Strange Life of a Cat

The two policemen still couldn't hide because a conflict started over there and they had to go over to mediate.

The cause was that a passer-by said, "It's just a cat. If you kill it, you'll kill it." This directly triggered a quarrel. If the two policemen didn't pass by, the man would probably be beaten by a group of people.

As for the reporters mixed in, they were busy taking pictures. Even if they couldn't stop the man in the room today, they still had something to do.

An old man who lived nearby walked out of the alley with his hands behind his back, shook his head repeatedly, and whispered: "Should I say that person has no brains, or should I say that he doesn't understand current affairs and doesn't understand the situation? I can only say it with confidence. Ah, I didn't even look at the people around me." After seeing Er Mao standing not far away, the old man shut up and left.

It was almost noon and Zheng Tan stopped staring there. He went back to eat and came out to take a look in the afternoon.

After going back, Zheng Tan analyzed it. He guessed that Er Mao knew the password of the computer through the monitor. After copying the cat abuse video file, he went back and dismantled the monitor in the house. Therefore, Er Mao This guy looked so confident that he was not afraid of reporters and other related personnel going in for inspection. At the same time, they also used some means to use the media, the Internet, and induce public opinion to make things develop like this in a short period of time.

The screenshot on the post comes from the video on that person's computer. In the past two days, the person probably hasn't preyed on cats again. He catches one every once in a while to vent his anger. As for this time interval, it may be a few days, maybe two or three weeks. , maybe a few months, depending on how long it takes for the resentment and anger in his heart to accumulate to the point of explosion.

That person didn't come back all day long. However, there is already more detailed information about that person on the Internet, as well as several clear photos from multiple angles. Every day, people go to that house to smash eggs, throw paint and put up slogans, but they don't know What was the purpose of those people doing these things? Maybe they were really angry about the matter, or maybe someone wanted to take the opportunity to make a fuss.

Soon, the news about the man's cat abuse was reported by Chucheng Evening News, Chucheng Metropolis Daily, Provincial News and other major newspapers, and there were even analysis comments by some authoritative psychologists.

At the same time, there are many people who use this incident to show their sense of existence, or to gain fame and wealth, and to increase their reputation. Regardless of whether those people are acting, whether they really love cats and criticize cat abuse incidents, what they do makes Zheng Tan As long as you and Ermao are satisfied. No matter what industry or profession, whether men, women, old or young, there are always people who love cats. As long as this matter is known to the public, that person will not be able to stay safely in Chuhua City, at least in the short term. I heard that the man had been beaten by an unknown cat.

On the other hand, the heated discussion in society caused by this incident has not cooled down, but has become more and more intense. Many people think it's too sudden and unbelievable. There must be a gradual process for everything, right? Why is this suddenly the center of attention? In their opinion, this matter is quite a fuss, isn't it just abusing a cat? What's there to hype about? Cat abuse has happened before, so why isn't it as big of a sensation as this time?

what is the reason? In addition to the promoter Ermao, of course there are other factors involved.

If this was just a single incident, this topic would not have suddenly heated up so quickly. However, not long ago, a top student who abused a cat came out. At that time, an expert said that this was just a very rare phenomenon in society. Everyone There was no need to hold on tightly, but as it turned out, a few days after that incident, another white-collar cat abuser was revealed, and the expert's face was suddenly slapped.

Moreover, these two cases of cat abuse are so close together, and the so-called waves have come up again and again, and the condemnation has become more intense. The anger of cat friends has been underestimated by many people, just like when some people violently protected cats . Many people have proposed that relevant animal protection laws should be enacted as soon as possible, so that these people can no longer be allowed to be so rampant.

The second factor is what Er Mao said, killing cats is different from abusing cats. What he means is that the reaction of society is different.

Killing cats and dogs is nothing to many people, just like killing chickens and sheep, there is nothing to argue about. Even if you kill wild animals or even protected wild animals, the punishment is the same. Except for some people, The reaction of social subjects will not be very big, especially for ordinary people who have to run around for life all the time. At most, it is just watching the news on a topic that can be discussed after dinner, even if it is killing a first-level protected animal , most people just respond with an "oh" that they don't care much about.

But cruelty and killing are different. Moreover, when public opinion gradually pushes the topic in another direction and makes people focus not on cats but on people, people will not just say "oh" indifferently, nor will it just be moral. It's just a condemnation, but it needs to be nipped in the bud.

What? Is it possible that someone who abuses cats will abuse children? ! Doesn’t that mean you’ll still abuse people in the future? What a beast! No, worse than an animal!

People will not allow such people to exist around them. Even if they are suspected of abusing cats and dogs, they are the targets of people's recent high level of vigilance. Someone even mentioned it when interacting with parents on a certain educational program on the provincial channel. Who would allow such dangerous factors to exist in the environment in which their children grow up?

That top student should be grateful that someone came to share his pressure and people's curses at this time.

