Chapter 999: It doesn't look like he's here to meet someone he knows
"That makes sense. So, you tell Xiao Liu and the others to pay more attention to it during the night shift. Then, if the cat's stitches need to be removed, find out who brought it here and ask the owner. Then, I want Ji'an and the others to go to the Youdian Road area to see if there are any other discoveries." Lu Jingxing said.
"Okay..." Fang Guo nodded, stood up and walked out.
Lu Jingxing thought about it, finished the things at hand, and saw that it was almost time, so he walked towards the hall.
Ji Ling had also finished her work and was playing with Ba Mao. When she saw Lu Jingxing coming out, she immediately stood up and asked with a smile, "Are you done? Are you going to the cafeteria now?"
Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "I'm done, wait a moment, is Jian here?"
"Jian?" Ji Ling turned around and looked towards the backyard: "He should be there. I didn't go to the backyard."
Ba Mao ran over and rubbed against Lu Jingxing's legs, meowing non-stop.
Lu Jingxing squatted down and touched its head, then said to Ji Ling, "Wait for me a moment, I have something to talk to Ji An about."
"Okay, go ahead. I'm not in a hurry." Ji Ling smiled slightly and continued to squat down and play with Ba Mao.
Lu Jingxing strode towards the backyard.
From a distance, I saw Jian squatting with his butt sticking out, fiddling with something beside the fish tank.
He walked over directly.
Then half-bending over, Jian was fishing seriously when he suddenly felt a shadow on his head. He raised his head quickly and said, "Oh, Brother Lu, you scared me."
"What's wrong? What are you doing..." Lu Jingxing continued to stare at the fish tank: "What are you fishing for?"
Jian stretched out his hand and scooped up a small goldfish: "I'm going to scoop up this little guy. Look, it seems like something is wrong with it. It keeps turning over on its belly while swimming."
"Oh no, it's such a bad ending, no wonder..." Jian suddenly shouted.
Lu Jingxing also came over and saw that it was indeed the case. He took a closer look at the Ranchu and found that there were some lesions on the little guy's tail.
This is not a good sign. Then he looked at the fish tank and asked, "How long has it been since you changed the water?"
"The water was changed not long ago..." Jian replied honestly.
"Where is Xiao Chen?" Lu Jingxing stood up and looked around but didn't see Xiao Chen, who was originally in charge of the fish tank.
"He went to eat, and I said I would watch for a while and let him go first." Ji An put the Ranchu in the small fish tank and went to look at the other fish.
"I'll ask him..." Lu Jingxing took out his phone and called Xiao Chen, then told him about the situation and asked, "When did you clean the fish tank? I think the water quality is not very good."
"This situation has happened for two days. I changed the water in my fish tank the day before yesterday. I have taken measures in the past two days. I don't allow customers to feed the fish. Then I changed the water after I found out about it. I also paid attention to the temperature, which has been kept at around 24 degrees. I also cleaned the filter cotton. Anyway, I paid attention to what I should do. I just came out and checked it again. Did you find it again now?" Xiao Chen recounted in detail what he had done in the past two days.
"Gong Jian found another Ranchu with a dead tail. It's just the beginning. In this case, you should observe it for a while. If it doesn't work, think of another way." Lu Jingxing frowned as he looked at the tank of fish.
"Okay, I just switched shifts with my colleague who is on duty tonight. I will be on duty tonight and will keep an eye on the situation. I have also consulted them, and they told me that the current situation should be fine if I do as I said. It's just that I have told the front desk these days not to sell landscape fish food. In fact, that tank is fine, only this tank has a problem. I have basically isolated them all. The Ranchu you mentioned should be considered the one that slipped through the net, because I have put the others in small tanks." Xiao Chen said quickly.
Lu Jingxing nodded, said "hmm" and hung up the phone.
It has been almost two years since Xiao Chen has been in charge of the fish tank. This situation has happened before, and even more serious situations have occurred more than once. He may not have handled it very well at the beginning, but he was able to handle it well in the subsequent times. This time it does not seem to be serious, which may be related to the fact that he discovered it in time, so Lu Jingxing is not very worried.
Seeing that Lu Jingxing finally hung up the phone, Ji An asked, "Brother Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then he remembered why he came here: "Oh, yes, I came to find you."
