Feng Chenlu: "Mr. and Mrs. Zhou have invited officials to investigate. You need to come downstairs with me."
"Okay." Jiang Fei did not let Lu Yu and the others go with him, and followed Feng Chenlu to the 21st floor.
The door of room 2101 was wide open.
Standing at the door were a man and a woman, both in their early thirties.
On the opposite side was a soldier in a rescue suit, who was invited by Xiao Zhou and his wife to uphold justice while on patrol.
Old Mrs. Xu was standing next to Xiao Zhou and his wife, and she raised her voice anxiously: "I have told you and your wife many times that Lily has not left the house for more than half a month. I am worried about her safety, so I asked Jiang Yatou to help me cut the door lock of 2101."
"Lily starved to death. If you don't believe me, you can look at the garbage in the house. We didn't move anything. The body was still on the bed in the bedroom."
Mother Zhou didn't listen to Mrs. Xu's explanation at all. She cried and grabbed the soldier's hand: "Comrade, you have to do it for us!"
"We left a lot of food and money for our daughter, but now they are all gone. This old lady and Jiang Fei from the 22nd floor must have taken them!"
"They robbed my house and killed my poor daughter! They even let bugs and rats eat her body! They are such beasts!"
Father Zhou pulled Mother Zhou into his arms and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, Comrade will make things right for us. Ask Old Lady Xu and Jiang Fei to return the food and money to us."
The two men's eyes were full of calculation.
They had managed to escape here from another place with great difficulty, and had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to sell their house and use the money to take refuge in their hometown. However, they found out that their daughter had starved to death at home, and her body had become smelly and rotten.
Knowing that Old Lady Xu and Jiang Fei had been here, they took the opportunity to blame their daughter's death on them and tried to extort money and food.
Anyway, their daughter is a money-loser, so they will have less worries if she dies.
Seeing Feng Chenlu and Jiang Fei coming over, Zhou's mother grabbed the soldier's arm and said, "Comrade! She is the murderer!"
Soldier: "Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, please be careful with your words."
"Comrade Jiang, have you ever broken the door lock of Room 2101?"
"Yes, because Grandma Xu asked me for help and wanted to check on Zhou Lili. When we went in, she was already dead."
Jiang Fei answered calmly, looking at Xiao Zhou and his wife: "You said I robbed the house, then tell me, what did I steal?"
Zhou's mother opened her mouth and said, "20,000 yuan in cash, a box of jewelry and rings, a bag of rice, and a lot of instant noodles and sausages."
Father Zhou: "It's been so long, you've already finished the food, and you've almost spent all the money, but I made sure you hid the jewelry."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou deliberately did not tell the material of the jewelry, just so that they could take whatever they saw when they went to Jiang Fei's house later.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Fei proposed a search.
"Comrade, you can go to my house and search to see if there is anything like what Mr. and Mrs. Zhou said. Then ask someone to do an autopsy to determine the cause of Zhou Lili's death."
"If I killed her, Zhou Lili's body would have external injuries other than those caused by insects and rats."
"Even if the corpse is decayed, useful clues can be found."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhou and his wife panicked. Before they could figure out how to refuse the autopsy, Xu Qianyao arrived.
Old Madam Xu seemed to have found her backbone and pulled Xu Qianyao over: "Qianyao, they slandered me and Jiang girl."
Xu Qianyao asked the soldier: "What happened?"
The soldier told him what had happened.
Looking at the reactions of Xiao Zhou and his wife, they looked uneasy, as if they had done something wrong. Xu Qianyao knew what was going on: "We will not let any bad guy go, nor will we wrongly accuse a good person."
"Since you insist that they are the murderers and they say they didn't do it, then ask someone to perform an autopsy."
"But I have something to remind you. Lincheng is in a special period right now. Everyone is working together to fight the disaster. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will definitely not be let off by the authorities."
As he spoke, Xu Qianyao showed his ID.
Xiao Zhou and his wife were completely scared.
They just want to blackmail people and don't want to make a big deal and get caught.
