Chapter 85 Dangerous Person "He, he didn't do anything to you, did he? ...
He didn't dare to say any more.
Mr. Bo's face turned extremely pale, as if he was thinking of something. He took out a business card from his briefcase and stuffed it into Cecilia's hand.
"In any case, you'd better be careful. If you really encounter danger, you can call this number."
"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."
Faced with the other party's reluctant look, Cecilia turned and walked out, still holding Jia Dabing, whose legs had become weak.
When they crossed the lawn and returned to their room, the teddy bear couldn't wait to stick its head out and angrily accused her: "Xia, I told you, you shouldn't be the first one to find him!"
"You've tried so hard to flatter him, to praise him to the skies, and it took you three hours! We've wasted so much time, and he still doesn't want to come to the party! That's too much!"
The little guy put his hands on his hips angrily, wishing he could rush back and point at the other person's nose and curse.
"This is the first day. Invitation is not the purpose."
As she responded, she dug out a blank notebook from her bedroom, wrote down all the information and intelligence she had gathered, and put her business card in the notebook.
"At least, we know there is a murderer here."
As she spoke, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was looking forward to what was to come.
"Isn't this worse..."
The teddy bear muttered quietly, puzzled by her excitement, "Who knows if that guy is telling the truth."
After organizing her notes, Cecilia placed the notebook on the desk, pulled Jia Dabing, who was curled up in the corner, and walked towards the living room.
"Invite Ms. Wen next."
She looked up at the digital clock and said, "It's five o'clock. I wonder if she has finished her performance?"
As soon as I opened the wooden door, I saw a flower garden in front of me. The different varieties of flowers were well taken care of by the owner, and the bright and delicate flowers competed with each other for beauty.
"Xia, look at these flowers. This is enough to prove that she is a gentle and kind person!"
A mixed aroma filled the air, and the teddy bear's affection for Ms. Wen deepened. It kept sniffing the air, sighing that its vision was correct.
"If we had come to Ms. Wen at the beginning, we would have gotten her consent long ago, and it wouldn't have taken so long!"
Cecia went straight to knock on the door, but walked into the white mist on both sides. In less than two seconds, she returned to her original position.
She tried to stick just her head into the white fog. This time she was not teleported back, but she could only see the white fog and could not get any more clues.
It seems that the white fog here is the same as that at Mr. Bo's place. There is such fog at the door of every neighbor... Is it to prevent them from running away?
"Come on, go knock on the door."
Under the influence of the flower fragrance, Jia Dabing, who was originally nervous, also relaxed a lot. He dragged his tired body and followed Cecilia's instructions to knock on the door.
"Who?"
A gentle voice came from inside the house, and a lady who looked to be in her thirties or forties opened the door.
Perhaps she had not had time to change her clothes after the performance, so she was wearing an elegant black dress with dignified makeup on her face. Although there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, it still could not conceal her temperament.
There is no doubt that this is Ms. Wen.
"I remember you. You're the new neighbor. We've met before."
Unlike the cold Mr. Bo, she was gentle, as if she was treating a good junior. "Sorry, my room is a bit messy, so I won't invite you to come in and sit down."
To express her apology, she took out a brown paper bag from inside the house.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't have time to prepare anything in advance. This is Katie's fruit candy, it tastes pretty good. I queued for two hours this afternoon to buy it, I'll give it to you as a gift."
"You are very kind."
Cecilia tried to refuse, but took the bag without hesitation, while observing the other party's reaction.
But Ms. Wen looked calm and didn't seem dissatisfied with her behavior at all.
Is it because he has a good temper and doesn't know how to say no, or is there something else going on?
Unable to figure out the other party's thoughts, she simply made an invitation directly -
"If you don't mind, can you come to my house for the party tonight at nine o'clock?"
"Thank you for your invitation. It's my honor." Ms. Wen responded with a gentle smile, "I don't think I have any plans tonight. I will definitely visit you if I have time."
"You are worthy of being the sister I have high hopes for! If it were me, you should have come directly to Sister Wen!"
The teddy bear hidden in her hair whispered, and it stood up proudly, and even Ms. Wen became "Sister Wen".
"In that case, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."
After receiving a positive answer, she stopped insisting and prepared to leave after bowing.
"etc!"
The shouting from behind made her stop.
Ms. Wen took a few steps forward, her face filled with worry, as if she had something to hide.
"I heard that you went to Mr. Bo before coming here... He, he didn't do anything to you, right?"
Mr. Bo? Why mention him at this time?
"No, he invited me to visit the collection room."
Suppressing her doubts, she answered truthfully, taking the opportunity to observe Ms. Wen's expression.
"This is really rare..."
Hearing this, the worry on Ms. Wen's face decreased instead of increased. She looked at Cecilia hesitantly, her light blue eyes seemed to be shining with water.
"Although it may not be good for me to say, but it's not peaceful here recently. It seems that dangerous people have sneaked in... You'd better be careful."
