Chapter 310 Serial Murder Case
Jiang Liyue stepped into the elevator after thinking for a moment, and took the initiative to greet the other person: "Hello."
The boy paused for a moment before speaking in a muffled voice, "Hello."
"I'm a new resident who just moved in a couple of days ago. Have you been living here all along?" Jiang Liyue seemed exceptionally enthusiastic.
But the boy was clearly a stranger; he showed a moment of fear at her overly familiar attitude.
No, why should I talk to him? He doesn't want to talk...
Help! Help! Help! Help!
After a long pause, the boy finally managed to utter a single "hmm".
Jiang Liyue pretended not to notice his attitude and continued with a smile, "My name is Jiang Liyue. What's your name? Do you live alone? How old are you? What do you do for a living? Are you still in school? You look quite young, like a student. Why aren't you in school...?"
The boy remained silent, his eyes seemingly devoid of any light, looking like a CPU that had been burned out.
With so many questions, how is he supposed to answer them? Help! Hopefully, a few more people will get on the elevator...
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This is exactly how I react to sudden enthusiasm!]
[This is how we, as individuals, see it.]
[I flirt with my wife online, but please, don't talk to me in real life...]
[The "i" person is nothing more than a toy for the "e" person.]
I'm just curious why Yueyue initiated the conversation with this person? Yueyue rarely takes the initiative, actually.
Does "rarely taking the initiative" refer to the nice older sisters I met in the game?
Is it possible that he's the new boy Yueyue has her eye on? Although he's wearing a mask so we can't see his face clearly, he shouldn't be too ugly.
I think Yueyue was more in a state of searching for clues than in a romantic relationship.
[Unsure, will consider further]
I don't know if it was the boy's prayers that had an effect.
Fortunately, the elevator doors opened again when we reached the twelfth floor.
Even more coincidentally, the person who came in this time was also an acquaintance—
That's Luo Si, the intermediary who signed the contract with Jiang Liyue.
Luo Si also seemed a little surprised. As he entered the elevator, he greeted Jiang Liyue, "Miss Jiang, it's you."
"Yes, look at me, I'm perfectly fine. Isn't Mr. Luo happy?" Jiang Liyue said sarcastically.
That night, when the murderer came looking for her, Jiang Liyue couldn't believe that Luo Si had no reason to be involved.
Zhu Shan said that Luo Si was a despicable bastard who kept bringing humans to live in apartment 444. Didn't he think about what would happen to the humans after they came in?
Compared to Luo Si, Jiang Liyue clearly trusted Zhu Shan more.
Luo Si was taken aback by Jiang Liyue's words and felt a moment of embarrassment, but he quickly broke into a smile: "Miss Jiang, what are you saying? Of course, I hope that Miss Jiang can always be safe and sound."
Luo Si seemed a little confused: "Miss Jiang said in the group chat the other day that someone vandalized your door. Has that been resolved?"
"Of course it's resolved," Jiang Liyue said with a smile. "The administrator himself helped me resolve it."
"Administrator?" For the first time, Luo Si couldn't keep his expression in check and his eyes widened.
He knew Jiang Liyue was still alive, but he didn't expect that she would actually go to the administrator.
How could that be? Some of the humans living in Apartment 444 do indeed have different identities, and they always manage to produce some strange and useful gadgets.
However, no human has ever approached the administrator.
Even Luo Si had never met the other party.
Even though there were group chats, the administrator never showed up.
Even Luo Si occasionally felt that the administrator of number 444 might just be a symbol, and didn't actually exist.
He glanced to the side unconsciously before managing to maintain his original expression: "Really? That's great."
Jiang Liyue smiled meaningfully: "Yes..."
As they were talking, the elevator stopped at several floors, and more and more people entered, so Jiang Liyue stopped talking to Luo Si.
Luo Si is quite famous in apartment 444; every resident who enters the elevator greets him.
Then we chatted about everyday things in a normal way.
Jiang Liyue's gaze then fell on the silent boy standing in the far corner, who had come down from the nineteenth floor.
Only he, Luo Si, did not exchange a single glance with the other person after entering the elevator, nor did he say a single word.
It seems like an attempt to distance themselves and indicate unfamiliarity, but this unusual approach only makes it stranger.
Jiang Liyue slowly withdrew her gaze, and the elevator finally arrived at the first floor.
After everyone stepped out of the elevator, they all headed towards the main entrance. Once outside the apartment building, they each went their separate ways.
Jiang Liyue deliberately slowed her pace; Luo Si and the boy were not walking in the same direction.
That's really interesting.
Jiang Liyue slowly curled the corners of her lips and walked briskly toward the convenience store, which was about 100 meters away from the apartment.
The convenience store owner was a middle-aged woman with curly hair. As soon as Jiang Liyue entered, she casually mixed two drinks. When paying, she smiled and asked, "Sister, where can I find a job around here?"
She was beautiful and looked about twenty years younger than the boss, but she sweetly called him "sister" as soon as she opened her mouth, and the boss was instantly overjoyed.
"Hey girl, are you looking for a job?" The boss was very friendly.
“Yes.” Jiang Liyue rested her chin on her hand. “We just moved into apartment 444, and I was planning to see if I could find a job around here.”
The shop owner's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice: "You live in apartment 444?"
Jiang Liyue nodded: "It's cheaper there."
The boss slapped his thigh and looked at her with a regretful expression: "You're really foolish!"
"Do you know that the reason that apartment is so cheap is because several serial murders have occurred there, and the killer has still not been found."
Serial murder case.
It's not a serial killer, but a case of serial murder.
Jiang Liyue realized she had found a crucial clue. She shook her head, bewildered and frightened: "The agent didn't mention this to me when I moved in."
"Tsk, this must be a shady agency. They won't say anything just to rent out the house," the boss said bitterly.
But seeing Jiang Liyue's flustered and helpless appearance, the boss comforted her, "Why don't you cancel the lease quickly? Don't keep the house, and find another place to live."
Jiang Liyue blinked, her eyes red and looking frightened. She frowned in distress, "Sister, if I weren't short of money, I wouldn't have been tricked into renting there. All the money I had went to rent. If I really have to move out, I'll probably have to sleep on the streets..."
"Why don't you tell me about that serial murder case? If it's nothing serious, I can stay there peacefully."
Upon hearing her words, the boss looked disapproving.
His expression seemed to say, "If you're going to your death, there's nothing I can do."
