Chapter 100 [(*^▽^*)]

The model is made of steel plates, so could it correspond to the most frequently dropped mechanical cards after a demon is killed? Therefore, this model...

I can't be 100% sure it's the same item I'm looking for, but it's definitely related. "Where did it get thrown, Captain? Do you know?"

The captain shook his head, but then nodded. "It looks like it was thrown out of the gate where the trash cans are, over there, did you see it?"

He pointed to the area outside the community gate, shrouded in mist.

Outside the gate of the residential area is a main road with several large trash cans placed on the side, but he can only see half of one of the trash cans now, the rest is shrouded in fog.

There is no model to be seen at all.

Captain, "It's covered in fog, but it's definitely still over there. Why are you asking this?"

Lin Leyou said, "I didn't do anything, I just asked..."

The captain didn't pursue the matter, saying, "Whatever..."

Lin Leyou blinked. "Then... Captain, how long have you been staying in this neighborhood?"

Captain, "It's been several years, hasn't it? What happened?"

Lin Leyou said, "I just wanted to ask if you know anyone in the neighborhood who likes...maybe they're obsessed, they're really obsessed with mechanical things."

The captain fell into deep thought. "Mechanics? Obsessed with mechanics?"

Lin Leyou did not interrupt, but waited for him to finish thinking.

After thinking it over, the captain actually remembered something. "Oh... if you hadn't asked, I would never have thought of this. Of course there are people who are obsessed with mechanics."

Lin Leyou was somewhat excited; he had finally found a clue. At first, he had no idea that the security captain of this residential complex was the crucial NPC who held so many clues. If a player wanted to complete the quest…

Raising favor with this security captain is a necessary task.

“You’ve been patrolling the neighborhood these past few days, so you must have seen his family. And didn’t you chase away a man who was causing trouble in the neighborhood before?”

Lin Leyou thought of the mother and daughter, Fan Qing and Liu Wenwen, and wondered if he was one of them.

Captain, "He was Ms. Fan's husband who passed away not long ago."

"This person is extremely obsessed with machinery. It is said that he used to work in a machine factory, but later changed jobs. Oh, by the way, the statue you asked about earlier that was discarded and pieced together from steel plates was also made by him. Because it was very well made, it was allowed to be placed in the community."

Lin Leyou is pretty sure that Fan Qing's deceased husband is the evil boss in this neighborhood. His next task is to move the statue back to its original position.

In this way, the dungeon can return to normal, and the evil boss will be back under control. I wonder if the difficulty of the dungeon will be reduced at that time.

Lin Leyou checked Fan Qing's husband's basic information, but of course, she could only check the registered information; she couldn't find anything else.

Speaking of which, it seems that Fan Qing's biological mother is still living in her house. He wonders how she is doing now; he'll go check on her later.

Fan Qing's husband, Liu Rongping, was in his thirties when he died. He was not old at all, but rather very young and handsome. The photos of him with a smile on his face show him to be both composed and approachable.

He looked for a while but had no recollection of the person. But then he thought about it and realized that the person had already died when he arrived in the neighborhood.

Lin Leyou memorized Liu Rongping's information and headed towards Building 1. Only then did he recall the malicious gaze he had received when passing by Building 1 the previous night.

He knew it couldn't possibly be just his imagination; the sight of that malicious gaze on Building 1 only confirmed his suspicions.

Moreover, he now wanted to verify his guess. If this evil BOSS was the reincarnation of Liu Rongping after his death, then he would definitely hate Fan Qing's family members who appeared at his home and wanted to seize the house. He might even take action against these NPCs.

He arrived at the door of room 102 in unit 2.

Looking at the unremarkable door, Lin Leyou reached out and knocked. Sure enough, there was no sound from inside. After waiting for a while, there was still no sound.

Lin Leyou frowned slightly. Fan Qing was currently unemployed, so she was definitely at home with her daughter and mother.

Have they all gone out? Where have they gone?

The entire community is currently under lockdown. Although NPCs leaving through the community gates may not be torn apart by the evil spirits outside, they certainly can't actually go out and do anything.

He knocked on the door again, and this time he heard some faint sounds coming from inside, but still no one spoke.

He stood at the door, carefully holding the stun gun in his hand, and knocked on the door again.

This time, finally someone spoke up; it was the voice of an elderly woman.

Who's outside?

The voice sounded normal, and the tone was calm. Logically, it should be Fan Qing's mother speaking, but he had heard Fan Qing arguing with his mother before.

The sharp, arguing voices were so vivid in his memory that the sudden calmness of the voices made it difficult for him to associate the two voices with one person.

