Chapter 16: Someone is watching them(1/2)
Wen Qizhou leaned against the door, glanced at the faces of the four people, and said in a calm voice: "It might be a homicide and then a suicide."
Yuan Chuan: "..."
Brother Liu: "..."
Do they look like fools?
Zhong Chen and Zhou Wenwen have a good relationship, so there is no reason to come all the way here and stage a murder-suicide drama.
Moreover, there was no sign of shortage of supplies in the building, and there was obviously no other group of people besides them.
The murderer can only be one of your own.
As for who it was? Yuan Chuan and Brother Liu already knew it, but they tacitly remained silent.
The former trusts the other party and thinks that Zhong Chen must have forced him to act cruelly; the latter just doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"So cruel?" Yao Chengwei did not doubt his own people. He followed his words and thought deeply: "Is there something hidden?"
His roommate said: "I guess it was Zhou Wenwen who found out what happened the night before. She was so angry that she wanted to die with him."
Chi Yue said: "What happened the night before?"
"There is a girl on the seventeenth floor who likes Zhong Chen. He met her behind Zhou Wenwen's back the night before and even gave her supplies."
"Gone?"
"I didn't see them doing anything else at the time." Roommate Zhao Peng paused: "But there is a high probability that he cheated."
"That makes sense." Yao Chengwei imagined a big drama and concluded that she killed and then committed suicide of the two people.
Chi Yue nodded in agreement.
She said to the two innocent young people: "Since the case has been solved, let's move the cargo boxes out of the office first?"
"Okay." Everyone worked together to move the supplies.
Then he took away Zhong Chen's car keys, dragged a dozen cargo boxes, and returned to Yujingwan smoothly.
There were no robbers along the way. Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng, two men with poor skills, had smiles on their faces.
But when they saw the two doors of the safe passage on the 26th floor wide open, their smiles stopped abruptly.
"Zhao Peng..." Zhao Peng's girlfriend heard the footsteps and ran down from the 27th floor crying: "Our home was robbed."
Zhao Peng and Yao Chengwei were stunned on the spot.
Seeing their wide-eyed stares, Wen Qizhou took a step forward and asked for key information: "Have the robbers left yet?"
"gone."
"Then why are you upstairs?" Chi Yue lowered her eyes and glanced at the slippers under her feet, guessing that she ran out temporarily.
Sun Rui choked and told the story: "Beijia brought back an old man tonight and said he was pitiful and wanted to give him something to eat."
She was very angry.
But considering that the old man was still there, she did not have a fit on the spot, but waited for them to leave before reasoning with Yang Beijia.
Yang Beijia not only refused to listen to the advice, but also violently called her a cold-blooded animal. She felt aggrieved and ran out.
While she was sitting in the corridor, she heard the old man talking to others. Looking down curiously, she saw him leading two sturdy middle-aged men upstairs.
"I was very scared at the time..." After Sun Rui sensed the danger, she didn't dare to go home at all: "So I hid it."
Yao Chengwei thought of Yang Beijia who was left alone at home, and ran to the door of 2603 with a pale face.
He pushed open the ajar door and saw the figure lying in the messy living room, and his whole heart dropped.
"Beijia..." His eyes were red, his legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't take a single step.
Seeing him standing there like a sculpture, Chi Yue pushed his shoulder away and walked up to Yang Beijia to explore her breathing.
He turned around and said: "He is still alive."
"Ah?" Yao Chengwei was stunned for two seconds, and all his grief disappeared in an instant: "I thought she was dead."
"She was just knocked unconscious." Chi Yue didn't want to touch this peerless kind man, so she asked Yao Chengwei to come over and pinch her.
"Yueyue, can we come in?" Wen Qizhou, who was still standing in the corridor, asked.
In order to avoid the worst situation, he and others did not follow Yang Beijia when she accidentally saw her naked.
Chi Yue: "Okay."
As they entered the house one after another, Yang Beijia, who was being pinched, slowly woke up.
