The landlady's phone rang.

"Hello? Who is it this time?"

"Grandma, she's my tenant in room 403."

"What's wrong with you now?"

"Has Mr. Wang from apartment 603 moved away?"

"What Mr. Wang? She's just a young girl, can't you tell? I'm busy now, I have to talk to you."

The old woman hung up the phone, still muttering under her breath, "That 403 guy, he's such a handful, calling that girl surnamed Wang 'Mr. Wang' like that."

Mr. Wang? He Tiantian wondered to herself, could these two have done *that*?

"Grandma, we've arrived at the restaurant. Would you like to go back and eat first? We can chat again tomorrow."

The landlady glanced at her phone; it was already past six in the afternoon. "Okay, Xiao He, I'll go upstairs now."

He Tiantian smiled as she saw the old lady off. She had heard so much gossip today that it could fill a book.

Zhang Yunmei stared blankly downstairs. Why did the old woman call Mr. Wang "little girl"? But he clearly...

She shook her head, deciding that since she wasn't going to continue the relationship anyway, she might as well let him do as he pleased.

Shen Yizhou stood in the kitchen, cooking He Tiantian's favorite noodles with one hand. He had recovered very well these past few days.

If I go for another check-up tomorrow, we can determine when the stitches will be removed. I guess I'll have to wait until the next game to go to the hospital to have them removed.

He Tiantian quietly walked up behind him and exclaimed "Wow!" at him.

Shen Yizhou calmly turned to look at her, "He Tiantian, you're a bit childish."

"Hehehe, you weren't scared at all! You're amazing!"

He Tiantian helped bring the noodles to the table. She hadn't had them for several days and missed them so much.

"Mmm! It's so delicious, it tastes just like before~"

Stop being so talkative and start eating.

He Tiantian ate very quickly as always. Today, she offered to wash the dishes so that Shen Yizhou could free his hands.

Shen Yizhou agreed, since his hands couldn't be used too much anyway.

Tap, tap, tap.

He Tiantian was stunned when she heard the familiar sound of marbles coming from upstairs. There was no one upstairs, so where did the sound of marbles come from?

Her first thought was that Wang Lu had returned! She put down the washed dishes and tugged at Chen Yizhou's clothes.

He pointed to the ceiling, indicating that he should listen to the sounds coming from upstairs.

The sound of marbles seemed to have a magical power, enticing He Tiantian to go upstairs.

Shen Yizhou grabbed her, "Don't even think about going up there."

Only then did she realize that this was a trap, and going in would definitely mean certain death.

The sound of marbles stopped soon after, and then the sound of chairs being dragged upstairs, scraping against the floor, came from upstairs.

He Tiantian forced herself not to listen; once tonight was over, there would only be four days left.

When Shen Yizhou came out after taking a shower, He Tiantian was still watching TV, but her face was almost contorted with a smile. However, just to be on the safe side, he wouldn't let her go upstairs.

He took out his phone and ordered a serving of crayfish and two cups of lemon tea. He thought He Tiantian would be very happy to see this, and that way he wouldn't have time to think about these things.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Shen Yizhou was puzzled. Hadn't he just placed the order? Why was it delivered uncooked?

He looked through the peephole and saw Tang Hao from apartment 402. He opened the door and let him in.

Tang Hao plopped down next to He Tiantian. "Since we're not exactly strangers, I'll get straight to the point. Have you been to 504 before?"

He Tiantian's heart skipped a beat. Had they found out?

"Brother Hao, what do you mean by this?"

“Wang Lu from room 603 reported that you went to room 504 after the incident, but the old lady doesn’t have the habit of installing surveillance cameras, so I won’t draw any conclusions easily, which is why I chose to come and ask you.”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the cigarette pack on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it. Hmm, it still tastes the same!

“We’ve never been there. We only went up there that one night when the couple was arguing.”

"Hmph, Xiao Zhou, you're a smart one. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Don't go out these next few days unless it's absolutely necessary. The city is taking this case very seriously. The victim in the sewer was Li Rou's husband, Wu Xiong."

After saying this, Tang Hao took the Coke from the table and walked out of 404 without saying a word.

As soon as Shen Yizhou sat down, He Tiantian moved closer.

"Zhouzhou, is he trying to cover for us by saying this?"

"That's the idea, but not quite, because he can't find any evidence to prove we went there."

He Tiantian nodded thoughtfully.

She was right; the dead man was Wu Xiong, so the murderer was Wang Lu?

Tang Hao suddenly realized that the murderer might have returned to the scene of the murder. He tried to go to room 504. He had already asked the old lady for the key. He opened the door and went in. A musty smell hit him, and there were drag marks on the floor.

He crouched down to look at the marks on the floor when suddenly a knife lunged at him. Wang Lu rushed out wearing a raincoat, and he saw that it was Tang Hao who had arrived!

Slightly shocked, he then became even more ruthless, holding a hammer in his other hand, which he smashed into Tang Hao's instep.

Tang Hao rolled on the floor in pain, and his cries attracted He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou.

"It's Tang Hao! It sounds like he's coming from upstairs?"

Shen Yizhou listened carefully and heard not only shouts but also chaotic footsteps upstairs. The old woman heard them too, but she didn't dare to go down. She could only stay at home, clasping her hands together and chanting "Namo Amitabha Buddha" to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
