At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. The entire gym fell into a strange silence.
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
Even Li Zhuo was a little surprised. He obviously did not expect that what Putnam had hidden in his clothes was actually a cat.
Only Putnam’s face was filled with a hint of embarrassment.
Armstrong muttered, “did I hear it wrong just now?”
The next moment, a soft meow could be heard from under Putnam’s clothes again.
Meow~
“…” Armstrong was silent. This was indeed a meow.
So he had been afraid for the whole day. was he actually afraid of a cat?
Thinking of this, Armstrong was slightly stunned. “That’s not right. Didn’t Putnam buy a lot of knives?”
In an instant, everyone looked at Armstrong. Everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot.
Only Putnam frowned slightly. “You investigated me?”
Armstrong immediately became nervous, not knowing how to explain. He could have just said nothing, but now he had exposed himself.
Alsop quickly said, “Putnam, don’t blame him. He was completely scared today.”
“Scared? Why?” Putnam was a little puzzled.
“I didn’t do anything to him.”
“…” Armstrong fell silent again.
Putnam had indeed done nothing to him. All of this was just his speculation.
At this time, Carl’s advantage as a child was brought into play. He asked very directly, “didn’t you bump into him today? Then you didn’t say anything. You just glared at him and left.”
It was not appropriate for others to ask this, but Carl, who was only ten years old, said it very naturally.
Putnam was silent after hearing Carl’s words.
At this moment, Li Zhuo smiled slightly and walked over. “I think I have roughly understood what happened. Let me guess.”
Everyone looked at Li Zhuo. Putnam glanced at Li Zhuo, but in the end, he did not stop him. Only Armstrong was still in a daze, completely unable to keep up with everyone’s pace.
“If I’m not wrong, this should be the case.”
“Putnam has actually been raising a kitten in Section S, but he doesn’t want everyone to know about it. As for the reason, I don’t know.”
Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned. Putnam had been raising kittens? No one knew about this at all!
After saying this, Li Zhuo glanced at Putnam. Seeing that he did not refute, he continued.
“At first, the kitten might only need to drink milk, but the kitten will eventually grow up. It is impossible to only give the kitten milk.”
“Since Putnam has raised this kitten, naturally, he will not let him go hungry. So, he began to think about how to cook for the kitten.”
Hearing this, Alan frowned slightly and asked, “that’s not right. If that’s the case, why didn’t he just ask Wilson to send the cat food in? Also, what does this have to do with buying knives?”
Li Zhuo glanced at him and smiled. “Didn’t I say just now that Putnam probably didn’t want everyone to know about this? This also included Wilson, or he was worried that Wilson would leak the secret.”
“As for buying a knife… I’m afraid it’s to make food for the kitten.”
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard that.
Buying a knife… just to make food for the kitten? Was it that simple?
Li Zhuo continued to explain. “You all saw it just now. After Armstrong spilled the beans, Putnam wasn’t too surprised. He was just a little dissatisfied.”
“This means that he probably guessed that his shopping records might be found out by others. That’s why he didn’t directly buy cat food. This is too obvious.”
“However, buying a knife is different. He can use the knife to kill the chicken himself, and then prepare some chicken meat for the kitten to eat.”
“My guess should be right.” Li Zhuo smiled and looked at Putnam. Putnam remained silent and did not refute.
Carl nodded and said, “What Li Zhuo said is indeed very reasonable, but why does Putnam want to kill the chicken in the gym? Isn’t the kitchen a good place?”
“That’s because he’s not sure when the kitchen will be occupied.” Lee Zhuo immediately gave an answer. “Any one of us could have Wilson cook something for us in the kitchen at any time, so the kitchen is not a safe place.”.
“For Putnam, the place he was the most familiar with is the gym, because almost no one else except Alan would go to the gym.”
“Alan actually goes to the gym at a fixed time, usually between 1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon. He wouldn’t go to the gym at other times.”
Hearing this, everyone came to a sudden realization once again. Only Alan showed an unnatural expression. Why does this kid know so much about his behavior trajectory?
When exactly did he write down these details?!
After listening to Li Zhuo’s words, Alsop had basically completely believed him, but she still had some doubts. “But… why would there be so much blood left in the gym after killing the chicken?”
This was indeed very strange, and everyone could not figure it out. Only Li Zhuo looked at Putnam helplessly and said, “You should tell this matter yourself.”
Everyone looked at Putnam. Putnam’s expression was still a little awkward. After a long while, he said reluctantly, “That’s because… I failed a few times.”
“…” Everyone was silent.
This gym was almost covered in blood. How many times did you fail?!
Moreover, if you failed, why did you have to do it in a different corner? Why didn’t you just stick to one corner?!
Putnam seemed to have seen the ridicule in everyone’s hearts. He said awkwardly, “If you keep killing chickens in the same place, the smell will be very strong. It will be very difficult to eliminate the smell, but if you scatter it in different corners, it will be much easier to clean up…”
“…” It did sound reasonable, but the problem was that you had already caused the room to be filled with blood!!
Putnam saw everyone’s speechless looks and helplessly took out the kitten from his under his clothes.
It was an English short-haired cat, also known as the Blue Cat. Its fur was gray and it looked very cute. It was also very small and could lie in Putnam’s palm.
At this moment, the kitten was licking its paws gently. It was not afraid at all of the masters of crime around it.
When Alsop saw such a cute kitten, she immediately rushed over with cheers and hugged the kitten in her arms.
Armstrong, on the other hand, had a blank look on his face. So he had been afraid for a long time just for this kitten?
“So you glared at me this morning because…?” He subconsciously asked.
“I was afraid that the cat would cry out like that just now, so I was too nervous. I didn’t have time to apologize, so I ran away. Now, I apologize to you.”
“…”
So the look in your eyes that looked like you were going to kill someone was just because you were nervous!!
