Qiao Yan bought four big buns from a small stall, two for breakfast and two for lunch.
On the way back carrying the buns, she looked back from time to time to make sure no one was following her, and then she laughed to herself, thinking that she was scared last night.
After entering the community, she walked to the left of the residential building and saw the bulletin board on the wall. There were pieces of white and red paper pasted on it, some of which had turned yellow and curled.
The content is quite diverse, ranging from shop rentals and employee recruitment to announcements of a happy family event or notices of power and water outages.
In the pile of papers, Qiao Yan searched for a long time before finding a white piece of paper with a reminder title written on it.
"Reminder: Recently, some residents have reported seeing a suspicious individual wearing black clothes and pants, a black hat, and a mask in the community several times. Residents are advised to be vigilant and pay attention to personal and property safety."
When Qiao Yan read out the contents of the paper, she knew! The dark shadow she saw last night was not an illusion at all. It must be the suspicious person mentioned in the paper!
She scratched her hand, which felt numb for a moment, and made sure that she had not missed any other notifications before returning home.
Just as she opened the door, a person came out of the room at the other end of the stairs.

"Hello." The other party didn't notice her, so Qiao Yan took the initiative to say hello.

"I'm a new resident. My name is Ziyi and I live in 402."
"Ah, the new resident of 402? I heard about it." The woman suddenly looked enlightened. "My name is Chen Meng. I live in 404 with my boyfriend, but he has already left for work. Otherwise, I would definitely introduce you to each other."
"It's okay." Qiao Yan smiled and shook her head: "Are you going to take out the trash?"
"Yes, since I don't have to go to work, I'll just do my best to do all the housework." Chen Meng smiled, glanced downstairs, and then said nervously, "I saw the garbage truck. I have to get down quickly. I don't want my garbage to be left there until tomorrow morning. It would be so embarrassing."