"Hello, I'm the security guard of the community. Could you please open the door?"

No one spoke inside again. Just to be safe, Lin Leyou took a step back and subconsciously glanced behind him and at the ceiling a few times. Only after confirming that there was nothing unusual around him did he continue to wait in the same spot.

The silence lasted for about three more minutes before he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He looked over and saw a familiar figure.

Fan Qing walked in from outside, holding Liu Wenwen's hand. She was carrying groceries in her other hand. Had she gone out to buy groceries this morning?

The mother and daughter were quite surprised to see Lin Leyou. "Oh, it's you?"

Lin Leyou did not let her guard down and kept a certain distance from them. Although she could not be attacked during working hours, she could not defend against actions that were not considered attacks.

However, his voice remained calm, leaving no room for suspicion. "Yes, I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you. Has anything happened at home lately?"

Liu Wenwen walked to his side. "Brother, are you worried that we'll do something bad?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "I am indeed quite worried, but you are a good child. I am not worried about whether you will do bad things, but whether you will be bullied."

Liu Wenwen blinked, "Ah... Brother, you're so kind!"

His gaze shifted to Fan Qing. "Ms. Fan?"

Fan Qing was taken aback. "Huh?"

She then realized what he meant, "Oh! You mean about my mom?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "Yes, although she is your relative, some of her actions have caused some trouble for other residents in the community. As a security guard, I still have an obligation to ask her about it."

Fan Qing sighed, "I haven't argued with her these past two days, but she's determined to make me give up the house, or she'll stay here and not leave."

Lin Leyou, "Then what are you going to do?"

Fan Qing said, "Since she doesn't want to leave, then I'll let her help me take care of the child while I go to work during the day! I'm a little anxious because I have no income right now."

Lin Leyou: "This is a good thing, and your daughter also needs to go to school and doesn't need to stay at home all day. However, if the elderly want to, it's still easy to find an opportunity. How do you plan to prevent it?"

Or is it that there's no need for prevention?

Fan Qing: "Prevent what? No matter how fierce my mother is, she can't possibly kill my daughter, right? Anyway, I'm determined not to give up the house."

Lin Leyou focused his gaze on Liu Wenwen's tattoo, and Liu Wenwen gave him a big smile after noticing it.

Fan Qing seems to treat the child very well, but in reality, he doesn't really care... as long as the child doesn't die.

Fan Qing opened his front door and looked inside. He really did see the old lady. She looked energetic and seemed normal. Maybe her previous silence wasn't what he thought.

Liu Wenwen tugged at Lin Leyou's hand and shook it, "Brother, would you like to come in and sit down?"

Lin Leyou narrowed her eyes. "My brother is still on duty and can't go in."

Liu Wenwen looked very disappointed, as if he had done something terribly wrong, but he didn't intend to go along with Liu Wenwen's wishes. Instead, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he asked, "Wenwen, do you have any playmates in the neighborhood?"

Without hesitation, Liu Wenwen replied, "Yes, Liu Liu is my good friend, we've always been together..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fan Qing shouted sharply, "Wenwen, what are you still doing outside? Come home right now!"

Liu Wenwen seemed very reluctant. Lin Leyou blinked and said, "Ms. Fan, the child is not in school during the day, and can't be kept at home 24 hours a day. Why don't you let her go play with Liu Liu? Anyway, Ms. Zhou is at work, and Liu Liu is alone at home."

Fan Qing's lips twitched, clearly indicating her opposition, but she ultimately didn't refuse, "In that case, then..."

Lin Leyou said, "Speaking of which, since Ms. Zhou isn't home, it's not safe for Liu Liu to be home alone. How about I go and bring Liu Liu over?"

Fan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Liu Wenwen immediately said, "Then I want to go with my brother to pick up Liu Liu!"

This time, Fan Qing didn't refuse. "Go ahead, go ahead, they're all debt collectors!"

Lin Leyou then led Liu Wenwen toward Zhou Keke's home. Zhou Keke's home was in Building 3, and there weren't many people in the neighborhood as they walked.

Perhaps because her mother and grandmother were not around, Liu Wenwen seemed much more lively.

Lin Leyou wanted to give it a try...

"Wenwen?"

Liu Wenwen: "Huh? What's wrong, brother?"

Lin Leyou thought for a moment about how she should ask, "Wenwen, you know about your brother's job, right?"

Liu Wenwen nodded sensibly, "I know, I know, my brother catches bad guys in the neighborhood!"

Lin Leyou: "Yes, Wenwen, have you seen any bad guys in the neighborhood?"

Liu Wenwen nodded firmly, "Yes... I saw it!"