When Zheng Tan was walking outside during this period, he often heard people talking about who was suspicious around them, especially those who kicked and hit animals for no reason. They were the focus of people's observation. Even the car owner who was sprayed with cat urine by Ah Huang just twisted his face and took a few deep breaths to calm down his anger, resisting the urge to kick the cat away, and then drove away without even scolding him in public. , it’s a “sensitive period” again, so just bear with it for now. Otherwise, if you yell, others won't see the cat peeing, but they will only see you yelling at the cat and kicking the cat. You don't have to wait until tomorrow. Those aunts who are out and running around tonight will let you know why cat urine smells so bad.

Looking at Ah Huang who was standing up on a tree trunk without knowing anything, Zheng Tan yawned and prepared to find a place to catch up on his sleep. He had been thinking too much recently and spent too much time online during the day. Cats already have a lot of sleep time. Zheng Tan moved his paws and calculated, and found that he did not get enough sleep.

When Zheng Tan was about to go back to the courtyard to look for a tree, he was stopped by Er Mao.

"Hei Coal, are you going out at night?" Er Mao said as he walked out of the school gate.

Zheng Tan looked at Er Mao, what was this guy planning?

Er Mao smiled with a malicious look on his face, "I'll meet you at the side door behind the East District compound at eight o'clock in the evening. If I don't see you by then, I won't wait."

night?

Zheng Tan vaguely felt that it should be about the cat abuser. In the past few days, Er Mao had only used the media and public opinion to achieve certain goals. Zheng Tan always felt that he had a next step.

In any case, we can only find out the answer in the evening.

All three of the Jiao family were there at night, so Zheng Tan was not afraid that it would be unsafe for Little Youzi to be alone at home, so he felt safe going out. When the hand of the wall clock in the Jiao family's living room pointed to seven forty, Zheng Tan ran out and arrived outside the side door in less than ten minutes.

Zheng Tan squatted next to the sidewalk that was not blocked by flower beds, watching the vehicles coming and going. Someone got off at the bus stop not far away. Seeing Zheng Tan, the others wanted to tease him, but were scared away by Zheng Tan's bared teeth. . Today Zheng Tan is too lazy to tangle with these people.

An ordinary-looking family car drove over and stopped. The window was opened. After seeing it was Er Mao, Zheng Tan jumped in through the open passenger window.

As soon as Zheng Tan entered, he smelled familiar smells, including that of the cat abuser and that of the tabby cat.

I didn't see that person, I just saw the tabby cat squatting on the back seat.

Zheng Tan looked at Er Mao doubtfully.

Er Mao curled his lips, "I drove by there and saw it squatting on the roadside and barked. Then, that's it. When I got in the car, it was sniffing everywhere. I was sniffing and growling. Black coal, you say, it Did you know we were going to fix that guy?”

Zheng Tan looked at the tabby cat squatting in the back seat with his head down and eyes narrowed as if he was taking a nap. He really didn't understand what it meant.

Without saying anything more about the tabby cat, Ermao drove away.

Er Mao's car looks a bit like Wei Leng's. He has the radio on in the car and can't stop talking: "That guy is in the trunk. Even the car has been changed. It seems that there are indeed a lot of people going to chat with him. When I found him, he There is still gauze wrapped around the head.”

It turned out that he was going to kidnap someone. Zheng Tan thought to himself, there is indeed another way to go.

The car drove outside the third ring road until it reached the suburbs. There were almost no tall buildings in sight, and the car stopped.

After Zheng Tan looked at the environment outside, his first thought was: Er Mao is planning to kill people and abandon their bodies! ?

"Be good, don't run around. If you run away, I won't care about you." Er Mao said as he got out of the car.

Zheng Tan didn't think he was saying this to himself. The tabby cat in the back seat raised his head and looked out, then opened his mouth slightly and let out a lazily "meow", with the same expression as when he just woke up. The sound of "um" came from the nasal cavity, and the car window was opened without jumping out.

Zheng Tan jumped out of the car and looked around. At this time, the surrounding weeds had not grown up yet, there were only short clumps. There are sporadic lights in the distance. Since the moon is closer to a circle today, the moonlight is good, and the surrounding area does not look very dark or hazy.

Er Mao dragged the person out of the trunk of the car. Looking at the series of actions, he didn't look like a novice. He didn't know how many times he had done similar things.

The man's hands were tied behind his back, his feet were tied tightly, his mouth was sealed, and his eyes were covered with a layer of cloth. He looked a little groggy and unconscious. These are all Ermao's masterpieces.

After dragging the man out and putting him down more than ten meters away from the car, Ermao walked back to the car, pulled out a stick from the car, and said to Zheng Tan, "Tell me, how should we fight?"

Zheng Tan didn't look at Er Mao. He saw the tabby cat looking out of the car window, not as lazy and sleepy as before.

As if confirming the identity of the person, the tabby cat "meowed", jumped out of the car and walked towards the person.

Seeing the movements of the tabby cat, Ermao remained silent, turning the stick in his hand and staring over there.

The tabby cat didn't move very fast, its ears were pulled back, its whiskers were slightly raised, and it made a "woo--" sound from its mouth.

Zheng Tan could tell that, unlike a mere warning, there was already a strong offensive intention in it.

By this time, the man had begun to wake up, kicking his legs and rolling left and right.

The evening breeze blew.

The friction between leaves, grass, and other blades makes a subtle chirping sound.

The moon is shining just right and the night is slightly cool.
