is it your master?"

left ear.

Seeing this, Gin lifted the cat up and down to check it up and down. Although it looked frightened a lot, it was not injured. Its owner probably didn't hurt it.

Since it wasn't injured, what did its owner do to scare it like this?

"Do you want to... go back to your master?"

Gin was silent for a long time, and out of a tentative thought, he asked one more question.

Unexpectedly, when the cat in his arms heard this, his whole body stiffened, his hair exploded, and a terrified "purr" sound came out of his throat, and his eyes were full of fear and pleading.

"...Understood, I won't send you back." Gin Jiu hurriedly made amends, took the briefcase and opened it, "You hide here first, and I will take you back to my room. Remember, stay safe Come on, don't break anything inside, and don't make any noise."

The cat shook its left ear vigorously, then rushed into the bag and curled up.

Gin closed the zipper, leaving only a small opening, then stuffed the briefcase into the coat, opened the door and walked out.

When he returned to the room, the conductor had already left and closed the door for him.Because of looking for the cat, all the lights in the fifth car were on, and through the doors of other rooms, the complaints of other passengers could be vaguely heard.

Gin listened to all the insignificant whispers, and was about to enter the house, when there was a sudden furious scolding from the direction of the water dispenser.

"What are you doing for food?! Why can't you find a single cat?! Let me tell you, that forest cat is worth more than the people in the entire car. Can you afford it if you lose it?!"

"Sorry...please give us a little more time...we have checked all the passengers' rooms and really didn't see your cat..."

"Checked the room? What about the luggage? Has the luggage been checked? Maybe someone stole my cat and hid it in the luggage?"

"This... this is against the rules..."

"What's wrong with the rules. You go tell the people in this carriage that I will pay for it, and they will take out the luggage for me to check. A package is [-] yuan, is it enough?"

"Then, let's ask..."

As soon as the voice fell, the conductor's footsteps hurriedly came here.

Gin dodged into the room, took out the cat from the briefcase and put it on the bed.

"Hide in a corner. I have just been inspected here, and they won't inspect it a second time."

The cat got under the bed without hesitation, and didn't care that its white fur was stained gray with dust.

After it was hidden, Gin put the briefcase on the most conspicuous place on the table, and lay on the bed waiting for the conductor to knock on the door.

He closed his eyes, and after a while, he heard loud noises outside.

Most of the passengers were very angry when they were woken up, and asked the conductor in a very bad tone.But after hearing that someone wanted to pay to check their luggage to find a cat, their attitude improved a lot. They scrambled to open the packages and suitcases one by one, and even offered to help the conductor check.

2 yuan to look at luggage, fools know that this is a steady profit business, unless someone brings something shady, otherwise no one will refuse such a request.

Because the other passengers were very cooperative, the conductor soon came to the door of Gin and explained his purpose while knocking on the door.Hearing the voice, it was the one who found him just now.

Gin pretended to be impatient and opened the door. Just as he was about to play a full set, he yelled at the conductor, but he saw that the conductor did not come by himself, and there was another person standing beside him.

It was a tall and slender woman, wearing a floor-length red dress that outlined her graceful curves, with big silver wavy hair hanging on her chest, and a small decorative gauze hat on the right side of her head. She raised her hand, although she was agitated, But also elegant.

"I'm Zhuang Wumei." The woman squinted at Qin Jiu, and saw that he was handsome, and the indifference in her eyes faded a little, "My cat is gone, I want to see your luggage. Don't worry, it won't be in vain. I will pay you 2 yuan for the luggage."

Gin raised his eyebrows, restrained his impatience, and smiled back: "Of course. I only have a briefcase. You can look at it, but I have to take out an important document first."

"Please." Zhuang Wumei raised her chin, her tone arrogant.

Qin Jiu took out the briefcase, took out the power of attorney in front of Zhuang Wumei and the conductor, and handed the briefcase to them.

The conductor looked through it, smiled awkwardly and returned it.

"excuse me."

Zhuang Wumei took a silver bag, unzipped it, took out two [-] denomination bills and stuffed them into Gin's hands, then strode towards the next room.

2 yuan a luggage, just to find a cat, the importance of that cat to her is self-evident.But the more important it was, the weirder the cat's fear seemed.

Besides, she just said that her name is Zhuang Wumei...

Gin walked into the room, locked the lock, pushed the door against the table, and then sat on the bed.He called up the task panel, clicked on the column of the main task, and saw the name in the place where the reward was written.

The key to Zhuang Wumei's private house.

The first link of the main mission is called "Mr. Su Jiu's True and False Lover". Could it be that his lover is this Ms. Zhuang?If the answer is yes, then the word "true and false" makes the identity of this Miss Zhuang very intriguing.

Now he is looking forward to the content of Mr. Su Jiu's commission more and more.

Gin smiled slightly and closed his eyes again.

That night, none of the people in carriage five slept well.

Zhuang Wumei made a fuss all night, and the yelling and cursing could be heard from the first-class carriage.

Her cat couldn't be found until the train arrived at the station, so she was very irritable. When she got off the train, she cursed and yelled at the train conductor who kept apologizing, saying that she was going to complain to the conductor and the driver.

Gin Jiu got out of the car after her, heard her furious accusations from a distance, reached out and knocked on the briefcase, the cat hidden inside was trembling non-stop because of her voice, even his bag was shaking slightly.

Leaving the station amidst the crowd, Qin Jiu asked someone to inquire about the location of the Su family's mansion, and happened to find a taxi driver on the head, and he warmly greeted him into the car.

