Chapter 391
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu walked in front, followed by several people carrying large and small bags.
…
A few hours later, the group came back talking and laughing.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu walked in front, followed by several people carrying large and small bags.
A small truck filled with various supplies has been parked downstairs. Since the community has been basically cleaned up, the families of the cleaning team members have also come downstairs to move things.
Li Qiuqiu took a list and distributed supplies according to the size of individual contributions.
Although the time was short, Cheng Hui still came up with a simple distribution system.
This time, everyone gained something. The large quantities of food were distributed by Cheng Hui, and the small items were shared among the team members who found them.
Maybe they were lucky, or maybe the people in the surrounding communities were afraid to go out. In short, the supermarkets they went to were basically deserted. As long as they cleared out the zombies, they could collect a lot of supplies. The small truck they drove out was full of rice and flour, which could at least guarantee the consumption of these dozens of people for several months.
After distributing the supplies, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu took their share back.
Cheng Hui gave up the staple food and chose a lot of snacks instead. Looking at the bulging bag, they were actually all puffed foods. He chose these not to fill his stomach. He had a lot of supplies at home. Not to mention those he had stored before, he had also received a lot from cleaning the corridor these days.
He hadn't expected that his honeymoon with Lin Qingqiu would turn out like this. He probably wouldn't have the chance to see those beautiful sights anymore. But at least he could take advantage of the situation and let Qingqiu try some snacks here.
It has to be said that China is really amazing when it comes to food. No other country can match China's research in this area. He is looking forward to Lin Qingqiu sharing these delicacies with him.
Unfortunately, not long after returning to the room, there was a fierce knock on the door.
Cheng Hui opened the door and saw Li Qiuqiu with a serious expression on his face: "Brother Cheng, something happened."
Cheng Hui's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"Ma Yao's mother was murdered."
"What?"
Cheng Hui was shocked.
He noticed that Li Qiuqiu said that he was killed by someone, not attacked by zombies, which means that the murderer was a human.
Li Qiuqiu added at the right moment: "The supplies in his home were also stolen."
Cheng Hui had been wondering why they had to kill people when they were all facing a zombie crisis. But when he heard about the theft of supplies, he understood.
The other party's purpose is most likely not to kill people, but to obtain supplies.
In an instant, his face turned cold.
These people are really amazing. They don't have the guts to kill zombies, but they have the guts to kill people and rob them?
Does this mean that the order is now in chaos and no police can come to arrest him?
Cheng Hui was almost laughing at this kind of popularity. Had he been too easy to talk to these days, so that he lacked sufficient deterrent power?
Recalling his days in the Xuanheng Realm, even though his policies made the demon cultivators under him very happy, no one disobeyed him.
Why? Because of his approachability?
No!
Because the Blood Demon Lord is standing behind him!
That boss really knows how to kill people!
That's why they were so respectful to me. And those people in the community didn't realize how terrifying Lin Qingqiu and I were, so some people would do such a thing, even those who were gossiping behind my back. Ultimately, it was because they lacked enough respect for me!
Cheng Hui never thought that he should be superior, but that doesn't mean he has to endure it if someone provokes him in person.
He took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his heart.
"Let's go to Ma Yao's house."
"good."
Lin Qingqiu grabbed a coat and put it on him, and picked up a baseball bat at the door.
Li Qiuqiu suddenly felt a chill and tried to minimize his presence.
Oh, oh, oh... Brother Cheng's aura is so scary, is he really angry?
Li Qiuqiu was also indignant. They had worked so hard outside to kill zombies and even risked their lives collecting supplies, and what happened? Someone tried to steal their belongings while they were away!
Not only stealing, but also killing people!
It's simply an unforgivable sin!
It's only been a few days since the end of the world? Someone like this has already appeared in the community. If they can't find him as soon as possible, how can their community still be peaceful?
Are the members of the cleanup team worried that if they are not at home, the same tragedy will happen to their families?
At the end of the world, people are already in panic. If such a vicious case occurs again and is not handled properly, the order in the community that has been maintained with great difficulty will completely collapse.
Cheng Hui never underestimates the evil of human nature. Just as he saw in his dream, after following Brother Sheng, those people in the mall were not used to Brother Sheng's actions at first, but later, they also became part of the evildoers.
He would never allow the community where he lived to become like that, so the murderer must die!
In just a few minutes, he arrived at the floor where Ma Yao's house was.
Ma Yaoren had collapsed and was crying bitterly while holding his mother's body.
Cheng Hui could understand that after these people joined the cleanup team, he had done some basic investigations on their backgrounds.
Ma Yao was born into a very ordinary single-parent family. His mother raised him with great difficulty and sent him to college. Now he had just graduated from college and had no time to repay his mother when the apocalypse broke out.