Zhou's mother forced a smile: "I think we must have misunderstood. My daughter has suffered so much before, let her rest in peace. This matter ends here. Sorry to bother you two comrades, we will go and bury our daughter..."
"Wait."
Jiang Fei stopped Xiao Zhou and his wife who wanted to run away: "Can a misunderstanding erase the trauma you brought to me and Grandma Xu?"
"This incident has ruined our reputation and left us with a huge shadow. Grandma Xu was almost driven sick by you guys."
Old Mrs. Xu immediately covered her chest: "Oh my heart..."
Mother Zhou gritted her teeth: "So what do you want?"
"Apology and compensation. The compensation doesn't have to be much, just according to what you just said."
Zhou's father was not happy: "You are blackmailing me!"
Jiang Fei immediately stood behind Xu Qianyao and pretended to be weak: "He wants to hit me!"
"I didn't!" Father Zhou quickly put down his hand that was pointing at Jiang Fei.
In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou bowed to Jiang Fei and Old Lady Xu to apologize, and made compensation based on the existing supplies.
With official people present, Jiang Fei couldn't ask for too much. She only asked for 10 packets of instant noodles and 6 bags of bread, half each for her and Old Lady Xu.
One third of the supplies that Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had brought with great effort were gone.
The two men stole the chicken but ended up losing the rice. After giving the things, they hid away and closed the door tightly, fearing that Jiang Fei, the bandit, would never stop.
"Captain Xu, I'll leave first."
"Wait." Feng Chenlu suddenly stopped the soldier:
"I suspect 2202 has guns and flamethrowers. Comrade, please help me deal with it."
She heard it from other survivors.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she had to consider the safety of the people in the building.
When it comes to guns, the soldier becomes serious: “Comrade Jiang, can you take me to 2202?”
Xu Qianyao frowned and was about to ask for the search mission.
Jiang Fei nodded generously: "Okay."
Xu Qianyao was confused.
Miss Jiang doesn’t want to live anymore???
Worried that something might happen to Jiang Fei, Xu Qianyao followed them to the 22nd floor.
Lu Yu and others also came out from 2203 and stood on the corridor.
Jiang Fei opened the door of room 2202 and let the soldiers in to search.
All her supplies and dangerous goods were in the supermarket warehouse, and there was only a dagger in her bedroom, so she was not afraid of a search.
If a soldier went to a teammate's house, she would also have a way to get in early and hide Wu Xi.
However, Lu Yu didn't know Jiang Fei's plan and quietly clenched his fists.
His house is full of dangerous goods and there is no place to hide them.
Fortunately, the soldiers only checked 2202.
Although they were surprised by the warm wind from 2202, they did not find any dangerous goods, so the soldiers said goodbye to Xu Qianyao.
Feng Chenlu looked at Jiang Fei apologetically: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"I thought the people downstairs were telling the truth when they said you had a gun."
"It's okay." Jiang Fei accepted Feng Chenlu's apology without changing his expression, and said seriously:
"We often go out to look for supplies, which inevitably attracts jealous people."
No matter what, they are just jealous and envious of me and spread rumors about me.
Feng Chenlu was even more embarrassed: "The government sent cotton clothes today and asked the community to distribute them to everyone. Quilts will be sent in a few days."
"Don't go downstairs, I'll bring it up for you."
Jiang Fei rejected Feng Chenlu's kindness: "We all have cotton-padded clothes, let's give them to those in need."
"When there are quilts available, we'll go down and get them."
Hearing this, Feng Chenlu had no choice but to give up and went downstairs.
Without outsiders around, Xu Qianyao asked curiously, "Where did you hide your guns?"
Jiang Fei looked confused: "What gun?"
"Captain Xu, don't talk nonsense."
Who knows if he is stinging?
Xu Qianyao didn't believe Jiang Fei at all, but he didn't ask any more questions. He changed the subject: "Does Lin Bo's matter have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Fei:?
Lu Yu, who was standing at the end, turned his head away silently.
