Wang Chao peered out the window at the crowded street outside, but Jiang He was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Chaos heart pulsed with emotion. Jiang He was truly a man of the wind, he walked away as soon as the case was closed. Nevertheless, Jiang He had conned him out of three hundred RMB before departing, causing Wang Chao to be furious. As long as Wang Chao checked it, he would know which police station Jiang He worked for, notwithstanding. He will definitely make Jiang He invite him to dinner.
So, where exactly was he?
The man in question was currently at the entrance to Chengshun Street.
Jiang He took a taxi directly here after exiting the Public Security Branch.
At this point, Jiang He raised his head with his eyes scanning sothing like a scanner.
Jiang He discovered this after a period of observation.
This is a cara, Jiang He confird with a satisfied nod.
He was standing in the sa spot where Li Weiyi had been not long ago.
This road led Jiang He to Li Weiyis dwelling. Jiang He lifted his head without glancing at his feet the entire ti. The astonished drivers repeatedly cursed Jiang He to death as he passed by their cars driving on the highway a few tis. Jiang He, on the other hand, appeared to be able to automatically filter these noises. Neither could he hear the drivers voices nor the sound of cars honking at the mont.
The standard monitoring range angle for caras would be about 120 degrees. Jiang He raised his head to ntally record all the caras he could see, and his mind began to visualize at the sa ti. Because of Jiang Hes illness, he was able to record all of the caras positions without much effort, and he would never forget it.
Jiang Hes brain devised a reasonable route to avoid the caras surveillance range. He was staring up at the cara the entire ti, having already arrived at the community where Li Weiyi resided as he skilfully steered clear of all the caras. Jiang He thought about the path he had taken and was stunned to learn that the cara wouldnt be able to light up the entire length of the walls base.
It was a scorching sumr day, and there was a 70% chance that pedestrians will walk down the sa road as Jiang He because it was the option that will keep them the coolest.
This implied that Li Weiyi might not have intentionally avoided the cara if he had returned.
Let it go, let it go..
A voice could be heard near Jiang He.
When Jiang He opened his eyes and turned to face the sound, he saw a sanitation worker.
It was by that point that Jiang He realized he was standing next to a row of trash cans.
Even though it was already after seven in the evening, the sky was not yet dark and the sun was still far to the west, emitting waste heat.
It was still sweltering outside, so a heavy rain right now would be welco.
As they loaded garbage trucks with buckets of garbage, the sanitation workers perspired profusely.
Im good, Ill toss away huge bouquets of roses even if theyre fresh. They are worthless to .
Going ho and gifting it to your wife would make her happy.
One sanitation worker said to another.
My wife surely doesnt want it, she must say that I dont want to be serious all day, and I always create these things, rather than let her reprimand , I may as well dont give it.
Won are deceitful creatures, you know. They may criticise you on the surface, but deep down they care about you.
Really?
Why would I lie to you? This is how all won are. Youre simply too young to see right through it. Your wife will be delighted to have that bouquet..
Jiang He gradually receded as the two of them continued to talk while they were dumping the garbage.
Jiang He, though, rembered that the small card on the rose read: Ruili Flower shop after clearly hearing the two peoples conversation.
Only five won have spoken with Jianghe more than 10 tis in his life so far, apart from love affairs and marriages.
On the other hand, Jiang He was puzzled as to why two people would desire a romance. He reasoned that doing experints would be more engaging than confronting and spending a lot of ti with another individual. If it was just a direct expression of sexual desire, it worked the sa through the hand.
It is possible that these peoples lives are too monotonous to base their lives on getting along with others, Jiang He believed so.
He entered the security room while pondering these questions.
To be honest, the well-connected escape route will undoubtedly draw a lot of thieves for business if this open community loses its security guards.
Three or four people were inside the security room when Jiang He opened the door; they were playing cards, drinking, and watching TV.
Jiang He took a look at these people and imdiately recognized the previous security captain.
The security captain stood there for a long ti before realizing the one in front of him was Jiang He.
Oh, youre that police officer.
The security captain inquired, Officer, how is the situation?
Did you find out who killed him?
No, not yet. What happened to the second guard? Jiang He observed a security guard trembling under a blanket by the side and asked.
The security captain waved his hand and remarked, Its nothing, hes just terrified.
Everyone in the neighbourhood was aware that there had been deaths in that structure.
