A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on
Chapter 315 Shadow Leopard
"What? You're so attentive to them." Gu Yan curled her lips.
"You and I are now the suspect's family members. It's good enough that he is polite to us." Gu Can said with a smile.
"Okay, you are right, but there was Xiaohua's hair at the crime scene. Who wanted to frame Xiaohua? Xiaohua, did you steal someone else's dried fish?" Gu Yan looked at Xiaohua and asked.
"······" Xiaohua turned around in Gu Can's arms and faced her butt towards Gu Yan.
What cat would kill someone for dried fish!
"Hey, what's with your attitude?" Gu Yan poked Xiaohua angrily.
"He may not frame Xiaohua, but he may frame you and me." Gu Can said.
"We? Why? What deep hatred? Besides, there are ten lives involved, the entire Li family." Gu Yan didn't understand.
"Then only the real murderer knows. We have to find the real murderer first before we can clear the suspicion."
"How do we find it?" Gu Yan frowned.
"We have a big fat orange." Gu Can smiled mysteriously and pointed to the little flower in his arms.
"Xiaohua? Are you saying that it can help us find the real murderer?" Gu Yan was skeptical.
"Cats' sense of smell is much more sensitive than humans'. Wherever they go, they will leave traces. Whether we go to the crime scene or to examine the corpse, Xiaohua may be able to help us find clues." Gu Can explained.
"Then we have to go to the scene quickly." Gu Yan said, and prepared to carry Xiaohua to the crime scene.
"Wait, we have to be careful. We still have to go to the Monster Hunting Bureau. The crime scene has been destroyed. There may be more clues left on the body." Gu Can reminded.
"Yes, we can't alert the enemy." Gu Yan nodded in agreement.
When the group arrived at the Monster Hunting Division, they found that Xiaohua didn't have any demonic aura. With Guan Yunbai and Xiao Yuanjing as their guarantors, they took Xiaohua with them to examine the body.
"Cancan, what is Xiaohua doing?" As soon as she arrived at the coroner's room, Xiaohua jumped next to the bodies of the Li family members.
"It's smelling the scent left by the murderer." Gu Can lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing Xiaohua.
Xiaohua walked around the corpse, then suddenly raised her head and walked in one direction. Gu Yan and Gu Can looked at each other and immediately followed. Guan Yunbai and Xiao Yuanjing also followed.
"It seems to have really found a clue." Gu Yan said excitedly.
Xiaohua led them through the corridor of the Monster Hunting Division and finally stopped in front of a door. Gu Can walked forward and pushed open the door. Inside was a seemingly ordinary room, but Xiaohua walked in without hesitation.
"Here, what's here?" Gu Yan asked puzzledly.
Gu Can looked around, her eyes finally landing on a small box in a corner. She walked over and carefully opened the box, revealing a string of necklaces, each with a different monster tooth.
"This is..." Gu Yan's voice trembled a little.
"These are the teeth of monsters, and each one represents a different monster." Gu Can explained.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be monsters among these teeth that match the aura left on the corpse." Xiao Yuanjing said.
"We have to take these teeth back and let Xiaohua identify them carefully," said Gu Can.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Lin Chao." Guan Yunbai said
They carefully closed the box, then took Xiaohua and the box and left the Monster Hunting Bureau.
After returning to the inn, the four of them went to Guan Yunbai's room and studied the monster teeth together. Each tooth seemed to be flashing with a strange light, as if telling an unknown secret.
"Each of these teeth corresponds to a monster, and their powers and habits are different." Guan Yunbai looked at the teeth carefully with a frown.
"But trying to find a tooth that matches the scent of the corpse among so many is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"We have Xiaohua." Gu Yan said firmly. She couldn't trust Xiaohua more now.
"Xiaohua has an extraordinary sense of smell. She can distinguish the subtlest differences in smells. We just need to let Xiaohua smell these teeth one by one, and she will naturally tell us the answer. Xiaohua, this concerns your innocence, so work hard." Gu Can poked Xiaohua.
"Meow~~ (Hmph, let me see which bastard dares to frame me!)" Xiaohua was also very angry.
Xiaohua was placed on a clean table. Whenever Gu Can brought a tooth close to it, Xiaohua would close her eyes and sniff gently with her nose. Most of the time, she would just shake her head slightly, but occasionally, when a tooth got close, her eyes would suddenly become sharp and her body would lean forward slightly, as if she had caught some important information.
Time passed, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense. Finally, after an hour of effort, Xiaohua stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary tooth, tapped the table lightly with her paw, and let out a "meow" sound.
"This is it!" Gu Yan shouted excitedly.
"This tooth is the tooth of a monster that matches the aura on the corpse! But what kind of monster is it?" Guan Yunbai also took the tooth to study it.
"Let me see." Xiao Yuanjing said, and Guan Yunbai handed over the tooth.
"It's a shadow leopard. It has the ability to be invisible and move quickly, and it has a ferocious temperament. It likes to feed on human hearts the most." Xiao Yuanjing knew all about these monsters.
"But why did it frame Xiaohua?" Gu Yan didn't understand.
"There must be someone behind this." Gu Can pondered.
"Manipulation?" Gu Yan frowned.
"You're saying that someone deliberately let Shadow Leopard kill someone, and then left Xiaohua's hair at the scene in order to frame it?"
"That's right," Gu Can nodded.
"The real purpose of this murderer must be coming for you and me." Gu Can had some doubts in his heart, but had no evidence.
"Then what should we do next?" Guan Yunbai asked.
"If what you said is true, then the man behind this could be very dangerous."
"We have to be careful and find the trace of the Shadow Leopard first. No matter what, the existence of the Shadow Leopard is a threat to the people of Fencheng." Xiao Yuanjing said calmly.
"I have an idea," Gu Yan said suddenly.
"We can use Xiaohua's sense of smell and have it track Shadow Leopard's scent. If Shadow Leopard is really related to the case, then its scent should remain near the crime scene."
"Then we have to go to the crime scene." Gu Can said.
The four of them brought Xiaohua to the crime scene. Xiaohua sniffed carefully around the house, then slowly walked along the street. It occasionally stopped, then quickened its pace, finally coming to a stop in front of an abandoned warehouse.
Xiao Yuanjing and Guan Yunbai exchanged a glance, then cautiously stepped forward and pushed open the warehouse door. The warehouse was dim and silent, with only a faint light filtering through the windows. In a corner, they found a cage containing a shadow leopard.
"It seems we have found the real murderer." Xiao Yuanjing said coldly.
"But why is it locked up here?" Gu Yan asked puzzledly.
"Come out, we are all here." Gu Can suddenly spoke.
"Who is it?" Gu Yan still didn't understand the situation.
The door of the warehouse was suddenly flung open, and a figure appeared at the door. The man was wearing a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the murderous intent in his eyes made people shudder.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for a long time." The man's voice was low and cold, like a whisper from hell.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Gu Yan asked vigilantly.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have fallen into my trap." The man sneered, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Trap?" Gu Yan was shocked. She realized that they might have fallen into the other party's trap.
"That's right. Do you think that finding Shadow Leopard can solve everything? That's too naive." The man walked forward slowly.