"The Su family's mansion. Hey, who doesn't know Tianxing Town? It's just south of the town. It's easy to find, but it's far away from the station." The driver started the car quickly, twisted and turned around to get out of the traffic, "I'm coming soon Master Su's birthday is coming, and sir is also here to celebrate Master Su's birthday?"

Qin Jiu said concisely: "No, I accepted a commission and went to the Su family to find the client."

The driver seemed to know the Su family very well. In order to continue talking about him, Qin Jiu didn't mind revealing some information first.

"Ah, I see. Sir, you must have accepted Mr. Su Jiu's commission." The driver said it firmly, which stunned Qin Jiu, who was thinking about what to say.

"How do you say that?"

"Sir, you are a foreigner and don't know about this. In fact, we locals know about it. Mr. Su Jiu, there is something wrong with your brain." The driver clicked his tongue twice, and cut into the topic very smoothly. I think he usually talked about this matter with passengers. Started the conversation, "Mr. Su Jiu is 25 years old this year. He is good-looking and talented, but he is not in good health. Before he got married, he was also the dream lover of the girls in the town..."

"Wait, you said he's married?" Qin Jiu couldn't help interrupting after hearing the beginning.

"Yeah." The driver nodded, and his regretful smile was reflected in the rearview mirror, "Mr. Su Jiu was married at the age of 20, but he always said that he was not married, and there was a...what's that word called? Yes, a pleasing lover, and said that his wife is not his wife, but his lover."

extreme inversion.

Gin propped his forehead, the news came so suddenly, he had some indigestion.

wife?lover?

The driver didn't care whether he could listen or not, and continued to babble: "Mr. Su Jiu has been ill for five years now. During these five years, he asked many people to investigate, saying that he wanted to find out how his lover became his wife. , but the survey results given by everyone are exactly the same, he and his wife are a normal marriage, and it was arranged by the parents of both parties, and the two have never met each other before getting married, so the wife cannot be his lover. "

"But he didn't believe it, so he tirelessly found someone to investigate, and then repeated the previous steps. Now, this matter has not only become the daily routine of Mr. Su Jiu, but also the daily routine of the people in Tianxing Town."

"..."

Gin rubbed his temples, thought for a while, and asked, "Mr. Su Jiu's wife... who is it?"

"Oh, her name is Zhuang Wumei. Before she married, she was the daughter of the richest man in Shuangxing Town. She is beautiful and treats Mr. Su Jiu very well, but she has a bad temper, but she is kind-hearted and generous."

The driver seemed to recall something, and smiled cheerfully: "I drove her before, and the tip was generous. Although she scolded her for being unsteady when she got off the bus, but seeing the fare she gave, I can't get angry at all."

Zhuang Wumei, Zhuang Wumei again.

Qin Jiu thought about the woman he saw last night, and a faint sense of disobedience welled up in his heart.

Good looks, generous shots, and bad temper, these three labels can be described as accurate hits, which are in line with the clues of general puzzle games.

But because of a reversal clue brought out by the driver, Qin Jiu felt that the identity of this woman was not simple. Maybe he saw Mr. Su Jiu when he arrived at the Su family mansion, and there was another reversal waiting for him.

Gin put the briefcase on his lap, gently patted the cat hiding inside through the bag, to calm its emotions, and wanted to ask the driver some inside information by the way.

But the driver changed the subject before he could open his mouth, talking about trivial family affairs in the town.

"There is a new fast food restaurant next to the station, and the old restaurant is overthrown. The food is expensive and unpalatable, and the attitude of the waiters is also very bad. The old restaurant is better..."

"The small park in the east has also been demolished recently. It is said that someone bought the land and wanted to build a private garden. I don't know if the construction has started. It is getting less and less profitable to drive a taxi. I have time to go Moving bricks and subsidizing households..."

"Guest, is it your first time to come to our Tianxing Town? Let me tell you, there are two hotels in our town. One was opened the year before last. It is very new and has complete facilities, but the accommodation fee is very expensive. I recommend you to go there." The old hotel in the south of the town is cheap and affordable, except for being a bit noisy at night, there are no other disadvantages..."

The driver drove all the way, and chatted with him all the way, no matter whether he replied or not, he just kept talking anyway, and he was a bit noisy when he was good at talking.

Gin didn't think he was noisy, but instead wrote down all the bits and pieces he said, so as not to miss useful clues.

Half an hour later, the Su family mansion arrived.The driver parked the car on the side of the road, Gin got out of the car, paid the fare, and walked quickly to knock on the door.

The door knocked three times and opened.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man in an old-fashioned suit. When he saw Gin, he reached out to hold his monocle and made a "please" gesture to Gin without saying a word.

The two entered the mansion one after the other, but instead of taking the wide and straight avenue ahead, they burrowed into the winding and sloping path on the right.

There are flowers, plants and bamboo bushes mixed among the rockery and strange rocks, and the fragrance is tangy, evoking the memories of Qin Jiu's dream last night, secretly holding his breath.

After a while, the path turned a corner, and the eyes suddenly opened up. The shadows of red plum trees slanted across a pond, and a two-story wooden house on the opposite side was reflected in the ripples, which shone with the morning light.

"Mr. Su Jiu is already in the house." The middle-aged man said so, and left in a hurry as soon as he finished speaking.

While Gin was wondering, a cat's paw suddenly protruded from under the zipper of the briefcase.The paws pulled the zipper open, and the cat, which had been hiding well, jumped out and trotted into the wooden house.
