After finishing the cleanup and making sure that she had not messed up the shop, Paddo raised her foot to leave. However, before she walked out of the shop, she seemed to remember something. She shook her tail lightly, turned quickly and returned to the counter again.

Then, she took out the box she had recently used to store goods from the space, rummaged through it, and selected a few valuable items that she didn't like and couldn't sell, and placed them next to the money on the counter.

"Hey, let's go canned!"

"Meow~"

After doing all this, Padu happily turned around again and nimbly walked out of the candy store with her cat.

Before leaving, she thoughtfully restored the door lock that she had opened with a special tool to its original state.

……

After finishing tonight's candy store purchasing trip, Padu's hidden breath wandered around for a few laps before quietly returning to his new secret base or resting place.

"Ah~"

"I haven't had a good sleep for a long time. Good night, Can." Yawning lightly, Paduo muttered softly to Can beside her.

"Meow~"

----------------------

Day 2 morning——

After having breakfast with his wife and daughter at home, [Rat King] Lin Gerui slowly left home with his dragon-headed cane and headed towards the

Candy store.

Although he has such a small background, Lin Gerui still likes his identity as a candy store owner.

If there is nothing urgent, he will go there in person to open the store every morning and then enjoy a leisurely time in the store.

To Lin Gerui, today was no different from any other day. It was just an ordinary day. However, this thought disappeared the moment he opened the door of the store and saw what was going on inside.

"Damn it, who did this!"

Seeing that almost half of the candies on the shelves in his own store were gone, Lin Gerui tightened his hands around the cane instantly, then he yelled with a dark face.

Although the [Rat King] often talks about getting old, he never thought that someone in Longmen would actually come to tease his tiger (rat) whiskers. It turned out that he was the one who was stealing things. What a bastard!

The main thing is that if the stolen items are valuables, although it is just provoking the tiger, Lin Gerui can still understand that the "thief" is taking the risk and offending himself for money.

But since the thing lost was candy, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like someone was deliberately trying to provoke him.

……

Just as Lin Gerui took a moment to calm himself down and went forward to check the stolen candies in the container, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the corner of the counter.

"..."

After seeing clearly what was placed in the corner of the counter, Lin Gerui narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped walking towards the shelf.

After a moment, he reached out and picked up a very exquisite porcelain tea bowl from a pile of small items next to the Longmen coins.

"It turned out to be that little thief..."

Although Lin Gerui was not so exaggerated as to know all the things that had been stolen from Longmen recently, he still knew about the teacup in his hand.

It was one of the items stolen from a small gang in Longmen by the "righteous thief" who recently appeared...

As for why Lin Gerui knew this, it was of course because he sent someone to inquire.

After these organizations' things were stolen, although they might conceal some information when he sent people to inquire for reasons such as face or the uncleanness of the things, the Rat King's majesty and face were there, so even if he concealed something, what he revealed was almost all true.

"Humph……"

With a light snort, Lin Gerui put down the teacup in his hand. Having lived for so many years, he had become a shrewd man. Without giving it much thought, he vaguely understood the thoughts of the thief who patronized his store.

It was simply that he had been cornering people in the slums too much recently, and the people on the other side couldn't help but patronize his candy store in revenge, but in the end he was afraid that he would be really angry and hold them accountable, so he left behind the money and "stolen goods".

"You're just wishful thinking. No one has provoked me like this in years..."

ps: I have been working really hard. I have been working on this chapter since 8pm. You should have noticed that the plot twists and turns are very abrupt... It's very uncomfortable. Now I am asleep. Good night everyone.

Chapter 15 Law-abiding Good Citizen "Rat King"

After counting the "losses" in his store, the [Rat King] not only gave some instructions to his men, but also temporarily closed the store, and then slowly headed towards the Guard Bureau.

Previously, due to the special nature of the items stolen by Paduo, Lin Gerui did not want to bring the matter to light, but only investigated privately and put pressure on him. But now that his own regular candy store was robbed, he had reason to talk about it.

After all, he, [Rat King] Lin Gerui, is a law-abiding citizen of Longmen. When he encounters such a thing, he will naturally call the police.

As for his own face and dignity, if it was before, the [Rat King] might have cared about it, but since he discovered a few days ago that there was something going on with the [Emperor] and he was also investigating this little thief, he didn't care much about it.

In terms of material possessions, he did not suffer much loss, but in terms of face and dignity, he had the company of a person of the same status.

