Chapter 46: Comrade Xiao Lu, Come Here For A Sec
Lu Qiaoge turned her head, and sure enough, on a dense big elm tree opposite was her family’s calico cat, anxiously waving its paws at her.
【Meow meow meow, we’re going to the lakeside, the swallow said a lot of fish and shrimp washed up in the reed marsh, if we go late they’ll all be picked up by others.】
How is it just like a clingy brat, really following everywhere.
Lu Qiaoge said to it in her heart: “Can’t you see I’m working? Wait until noon, hurry home, Qin Hengzhi is arriving soon, that man is too sharp, he might suspect you can talk and capture you.”
The calico cat actually meowed loudly, meow meow meow, seeming to mix in some laughter.
【Little master you’re silly, it’s not that I can talk, it’s that you can understand me talking, Qin Hengzhi can’t understand, what are you afraid of?】
The calico cat meowed meow meow several times at the pigeons in the sky, very dominantly asking: 【Do you know whose house the lost chickens and ducks are in?】
Lu Qiaoge looked up, her calico cat was so smart.
It directly asked for the answer, instead of asking who it saw stealing them.
The pigeon flock was suddenly stunned.
It was as if their wings froze in the air for a moment.
Then they scattered in all directions with a whoosh.
In their shock, naturally there were no inner voices anymore, and they were a bit panicked; one grey pigeon actually flew straight toward the big elm tree where the calico cat was.
If the calico cat couldn’t leap that would be fine, but the calico cat had somehow learned this move.
No wonder folk legends say cats are the tiger’s master, it really wasn’t wrong.
The calico cat leaped to the treetop, and with one paw swatted down the grey pigeon that flew to the treetop.
Qin Hengzhi wasn’t there to handle the chicken theft case; such a case didn’t need him to step in.
He was going to the north of the city residential area to help with disaster relief.
Military and civilians are one family.
The north of the city residential area doesn’t belong to the military factory; they’re basically local ordinary people.
Several hundred households’ houses there were flooded and needed to transfer personnel to a safe place.
He really was just passing by.
But Qin Hengzhi, passing by, saw this scene.
A grey pigeon was knocked down from midair by a familiar calico cat.
The pigeon was injured and stumbled forward running.
That familiar calico cat was chasing behind.
A white-haired old man holding a bamboo pole was hitting the cat, cursing while hitting: “You wild cat you dead cat, get lost, dare to eat my pigeon, I’ll skin you.”
Lu Qiaoge, who had been chatting animatedly with bright eyes yesterday, was chasing behind at this time.
“Old man, don’t run, the road is so muddy, what if you fall?”
Lu Qiaoge shouted to the calico cat in her heart: “Hurry and run, don’t chase the pigeon anymore.”
【Little master, it knows where the stolen chickens and ducks are, I have to capture it.】
In order for the little master to get off work early and take it to catch fish to eat, the calico cat was going all out.
Lu Qiaoge sped past the old man holding the bamboo pole, looked back, wasn’t this the traditional Chinese medicine doctor who treated Xiao Si?
The calico cat leaped and charged toward Qin Hengzhi who was running forward.
In the flash of lightning, Qin Hengzhi was even faster; without anyone seeing him move, he had grabbed the calico cat by the scruff of the neck.
The calico cat meowed meow meow.
Lu Qiaoge ignored it; this was originally a crime scene, and with this commotion, it was a bit awkward to explain.
But the pigeon was injured.
It was cooing in terror.
Lu Qiaoge dashed forward in one arrow step, hurriedly grabbed the grey pigeon, and said to it in her heart: “Don’t be afraid, let me see where you’re injured?”
These little creatures all said her hands were special; Lu Qiaoge placed the grey pigeon in her left palm, and pressed its wings with her right hand.
Qin Hengzhi’s gaze darkened slightly, and he said to Captain Xiao Duan beside him: “You lead the team to continue forward.”
Captain Duan responded loudly: “Yes!”
This team continued running forward.
They soon disappeared from people’s gaze.
Qin Hengzhi stood roadside holding the cat, without stepping forward.
But Cadre Liu and Officer Li saw that it was Representative Qin, so they both walked up to him and spoke.
Qin Hengzhi didn’t put down the cat, still holding it by the scruff, and the calico cat didn’t meow either, looking quite well-behaved.
At this time, the grey pigeon was gradually returning to normal under Lu Qiaoge’s soothing.
It even rubbed its head against Lu Qiaoge’s palm.
The old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner also came running over, panting.
Lu Qiaoge said softly to the grey pigeon without changing her expression: “There’s a wound on your wing, but it’s not bleeding now. Does it still hurt? Sorry, I’m apologizing to you on behalf of my family’s cat.”
They can understand each other’s language, so they shouldn’t hurt each other.
Grey Pigeon: 【Feeling… much better, doesn’t hurt anymore. Who are you? How can you talk to me?】
Lu Qiaoge: “This matter is a long story; I’ll tell you later.”
【Do you want to know whose house those stolen chickens and ducks are in?】
This time, Lu Qiaoge spoke to it in her mind: “Do you know?”
The grey pigeon cooed several times.
【I know, it’s in East Forty-One District. There’s a human there named Chen Xiangqian who has hidden a lot of chickens and ducks in his cellar, but he’s very fierce and often beats people…】
“Good, I got it, thank you.” Lu Qiaoge thanked the grey pigeon in her mind.
Truly, after a long search, it was found effortlessly.
Lu Qiaoge handed the grey pigeon to the old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, offered a bunch of apologies, but didn’t mention the little brother matter—after all, in her memory, she’d only seen him once in the Lu Family courtyard.
At this time, there were quite a few people here, and more had gathered to watch the excitement.
Lu Qiaoge originally wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen Qin Hengzhi, but Qin Hengzhi said softly: “Comrade Lu, come over here.”
This area was actually very lively and bustling; Lu Qiaoge had gone to catch the cat halfway through registering, but the others weren’t in a hurry and were all watching the excitement.
But at this moment, as soon as Qin Hengzhi said this, for some reason, the surrounding air seemed to quiet for an instant.
Before people could look at her with strange glances, Lu Qiaoge immediately walked over, took the cat casually, then patted the calico cat’s head and said very generously in front of Qin Hengzhi: “Hua Hua, hurry home, no running off.”
Qin Hengzhi asked casually: “Can Hua Hua understand you?”
Before Lu Qiaoge could answer, the calico cat meowed several times, then ran off.
Lu Qiaoge gave Qin Hengzhi a sideways glance.
This man seemed increasingly different toward her.
Those eyes were not only sharp but also carried probing.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t care if he saw through something, but she didn’t want to be stared at.
Even if he was a good person.
She looked at Qin Hengzhi with a half-smile: “Humans’ simple language and actions—little cats and little dogs can actually understand and see them. This is basic common knowledge; doesn’t Representative Qin know?”
Qin Hengzhi curved the corner of his mouth, pretending not to hear the implication in Lu Qiaoge’s words.
Cadre Liu beside them didn’t notice the atmosphere at all; he scratched his head embarrassedly and said: “Representative Qin, could you help analyze last night’s chicken thief incident? The heavy rain was so big it almost washed away all the traces and clues…”
