Wen Qizhou leaned against the door, glanced at the faces of the four people, and said in a calm voice: "It could be a homicide and then a suicide."
Yuan Chuan: "..."
Brother Liu: "..."
Do they look like fools?
Zhong Chen and Zhou Wenwen had a good relationship, so there was 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 wave of people besides them.
The murderer can only be one of his own.
As for who? Yuan Chuan and Brother Liu already knew this, 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, and followed his words and thought deeply: "Could it be that there is 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 in his mind and concluded that she killed and then committed suicide of those 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 weak men, 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 big eyes and small eyes, 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 his eyes and looked at the slippers under her feet, guessing that she ran out temporarily.
Sun Rui sobbed 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 extremely 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."
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 breath.
He turned around and said, "The person 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 room one after another, Yang Beijia, who was being pinched, slowly woke up.
As soon as she recovered, she held 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, his anger suppressed by grief also rose.
He shook her hand away hard: "Yang Beijia, please understand that 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 predict, so how could I know he was holding back the evil?" Yang Beijia blushed and argued with him on the basis of the victim's innocence, 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 had tasted the sweetness would 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 there were few of them.
As for 2603──
is not within their 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 supplies were scarce and life was not guaranteed, they targeted the residents of the community and attacked 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 in their house."
Others stepped forward and kicked and smashed the houses 01 and 02 that were closest to the corridor.
The hot 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, don't 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?"
"Are you him..."
A deafening "bang" sound fell.
The second-in-command, who had a bloody hole in his forehead, fell to the ground with his eyes widened before he could finish speaking.
Before anyone else could react, Wen Qizhou raised his arm, aimed another shot at the strong man behind him.
Having lost two people with the right to speak in a row, the minions were frightened and ran towards the stairs in a state of pee.
"Will you try one more step forward?" His voice was like a god of death whispering in the ears, and everyone subconsciously stopped.
The only sound of breathing could be heard in the corridor, and the next second there were two shallow sounds of opening the door.
Yuan Chuan and Yao Chengwei, who were debating whether to open the door before, saw them taking action and rushed out with machetes.
The three of them ran towards the location of the minions, each wielding a knife to kill one of them, which saved the couple a lot of bullets.
"Big, big sister, I was wrong!!" The remaining short man knelt down and begged: "Don't kill me, I'm useful! I know where they hid the supplies!"
"you say."
"I said, can you spare my life?"
Chi Yue put away her gun.
As soon as she expressed her stance, the short man Ma Liu told the location where the supplies were stored, clasped his hands and said, "Can I go?"
"Yes." Chi Yue glanced at Yuan Chuan behind him, indicating that he should be dealt with.
The short man who was about to get up felt a pain in his neck.
He covered the aorta that was constantly gushing blood, and looked at Chi Yue with hatred, as if to say that she didn't keep her word.
Chi Yue kicked his body away and pointed at the strong, dead man: "Qi Zhou, hang him up with a rope."
"Okay." Wen Qizhou first wrapped a hemp rope around his neck and then dragged him to the safe passage.
Zhao Peng went over to help.
Yuan Chuan and Yao Chengwei dragged the remaining five corpses to the window and threw them downstairs one by one.
After everything was dealt with, based on the information provided by the short man, they took the door key from the burly man and went to 3303 to find a pile of supplies hidden in a certain wall.
"There is actually mineral water!" Yao Chengwei picked up half a box of 550ml mineral water alone, his eyes shining.
Yuan Chuan was also stunned.
He weighed five bags of instant noodles and said, "They have so many good things." They were hard to find outside.
