I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Chapter 107 The Cause of the Disaster

Young Hao Jie was standing under a tree. She looked unhappy. She pulled leaves all over the ground and cursed something.

At this time, several kittens crawled to her feet, one of them climbed onto her shoes, looked up and meowed at her.

Hao Jie kicked the kitten away, but still not feeling satisfied, she picked up two more kittens at her feet, lifted them above her head and slammed them to the ground. The kittens didn't even have time to cry out before they fell to the ground and lay motionless. Hao Jie then stomped on them a few more times.

Su Xiaoxiao's scalp tingled when she saw this. How could she have the heart to kill such a small cat, only about a month old? !

Looking at Hao Jie's delicate appearance, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't equate the cruel man who threw the cat with her, so she called Hao Jie.

"Wait a minute, I have another question for you."

"Do you have any other questions?" Hao Jie looked impatient.

"I want to ask you, when you threw the cat to death 22 years ago, was anyone seen?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Hao Jie was slightly surprised.

She did drop a cat to death.

At that time, she had just graduated from college and had a boyfriend who was in love with her. They had agreed that she would come back first and her boyfriend would come to her city after graduating from college, so that they could be together forever.

However, not long after, her boyfriend changed his mind, saying that his parents did not agree with him going to her city, he could not fulfill his promise, and he did not want to delay her, so he broke up with her.

She said she could go to his city, but her boyfriend said he couldn't let her sacrifice too much for him, otherwise he would feel guilty and insisted on breaking up. She later found out that the so-called parents' disapproval was just an excuse, because he fell in love with another school girl.

After she knew the truth, she was furious. Those cats just happened to bother her. She didn't like these little animals in the first place, so she took out her anger on the kittens. Throwing the kittens to death was like throwing a scumbag to death.

After venting her anger, she felt a little scared when she saw the kitten’s head was bleeding, so she ran away in a hurry.

She had never told anyone about this. How did this little policewoman know about it?

"You know what I'm talking about. Let me ask you again, did anyone see you throw those two kittens to death?"

Hao Jie was shocked by Su Xiaoxiao's stern gaze and felt a little guilty for a moment.

"Even if I did drop a cat to death, what does that have to do with the case back then? Why should I answer this question?"

"Since I'm asking you, it must be related to the case back then. You must answer. This is very important. It's related to whether we can catch the criminal who hurt you back then."

"You mean, that person hurt me because I dropped the cat?" Hao Jie looked horrified.

"I can't be sure yet, but it's possible."

Hao Jie was stunned. She never thought that the cause of the disaster that year would be this.

"I don't know. I was a little scared after I killed the kitten in a fit of rage. When I heard footsteps behind me, I ran away. I don't know if anyone saw me."

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Su Xiaoxiao let Hao Jie go. Hao Jie looked a little flustered as she left.

Xiao Yu and Li Yan looked at it in confusion before they reacted.

"How do you know she dropped a cat to death?" Li Yan asked curiously. Xiao Yu beside her also had a curious look on his face.

How did she know? She saw it, but she couldn’t tell these two.

"I don't know, I just tricked her. Xiao Yu, didn't you say yesterday that the murderer might be a cat lover? This gave me some inspiration. I wondered if the murderer didn't act aimlessly but targeted a specific person, then what would his goal be?

Since he is a cat lover, his target may be people who abuse cats. He is seeking revenge for the cats, so he leaves cat claw marks on them. Since they hurt cats, he will hurt them and make them live with the marks of cat claws for the rest of their lives.

So I asked her if she liked cats, and when she said no, I tricked her a little further, and I didn’t expect that I actually tricked her out.”

Su Xiaoxiao explained seriously, and Xiaoyu and Li Yan's eyes lit up. So that's how it was? !

"However, I cannot be sure yet. Only after we meet the second victim can we know whether my guess is correct."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go now." Xiao Yu became excited.

The second victim was Yuan Xiuli. She was 24 years old when the incident happened. She and Hao Jie were assaulted in the same year, but a few months apart.

Now she no longer lives in Jingzhong City, but in Tong County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhong City. Her life is not as comfortable as Hao Jie's. I heard that Yuan Xiuli's husband divorced her because of that incident, and later she married and moved to Tong County, and has lived in Tong County ever since.

Xiao Yu had never been to Tong County before, so he found everything new to him. Like a curious baby, he kept chattering and asking questions along the way.

With him livening up the atmosphere, the two-hour journey didn't feel boring at all.

When they arrived in Tong County, it was already noon, and they decided to find a place to eat first.

Tong County is very famous for its barbecue, and there is a street full of barbecue restaurants. Li Yan was in charge of contacting Yuan Xiuli. Li Yan knew that she and her husband also opened a barbecue restaurant, but she didn't know which one it was.

Never mind, let’s just find a place to fill our stomach.

The three of them walked into a restaurant at random. The restaurant business was not very good at noon, with only two tables of guests in total.

The proprietress was a middle-aged woman in her forties with slightly dark skin. Her eyebrows and eyes were not ugly, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were quite obvious.

As soon as they saw someone coming in, they immediately greeted them warmly and led them to the private room inside.

"What would you like to eat?" The proprietress looked at them with a smile.

"What are your specialties?" Xiao Yu said with an air of wealth and prestige.

"There are many. Our beef skewers, mutton skewers, grilled shrimps, grilled oysters, and grilled kidneys are all very good. If you want to eat stir-fried dishes, we also have them. My husband's grilled fish is also a specialty."

"Then I'll give you ten skewers of beef, mutton, and grilled shrimp, twenty grilled oysters, one grilled fish, and some stir-fried vegetables. Oh, and ten skewers of grilled buns."

The proprietress saw that they ordered a lot, her eyes narrowed with smiles, and she immediately asked the kitchen to prepare.

While waiting for the food, Su Xiaoxiao and the others talked about the case again. Xiao Yu was worried again. If things were really as Su Xiaoxiao guessed, how could they find the criminal who hurt people that year.

"Why do you think so much? Let's confirm it first. There must be a way out of the mountain of cars. We will definitely be able to find him."

As the three were talking, the proprietress brought out the grilled lamb and beef skewers and told them to eat first, as the rest would be ready soon.

Looking at the sizzling skewers of meat, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. He reached out and took a skewer, put it in his mouth and started chewing. Li Yan also picked up a skewer and started eating.

Su Xiaoxiao also took a string. The seasoning on it was quite substantial, with a thick layer of cumin, chili powder, and thirteen spices, which choked her nose.

She was about to open her mouth when she felt something grabbing the corner of her pants. She looked down and saw a cat.
