Chapter 97: Stealing Someone Else's Cat

But Zhou Zhinan's answer didn't come for a long time. Xiaohua suddenly remembered that she didn't type it out on the tablet, so Zhou Zhinan didn't understand what she was saying.

So Xiaohua lowered her head again, typed a few words carefully on the tablet, and then looked up at Zhou Zhinan.

Although Zhou Zhinan was in disbelief, he came to his senses immediately when Zhou Xiaohua made a move and looked in the direction of Zhou Xiaohua's movement.

Seeing Zhou Xiaohua's question, Zhou Zhinan said, "It's not clear yet."

Xiaohua tilted her head slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

Zhou Zhinan continued to look at Zhou Xiaohua, and the man and the cat just stared at each other.

After a long while, Zhou Zhinan finally picked up Zhou Xiaohua. With some unknown intention, he said in a hoarse voice, "I won't let you be bullied in the future."

What happened in the past is over and he is powerless to change anything, but he will not let anyone bully Zhou Xiaohua in the future.

"Meow~"

Xiaohua cried out and rubbed against Zhou Zhinan affectionately.

It was almost noon when Duan Linbo's family members rushed over. The moment they saw their son's body, Duan Linbo's mother, Ms. Xiao Ling, fainted in her husband's arms.

Duan Lihua himself was also powerless, but his wife had already fallen down, and he could not fall down again.

With the help of the criminal police, several people went to the conference room and sat down together.

Xiao Ling gradually recovered and began to cry in her husband's arms, crying, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Duan Lihua naturally didn't know why, so he could only hug his wife, his expression also very painful.

"My condolences to you two." Xiao Tao said seriously.

But they were immersed in their own painful emotions and seemed not to hear what Xiao Tao said.

Xiao Tao continued, "We have some information we'd like to discuss with you two so we can find the murderer as quickly as possible."

When they heard the word "murderer", the two family members who had been immersed in their own emotions looked towards Xiao Tao and the others.

Their son died, and this was a fact that could not be changed, but who killed their son?
They will never let the murderer go unpunished!
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Xiao Tao quickly asked, "When was the last time you saw Duan Linbo?"

Xiao Ling sniffed hard, not caring about anything else, and said weakly: "It was a week ago, when I was on a business trip, I saw it at home."

"Me too," Duan Lihua added.

Xiao Tao nodded, then continued with the next question, "Did you know that Duan Linbo abuses cats?"

When they heard the words "cat abuse", Xiao Ling and Duan Lihua's expressions were obviously not very natural. It was obvious that they knew about Duan Linbo's cat abuse.

Xiao Tao felt a little uncomfortable, after all, she also had a cat.

Seeing those cats being abused to death, Xiao Tao felt sad no matter how he thought about it.

She suppressed her emotions and continued to ask the couple, "When did you find out that Duan Linbo likes to torture cats?"

The couple looked at each other, and finally Xiao Ling spoke up. She said, "It's been several years."

"Several years?" Xiao Tao frowned even more.

Xiao Ling nodded. "Yes, he was just in high school at that time. It has been several years since then."

"Didn't you take care of it during this period?" Xiao Tao asked.

Xiao Ling was stunned, unable to answer for a moment. It wasn't that they hadn't tried to stop him, it was just that Duan Linbo didn't listen. Of course, the most important point was that they didn't think cat abuse was a serious matter, so when their son refused to listen, they just stopped caring.

Duan Lihua quickly responded, "Does this have anything to do with his murder?"

Zhou Zhinan glanced towards Duan Lihua and heard the man continue, "Could it be that my son's death has something to do with those cats?"

Xiao Tao also looked at her boss, and seeing Zhou Zhinan looking at Duan Lihua, she also looked at Duan Lihua.

According to their guess, this case is most likely related to cats.

"According to current speculation, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhou Zhinan said half seriously and half casually.

Duan Lihua's eyes widened instantly, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Xiao Tao continued, "Are the cats that Duan Linbo kills all stray cats?"

"Most of them are stray cats." Xiao Ling said with some stammering.

"What about the other small group?" Xiao Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Where did the other cats come from?"

Xiao Ling pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Some of the cats in the past two years are stray cats, and some are cats found through adoption at the pet hospital."

"Are there only these two sources? There are no others?" Xiao Tao looked at the two people opposite him, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

Xiao Ling frowned, "When he was in junior high school, he stole someone else's cat."

"But that was a long time ago, and we have already made compensation."

The implication is that that happened a long time ago and should have nothing to do with the case.

"Haven't you stolen other people's cats recently?" Xiao Tao pressed the issue, not letting the other party get away with it.

They have analyzed that if it was really a revenge for cat abuse, then there is a high possibility that Duan Linbo killed the cat with an owner.

Because Duan Linbo is a cat with an owner, someone would treat him so cruelly.

You should know that Duan Linbo's cause of death was due to shattered internal organs.

The reason why his internal organs were shattered was that he was hit by external force, and all the bones in Duan Linbo's body were broken.

Xiao Ling couldn't help but frown, "We are usually busy with work, and he is often at school, so there are many things we don't know."

Xiao Tao nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

There was nothing much for Zhou Zhinan to ask. His intuition told him that this couple might really know nothing.

Zhou Zhinan left first, leaving Xiao Tao and another intern to take detailed statements from the two of them.

When he returned to the office, Zhou Zhinan saw Zhou Xiaohua sleeping on his chair.

He stared at her for a while, wondering whether he should wake Zhou Xiaohua up.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhinan still couldn't bear to wake Zhou Xiaohua up, so he dragged an empty chair over to the side.

Zhou Zhinan continued to look through the information provided by the trace examination department, trying to see if there was any key evidence.
