Chapter 319 His Treasures
Before Jiang Liyue and Yan Mobai could even get home, the hallway was filled with chaotic footsteps, panting, and the clanging of metal.
The hallway was already quite empty, and these sounds were amplified in the darkness.
The sound came from an unknown number of floors below, getting closer and closer.
This is clearly an upward climb.
It's unclear whether it's a serial killer hunting or some other strange occurrence.
Regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Liyue didn't want to run into them.
She was afraid that if she got dragged into it, she would beat up both sides.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Jiang Liyue led the person out of the fire escape and quickly returned to her home.
Yan Mobai let her lead him, and after they returned to the room, he carried her to the bed and snuggled against her: "Wife, you must be tired. Let's go to sleep and ignore what's going on outside."
Two days ago at this time, Jiang Liyue was indeed asleep, but today, perhaps because she saw Peng Wan upstairs, she is actually quite energetic and doesn't want to sleep for the time being.
"I took a nap this afternoon, so I'm not sleepy yet. I'll ask someone about Peng Wan's brother first." Jiang Liyue took out her phone.
Yan Mobai knew she was curious about this matter, and he was a little annoyed that he hadn't investigated it beforehand, otherwise Yueyue would have been asking him about it.
No... Yueyue doesn't want him to spoil the plot at all.
Thinking about it carefully, this is also because Yueyue believes in his abilities and treats her as one of her own.
That's why she didn't want him to reveal everything at once and affect her experience.
Yan Mobai managed to calm himself down and held Jiang Liyue in his arms. Since she was holding her phone, he couldn't play with her hands, so he played with her hair, or poked her ears and cheeks, which he enjoyed.
Jiang Liyue was already used to his ADHD-like behavior and was able to send messages without being affected.
I'll ask Zhu Shan instead.
[Sister Shan, could you tell me about Peng Wan's younger brother?]
Jiang Liyue's mind was filled with the pale, silent boy she had seen in the elevator earlier that day; he had come down from the nineteenth floor.
Moreover, upon closer reflection, the other person's exposed eyes bore a resemblance to Peng Wan's.
Unsurprisingly, the other party should be Peng Wan's younger brother.
Could such a thin and quiet boy really be a deranged killer who chops down other people's doors with an axe and eats them in the middle of the night?
Jiang Liyue was a little curious.
Zhu Shan didn't reply yet, but Liu Xi from next door sent her a message.
[Yueyue, why did you go out at night? It's not safe outside today.]
Oh well, you probably won't be in any danger. But why don't you come visit me?
Liu Xi remembered that she had brutally beaten up the male ghost that night, and knew that with her strength, she was unlikely to encounter any danger.
Moreover, although she didn't want to admit it, Liu Xi knew just how powerful the terrifying guy next to Jiang Liyue was.
With him around, other monsters probably wouldn't even dare to approach Yueyue.
[Sister Xi, I went upstairs to find someone today. I'll come find you again tomorrow.]
Liu Xi replied quickly: [Upstairs, is anyone still living upstairs?]
Yes, it's a novelist named Peng Wan.
Liu Xi: [What?! Xiao Wan lives upstairs?! She's still in our apartment?!]
Jiang Liyue: [Sister Xi, you know her?]
Liu Xi: [Of course I know her. She's a very nice person. We live in the same building, and we occasionally bump into each other and exchange a few words. But she's not...]
[Dead, right?]
[But wouldn't death become a ghost story? Sister Xi, why are you wondering why she's still alive?]
Liu Xi: [Because she died before the changes in our apartment building. I cried for her several times back then. And she was still in the apartment. Why didn't she make a sound for two years? I didn't even know she was still there.]
Jiang Liyue typed very quickly: [She probably doesn't want to show up. By the way, Sister Xi, did you know she has a younger brother?]
Liu Xi: [Of course I know. We even had a meal together. Her younger brother had just graduated from high school and came to visit her. We happened to run into each other. At that time, I had been beaten by that bastard and was injured. When the two siblings saw how badly I was hurt, they treated me to a meal.]
Liu Xi: [Both siblings are good kids. Xiao Wan is really pitiful to have encountered such a thing. If she's still upstairs, I'll go visit her in a couple of days.]
[Sister Xi, do you know what Peng Wan's younger brother's name is?]
Let me think... I think his name is Peng Yi. I heard Xiao Wan call him Xiao Yi.
When Liu Xi sent this message, Zhu Shan also replied: [Yueyue, sorry, I was eating just now. How did you know Peng Wan has a younger brother?]
Jiang Liyue: [Just learned about this]
Zhu Shan: [Peng Wan does indeed have a younger brother named Peng Yi.]
“Peng Yi…” Jiang Liyue murmured the name, then thanked her two older sisters on her phone.
Yan Mobai became unhappy again when he heard her utter other people's names.
But he couldn't spoil her mood, lest she get angry and stop calling him "husband" so sweetly.
Yan Mobai could only look at her with concern: "Wife, it's time to sleep."
Go to sleep and stop thinking about all that nonsense and garbage.
He hugged her tighter.
Jiang Liyue pushed the person out: "Wait a minute, I need to check some more things."
She searched for the name "Peng Yi" on her phone.
This name isn't particularly common; surprisingly, Jiang Liyue actually found it in the same forum as the previous post.
Several of them confessed their feelings secretly and posted photos.
The photo was taken secretly, showing a boy with delicate and youthful features, but without any expression.
Next to it was written a message congratulating Peng Yi on becoming the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination.
The comments below are all about whose youth this is and whose confession of love to each other.
This is a boy with excellent grades who is liked by many people.
Jiang Liyue continued scrolling down and came across a post with very few replies that said, "I actually found Peng Yi's account!"
I don't know how this person found out; maybe it was because they were a classmate and saw it by accident.
Later, a guest account was tagged. Jiang Liyue clicked on it and found it looked familiar.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that this was the same account she had seen in the "serial murder case" before.
At this point, the killer's identity seems quite clear.
Only one final confirmation is needed to determine whether the other party is indeed a murderer.
"Yueyue..." Yan Mobai called her softly.
Okay, she thought she should go to sleep before making a decision.
Jiang Liyue yawned and rolled over into Yan Mobai's arms, facing him.
She looked up and kissed his chin: "Goodnight, honey."
"Goodnight, Yueyue." Yan Mobai hugged her tightly.
It was as if he had held his only treasure.
