Chapter 8 The long-lost tenant

He stretched his fingers and counted them one by one.

“Outer God;

The dependents of the outer gods;

Asian hunters who target the tribe of alien gods;

Those who have a blood feud with Asian hunters, some superiors who only exist in legends... no one dares to mention their names!

There are many, many weird things that I have never seen or heard of before!”

"These things got into Yanan all at once, and as soon as they entered, they blended into society and disappeared without a trace!"

"Who knows what kind of chaos Yanan is in?!"

After listening to his words, Klein took a deep breath.

He thinks there is no need to continue today's conversation.

So the tone became colder.

"First of all, I came to you today not to argue with you."

"Second, the empire has an imperial order, and any private executions are not allowed.

Now, when a citizen dies, someone must be responsible for his death.

Even if the citizen is a thief,

The crime of stealing does not lead to death.”

The figure in the darkness didn't react much, but the vertical pupils with black lines narrowed.

With the protection of his left and right eyelids, even if he is very close, no one will notice the change in his eyes.

Klein continued:

"Third, since you are cooperating with me, you will handle this case involving extraordinary people as we agreed."

The man's vertical pupils narrowed into slits.

But for some reason, he showed no emotion.

Klein continued.

"You're disdainful, aren't you, Crocker Damen."

He called out the man's name, which made him furious.

"We made an agreement! As long as I do things for you, you are not allowed to call me by my real name! Damn it! You shouted again! What if someone hears me!? I don't want to have a second master!"

Klein ignored his cry of collapse.

"The citizens of the Empire should be protected as their natural right.

I'm a police officer,

It is my sacred duty to protect the citizens of the empire and uphold justice."

He looked at the man in the darkness who could no longer be called "human".

"Even you."

"You are a citizen of the empire, so I am trying to protect you as much as possible without using my power as a master."

"Go and find the murderer."

Chen Yan looked at the clock on the wall and saw that the time had reached 2:34.

2:34 am.

The promised guests still haven't come.

At this moment, Chen Yan no longer worried about his own safety.

He called the police, convinced that Klein Justus would handle the murder.

He had dealt with the tall, white-skinned man before and knew what kind of person he was -

Officer Klein Justice is a lunatic who calls himself "just."

He has a self-contained set of unique life creeds and values, and handles all affairs according to these two things, sometimes even going too far -

On the first day when Chen Yan came to Walker Street and couldn't even speak Imperial dialect fluently,

I saw Officer Klein smashing a drunk man's jaw with one punch. The reason was simply that "drunkness will threaten the lives of people in the community."

Officer Klein received a large number of complaints as a result, but this did not affect his continued foothold on Walker Street.

Because the chief executives of Yanan City are not stupid - the neighborhoods and communities managed by Officer Klein Justus have a crime rate that is twice as low as other areas all year round - this already explains a lot.

There are many such crazy people in the empire.

Chen Yan has been here for more than a month and already has a deep understanding of it.

The good news is that the window of the bedroom on the third floor has been blocked by him with a cabinet.

Although the gaps in the cabinets still allow air to escape, they will not take away all the heat from the heater.

For new immigrants, heating is a luxury.

Heating costs of up to 10 shillings per square meter prohibit almost all new immigrants from the bottom class.

The reason why Chen Yan turned on the heating was because she was deceived by the selling agent.

How can heating improve the rental rate?

Can increase basic rent,

Five months of heating can give his old apartment a second spring...

It's all bullshit.

Even the workers in the dust workshop of the chemical plant, those poor people who may suffer from pneumoconiosis at any time, dare not rent such old and dilapidated houses!

Chen Yan himself is obviously not a qualified investor.

All his money has been poured into this apartment, and he is completely trapped.

If there is no income in a short period of time, he will definitely starve to death before his salary is paid next month...

Therefore, he was looking forward to the visitor tonight.

That was his life-saving straw.

After finishing the bedroom, he turned around and went to the hall on the first floor.

His eyes subconsciously avoided the scratched photo and sat on the sofa covered with plastic sheeting.

In a few hours, he will go to work. Although he doesn't know exactly when he will go to work, it doesn't matter if he goes early.

The scratched note said: [Before going to work, please enter the park within XX minutes from work time.]

XX minutes, obviously double digits.

Then consider it 99 minutes.

I was waiting at the entrance of the zoo 1 hour and 39 minutes early, so I wouldn't be late!

Thinking of this, Chen Yan finally felt more relaxed.

He lay on the sofa, wrapped his collar tightly, and silently waited for tonight's visitor.

I don't know how much time passed, but just before he fell into a coma and was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bang bang."

The knock on the door was so low that you could barely hear it unless you listened carefully.

Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and in a daze, when he thought about the rent he was about to receive, he stood up and opened the door to the hall.

The moment the door lock was unlocked, a cold wind blew in from outside the door, instantly freezing him awake.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Chen Yan's head, and cold sweat flowed down his spine.

'Is it a guest outside the door, or a returning murderer?'

It was too late for his slow hand to retract.

The door opened.

Under the dim street lights that kept flickering on and off, the tall figure outside the door stiffly bent at 90 degrees and bowed to him:

"こんにちは!はじめまして,よろしくお愿いします!" (Hello, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me!)

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment.

Why the hell are you from Sakura Country!

It looks like a tall man in his 30s is wearing a pineapple head, which is already covered with snowflakes, as if he is wearing a white pineapple hat.

He was wearing tatters that looked like cotton-padded clothes. The cotton-padded clothes were already in strips. He didn't know how much he had suffered when he came here.

The dirty white scarf wrapped around his neck had long been frozen solid, and the inside of the scarf was filled with snow.

The most eye-catching part of the man's body is his left arm - it is an obviously modified wooden prosthetic hand, which is about the same size as a normal arm and looks like a bone without flesh and blood.
