There was a hint of surprise and helplessness in Chi Yaoyang's eyes.
He looked at this "brother" who was tied up with bed sheets, his whole body twisted, and a trace of pain appeared in his expression.
"Brother! What's wrong with you?"
Chi Yaoyang's voice was filled with concern.
The little brother couldn't answer, he just twisted his body in pain.
He tried to break free, but was firmly trapped by the sheets.
The air around seemed to become heavy and full of depression.
Chi Yaoyang watched his "brother" suffer with heartache, but he was powerless to do anything.
"What should I do?"
A sense of determination surged in Chi Yaoyang's heart.
He began to look for clues everywhere, trying to find a way to rescue his "brother".
Chi Yaoyang's heart was filled with helplessness and confusion. He looked at his "brother" in front of him and realized that his help would be of no avail.
He tried to get closer to him, but the "brother" shook his head vigorously, signaling Chi Yaoyang not to come over.
"I want to help you."
Chi Yaoyang said softly.
There was a hint of warmth in his voice.
However, the "brother" continued to stare at the ceiling, with helplessness in his eyes.
He seemed to have accepted his fate of being bound. In this strange world, rescue was only a temporary dream.
Chi Yaoyang knew that this was just an illusion, a temptation to make him realize his true feelings.
Chi Yaoyang turned around and walked back to the door of the room.
He returned to the first floor, then reached out and knocked on the door of the room on the right.
The door then quietly opened a crack, revealing a stranger's face.
The stranger looked young, pale, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
He stared at Chi Yaoyang, as if trying to identify him.
Chi Yaoyang felt that he seemed to be familiar with this person, but he couldn't be sure where he had seen him.
He looked at the stranger with a hostile face, his heart full of questions and vigilance.
"Who are you?"
Chi Yaoyang asked, with a note of caution in his voice.
The stranger swallowed and fumbled with his clothes.
He was obviously frightened by Chi Yaoyang's attitude.
Chi Yaoyang carefully looked at the stranger in front of him, and finally realized that he was the neighbor uncle on the second floor.
The uncle obviously recognized Chi Yaoyang. A hint of joy appeared on his face, but it soon turned into uneasiness.
He stammered, "I...I am the deceased's brother."
After saying this, he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Chi Yaoyang immediately understood what he meant.
The deceased's brother came here for revenge. He might have got the information about the murderer and was lurking near the murderer's house as a neighbor, waiting for the best opportunity to take revenge.
"Are you sure you know who the murderer is?" Chi Yaoyang asked tentatively.
The uncle nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "I have been following him for a long time and I am sure he lives nearby. There is also a strange smell coming from that direction every night."
A series of images flashed through Chi Yaoyang's mind, and he tried to piece together a complete story.
After the victim was killed by a butcher, his brother looked for the murderer and lurked near the murderer's home as a neighbor, planning to find an opportunity for revenge.
"What are you going to do?"
Chi Yaoyang looked at the uncle, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
The uncle bit his lips tightly, his eyes full of determination: "I will wait for the best opportunity to avenge my brother. This murderer must not be let go!"
Chi Yaoyang did not give a clear answer, because he himself still needed time to consider whether to join this revenge.
He silently replayed the uncle's words in his mind.
He sorted out all the clues and goals, but found that he seemed to be just a bystander in all of this.
He was confused by the fact that he had no idea what role he played in the story.
Chi Yaoyang gradually fell into deep thought, and he began to reflect on the reasons why he came here.
Was it fate that led him to this dilapidated neighborhood, or did he have some special mission to accomplish?
Or is he just an insignificant being who happens to be caught up in a seemingly complicated story?
In any case, in this community shrouded in murder, Chi Yaoyang is no longer a bystander.
Chi Yaoyang looked up at the uncle and sensed the tenacious strength in his eyes.
He realized that his uncle had paid too much, and he firmly believed that only by bringing his enemies to justice with his own hands could he soothe the pain deep in his heart.
"I need some time to think about it," Chi Yaoyang replied calmly, "I understand your feelings and your desire to avenge your brother, but before I decide to join this revenge, I need to know more."
The uncle nodded, respecting Chi Yaoyang's choice.
At this time, the uncle saw the dog in Chi Yaoyang's arms, his face changed and he started to attack him.
"So, you are the murderer!"
Chi Yaoyang felt a strong force strangling his throat. His eyes were as calm as ice, without any sign of struggle.
He clenched his fists and tried to remain calm.
"Do you have any evidence? I don't even know your brother." Chi Yaoyang's voice was calm and firm. He tried to persuade the deceased's brother to let him go.
However, anger and hatred filled the eyes of the deceased's brother, and he seemed unwilling to listen to any explanation.
Chi Yaoyang gradually felt that he could not breathe, but he did not retreat at all.
Just as the suffocation crisis was approaching, a furry figure suddenly flashed out from Chi Yaoyang's arms.
It was the dog! It jumped on the dead man's brother and bit his arm with its sharp teeth.
The deceased's brother was frightened by the severe pain and released his control over Chi Yaoyang.
The dog took the opportunity to escape from the deceased's brother's restraints and quickly hid behind Chi Yaoyang.
Chi Yaoyang panted, patted the dog's head gratefully, and signaled it to leave first.
"Stop the fuck right there!"
The deceased's brother roared, and the hatred in his eyes became more obvious.
He rushed forward and tried to strangle Chi Yaoyang again.
Chi Yaoyang seized the opportunity and dodged the attack of the deceased's brother without hesitation.
He used his body skills to circumvent the deceased's brother like a dragon, and then gave him a fierce kick, hitting him hard in the back.
The deceased's brother fell to the ground and groaned in pain. Chi Yaoyang did not stop, he stepped forward, grabbed the deceased's brother by the collar and lifted him up.
"Tell me the truth." Chi Yaoyang's tone was cold and firm, "If you think I am the murderer, give me evidence."
The deceased's brother's eyes were filled with pain.
"That's my brother's dog." He gritted his teeth and said, "You are in cahoots with that family! You killed my brother together!"
Chi Yaoyang frowned slightly. He could feel the torment in the words of the deceased's brother.