Of course, Lin Gerui's call to the police this time was not only to mobilize the Guards Bureau to put pressure on the thief, but also to remind the people behind the Guards Bureau.

Although the "little thief" left money and stolen goods this morning, which seemed to be a plea for mercy, after repeated tests during this period of time, the [Rat King] did not think that he was a simple person. Just ask, how many people can succeed in every operation without any exposure in Longmen, a place full of his spies?

However, despite the reminder, Lin Gerui felt that the guy should have known about this matter a long time ago.

————————————————————

"Ah~"

"It's so blissful to sleep in the sun."

Padu, who slept until she woke up naturally, squinted her eyes comfortably, stretched lazily, and muttered softly.

"Meow~"

Noticing Pado's actions, Can at the side yawned lightly as if he was "infected", then supported his waist with all four paws and stretched his fat body.

"I don't know what's going on outside. I hope that the big... 'Rat King' will show some mercy for the sake of the money I left." As he spoke, Lin Gerui's angry and terrifying face emerged in Pado's mind.

To be honest, although Maomao knew what the Rat King looked like before she traveled through time, after secretly seeing him in person a few days ago, she can only say that it is difficult for non-Terra people to appreciate him...

……

After staying there for a while, Padu finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up with a helpless expression, patted her clothes, and said to the can next to her:

"I'm still a little worried. Let's go out and take a look, Can. It just happens to take care of breakfast and lunch."

"……Meow!"

The little fat cat, who had been uninterested in the first half of the story, was startled when he heard about breakfast and lunch, and then he quickly and excitedly climbed onto Paddy's shoulder.

"Can, you get so excited when you mention food." Padu took out a small dried fish from the space, handed it to Can's mouth and said: "Use it as a cushion first, and don't rush forward when you encounter something to eat outside!"

What Paddo said about the can was not an exaggeration. A fat cat did exactly that during an operation a few days ago... If it weren't for its size, others would even think it was being abused.

And the troubles that Cantou has caused due to his greed are not limited to this. Ever since he was fed at Shi Huaiya's house last time, he would sneak over to get a free meal every now and then...which made Paduo feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the mission was to get the goods from others at a discount, and then my cat was just sitting there and eating...

Now when purchasing cats, I can’t bear to look at the cat cans and cat food that I recently bought in Shi Huaiya’s cabinet.

"Meow!"

Seeing the dried fish handed to his mouth, Cangzhuang was not polite at all. He took a bite and started eating.

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

Glancing at the can happily eating, Padu suddenly seemed to remember something, and lightly hammered her hand, took out a candy from the space, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into her mouth.

Feeling the refreshing sweetness spreading in his mouth, the cat gently raised the hand holding the candy wrapper, and then watched the candy wrapper sparkle under the sunlight. His already good mood became even better.

Finally, she carefully put the candy wrappers into her collection box. Then, with the finished cans, Padu carefully left her place of residence and went out to gather intelligence.

————————————————————

You wouldn't know unless you went out to investigate. After a round of investigation, Pado suddenly discovered that the worst situation had occurred. Lin Gerui actually called the police because of the candy store incident!

This is good. So far, the three major forces of Longmen have more or less noticed her...

After hearing the news, Paduo was in a bad mood. She thought of many bad outcomes, and even thought that the Rat King was very angry and used all his connections to "want" her all over the city...

But Maomao never thought that he, a gangster boss, had no martial ethics or face and went straight to the police!

"Alas, Canned Food, it looks like we're going to have a hard time from now on." Putting down the chicken leg she had taken a bite of, Paduo said with a somewhat depressed expression.

Regarding the current situation, Maomao is not afraid of her life being in danger or going to jail. Because the former is unlikely, and the latter can't lock her up at all. What bothers her is that she may be tired in the future.

As for what I’m tired of…of course I’m tired of knocking people!

During this period of time, with the increasingly intensive and careful searches by the Rat King, it was not that Padu had not been discovered, but she had her memory "physically" cleared by her using "Inconsiderateness".

After all, cats are not invisible supermen. It would be a problem for them to not reveal any flaws when there are so many eyes watching them.

Moreover, she always went to deliver supplies to the people in the slums in the middle of the night. Just for this, she didn't know how many times she had been waited for by Lin Gerui's men.

And this time, with the "multi-party" alliance, Pado couldn't imagine how many people he would have to knock over next...

