She was terrified. If Li Erwei was really trapped by the people on the seventh floor, then he was very likely to be in grave danger.
She simply couldn't survive without Li Erwei! Ever since Li Erwei awakened his superpowers, most of his attention has been elsewhere; she had to use every trick in the book to keep him by her side.
If she really dies, then she's finished.
Seeing the patrolling soldiers at the door, Lin Yue instinctively felt that her savior had arrived, and hurriedly dragged one out from the line.
"Hey, what are you doing, woman?" Zhao Qiansun, who had been pulled back by Lin Yue, said in a loud and boisterous manner.
"My boyfriend disappeared after entering this building. Someone said he went up to the seventh floor. Soldiers, please help me, please help me find my boyfriend." Lin Yue cried, looking heartbroken.
Zhao Qiansun glanced at the captain, while the captain glanced at Zhou Heng, who was crouching in the corner.
Seventh floor?
Isn't that the floor where Jiang Zhi lives?
Zhou Heng stood up and patted the ice shards sticking to his body.
What's your boyfriend's name?
“His…his name is Li Erwei. We were planning to get married…” Lin Yue wiped away her tears, which would freeze if she didn’t.
Zhou Heng turned to the others and said, "You continue patrolling, Zhao Qiansun follow."
Then Zhou Heng led Lin Yue to the seventh floor of Building 15. When they reached the sixth floor, they ran into Wang Wan and Yan Zhi, who were on their way to discuss forming a team with Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi noticed someone going up to the seventh floor, so she immediately packed up everything that needed to be put away. As soon as she opened the window, the temperature in the living room dropped by ten degrees, reaching about minus ten degrees, before she closed the window.
Even Jiang Wanfu was put into the spatial storage.
Jiang Zhi wrapped her neck tightly with a scarf, then pulled out a pile of broken wood from the junk pile in her space and sprinkled some water on it, which quickly condensed.
After adding a few pieces of firewood to the stove, Jiang Zhi heard a knock on the door.
The room was lit by an oil lamp, so it wasn't very dark.
"Is Sister Jiang Zhi home? This is Wang Wan~"
There were more than two footsteps outside; there should be at least five.
Jiang Zhi opened the door and immediately saw Zhou Heng standing behind Wang Wan and Yan Zhi. Next to him stood a woman with her head and neck wrapped in a scarf and her eyes bloodshot.
The woman had clearly been crying.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Zhi asked coldly. This was clearly directed at the three uninvited guests behind her.
Wang Wan and Yan Zhi knew Jiang Zhi's temperament to some extent, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Zhi's tone.
"You are Jiang Zhi?" Lin Yue's voice was somewhat sharp and piercing, and Jiang Zhi loosened her grip on the door frame.
"I am," Jiang Zhi did not deny it.
"Where is my boyfriend, Li Erwei? Where did you hide him?" Lin Yue questioned.
"Li Erwei? Who's that?"
Lin Yue: "You! Before he left that day, he clearly told me that he was coming to see you."
"Looking for me? I don't even know him, what would he want from me?" Jiang Zhi found it amusing, of course, it was all an act.
She killed everyone, and she forgot where she threw the bodies. Now there's no way to prove her innocence, so what can anyone do to her?
Before Lin Yue could say another word, Jiang Zhi stepped aside: "Come in and talk."
The group entered the house. The living room was quite empty, with only a stove, a sofa, and a wooden chair.
It became crowded when only six people were standing there at once.
Wang Wan and Yan Zhi stood in front, together with Jiang Zhi, by the stove. The stove was still burning, and it was very warm, dispelling much of the chill.
"Soldiers, you must help me interrogate her! My boyfriend, Li Erwei, disappeared after entering this building. I suspect something has happened to him. Doesn't the base have rules against fighting and killing on the base? You must help me get justice!"
Lin Yue spoke while wiping away tears.
Zhao Qiansun said that with Zhou Heng present, he was just a bystander.
But this room is really warm, much warmer than outside where it's minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius. There's even a stove burning. This woman is really capable.
"Jiang Zhi, has anyone named Li Erwei contacted you?" Zhou Heng asked.
"No." Jiang Zhi shook her head.
Wang Wan suddenly remembered that Jiang Zhi was cleaning the doorway that day... Could it be that day? He lowered his head and quickly suppressed all the emotions he shouldn't have.
Jiang Zhi is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately; Li Erwei must have done something wrong to anger her.
That's right!
People die every day in this world. The base has to process a large number of deaths every day. What does the death of Li Erwei matter?
Zhou Heng pressed further, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Zhi stared intently at Lin Yue: "Of course, but if you want to pin a crime on me, that's fine too. I really did kill Li Erwei, but where did he go? Where's his body?"
"You must have eaten it!" Lin Yue suddenly pointed at Jiang Zhi, absolutely certain.
"Little sister, slandering someone's innocence for no reason will lead to a terrible death," Jiang Zhi suddenly smiled.
To Lin Yue, that smile seemed slightly eerie.
Lin Yue became even more certain, but she was also very apprehensive, as she had no evidence.
If so, then it's Li Erwei's remains. The flesh is edible, but surely they wouldn't be able to gnaw on the bones?
Li Erwei is an esper, so if this woman is even more powerful than him... Lin Yue shuddered and immediately resumed her pitiful appearance.
"Soldier, if Jiang Zhi didn't move the body, then there must be some clues in this house." Lin Yue looked at Zhou Heng with pleading eyes.
This soldier looks very handsome and has a very proper appearance!
If I could get close to him, why would I worry about rent? I could eat and drink well every day.
Lin Yue had a plan in mind. Jiang Zhi lived in a one-bedroom apartment, and the bedroom door was closed. Who knew what treasures were hidden inside? If she could find Li Erwei's remains inside...
"Soldier, could you help me search? My boyfriend must be here. The door is closed; there must be something ghosting inside."
Wang Wan was stunned; she had never seen anyone with such a thick skin.
Who does she think she is?
“This…” Zhou Heng hesitated. He said, “I’m afraid this will require Miss Jiang Zhi’s consent.”
"Why should we? Are the base's rules just for show?"
"I don't know if the base's rules are just for show, but I do know that the base doesn't stipulate that anyone can arbitrarily search other people's rooms. What, is this lady here to rob someone?"
Jiang Zhi's sarcastic remarks infuriated Lin Yuedou, causing large tears to stream down her face.
"I advise this young lady not to cry in the dead of winter, or she'll go blind," Jiang Zhi sneered, then took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the sunglasses hanging in her chest pocket.
Since the onset of extreme cold, sunglasses have become a necessity, as snow blindness is no joke.
"You...you're shameless! My boyfriend told me that there was a shameless woman who had a crush on him back in high school, which is why he came to find you that day to clear things up. I never expected you to be so malicious..."
Lin Yue chattered on and on.
"Have you said enough? If you have, then get out of here. I don't have that much time to waste on you. You've dirtied my house. Get out of here."
Jiang Zhi immediately turned him away, thinking something was about to happen. He was just a talkative bum who didn't deserve her time.
