Shen Yizhou's expression was quite varied when he threw the food into the pot to cook.
He Tiantian stood beside him watching, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"How about I do it? Your expression is hilarious."
"Go away, go out and I'll cook myself."
He Tiantian laughed even louder, but she still obediently went to the living room and sat down.
There was a loud knocking on the door. "Open the door! I'm from apartment 402!"
He Tiantian opened the door, and there was a policeman from apartment 402. He walked into the living room and sniffed around, saying, "Are you cooking shit? It smells so bad."
"Officer, that's a bit rude of you. This is called snail rice noodles."
He Tiantian pouted, "Why is this person like this?"
"Oh, I've come to let you know that it's best not to go out tomorrow. The old lady has hired someone to perform a ritual, and she asked me to inform you."
"Huh? Why does the landlady need a religious ceremony?"
"Sigh, it's all because of that thing upstairs. She's worried she won't be able to rent it out."
The police officer was not polite at all, plopped down on the sofa, and even lit a cigarette from Shen Yizhou.
Shen Yizhou looked at him with disdain, "You're not being polite at all, acting like you're at home."
"A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Even if we take a step back, we are family. Let me have a taste of that stinky shit noodles."
Shen Yizhou walked into the kitchen speechlessly, while He Tiantian found the policeman quite interesting.
"Officer, have you been living here for a long time? Are you very familiar with the landlady?"
"Don't call me 'police uncle,' my name is Tang Hao, and I've lived here for about six or seven years."
He Tiantian looked shocked. "It's been so long. No wonder the landlady asked you to pass on the message."
"Come and eat, everyone!"
Shen Yizhou shouted into the living room, it seemed he was still preparing something for Tang Hao.
Tang Hao ate with great relish, constantly praising how delicious it was.
"Brother Hao, are you alone? You look like you haven't eaten."
"Don't even mention it, he's 35 and still hasn't found a wife."
Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian both made a clicking sound at the same time.
After Tang Hao finished his meal, he went to the police station. He Tiantian admired him a little; he still went to work in such heavy rain.
Wu Xiong, who lives upstairs, was woken up by hunger. He reached out and touched his arm, only to find that he was covered with a blanket.
He sat bolt upright with a start. Who had covered him with a blanket? The front door was locked too. Could it be Li Rou...?
The recliner started rocking, and Wu Xiong knew it must be Li Rou there. He was speechless for a moment. Do ghosts really exist in the world?
He could hardly believe it, but he still slowly approached the recliner, and stopped moving as soon as he got close.
Wu Xiong called out "Li Rou" to the recliner, and the recliner swayed twice in response.
"Are you... are you really still at home?"
The recliner swayed a couple more times, and Wu Xiong tentatively asked again, "Who killed you?"
The recliner hadn't moved. He walked back to the sofa and sat down. He also really wanted to know who had killed his wife.
Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. He wasn't without feelings for Li Rou; he was just used to suppressing her.
Now that Li Rou is gone and no one is cooking for him, looking at the empty house, he realizes how important Li Rou is.
Shen Yizhou sat on the sofa, silently looking at his cigarette pack, which was completely empty.
"No, he just came and smoked all my cigarettes. What does that mean?"
"Oh, it's alright, he won't come often anyway, let's just consider this as giving it to him."
Shen Yizhou threw away the cigarette pack in annoyance. What kind of people are these?
"I found out who lives in 603 today, it's Li Rou's boyfriend!"
"Yes, just as I guessed. Let's go up and take a look."
After Shen Yizhou finished speaking, he pulled He Tiantian up to the 6th floor and knocked on the door three times.
About five minutes later, someone came to open the door.
He Tiantian recognized her; she was the girl who had been crying in room 504!
Who are you looking for?
"We are Li Rou's friends and we'd like to talk to you."
The woman glanced at the two casually, thought for a moment, and then opened the door.
"Come in."
He Tiantian walked into the room, which had a very simple style, mainly in black and white tones, but there was a disgusting painting on the wall that looked like female genitalia.
She gestured for He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou to sit down on the sofa.
"If it's about Rou Rou, let's get straight to the point."
“Okay, we heard from Li Rou that if anything happens to her, she should let us come to you.”
The woman was somewhat incredulous. "Impossible, I haven't been in contact with her anymore."
"That's exactly what she told us."
Who exactly are you two?
He Tiantian waved her hand, "Don't get so excited, do you still remember the blue hair clip?"
The woman was somewhat angry. "Get out of my house right now!"
Their mission got off to a bad start, and the two of them were kicked out. Before leaving, Shen Yizhou noticed her shoes.
The size is a bit too big; what woman wears size 42 shoes?
He then thought of the footprints on the desk in room 504 that day...
After returning home, Shen Yizhou stroked his chin and peered out the window; it was still raining outside.
"Tian Tian, do you remember the footprints you saw on the desk that day?"
He Tiantian recalled the scene at the time, "Yes, there were some, not just on the desk, but also in the room."
Those footprints weren't Wu Xiong's. Who would wear dirty shoes at home?
"Hold me a little tight so I can lean out and take a look."
He Tiantian gripped Shen Yizhou's waist tightly. He leaned out halfway and found that the two floors were not far apart, and there were places to stand around.
