Chapter 29: The Haunted Apartment (Revised)
Gifts
Just as Muan Jiaxi was trying his best to explain to Amuro Toru in the house, asking him not to misunderstand.
In a residential building across the street, two pairs of eyes were observing all this. In broad daylight, the curtains were unusually drawn, leaving only a slit. Sunlight shone through the slit onto the floor. The room was unlit, and in a dark corner, two people were hiding behind the curtains, furtively watching across from them.
At this time, a voice rang out, "Officer Kazama, didn't Mr. Furuya tell us to be careful with this woman? Logically, she's a suspect and shouldn't have much contact with her. Why is he helping her move and cooking? It feels like..."
Hearing this, Yuya Kazama frowned and interrupted him, "Don't talk about Mr. Furuya casually."
The man immediately shut up and said nothing, but after a few seconds, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said in surprise with an expression as if he had discovered a secret, "Oh, I know!"
Yuya Kazama was also attracted by him and turned to look at him, also very curious about what he knew.
The man, with a mysterious look on his face, whispered in Kazama Yuya's ear, "I know. Mr. Furuya is trying to use his beauty to lure the woman in and then trick her into talking."
Then he walked aside, chin in thought, and said seriously and firmly, "Yes, that's right. That's right, Mr. Kouya wanted to use this trick. Why didn't we think of it? Otherwise, we could save a lot of trouble. Why would we have to keep an eye on her all day? Mr. Kouya really is Mr. Kouya. He can come up with such a good trick. I admire him."
Yuya Kazama, who was standing by, first glanced at the residential building opposite, then looked at the man who was muttering to himself. His expression was serious, but he didn't scold him anymore. Instead, he gradually began to think.
But within a few seconds, Kazama Yuya put on his serious face again, thinking that it was really not right for them to talk about their boss in private, and quickly interrupted him, "Alright, don't talk about Mr. Furuya casually. He has his reasons for doing so. We just need to keep an eye on that woman."
In the room far away, Mu'an Jiaxi faced Amuro Toru with some embarrassment. He was obviously just giving him a gift to thank him, but his mouth made things more and more confusing. The more he spoke, the more embarrassed he became. Now he was in a dilemma as to whether to give it or not.
It's really a dilemma. If I give it to him, after introducing it like that just now, if you still give it to him, it would be like blatantly saying that he is not smart enough and should play more high-IQ Lego to exercise his brain.
Don't give it to me. You clearly said it out loud. It's a gift for someone else. It's a bit inappropriate for you to take it back.
Mu An Jiaxi really wanted to slap himself to death. If you said you were going to give it to me, then just give it to me. Why bother introducing something so much? It's like you're showing off your abilities. Others, without two eyes, wouldn't know what it is. Now the atmosphere is incredibly awkward. Even the North Pole isn't as cold as here.
Finally, it was Toru Amuro who broke the deadlock and took the gift back from her hand. "This gift is very good. I like it very much. I just need this to improve my IQ."
The words were spoken gently, but the tone sounded like gnashing of teeth.
Just as he was about to take it away, Mu'an Jiaxi grabbed the edge of the bag with a strong desire to survive and said, "I'd better change it for you. I have others in my room." Without waiting for his consent, she pulled the bag into the box and moved it to the coffee table in the living room. Within a minute, she moved out another box of gift boxes.
It said adult diapers, extra large size. The moment he saw the words, Toru Amuro opened his mouth without thinking and tried to stop her, but she was not quick enough. She took out a book from the box and put it in front of him.
The moment he saw the book, Toru Amuro breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the picture did not match the object.
Muan Jiaxi handed him the book. "Mr. Amuro, look, I bought these books recently. The covers are still on. I think they'll be very useful, especially for you."
Upon hearing this, Toru Amuro began to have a bad premonition again. He flipped through the books in his hands, which were all books teaching some home cooking.
Toru Amuro also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to flip through the pages. He soon regretted it. He should have stopped in time. Why did he continue to read out of curiosity?
He flipped through the pages, and the titles of the books that came out were completely different. Each one was more outrageous and bizarre than the last: "How to Use Your Brain," "Teach You How to Become a Beauty," "Distinguishing a Fool from a Normal Person in One Second," "You Look Normal, But You're Actually Psychotic," "Are You Paralyzed Today?", "The Difference Between Men," "One Trick to Teach You How to Scam a Porcelain Person," and "How a Man Can Become a Woman."
