Chapter 386
Seeing her cat's overly familiar manner, the girl could only swallow back the shyness that was on the tip of her tongue, and silently kept her distance from him.
But... I still can't help but look at my own cat.
This is absolutely outrageous.
She raised this cat from a kitten to adulthood, but she never saw the cat being particularly affectionate towards her before.
How come a stranger has come to our house and they're calling out in such a cloying, affected voice?
It's so enviable!
When her cat treats her the way it treats her, she will be content for the rest of her life.
Despite her envy, she quietly turned her gaze back to the two people in front of her.
The two people in front of me were dressed casually, and their skin was dark and yellow, clearly tanned from being exposed to the sun.
But... why are the people in the police station exposed to the sun every day?
A moment of confusion flashed through the girl's mind.
But the idea only flashed through my mind and I didn't think about it deeply.
Moreover, she has lived for nearly twenty years and has always been honest and upright, never doing anything dishonest or thieving.
This was the first time the police had come to her door, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
He sat there with his back stiff, his hands clenched tightly, his palms cold and already soaked with sweat.
"What brings you here today?"
"Oh, we're here today to ask you, after working at the company for so many years, haven't you felt there's anything wrong with the company?"
What's wrong?
The girl paused for a moment, instinctively wanting to answer, "No, I don't know why, but the image of the staircase leading to the basement that the golden tabby and the other two kittens found on the first floor suddenly popped into my head."
She instinctively avoided looking at the kitten beside her, but unfortunately, the kitten was focused on talking to Lin Xiao and didn't even glance at her.
She remained silent for a while before finally expressing the confusion in her heart.
"When I first heard that this company was a subsidiary of Rongsheng Group, I was very happy and felt like I was also a member of a big company."
"The company's overall operations are fine, but for some reason, I can always smell an indescribable odor whenever I pass by the first floor."
“I asked many people before, and they all said they didn’t feel anything. Some even said that my nose was sick. In the end, I had no choice but to suppress that thought.”
"I didn't come downstairs until almost midnight one night when I was working overtime."
"I had just walked down to the first floor that day when I heard what sounded like a car stopping, but I looked outside several times and didn't see any vehicles at all."
"So I just pretended I misheard and didn't take it to heart."
She had wondered about these subtle things before, but because she couldn't find the answers, she put them aside or even forgot about them.
But today, these unusual people suddenly came to her door, and the confusion that had been hidden in her heart was suddenly brought to the forefront.
All those strange and abnormal things from before seemed to have been explained.
"What kind of smell might you be experiencing?"
Lin Xiao suddenly interrupted. The girl looked at him with some surprise, seemingly not expecting him to pay attention to these things.
Because Lin Xiao didn't say much from the moment she came in, and even played very seriously with the cat in the house afterwards.
So she always thought this person came just to show people the way or to help them.
They weren't important people, so I didn't pay attention to them.
The girl was startled when the other person suddenly interrupted.
However, she quickly adjusted her emotions and answered the other party's questions very seriously.
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's kind of a mixed smell of blood and stench... and the cleaning ladies in our company use disinfectants with a very strong odor. All these smells combined make it hard not to feel nauseous!"
"Moreover, I am a person who is very sensitive to smells, so when I smelled that scent, I immediately realized that something was wrong."
"However, it seems that no one cares much about this, so I can only wear a mask when I pass by the first floor on my way to work every day to protect myself."
Lin Xiao nodded, then quickly looked down and continued playing with the golden shaded dog in her hand, as if she had really just asked a casual question.
The conversation continued on the other side, and Lin Xiao had already carried the golden tabby dog to the window.
The window seat was some distance from where the people in the living room were talking, so if they lowered their voices, the people inside wouldn't be able to hear them very well.
Furthermore, since they are currently engaged in a serious conversation, they should not be aware of what is happening here.
The golden shaggy dog was being gently shaken by someone holding its paws, but it just sat obediently in Lin Xiao's lap, looking up with bright, piercing eyes, staring intently at her.
"So you're that little one's owner? Were you the one who sent her to investigate the truth for you?"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"She even told you this?"
The golden shaggy dog raised its head arrogantly, its voice carrying a hint of haughtiness.
"Of course, we are very, very good friends. I even helped her with something before."
Lin Xiao smiled and ruffled his hair. "Great job! After this case is over, I'll definitely give you a public commendation, okay?"
The little golden shaded dog, who had never seen much of the world, stared wide-eyed, its eyes filled with the delight of a little illiterate.
"Really? Then it's a deal! No matter what reward that little guy gets in the future, you have to give me a share!"
"Okay!" Lin Xiao readily agreed. "But you have to share with me what you found down there."
The golden chin frowned and thought for a moment, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"There's only one door down there, and nothing else, but the inside of that door is incredibly smelly and pungent, it's unbearable."
"There should be a lot of animals inside; I can smell all sorts of different kinds of creatures."
Biological taste?
In addition to what the girl mentioned earlier, she heard car noises while working late at night...
Does the basement have other exits besides the company entrance?
But if there are other exits... then why open the entrance on the company side?
Wouldn't it be more convenient and safer to enter and exit directly from the other side?
or……
Why is the other entrance unusable?
Lin Xiao frowned, his face full of thought.
