Chapter 5: Even the smallest clues attract attention
There are no cameras installed in the corridor. This is an old neighborhood in K City. It has been here since my grandparents were still alive.
Many of the new buildings in the surrounding area have cameras installed in the corridors on every floor, but there are none here.
Since it is an old community, most of the people living here are elderly people. The greenery in the community has also been there for some time, and the environment here is very suitable for retirement.
When closing the door, Xiang Yu looked up at the house opposite her. The house opposite her had been empty for many years.
Not long after grandma passed away, the old couple also went to live abroad with their son, so this place became empty.
After taking a quick look at the things in the space, Xiang Yu took out a fragrant roujiamo and pork and pickled mustard greens pot stickers.
When he bit into the crispy outer skin of the pot sticker, the juice inside burst in his mouth, and Xiang Yu felt extremely happy for a moment.
Once when she was extremely hungry, she wanted to have a bite of pork pot stickers from her hometown in K City. During that time, she dreamed of having a bite of it.
But what I ate later was the dry and hard bark that had been left for half a month.
Opening her phone, Xiang Yu looked at the remaining balance on her WeChat. She came from an ordinary family.
It was already very difficult without the help of his parents. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from the half-open window, sobering up Xiang Yu who was still hesitating.
He integrated all the assets he had, leaving tens of thousands of yuan in his cell phone and about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in his bank card.
That was the money she saved every month from her frugal life, to be used as an emergency in case she encountered any problems in college.
Even with this amount of money, it was not enough for her to stock up on supplies. Fortunately, the doomsday emergency list she made contained all the urgently needed items.
Every penny of this money will be spent wisely.
Outside the window came the rustling sound of falling snow and the screams of young people. Even though it was already late at night, they were still celebrating the heavy snow.
The doorbell rang again. Xiang Yu smelled the spicy fragrance before he opened the door. When he opened the door, a cute little girl appeared.
She was wearing a yellow takeout outfit, and perhaps because of the drop in temperature, the tip of her nose was already red from the cold.
"Sister, are you a food blogger? The news in our group has exploded because of you," the little girl looked at Xiang Yu excitedly.
There is also a backend on their food delivery platform, which is a group chat formed by these food delivery riders.
They specifically share in the group some of the difficult customers they encountered when delivering food, asking them to deliver the food to their door without knocking or calling.
And help carry buckets of water to the 30th floor, since we can’t take the elevator.
Obviously, Xiang Yu's lavish spending on the food delivery platform tonight had attracted their attention, so she had given Xiang Yu a reminder.
"I'm not a food blogger. It's snowing today, right? This kind of weather is perfect for a barbecue party. I've contacted some friends to come over for dinner later. I can't eat so much by myself."
Xiang Yu's explanation was very reasonable. The little girl looked at Xiang Yu's thin appearance and believed what he said for a moment.
She glanced at the takeaway boxes on the ground. One person really couldn't eat so much.
After the little girl got on the elevator, another elevator door soon opened slowly with a ding, revealing another delivery boy.
For the next two hours, the elevator never stopped, and some deliverymen even wrote down Xiang Yu's house number when they left.
Of course Xiang Yu saw all their actions.
Perhaps it was because the deliverymen entered Yangdeng Community too frequently, and finally two security guards were called in.
A man in his fifties, wearing a security uniform and holding a baton, followed the delivery man into the elevator and found Xiang Yu.
When they saw Xiang Yu, they felt extremely familiar with him. Xiang Yu had grown up in their eyes, and at that time, Xiang Yu was admitted to a prestigious Ivy League school.
They were happy for her too.
"Yu girl, what are you doing..." The security guard walking in front was looking at the corridor full of takeaway packages.
For a moment, I was at a loss as to what to do. "Didn't you go to school? Why are you back?"
The uncle calculated the time and it seemed that only a week had passed since Xiang Yu reported to the university.
"Uncle, I have something to do, so I asked for leave to come back. I asked a friend to come to my house later and ordered some food for us to get together."
Xiang Yu has said this countless times tonight. In their eyes, Xiang Yu has always been very honest and upright.
As for the idea that she lied to them, the two of them didn't even think about it that way.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was really fine, the two men told Xiang Yu not to play too late and go to bed early, and then they returned to the security booth.
Everything has a traceable path, and any clue will arouse suspicion. Xiang Yu dare not be careless next.
After confirming that all the takeout orders had been signed for, Xiang Yu closed the door and put all the takeout orders in the room into the space.
When she awakened to the space, she felt a pain in her head and then passed out. Now she is in good spirits and does not feel tired at all.
He turned on the lights in all the rooms, found incense, candles, and paper money, and began to worship in front of the two portraits.
After burning all the paper money in the house, Xiang Yu began to pack up the things in the room, including six quilts weighing six kilograms.
After packing the three beds and all the clothes, Xiang Yu put the two portraits into the space.
Xiang Yu put all the living room sofas, table lamps, and small items like shampoos and large items like washing machines into the space. She even moved the kitchen directly into the space.
Standing in the empty living room, Xiang Yu looked at the sky outside. Now she just had to wait for dawn so that she could go directly to the real estate company and sell the house.
The total amount of her assets was less than 100,000 yuan. If she wanted to stock up on supplies, she would have to sell her house to get money.
Time is running out now. I'm afraid that in ten days, when the blizzard comes, she won't be able to buy supplies even if she wants to.
By then, the authorities will secretly control the supplies, and the money in her hands will not be able to play the greatest role.
Because by then the money could indeed buy supplies, but the prices would have more than doubled, and originally fifty yuan could buy a bag of rice.
At that time, even if you spent five hundred, you wouldn't be able to buy it.
Xiang Yu knew this clearly, so he took the property title deed and went straight to the real estate company as soon as the sun rose in the morning.
A new real estate project was opened in K City. Before entering the real estate sales company, Xiang Yu met a group of extras at the gate.
They were all invited by the sales company to do promotion work for the new properties. Seeing so many people buying the new properties will also encourage some uninformed people to buy them.
Xiang Yu mingled at the edge of the crowd and waited for nearly half an hour before they opened the door. The extras set the atmosphere perfectly.
Queue up to pay and view the house, all in one go.
The sales hall was bustling with noise.
