Chapter 25 Can you still understand what cats are saying?

Jiang Yuan turned around and saw a man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a black coat and a dark blue fisherman's hat.

The black and white cat exclaimed, "I've been digging in the dirt here for the past two days, and this human keeps chasing me away!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

She looked away, bent down, picked up the black and white cat, and left in silence.

The uncle kept staring at Jiang Yuan's back until she was out of sight before turning around.

He looked at the spot where the calico cat had scratched, and when his gaze fell on the exposed half of a finger, his expression suddenly changed, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Jiang Yuan carried the cow-patterned cat to a crowded part of the park, just as the system's voice rang out.

[System 009: New task triggered: Help Xixi. Task reward: Elephant Dictionary. Task failure: Heart-wrenching pain.]

Jiang Yuan looked down at the kitten in her arms and asked softly, "What's your name?"

The calico cat obediently replied, "My name is Xixi."

"Did you see who buried your master in the ground?"

"I saw him, but I don't know who he is."

"Wasn't that the same person from just now?"

"No."

Jiang Yuan frowned. "What happened before he buried your master in the ground?"

Xixi blinked her cat eyes and thought hard: "That day, my owner took me out and we met that person. My owner told him that he would buy a big house to live in after receiving the bonus."

"Bonus?" Jiang Yuan asked in confusion. "What bonus?"

XiXi: "The owner bought a piece of paper outside, saying that he had won a prize and could receive a lot of money."

Jiang Yuan: "Lottery?"

XiXi: "Yes, yes, yes! Master and the others are talking about the lottery!"

Jiang Yuan could already guess the general idea.

Xixi's owner won the lottery, and someone, seeing the money, killed him.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xixi cautiously said, "Miss, that human should have left already. Shall we go dig in the dirt again? I'm afraid my master will get bored staying in the dirt."

"You don't know, my master is terrified of being bored, and he always needs me to play with him."

"I haven't played with him for days, he must be really bored!"

Jiang Yuan paused for a few seconds, then raised her hand and rubbed its head. "Silly Xixi."

Xixi tilted her head in confusion, "Why did you call me a fool?"

"I'll tell you after I call the police." Jiang Yuan took out her phone and made a call.

She sat down in the pavilion with Xixi in her arms, unsure how to tell it such a cruel truth.

Its owner will never be bored again.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't seem worried at all, Xi Xi felt a little angry.

It jumped down from her arms, its round cat eyes staring at her: "Miss, are you unwilling to help save my master?"

“No,” Jiang Yuan explained gently, “the two of us can’t save your master.”

Xixi asked, puzzled, "Why? Isn't it enough to just dig the owner out of the ground?"

Jiang Yuan sighed, "Xixi, even if we dig out your master, he can no longer stay with you."

The little cat's face was full of confusion: "Why?"

Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky and said in a heavy tone, "He has already gone to heaven."

“Heaven…” Xixi murmured, her mood suddenly turning somber. “Master is dead, isn’t he?”

Jiang Yuan remained silent.

The cell phone rings suddenly.

She answered the phone; it was the police calling.

They have arrived at the entrance of Blue Bay Park.

Jiang Yuan looked at Xixi, whose head was lowered and ears were pressed back. It looked quiet and lonely, and sad.

"The police are coming, and they will pull your owner out of the ground."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Xi Xi did not react.

She took a breath and got up to walk towards the park entrance. Jiang Yuan spotted a familiar figure among the officers on duty.

"Miss Jiang?" Si Heng was somewhat surprised, then, after a moment's thought, he asked with a focused gaze, "You were the one who called the police?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes."

The third case.

Si Heng thought to himself.

Jiang Yuan led the police officers to Xixi, and as they walked, they found her.

"You must be lying to me!" Xixi said, feeling wronged. "Master definitely won't die!"

With other people around, Jiang Yuan couldn't talk to Xixi, so she stopped and hugged it, stroking its back to comfort it.

"Is this your cat?" Si Heng asked.

Jiang Yuan shook her head. "This is someone I just met. It was this person who led me to the body."

Si Heng raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

The appearance of the police attracted the attention of many people, including the uncle who chased away the cow cat.

In the easternmost corner of the park, Si Heng and his group discovered a small section of a human finger protruding from the soil as soon as they arrived.

His expression was grave as he instructed his men to record the scene and start shoveling soil.

"The exposed finger was dug out by the cat," Jiang Yuan said softly, standing next to Si Heng.

Si Heng's gaze fell on Xi Xi.

How could a cat know that a person was buried in the ground?

How did Jiang Yuan discover this?

"Boss!" A police officer approached Si Heng. "The body has been dug out."

**
Jiang Yuan carried Xixi and followed Si Heng and his group to the police station to give their statements.

As she was leaving, Si Heng called her back at the entrance of the police station.

"Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yuan stopped and turned to look at the upright man. "Is there anything else, Captain Si?"

"Is it a coincidence?" Si Heng strode up to her, his expression complicated.

Jiang Yuan met his gaze and said calmly, "What do you want to say?"

Si Heng glanced at the black and white cat in her arms. "Besides understanding dogs, you can understand cats too?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He actually guessed it?

wrong.

When I picked up Zhanzhan and Momo that day, I ran into Siheng buying fruit. Could it be that he saw me again when we went to eat coconut chicken later?

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and asked, "Were you also at Hai Le City that day?"

Si Heng explained, "Someone posted a video online, and I happened to come across it."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Why didn't I see it?
“Miss Jiang, you haven’t answered my question yet,” Si Heng said gently. “I’m not trying to pry into your privacy, but it’s just that it’s important to us.”

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Si Heng gazed at her, his dark eyes sparkling like dazzling stars in the night.

The next day, Jiang Yuan was called to the police station again.

This time, she didn't go to the interrogation room, but to the internal office of the criminal investigation team.

"Miss Jiang," Si Heng placed a steaming cup of coffee beside Jiang Yuan, "It's a bit chilly, have something hot to warm you up."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

She glanced at the steaming coffee, then her gaze returned to the man. "Captain Si, please just say what you have to say."

Si Heng smiled faintly and cut to the chase.

"The investigation results came out yesterday. The deceased was named Zou Yueming, 32 years old, orphaned, unmarried, and had only one cat with him, which should be the cat you were holding yesterday."