Isnt everything outside going haywire? It is said that Wu Guifeng was possessed by demonic spirits and cut out her own heart after slashing her daughter-in-law nurous tis and nearly dismbering her.
The security guards captain said adamantly: The door was shut, and the chamber is alleged to be bleeding. This person died in vain, hence she cannot be reborn. When she transforms into a ghost, she is waiting to be reborn.
This is total nonsense, Jiang He said to the trembling second guard. Its not like you havent seen the body. Whats the big deal about it? And what separates humans from other animals in essence? If they witness a caterpillar getting crushed on the road, most individuals will experience nausea rather than fear. Isnt this the carcass of a chicken on your table? How co youre not afraid?
Jiang He was perplexed why people werent frightened when seeing the carcasses of other animals; they may even want to drool.
However, the majority of people felt horrified when they encountered human corpses.
They were obviously living creatures in this world; so of them were even larger than humans.
You are right, but how co youre here now? You definitely dont reside here, the second guard stated to Jiang He.
I will live here from now on, declared Jiang He.
What?
The security captain wasnt certain what was going on.
I an, from today on, I will live in Li Weiyis house, which is also the ho of He Huijuan and Wu Guifeng, Jiang He explained.
You are you insane?
Hearing Jiang Hes words, the second guard answered, You dont understand. Elderly ladies in our culture regularly tell that it is possible for the soul of a person to return at any mont seven days after they die. It is more likely to transform into a ghost and co back to drag people if there is animosity. Are you sure about what you are attempting to do?
Based on my knowledge, the chance of there being no ghosts in this world is as high as 99.99%, and it is essentially assured that there are no ghosts, Jiang He said with a shake of his head. And if there are ghosts and spirits in the world, there is a 0.01% chance that there are ghosts and spirits in the previous life and the afterlife.
In other words, once soone dies, they will be granted another life, and it will continue to cycle back and forth. Ghosts will always be present. What is there to be terrified of? Jiang He gave the second guard a serious look.
Easy for you to say. But Im still afraid, said the second guard.
Jiang He was perplexed. In truth, the unknown was what pushed all creatures in the globe into dread. Fear will always be there until havent experienced it once, and it wont be altered by a few words from others.
The door lock is broken, so you can walk right in.
Li Weiyis neighbours moved away likewise out of fear, remarked the security captain. They didnt say when they would return after departing this afternoon. If youre looking into a case or whatever, you may enter straight away.
Jiang He said with a nod, I have two more requests for your assistance.
The security guard nodded before saying, Just speak up, comrade police officer, and well see what we can do. This person is no longer alive.
This is two hundred RMB, Jiang He responded, withdrawing two hundred RMB from his pocket. Youre now in charge of providing with als while Im staying at Li Weiyis ho. Im not a picky eater, so you can buy whatever you want.
While accepting the money, the security captain was also conscious that this police officer would be staying at Li Weiyis house for an extended period of ti.
The security captain nodded and asked, Would you like to drink so wine and smoke or sothing?
I dont smoke or drink, so just send three als a day with beverages, Jiang He said, waving his hand.
No worries.
You ntioned it to before; is it frequent to have thieves coming in here? Jiang He inquired.
The security captain nodded, explaining, There are significantly fewer thieves as a result of the work of our security team. According to estimates, hundreds of local families will suffer without us.
Does anyone have a record?
Jiang He inquired once more.
So are recorded, replied the security captain, nodding and shaking his head. We didnt record everything since so individuals contact the police when they lose sothing, so theres no purpose in maintaining duplicate data. You should be able to locate them at the nearest police station.
How many do you have here? Jiang He asked.
After turning around, the security guard removed a small box from the bottom of a bunk bed. He opened the small box and flipped it inside out before taking out a small book: Its written in this book. Its most likely seven or eight families.
Jiang He took out his notebook and examined the record.
The victims families were not in the sa building, and the floors were fairly dispersed, with one stolen on the sixth floor.
How did the thief manage to get to the sixth floor? asked Jiang He.
The security captain stated: Simply via the stairs. There arent many hos in the neighbourhood with anti-theft doors. If the door isnt secured with a simple lock, the thief can essentially open it. I also recomnd that everyone install an anti-theft door to ensure their safety. But the residents are all elderly, and who cares if they didnt steal it from their own door?
Jiang He exited the security room while perusing the record book.
The second guard pondered in his thoughts, How can such a brave person exist in the world? as he stared at Jiang Hes back and the progressively getting darker sky.
