Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Chapter Fourteen: Shinichi Kudo's Disdain

His lips twitched. He never expected that the first request he would receive as a transmigrator with a sophon would be to help a girl find her lost pet cat.

But after thinking about it, I agreed.

After all, you have to be able to walk before you can run. I have no reputation and am penniless. I can't be picky about the jobs I take now; I have to accept all comers.

I asked her about the cat's characteristics, and then asked her to send a picture of the cat to my phone. That way, I also got the girl's phone number.

Then, you can ask the other person to lead the way and take you to look around her neighborhood. Each cat has its own general range of activity and usually doesn't leave easily. Once you've narrowed it down to a certain area, it's much easier to find her, and you can also find out her address along the way.

The two left the classroom together, but the classroom became even more lively.

"Our Genda-kun is quite interesting. He actually wants to be a detective, and he immediately takes on a case to find a cat. That's quite unexpected."

"Heh heh, he's only fit for this kind of request. And Yoko, really, what's the point of hiring him? Why not go ask Kudo-kun next door?"

Outside the classroom, Shinichi Kudo, who was on his way home, happened to hear someone mention his name. Curious, he couldn't help but walk in.

"I just heard someone mention my name? Did something happen?"

The high school student who had just made the sarcastic remark suddenly brightened up when he saw Shinichi Kudo walk in, and hurriedly recounted what had happened.

At this moment, he became the focus of everyone's attention, which made him even more proud.

"That Gendagawa-kun is going to be a detective too? And he even got a request to find a cat?"

"That's right, that's exactly it, Kudo-kun. This guy actually wants to be a detective too. This is much more exciting than ordinary cases, isn't it?"

Shinichi Kudo was immediately uninterested. He couldn't help but scoff at the idea of ​​someone who had never shown any detective talent wanting to become a detective.

He curled his lip and said, "Being a detective isn't easy. Without talent, you'll never become a famous detective. Perhaps the bankruptcy of his family was a huge blow to him, causing this change in him. It's truly pitiful."

Everyone immediately became interested. Genda hadn't been to school for a long time, and there were some rumors circulating at the school. However, the collapse of such a behemoth as the Genji Group involved matters that ordinary people couldn't possibly know.

In addition, Genda River had never been particularly noticeable at school, so everyone quickly forgot about these things.

After all, this is a place of rice flowers, where there is never a shortage of urban legends and all sorts of explosive cases. The 'simple' people here can provide students with enough topics to talk about for ten thousand years, so they never pay too much attention to any one thing.

Now that Gendagawa has returned, he's caused quite a stir in the class. And now that Shinichi Kudo, a star figure, has come over to talk about the secrets surrounding Gendagawa, everyone is naturally very interested.

Although Shinichi Kudo was quite tactful and only gave a general overview, after all, he didn't know much about the situation, and as a detective, he wasn't particularly interested in business matters.

The reason he knew this was because of his father, Yusaku Kudo. He was very interested in this matter and had collected a lot of information about it. Moreover, he was a classmate of Yusaku Kudo at Teitan High School, which is how he learned about these things.

As he said these things, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but the other person's flattery made him feel a little smug, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

"So he's the eldest son of the Genji Group. No wonder. But now that the Genji Group is bankrupt, he can't act like a young master anymore."

The constant sarcastic remarks were one thing, but this blatant mockery finally got to the point where someone among the high school students couldn't hold back any longer:

"Enough, Abe! You've been making sarcastic remarks the whole time. Genda is our classmate, how can you talk like that? Even if you're trying to stand up for your good friend Kameda, this is still going too far!"

The boy who spoke was tall and burly, the captain of the basketball team. He frowned as he said these words, and the guy named Abe could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.

At this moment, Genda River had already arrived at Yoshiko's house with her. It has to be said that the custom-made sports car was indeed stable and fast, and also had a strong sense of acceleration.

Even though he only drove it once in the morning, he already fell in love with the feeling.

At this moment, the girl Fujita Yoshiko was also shocked. Although she didn't know much about cars, she could tell at a glance that this car was definitely worth a lot of money. It seems that this Genda-kun is not simple.

After parking the car in a nearby parking space, the girl led us to her home, a detached house that looked quite nice.

The so-called detached house is a type of housing that became popular in Japan in the 1960s and 70s. It is a design that is between a bungalow and a small villa. Nobita's house in Doraemon is a typical detached house.

These houses are mostly wooden structures and can't be considered villas, but they are still very comfortable for a family to live in.

"This is my home, Genda-kun. Please come in and rest for a while. I've been so rude."

Genda River shook his head: "Now is not the time to rest, let's start working."

The girl's big eyes sparkled beneath her black-rimmed glasses. This was Genda's first time being a detective, but she was surprisingly reliable.

She immediately took Genda River into the house. Her parents had not yet come home from get off work, so there was no one at home.

Led by her, we passed through the entrance hall and entered the living room. Next to the living room was the staircase to the second floor. After going up to the second floor, we entered the girl's room and came to a cat's bed.

"This is Gulu's bed; it usually sleeps here."

Gulu is Yoshiko Fujita's pet cat, a three-year-old bicolor male Ragdoll. The photo shows that the cat has white and chocolate fur.