Then he told him what Fang Guo had just told him, and forwarded the address to him: "Take some time to go to this area with Xiaopang and see if you can find anything..."
"Yes..." Jian saluted, which made Lu Jingxing laugh.
"Okay, but you also have to pay attention to safety. If you find any situation, come back and discuss it before taking any action. Don't rush forward like a fool." Lu Jingxing warned.
"Okay, don't worry, shall we go tomorrow?" Jian asked.
Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay... Then I'm going to eat. Are you waiting for Xiao Chen to come back?"
Ji An nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, I will wait for him to come before going."
"Okay..." After Lu Jingxing finished speaking, he looked up at the two thrushes in the cage. After what happened last time, the two little guys no longer wanted to go out. It seemed that they were scared by the shrike.
What is this called? There is always someone to conquer. I still remember that they were locked up because they bullied Happy. Of course, they came in voluntarily at first. This time it was because they were afraid of Shrike. Although the final result was the same, they were locked up voluntarily, but the situation was completely different.
Lu Jingxing smiled slightly. Now the two little guys were much more low-key than the first time they came in. It seemed that they also knew that this time would not be the same as last time.
"Brother Lu..." Ji Ling saw Lu Jingxing in a daze with a smile on his face, so he walked over and shouted.
"Hey, let's go." Lu Jingxing responded with a smile.
"Have you finished your chat?" Ji Ling tilted her head and looked at him.
"Okay, that's all, let's go..." Lu Jingxing patted her head.
The two walked out together.
"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Ji'an?" Ji Ling asked on the way to the cafeteria.
Lu Jingxing told Ji Ling again what Fang Guo had just said.
Ji Ling reacted immediately: "Do you suspect someone is abusing the cat?"
Lu Jingxing nodded.
Ji Ling also remained silent. This kind of thing could be considered a big deal or a small matter. It might not be easy to get evidence.
"But we are about to leave. If this is true, should we care?" Ji Ling asked.
Lu Jingxing thought for a while and said, "Of course we have to look into it, but this kind of thing cannot be investigated so quickly, just like the last time, we also set a trap to catch him. This will take time, let's wait and see..."
"Yeah, let's talk about it later..." Ji Ling lowered his head and stepped on a stone.
The two quickly walked to the cafeteria.
"Hahaha, this little guy is smart. This silly cat, why is it so stupid..." The two heard Yang Pei's laughter while they were still at the door.
The two looked at each other and smiled: "What is this guy doing?"
The two walked in: "Hey? Yinzi, why are you here?" Ji Ling shouted happily when he saw Lu Yin.
"Knowing that you would come to the cafeteria tonight, I came here with Yang Pei. Come on, we're waiting for you..." Lu Yin was also very happy to see Ji Ling, so she quickly stood up and gave her a hug.
After the four of them sat down together, Lu Jingxing turned his head towards Yang Pei and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?"
"You don't know how childish he is. He's watching Tom and Jerry..." Lu Yin scolded.
"There's a saying that boys are usually childish in front of the people they like. I'm usually very manly..." He raised his hand and showed his arm. "Eh..." Ji Ling looked disgusted.
Lu Yin's face flushed and she laughed: "You guy..."
Lu Jingxing slapped his arm down and said with a smile: "Forget about your small arms, there is no muscle at all."
His words made Ji Ling and Lu Yin burst into laughter.
Yang Pei looked furious: "Hey, which side are you on..."
Lu Jingxing laughed: "I stand on the side of truth..."
Several people burst into laughter together.
Aunt Xie brought the dishes to them. Knowing that they would come to the cafeteria to eat today, she specially prepared a special meal for them.
After dinner, the four of them separated. Yang Pei had to be on duty at night, and Lu Yin also said she had to work overtime at night. Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling returned to the first store.
After the two men finished their inspection of the store, they sat down in the pavilion in the backyard.
Since there was nothing else to do, the two of them teased Ba Mao while Ji Ling held Zhima and chatted in low voices.
As it gradually got dark, Ji Ling suddenly said, "Hey, I wonder what happened to the owl."
"Do you miss it? I haven't seen it for a long time. There is also the Wong Tai Sin family. I heard that they came once a few days ago, but I was not at work so I didn't see it. It's been so long, I really miss it."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." As the two were talking, a squeaking sound came from behind.
