Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 173

[Chapter 162 Picking the Lock?]

In the cat area forum, there are many people who often make jokes about cats, so other netizens didn’t think there was anything special about Zheng Tan’s remarks, and Zheng Tan’s remarks were quickly followed by quarreling replies. submerged.

Even if someone sees this sentence when flipping the post, they will not have much impression on this seemingly meaningless sentence.

Zheng Tan didn’t intend to get any attitude from other people, so he turned off the computer and lay down on the balcony to sleep.

A day later, when Zheng Tan opened the forum again, the post had been deleted. There were many extended posts in the discussion area. After a brief look at it, Zheng Tan was not in the mood to read further.

While it was still early, he was going to see the black and white tabby cat.

Without Er Mao to follow today, Zheng Tan felt much more at ease.

When passing by the place where the box was, Zheng Tan didn’t see the black-and-white cat. The lunch box Ermao put here had already been eaten, and there were some leftovers given by the surrounding people in the paper bowl in front of the box. I saw a lot of fish bones, all of which were left over from eating fish bones. Because of the weather, the paper bowl had a sour smell.

After taking a careful look around and confirming that he didn’t see the black and white cat, Zheng Tan ran to the alley.

In the alley, there was no figure of the black and white tabby cat on the tree, and the window on the second floor of the house next to it was still tightly closed.

There doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.

Approaching the house, Zheng Tan listened with his ears, but he didn’t hear any sound inside the house, and no one was talking. It looked the same as the surrounding residential houses, and at this point in time.

Those who work and go to school are not at home, it seems much quieter, only those sparrows are chirping.

There was nothing to gain, Zheng Tan was about to jump off the tree to leave, but just after taking two steps, Zheng Tan suddenly turned his head to look at the sparrows that were walking on the fence not far away.

Too much.

After careful observation, Zheng Tan realized that there seemed to be a lot of sparrows around at some point.

Sparrows are common in cities, especially around schools with large green forest areas.

Zheng Tan has been walking on this street for more than half a year.

Knowledge of the street.

I don’t know everything, but some phenomena are still very clear. For example, there were originally many cats around here, and they were basically stocked.

And the result of more cats is less birds.

In the past, Zheng Tan had seen the cats around him catch sparrows several times.

Haven’t seen so many sparrows around here before.

Now these sparrows seem to be quite leisurely, and when I think about it, Zheng Tan didn’t see many cats when he went out for a walk during this time.

Winter is over, and there are quite a few cats in Chuhua University that are active at night.

Residents of the surrounding period may also think.

Just after the New Year, it is estimated that the person who was caught by the cat was taken away. After all, it used to be a serious loss of cats as soon as the Chinese New Year came.

Others don’t know, but Zheng Tan knows that since he was taken away by the cat dealer, Wei Ling, Ye Hao, Fang Sanye and others have all intervened. Although it can’t be said that there are no cats in Chuhua City, But much less than in the past few years.

Is it just a coincidence that cat dealers have started around here?

Zheng Tan recalled the replies he saw while browsing the forum.

There were suddenly fewer cats around, and there were many possibilities, but Zheng Tan didn’t want to be the one who guessed.

Looking up at the house, why does the black-and-white cat keep staring at the house?

curious?

Or hate?

Unable to think of the answer, Zheng Tan decided to find it himself.

Jumping on the fence, Zheng Tan looked at the layout over there.

The side of the house is facing the fence, and the gate is closed. The house has a small courtyard, estimated to be only seven or eight square meters, and nearly two-thirds of the place is a flower bed that is higher than the ground.

There were no flowers in the flower beds, and the soil in many places had been turned up. The only place that had not moved was the tree in the middle, which was about two meters high.

It’s just that the branches of that tree are bare, and by this time there is no tendency to sprout, there is no greenery, and it is not known whether it is dead or alive.

The back door of the house was closed, and there was a strange smell in the small yard.

