Capítulo 16: Tracking the culprit (4)
To watch for the surveillance video, Lawrence sat in the chair straight for four hours.
He and the other officers were seriously scrutinizing every camera but there was nothing that could show them who did it or does it contain any clue.
Kevin, for being the small and adorable white and black cat that he is, patiently endured and waited for Lawrence to be back.
But this is too much!
He had been sitting on top of the shelves for four hours!
He glanced at the clock, then at the three empty plates sitting at his side. His long fluffy tail was fiddling around, sometimes curling, then straightened and it would twirl again.
He was bored!
A kind maid who is in charge of assisting the police officers with whatever they need is stationed at the side. She was busy dusting off the inside of the shelves. It was also she who kindly asked the chef to cook some dried fish for Nala.
The old butler repeatedly instructed them to not feed chicken meat to Nala for non meal times. If they can see the small fluffy cat roaming around asking for food, they can give a plate of small dried fish.
The maid was completely smitten when she saw the adorable black and white cat sitting majestically on top of one of the shelves.
The rounded pure jade eyes blink slowly at her. The maid's inner child was unlocked and she wanted to pounce on the majestic cat.
But she was able to hold herself back. Her eyes lit up and she immediately asked for a plate of small dried fish and offered it to the majestic cat.
Kevin, who got bored as hell, saw the maid's offering and stared down at her.
What's this?
Offering food to this master?
Wanna touch this fluffy master? Hmph.
Kevin lean down his head and his pink nose brushes the surface of the food.
Is this tasty? Kevin glanced at Lawrence whose attention is poured on the surveillance and decided to give this poor maid a chance.
This servant is self knowing. Kevin praised.
No touching unless you offer food. Hmm.
Kevin only wanted to lick the food but when his slightly bumpy tongue savored the taste, his pure jade eyes lit up.
Yum!
Kevin is not hungry. No. He's not.
He was a well-behaved but very bored kitty.
If someone will offer food to him to relieve boredom, why reject it?
After savoring the tasty small dried fish plate, he actively meowed and sold meng to the servant maid.
Letting her pet his head a couple of times and rub his precious beautiful fur with her slightly calloused palm.
The little servant maid was excited.
Kevin closed his eyes comfortably. He blinked once and was about to nudge the maid's fingers when he spotted the bandaged wound on her neck.
It wasn't very noticeable at first, but his keen eyes knew that the bandage was wrapped around the neckline part.
Kevin stretched and leaned closer to the little maid's neck and sniffed.
The smell of blood had not dissipated yet. Was it last night? That she was bitten? Kevin sniffed a second time and managed to caught a distinct scent wafted in the air.
His jade eyes narrowed.
The smell is somehow minty, like a peppermint perfume he faintly smelled from the oldest son.
"M - meoww~"
Poor servant. Kevin stretched out his soft meat paw pad and gently pressed them on the little maid's neck.
The little maid noticed the adorable movement of the young master's cat and her eyes softened.
"Don't worry this isn't serious. Recently, there were many blood sucking mosquitoes that can somehow get inside the servant's headquarters. These big mosquitoes came from the forest at the back of the Wilson manor. We have many insect repellants sprayed every night so it shouldn't be an issue. Maybe those mosquitoes will be gone when winter comes." The little maid said with a hopeful tone.
She hummed slightly and pinched Kevin's head slightly before taking the empty plate back.
Kevin pondered for a few seconds. He wanted to follow the little maid back but it was obvious he needed to wait later. The little maid will work and run errands all morning, she will only retire to her room at night.
He should follow her at night. Making sure none of the servants who were awake at night saw him running across the corridors.
A plan was formulated and Kevin waited another hour.
But Lawrence did not budge from where he was sitting at. Still scrutinizing the surveillance without taking a break.
Kevin got bored again and let out a huge yawn.
After another hour, the little maid dutifully offered another plate. And then another plate.
Now Kevin has three empty plates and a very well-satiated stomach.
After four hours, Lawrence was finally done. He gazed across the room and managed to get caught a small black and white dumpling curling in a roll at the top of the shelf.
One of the maids dutifully removed three empty plates and even stroked the small dumpling thrice before leaving.
Lawrence raised a brow.
Did he miss something while he was busy?
Lawrence stretch his hand and gently lifted the small dumpling. He then held the little kitty in his arms and left.
The other police officers did not pay attention to him picking up the cat so he wasn't worried. But he can't move forward with his investigation and stay hidden if others will figure out whose cat is he holding.
Thinking up to this, he went to one of the baggage brought by the police and took out a small blue sling bag.
Kevin, the majestic black and white cat meowed aggrievedly at Lawrence.
He immediately sensed his attention and glared at him.
You wanted to stuff this master inside that filthy thing?!
Are you out of your mind?
Lawrence pacified the little kitty by stroking the soft fur.
"I cannot move around freely if I carry you round. So, I will hide you inside in order to find the suspect. You came with me to help me right? Can you do me this favor Nala?"