The cat bed looked a bit old, but it was very clean, with only a few stray cat hairs scattered around.

The room was extremely tidy, with many books neatly arranged on the bookshelves and some cute dolls, all exuding a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The girl felt a little nervous as she watched Gendagawa brazenly peering into her room. Apart from her father, no boy had ever entered her room before.

He couldn't help but ask, "Did Genda-kun discover anything?"

Genda River pondered for a moment, then said with feigned seriousness, "We already have a clue, which should be enough for me to find this little guy who has just come of age."

He had just collected a few brown cat hairs, and after analyzing them, Zhizi came to a conclusion: the three-year-old male cat was in heat, and his male hormones were off the charts.

Clearly, the reason this big fat cat ran away from home was because of a little female cat, which makes the search direction clear.

start to act!

Chapter Fifteen: The Guide Cat

"You found a clue so quickly? Genda-kun is amazing!"

Seeing the smile on Genda River's face, the girl knew that he must have made a discovery, and she was greatly excited.

Then, without any hesitation, Genda River began to search the surrounding area.

Jia Youzi couldn't help but feel a little strange. She had searched around to see if anyone had seen her Gulu, but the feedback she received was that no one had seen it, which made her feel desperate.

Now, if Genda River tries to do the same, it will only end up being fruitless.

But if I remind him now that I've already said it before, will Genda misunderstand and think that I'm looking down on him?

As he was thinking, Genda River had already finished talking with a housewife.

"Thank you so much, you provided a very helpful clue."

Seeing the girl standing there in a daze, he stepped forward and said, "Let's go, let's hurry to the next one."

"Genda-kun, do you really have any leads? But I've asked the neighbors, and nobody has seen Gulu."

Genda-gawa smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Yoshiko-san, we'll know soon enough whether we can find you."

Then, he led the girl to knock on the doors of several houses and asked for the information he wanted. Only then did the girl understand what he was asking: whether there were any female cats in heat nearby. Why would she ask such a question?

However, seeing how serious he looked, I was too embarrassed to ask any more questions and could only follow behind him.

"Alright, now that we've identified a general area, here's the important part: we're going to a key location. Once we get there, we'll basically find the answer."

As he spoke, he led the girl toward a nearby open space, a gathering place for stray cats. It was already dusk, and many stray cats had gathered together in the open space.

Upon seeing people approaching, the stray cats immediately became alert, and many disappeared into the bushes. Only a few larger stray cats bared their teeth at the two people.

"Little one, we mean no harm. Look at this."

As he spoke, Genda River quickly squatted down and took out a sausage from his pocket. The smell of the sausage made the stray cats pause for a moment. Although they were still very wary, they slowly approached under the temptation of the food.

Then, after they got close, he slowly reached out and gently stroked their bushy little heads. His hand was very gentle, and the stray cats, who were very wary of humans, stiffened.

But this human hand seemed to have a magical power; the subtle electric shock brought an unprecedented feeling, as if I had returned to the feeling of being licked by my mother cat's tongue when I was a kitten.

In just a few seconds, the cat purred contentedly, closed its eyes, and rubbed its fluffy head against Gendagawa's palm.

The girl beside him stared wide-eyed, her expression filled with disbelief.

Anyone who has owned a cat knows that cats are very aloof creatures. Unless they are very familiar with their owners, they generally will not easily get close to strangers.

That's why many cat owners jokingly refer to themselves as "cat slaves" and their cats as "cat masters."

Stray cats are even more different from pet cats. Stray cats live in much worse conditions, and many of them become stray cats because they were abandoned by humans. Therefore, they are very wary of humans and will not get close to them.

But this Gendagawa student managed to get these stray cats so close in just a few seconds—that's amazing!

The girl didn't know that the reason Gendagawa was able to achieve what he had was actually quite complicated.

He was a cat owner in his past life and had many years of experience raising cats, so he has a good understanding of cats' habits.

However, that's not the most crucial thing. The most crucial thing is Somoko's assistance.

While petting the cat, Tomoko released a slight electric current, which instantly stimulated the cat's body, giving it a sauna-like massage experience, even better than catnip, so the cat instantly became addicted.

"Jia Youzi, you can touch these little guys too."

The girl was taken aback: "Can I too? I'm afraid they'll scratch me."

Genda chuckled softly, "It's alright, look how well-behaved these little guys are." As he spoke, he deliberately played with the cats, who all seemed very docile.

This instantly captivated the girl, who bent down and squatted on the ground, stroking the fluffy heads of the little creatures. The feeling of petting cats instantly overwhelmed her.

"Really, they are so well-behaved. I used to think that stray cats were all fierce. I used to tell Gulu that we shouldn't go out casually, otherwise we would be bullied by stray cats. It seems that I was worrying too much."

Hearing this, Genda chuckled to himself. Stray cats are indeed fierce. The reason they are so well-behaved now is not only due to his massage techniques, but also because of Tomoko's 'electrotherapy'. Otherwise, these guys would definitely have scratched him up.

Then Jia Youzi let loose a bit, petting several kittens. Behind her black-rimmed glasses, her big eyes curved into crescents, filled with an innocent smile.
