Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 434: The Man in the White Ghost Mask—Jiang Ran

"Moreover, Alice Apartment is a high-end apartment building. The people who can live here may not be extremely wealthy, but their financial conditions are definitely far, far beyond that of ordinary people.""Therefore, if ordinary people encountered an apartment building with such a series of deaths, no matter how difficult it was, they would move out for their own safety. After all, this is no longer just a simple case of having a neighbor whose house is a murder scene."

"But what about the wealthy people here?"

"My apprentice went to investigate and interview the residents here these past few days. I, on the other hand, spent most of my time wandering around the apartment building, mostly around the construction sites nearby and the rooftop of this building."

"I discovered that despite so many murder cases happening here."

"Surprisingly, no one has moved out!"

The young detective said, "Perhaps the time has been too short. They haven't found a place outside yet, or a buyer for their apartment here."

The detective in his fifties replied, "That could be one explanation, but it's a forced one at best. Because during the few days I've been here, I haven't even seen a single real estate agent bringing clients to view apartments."

"Therefore, this apartment building is simply not an ordinary apartment building."

The young detective asked, "But Uncle, you still haven't explained why we can't find the murderer who killed the father of our employer, Zhou Yan!"

The detective in his fifties glanced at him, "The reason is in what I just said. I just didn't elaborate too much."

"If I were to elaborate in detail, it would be this: our luck won't be as good as the Three Tigers Detective Group's, who found the murderer right away in one search, and that murderer happened to be a vile character who liked turning victims' heads into specimens."

"Their luck was truly incredible."

"And us? Even now, if the murderer stood right in front of us, we wouldn't know he was the murderer, because you have no evidence to prove he is the murderer. Not all murderers have that hobby of turning corpses into specimens. Therefore, Zhou Yan's father's body should have long been disposed of cleanly!!!"

The young detective remained silent for a long time after hearing this, "So you mean we definitely have no chance. In that case, why are we still cooperating?"

"Let's just leave this place. It's not like we have to pay any penalty fees or anything."

The detective in his fifties said, "Leaving here is indeed the optimal solution."

"And the purpose of cooperation is that if you still want to grasp a sliver of hope, we need to cooperate."

The young detective's eyes lit up, "So we still need to find the murderer?"

The detective in his fifties explained, "Cooperation is indeed about finding the murderer and splitting the money, but more importantly, it's about protecting each other to avoid meeting an untimely end, just like that person."

"He might have been killed by the murderer who killed Zhou Yan's father, or he might have been killed by someone else in this apartment building."

"In short, everything I said earlier indicates that this apartment building is dangerous and not an ordinary apartment building."

The young detective nodded, "So what should we do next?"

The detective in his fifties said, "We'll follow the method of the deceased person. We'll pick the lock of every apartment in this building and search inside. It's the dumbest method, but also the most effective."

"Of course, the prerequisite is safety."

"Everything is based on the premise of safety."

Little Sherlock Holmes, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up:

"Um, this uncle, I have a feeling that you're staying here not for the money, but to satisfy your own curiosity about this apartment building?"

Having been seen through, the detective in his fifties smiled, "Very clever. You guessed right."

"I think the probability of us finding the murderer is minuscule, but isn't it good to satisfy my curiosity while trying for that minuscule chance?"

"Anyway, this is my last commission. After finishing this job, I can retire."

"Everything after that will be left to my apprentice."

So, the relationship between these two was master and apprentice.

It's just that his apprentice seemed to be someone who didn't like talking.

"Alright, next, let's discuss how to search the apartments here!"

All these things secretly discussed by these four people in the deceased Zhou Wu and Shen Xing's marital home were seen clearly and heard even more clearly by the people in the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room.

Before this round's broadcast started, they heard the long-haired beautiful host say that Zhou Yan had hired a few more detectives to investigate the murderer of her father.

However, these detectives should all be small-time detectives, not like Mike from America's top ten, who had so much hype.

Otherwise, they would definitely have been added to the list of lab rats for this round.

Middle-aged Uncle: [Among these private detectives from our own country that were hired, there really is a smart person.]

[They can really analyze things thoroughly based on the information and current situation they have, deducing a lot.]

[But after analyzing so much, they still don't run? They still want to satisfy their curiosity? I'm really afraid they'll die here.]

Fairy Sister: [Exactly. Mike, the detective ranked in America's top ten, was so decisive. He ran as soon as he said he would, without any hesitation.]

Domineering Female CEO: [So, this is the wonder of humanity. At the same fork in the road, some people choose the left path, while others choose the right.]

29th Round, Day 5.

4:10 PM.

Jiang Ran's packages arrived.

For his packages, except for those from delivery companies that required door-to-door service, all others were placed in the security room.

But after the security guards in the security room complained that there were too many packages, taking up too much space in their room.

So, a package locker was set up in the open space near the security room.

All packages were placed here.

Jiang Ran took two packages from the locker.

After returning home, he opened these two packages.

One package contained a black robe.

The other contained a white ghost-face mask.

He couldn't wait to put on the black robe and the mask on his body and face.

After putting them on, Jiang Ran walked to the floor-length mirror in his bedroom, looking at his current appearance.

Wow, it looked exactly like the guy who had come to his doorstep twice and just like in the movies.

He happily kept looking down at himself, checking if there were any flaws in his outfit.

After confirming there were none, he walked out of 304 and arrived at the door of 301.

Jiang Ran hadn't greeted the old man living in 301 for a long time.

Since that time when he first came to the apartment and helped this old man by giving his place a good cleaning.

He hadn't helped since then. It was a good opportunity to come and see if he needed any help now.

He knocked on the door, "Dong dong dong."

301 Living Room.

Ever since being beaten up by Jiang Ran that one time, the old man in 301 hadn't killed a single lab rat.

He refused to admit he was old, but after that beating from Jiang Ran, he realized he might really be getting old.

Not just physically, but also in spirit.

So, that day, when he left the apartment and saw Old Dog and Fang Xiao confronting each other, on the verge of a fight.

He wanted to fish in troubled waters and get a corpse of one of those vicious dogs Old Dog raised.

To use it to make a medicinal soup.

He found this recipe in a very old traditional Chinese medicine ancient text.

It said to take the heart and gallbladder of a vicious dog.

Combine it with various precious Chinese herbs and a special brewing method.

After successful brewing.

The medicinal soup, using some method and taken with something else.

Could make the person who consumed it become vigorous and full of energy.
