Mysteries of the Ninth Grade Weapon Chapter 6

"Let alone just one case, even if it's ten or a hundred, as long as it's related to the cat demon case, Wang will know but not tell, and will tell everything, and will never hide anything." Wang Zhiquan was straightforward and seemed very cooperative.

Adrian Chu nodded, stared into Wang Zhiquan's eyes, observed his expression, and slowly said: "Your mansion has been troubled by the cat demon for a few days. Has anyone in the mansion been injured or killed?"

"No!" Wang Zhiquan shook his head decisively, "The servant was frightened and fainted, the guard was beaten, and my wife and dog were injured. Apart from that, there were no other casualties."

"So this cat demon is very sensible and doesn't dare to cause any death?" Adrian Chu laughed.

Wang Zhiquan was very unhappy when he heard this, and said angrily: "Does Chu Bantou want someone in Wang's family to die?"

"Mr. Wang, don't be angry. I just find it strange. There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary!"

"There really is a monster. I saw it with my own eyes!" Wang Zhiquan said with certainty, with a hint of fear on his face.

"Have you seen it, sir?" Adrian Chu was quite surprised.

"Last night, the cat demon turned Wang's house upside down and ran around everywhere. Wang was awakened long ago and saw with his own eyes that it hurt my wife and dog! Wang only regrets that he doesn't know martial arts and couldn't protect them!" Wang Zhiquan became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he looked like he was going to fight to the death.

Adrian Chu praised: "Mr. Wang is a real man! He is so brave!"

Wang Zhiquan just sighed when he heard this: "It's a pity that I'm powerless. How hateful!"

"Are you sure it is a cat?" Adrian Chu asked again.

Wang Zhiquan was middle-aged after all, mature in mind and calm in character. He realized the meaning of Adrian Chu's question and said hesitantly: "That thing has a cat face, green eyes that flash a terrifying light at night, white fur, a long tail, jumps on four legs, and has sharp claws. In addition to its huge size, no matter its posture or cat's cry, anyone who sees or hears it will think it is a cat!"

Adrian Chu listened carefully and suddenly asked, "Mr. Wang, you just said it was running around everywhere in your house. What did you mean?"

"It was just hurting people everywhere in the backyard. When it finally hurt my wife and my dog, the guards came to surround and chase it away. Unexpectedly, it jumped 10 to 20 feet high, jumped onto the roof and escaped."

"That is to say, Mr. Wang has only seen it from a distance and has never come into contact with it, right?"

"Didn't Wang say that he was too weak to even fight with him?"

Adrian Chu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Wang, this matter is quite strange and confusing, and there are no clues. Chu needs to meet someone who has had close contact with the cat demon."

Wang Zhiquan agreed immediately: "This is easy to handle. The servants are very scared and probably can't explain it. But Wang's family has more than ten guards who have fought with him before. They will definitely be able to answer Captain Chu's questions."

Adrian Chu said: "Of course, we need to meet and question the servants and guards. But it is said that the guards were knocked down by the cat demon's tail after a single encounter, so it can't be considered a close contact."

"Captain Chu means..."

Adrian Chu said calmly: "According to the description, the lady and the young master were injured by the cat demon's front claws. They were the ones who had direct contact with the cat demon. I heard that they are fine now. Can you arrange for us to meet with them?"

Wang Zhiyou's face changed: "My wife was so scared that she couldn't even speak clearly."

"What about the noble son?"

"This..." Wang Zhiquan was still extremely embarrassed.

Adrian Chu understood and said quickly: "Chu will only take one person with him, and the other detectives can go back to the front yard and wait."

Wang Zhiquan sighed and said, "The dog was injured last night. After a day of treatment, although his life is not in danger, he is in low spirits. Besides, his family members are all around him to serve him. Wang needs to make some arrangements before Chu Bantou can communicate with him."

"It's my duty. Thank you for your help, Mr. Wang." Adrian Chu bowed.

"You're welcome. You're welcome." Wang Zhiquan returned the greeting and went to make his own arrangements.

