Lesbian cat…
Zhang Zian was speechless when he saw the name .
He did some research .
This cat’s experience was in fact quite sad . At first, Pan Jinlian took it as the most precious thing . It was very smart and quickly learned how to pick up things with its mouth . It always slept in her arms . Soon enough, Pan Jinlian started to train it to attack her husband’s other wives . Snowy Snitch only ate fresh pork, so Pan Jinlian wrapped fresh pork inside red silk and train it to attack and bite . Her husband, Xi Menqing, had only one son, Guan Ge’er, who loved to wear red clothing .
When Snowy Snitch was trained well, Pan Jinlian secretly put it in the bedroom of Guan Ge’er . Seeing Guan Ge’er in red clothing, Snowy Snitch instinctively thought it was a piece of fresh meat, so it attacked and bit him . Guan Ge’er was scared to death, literally . Xi Menqing was so pissed that he grabbed Snowy Snitch and threw it at the stone stairs . Snowy Snitch died immediately .
Zhang Zian understood now . It was all about animal’s trained reflexes .
He also understood why this cat was so sick of men, why it liked to train other cats to steal, and why it was grumpy all the time . Its story was a heart-breaking one .
At first, he was curious about how there was a dark line on a snowy white cat . Now, he understood that it was an imaginative cat from a novel . Millions of readers’ imaginations turned it into an elfin .
Pan Jinlian wasn’t the first one to use an animal’s trained reflexes to commit crime . More than 2000 years ago, Tu Anjia from Jin Guo practiced the same thing to train a dog to kill Zhao Dun . 300 years after Jin Ping Mei was published, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also had similar stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles .
Both Tu Anjia and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose to write about training dogs for crimes because dogs are easy to train . Pan Jinlian was probably the first ever to write about cats committing crimes . Therefore, it wasn’t surprising to have Snowy Snitch become an elfin .
"Xinghai, I will put you back to my cellphone if someone comes . I will release you when we get home," He said to Xinghai, "You did me a great favor today . We wouldn’t have found this place without your help . "
Xinghai was excited about getting praised . It raised its head happily and said "Sure, Zian . "
Zhang Zian put Xinghai back in the cell phone, and left the storage room with Fina and the invisible Old Time Tea . He walked back up to the lobby from the stairs when Captain Sheng came in from outside .
Seeing that Zhang Zian didn’t take the elevator but walked up the stairs, Captain Sheng was surprised but he didn’t ask . He gave Zhang Zian a homemade lunch box . "Mr . Zhang, Thanks for working with us . Come have some lunch . It is all homemade food . I hope you like it . "
"Wow, great!" Zhang Zian took over the lunch box . The clock in the lobby showed it was already noon . Zhang Zian immediately felt hungry .
Captain Sheng gave him a pair of disposable chopsticks . "Sit down and eat . "
"Captain Sheng, did you eat?" Although it was quite obvious, Zhang Zian still asked politely .
Captain Sheng patted his belly, "Of course . My wife just finished cooking when I got home . She complained that I had to work on a weekend, but at least she still cooked for me . "
Yu Fei saw them from the surveillance camera so he pushed the door open, "Hey, come in here . You can eat at my desk . "
Captain Sheng and Zhang Zian entered the monitor room . Zhang Zian put the lunch box on the desk, pulled up a chair and pointed the monitor with his chin, "You may turn the surveillance back on . "
Yu Fei turned on the surveillance cameras and was about to ask Zhang Zian if he had found any clues . Captain Sheng winked and stopped him .
Zhang Zian opened the lunch box . The first layer was rice . The second layer was split into four compartments . There were spare ribs, wintermelon meatballs, stir-fried pork, and sour and spicy shredded potato . There was a lot of food .
"Yu Fei, do me a favor," Captain Sheng pulled out some money from his wallet, "Go get some BBQ skewers and fish . Don’t put any spices on them . "
Yu Fei took the money and thought the BBQ was for Captain Sheng and Zhang Zian .
Zhang Zian opened the disposable chopsticks and said, "Captain Sheng, that’s fine . I was joking with you . My cat is very picky . Even if you bought her fish, she won’t eat without her own food bowl . "
Yu Fei finally understood that the BBQ skewers and fish were for the cat . That cat was high maintenance!
Captain Sheng looked at Fina, who was sitting next to Zhang Zian . She was indifferent . The aroma from food didn’t interest her at all .
Zhang Zian got some food in his mouth and couldn’t help but praise, "Your wife is a good cook!"
"Well, thank you . I am glad you like it," Captain Sheng was humble .
"This is really great!" Zhang Zian quickly ate the food . He either ate greasy take out or tasteless BBQ skewers or fish all the time . He almost forgot what homemade food tasted like .
Yu Fei was hungry as well . His food was provided by the company and it wasn’t delivered yet . Looking at Zhang Zian eating, he felt hungrier .
Zhang Zian put a meatball in his mouth and spoke as he ate, "Oh yeah, Captain Sheng, I already figured out the case . It wasn’t as good as I was hoping for, but you could at least return the stolen goods to the owners . "
"Really? You are good! Please tell me the details . "
Captain Sheng wasn’t surprised because he could tell that Zhang Zian was much more calm and peaceful than he was this morning . So, he guessed that Zhang Zian had some good news for him . He honestly didn’t know much about Zhang Zian, so he wasn’t sure if his guess was correct or not .
Zhang Zian ate all the food quickly . Pushing the lunch box away, throwing the chopsticks in the garbage can, he then wiped his mouth, "Captain Sheng, I am not cleaning the lunch box for you . I know you are eager to find out what happened . I am going to show you . "
"Where?" Captain Sheng asked .
Zhang Zian pointed down, "In the underground parking lot . "
