Chapter 175 Extreme Cold. Capturing Li Yan
The next day, Liu Cheng did not go to hand in the grain. At about 11 o'clock at night, a miserable woman's cry was heard in the corridor.
Gu Ye and Chu An hurriedly got up and quickly put on their clothes. When they came to the corridor, Yin Tianlin and Tang Xiao also came out carrying steel pipes and axes.
Several people exchanged glances. If it was someone from Star City International, it would be troublesome.
"Walk."
Tang Xiao and Yin Tianlin took the lead, followed by Gu Ye and Chu An.
The four people went downstairs carefully. There were also many people standing on the 10th floor, including Ouyang, Luoyang, and Snow who came up from the 9th floor. Everyone had a weapon in his hand.
"What's going on down there?" Ouyang asked in a low voice.
Snow shook his head, "We just got out too."
"Go down and take a look."
The group of people continued to walk down. Just as they reached the corner of the ninth floor, they ran into Gao Chenghe and Liu Cheng from the eighth floor. Before they could say anything, Old Li from the seventh floor had already run up.
"Something happened to Unit 703." Old Li said breathlessly.
Ouyang frowned, "Is it the woman who lives alone?"
Lao Li: "Yes, he was stabbed to death. Nothing in the house was moved. There was only a note saying 'The consequences of resisting Star City International'"
Ouyang took a deep breath. They had just finished a meeting in the afternoon and were retaliated against in the evening. It was too fast.
Liu Cheng was indifferent to 703's death, but took the opportunity to mock Ouyang, "Is this the result you want?"
Ouyang clenched his back teeth and began to doubt himself.
Snow wondered, "How did they get in?"
Lao Li, "The windows were smashed and the iron railings fell to the ground."
"Falling on the ground?" Ouyang's eyes widened. "Where's the lock?"
"The lock...can't be found."
"How could this happen?" Ouyang murmured, "We locked it from the inside. Even if the glass was broken, they couldn't reach the lock."
"Could there be a traitor?" Snow said.
Liu Cheng, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they have some special skills, and the thing you made just has flaws."
Lao Li was not convinced, "Impossible, the lock I made cannot be opened by ordinary people."
Liu Cheng, "Do you think the people in Star City International are ordinary people?"
Ouyang, "Okay, let's go down and take a look first."
As the group was about to go downstairs, Chu An stopped and grabbed Gu Ye, "Let's go back."
"What's wrong?" Gu Ye stepped forward hurriedly, "You think there is a problem."
Chu An shook his head and said sleepily, "I'm scared. Let's go back."
Everyone paused for a moment, and a woman swung her knife without blinking an eye... the devil said she was scared!!!
"Well... since the people from Star City International have left, you guys can go back." Ouyang said.
Chu An nodded. She just wanted to find an excuse, but it backfired. Gu Ye followed closely behind. There were too many people in the building, so he was not needed.
The two returned to 1111. Gu Ye asked her if she had noticed anything. Chu An had nothing to hide. "It's impossible that Xingcheng International killed him. It's so cold. If they came, they would have to rob the whole building. How could they give a warning?"
Gu Ye also felt strange. Why didn’t Liu Cheng have a follower named Li Yan?
The two of them lay back in bed. Gu Ye had a dreamless night, and Chu An entered the space to continue working.
She has recently been trying to polish cotton needles, which are slightly thicker than ordinary ones, about 0.5mm in diameter, without needle noses, a bit like knitting needles.
Stone nails and willow leaf darts are too conspicuous. If used during the day, no matter how fast they are, they may be exposed when there are many people around.
Cotton needles are different. If they fall on the ground, you may not be able to find them. They are suitable for use in crowded places, and their killing effect is no worse than stone nails and willow leaf darts.
With the help of Shen Xun, she has already sharpened three hundred of them, and can control 100 of them at the same time, which is simply too cool.
She wants to take advantage of the good feeling now and grind out more, preferably to get tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, so that she can scatter flowers from the sky in the future.
The next day, both of them woke up refreshed. After breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Ye opened the door and found that it was Tang Xiao. He told them that there would be a meeting in 1112 in half an hour and Ouyang would also be there.
It seems that they also think there is something fishy.
As expected, Ouyang suspected that Liu Cheng and Li Yan were behind it, but he had no solid evidence.
"Then why are you looking for us? We don't have any evidence against them." Yin Tianlin still looked down on Ouyang. It was Tang Xiao who contacted him the previous few times, and he didn't interfere too much.
Ouyang explained awkwardly, "If they really did it, they will not give up unless we take the food. They may even hurt other people. I want to learn about the 11th floor and arrange accommodation in the building."
"No problem, we agree." Yin Tianlin said bluntly, "Go ahead and do it. I'll wait for your good news."
"That..." Ouyang's face became more and more embarrassed, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at Chu An. He used to think that Xiao An spoke with a blank expression and had a cold attitude, but now he thought about how gentle he was and how he would even give him advice.
Chu An was using her mental power to sharpen a needle in space. She sharpened the general shape, and Chen Xun helped her polish it.
Ouyang suddenly looked at her, she tilted her head and stopped temporarily.
Ouyang was embarrassed and could only continue shamelessly, "Well...you guys are better, can you also join the class?"
Yin Tianlin still wanted to confront him, but then he changed his mind and thought that since they had already agreed to cooperate, he shouldn’t go too far. The 11th floor could send someone.
"Do you want to prevent someone from being harmed again, or do you want to catch the murderer?" Chu An spoke first without waiting for Yin Tianlin to respond.
Ouyang frowned, "Is there any difference?"
Chu An, "There is a big difference. If you want to prevent people in the building from being killed, you have to arrange the shifts. If you want to catch the murderer, you have to arrange the opposite."
"We can also send one person. More than one person is not enough. Li Rong is injured and Xiao Ye is still too young."
Ouyang understood and immediately went back to discuss countermeasures, and then arranged shifts, alternating between a loose day and a tight day. On the third day, they caught the sneaky Li Yan.
The whole building was in an uproar. No matter how careful you are, you can't prevent a thief from robbing your own house. When his wife found out about it, she fainted on the spot.
However, no matter how he was asked, Li Yan refused to admit to the murder. Sometimes he said that he had remembered the shift schedule incorrectly, and sometimes he said that he heard some noise in the building and thought that people from Star City International had come.
Ouyang was also mean, ignoring Liu Cheng's obstruction, and locked him in 703, and then made some noise at night. After a day, Li Yan couldn't hold on any longer, and frantically tried to get out by pushing the door.
That day, he didn't want to kill anyone, he just wanted to steal some food, and he left the note to frame Star City International.
"That woman refused to let go no matter what I said, and even took off the photo of my face. I had no choice but to do it. I just wanted to have a full meal... woo woo woo."
A grown man cried like a grandson.
Ouyang asked him if he had any accomplices, and he said no, it was all his idea.
How is this possible? Every time they go out, it's just him and Liu Cheng. Even if there are more people together, they will find an excuse to leave the others behind.
"You wanted food, why didn't you take it in the end?" Ouyang continued to ask.
"I...I forgot."
Ouyang was anxious and worried. He knew that he was lying, but there was no witness or evidence. As long as he did not admit it and did not identify Liu Cheng, no one could do anything.
Liu Cheng was also very good at acting. He cried with tears and snot, saying that he had not taught his brothers well and that he was sorry for everyone. He asked them to hand Li Yan over to him for handling.
