Chapter 1553: Watson and Sherlock Holmes

The encounter with the dead cat and the dead deer was just the beginning. It wasn’t even noon when famous, who was walking in front, smelled a third strange smell.

Although Zhang Zian couldn’t smell it, from the Elfins ‘reaction, he could guess that the owner of the third animal body, Yingying, was still a cat.

Sure enough, he and the elves followed the scent and found the source of the scent in a tree hole. It was an American Shorthair.

Similar to the previous Maine hybrid, this American Shorthair had also been bitten by sharp teeth. It ran to the tree hole to hide and died from excessive blood loss.

Zhang Zian poked the American Shorthair’s body with a branch. It hadn’t completely stiffened yet, which proved that it hadn’t been dead for too long.

He and the elves stood on the side, and no one spoke for a long time.

If there was only one cat, it could be considered a coincidence. However, in such a short period of time, he had already met two cats that had the same cause of death. Could this be explained by coincidence? No one would believe anyone who came out.

Not only were the causes of death the same, but even the time of death was similar. The strangest thing was that the corpses were still intact, which meant that the beast that bit them to death did not intend to eat them, but only bit them to death.

It wasn’t to hunt, but to kill.

There was a saying that people often said that only humans would kill meaninglessly, while animals only killed when they needed to eat. This saying was applicable to most ferocious beasts, such as the great white shark. When it was full, divers could even swim beside it.

However, there were always exceptions in the world. Many canines, such as wolves, foxes, and jackals, would occasionally carry out meaningless killing. In the past, there was often a situation where a Fox would enter a henhouse and bite all the chickens to death in the countryside.

Logically speaking, a Fox could not eat so many chickens no matter what. If it ate one, took one away, and let go of the others, it could come back to eat again in the future. Why did it bite all of them to death?

Wolves and jackals were in similar situations. For example, the jackals would enter the sheepfold and bite all the sheep to death.

Regardless of whether it was in China or other countries, such incidents were common.

In a forest in Northwest Canada, scientists had once witnessed a pack of wolves killing more than 30 reindeers in a short time. The bodies were scattered in an area of a few square kilometers, but they only ate a few. Most of them were abandoned after biting them to death.

The success rate of a Wolf’s hunting was not as high as people usually thought, only about one-tenth, so wolves often could only eat their fill once a week. It was very puzzling that they would kill but not eat precious food.

In the past, people hated animals like foxes, wolves, and jackals to the bone. They would kill every animal they saw, which led to the current situation where these animals were almost exterminated.

Felines were sometimes the same.

Why would these animals do such meaningless killing? Were they like the criminals in human society who killed for fun?

No one knew.

Perhaps their actions were not meaningless, but humans could not understand the hidden meaning behind it.

The current situation was as if one or a group of scavengers had appeared in the forest and were carrying out a meaningless slaughter like the one above.

The other thing that he could not understand was why there were house cats appearing one after another in the depths of the forest.

Without waiting for old time tea to say anything, Zhang Zian took the initiative to take out the folding shovel and buried the dead American Shorthair. Before he buried it, he took a few photos of the American Shorthair.

Everyone continued on their way in silence. Other than Richard who was still talking, no one else said anything. They were all thinking about the inner cause of these strange things.

In the end, before they set up camp in the evening, they encountered a total of four dead cats and two dead deers in the same way.

The deer’s body attracted scavengers. The body was incomplete, and the cause of death could not be seen. The cats were all bitten to death.

In the end, old time tea was too embarrassed to ask Zhang Zian to bury the body.

After dinner, everyone sat around the bonfire, staring at the burning flames in a daze. No one went to bed early.

“Meow my ass!” “F * ck!” Vladimir cursed, Breaking the Silence, but it did not continue.

Zhang Zian stole a glance at fina. He thought that fina would fly into a rage because of this, but he didn’t expect it to be quite restrained from the beginning to the end. But in a sense, this made him even more worried that this guy, Yingying, was secretly planning something to die in silence?

Fina’s expression was very calm, and it maintained the thoughtful look it had for the whole day.

“Kaka! It’s time for me to make my appearance!” Although Richard could not see anything, it did not stop him from talking big.”Let me show you the way!”

No one paid any attention to it. No one was in the mood to joke.

Richard was thick-skinned enough to not feel embarrassed at being ignored. He continued,””Kaka! In my opinion, the first thing we need to do is to find out the cause of death! Watson, what do you think?”

It patted Zhang Zian’s head, indicating for him to speak.

“Cause of death? You’re not only blind at night now, but you’re also blind during the day?” He unhappily spread its wings.”Didn’t you see that they were all bitten to death?”

“Kaka! I said you’re an idiot, but you still don’t admit it! Of course I know the cats were bitten to death, but why were they bitten to death?” It asked a strange question.

“Why? How would I know why? “I didn’t bite them to death ...” He replied without thinking.

“Kaka! “So, Watson, you can only be a supporting character. As the main character, I, Richard Holmes, will not be as stupid as you! To deal with such a cruel serial killer, the first thing you have to do is to find the common point of the victims!” Richard pretended to jump around, only hating that he did not have a pair of glasses that could be worn on the beak of a bird.

“Common traits of the victims? Aren’t they all cats?” Zhang Zian asked.

“Look, look, tsk tsk! Rotten wood can’t be carved!” Richard shook his head and sighed in disappointment.”If four humans were killed and I asked you what the victims had in common, would you answer, would you dare to answer that all the victims were humans?”

Zhang Zian was speechless. If he really dared to answer like that, he would probably be torn apart by the family of the deceased.

No matter how much Richard usually spoke without thinking, at least it was right this time.

He and the other Elfins were wondering what animal had bitten the cats to death.

On the other hand, Richard cut into the problem from a unique detective perspective, thinking about what the victims had in common.

What were the common points?

In addition to the first Maine Coon hybrid, Zhang Zian had taken photos of the other three bodies before burying them. He took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album, browsing through the photos one by one.