Dangerous person? Is he the murderer that Mr. Bo mentioned?
"That's very kind of you."
After expressing her gratitude, Cecilia turned around and prepared to leave, but Ms. Wen suddenly asked a nonsensical question.
"…Excuse me, do you have any musical instrument that you are particularly good at?"
She looked a little dazed, and even bit her lips until they bled, as if she had made a great decision.
"No." Cecia shook her head. "I know nothing about musical instruments."
After hearing this, Ms. Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief and her expression relaxed a lot.
"That's good, that's good... Go back and be safe, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things..."
After saying that, she hurriedly locked the door, turned around and walked into the white fog, and soon disappeared.
"Hey, she won't be teleported back."
The teddy bear looked at the white fog in surprise. More than a minute had passed since Ms. Wen went in, but she still hadn't returned to her original position.
"It seems that the neighbors cannot see the white fog, nor will they be affected by it."
Cecia concluded, but she was thinking about something else.
Let's not worry about the white mist for now. Why does Ms. Wen care so much about Mr. Bo? The "instrument" she asked about is obviously also directed at Mr. Bo... and she just happens to be an excellent violinist.
Is there any connection between these two people?
The current intelligence was piled up in a mess, the information was too fragmented and the gaps were too large, making it difficult for her to sort out the clues. She might as well go back and record them all down first.
After getting Ms. Wen's approval, the teddy bear seemed very happy and even hummed a little tune. When Cecia finished organizing her notes, it asked excitedly, "Who should I look for next?"
"The fitness coach, he's the easier one to deal with among the rest..."
Five minutes later.
"Thea, are you sure?"
Seeing Mr. Bear in front of him, who was as strong as an ox and had a neck as thick as his head, the teddy bear curled up as much as possible for fear of being targeted by the other party.
Jia Dabing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He trembled and clung to the door frame from which he came in, and refused to take another step forward no matter what.
"I...I want to go back..."
He sobbed quietly, like a poor kid being bullied by a bully.
"Have you just moved here? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mr. Xiong frowned, glared, and looked at the people in front of him with great imposingness.
Only Cecilia's height could be compared with his, but in the "optimization" of the system, Cecilia also became thin and small - in his eyes, they were all vulnerable little chickens.
"We will hold a party at our home tonight at nine o'clock, and we hope to invite you to attend."
Cecia was polite without being overly flattering.
Unlike Mr. Bo, he despises flatterers the most. The weaker and more humble someone is in front of him, the more he wants to step on them.
"I don't have time for you to mess around!"
Mr. Bear spoke gruffly, unmoved by Cecia's suggestion.
As she spoke, she smelled a very faint smell of alcohol and quickly added, "We have also prepared some fine wine for this party."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiong's expression finally changed. He rubbed his fingers and smacked his lips: "...If I have time, I'll go."
Seeing his hesitation, Cecilia took advantage of the situation and pursued him.
"If you don't have time to attend, I will find time to send a few bottles of wine as a gift to you."
“…”
Mr. Xiong paused, retracted his right hand that was about to close the door, and shouted, "Since you are still thoughtful, I advise you to stay away from everyone else, especially that brain-dead kid!"
"Besides, there are problems with the people in this place."
He approached Cecia mysteriously and pointed to his head, "There's a problem here."
"That's all I have to say. Just don't have any contact with them. It's better not to hold any parties. I'm afraid you might get yourself into trouble!"
After repeatedly emphasizing not to get close to other people, he slammed the door shut, as if he was afraid that Cecilia would ask him the reason.
She has met three neighbors so far, and all three have mentioned the strangeness of other neighbors.
Mr. Bo said there was a murderer among the neighbors; Ms. Wen said there were dangerous people here, and he even asked her if she could play a musical instrument; Mr. Xiong claimed that everyone else had problems...
There must be some secret between them.
After leaving Mr. Xiong's house, they went to find Ms. Qian.
Just as the introduction on the plaque said, Ms. Qian did not show up and the housekeeper received them.
The other party said that Ms. Qian was not feeling well and was not convenient to meet guests. Although he used polite words such as "please" and "you", his condescending attitude clearly showed that he looked down on them.
Before they left, the housekeeper kept spraying air freshener, as if blaming them for polluting the air at the door.
When they returned from Ms. Qian's place, covered in dust and dirt, it was already 8:45 and they had not prepared anything yet.
"Xia, aren't you going to prepare for the dinner? Sister Wen will be here soon."
Looking at the dusty, empty long table, the teddy bear paced back and forth anxiously, but Cecilia remained unmoved. She sat leisurely aside, waiting for time to pass.
"If she saw this, she would definitely have a bad impression of us and would never come again!"
The little guy was so anxious that he took a piece of rag from his bear paw and rubbed it back and forth on the table. However, since the rag was only the size of a fingertip, it had no effect at all.
