Not long after Du Qianze left, Zhou Chongwen came out with a frighteningly gloomy face. He threw the tools in front of Fang Yi and said word by word, "The dog's throat was cut, and there were several wounds on its body with glass shards. It was skinned while alive and died of excessive blood loss. How much did you see?"

"I can see it all. This person must be a mentally abnormal person. We can't let him go." Fang Yi gently stroked Naima's fur, but the expression on his face was gloomy.

"It's not easy to catch. This person is too smart. Did you notice that this body was frozen in the refrigerator, and when it was brought here, there must be something fresh around it. The body has no smell at all." Zhou Chongwen continued.

"I didn't see it. I found out the cause of death and didn't look at it again." Fang Yi shook his head. If it wasn't for finding out the cause of death, he wouldn't have looked at the body at all.

"I knew your brain capacity was not enough."

As the two were talking, Red Bean and Mung Bean ran back from outside, followed by a string of cats, attracting many children to follow and see the curiosity.

Zhou Chongwen patiently coaxed the children who followed them away, and then put some snacks in front of several stray cats. After they ate the snacks, he turned around and asked Red Bean what was going on.

Red Bean meowed at the cats a few times, and the cats quickly dispersed and ran towards the bamboo forest. Not long after, a cat ran out of the bamboo forest with a piece of plastic wrap in its claws.

Zhou Chongwen put on gloves and took the plastic wrap. Soon, the other cats also ran out of the bamboo forest, holding a few plastic wraps in their claws, and some of them were stained with blood.

These should be the plastic wraps that wrapped the bodies, but these things are of no help in finding the person who buried the bodies. Red Bean and Mung Bean meowed several times in Zhou Chongwen's arms. Zhou Chongwen shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Red Bean and Mung Bean didn't find any clues. This person was really cunning.

Da Fei flew over from somewhere and stood on the table in front of Fang Yi. He held a worm in his mouth and was about to feed it to Naima, but was pushed away by Naima.

"Oh, gosh, I finally found you." Ting Shan appeared not far away, panting, pointing at Da Fei and shouting.

"Shopkeeper, you see Da Fei has taken the initiative to find you. He must want to go home. You can take it back to the store." Ting Shan saw Fang Yi in front of Da Fei and immediately had an idea.

"Hey, baldy." Da Fei saw Ting Shan, fluttered to his head, and then shouted, "Not back, not back."

"I really can't give it away." Ting Shan muttered softly, and then took Da Fei off his head. He had found some patterns in raising Da Fei during this period of time, and found that Da Fei was not difficult to get along with. Saying that he wanted to return Da Fei to Fang Yi was just talk. If he returned it, he really couldn't bear to let it go.

"Yogurt, yogurt." Da Fei did not dodge, and was held in Ting Shan's hand. It stood in Ting Shan's palm and shouted.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you yogurt." Ting Shan said helplessly. Although he was used to getting along with Da Fei, he still hated Da Fei's bad habits, especially the one that always asked him to buy things. Although it was not a very expensive thing, it was very troublesome to run around. But if he didn't buy it, Da Fei would keep nagging in his ear until he gave up.

Ting Shan greeted Fang Yi and then left with Da Fei.

After the people walked away, Fang Yi discussed the topic with Zhou Chongwen, "You said he wouldn't act recently."

"Yes, he should have discovered the traces we left, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many traces in a hurry." Zhou Chongwen nodded, thinking that there was a saying that was right— a hooligan was not scary; what’s truly frightening was an educated hooligan*.

(*It implies that an uneducated troublemaker is easier to deal with, but when a rogue or corrupt person is intelligent and well-educated, they can be much more dangerous.; Often used humorously or critically to describe cunning or manipulative individuals who use their knowledge for unethical purposes.)

This sentence also applied to people who like animals. The more knowledgeable people were, the more they know how to make animals felt more painful, and they also know how to eliminate traces.

"I... when I came here, I found that the bamboo forest and the open space were not touched by anyone. If Da Fei hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known. I didn't find any traces left by him." Fang Yi said very annoyed. Since Zhou Chongwen said so, the man must have left traces, but he didn't find it.

"We have walked back and forth so many times on this road in the bamboo forest, and we can't see any clues anymore. But in the open space behind, in addition to the traces left by you, we can still see his footprints, but it's a pity that you blurred them all." There was another thing, which was the problem of plastic wrap. Throwing the plastic wrap in the bamboo forest so casually, wasn't he afraid of being discovered? However, Zhou Chongwen didn't answer this question because he wasn't sure.

The only thing he could be sure of was that the animal abuser was very smart and must have known that he was discovered. He would not dare to act rashly for at least a month.

"You stay here and help keep an eye on the movements here. There are many things to do in my pet shop, and it is impossible for me to keep an eye on this place all the time." Fang Yi made up his mind after listening to Zhou Chongwen's analysis and let Zhou Chongwen stay.

First, there were indeed many things to do in his pet shop, and he often couldn't leave. Another reason was that the psychopath this time was too smart and he couldn't handle it.

"Although I can find work anywhere, the rent here is expensive and I can't afford to rent a house." In fact, without Fang Yi saying it, Zhou Chongwen had already decided to stay. This psychopath who liked to abuse animals was so cruel that it was outrageous. It would be a shame if he didn't find him and punish him well, but when it was time to blackmail, he still had to blackmail.

"I'll ask for you. I remember someone told me a few days ago that there is a house in Yangguang Xincheng Community that has not been rented out. If no one has rented it yet, you can live there and you don't have to pay rent."

"Deal, I'll stay here and I'll definitely catch that psychopath. When the time comes..." Zhou Chongwen waved Red Bean's paw in the air.
