Extremely rare, in fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, given the property prices at Alice Apartment, only those with considerable assets could afford to live here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, most residents traveled by car. Though Xiao Q hadn't been to the underground parking garage, he hadn't seen many cars parked above ground either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was unlocking his bicycle in the garage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone approached nearby, also unlocking their bicycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wasn't far away, and after unlocking his bike, he pushed it toward Xiao Q.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q noticed the man wasn't particularly old, but had an unkempt beard covering his upper lip, chin, and thick sideburns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With dark circles under his eyes, the man walked over and asked directly: \"Are you one of the new residents this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q nodded. The man then said: \"I'm also a new arrival. My name is Ke Bei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei seemed accustomed to such jokes and continued: \"You're probably not an ordinary resident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you investigating Alice Apartment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden question wiped the slight smile off Xiao Q's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied seriously: \"Investigation? What investigation? I don't understand what you're talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei muttered to himself: \"My father was a private detective. He mysteriously disappeared several years ago while investigating a case. The case he was investigating involved Alice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, there's no need to hide it. I can smell a fellow investigator on you. Even if you're not one, you must have deep knowledge about detectives and criminal investigations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, I can read lips. I know everything you discussed with that administrator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, this rapid-fire speech might have been confusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Q listened carefully, pondering each word before finally asking: \"What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei gestured: \"Let's talk while we walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two pushed their bicycles and left Alice Apartment together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the live stream room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Damn! What are these two planning? Both investigating Alice Apartment?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Let them investigate! Makes it more exciting. There were investigators before, but none started this intensely.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Getting interesting! This 26th round keeps getting better.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Interesting? Now that they've left, we can't see or hear what they're doing!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Doesn't matter. They can't run far from their base anyway.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking their bicycles without riding, they moved along the roadside where few pedestrians passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei spoke first: \"My purpose here is simple - investigate Alice and my father's disappearance. What about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q replied: \"Mainly interested in Alice, plus I have a friend who signed the agreement and also disappeared here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei said: \"Since our goals align, we can cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q stared at Ke Bei for a long moment: \"Cooperate? We just met today, still strangers, and you want to team up? Do you think I'd dare?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei countered: \"If you lacked courage, you wouldn't have come to Alice Apartment as a new resident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q smiled: \"True. 'Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet deliberately heading there' - we're the same type. Fine, let's uncover the apartment's secrets together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A cooperative gamble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, Xiao Q thought temporary cooperation made sense given his limited individual capabilities. He could always withdraw later if issues arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued: \"I haven't properly introduced myself. Just call me Xiao Q. I'm a college student majoring in criminal investigation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei: \"No need for my introduction - you know my name and purpose. Oh, one thing I forgot - my occupation: unemployed. Used to be a private detective like my father, but quit after he disappeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei added: \"As partners, to show good faith, we should exchange information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unzipping his jacket, Ke Bei retrieved something from an inner pocket - a palm-sized leather notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led Xiao Q to a roadside bench where they sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing the notebook to Xiao Q: \"My father's journal - years of diaries. Flip to the last pages - that's where he wrote about Alice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q was surprised this new acquaintance would share something so important, despite their verbal agreement to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked: \"You trust me so quickly? Sharing critical information? What if I'm dangerous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Bei: \"Impossible. Though we've just met, I've observed you for a while. You're trustworthy. Otherwise I wouldn't have proposed cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q chuckled and opened the notebook while Ke Bei smoked nearby, offering one to Xiao Q who declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first page shocked Xiao Q.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people's handwriting deteriorates after school, sometimes becoming illegible even to themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ke Bei's father's diary entries were exceptionally neat, without any sloppiness - like model student work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After skimming early pages of routine detective notes (daily activities, clients etc.), Xiao Q went straight to the end for the Alice entries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diary began:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>March 8th, Weather: Sunny\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 8am today, a young man came to my office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked me to investigate his sister's disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I usually avoid missing persons cases - too time-consuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the payment was irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the case. Fortunately, this search wasn't worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location was fixed - the young man said his sister disappeared at Alice Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>April 9th, Weather: Sunny\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice Apartment is bizarre. Surface-level normalcy, but I sense major secrets inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May 10th, Weather: Cloudy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice Apartment is undoubtedly the most mysterious case I've ever encountered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now even without the client, I want to uncover its secrets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>June 9th, Weather: Partly Cloudy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days ago, a middle-aged man approached me and signed a contract - ¥10,000 per day to live inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surface investigation yielded nothing. This is the only way - live there to discover the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope everything goes smoothly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diary ended here... with the last entry dated years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This has some value, but not much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least it confirms the apartment is definitely problematic, with numerous disappearances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your father was in our exact situation - entered after signing the contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing else useful though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Q concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>",983,"2026-06-09T04:42:10.719Z",1,"novelbin.me","12dae8a1996ab08064834d14e8be9a0f2cadef347cfde2e85fcae18c96ce87ff","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-50","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-48",670,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-cover.jpg"]
