"No, I don't have a cat here! Well, the promise has been made, I'm going to get busy, Sister Snake..." After saying the last sentence in her heart, Paduo quickly cut off the contact and no longer tried to find out the reaction from Mebius.

What a joke! Maomao just wanted to help and do what she could, but she didn't want to sacrifice herself... She couldn't help shivering just thinking about the cold experimental bench in Mobius' laboratory!

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly. It's getting late. Let's go find something to eat, Canned." After finishing her conversation with Mebius, Pado turned her head to look at Canned who was squatting next to her and said.

"Meow!"

Hearing the word "eat", Can gave a little cry of excitement and without hesitation climbed onto Pado's shoulders.

"Hold on tight and get ready to go!"

In addition to solving the lunch problem, Padu also plans to go to the slums to check the situation there.

After her sudden move last night, all the forces should be getting restless again. For her own safety, she felt that it was necessary for her to confirm the specific situation.

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

Villa Shihuaiya——

"Really? There is not even a clue left... Could it be that a rat really took it away?" Shi Huaiya, who had just returned from the property management after checking the surveillance footage, was lying on the sofa at home, muttering "sadly".

Several hours have passed since the investigation and search for clues began, but Shi Huaiya has not gained much.

There were no obvious traces or remains in the house, and the surveillance cameras in the villa area did not capture any suspicious persons. Even the words of the housekeeper did not contain any problems or flaws...

But she always felt that this matter was not that simple, but the various clues and ideas could not be connected together.

"Oh, I just don't believe this!"

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Shi Huaiya, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up, picked up the phone beside her, stood up and made a call.

She must resolve this matter, she doesn't want to be laughed at by Pujielong at all.

……

Finally, after giving instructions via mobile phone, Shi Huaiya temporarily put aside the affairs at home and rushed to the Guard Bureau.

This time, it wasn't just that she wanted to see if she could help, but also because Xingxiong sent her a message...

ps: I have posted it, but not completely. I have been busy at home recently, and the manuscript fee this month is a mess, so it is like this now. The update will return to normal next month.

Chapter 21 The Char Siu Cat is Shocked

The Guard Bureau——()*6′榴°二≯琉(铃≈林£Ⅷ≤耳°2∞?裙~<$#^

"I'm here. What clues have I found?"

Shi Huaiya came all the way to the Guard Bureau and returned to the office. She looked at Xingxiong impatiently and asked.

"?"

"Why are you here? Didn't we agree to investigate tomorrow?" Xingxiong was slightly stunned when he saw the person who shouldn't be here at this moment.

"There's nothing going on at home, so I came over to see if there's anything I can do to help." Hearing this, Shi Huaiya blinked lightly and answered without blushing or beating her heart.

"Really hardworking..." Xingxiong paused halfway through his sigh, and said with a strange look on his face as if he had thought of something:

"Wait, you weren't serious about wanting to be the director, were you...?"

"What else? A senior superintendent who doesn't want to be the chief is not a good superintendent." After hearing Xingxiong's words, Shi Huaiya spread his hands as a matter of course and said.

"You barbecued pork cat, you really dare to think so!"

This time, before Xingxiong could say anything else, a cold and slightly "disdainful" voice sounded first. And at the same time as this voice sounded, it was accompanied by a big eye roll.

"What are you talking about, you loser! I am determined to get that position, and I will definitely get it one day!" After hearing Chen's words and rolling her eyes at her, Shi Huaiya got completely furious and retorted back in a bad mood.

"Just you? Stop daydreaming! Just lie in bed and think about it at night."

"you!"

……

"It starts again..."

Looking at the two people bickering again, Xingxiong on the side shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"Humph, who is arguing with this street-beating dragon?"

"You barbecued pork cat!"

The two people who were arguing heatedly gave each other some face after hearing what Xingxiong said. After glaring at each other, they turned their faces away and stopped arguing.

"Okay, both of you, don't be angry. Old Chen, go and do your thing. I'll talk to Shi Huaiya about the current situation."

When Xingxiong, the "peacemaker" of the trio, spoke, the other two didn't say anything. One continued to work with a stern face, while the other turned his head and leaned towards her, waiting for her next words.

"…So, what's the situation now? What new actions has that Longmen thief taken?"

Perhaps because she was impatient, Shi Huaiya, who was standing next to Xingxiong, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"The theft did not happen again, but yesterday

That night, that person delivered supplies to the slums again." Facing Shi Huaiya's question, Xing Xiong told her the new information he had obtained today with a serious look.

"However, due to various reasons, the people who were waiting there last night did not see that person."

"So what are your plans for next? Should we increase the number of personnel to guard tonight?" After listening to Xingxiong's story, Shi Huaiya did not show any surprise on her face, but asked again with a serious expression.

"Well, this is the arrangement for now. Today's field investigation has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for tomorrow... Tomorrow we will conduct the investigation in plain clothes."

Hearing this, Xingxiong nodded slightly and dragged out all the arrangements he and Chen had made before.

"Has the investigation been hindered?"

Although she was asking, Shi Huaiya's tone at this moment was quite certain.

"Well, the people in the slums have already resisted our inquiries and investigations. Some even said and acted too aggressively... They think it's our interference that has prevented them from receiving the [gift] from this chivalrous thief for so long."

At this point, Xingxiong, who had originally had a gentle expression, couldn't help but frown.

"Ah... To be honest, although it seems ridiculous, this is indeed expected. After all, we did not give these people benefits like that person did."

As he spoke, Shi Huaiya couldn't help but sigh softly, and his expression became a little complicated.

However, this situation did not last long. At this moment, she was thinking about something and muttered in an uncertain tone:

"Wait, this can't be the plan of the great thief, to give these people benefits and then let them cover for him, or even protect him..."

