Xiao He sometimes really admired the system's ability to select addresses.
This place is indeed a suitable base for crime, not only do they think so, but other "like-minded" people think so too.
Upon opening the door, he encountered two suspicious individuals, leaving Xiao He at a loss. The urge to run away began to stir within him.
"Rolling—"
The bunny boy angrily waved his hand at the fat man with disgust, but the fat man, thinking about what was downstairs, didn't want to say anything more to him. He simply rolled his eyes, turned around, opened another room in the corridor, and slammed the door shut.
"You be quiet too!"
The bunny boy glared at Xiao He, mustered all his courage, let out a sharp shout, and then dashed back to his room as if afraid that Xiao He would suddenly attack him.
Xiao He took a deep breath.
What kind of people are these?!
Xiao He returned to the living room, quickly put on a dust cover, and then looked at the room, which was now completely tidied up, with satisfaction before returning to his current villa.
He probably won't be coming back to this place anytime soon.
Perhaps because Xiao He had stopped tidying up, the room was indeed very quiet. But soon, he heard a sweet female voice coming from next door through the wall.
"Thanks, bro, I just picked up my takeout."
"Yeah, I've been dieting lately, but I haven't been feeling great. I've been eating nothing but grass all day, sob sob, it's so miserable."
"Wow, thank you for the rocket, brother! You're so sweet, love you~ Little Bao will receive a kiss-filled gift later tonight, remember to check it~"
Xiao He: ? It turns out I misunderstood that guy. This room really isn't soundproof. The sounds from next door are so clear late at night!
That sound... something seems off, doesn't it?
Why did it switch to a sweet female voice again?!
Wasn't it a man just now?
Could it be that two people live over there?
A few minutes later, he heard the delivery guy coming upstairs.
Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door of the next room.
Then [N O V E L I G H T] Xiao He's familiar, deep male voice rang out: "Thank you."
A moment later, he heard a sweet, coquettish female voice from next door saying thank you: "Wow, thank you for the delivery, dear brother~ I said I was going to lose weight~ How could you be so mean! You deliberately tempted me tonight, how am I supposed to sleep! I just can't do anything with you, hmph!"
"Then how about punishing Brother Shenqing by making him stay in the live stream with me all night? Is that okay?"
Xiao He gasped.
Good heavens, now he finally understands where this guy's criminal aura comes from.
Isn't this a complete scam?
Thinking about the guys he had just seen, Xiao He really admired them.
This is because times are progressing and technology is developing. As long as the lower limit is low enough, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Xiao He rubbed his arms with disgust when he thought of the bunny boy who had transformed himself into a female ghost.
We can't stay here for another second!
He needs to leave here first to avoid getting into trouble!
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to flee!
Before leaving, Xiao He carefully adjusted his mask and hat, then let out a long sigh.
Just as Xiao He locked the door, the fat man who had been confronting the bunny boy earlier also came out of his room.
Seemingly not expecting his new neighbor to also be going out, the fat man glanced warily at his new neighbor.
The new neighbor was dressed entirely in black, even his hat was black. His demeanor was particularly gloomy in the somewhat dilapidated corridor, and the fat man had a feeling that this person was not a policeman or anything like that.
Since none of them are good, what's there to be afraid of?
The fat man's tension eased slightly, and his gaze fell on the locked room 403 next door. His eyes darted around calculatingly, and he deliberately lingered in the same spot for a while before following the other person downstairs. As they walked, he tried to get closer to the other person by asking, "Brother, do you rent or buy this room?"
The new neighbor lowered his head slightly, obscuring his expression. He simply adjusted his mask, as if he had smelled something particularly disgusting, and shifted to the side before answering in a hoarse voice, "Is there something you need?"
"Well, I've actually been wanting to rent this room for a while, but I haven't been able to find the landlord."
The fat man rubbed his hands together. "So I wanted to know if this house is yours? If it is, could you...?"
"Can't."
The new neighbor gave a cold reply and continued walking forward.
"Hey, brother, brother, let's talk again."
The fat man, however, persisted in following behind.
"Let's talk this over. You don't seem like someone who lives here regularly. If it's possible, I can pay a little more rent—"
"Hey, brother!"
-
"Brother, there's movement!"
Behind the big tree, Officer Jin's words made Officer Zheng's expression freeze, and he subconsciously directed his colleagues behind him to take cover.
In their sight, an elderly scavenger dressed in tattered clothes, carrying a dirty plastic bag, squatted behind the railing of a billboard in the distance.
"It must be him. He was the one who came to make contact last time," Officer Jin said in a low voice. "This guy changed hands three times, selling the batteries in the next town for a high price. He even deliberately started a fire using old batteries, resulting in one death and one injury. There's no mistake about it!"
"He got away last time, but this time we caught him red-handed. I want to see how they'll try to deny it now!"
Officer Jin stared at the people over there, his eyes burning with excitement.
Although car theft and resale are not major cases, they are linked to another case of arson, which makes us more cautious.
What's more, this was his first time participating in such a field arrest operation from start to finish!
It sounds so interesting!
Of course, being able to catch the criminal is itself a meaningful thing.
And so, to Officer Jin's expectant gaze, their target, the fat man, finally appeared!
Just ahead of the fat man was a young man wearing a mask and a hat, and the two seemed to be talking as they walked.
Of course, from their angle, all they could see was the fat man chasing after the young man and saying something, while the young man's face was almost entirely shrouded in the shadows of his mask and hat, so no one knew whether the young man was responding or not.
However, this is enough to increase the suspicion surrounding this young man!
"It's that guy who drove the Jeep this afternoon!"
Officer Jin lowered his voice and said, "He definitely has a problem!"
The owner of the car was a middle-aged man, not the young man in front of us. We had initially guessed that he was just borrowing the car, but now that he was walking with the guy who stole the electric bike, it looked very suspicious.
—Could this car have been stolen too?
Officer Kim instinctively developed reasonable suspicions.
Officer Zheng didn't think it was likely, but out of caution, he still instructed, "Be careful in a bit, and have him wait a while for questioning."
If there are no problems, then everything is fine; but if there are problems, then they cannot let it go.
"yes!"
Officer Jin nodded repeatedly, his gaze fixed intently on the young man.
Having just shaken off that annoying fat guy, Xiao He, who was about to speed up and move forward, subconsciously rubbed his arms.
Something feels off.
It seems like someone is watching us.
