Pet King

Chapter 966: Appearing Again

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The young woman changed into a village woman who was acting very shameless: She laid her whole body on the ground, rolled around in circles, and pedaled her legs and moved her arms. Full of tears and mucus, she yelled, “This doesn’t concern me! I don’t know anything! Someone else forced me to do this!”

The police officers often saw that kind of person and remained unmoved. However, they did gain a piece of information from her words: The woman was probably in a crime circle, and perhaps they could find a spot of weakness. If they did that, they could capture everyone in the criminal organization at once. All they needed to do was increase the pressure on her and she would definitely reveal everything she knew.

“If you have anything to say, you can tell the judge.” The two female police officers pulled her up forcefully from the ground, handcuffed her, and forced her into the police car like they were dragging a dead dog.

Her male colleague had already been captured and was waiting in the other police car.

The patrol police looked at the two auxiliary policemen to ask about the situation and found out that Zhang Zian was the first person to report the case. They came over to ask him some questions and record his statement.

It was normal operating procedure, so Zhang Zian did not refuse. He could wait for Old Time Tea and Famous to find him while he was recording his statement.

From their conversation, Zhang Zian got to know that there were some other people that had called the police just a few days ago. Judging from the age and how they dressed, the criminals they captured were likely the same people that were reported then. They had been a little more sly the first time, so by the time the police had rushed over, they had long disappeared.

The infant was already passed to the policewoman by the auxiliary police. The policewoman placed the infant in a car seat and opened the cloth that was wrapped around him to take a look at the situation. She was met with a strong, pungent smell.

It was a mess inside the cloth. There were feces and urine mixed together, and the suspects did not have any plans to change his diaper.

The policewoman endured the smell and used a wet cloth to help clean his body. She cleaned away the feces and the urine stuck on his body and instantly frowned, calling the head patrol police over.

“What’s wrong?” The head patrol police had Zhang Zian wait for a while and walked over to her.

The policewoman turned the infant around and pointed at the infant’s thigh to let him take a look. He saw that the infant’s originally white thigh had a huge patch of green and purple; there were faint fingerprints in the bruise, as well.

“It’s really f*cking...” the head of the patrol police could not help but scold.

Zhang Zian moved over to take a look and instantly understood why the female suspect could so accurately control when the infant cried to get the sympathy of the passersby. It turned out that every time she wanted him to cry, she would pinch his thigh harshly, making him cry out in pain.

Even the policewoman, who was not related to the case, felt sad upon seeing that. She said that it was lucky that the group of people had been caught, otherwise after being pinched a few more times, the flesh could have been pinched to the point that the blood was unable to flow properly. It would be permanently spoiled, and the child could have been left with an eternal disability.

However, it could have been that the criminal organization wanted the kid to be left with a disability... When the child grew slightly bigger, they could have him beg for money as a disabled child.

The old people who were looking on all sighed and said, “It’s really evil––really evil!”

The infant and the suspects all needed to be brought to the police station. The suspects needed to be questioned about where they got the infant from so they could find his biological parents. If he had been kidnapped, his biological parents would cry tears of joy upon seeing him. If his biological parents sold him off for money, however, then what waited for them would be punishment by the law, as well as society’s disapproval. The police’s official Weibo page might have even accidentally typed their number down wrong... It was just that the child had to suffer.

As to the criminal organization behind the suspects, the police promised to investigate until they found out the truth; they would not let a single one go.

The surrounding passersby donated some clean cloth to wrap the infant up again, in order to prevent him from getting cold.

Zhang Zian finished recording his statement and the police had him leave his contact information behind so they could contact him if there was anything else that they needed.

The surrounding passersby gradually left and the police car returned to the police station; even the two auxiliary policemen, whose name he did not even know, had left surreptitiously.

There was only Zhang Zian left at the scene––or it was more accurate to say that there was still a bird with him on his head.

“Zian, I came a bit late. What is going on? Why did you suddenly leave?” At that time, Old Time Tea and Famous rushed over. After all, there were too many people in the capital, and for a part of the journey Zhang Zian was sitting in the backseat of an electric bike. Famous was not able to follow his scent successfully and had only been able to meet him then.

They did not know what the situation was and were very worried the whole way. Famous ran until he was panting, his tongue hanging out to reduce the amount of heat in its body.

Zhang Zian was also quite tired. He found a long bench and sat to rest. He had them come over to sit and rest as well, and Richard, who did not want to be lonely, told the whole situation to Old Time Tea and Famous; he even added a few additional details.

Anger flashed in Old Time Tea’s face. “I thought that there would only be such shameless and horrible humans in the olden days. I did not think that in today’s well-developed world there would still be such situations that would make people grip at their wrists and give a long sigh...”

Famous’ panting finally evened out and it asked, “Nothing happened to the child, right?”

“The child is all right. There’s nothing very wrong. Before they find his biological parents, the police will definitely take good care of him,” Zhang Zian answered.

“That’s good. This is already something good despite all the misfortune.” Famous felt relieved.

Old Time Tea said, praising, “Zian, you handled this situation well. When you deal with things you need to be flexible, and the most important thing is that one’s every movement can change the course of events. The infant being saved was all due to your single, humane thought.”

Zhang Zian was embarrassed to be praised so much. He smiled and said, “It’s not all due to me. If I did not have the help of that traffic policeman and the two auxiliary police, then today’s situation would have been troublesome... I’ve also troubled the two of you. You must have walked around in quite a few circles before you managed to find your way here, right?”

Old Time Tea chuckled and was about to answer when suddenly its ears twitched and it turned its head, alert.

“A single humane thought? Haha! It’s more like soft-heartedness, right?” a voice full of mockery sounded from not far away.

Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea were shocked at the same time. He wondered in his heart who had heard what Old Time Tea had said.

They looked to where Old Time Tea was looking and saw, under the shadow of a tall pagoda tree, a cat squatting low. They did not know when it got there, and it was staring at Zhang Zian with a look that was like a smile, but not a smile.

F*ck! Isn’t that the Warding Off Evil Cat? Did it follow us? Zhang Zian was suddenly shocked. He was scared that it would run again, so he instinctively reached out to find his phone, but resisted the urge forcefully.

However, the Warding Off Evil Cat did not want to run. Instead, it walked leisurely out of the shadow of the tree and slowly walked towards them.

Before that, besides the time where it was sitting at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, every time it appeared, it was sitting under a tree or hiding in the shadows. Until then, Zhang Zian had not truly seen what it looked liked. He could only remember its gaze, which was deep and meaningful, and its smile, which was mysterious.

It was the first time it was totally exposed, and it was standing under the sun without any fear.