Zheng Tan took a sniff and couldn’t tell what it was, but he felt very bad.

Jumping off the fence and landing on the flower bed was not on the flower bed. This flower bed always gave Zheng Tan a fluffy feeling.

Obviously the temperature has risen, the weather is sunny, and it is rare to see the blue sky, which should give the impression of being fresh and refreshing, but Zheng Tan always feels a little chilly when he stands in the yard.

A gust of breeze blew past, forming a whirlpool in the yard, and the thin plastic sheet of paper floating from nowhere on the ground was dragged up by the wind, swirled and landed again.

Some of the hairs erected on Zheng Tan’s body were also stroked by the blowing wind, which was completely different from the leisurely and leisurely sunbathing in normal days. Instead, Zheng Tan felt that the subtle sensations transmitted by each hair through the nerves under the skin were chilly.

Zheng Tan was startled by a sudden light sound on the wall, turned his head to look over, and found that it was the black and white tabby cat.

Seeing Zheng Tan here, the cat was also surprised, hesitating on the wall before jumping down.

Unlike Zheng Tan, its foothold is on the flower bed.

Seeing the black-and-white cat staring at him vigilantly, Zheng Tan took a few steps back. He didn’t intend to fight this cat here.

Maybe it was because he felt that Zheng Tan was no longer a threat. After the cat looked at Zheng Tan for a few times, it sniffed everywhere on the flower bed, found a place, and then began to move its paws to dig the soil.

What’s buried in it?

Zheng Tan was curious, but his intuition told Zheng Tan that there would never be a beautiful scene under the soil.

It may be buried a little deep, but fortunately, the soil of the flower bed was not stepped on firmly. After the flower cat had been planing for about five minutes, it stopped for a while, sniffed there, and then continued to plan.

There was nothing around that could make Zheng Tan stand on the top to see the situation in the flower bed. No one around was paying attention anyway. Zheng Tan stood up and supported on his two hind legs.

In the flower bed, the cat ran into a pit. In the pit, Zheng Tan saw a cat’s paw that was exposed, and the rest was still buried in the soil.

Although there was dirt sticking to it, Zheng Tan could still see some black lines crisscrossing the soles of his feet, as if they were burnt.

The flower cat was still digging the soil, and Zheng Tan didn’t want to watch it any longer.

He can be sure that there is definitely more than one cat buried in it.

Sometimes cats hold more grudges than dogs.

Zheng Tan didn’t know what the cat buried under the soil of the flower bed had to do with the cat, but the cat had written down this grudge, otherwise it wouldn’t have sat on the tree and stared at it for a long time.

At that time, Zheng Tan couldn’t see the eyes of the cat squatting on the tree and staring at the house. It might be hatred or something else.

I didn’t look at the flower beds again.

Zheng Tan jumped to the window at the back door of the house.

The windows remained closed.

Inside is the kitchen.

Zheng Tan stood on the window sill, his eyes passed through the transparent glass window, and he saw something lying on the ground inside. This thing Zheng Tan was very familiar with.

Every time I see this thing.

Zheng Tan was quite hot.

fuck.

Catch the cat cage!

As soon as he saw the cat cage, Zheng Tan would recall his unpleasant experience.

Cat traps are not difficult to make, and anyone familiar with mouse traps can make one by themselves, however.

In the clean kitchen, I suddenly saw a cat-catcher cage, which made me feel a little inconsistent.

Why is there such a thing in a seemingly elite family?

All this has made Zheng Tan sure that the guy who broke the coffee is really not a good thing!

On the backyard side, the windows were well closed, and the ventilation area was blocked by barbed wire. Apart from this, the windows in other places on the first floor were basically equipped with anti-theft nets, and Zheng Tan could not find a place to enter.

Since there is no chance on the first floor, then look for it on the second floor.

Jumping on the fence, Zheng Tan walked along the surrounding area, and finally found a small window on the side of the fence. The glass window was half opened, and the other half was blocked by the screen, but the screen was only to stop the insects. , the cat can not stop.