The two looked at each other, and Ji Ling's eyes lit up: "Is this Wong Tai Sin?"
Lu Jingxing was a little unsteady and stood up excitedly: "Really."
Ba Mao and Zhima also stood up straight at once, staring towards the back of the yard.
Lu Jingxing patted Ba Mao's head: "Shh, stop making trouble..."
Ji Ling hugged Zhima tightly and looked back vigilantly. When she didn't see any other cats in the yard, she felt relieved.
At this moment, all the cats that should be in their nests have gone in, because there was a problem with the fish tank these past two days, so all the cats that were not normally locked up have been locked up.
The Wong Tai Sins haven't been here since the cattery at the back was built, but they actually came today. I don't know if they came to scout the way in advance and knew that the cats were locked up, or if they smelled Lu Jingxing and risked their lives to come and see him.
The two men calmed down Ba Mao and Zhima and walked behind the courtyard wall.
The cats in the cattery who smelled the scent started meowing non-stop and all gathered at the door, in attack mode.
But Lu Jingxing also knew that the Wong Tai Sins were not afraid of cats at all. If they were, they would not have followed him to the store in the first place.
After opening the back door, Da Huangxianer rushed in.
Ji Ling was so scared that she took a few steps back.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The little guy kept squeaking after he came in.
Lu Jingxing's heart skipped a beat. This didn't seem like he was here to meet an acquaintance. It seemed like he had run into trouble.
He quickly opened his heart and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Speak slowly..."
He squatted down.
Huang Xian'er kept bowing: "Quick, save my child..."
Then after saying that, he ran outside without caring whether Lu Jingxing heard it clearly or not.
Lu Jingxing looked back at Ji Ling and said, "It seems like something has happened."
"Then, let's go with it and take a look?" Ji Ling said anxiously as he watched the little guy run out again.
"Okay, bring a cage..." He picked up a cage from the yard, turned on the light on his cell phone, and ran to the backyard.
Ji Ling closed the door and ran out.
"Go back, there is a mountain behind you, go back and wait for me..." Lu Jingxing said hurriedly when he saw Ji Ling following him.
Ji Ling trotted over and grabbed his hand: "Together..."
Seeing this, Lu Jingxing said nothing more, tightened her hand, and pulled her to run to the back.
Because there was only a small path at the back, although there was grass in this area when the cat house was repaired last year, the grass had already grown after half a year. Lu Jingxing was in a hurry to get out and didn't bring a big flashlight, so he could only follow carefully. At this time, the weather was getting hotter, and he was also afraid that there might be spicy strips or something in the grass.
Huang Xianer in front ran for a while and stopped for a while. Although she was anxious, she still waited for them.
The two followed Huang Xian'er and soon arrived at the location it pointed to.
Seeing this place, Lu Jingxing shook his head: "I say, Huang Xian, are you stupid? How can you be fooled by the same pit twice?"
Ji Ling took the phone that Lu Jingxing handed over, turned on the flashlight on his own phone, and was about to move forward when he was stopped by Lu Jingxing.
"Be careful, there is a trap..." Lu Jingxing shouted.
"Ah?" Ji Ling braked suddenly.
Then I saw Huang Xian slip away into the grass in front of my feet and disappeared.
"There really is a pit, how did you know..." While Ji Ling was surprised, Lu Jingxing had already started to remove the dead grass and branches on the pit.
"I rescued its cubs here once last year..." Lu Jingxing said helplessly.
"No wonder..."
After Lu Jingxing cleared away the things on top, the big yellow fairy below and the two small yellow fairies inside all raised their heads and looked at the two of them.
The big yellow fairy looked anxious, while the two little yellow fairies looked frightened.
"Hey, these aren't the same ones as before..." Ji Ling squatted down and looked at the two little ones.
"The original ones have probably already started their own families. Now this is the second batch of big Huangxian, and they've been trapped again. What can I say to you? Isn't your name Huang Xianer? Shouldn't you be very smart?" Lu Jingxing felt helpless as he watched the two little guys struggling to break free from the small clamp.
"It would be fine if only one was caught, but two were caught in the same pit. I'm really impressed." Ji Ling couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lu Jingxing's complaint.
"Hurry up and rescue them. They've been taking too long. If they keep struggling, their legs might break." Ji Ling became worried when she saw the two little guys squeaking and struggling.
