Chapter 184: A Cat Lives More Than a Human
"I object!" This time, Qin Lan and Luo Ping objected in unison again.
Then the two women seemed to have a tacit understanding. After looking at each other, Qin Lan made a gesture with his eyes.
"You are all students of Wuhan University, and you are all capable fighters. You actually choose to help others find pet cats. You are too talented and useless!" Luo Ping was the first to object when she received the message.
"Helping people find cats, it's too cheap to talk about it!" Qin Lan also added, expressing her opposition.
"How about, let's try the escort mission. Finding pet cats for others is really embarrassing!" Tian Lin also began to compromise.
In fact, he has another meaning. Being a guard has the longest task period, and it is best to waste time. You only need to protect the target, and you don't need to move around.
This kind of task is most suitable for the current situation. They need to take Lei Yi and others for a month, maybe one task can make up enough time.
Lei Yi glanced at Tian Lin, who looked stubborn, but he didn't expect his attitude to be so timid. When he saw two people objecting, he really succumbed.
"Ahem, what you two said is not unreasonable." Lei Yi finally spoke, first agreeing with Luo Ping, but then changed the tone: "However, I oppose your objection!"
"Two warriors from the Association, I want you to know one thing. This is the first time we have come to do team missions of the Warrior Association, so the experience in missions is about zero. If you try a mission with a high risk factor at this time , in case something goes wrong, I mean in case, can the two of you take this responsibility?" Lei Yi came to Tian Lin and looked at him squarely.
As soon as this remark came out, the latter really showed a thoughtful expression.
If something happened to the students of Wuhan University in Shanghai, Tian Lin really couldn't bear the responsibility. It should be said that the Martial Artists Association would definitely punish him.
Lei Yi also saw that Luo Ping's character was tough and difficult to break through, but this Tian Lin was different. The other party had a lot of worries, and he and Luo Ping could definitely be separated with words.
And this Tian Lin also has his own calculations, which can be seen from his push for long-term escort missions.
Thinking of this, he said again: "Although the task of finding a cat does not sound difficult, it is also a task that allows us to be familiar with the process of the task. And the five of us are acting together, so we can use this task to get to know each other's teammates. The ability between them is to prepare for the next team action, so no matter how simple the first task is, I think it should be done!"
After saying this,
He looked directly at Tian Lin.
Because of the two women, Qin Lan and Luo Ping, one has the mission of the imperial capital, and the other has a tough personality and is not easy to win over. Only Captain Tian is the one who can be persuaded.
"I think, what little student Lei Yi said is also reasonable, the task of finding a cat can be done!"
Sure enough, after weighing the pros and cons, Tian Lin really agreed.
"In that case, let's take it!" Lei Yi immediately pushed the boat along.
"But..." Qin Lan and Luo Ping still wanted to speak.
After Lei Yi heard their movements, he sneered: "There are five members in the team, and the minority obeys the majority. Bai Lisha and I agree, and Captain Tian has no objection. Why, are you two planning to divide the team? Shall we draw the line?"
As soon as this sentence came out, it blocked Qin Lan and Luo Ping's next words.
In desperation, the first task of the five-person team became to help people find a pet cat.
In front of the mission counter.
"Have you heard that the team led by Lao Tian is going to catch cats?"
"I see, they argued for a long time about this. Luo Ping has always opposed it, but I didn't expect them to accept it."
"I've been watching it all the time. It was suggested by those two brats from Wuhan University in the magical capital. They are so free that they are going to bother to find a cat."
"I'm laughing so hard, Lao Tian is going to find the cat, and he brought three little devils with him. If he can't complete the task, wouldn't he be ashamed!"
When Tian Lin took over this task, other martial artists from the surrounding associations were pointing and pointing, and some even whispered in small groups, discussing in low voices.
Lei Yi and Bai Lisa didn't pay any attention to the gazes around them, as if going out to find the cat was an honorable task.
This made Qin Lan and Luo Ping speechless for a while, especially Luo Ping's sullen face was even more ugly.
Soon, the task was accepted, and the five left the Warrior Association in a hurry.
"Strange, does that boy look familiar?"
"I seem to have seen him somewhere, have you seen him?"
"Hey, I also feel a little familiar after hearing you say that, but who is it?"
Soon, when the warriors of the association recalled the embarrassing incident just now, they found that Lei Yi had a kind face.
But they quickly vetoed it, because a person who can accept the task of finding a cat, if they really have an impression, how could they not be able to call out his name.
...
Magic City, Southeast New Area.
This area located in the southeast of the magic city belongs to the semi-central and semi-suburban area.
Lei Yi is no stranger, because he came here once when hunting down the murderous circus, and the Galaxy Playground is in this area.
At the moment, it is located in a suburban area, which is a residential area of garden villas.
The entrance of a villa with a garden.
Five people, including Tian Lin and Lei Yi, appeared here, and this was the address provided by the entrusting party.
