"Is that so? But it could have accidentally overslept somewhere, so don't worry too much, Lenai-chan."

Aine tried to understand her words and tried to comfort her, but Lena just shook her head.

Then he stood up and walked to the other side.

"Eh? Where are you going, Lenai-chan?"

"I'm going to go find it. It must have been captured by bad guys. I want to save it."

Lenai stopped and looked back at Aine firmly. Aine also realized her determination from her expression. Aine thought for a moment and took out her phone to quickly send a message to Riki. Then she nodded vigorously.

"Okay, let's go rescue it together. It would be dangerous for you to go alone, Lenai."

"Interesting woman, thank you."

Hearing her words, Lena's expression softened a lot. She trotted over and gently nuzzled Aine's face, then turned and ran forward.

"follow me,"

"Wow, Lenai-chan, run slower!"

Aiyin hurriedly followed her footsteps, passing through alleys she didn't recognize. The surrounding environment became more and more remote, making Aiyin hesitate.

"Lena-chan, are you sure this is the way? Lena-chan?"

But Lenai didn't answer her. Instead, he focused on the front and kept running forward without thinking too much, as if he had chosen the direction instinctively.

Finally, Lenai stopped in front of a dilapidated building. Aiyin walked forward with a slight breath, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she saw the somewhat gloomy place in front of her.

"Leuna-chan... I think we should wait for Rikki and the others to arrive, what do you think? It might be dangerous here, and if we rely on ourselves..."

"That's too late,"

Le Nai shook her head slightly and without hesitation, she stepped into the room. Aine was startled for a moment, sighed, and quickly followed.

There was a not-so-pleasant smell, vulgar graffiti everywhere, and the lights on the ceiling seemed to be broken. This place was just as Aine had imagined, and it couldn't be any worse.

"Hello, is anyone here? Sorry to bother you, we're looking for a cat..."

Aine bravely called out a few times, but there was no response. Lena strode forward very calmly, leaving Aine helplessly following behind her.

After going up the stairs, Lena came to a dilapidated door. Before Aine could ask, she slammed the door hard. The noise frightened Aine's body.

"Leuna-chan, don't be so rough. And are you sure it's here? You'll definitely get a good scolding if you make a mistake."

"Definitely here,"

Le Nai nodded with certainty and continued to bang on the door. An impatient tsk sound came from inside. After a while, the door opened and a young man with a gloomy face poked his head out.

"What?"

"Hello, we're so sorry, we're here looking for a cat!"

Aine clearly saw the displeasure on his face. She was afraid that Lenai would anger him, so she quickly put her hands together and spoke sincerely.

"There are no cats here, get out of here."

The young man looked at her indifferently for a few seconds, then waved his hand, and Aine nodded desperately and raised her hand to pull Lenae away.

"Lena-chan, you heard what he said too. We must have made a mistake. We should look somewhere else..."

"You lied,"

But Lena broke free from her hand and stared at the young man in front of her with an expressionless face. Aine even had an illusion: at this moment, Lena's pupils began to shrink into thin lines.

"There are a lot of cats and a lot of blood here. The one like me is here too, right?"

"Little girl, I don't understand what you are saying,"

The young man sneered.

"If you're looking for trouble, I won't go easy on you just because you're young, understand?"

"Wait! I apologize on her behalf, she meant no harm!"

Seeing him being so rude, Aine hurriedly stood in front of Lena in panic, forcing a smile.

"We'll leave now. Please don't mind it. She just made a mistake."

"Then hurry up..."

This time, Lena waited for Aine to finish her words, but as soon as Aine finished speaking, she rushed out from behind her, nimbly pushed the young man aside and rushed into the house. The latter immediately burst into an angry roar.

"Little brat! What do you want to do?!"

He clenched his fists and wanted to chase after her. Although Aine was at a loss, she subconsciously grabbed his arm to stop him.

But her strength was no match for his after all, and Aine was only able to delay for a moment before she was dragged stumbling inside.

"Wait! Please don't be angry! I will take her away... cough cough cough."

She tried to dissuade him in a panic, but as soon as she entered the house, she felt a disgusting smell of sour meat entering her throat, which made her cough.

"Let me go!"

The young man angrily threw her aside, and Aine finally managed to steady herself. However, by then, Rakuna had already rushed to a pot in the kitchen. She hesitated a little, but finally took off the lid.

“…Tsk.”

Then, Aine was surprised to see the young man's eager steps suddenly stop. He tutted in dissatisfaction, as if he was very annoyed.

Why did he stop suddenly?

The situation in the pot was blocked by the young man's body. Aine poked her head out in confusion, but then her body froze.

The pot was boiling with bloody water with bits of meat and hair floating in it. The broken corpse of a vaguely white cat lay in it. Its yellow and blue eyes were broken, and the cat's face was twisted into an indescribable horror because of the pain before death.

Apparently, it was thrown directly into the pot and boiled alive.

Chapter 12 Police Station Meeting

"I've said it many times, Mr. Officer, I do hate him, but the conflict between us is not so great that I would do something like this."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed and quietly explained her innocence.

"Besides, I'm just a high school girl. Do you think I have the ability to beat a grown man like this?"

"Please don't get excited, Ms. Toyokawa, I just want to know more information,"

Officer Juntian shook his head.

"I don't think you're a suspect in this regard, but you do have some issues with the victim, so I have to follow the procedures."

"Then please finish it quickly,"

Xiangzi frowned slightly, turned her head to look at the clock on the wall, and considered her available free time.