"It is not clear whether that person's actions have such intentions, but it is obvious that reality has developed in that direction." After listening to Shi Huaiya's muttering, Xing Xiong shook his head gently and said.

"In addition to this, I now strongly suspect that [this person] may be a gang member or has an accomplice." At this point, Xingxiong's expression couldn't help but become strange.

It's really not her fault that she's suspicious. The main reason is that the supplies that the suspect sent to the people in the slums this time were a bit exaggerated...

If the suspect had only sent some clothes and a small amount of food each time because of the frequent operations before, then last night... the suspect seemed to be afraid that there would not be a next time, and sent a lot of hard-core food, including but not limited to flour, rice, etc...

If the amount delivered was small, or the delivery area was small, Xingxiong might be able to understand it, but this time the delivery was not only large and heavy, but also covered a wide area...

While doing the above, that person was able to do it quietly and avoid being seen...

This led to the Guard Bureau not only suspecting that there was someone in the slums who was hiding the theft, but also began to suspect that these thefts were committed by a gang... Even if it wasn't, there must be helpers. Otherwise, if it was just one person, then he really might be a superman...

"What details did you find?"

Xingxiong's sudden words aroused Shi Huaiya's curiosity.

"Take a look for yourself. These are the photos taken in the slums today." This time, Xingxiong did not explain anything. He just took out a few photos that were clipped in the file and put them in front of Shi Huaiya.

“Let me see…?”

After seeing the contents of the photo clearly, Shi Huaiya couldn't help but have a question mark slowly appearing in her head. After a moment, she said in a somewhat unbelievable tone:

"Don't tell me that other people received things of this specification."

"Although we haven't confirmed too many stores, unfortunately, they should be pretty close..."

"???"

“This…you…?”

Hearing this, Shi Huaiya pointed at the apparently heavy grain in the photo and opened her mouth several times, but could not utter a complete sentence. Until the end, she managed to utter:

"That person delivered such a heavy item, but our people didn't notice it at all?"

ps: There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 22: Cat's Little Melancholy

"?~"

Just when Shi Huaiya had spent some time understanding the current situation with Xingxiong and was about to sit back in her seat and start working, the cell phone in her pocket vibrated, stopping her in her tracks.

Then, in order not to disturb others, she held her phone, turned around and left the office to answer the call.

Although she had not answered the call yet and had not even checked the incoming call reminder on her phone, Shi Huaiya had already guessed who was contacting her and why.

"Hey."

"It's me, Miss Beatrix. I've already done what you asked me to do. Do you need to come back and check it in person?"

After the call was connected, it was exactly as Shi Huaiya had expected. It was she who had taken the initiative to contact and give the order.

"No need. I believe you can handle this. Also, just open it when you leave." Hearing the respectful voice from the other side, Shi Huaiya replied calmly.

"Yes, then I won't bother you anymore, miss."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Huai

Ya looked up to the window, a dark light flashing in her eyes.

Although she is currently focusing more on the affairs and work of the Guard Bureau, it does not mean that she does not care about her family's affairs. She, Shi Huaiya, has always been trying to do both.

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

Slums

After filling her stomach at noon today, Paddo brought canned food and went to the slums in broad daylight for the first time in a long time, and conducted a simple investigation.

After all, ever since the last incident, Maomao hasn't come here at night for a long time in order to prevent himself from being waited for or something... let alone coming during the day like today.

After spending some time collecting information and understanding the recent situation in the slums, Padu felt a little uncomfortable.

Then she was not in a hurry to leave, but found a small teahouse on the side of the road, ordered a cup of tea and sat down.

"..."

At this moment, Padu was staring at the tea with ripples caused by the wind, and her expression seemed a little resentful.

Because Maomao discovered once again that being a human is hard, and being a good person is even harder... As expected, she still wants to be a carefree cat who can fill her stomach.

As for why she suddenly thought of this, it was of course because Padu learned about the attitude and behavior of the poor people she had helped towards the police officers of the Guard Bureau today...

How to put it, if it is just to protect yourself and give yourself some small cover, then the cat can more or less understand and accept it.

But, apparently, many people have crossed the line…

Whenever Pado thought of the unbearable words and malicious plans she heard in the market today, even someone as broad-minded as her couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, Maomao doesn’t think she is a saint. She delivers things to the slums out of kindness and selfishness, but overall she tries her best to help and has a clear conscience.

Even those who have been helped by her want more and become dependent on her, but Padu doesn't care and still tries her best to help...

However, she really hated people who claimed to protect her but actually spread malice and attacked innocent people just for a little bit of benefit.

According to Maomao's investigation, during the commotion caused by the poor today, one or two police officers from the Royal Guards were caught off guard and suffered minor injuries...

Although those who caused the trouble were eventually taken to the police station, she was still speechless and angry.

"It seems like I have to find a way to teach these people a lesson... I don't want to get into trouble because of these things." After thinking about how to deal with this matter, Padu lay on the table and muttered unhappily.

After careful consideration, Maomao has decided to give these radical people a lesson.

Not only that, she also planned to screen the candidates for help more carefully. She didn't want to ignore the people who really needed help and raise a group of "monsters"...

"Meow~"

Noticing that his companion Paduo was unhappy, Can, who was squatting on the table, stretched out his chubby and furry paws and patted Paduo's forehead as if to comfort her.

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

After staying in the slum for a while and getting over her slightly depressed state, Padu left with the canned food.

This afternoon, Maomao felt that her young heart had suffered a great shock, so she decided to go to Shi Huaiya's house for a stroll before she got off work to purify her wounded heart.
