"If you buy the kind of surveillance camera that rotates and automatically locks onto the door as soon as someone or something passes by, your neighbor certainly won't dare to play a toy prank on you, but... he might take other extreme actions."
Jiang Yuan explained patiently.
[Wow, extreme actions? That sounds a bit scary.]
【You look down on your neighbors? ?】
“Our neighbor is a tall, thin young man who wears glasses and is very polite. We usually greet each other when we bump into each other on the street. We have a good impression of him, so why would we look down on him?”
“I heard from other neighbors that he does literary creation at home. He is a scholar with a high level of education. You see, my husband and I don’t have much education, so we can only work in factories and earn hard-earned money. We are envious of him.”
The middle-aged woman quickly explained.
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what she had said or done wrong that made the other person feel that they looked down on him.
"Besides greeting each other, sometimes when we buy extra fruit or something, we'll share some with him, and he always thanks us. We have a pretty good relationship," the middle-aged woman added, trying to show netizens through these actions that they have a good relationship with their neighbors.
"It's because you keep giving him fruit and homemade braised meat that he feels you look down on him and are giving him charity."
"Once this idea takes hold, it will only grow deeper and more ingrained as you do these things. Eventually, no matter what you do or how good it is to the other person, it will just be a form of ridicule and contempt to them."
"Paranoid people will imagine that every word you say when you give them something is a mockery of them."
Jiang Yuan replied.
"Am I right, Mr. Xu?" Jiang Yuan's mention of "Mr. Xu" sent chills down the spines of the viewers watching the live stream and the couple who were on the microphone.
"Mr. Xu?" the middle-aged man asked tentatively, glancing around the house out of the corner of his eye.
They came here to work; their child is studying in the countryside, being looked after by his father and stepmother.
Of course, they would send his father and children living expenses every month.
There are only the couple in this house, so where did the third person come from?
His wife worked at the same factory as him. They went to work together and came home together. He didn't believe his wife would cheat on him.
Who was Master Jiang calling out "Mr. Xu" to?
【？？？】
Was Master Jiang asking this question about the couple? It feels a bit odd.
[It's obvious at a glance that this isn't him. Didn't you notice that this man also seemed unfamiliar with the surname?]
[Could Master Jiang be shouting about that neighbor who retaliated against them?]
From my vantage point, I can only see the couple. Even if the neighbor is incredibly skilled, they couldn't possibly sneak into their house, could they?
The middle-aged woman's face changed drastically as if she had just realized something.
She nudged her husband with her elbow, her face darkening, and said, "The young man next door is surnamed Xu, and his name is Xu Rushan!"
Only then did the middle-aged man remember his neighbor's surname.
Since they moved here, the only time they've heard someone mention their full name is when they first meet them. After that, every time they run into each other, they call them Xiaoshan.
After all, the neighbors were younger than him, and they were about ten years older than him, so calling him Xiaoshan seemed more intimate.
As they kept calling him that, they started to accept his name as Xiaoshan and forgot what his surname was.
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up from his chair, looking around his house warily and suspiciously, trying to find where the other person was hiding.
"He's not at your house, he's at his own house, but he installed a hidden camera in your house."
"That's why the other party didn't ring the doorbell when you were staking out the place, but the doorbell rang again after you let your guard down."
“While you were staking out him, he was also watching you through a camera hidden in your living room.”
"He was secretly laughing behind the camera as he listened to you talk and saw how annoyed you were."
Jiang Yuan continued.
Wow, that's pretty gloomy.
How did they manage to hide a camera in someone else's home?
I'd like to know too; it's a bit impossible to guard against.
"A camera?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's under the coffee table next to your sofa, right in the direction of the living room door, so you can see when you leave and when you come back," Jiang Yuan replied.
The middle-aged man immediately walked to the coffee table, pushed aside the small coffee table where the kettle was placed, and then looked at the socket underneath.
The plug of their kettle occupied one socket, leaving two others empty.
As if he had just thought of something, the middle-aged man opened a drawer under the large coffee table and took out some tools.
First, I unplugged the kettle, then used a tool to pry open the socket.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Yuan said, there was a small pinhole camera hidden in that hole.
The couple were shocked.
When was this camera placed there?
[Really? How did they do that?]
[It was hidden so well, you couldn't possibly not have known, right? Did they sneak into your house and hide it there? If so, wouldn't that be burglary?]
I'd also like to know how they did that. At least when I go to someone's house, I wouldn't dare push aside their coffee table and then pry open their electrical outlet.
“Three months ago, you bought a new sofa. You wanted to save on labor costs, so you thought you could move it yourself. But your wife wasn’t strong, and she had a backache at the time, so she couldn’t move it. Just then, you ran into Xu Rushan coming down from upstairs, and he volunteered to help.”
