Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 114 Civet Cat
"So... why did you follow me anyway? Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?"

In the sports equipment storage room on the playground, Yang Liu looked at Koizumi Ling and Nagai Yako in front of him with helplessness on his face.

Koizumi Ling gave a thumbs up with a proud look on her face: "This class is physical education. We were supposed to learn swimming, but because the swimming pool was blocked, Vice Principal Takeshita allowed us to move freely. Just now I saw you sneaking over here, so I followed you."

"Ling, this behavior is generally called skipping class." Nagai Miko at the side tugged at her friend's clothes and reminded her.

"What do you mean by sneaky? Your wording should be more accurate!" Yang Liu complained, but did not chase them away.

Anyway, what I am going to do is not something shameful, and these two girls can be my assistants.

Yang Liu coughed awkwardly, crossed out the word "coolie" in her mind, and then nodded at them: "Okay, but remember not to alert the criminals after you find them, let the teacher handle it."

"Don't worry!" Koizumi Ling replied with full energy.

Yang Liu didn't say much about this. After all, he had seen what Koizumi Ling had done before, and she was the type who could be trusted.

Nagai Yako asked quietly, "But... Teacher, aren't you here to catch a shoe thief? Why did you come here?"

"Come with me."

Yang Liu nodded and led the two to the depths of the equipment room, where they found a small window on a wall.

"If you look out from this window, you can see the entrance to the elementary and middle school building and the shoe cabinet. If the criminal dares to show up, we will definitely find him... But this place is a little far from where we need to observe. Can you see clearly?"

Yang Liu explained and gestured the height of the window and the height of the two people.

He looked around and dragged over a few boxes used for vaulting horses and stacked them up so that the two of them could stand on them and look out the window directly: "Come on, let's try and see if we can see clearly. After all, this side is still a bit far from the door."

Koizumi Ling and Nagai Miko went up one by one and opened the window to look outside. Nagai Miko shook her head regretfully: "Not very good, too far away, can't see clearly."

"I'm fine!" Koizumi Ling looked proud.

Yang Liu smiled and gave Koizumi Ling a thumbs up: "Then this difficult task is handed over to you, Koizumi-san! You must observe carefully and resolutely not let go of any suspicious people!"

"No problem, leave it to me!" Koizumi Ling clenched her fist to encourage herself, then stood on the box and observed through the window with great interest.

Nagai Miko finally reacted at this moment. She glanced at the excited Koizumi Ling, quietly moved to the side of Yang Liu who was sitting on the cushion nearby playing with his mobile phone, and looked at him with an expression as if he was a scumbag.

"Teacher, don't you feel heartbroken to bully such an innocent child?" Nagai Miko whispered.

"You can definitely remind her." Yang Liu also responded in a low voice.

“No, I think it’s fun too.”

"Hey Hey……"

"Hey hey hey..."

The two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding without saying anything more.

But it seems that Koizumi Ling is really lucky. After observing for less than 5 minutes, she made a discovery:

"Teacher, there seems to be some movement..."

"Oh? Let me see." Yang Liu put away his phone and walked to the window. Nagai Yako next to him also climbed onto the box and looked out.

I saw that a cabinet on the bottom layer of the shoe cabinet had been opened at some point, and a pair of shoes was coming out of the cabinet little by little.

"I don't see any human figures around. Could it be a ghost?!" Nagai Miko, who had just claimed that she couldn't see, widened her eyes.

Yang Liu took a look and shook her head: "Calm down, it's not a ghost, there must be something inside that is pushing the shoes out."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of colorful shoes were pushed out, and then the creature in the cupboard appeared.

"Is this... uh... a raccoon?"

Yang Liu blinked in confusion as he looked at the creature in the distance that had picked up the shoe. The creature looked very much like the one he saw on instant noodles when he was a child.

"It's a raccoon, teacher. A raccoon!" Koizumi Ling corrected her. "Although they look alike, the raccoon has a black ring-shaped pattern on its tail, while the raccoon doesn't."

Upon hearing this, Yang Liu observed the creature's tail and found that it really had no patterns just as Koizumi Ling said.

"Okay, it seems to be a civet cat, but why would the civet cat appear here? Could it be the shoe thief...Do civet cats also need to wear shoes?" Yang Liu was confused.

"I don't think so. Look, this raccoon cat has no shoes on its feet, and the size of the shoes is not suitable..." Koizumi Ling at the side also said blankly.

Nagai Miko looked at the two people whose conversation channels were inexplicably in sync with each other and looked mad: "Now is not the time to talk about this, right? Now that the criminal has appeared, what should we do next?"

"Then the criminal must have been arrested. That's great. Now Vice Principal Takeshita doesn't have to feel any psychological pressure..."

Before Yang Liu could say a few words, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared and she immediately became serious.

Just now, as if it had heard the conversation between the three people, the raccoon cat that was stealing shoes suddenly raised its head and looked in the direction of the three people.

The problem was that the storage room where Yang Liu and the other two were was more than a hundred meters away from the main entrance to the primary and secondary school building. Moreover, the three were not making loud noises, they were just talking and laughing in low voices. Plus, with the walls blocking the way, even wild animals with keen hearing should not be able to hear them.

But when the raccoon cat raised its head and looked straight at him, Yang Liu immediately confirmed that the little guy had indeed heard their conversation and should have discovered their presence.

"squeak!!!"

The moment it saw Yang Liu, out of biological instinct, all the hair on its body stood up.

Without caring about the shoes he had just stolen with great effort, the raccoon cat flashed and turned into a gray afterimage and disappeared on the spot.

"Huh?! Ran away? So fast, where did he run to?"

Nagai Miko blinked her eyes. The raccoon cat disappeared so quickly that she almost suspected she was hallucinating.

"teacher?"

Koizumi Ling's cry brought Nagai Miko back to her senses. She turned around and found that Yang Liu had run to the door of the storage room at some point.

"I'll go catch up and take a look. You guys go back to the classroom first."

Yang Liu gave the two of them some instructions, then opened the door and ran out without looking back.
