Is it normal to live on the phone to help your boyfriend investigate the case?

Chapter 15 It's Strange

Qu Mingcong still felt suspicious: "If the cat's head was cut off, why is there no blood stain on the collar, and no scratches left by the knife."

"We probably won't know the answer until we see the cat's body," Qiao Yueying said.

Qu Mingcong looked at the collar in the ziplock bag again, then put it in the backpack, and continued to walk forward, "In short...try to contact the customers first, too many cats have died around here recently, although I haven't seen any corpses, but That white cat should be more ominous, maybe there is no need to investigate further."

He has taken many orders for looking for pets. Most of the pet owners have the mentality of doing their best to obey the destiny.

After all, pets are just pets. If you know that there is a high probability that they have died outside, you can leave some thoughts in your heart if you don't see the corpse.

But Qiao Yueying felt that this was a bit weird, and muttered on the phone: "You said that dead cats are often found around here recently, but we have taken so many photos of stray cats, and every one of them is alive and well. If the cats that died were part of the stray cats here, then there are too many stray cats here... If the dead cats are domestic cats, the possibility is even smaller. Torture? It's strange no matter how you think about it."

"Don't think about it, there are too few clues, so you can't figure it out." Qu Mingcong said.

Things no one cares about, as if there is no need to cling to the answer.

Qiao Yueying didn't want to keep thinking about it, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity. It seemed that it was not worth mentioning how serious the incident was and how it would affect the surrounding residents. She just felt that the whole incident had a strong sense of disobedience. , so I care about it.

After returning to the office, Qu Mingcong received a WeChat message from a customer - he asked the owner of the white cat for a photo of the collar, and the other party sent a screenshot of the collar's online shopping and a product details page.

Qu Mingcong frowned and looked at it.

There is a certain gap between the photo of the product and the actual product. The photo is too beautiful and the color does not match.

He sent another message, asking if there were any recent photos of white cats wearing collars.

After waiting for a few minutes, the cat owner sent three or four photos intermittently, but these photos had already been sent when the other party came to the office to register the missing pet.

"Look at her Moments." Qiao Yueying came up with an idea, "Don't people who own cats like to post cats? See if she has posted pictures of cats before."

Qu Mingcong had this in mind, and clicked into the other party's circle of friends to check, and found that the customer had posted a photo of the white cat two weeks ago.

The stray cat in the photo is the missing white cat, but it looks dirty and doesn't wear a collar, so it has no reference value for Qu Mingcong.

Qiao Yueying browsed the other party's circle of friends, and she was amazed: "This person is also very interesting. You say she likes cats, but she only takes a few photos after adopting a cat. But if you say she doesn't like cats, how can she do it for her? It's weird to spend a lot of money on cats."

Qu Mingcong carefully compared the photos in his hand, sighed, took out the tattered collar in his backpack, found a well-lit place, took pictures of the collar from different angles such as top view and side view, and added a few more The details were close-up and sent to the customer together.

"Miss Qin, we found the collar on the cat here. Because the collar is severely damaged, it is difficult to compare only by photos. If your time is convenient, please come to the office to identify the real thing. If you confirm the collar It was on the cat, and I think the cat might be hard to find."

Qu Mingcong didn't send any text, this is a direct voice message.

The other party responded quickly, saying that he would be there in 10 minutes.

"It's so fast." Qiao Yueying exclaimed.

"She should live near here." Qu Mingcong said, "If she lived far away, she probably wouldn't be able to come to my place."

People live here, and cats are lost here. Naturally, it is most convenient to find a private detective here.

Ten minutes later, a handsome girl appeared in front of the office's store. The girl was in her 10s, wearing a simple hoodie and jeans, carrying a canvas bag. She looked like a female college student who went to school nearby.

"I just finished class, so I came here quickly when I saw the message you sent me." The girl said politely as soon as she entered the door, with a polite smile on her face, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Sit down, things are on the coffee table, I'll get you a glass of water."

Qu Mingcong said hello, walked to the water dispenser, took a cup of hot water from a paper cup, walked over with it in his hand, and sat down on the other side of the coffee table.

He glanced at the mobile phone on the coffee table out of the corner of his eye.

Qiao Yueying was observing the other party curiously.

The guest was named Qin Lu, and she was a beautiful lady. Although her clothes were simple, Qiao Yueying could tell that they were all big brands. Even the most humble canvas bag cost a thousand or several hundred. Wan asked the office to find a cat, Qiao Yueying was sure that this was a wealthy daughter.

Qin Lu lowered her head slightly, her eyes were fixed on the collar on the coffee table, she was silent for a long time, tears gradually accumulated in her eyes, falling one by one.

The appearance is really sad, but what Qiao Yueying doesn't understand is... It's only been two weeks, how can I have such deep feelings for the cat?

Qu Mingcong handed over a tissue at the right time, "When I found it, I was bitten badly by a dog, so I'm not sure if it's your cat's collar, but it's very similar... Would you like to pick it up and have a look? Look carefully. .”

"No... no need..." Qin Lu flinched, covered her eyes with a tissue, and said with a sob, "It should belong to it, I'm sure."

Qu Mingcong was silent for a while, and then said: "According to the terms of the contract, no matter whether the pet is found or not, the deposit will not be refunded. If the pet is not found, but the pet's belongings are found, you need to pay 30% of the reward. The deposit you paid has exceeded It’s quite a lot, so you don’t have to pay this money…”

"What... do you mean?" Qin Lu looked up, her teary eyes were full of astonishment, "Aren't you going to help me find a cat?"

Qu Mingcong was slightly surprised, "...do you want to continue looking?"

"Is it not possible?" Qin Lu stared at him blankly with confused eyes, "Or...do I need to pay more?"

"It's not about the money." Qu Mingcong frowned, thought for a while, and finally decided to be straightforward, "The collar is already like this, and it's unlikely that the cat is still alive. Frankly speaking, it doesn't make much sense to get it back, and it's also difficult." It's very big, if you want to find it, as long as you pay the money, we can of course continue to search, but... I advise you to think carefully about it."

"Don't think about it, I've made a decision." Qin Lu wiped away her tears and said solemnly, "Whether it's dead or alive, you have to find it, even... even if it's only part of it, it doesn't matter, I will pay the full reward Yes, please."
