Chapter 207: Haste Makes Waste

Zhang Zian went first to the company that lost the imported watch. He used the access card given by Yu Fei to open the glass French door.
Old Time Tea observed the access control system carefully, ”Zian, only this small card can open the door?”
”It should be.” Zhang Zian patted the access card in his hand, ”but it's hard to say because this card can be copied privately by people for evil purposes. As long as they have the original card, they can use simple technology to produce a fake copy that has all the functions of the original in only a few seconds.”
Old Time Tea was pondering something. ”Even if those cats did steal something, how did they run away? Did someone open the door for them?”
”It is possible.” Zhang Zian admitted that from the beginning, he believed there was someone, perhaps a real cat trainer, behind the scene controlling those cats.
He held the door to let Galaxy, Old Time Tea and Fina enter first.
There were two companies located on the fifth floor. The company that had lost the watch was called Red Leaf Commercial Trading, an enterprise of small to medium size that specialized in foreign trade of garments.
Zhang Zian recalled the content of the video, and soon he found the office in which the watch was lost.
He used the key provided by Yu Fei to open the lock, pushed open the door and entered into the office. He noticed Liu Miao's desk right away, or precisely speaking, the desk previously belonged to Liu Miao, as the current name plate on the table had been replaced by someone else's name.
The layout of the office was no different from any other office building—rows of desks arranged in an orderly manner, and on each desk was one or two monitors. The less important documents were scattered on the desks. Observing the clutter, you could roughly tell if the owner of that desk was male or female, a scene that Zhang Zian also felt very familiar with.
”Zian, I feel...” Old Time Tea didn't get to finish its sentence when it and Fina looked up at the same time.
Zhang Zian followed their gazes.
Above his head was a metal ventilation pipe that went across the entire office.
”What's wrong?” he asked.
”Shut up!” Fina's ears turned like antennae aimed at the ventilation pipe.
”Zian, something seems to be moving in there,” Old Time Tea whispered.
”What is it?” Zhang Zian also lowered his voice. He stared at the ventilation pipe, but he did not notice or hear anything.
Old Time Tea shook his head, ”It has stopped moving now. Something was moving and jumping around swiftly, probably…”
”The Mytha.” Fina said coldly, ”These scums dared to do such shameless things to taint the reputation of the Mytha! Unacceptable!”
Really?
Zhang Zian carefully observed the ventilation pipe, ”So, the cat that stole the watch came in and out through the ventilation pipe?”
”Yes, very likely.” said Old Time Tea assuredly.
”No wonder no one has caught them.” Zhang Zian suddenly became confident. ”If we follow that sound, we can locate the criminals.”
”We need to figure out how those cats got in the pipe.” Old Time Tea reminded him.
Zhang Zian knew that there must be an entrance somewhere, so that the cats could have free access to the ventilation pipe. In general, a ventilation pipe had a mesh fence before the outlet. Cats may be able to push out the fence to jump out, but certainly they could not restore the fence back to its original state if they were outside the pipe.
”Meow! Galaxy can go in!” Galaxy suddenly said.
Zhang Zian was confused for a second, but then he understood what Galaxy meant. It was going to enter the pipeline in quantum state, and then return to normal when it got in the pipeline. This was a viable option, but he was somewhat worried about it.
”Galaxy, are you sure you can do that?” He squatted down to ask Galaxy.
