The male supporting character was actually myself.

It's only been a few days since I turned into a cat?

They've actually learned to assess the situation and temporarily avoid confrontation!

This was a great improvement, and Ye Xingluo felt happy that she could be flexible and adaptable.

He then glared fiercely at the orange cat, "You fatso, did you snitch on me?"

"You actually called me a 'fatso'?" Orange cat Doubao pouted, feeling wronged. "Tangyuan, you've changed! You think I'm fat!"

Don't forget who told me to eat whatever I wanted;

Who feeds me extra cat food every night?

I'm only a little bit chubby now, and you already think I'm fat!

Okay, you must have found another female cat outside, so you deliberately fattened me up and then complained about me!

"I'll scratch you to death, you heartless bastard!"

Ye Xingluo: ? ? ?

"Damn it! You're really scratching me?" he yelled as he dodged. "Are you out of your mind? So what if I say you're fat? You are fat!"

I'll fight you to the death!

"Damn it, if you keep acting unreasonably, I'm not going to give in to you!"

"Orange cats never fear!"

……

The black cat and the orange cat were fighting in the living room, making their fur fly everywhere. What annoyed Ye Xingluo was that the orange cat, Doubao, actually tried to use its weight to forcibly crush her. However, because she was tolerant of the mother cat and had indeed interacted with her before, she didn't really fight back.

As a result, Ye Xingluo, who had never lost in helping his underlings seize territory outside, got a couple of solid scratches.

The victorious side, "Big Orange Cat," walked tearfully to its food bowl, complaining as it ate its cat food, "They actually think I'm fat? I grew this fat on my own merits!"

"You wait, don't let me catch that little female cat you've found outside, or I'll crush it... Ooh ooh, this cat food is so delicious! Hmph, I'm going to eat it all up, you heartless glutinous rice ball, you can go hungry!"

Ye Xingluo: (???)

Why did I call it "fatty" just now?

And then, for no reason at all, I got beaten up...

………………

A new week began, and at six o'clock on Tuesday morning, Ye Xingluo finally got the main quest to start.

Main Quest: Investigate the missing baby case. Time Limit: 24 hours.

"No way? Another such short sentence?"

He straightened up the moment he received the task, and then, upon seeing the countdown and the task details, he felt an excruciating headache.

At least there were some clues about the last stray dog ​​incident, since I often played with stray dogs while doing daily quests. But this quest... what baby? Where did the baby go missing?

Just as Ye Xingluo was completely confused, Jiang Chen, who was asleep, suddenly received a task from the main system.

[Task: Open your laptop within five minutes and keep it out of your sight. Reward: One million RMB.]

Turn on the computer?

Jiang Chen sat up and rubbed his temples, feeling a little strange. What was the protagonist trying to do?

Chapter Twenty-Four: I'm the Main Force in Solving Cases

Just as Ye Xinglu was at her wit's end, she saw Jiang Chen, dressed in pajamas, come out, place her already opened laptop on the dining table, and then, yawning, take her phone and go into the bathroom.

"System, I'll search for information using my laptop now. If Ji Jiangchen can't see it, does that count as a leak of his identity?"

[As long as you're not seen using a laptop, it doesn't count as a leak.]

After receiving an accurate reply, Ye Xingluo furtively stared in the direction of the bathroom, then quickly used her paws to open a website and begin searching for missing babies.

A bunch of similar news articles popped up on the webpage.

He slowly slid his claws along the ground, searching carefully.

The tasks issued by the system must have just happened recently, and they are unlikely to be too far away from you.

A few seconds later, Ye Xingluo locked onto a news item.

Yesterday afternoon, in a small village in a suburban county of this city, a new mother was washing clothes in her yard while her three-month-old baby lay in a cradle sleeping under a flowering tree.

She just went into the room to get something, which took no more than three minutes.

After washing and hanging up the clothes, she was worried about the baby getting sunburned. When she was about to move the crib, she realized the baby was gone.

By this time, more than half an hour had passed since the baby left sight.

The village has few surveillance cameras, and at the time of the incident, it was market day, so most people were outside the village.

There were no witnesses; and no useful clues.

The baby's family posted a photo of their chubby, healthy baby sleeping, hoping that the photos would be shared so that their child could be found quickly.