"Meow~Awooo!"

During the short moment when Padu was "lamenting", the can was moved to her side at some point, and then, when she was not paying attention, it pounced and bit the big chicken leg in her hand.

"!"

"This is my chicken leg, canned!" After discovering that her chicken leg had been bitten, Padu immediately exited her previous state and started fighting for the chicken leg with her fat cat.

ps: This schedule has made me lonely and exhausted. I am so sleepy. Everyone, be safe.

Announcement (I figured it out!)

I was stuck on this for more than 20 days, and suddenly I had an epiphany.

Finally, I found out where the real problem lies. I was getting stuck in a dead end. This was not what I thought before I started writing this volume. The original plan was to make it a bit similar to a police and gangster movie, where he runs away and he chases... But as I wrote, I brought myself into the character of Mao Mao, thinking with Mao Mao's mindset throughout, and then pushed the plot forward.

As time went by, things got worse and this volume turned into a dozen terrible chapters.

I asked myself, the personality of the cat in this volume is not ooc, but it was because it was relatively restored that something went wrong.

As for why I say this, it's because Maomao's personality itself is not suitable for advancing the plot. I was trapped in her character setting before. Even though she has culture, ability, and good luck, she has been sneaking and hiding all the way. After more than ten chapters and half a month in the novel, no one has discovered her.

Not to mention, playing in a police and gangster movie and touching other girls... Without these daily plots of contact with other characters to polish, the things written in the front are naturally very stiff and the twists are not very good.

It's very painful to watch.

Not only are you guys uncomfortable reading this, I was also very uncomfortable writing it. I was so upset when I was writing yesterday that I almost wanted to rewrite this volume, but after carefully analyzing the plot today, I found that the previous ten or so chapters that were very bad actually unexpectedly had many useful foreshadowings, so I temporarily gave up the idea of ​​starting over.

Today, after I sorted out the plot again, I just tried to write for a while. It's going smoothly and the writer's block problem has been solved for the time being. After all, I have stepped out of the character of Maomao, and found a reasonable way that does not violate her personality, promote the plot, and interact with the girls.

By the way, don't worry if you want to see Big Gray Shu, it will be unlocked soon. However, this image novel should not be used often in a short period of time, after all, you can't explain to your friends that you suddenly grew up overnight, but it is still okay to use it secretly like Snake.

Then there is a small problem I encountered tonight, which is, does anyone know what Chen called Shi Huaiya?

This month, I have encountered an unprecedented big writing block, so I am not updating very often. I will try to write more in the next few days of this month. After all, if I don’t write well, I may not have money to eat next month (sad).

Chapter 16 Unexpected Situations

After the "Rat King" Lin Gerui reported the case, the Imperial Guard Bureau took the matter seriously because of his identity and began to mobilize the intelligence department to collect clues on a large scale.

Within just a few days, all the complicated and detailed clues were placed on the desks of Chen, Shi Huaiya and others.

Guard Bureau, Senior Superintendent's Office -

At this moment, the three members of the team that took over this incident were gathering together to sort out and discuss the relevant clues of the incident.

"Although a lot of information is still missing, we can roughly estimate the number of thefts committed by this 'generous' suspect."

Chen paused, pointed to the whiteboard with photos and clues, and continued to say to the person next to him:

"If Mr. Lin Gerui's guess that [the suspect helped the people in the slums every time he stole something] is correct, then we can infer that the suspect must have stolen 13 times in total until he robbed the candy store."

"We still don't know whether he has taken any action again in the past few days since the candy store incident."

After hearing what Chen said, Shi Huaiya and Xing Xiong, who were sitting next to him, nodded slightly. They had no objection because they thought the same way.

Then Shi Huaiya seemed to have thought of something, and sighed with a helpless tone:

"The suspect this time was surprisingly principled in his actions, stealing and delivering. It's a pity that because the Rat King chased him too closely before, he became irregular."

"Let alone whether there are any more operations behind the candy store, in the previous 13 thefts, we still don't know what the suspect stole in five of them, and no one has called the police because of the theft."

"It is not ruled out that the owner himself is unaware of the theft. After all, the suspect this time seemed to steal at will and there is no pattern at all." After listening to Shi Huaiya's words, Xingxiong added with a serious expression.

"Yeah. I hope those careless owners will react quickly." After complaining quietly, Shi Huaiya turned his attention to the clues again.
