Whoever knows of your existence, you'll show up at their door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran held his head, in extreme distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, the person matched the descriptions given by Shangguan Fei and Lin Feng exactly;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was the same person, identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he took out his phone and sent a message to Manager Mao Li Zhishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mao Li Zhishu and Shangguan Fei, along with the security team, were supposedly lying in wait for this person anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was informing them so they could come catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sent message was like a stone sinking into the sea;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was no reply from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran then made a phone call, but the other side kept not answering, busy with who knows what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, during the call to Manager Mao Li Zhishu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran noticed through the screen that the white ghost face mask person outside the door suddenly stopped scraping the door with the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, they squatted down, that exaggerated white ghost face pressed close to the door lock by the door, as if they knew someone inside was watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at Jiang Ran inside the door for a very, very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran couldn't see the facial features of the person under the mask, only the pitch-black abyss beneath the exaggerated eyes and mouth on the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Jiang Ran feel creepy all over again, goosebumps rising all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere fruit knife definitely couldn't break through Jiang Ran's security door by force;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even a power drill and chainsaw together couldn't break it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ran still moved a chair and sat in the living room, turning his head from time to time to look at the screen inside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't sleep;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had to wait for that white ghost face mask person to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about half an hour, the guy finally disappeared from the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, I forgot to call the police.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was because he was too nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran had thought to notify Manager Mao Li Zhishu but forgot to call the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the person was gone, calling the police would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, another day of being on tenterhooks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the white ghost face mask person left, Jiang Ran was also extremely sleepy, his eyelids feeling like thousand-pound weights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed onto his bedroom bed and fell asleep in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little past 7 AM, Jiang Ran was awakened again by his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were so heavy with sleep he could barely open them, all because of that person who used his door to sharpen a knife yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how sleepy he was, he had to answer the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After answering the phone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran was instantly wide awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waking up, he just slipped on his slippers and hurriedly took the elevator down to the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving, he rushed out of the elevator in a hurry and came outside the apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, seven or eight people had gathered outside the apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was Manager Mao Li Zhishu, who had only arrived yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's Mao Li Zhishu was still wearing yesterday's burgundy suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Ran, who had probably just gotten up, he waved at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jiang Ran arrived, he asked where someone else had died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Mao Li Zhishu pointed upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the outer wall of the apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the level of the 1st floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male corpse was hanging by its neck from a thick hemp rope, the other end of the rope connected to the rooftop on the top floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This male corpse was similar to the former manager Li Chong who had been nailed here before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were completely naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the difference was, the former had a red-tasseled spear piercing through his mouth, nailing him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the one before his eyes now was hung by the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are those densely packed things all over his body?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran noticed that this male corpse had densely packed white, reflective items all over its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those should be needles, silver embroidery needles, one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice sounded beside Jiang Ran's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look and found it was the person who had also witnessed Manager Li Chong the day before yesterday and had spoken to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was precisely that Painter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Painter told Jiang Ran that if he couldn't see clearly, he should use his own phone to take a picture of it above, then zoom in on the photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran did so, and when he saw the zoomed-in photo on his phone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two fingers he used to zoom in on the photo froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he couldn't help but say: \"So disgusting, my trypophobia is about to flare up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The densely packed embroidery needles seemed to correspond to the countless pores on that male corpse's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows what mindset the person inserting the embroidery needles had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many needles, how much time, were spent to create such a creepy thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly more of a hedgehog than a hedgehog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hedgehog only has spines on its back, but this male corpse had embroidery needles on every part of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Painter said at this moment from the side: \"The day before yesterday, Manager Li Chong died, with that kind of death. Today, another one with this kind of death appears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the murderer, intentionally using the human body to create this, placing it in the most conspicuous spot, showing his 'work' to all of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Ran said: \"The person who killed Li Chong killed another person yesterday. The murderer is an opera performer wearing a white military general opera costume.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, is the murderer today still him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Junjie, Liu Xiaogang's friend who died in Jiang Ran's house yesterday,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>probably wasn't known by many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jiang Ran didn't have the habit of taking photos and posting them in group chats or on social media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, accidental witnesses couldn't be ruled out, but the body was taken out covered with a white cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Painter was somewhat surprised: \"Another person died yesterday? And you saw that murderer with your own eyes?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran nodded: \"I saw it with my own eyes. The murderer killed a person yesterday;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the one who died was probably a friend of a new resident. He broke into my house to kill him. The method of death was the same as Li Chong's: pierced through the mouth, nailed to the wall, no clothes on the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hid at the time, so I was fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I called the police yesterday anyway, but they didn't catch the murderer. Everyone should be careful from now on;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he might continue killing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, suddenly a middle-aged male resident screamed shrilly: \"Eek! You scared me to death! How could there be murderers in this apartment?! What should I do if I encounter one alone in the future?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1469,"2026-06-09T04:42:10.999Z",1,"novelbin.me","7bdab349172b79c3b87b0774527f0628512152a26e68eb0a3c9635285c51af39","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-428","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-426",670,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-cover.jpg"]
