Chapter 1579: Chapter 1579: Dog-like Cat

"City Lord, the warehouse door was never opened during the attack."

Although he had been rendered unconscious by the attack, he distinctly remembered what the warehouse had looked like before he passed out.

The warehouse door certainly hadn’t been opened before he was attacked, yet the assailant had used some unknown method to enter without unlocking the door right under their noses.

This was truly bizarre.

"What happened then?"

City Lord Yun asked.

However, despite his questioning, City Lord Yun was not particularly surprised by their account.

After all, he had previously ordered several locks on the warehouse door, yet it didn’t prevent the food from being stolen time and again, without exception.

"Subordinate, subordinate doesn’t know either."

How could the guard know what had happened? He only knew that his neck was still aching.

The attacker had been so ruthless, nearly severing his head from his neck.

As City Lord Yun questioned the guard, Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo were sizing up the empty warehouse.

"Brother Molian, look here."

In a corner, Lin Caisang squatted down and examined several strands of hair on the ground.

Reaching out to pick them up, she was stopped by Sui Zimo’s hand.

"Be careful."

"Don’t worry, they are not poisonous, just some ordinary hair," Lin Caisang glanced at him and said.

Despite her assurance, Sui Zimo did not allow her to touch the strands of hair and instead picked them up himself.

"What kind of animal hair is this, and why is it so long?"

She looked at the strands of hair curiously and asked Sui Zimo.

It was truly strange, each strand was as long as half her forearm, but it couldn’t possibly be human hair.

Because the hair was yellow.

Moreover, when Lin Caisang held the hair up to her nose and sniffed, she frowned immediately.

"There’s a fishy smell, it’s not human hair, we can be sure it’s animal hair," she said.

"If we ask them, we’ll know."

Sui Zimo directed his gaze towards City Lord Yun and the others.

The two of them walked over, and he presented the hair to City Lord Yun.

"City Lord Yun, do you have any long-haired animals here?" he inquired.

"Well..."

"Young Master, we have many animals here with soft, long hair, not just one kind. We’ve also found such hair before, but honestly, these hairs are not useful for anything," Yun Ceng said to Sui Zimo.

He thought the pair from Wuzhu Teahouse might uncover something significant, but to his surprise, they too focused on these hairs.

Regrettably, hair like this could be found anywhere, not just in this warehouse.

"Young Master, the hair in your hand should belong to a dog-cat hybrid," Yun Bai said after glancing at the hair Sui Zimo was holding and speaking to him.

"But in Yun City, many households keep dog-cat hybrids; they’re not particularly precious animals. Moreover, dog-cat hybrids are quite dumb—it’s unlikely they’d steal so much food."

"Dog-cat hybrids, huh."

Lin Caisang glanced at Sui Zimo and noticed he had simply loosened his grip, letting the hairs fall to the ground.

"If many people keep them, are they still widely kept nowadays? Have any households that keep dog-cat hybrids reported these animals missing? Would you please have someone investigate this, City Lord?"