Zheng Tan estimated the distance from the wall to that side, stood on tiptoe, and jumped over with his hind legs.

The technique of turning over the wall and turning over the window, Zheng Tan has already mastered it, so Zheng Tan is very confident in this jump.

only……

The small window looked quite ordinary, but when Zheng Tan put his paw on it, he found that it was slipping!

If it wasn’t for the quick reaction, he kicked his hind legs on the wall a few times, and his front claws also hooked the metal mesh on the screen window, and he might have fallen.

It doesn’t matter to the cat that the second floor falls, but the point is that the gap between the house and the fence is a gutter below.

Originally, there were some slates covering the top of the ditch, but the slate facing the window was not where it was supposed to be, but was moved to the side by someone unknown.

Climbing up the narrow window sill and hooking the screen window to stand firm, Zheng Tan glanced at the drainage ditch below, scolding the person who moved the slate away inwardly.

so close!

I almost fell. Although it was okay to fall from the second floor, I would probably get wet if I fell into the drain, and it was still full of stinky water. Maybe someone would urinate and spit in it.

Looking back, Zheng Tan looked at the narrow windowsill again.

Different from what it looks like, the window sill is covered with a layer of smooth hard material, with a slight downward sloping arc. The cat’s claws are easy to slip when nailed on it. Fortunately, Zheng Tan’s claws are a little harder. The claw strength is also stronger, and there is a chance to climb up, otherwise it will slide down.

Pulling open the screen window, Zheng Tan took a look inside.

This is a bathroom, which is modern and clean at this time, which makes Zheng Tan wonder if the owner has a cleanliness addiction.

Coming to the door of the bathroom, Zheng Tan listened carefully to the movement on the other side of the door, but did not hear footsteps or voices.

Jumping up and flipping the door handle of the bathroom, Zheng Tan walked out.

Knowing that the owner of the house was abusing cats, Zheng Tan had to be more careful, not to be as careless as when he jumped out of the window just now.

The house was fairly tidy, and this person’s life was obviously different from that of the tattooed man.

I didn’t find anything like cameras around. The living room was clear at a glance. There were three rooms, but unfortunately every room was locked, and Zheng Tan couldn’t get in at all.

After turning around and not finding anything, Zheng Tan returned according to the original route.

In the yard, the cat is no longer there, and the hole dug out on the flower bed has also been refilled, but after all, this is just a cat, and unlike Zheng Tan, it cannot be done in a more detailed level. It’s just a layer of soil, and the pits can still be seen.

Zheng Tan helped fill it in.

Back at Chuhua University, everything was business as usual. After sending Xiaoyouzi to school in the afternoon, Zheng Tan was going to go back to the Internet and watch some small movies.

“Hey, Hei Tan, I’m so happy to see you, help open the door, I forgot my key!”

Er Mao was carrying a lunch box and a few bags in his hand, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

Com was standing at the door downstairs. At this time, he didn’t see anyone else entering or leaving the building. He just waited for Zheng Tan.

Since he didn’t plan to go out for a walk, Zheng Tan didn’t hide the cat tag hanging around his neck in the tree.

Glancing at the person who just ate the first meal of the day with contempt, he jumped up and swiped the access card, Zheng Tan went upstairs in front of Er Mao.

Just after the third floor, Zheng Tan suddenly thought, Ermao didn’t bring the access card, do you have the door key?

So, Zheng Tan, who had already reached the corner between the third and fourth floors, stopped and looked over there.

Er Mao in front of the door put the things in his hand aside, took out his pocket, did not take out the key, but took out an iron ring.

The iron ring is not closed, but is wound with another iron wire. Er Mao broke the iron wire into a cross and inserted it into the keyhole.

Zheng Tan was shocked.

Pick the lock?

What the hell!

This guy actually has this technology!