"Old Chu, what do you want us to do next?" Seeing Wang Yuanwai walking away, Xu Jin couldn't wait to ask, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why do I feel that this is quite strange, do you have any clues?"

Adrian Chu was annoyed when he heard this: "Do you think I'm a detective? I was just wondering what you think!"

Xu Jin has a big black question mark face.

"We need more clues to find out what's going on." Adrian Chu continued to instruct, "Come with me to meet Mr. Wang's eldest son in a while. Also, let's go back to the county government office first and get everything we prepared ready. I think we'll really have to help Mr. Wang look after his house tonight."

Xu Jin nodded. He would never delay important matters, so he sent the other detectives back according to Adrian Chu's instructions.

Just after finishing these things, Wang Zhiquan came back and said that the inner courtyard was ready and they could go to meet the person.

The Wang family courtyard is very large, with three entrances and three exits. The innermost courtyard covers an area of   several acres and is surrounded by corridors and pavilions. There is a pond in the middle, with a stone bridge above and small boats moored below.

The courtyard is planted with flowers and plants everywhere. Although it is late autumn, the chrysanthemums are blooming brilliantly like golden umbrellas. The branches of the tall osmanthus trees growing by the road are covered with golden flowers, emitting bursts of faint fragrance that are refreshing.

In the distance, among the flowers, plants and trees, a few small buildings can be vaguely seen. They should be the residences of the Wang family’s family members.

Sure enough, Wang Zhiquan took Adrian Chu and Xu Jin to the small wooden building in the east.

When you go into the first floor, you will see a combination of a living room and a study, with mahogany tables and chairs and bookshelves, antique books, and purple clay tea sets. It is so luxurious that it is just short of having the word "tycoon" written on it.

Wang Zhiquan led them up the wooden stairs and came to the second floor.

Before he had time to take a look at the situation on the second floor, Adrian Chu, who had a sensitive nose, smelled a strong smell of medicine in the air from afar.

This is a bedroom. There is a person lying on the wide bed. I think it is Wang Zhiquan’s eldest son, Wang Juncheng.

In addition to the injured patient, there was a maid in the room wearing green maid's clothes. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, in her prime, with a pretty face and a petite figure, but she was extremely agile, serving the eldest son of their family.

Seeing someone coming in, the maid quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Bizhu, is the young master still awake?" Wang Zhiquan asked softly.

The maid Bizhu replied, "Since the master came to give the order just now, the eldest master has not dared to sleep, waiting for the master and the distinguished guests."

Wang Zhiquan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go downstairs and wait. The master will call you if there is anything."

"Yes!" Bizhu bowed, twisted her graceful body, and went downstairs.

During this time, Xu Jin, this big pig's hoof, stared at her intently when people passed by, and was completely captivated by her lust.

Adrian Chu felt so embarrassed when he saw his miserable look. When Wang Zhiquan wasn't paying attention, he kicked Xu Jin hard on the calf, which brought the latter's soul back.

"It's an occupational disease, an occupational disease. As a detective, I think everyone is a suspect and I always want to see the person clearly." Xu Jin smiled awkwardly and explained in a low voice.

I don't trust you, you pervert!

Adrian Chu ignored him and walked forward, leaned against the bed, and approached Wang Juncheng.

Young Master Wang lay flat on the bed, his face pale, his lips bloodless, and he looked extremely weak, which made him look much more haggard and several years older than a handsome man in his twenties.

He was covered with a quilt and unable to move. When he noticed someone coming, he could only move his lips softly and call out "Dad".

Adrian Chu walked past Wang Zhiquan and stated his identity and purpose.

Wang Juncheng said weakly: "If you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know. As long as you can solve the case and catch the evildoer, you can help me get revenge!"

After saying this, he began to pant again, looking very exhausted.

Adrian Chu waited for him to regain some composure and immediately asked, "Master Wang, when the cat demon poked you with its claws last night, did you smell anything?"

"odor?"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