"The five of us go in together?" Tian Lin said in an unnatural tone.
The Martial Artists Association has also received many such tasks in the past, but they always send intern warriors (prospective warriors), or some first-tier warriors who want to relax.
It is indeed a bit exaggerated for five people to act together like them, and there are third-rank warriors taking the lead.
"Hmph, it's a waste of time to find a cat so motivating!" Luo Ping snorted coldly, dissatisfied.
Qin Lan, who was standing next to her, also snorted coldly and stood aside with her waist in her arms.
"In that case, let's arrange for the two of them to watch out nearby, and the three of us will go in!" Lei Yi pointed to Luo Ping and Qin Lan, with a look of indifference.
As he said that, he rang the doorbell, and waited regardless of the unfriendly gazes of Luo Ping and Qin Lan behind him.
Soon, a white-haired old man in a tuxedo came out.
Tian Lin immediately stepped forward and expressed his intention.
"Are you here to help our wife find a cat?" The old man raised his eyelids and asked in a surprised tone.
"That's right, we accepted the task, so we came to investigate on the spot!" Lei Yi said with a smile.
The old man let it go naturally, but Luo Ping and Qin Lan really didn't come in, but chose to "let the wind" outside the door, or they didn't want to get involved in this task, they felt ashamed.
"It's okay, they belong to them, and we belong to us." Lei Yi didn't care.
But he also made a judgment in his heart. Qin Lan couldn't believe it. Luo Ping didn't deal with him. Although Tian Lin was close to him, he had a moderate personality, smooth things, and compromised preferences. He was definitely not a trustworthy person.
What he has to do next is to hide himself as much as possible during the mission, while keeping a distance from the three of them.
With a simple task, Lei Yi judged the character of these three teammates, as well as the next course of action.
Inside the villa.
Lei Yi met the owner of the cat, a middle-aged lady in her forties with heavy makeup.
"I have pity on my 'son', you are lost like this, mother is sorry for you, where are you..."
When the middle-aged lady saw Lei Yi and the others, she was crying. I don't know, she really thought she had lost her son.
"Madam, do you remember the last time you saw a cat?" Tian Lin started his daily inquiry.
"Of course I remember. My son is very good. He stayed in the room yesterday, but when I went to see him in the room early this morning, he disappeared..." the middle-aged lady said As he spoke, the tears couldn't stop flowing down again.
Lei Yi and Tian Lin looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Let's go to the scene and have a look, maybe we can find some clues!" Tian Lin finally couldn't stand the woman, so he could only say so.
"Housekeeper, take them to my son's room." The middle-aged lady quickly called the old man, and then said: "Be careful not to break things, they are all my son's precious toys!"
With dark faces, Lei Yi and the others followed the old man up the spiral staircase in the hall, and then came to a room on the second floor.
The room is very large, at least forty or fifty square meters, and it is filled with many building blocks, various furry animal toys, and a large pot of natural plant cat litter.
On the south wall of the room, hung a three-meter-high photo of a white cat, which was the missing cat.
Judging from this room, this cat is more precious than a human!
"Is this where the cat disappeared?" Tian Lin asked.
"Yes, this is where Madam's 'son' disappeared. The door has not been opened since last night and this morning, and it has been locked." The old housekeeper introduced.
"Why does your wife treat a cat as her son?" Lei Yi asked curiously.
"Because the master is not at home all the year round, and the young lady seldom comes back after getting married three years ago, the madam feels that the house is empty. Once the master came back, he brought a cat, and the madam took care of the cat like a son. It's been almost two years, and I have developed feelings!" The old housekeeper explained.
Lei Yi could see that the woman was crying without any pretense, it was more real than some people's acting, it seemed that she had real feelings.
"Since the missing place is here, let's look around!" Tian Lin glanced at the room and said hastily.
Lei Yi and Bai Lisa glanced at each other, then dispersed to search the room.
"Housekeeper, what's the matter with this cage?" After searching for a while, Lei Yi pointed to a metal cage like a birdcage and asked curiously.
"It's a hamster cage. Madam bought it for her. There were two little hamsters in it, but they disappeared together with Madam's son!" the housekeeper explained.
"Hey, buy a hamster for a cat as a pet?" Lei Yi curled his lips, the happiness of the rich is really unimaginable.
However, after Lei Yi took a closer look, he brought the cage to his nose and sniffed for a while, his brows gradually frowned.
"Lisa, can you smell something?" He picked up the cage and handed it to Bai Lisa next to him.
The latter picked up the cage, brought it up to his nose and sniffed it.
"It smells like blood!" Bai Lisa whispered.
"Sure enough, it seems that the cat doesn't treat the hamster as a pet, but as food!"
Lei Yi secretly said that it was true, but it did not help in finding the cat's whereabouts at all.
He glanced at the room and secretly guessed, where would this cat, which is more precious than a human being, be?
