Chapter 194
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When facing a stranger, a normal person would typically be wary . However, they had a different feeling towards small animals, especially cute little kittens and puppies . People loved them, approached them and fed them – in fact, it could be dangerous because not all pets were nice . Therefore, one should pay special attention when approaching a strange cat or dog . Kids should never do that on their own .
If someone could train a cat to steal, he could also train it to conduct other crimes .
Captain Sheng said, "When the police arrived, we got the surveillance video . When everybody realized that it was the cat, it had already left through the stairs . "
"So, Liu Miao had to suck up the loss?"
"That is not accurate," Captain Sheng pointed out, "We set up a file and are trying to find the suspect and his watch . That’s why I am here to ask a favor from you . "
Zhang Zian laughed, "Okay . My bad . "
"In fact, when the police were there, they didn’t realize it was that serious . They thought the cat might have thought the shiny watch was pretty so it took the watch . We missed the best chance to use a police dog . "
Zhang Zian thought to himself that the thief cat had to be related to Fina .
"Many days later, I overheard some co-workers’ conversations and learned about this case," Captain Sheng continued, "I don’t think this is a simple case, so I counted the stealing cases we received in recent months . How many cases do you guess we got?"
"That’s a difficult guess," Zhang Zian was honest .
"There are 13 cases where the camera caught the cat stealing . Counting all the cases without surveillance records, there were almost 100 cases . I am not saying that the cat did them all, but it is certainly possible . "
Captain Sheng simply described the situation and it looked like those cases had been giving him a big headache . "If it was a person who conducted those crimes, we’d have a way to find him . However, it was a cat… Honestly, we can’t do anything about it . The way we track people does not work on cats . These cases have been a big influence on the police image . They weren’t serious crimes, but the fact that people think we can do nothing…"
"So, you are hoping I could help resolve these cases?" Zhang Zian re-confirmed .
"Mr . Zhang, don’t be overly humble . If you agree, we will send a crew to assist you in this cat . You are the cat trainer, we aren’t," Captain Sheng said politely .
"Well… I see," Zhang Zian pretended to think, but in fact he was looking at Old Time Tea .
Old Time Tea slightly nodded his head and immediately slightly shook his head .
He guessed that Old Time Tea meant he should accept the case, but he should not make any promises .
"Okay . I can give it a try . Please give me some time for preparation," Zhang Zian said .
"That’s great!" Captain Sheng was happy to get his help . He stood up and reached his hand out for a handshake, "I am glad you accepted our invitation . I’ve got to go . Come see me in the police station anytime you are ready and we can work out some details . "
Zhang Zian shook his hand and saw him off at the door .
As soon as Captain Sheng left, Zhang Zian lowered the curtain door and said, "Grandma Tea, you may come out . "
Old Time Tea became visible .
"What do you think?" he asked .
Old Time Tea thought for a second . "Let’s discuss this with the team . "
"Okay," Zhang Zian agreed .
The biggest concern for this case was that the suspect was stealing from various office buildings and it was extremely difficult to track where it would go next .
Zhang Zian released Xinghai and Fina .
They both had taken a nice nap and looked refreshed . Fina shook her fur comfortably, smelled and frowned, "A strong cigarette smell . Did that policeman come back?"
Zhang Zian nodded, "He came to discuss a case that needed our help . "
"I am not interested," Fina rejected immediately, "I don’t want to get involved in things like that . If the weather is nice, I’d rather take a nap in the sun . "
Zhang Zian was embarrassed, although he was prepared that Fina would say something mean .
"Ha-ha, My Majesty, please listen to me," Old Time Tea always spoke at the right time, "First, Captain Sheng is in high ranking . If we do him a favor now, it might be beneficial to us in the future . Second, this time it was cats breaking the law . If people start to broadcast this, it will only shame us cats and you as our Queen . "
Zhang Zian was amazed at how sophisticated Old Time Tea was . The Kings and Queens only wanted to hear what they wanted to hear . Old Time Tea totally understood this .
Fina was curious immediately . She glanced at him and asked, "Tell me about it . "
Zhang Zian repeated the story he just heard from Captain Sheng .
"What?!" Fina’s eyes were wide open, "How dare it steal shiny things and not give them to me!?"
Zhang Zian forced a smile . So that’s what Fina cared about?
He cleared his throat . "That’s true . I heard that all the missing things are very expensive . Luxurious watches, wallets, purses . . . There was a lady who saw a cat in the bathroom . She thought it was cute so she petted it . That cat was obeying . As soon as she took off her ring to wash her hands, the cat jumped and ran away with the ring . She followed it out immediately, but it escaped . "
Those cases were filed with the police . He could not imagine how many people just let it go and didn’t report the case . Many people may have thought that the cat just liked the jewelry . No one would’ve thought that the cat was trained to steal . The suspect chose to steal from high-end offices because people who worked there were pretty well-off .
"Well, what are we waiting for? I have to punish these cats who damage our reputation as cats!" Fina said seriously, "When we find the jewelry, can I have all the shiny things?"
Zhang Zian was speechless . He knew that was coming…
He knew it was useless to discuss with Fina because she simply didn’t care . He said, "Let’s find the suspect . If the lost items were recorded, they’ll have to go back to the original owner . If some weren’t recorded… You can probably pick one . "
Fina said reluctantly, "Stingy!"
Zhang Zian asked Xinghai, "Xinghai, do you think we should accept this case?"
Xinghai kept nodding, "I want to help! I hate bad boys!"
Zhang Zian knew Xinghai wouldn’t be a problem so he said, "Now, let’s…"
"Wait, Zian," Old Time Tea said .
"What’s up, Grandma Tea?"
Old Time Tea looked outside . It was getting dark .
"We don’t have to rush into this . A few days ago, I was walking outside and saw that the moon was very bright . Today is a full moon . Let’s take today as the Mid-Autumn Festival and celebrate that we have a new member in the family . How about that?"