Officer Junta continued to ask her some questions. From his questions, Shoko Toyokawa probably realized that the criminal's methods seemed very sophisticated. The surveillance camera did not capture any valuable footage, and there were no fingerprints on the murder weapon or the victim's body that had been found.

It seemed that this case was about to reach a stalemate, but she didn't care about that. To be honest, she was actually happy about the guy's miserable condition.

"Senior, I'm sorry to bother you, but there's something very important."

In the middle of the questioning, a young police officer suddenly knocked on the door cautiously. Juntian Sosuke turned to look at him with some doubts, while the young man looked at Xiangzi with concern, walked to his side and explained in a low voice,

Xiangzi could vaguely hear words like "Toyokawa, there's nothing I can do," and Officer Juntian nodded thoughtfully. He thought for a moment, then looked at Xiangzi Toyokawa.

"I'm sorry for taking up your time, Ms. Toyokawa, you may leave now."

"Um,"

Realizing that it was the family that was pressuring the police

Feeling the pressure, Toyokawa Shoko's mood couldn't help but become worse. She nodded coldly, stood up, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Policeman, I know what we did was wrong, but this is too much no matter how you look at it!"

But the next moment, a familiar and urgent voice suddenly came from outside. Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, and after trying hard to recall, he remembered the person who spoke the voice.

Chihaya Aine? Why is she here?

Xiangzi frowned. She walked carefully to the door, slightly stuck her head out and looked outside. She found that the pink-haired girl was arguing with the policeman with disapproval, and the white-haired girl was sitting dejectedly on the other side.

"Well, I understand that you have a love for animals, and that's a good thing... but killing stray cats isn't illegal."

The police sighed with a headache.

"If the cat is yours, you can ask him for compensation, but there is no record of the cat being listed, so there is nothing we can do."

"But, even so..."

Aine thought hard and tried to find words to refute the argument, but in the end she had to admit that the police were right.

The feeling of powerlessness made her sigh deeply, and the next moment the gloomy young man walked in front of Aine. He looked at her with contempt, then turned to look at the police.

"Mr. Officer, now that you've figured out the truth, I should be able to leave, right?"

"certainly,"

The police officer spread his hands, and the young man sneered and turned to Aine and raised his middle finger.

"Since you don't know anything, I won't hold you responsible for trespassing. Take your companions and get out of here."

"You guy..."

Chihaya Aine felt anger rushing into her head, and she couldn't help but clench her fists, while the young man walked out the door with his hands in his pockets without a care in the world.

She frowned and stared at his back, but in the midst of her resentment, she suddenly felt a strange feeling and turned her head subconsciously.

"hiss,"

Toyokawa Shoko quickly hid her body behind the wall, quickly avoiding Aine's gaze, and sighed as her heart sank.

I'm in trouble. I didn't expect that the residents upstairs would have a conflict with the two members of the MyGo band. Judging from their looks, they won't let it go. If my address is exposed, I'll be in trouble.

What should she do now...move quickly? But her current tenement building was the best she could afford, and she couldn't move until Avemujica's salary arrived.

Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her temples with a headache, but she had forgotten that Officer Juntian was still in the room. He raised his eyebrows at her distressed expression and turned to look at the situation outside.

"Those two girls are your friends? Did you have a fight?"

"No, it's not,"

Xiangzi pursed his lips and shook his head, while he nodded thoughtfully.

"You don't want them to find you, but you don't want to have any conflicts with them. That means they will cause you trouble, right?"

"That's none of your business, is it, Mr. Officer?"

Xiangzi couldn't help but frown when he guessed his thoughts, and Officer Juntian also spread his hands.

"Sorry, it's just an occupational hazard... You can leave whenever you want, we don't mind."

"Thanks,"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly, and she cautiously leaned forward slowly, but the next moment she met Chihaya Aine's gaze directly, and she quickly retracted her head in fright.

Damn it, wasn't it discovered right away?!

"Hmm? Is anyone over there?"

Before Aine could figure out why she felt this way, she saw someone's head pop out and then suddenly hide back, with a flash of blue hair.

The inexplicable throbbing in her heart made her take a small step forward, but the next moment Shiina Riki's voice pulled her back to consciousness.

"Wildcat...why do you look like that? Where's Aine?"

"I'm here, Rikki,"

Ignoring this strange feeling, Aiyin quickly waved and ran over. Li Xi's brows relaxed a little when he saw that she was fine. He nodded slightly and turned his cold gaze to the young man who was blocked by her at the door.

"As long as you're okay... You've already texted me the details, so this guy must be the pervert who tortured and killed stray cats, right?"

"Tsk, what do I do is none of your business?"

The young man raised his hand contemptuously, wanting to push her away, but Li Xi was faster. She quickly and coldly intercepted his wrist and swung it hard, causing him to stumble back.

"I don't care about your affairs at all, but you treated our band members very badly. I hope you can apologize to them. Do you understand?"

After seeing the message from Aine, she was very upset with this pervert, and this upset turned into annoyance after seeing Lenna's sad expression at this time.

Wildcat always looks free and easy, and this is the first time she has seen her with this expression. If she didn't look injured, Lixi would have attacked her right away.

"What the hell are you talking about? Asking me to apologize? I haven't even bothered with them breaking into my room yet."

"So, you refused?"

Shiina Riki clenched her fists, but before she took a step, Nagasaki Suyo reluctantly raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder to stop her.