As soon as she recovered, she covered the aching back of her head and cried, "Chengwei, the things I stored are gone!"
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
When Yao Chengwei woke up safe and sound, her anger suppressed by grief also rose.
He shook her hand away forcefully: "Yang Beijia, please understand, those supplies are not yours alone! How can you compensate for the losses you caused to Zhao Peng and the others with your random kindness?"
"What do you mean I show random kindness? I'm a victim too! Just don't comfort me and blame me instead?"
"If you don't blame me, who do you blame? If you hadn't brought the person home, how could these things have happened?"
"I don't have the ability to foresee, so how could I know he was holding back the evil?" Yang Beijia blushed and argued with him on the basis that the victim was innocent, showing no remorse.
"Pause." Chi Yue was not here to listen to the debate. She asked, "Have you seen that old man before?"
"never seen it."
"Then what were you talking about then?"
"Just a few words about family matters." Yang Beijia still remembered the last time she was beaten. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not hide it.
Chi Yue asked about the situation and asked the other person to describe the characteristics and appearance of those people.
After getting useful information, she looked at Wen Qizhou opposite and returned home without staying any longer. No matter how noisy they were, they had no intention of intervening.
"Qizhou." She washed herself off and leaned into Wen Qizhou's arms: "I feel like those people are targeting the 26th floor."
Yuan Chuan and the people in 2603 go out frequently and come back with supplies every time, which makes them jealous easily.
The person who chose Yang Beijia to attack tonight must have been observing them in the dark for a long time, otherwise how would they know their whereabouts?
"Well, they should still take action." Wen Qizhou deeply believed that those who have tasted the sweetness will find it difficult to give up easily.
"Then let's go out less often these days."
If they hadn't been worried about arousing suspicion and becoming a living target in Building 2, they wouldn't have been running back and forth in the high temperature.
She rubbed her eyes twice: "You tell Yuan Chuan tomorrow and we will guard the house instead."
Wen Qizhou had no objection.
He knew that she wanted to take this opportunity to stay at home for a while, so when discussing with Yuan Chuan, he took the initiative to take on the task of housekeeping four days a week on the grounds that they had few people.
As for 2603──
It is not within their scope of consideration.
*
Fast forward to the end of August.
The temperature at night rises to 50 degrees Celsius, the rivers dry up, and more and more people are suffering from heat stroke.
Teams who go out to collect supplies not only have to deal with robbery gangs, rats and cockroaches, but also endure the physical damage caused by high temperatures, so many people dare not take risks.
When they lack supplies and cannot guarantee their livelihood, they target the residents of the community and attack at night.
"Bang──"
The door to the security passage on the 26th floor was broken open.
Six well-prepared adult men, armed with watermelon knives, sticks and hemp ropes, swarmed into the corridor aggressively.
The thin man in charge of unlocking the door walked to 2601, took out various tools and tried it again: "Boss, this door cannot be opened."
“Try next door.”
"...can't open it either."
"Then smash it!" The strong man who was called the boss kicked the door in front of him: "They must have good things at home."
Others stepped forward and kicked and smashed the houses 01 and 02 that were closest to the corridor.
The stuffy corridor made them sweat profusely, but no matter how hard they tried, the two doors still couldn't be opened.
"Fuck!" The second-in-command was extremely angry and shouted at the closed door: "If you can, never come out for the rest of your life!"
Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou stood by the door, listening to them discussing loudly how to stop them.
Although I knew it was a way to provoke the generals, leaving the "bomb" buried at the door was not an option. It would be better to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
"Yueyue, I'm opening the door." Wen Qizhou covered the door handle, made sure she was ready, and pressed it down slightly.
The moment the door opened, the second-in-command who was about to kick him swayed and almost lost his footing.
Before he could get angry, Chi Yue pointed the muzzle of the gun at his forehead and taunted him coldly: "You still want to rob someone with your body?"