They were also unlucky. It happened that the food from the previous two days was almost eaten up, and Ma Yao had no time to buy more before the end of the world came. So Ma Yao actively joined the cleanup team in order to collect more food.
result……
Looking at the death of Ma Yao's mother, Cheng Hui's face turned cold.
It is obvious that Ma Yao's mother was not only killed, but also insulted before her death.
If there is any crime that is disgusting, it is undoubtedly this one. Many members of the cleanup team have gathered around. The experience of killing zombies together in the past few days has made them have a good relationship. Ma Yao's misery has made them share a common hatred of the enemy. They talked about it and said that they must catch the man.
Cheng Hui walked over to Ma Yao and patted him on the shoulder: "Let Auntie clean up first, and we will look for clues and find the murderer."
Ma Yao suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and the flames of hatred flashed in his eyes: "Captain! Help me! Help me find that bastard! I want to avenge my mother!"
"Don't worry!" Cheng Hui squeezed his shoulders tightly. "I'll catch that guy. I promise!"
Tears were streaming down Ma Yao's face, and the red in his eyes looked like tears of blood.
Cheng Hui pursed his lips and stood up: "Seal off this place and don't let anyone get close. Qiuqiu, go check the surveillance. With luck, it might still be running."
"Okay." Qiuqiu left quickly.
"Tang Yue, go ask the neighbors upstairs and downstairs if they heard anything."
"No problem." A woman with a high ponytail and wearing a red windbreaker hurried away.
"Wendy, Xiangyuan, check the house to see if anything else has been taken besides the supplies."
"Okay, Brother Cheng."
Cheng Hui took the initiative to help Ma Yao move his mother's body to the bed, and then found a girl to change Ma's mother into a clean set of clothes and wipe the blood off her face.
Ma Yao sat on the sofa with his eyes blank, as if he had lost his soul. Only when Cheng Hui spoke to him, his slightly trembling eyes could prove that he was still alive.
Soon, the group came back. Li Qiuqiu said that the surveillance was still on. From the time they left to the time they came back, no outsiders entered the building in the few hours.
Cheng Hui nodded, which means that the murderer is someone in this building. Considering that there are not many people still alive in the building, it is not difficult to choose the murderer from twenty or thirty people.
Tang Yue also came back. No noise was heard upstairs or downstairs. This was within Cheng Hui's expectations. After all, there was a floor between the upstairs and downstairs. As long as the murderer was careful, it would be almost impossible to make too much noise.
Wendy and Xiang Yuan checked Ma Yao's house. In addition to food, some drawers in the bedroom were opened, and an empty box was thrown outside. Judging from the size and shape of the box, it should be a jade bracelet.
Cheng Hui frowned slightly. Taking food was normal, but taking jewelry was completely unnecessary. What's more, the other party took jade bracelets instead of gold. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.
He came to Ma Yao's side, thought for a moment, and then asked, "I know you're in a bad mood right now, but in order to catch the murderer, I think you also hope that he will be arrested as soon as possible, right?"
Ma Yao covered his face and slowly turned around, sitting up straight and rubbing his face vigorously: "Ask."
"Is there a bracelet in your mother's bedroom drawer?"
"Yeah." Ma Yao nodded, then realized something: "The bracelet is lost?"
"Yes. So I want to ask, does this bracelet have any meaning?"
Ma Yao was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and then showed a confused expression: "I haven't heard my mother say anything, but she seems to value the bracelet very much and always keeps it with her."
"So based on your observations, do you think anyone in this building has had conflicts with your mother?"
Ma Yao shook his head. "My mother has a very soft personality and almost never quarrels with others. The only time she got angry was when I was a child and someone called me a fatherless bastard."
"Who scolded you?" Cheng Hui asked.
Ma Yao showed a helpless expression: "It's just a neighbor, a lady next door. She has been gone for many years. Everyone in her family also died in the zombies' mouths."
Cheng Hui was speechless for a moment. The only one with whom he had a conflict had died a long time ago. This was indeed a difficult situation to deal with.
"Are there any of your neighbors who are not well behaved?"
If there is no grudge, then Cheng Hui can only consider the bad character of some people.
Ma Yao seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened. "There really is such a person. I used to live in school and only came back on weekends. But one day, I came back early and saw a man on the fifth floor who seemed to be talking to my mother. My mother must have been very unhappy at the time, but after seeing me, she sent the man away and never mentioned it again."
"In that case, let's go ask that man first." Cheng Hui stood up and walked out.
Ma Yao was a little confused. Is it so casual?
But then I thought, it’s the end of the world now, and I don’t know where the police are yet, so it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with going and asking first.
He and Cheng Hui went to the fifth floor and watched Cheng Hui knock on the door.
The door opened quickly, and a middle-aged man cautiously poked his head out: "What do you want?"
