Chapter 374 Three-Day Investigation
dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

A man asked in a docile voice.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"Are you busy? Then I'll ask again in two minutes."

The people outside harassed us several times, but no one inside responded.

"What's that smell? It's really stinky... Is there a dead person in the room? No, I want to call the police!"

crunch.

The door was opened.

Du Huiyi, with a pale face, dull eyes and messy hair, opened the door.

A clean-looking curly-haired man was standing outside the door. He was covering his nose and looked like he was about to faint from the smell in the room.

Du Huiyi said viciously: "What do you want?"

She didn't want to open the door. Nothing was more important than peeping at others. But if she didn't open the door, the boy outside would bring trouble.

The curly-haired man handed over a fruit basket filled with apples, bananas and other fruits. The fresh smell slightly dispelled the stench.

"Sister Du, I'm Wu Xian, the guy who used to run the detective agency downstairs. I bought Uncle Li's house a few days ago and moved into a new home, so I came here to visit and get in touch with my future neighbors."

"You're crazy, disturbing my rest!"

Du Huiyi glared at Wu Xian fiercely, snatched the fruit basket, and slammed the door shut.

Although she was very dissatisfied with Wu Xian's interruption, she still needed the fruit basket. She had been eating takeout for more than a month and hadn't eaten fresh fruit for a long time. Her body needed some nutrition.

"Really? What kind of person is this..."

Wu Xian muttered a few words of complaint, then his expression returned to seriousness. He walked downstairs, and only after he walked out of the hallway did the feeling of being watched gradually subside.

He found a shady place to sit down, took out a small notebook, and wrote down the contents from memory.

'Target No. 22, Zhao Xiaohong and his wife, have large areas of redness and swelling all over their bodies, and are still in the itching stage. They are mentally abnormal, but there should be a chance to save them.'

"Target No. 23, Yu Laoliu's family. The couple is in the same condition as above, but they look sad and their child is missing. One of the doors is locked. The child may have turned into an evil spirit. Be careful when you move."

"Target No. 24, Du Huiyi, the redness and swelling on her body have subsided. She is wearing gloves on both hands, and one of her hands has signs of damage. It is speculated that she has begun to transform into an evil spirit. Her husband has been confirmed dead. This target should be paid special attention to."

After finishing writing.

Wu Xian closed the notebook and wiped the sweat off his face.

He visited all twenty-six households and was so busy that his legs were a little weak.

After sitting for a while.

Han Xiaoying came over with a bag and handed Wu Xian a cup of coffee. After drinking the coffee, the fatigue on Wu Xian's face was slightly relieved.

"How's the progress? It's almost too late."

Wu Xian smiled and said, "Not bad."

Han Xiaoying stamped her feet: "Three days ago, you said it was okay. Now the deadline is almost here, and you still say it's okay. I took a lot of responsibility for this operation."

at this time.

It has been three days since Wu Xian was forced to move out of his home.

Originally, the City God was very supportive of Wu Xian.

The people in this building have been affected, so even if it costs the people in an entire building, it is worth it for Wu Xian to catch a villain.

But three days ago, Wu Xian was forced to flee from his home, which means that the impact of the abnormal incident is gradually expanding.

The City God's Office could not gamble on how quickly this influence would spread, so they only gave Wu Xian three days. If Wu Xian could not give a result by tonight, the City God's Office would have to intervene forcibly to quell the abnormal incident.

The purpose of arresting evildoers is to protect reality.

If we put the real world into crisis in order to capture the evildoer, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

So Wu Xian had no choice but to agree and promised to catch the evildoer within three days.

In Han Xiaoying's opinion, Wu Xian could not say that he had gained nothing in the past three days, but at least he had not achieved anything...

first day.

Wu Xian installed many panels in his new house.

But in the end it was proved that adding a layer of boards was no match for the prying eyes, and in order not to waste time, those boards were temporarily kept in Wu Xian's home.

If the evildoer is not caught, these boards will definitely be taken away. The City God's Office will not tolerate Wu Xian's unscrupulous taking advantage.

That night, the homeless Wu Xian and Heigu stayed in the hotel.

If there was any major gain for Wu Xian during these three days, it was that after leaving their home, this man and his dog were no longer disturbed by noise or the feeling of being watched.

the next day.

Wu Xian used the channels of the City God's Office to retrieve a lot of information.

In Han Xiaoying's opinion, this is a desperate attempt to find a cure.

Wu Xian gathered information on rental conditions in half of the nearby city, sewer layout, takeout route maps, noise complaint records, and even interviewed some cleaners.

I've been looking at information for a whole day, but I still don't know what to find.

At night.

He may have given up on himself.

He left the hotel, returned home, cooked a sumptuous meal, and treated all the employees of the City God's Office who had cooperated with him in his mischief to a big meal.

Han Xiaoying was very satisfied with the meal. Wu Xian's cooking skills were much better than those of the hotel chef. She felt that this meal was one of the few times Wu Xian had done a good job during the entire investigation process.

That night.

A strange knocking sound was also heard from the building on the other side of Wu Xian's house, which meant that the anomaly's impact had spread even further.

The City God's Office called immediately and demanded immediate action, but was stopped by Wu Xian, who said that the agreed three days had not yet arrived. After much persuasion, the City God's Office finally gave up the plan of action.

After persuading the City God to stay, Wu Xian came to his new house alone and threw a few flash bombs inside.

In Han Xiaoying's view, this was a way to vent her anger at her failure.

to today.

That is the third day.

Wu Xian was even more negligent. He did nothing during the day. He just asked Han Xiaoying to buy a bunch of fruits and vegetables, and he went from house to house.

This kind of investigation cannot be said to be useless.

But evildoers are usually very cunning and definitely do not live in the community. Simply testing the residents in the building will not help in catching them.

Han Xiaoying stood beside Wu Xian, sighing.

At this moment, in her mind, Wu Xian was just a lover who never took advantage of others, had little ability, but was very stubborn. She didn't know how such a lover could become a lover of Lotus.

She was disappointed that she had become the exclusive assistant of such a person.

Wu Xian was a little annoyed by her bitter face, so he handed the notebook in his hand to her.

Han Xiaoying asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This is an action guide for dealing with the evil spirits in the building at night. The information in the book can give them some reference."

Han Xiaoying sighed.

"You've been following this case for several days, and tonight is the finale. Even if you feel frustrated, don't give up. You should tell others this information."

Wu Xian was stunned for a moment.

"I tell the others?"

"How can I do that? Cleaning up this building is the job of ordinary people. I am a Lotus Family Member. I must catch the evildoer tonight!"
