Chapter 56 needs to be dealt with cleanly.

The system alarm sounded coldly and urgently in my mind, echoing the words I had just heard!

Su Xiaonuan's heart suddenly tightened, and all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her head, making her dizzy for a moment.

But her strong mental fortitude and enhanced nervous system allowed her to quickly calm down.

She remained expressionless, even deliberately slowing her breathing, as if she were simply taking a break after throwing away the trash.

But the ears are like the most sensitive radar, working hard to capture the source of the sound.

The sound was intermittent, but very clear.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping quickly across the doors on the fifth floor like a scanner.

Finally, her gaze settled on the door directly opposite the stairwell.

The sound was coming from there!

The people inside continued talking, their tone growing increasingly anxious:

"Then... what do we do now?! We can't just wait for the police to come knocking on our door, can we?!"

"What's the panic! Calm down! We have to...we have to do something...we can't let them know he killed someone...we have to clean up the mess..."

"How should we handle this? You tell me!"

"...The only option is...the only option is to separate them...throw them far away...find a secluded place..."

Upon hearing the word "separate," and combined with the system prompt "assist in handling the corpse," Su Xiaonuan's pupils contracted slightly.

She forced herself to keep a calm expression, and even deliberately bent down to tie her shoelaces as a cover to prolong her stay and continue eavesdropping.

She quickly looked up and confirmed the room number—0501.

Make this number etched into your mind.

At this moment, the conversation inside the door stopped, and was replaced by rustling sounds, the dragging of heavy objects, and suppressed breathing.

Su Xiaonuan knew they might be about to take action.

She could no longer linger at the doorway.

She immediately straightened up, pretending to be nonchalant, and turned to walk upstairs at a leisurely pace.

But instead of going home, she nimbly slipped away and hid in the shadows at the corner of the stairs leading from the sixth to the seventh floor.

The view from here is secluded, yet one can clearly observe the activity at the entrance of room 0501 on the fifth floor through the gaps in the stair railing.

She held her breath and pressed her body tightly against the cold wall, like a lurking cheetah.

The wait wasn't long; about five or six minutes later, the door to room 0501 made a soft "click" sound as it was carefully opened from the inside.

Two men peeked out one after the other, glancing warily to their left and right.

Both men were tall and burly, dressed in dark, ill-fitting old clothes. One had a buzz cut, while the other had long hair tied back. Both had obvious tension and panic on their faces, and their eyes were darting around.

After confirming that there seemed to be no one in the hallway, the two retreated back into the house.

Immediately afterwards, they worked together to lift out a long, bulging, and unusually heavy object wrapped in a thick, large black garbage bag!

Just as they were carrying the bag past the stairwell and preparing to go down, a breeze blew by, and a very faint but unusually clear smell of blood, mixed with the plastic smell of the garbage bag itself, suddenly entered Su Xiaonuan's nostrils!

Su Xiaonuan narrowed her eyes, her gaze instantly turning cold and sharp.

Sure enough! The bag contained the victim!

She quickly and silently switched her phone to video recording mode, and using the gaps in the stairs as cover, she clearly filmed the entire process of the two men carrying the black bag and looking flustered as they went downstairs, including their faces and clothing features.

Watching them disappear around the corner of the stairs on the next floor, Su Xiaonuan didn't immediately follow.

She waited patiently for a few seconds, making sure they didn't turn back or notice anything unusual, before she quietly and quickly went downstairs like a ghost.

She didn't go downstairs empty-handed; instead, she picked up a small bag of ordinary trash that she had left at her doorstep, which she had originally intended to throw away a second time, as a perfect disguise.

She maintained a safe distance and followed her downstairs with light and quick steps.

Coincidentally, perhaps the bag was too heavy, and the two men did not walk very fast; or perhaps Su Xiaonuan's enhanced gait control was excellent, and the two men, one in front of the other, maintained a strange synchronization in their descent downstairs, never falling too far apart nor getting too close.

This unspoken understanding allowed Su Xiaonuan to clearly hear their heavy footsteps and suppressed breathing, yet she remained undetected.

They walked in silence, the only sound the echoes of footsteps in the empty stairwell, the atmosphere so tense it felt like you could wring water out of it.

Soon, I followed them down to the first floor.

Su Xiaonuan hid in the shadows inside the building entrance, watching the two men carry the creepy bag and walk quickly toward a black sedan parked by the roadside.

License plate number: 76L9K.

Su Xiaonuan's eyes were sharp as a hawk's. She quickly jotted down the key information in her phone's notes app, and then raised her phone again to take a picture of the car's overall appearance and a clear close-up of its license plate from a distance.

After doing all this, she watched the black sedan start its engine, quickly drive away, merge into the traffic on the street, and soon disappear from sight.

She then slowly walked out from behind the building entrance, her face expressionless. She simply threw the bag of trash she was using as cover into the roadside trash can.

Then, she took out her phone, opened the small group chat for four people, and quickly sent out the video, photos, and concise text description she had just taken:

"Urgent report! Two men (as pictured) are suspected of murder and dismemberment in apartment 0501 of building A. They are about to move the body. They just carried a large black bag downstairs, and there is a smell of blood. They have already driven away in a black sedan with license plate 76L9K. I was at the entrance of the community and saw them heading east. I have video evidence."

She sent the message, holding her phone, waiting for a response.

She knew that Zhao Liming was most likely still carrying out his operation at the chemical plant in the western suburbs, Xu Zhixian was finishing up the online dating fraud case, and Lu Zheng seemed to be entangled in the tricky robbery case in the west of the city.

Sure enough, Qin Haoran replied a few seconds later.

"Holy crap?! In broad daylight?! Little cook, are you alright?! Send me the location! I'll bring people over right away! Don't follow me anymore! It's too dangerous! Go back to your house and lock the door!" Qin Haoran's reply was filled with shock and an undeniable urgency.

Seeing that Qin Haoran had taken on the case, Su Xiaonuan's tense nerves relaxed a little.

She immediately sent her real-time location.

"I'm fine, I've stopped following. Hurry up, hopefully we can catch up," she replied.

After doing all this, she looked up in the direction where the black sedan had disappeared. To the east was the direction leading to the suburbs and the ring expressway, where there were more secluded and easy places to dump bodies.
