?Chapter 336: Chapter 329: Random Passerby Who Picks Up Junk Chapter 336: Chapter 329: Random Passerby Who Picks Up Junk When he left the neighborhood, there was only the little boy, as the little girl actually lived here and had just gone home.

Zheng Tan followed not far behind the little boy. After exiting this lakeside villa area, they walked along the avenue, turned at a corner, where there was a community built a decade ago, and the boy’s home was located there.

It was Zheng Tan’s first time in this area. Compared to some of the communities on the old street side, there wasn’t much difference here, perhaps because the communities built at that time were all quite similar.

The child’s family lived on the second floor, and even before entering the building, one could see a cat with yellow and white patches squatting on the windowsill. This must be the twelve-year-old Old Cat. In comparison with Ah Huang and the sheriff, the emotions revealed in this cat’s eyes seemed more composed, whether due to its age or its inherent nature.

The boy glanced at the cat on the second floor, waved with a smile, then entered the building. In the past, his family’s cat could have easily leaped down from the second floor, and no door could keep it in, but now it couldn’t; it stayed indoors most of the time, at most lying on the windowsill to bask in the sun and watch the outside.

Zheng Tan did not follow inside. Seeing the cat on the second floor returned to the room after the boy entered the building, Zheng Tan decided to climb directly to the second floor to take a look. After all, he was just a cat now, not a human; he probably wouldn’t be regarded as a thief.

Climbing in such old residential communities was easy, especially since many residents liked to install canopies over their windows to block rainwater and air conditioning drainage from the units above.

After climbing to the windowsill on the second floor, Zheng Tan did not go inside; instead, he just squatted there.

The area of this room was not large, similar to the Jiao family’s, but it was a two-bedroom and one-living-room setup. Probably, older community housing liked to design bedrooms to be somewhat larger, which made the living room seem much smaller.

This room did not have a balcony. Looking at the photo on the bedside table, it should be the boy’s parents’ room. The door was not closed, so from the windowsill, Zheng Tan could see the situation near the main door.

Old Cat was squatting about half a step away from the door. When it heard familiar footsteps, its tail slowly started to sway and curve as it looked at the gap under the door.

After the sound of the security door opening, no immediate sound of the wooden door being opened followed. Instead, a long green stalk was poked through the gap below the door. Zheng Tan had seen the boy pulling this stalk up in a flower bed within the community earlier and had wondered what the child would do with the grass. He initially thought it was just the playful nature of children at this age, always wanting to pull on something for fun, but now it seemed that was not the case. Moreover, from the way they interacted, this scene must have occurred more than once, perhaps having continued for several years.
