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

Chapter 453: The Detective Meets Zhou Yan

"Who?"Little Sherlock Holmes asked.

"Three people wearing white ghost-face masks and holding sharp weapons."

The detective in his fifties said.

The two sides began to exchange information about things the other didn't know.

After the conversation ended, all four of them fell silent.

None of them could figure out what the hell was going on with that apartment.

Daring to commit crimes in broad daylight?

"By the way, what about Li Mengmeng?"

The detective in his fifties remembered that woman.

The three men shook their heads: "We don't know. We didn't see her when we came out. She probably ran away long ago!"

The detective in his fifties sighed: "Forget it, let's contact the client. We really can't handle this case anymore. I wanted to satisfy my curiosity, but I really can't afford to play this game anymore."

...

Over at Li Mengmeng's side.

After Li Mengmeng was rescued by that concerned young man, and at her request, the two of them only stopped to catch their breath, gasping for air, after they were far away from Alice Apartment.

Once she had recovered, Li Mengmeng thanked the concerned young man.

In response to her thanks, the young man simply said it was the right thing to do.

He also asked Li Mengmeng if she wanted to call the police or something similar.

Li Mengmeng initially wanted to call the police, to have that middle-aged male doctor arrested.

But, every time she recalled that middle-aged male doctor, she felt fear and pain.

At the same time, she remembered even more clearly how she had ended up at Alice Apartment in the first place.

That agreement she had signed back then.

Right now, Li Mengmeng just wanted to stay away from Alice Apartment for the rest of her life.

She never wanted to have anything to do with that apartment again. Therefore, she found other excuses to gloss over the matter.

Li Mengmeng also introduced herself to the concerned young man.

At the same time, she asked the young man for his name.

The concerned young man gave a brilliant smile, his handsome face beaming with warmth:

"My name is Xu Ernian."

...

The four people led by the detective in his fifties met with Zhou Yan, Li Miguo, and Jimmy in a private room at a restaurant.

They were prepared to explain the situation to their client, Zhou Yan.

The private room was booked and paid for by the detective in his fifties.

When Zhou Yan, Li Miguo, and Jimmy entered the room.

Zhou Yan, seeing only four people inside, asked: "Where's the other person?"

The detective in his fifties said very calmly: "He's dead."

Zhou Yan and the other two each took a seat.

Cold and hot dishes were already laid out on the table.

Zhou Yan leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, looking extremely disdainful: "Alright, enough with this kind of joke."

The detective in his fifties: "We're not joking. He really is dead. If you don't believe it, you can go and check. There are records at the police station."

This time, Zhou Yan's relaxed body tensed up.

Li Miguo and Jimmy did the same.

Jimmy asked: "Dead? How did he die? And, why did you four invite us here?"

The detective in his fifties sighed: "He was definitely murdered. The person who killed him is unknown. That apartment, really, is beyond our capabilities."

"It's too dangerous, too insane. So, we're here to tell you that we're giving up."

"You'll have to find someone else!"

Upon hearing that the four detectives before her were abandoning the commission.

Zhou Yan should have been angry.

But, perhaps because she had already gone through Mike and the Three Tigers Detective Group abandoning the commission.

This time, she actually didn't get angry. Instead, she asked very calmly: "Dangerous? Insane? Where exactly is the danger in that apartment?"

She had always heard previous detectives talk about danger, about fearing for their lives.

That's why they terminated and gave up, but what exactly is the dangerous part?

The detective in his fifties, after organizing his words in his mind, said:

"In the few days we stayed there, several people died. There was the manager of that apartment, residents, and also the person you hired."

"Moreover, the state they died in... they were all stripped naked and hung on the outer wall of the apartment building."

"Besides that, why did we suddenly terminate the commission?"

"Our original plan was to search the apartment from top to bottom, including all the rooms there."

"So, today we went to Room 1004, went in to search, and accidentally discovered a woman named Li Mengmeng imprisoned there."

"Li Mengmeng?! Isn't that the female streamer my dad spent a lot of money on?"

Zhou Yan said in surprise.

The detective in his fifties snorted coldly: "Yeah, about this woman, after she got intimate with your dad, your dad received a call from your mom, went home late at night, and went missing. You didn't tell us any of this."

"Also, this Li Mengmeng, we rescued her. According to her, she was imprisoned by the person living in Room 1004."

Zhou Yan suddenly leaned forward, asking excitedly: "Where is this woman now?"

The detective in his fifties said: "Don't even mention it. We rescued her, probably got discovered, and then someone violently broke down the door of Room 404. It was probably the person who imprisoned her. Anyway, we all escaped from the balcony window down to the ground floor."

"We told her to go first. By the time we escaped, she was gone too."

After listening, Zhou Yan said: "Violently broke down the door? So, at that time, how many of you were in Room 404?"

The detective in his fifties: "Including Li Mengmeng, five people in total."

Zhou Yan sneered: "Five people? Then what were you afraid of?"

The detective in his fifties said with great disdain: "How do you know there was only one person outside? How can you be sure we had the advantage?"

"According to later eyewitnesses, there were three people with sharp weapons at the door."

Zhou Yan: "Did you call the police?"

The detective in his fifties said: "We did."

Zhou Yan: "Then it should be easy to catch them, right? Surveillance cameras, eyewitnesses."

The detective in his fifties: "The surveillance cameras were broken. Those three people were disguised and didn't reveal their true faces."

After speaking, the detective in his fifties felt his mouth was dry.

He picked up the water glass on the table, poured a cup of plain water, and gulped it down to quench his thirst.

Over there, Zhou Yan fell completely silent.

The detective in his fifties didn't pay her any mind either. He just urged his apprentice and the other two to eat, including Li Miguo and Jimmy across the table.

Li Miguo and Jimmy hadn't eaten lunch either, so they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

At this moment, inside the private room.

Apart from Zhou Yan, who was silent and still as a statue.

Everyone else was eating and drinking heartily.

After taking a few bites of food, the detective in his fifties looked at Zhou Yan sitting opposite him, looking sullen and unhappy.

He said: "Young lady, I know you're anxious to find your father, but counting us, you've already hired three groups of people."

"Finding the person who killed your brother was already incredibly lucky."

"The person who killed your father, if it's a normal murderer, would have disposed of the body long ago. It would be impossible to find."

"So, I advise you, don't waste your effort on this matter either."

The detective in his fifties meant well.

"That apartment is really weird and dangerous."

Zhou Yan raised her head and turned to look at Jimmy, who was eating cold spicy pig ears over there.

Jimmy usually eats sweet food in America.

He found it quite enjoyable to occasionally eat something spicy like this.