Mu An Jiaxi, completely unaware of the situation, squatted down and flipped through the books in the box. As he flipped through the books, he said, "Isn't it suitable for you? After knowing you for so long, I feel that these books are particularly suitable for you. They are simply tailor-made for you."
Amuro Toru looked at a woman squatting on the ground with some uncertainty and asked, "Are you sure you are suitable for me?"
"Sure, there's nothing to be uncertain about. I'm telling you, I've known you for a long time and I have a basic understanding of your hobbies and personality. If you have time to research it more, you'll probably like it."
"Really!"
"Really, it really suits you. It's practically tailor-made for you..." She stood up and took the book from his hand, wanting to introduce it in detail. But when she saw it, she was stunned. What! What is this?
She almost lost her grip on the book and dropped it to the ground. Looking up at Amuro Toru, Muan Jiaxi laughed awkwardly at first, "Haha, well, it's all a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"
"Ms. Mu'an, do I give you the impression that I'm not smart?"
"No, no, how could that be? This is a complete misunderstanding. I really don't know how these books got here. Maybe the movers mixed them up. What I wanted to give you were the recipes. I saw that you're a good cook, so I wanted to give you a few cookbooks. These aren't what I wanted to give you."
Amuro Toru was not a person who cared much. He took the cooking books from her and said, "Thank you, Miss Mu'an. I like them very much. Don't bother anymore. Let's eat quickly. The food is getting cold."
Then he took the recipe into the kitchen.
Mu'an Jiaxi also breathed a sigh of relief after he left. He looked at the book in his hand and slapped his forehead in annoyance: What the hell am I doing? How did this book get here? It must have been done by those movers.
Mu'an Jiaxi peeked into the kitchen and felt relieved when he saw that Amuro Toru didn't look unhappy.
After the two of them finished their meal and she sent Amuro Toru away, Muan Jiaxi closed the door, drew the curtains, and carefully checked the room, trying not to make any noise. She checked every corner carefully, but did not find any eavesdropping devices or other things installed. Even the eavesdropping device under the coffee table was taken away at some point, no one knew.
Mu'an Jiaxi sat on the sofa and wondered whether he hadn't found it or he hadn't really installed it. In any case, he would be more careful next time.
Outside the residential complex, in a small alley, Toru Amuro was talking on his cell phone. "The bug has been taken back. From now on, we must keep an eye on her phone. Whenever a number calls her, we need to check it. We can't relax our surveillance. Report any where she goes at any time."
Feng Jianyu on the other end of the phone said very respectfully: "Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro looked outside vigilantly, then walked out and slowly walked away.
The next day, Mu'an Jiaxi took the prepared things and went to find the real estate agent to list her house for sale. When she came out, she received a call, "Hello."
A hoarse male voice came from the other side, "Buy a newspaper."
Mu An Jiaxi's expression changed instantly. He looked at the busy street and quickly walked forward, smiling as he walked, "Hey, it's you. Why are you calling? Oh, you want to borrow a book? Wait a minute, I'll get it for you when I get home."
She pretended to have a conversation, and the man on the other end of the phone understood immediately and didn't say anything. After a few seconds, she suddenly changed her tone, "You know the rules, right? I've been under a lot of scrutiny lately. Checking for information for you requires a bit of risk, so I'm tripling the price."
The man was very surprised and said, "Three times, why don't you just go and rob it!"
Mu An Jiaxi's tone remained unchanged, "The price will be tripled, so it doesn't matter whether I do this deal or not."
After a few seconds of silence, the other party seemed to have made up their minds. "Three times is three times, the news must be authentic."
"You know my reputation in the underworld. If you don't trust me, you don't have to cooperate."
The man hesitated for a second, and finally asked the question he wanted to know, "I want to know..."
"Tomorrow afternoon at one, by the harbor bridge."
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
Mu An Jiaxi hung up the phone, and then another phone received a text message. She took out her phone, opened the message, and there were only a few short lines of words: The plan begins.
Then she quickly deleted the text message, put her phone back in her pocket, squatted down and pretended to tie her shoelaces, while looking outside vigilantly. Seeing nothing unusual, she walked out of the dark and narrow path and turned into the supermarket next to her.
The author has something to say:
Mu'an Jiaxi: I said it wasn't intentional, do you believe me?
A dark-skinned detective: Look at me →_→believe it or not.
Mu'an Jiaxi: If you don't believe it, forget it!
A dark-skinned detective: …………
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