Thanks to the power of the internet, in addition to the police investigation, many volunteers have now joined the search effort.

"Ha..." The little white cat stretched and leaned lazily against its host's face, looking at the synced information on its phone. "Host, what is the protagonist up to?"

"Is he tasked with finding a child?" Jiang Chen wasn't sure.

But the main system suddenly issued a task, clearly indicating that the protagonist urgently needed help.

The information he searched on the computer, which he could also see on his mobile phone, was just one case of a missing baby.

Based on Ye Xingluo's previous tireless efforts to rescue stray dogs, he figured it must be a system mission.

[Mission: Assist Tangyuan in investigating the missing baby case and solve it within 24 hours. Reward: 50 million RMB.]

Xiao Bai slumped over, grumbling, "Are you so blatantly using my host as a tool? The main system is so biased!"

After washing up, Jiang Chen emerged from the bathroom looking refreshed.

He brought out a sumptuous breakfast from the kitchen and, in front of the big black cat, made a phone call to his girlfriend, "Chengcheng, the resignation I asked you about last time has been processed."

I don't have any other plans right now. I just saw that a volunteer organization is helping to find a missing baby in Yulan Village, and I'd like to go and help out too.

I'll be back by tomorrow at the latest.

Based on the analysis I've seen online, it's highly likely that the volunteers started from Yulan Village and spread outwards to other villages and towns to search for clues.

There's strength in numbers, right? Maybe we can find witnesses.

Don't worry, although it's mountainous there, the roads aren't too difficult to travel. I'll be careful!

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen ate breakfast slowly.

"I was wrong, really!" Ye Xingluo straightened up and placed her paws on his knees, excitedly saying, "I used to think you were a devil, no! You're an angel!"

How can you be so kind?

I was worried about not being able to get to the crime scene in such a short time, but now it's great, I can go with you.

Don't worry, I will do my best to use my strengths to help find the baby!

The little white fluffy ball of food ate the dried fish with gusto, glanced at him and said sarcastically, "You think you can take that?"

If you're so capable, don't ask my host for help!

If it weren't for the main system's task forcing him to do things for you, would you really think you could handle it?

I wonder who got caught in the net and is waiting for my host to rescue them…

As soon as Jiang Chen opened the car door after packing his things, Ye Xingluo seized the opportunity and jumped into the car, taking a seat in the passenger seat.

"Are you going too?" He closed the car door and fastened his seatbelt. "Be good and don't cause any trouble."

Ye Xingluo meowed, "To be honest, I was the main force in solving this case!"

The little white cat, clutching its fluffy short paws, said, "Heh, I advise you to have some self-awareness!"

Yulan Village in Li County is located in a mountainous area and is geographically somewhat remote.

It takes about two and a half hours to drive there from the city center.

After a bumpy ride, just when Ye Xinglu was about to vomit from the shaking, the car finally stopped.

Many self-organized volunteer convoys have already arrived and are assigning tasks to visit surrounding villages and towns.

"I'll go find that stray cat and ask it what's going on!" Ye Xinglu jumped out of the car window and greeted the cat on the earthen wall by the roadside.

The other party was clearly somewhat hostile.

But after Ye Xingluo demonstrated his strength, the wildcat licked its fur and pointed with its paw at the courtyard full of pear blossoms, "Since yesterday, the village has been incredibly lively, everyone is coming to help Old Hu's family find their child."

In my opinion, they should investigate thoroughly!

Many people in the village didn't know. Old Hu's family kept it a secret and acted very well, but who in the village didn't know about the cats and dogs?

Old Hu's wife wasn't pregnant at all!

They secretly brought that child home at night!

Baby trafficking?

Ye Xingluo immediately straightened up, "Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true! I even heard her mother-in-law say it with my own ears, that she spent all her savings to get a wife, but ended up marrying a barren hen."

Humans are really interesting, always using other species to insult each other.

What's wrong with the hen?

Did she provoke him by not laying eggs?

Get to the point!

The stray cat scoffed impatiently, "It's nothing special."

The old woman couldn't bear to divorce the daughter-in-law she had spent a fortune to marry, and she also wanted to have a grandson.

But Old Hu's wife couldn't get pregnant.

They discussed faking a pregnancy, and when the time was right, they brought home a baby who was a month old and held a baby's one-month celebration.
