Chapter 378

Jin Zilai was silent for a long time.

He had thought about continuing to pretend, thought about turning around and fleeing.

But now that things had come to this, pretending was meaningless. Since the other party could find this place, the escape route must have been blocked. The trick of using candlelight and a cloak to escape could only be used once.

After thinking about it.

Jin Zilai felt that he only had one way to survive.

So he sat on the sofa opposite Wu Xian and asked: "No wonder my plan failed. It turns out I chose the wrong target. But I have been watching you for the past few days. How did you find me?"

Wu Xian leaned back.

"You hid indeed very deeply. At first, I had basically no clue."

"Everything was a mess. I couldn't figure out the conditions for the spread of the scope of influence, I couldn't figure out where the chisels and cameras in the residents' hands came from, and I couldn't figure out how you influenced so many people without showing your face."

"Until the night before last, the weirdness spread to my house, and I found that as long as I left home, I could avoid the anomalous influence."

Jin Zilai was stunned: "What does this have to do with finding me?"

"Of course it has to do with it."

Wu Xian crossed his legs, his posture more relaxed.

"After discovering this point, I re-observed the terrain and found that the distance between Building 3 and other buildings was very far, and only my house stood between the two buildings. If you want to expand the anomaly, the best way is to use my house as a connection point."

"So my house being infected by the anomaly was not an accident, because you were aiming at my house from the beginning. I was just implicated."

Jin Zilai shook his head: "I still don't understand."

Wu Xian smiled and said.

"This is a causal relationship. Before, I always thought that I implicated my house, only treating my involvement in the event as an accidental event, so the investigation had no clue."

"But knowing that you were aiming at my house from the beginning, I could recall the reason why my house was involved in this event."

"A few days ago, at my door, I met an errand boy. That errand boy specially told me that many people had moved away near my house recently, making me worry about the housing prices nearby, thereby involving me in this event."

"I focused on the errand boy and suddenly saw the light. As long as I disguised myself as a delivery man, courier, or errand boy, I could swaggeringly contact the people in the building without causing suspicion from others."

"So I immediately checked the complex's surveillance and found that only my own house used errand boys frequently, and each time they were different people. The delivery men entering the complex every day were also mostly new faces, unable to run through every household in a short time."

"This made me think for a while that my train of thought was wrong."

"Until I found that when the hotel room service was cleaning the room, my dog looked at the person with vigilance."

Jin Zilai was stunned: "You said... dog?"

Wu Xian nodded.

"Yes, dog. My dog once lived in a very dangerous place, so she would be very vigilant every time she saw a stranger."

"Even me, as long as my breath changed slightly, she would be slightly vigilant."

"But that night, when the errand boy came to my house to deliver ingredients, my dog had no vigilance at all, and the people who came to deliver ingredients every day were new faces."

"Could it be that, all along, the errand boy who came to my house was the same person, just that he possessed the ability to change?"

"So I conducted an investigation, got internal data from the delivery company and errand company, compared them, and locked onto a person named Yin Buqu."

Jin Zilai said after a moment of silence: "But I am not Yin Buqu."

"Yes."

After locking onto Yin Buqu's identity, Wu Xian wanted to take action.

So last night, he specially placed an errand order, wanting to lure Yin Buqu to catch him.

But the errand boy who came last night was someone else. As soon as Heigu saw that person, she first bared her teeth, and after careful identification, she took the ingredients. So Wu Xian confirmed that the errand boy was just a disguise of the Nieren.

The Nieren had already completed the expansion of the scope of influence, so naturally, there was no need to go to Wu Xian's house to deliver food every day.

But the ingredients had already been delivered, and Wu Xian couldn't waste them, so he had to invite Han Xiaoying and others to have a big meal.

Jin Zilai said helplessly: "I didn't want to go to your house every day either, but I went to your house to deliver more than a dozen errand orders in a row, and only saw your dog, not your face."

Wu Xian touched his nose.

For those ten days, he was addicted to games and couldn't extricate himself.

"As for finding where you truly live, it's even simpler."

"When you chatted with me that day, you talked about many topics about raising dogs, and you had dog hair on you, as well as a puppy smell that couldn't be washed off."

"Therefore, I confirmed that you must raise a dog, and it's a big dog. So I checked the noise complaints nearby, checked the sanitation workers... In short, I found your approximate living range very easily, and then let my dog find it according to the smell."

"It's just a pity for the wife and children in this skin of yours. I thought they were victims and wanted to transfer them out, but I didn't expect that after I explained my intention, they attacked me like crazy, and even wanting to knock them out was ineffective, so I could only send them to their deaths."

Jin Zilai's face rarely showed a look of sorrow: "What skin, they are my wife and children..."

Speaking of this.

There were no more mysteries.

On Jin Zilai's body, a cloak appeared at some point, and there was an extra candle in his hand.

His tone became incomparably cold.

"Do you know why I spent time discussing how I was discovered with you?"

Wu Xian spread his hands: "You are naturally stalling for time."

Jin Zilai grinned ferociously.

"Pretending to be stupid won't work, and I can't escape. My only way to survive is to take hostages. You are too confident in yourself. In the process of talking to you, I confirmed that the nearest Lotus Juanren is also outside the room. At this distance, you can't escape my palm!"

Huge pressure came from Jin Zilai's body.

Wu Xian could feel that unless he brought out the Yama Post, he would definitely not be this guy's opponent.

But Wu Xian was not panicked at all: "You are wrong. The nearest Lotus Juanren is in the room, and he is closer to you than to me."

Jin Zilai was shocked.

He hurriedly looked up, down, left, and right, but didn't see anyone at all.

Until he noticed that the chair he was sitting on made an abnormal sound.

Pfft! Jin Zilai felt pain in his lower body.

A cold weapon drilled into his body from bottom to top. The thing became larger and larger, expanding inside his body. Before he could respond, it destroyed all his internal organs.

Whoosh! The sofa broke a hole.

A man in a raincoat crawled out of the chair, holding a strange, blood-stained drill in his hand.

Wu Xian stood up hurriedly.

First, he looked at his chair with lingering fear.

Then he looked at Jin Zilai's corpse with some pity.

"You like to open eyes for others, so you dying by being opened eyes yourself should be considered dying in the right place."
