Chapter 2552: Rustling Down (47)

Shiler walked to the peephole and looked out, then found that the people standing outside the door were actually Scarecrow and Professor Pyg.

Shiler opened the door and saw that Jonathan and Valentine were still carrying gifts in their hands. He frowned and said, "Didn't you receive the text message that the banquet was canceled?"

"Of course, we received it, but we still decided to come today because we might have things to do in the next few days."

Jonathan walked into the house without treating himself as an outsider. After looking around, he said with some confusion, "Didn't you say there was some accident? The house looks fine."

"That's because I just finished tidying up."

"Tidying up the house? You?" Jonathan looked incredulous.

Shiler couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He was still thinking about how to sew up the big cut on the back of the bat doll. At this time, Valentine walked to the side of the sofa and put the gift box he brought on the table next to it.

"What are you going to do in the next few days?" Shiler asked.

Jonathan snorted coldly and didn't speak. Valentine muttered a few words, and Shiler didn't hear clearly, so he asked again. Jonathan said very impatiently, "Don't ask, can't we have some privacy of our own?"

Shiler narrowed his eyes.

"What's wrong with this thing?" Valentine used his strong arm to lift the bat doll, and it almost didn't get picked up.

"It was scratched. I'm thinking about how to sew it up. It keeps leaking cotton." Shiler walked over and fiddled with the wings of the bat doll and said.

"How to sew it up? Just sew it up with thread, right? Don't you know how to perform surgery?" Valentine said with some confusion.

"I am a psych... well, the Shiler you are familiar with should know how, but I don't."

"Do you have tools here? This kind of ordinary cut can be sewn up in three minutes, guaranteed not to leave a scar."

Shiler thought for a while, he really had a set of surgical tools among the things he brought, so he went upstairs to find things for Valentine.

There is also an advantage to the house not being so big, that is, even if the sound insulation is good, you can still hear a little sound upstairs and downstairs.

"Are we really going to go?" Valentine seemed a little hesitant, his voice came intermittently from downstairs, "... doesn't sound like a good errand... maybe there is still room to..."

"... do you expect those medical insurance expenses? I don't want to move." Jonathan's voice, which always seemed slightly contemptuous, echoed in the house, "Besides, what's the difference who you work for?... anyway, it's nothing big..."

Shiler soon brought the surgical tools, and Valentine directly used the surgical suturing method to sew up the cut on the back of the bat doll.

"Are you going out of town?" Shiler asked.

"We are not your prisoners!" Jonathan said explosively, "Where we are going, what does it have to do with you?! Stop managing us!"

Shiler looked at him with a little disgust and said, "Since you fell into someone else's trap and had to work for the other party, don't talk so high-sounding. You wouldn't want to say you are doing it for freedom, right?"

Jonathan was choked until his face turned red.

"It's not entirely because of the trap." Valentine seemed much more honest. He said, "We stepped into the trap and it was indeed our own fault, but the other party's offer was indeed very high, and we also need to eat."

"Can you shut up?" Jonathan was very dissatisfied with Valentine's dismantling of his platform. He was still finding excuses for himself and said, "How could those childish little traps make us change our minds? We just want to be self-reliant. Is there anything worth mocking about this?"

"That's not true. If you didn't describe this as a 'childish little trap' to cover up, I would really think you were going for the money." Shiler sneered and said.

"What qualifications do you have to talk about me?!" Jonathan was anxious again. He stared at Shiler and said, "Don't think that just because you tidied up the house so cleanly, I don't know what kind of chaos happened here before. Didn't you also fall into a 'childish little trap'?!"

"But that only affected an irrelevant banquet." Shiler said, "I still maintain the freedom you want most."

"You two will win the gold and silver medals in the stubborn mouth competition." Valentine said pointedly.

Both of them were silent.

"I don't understand, Shiler." Jonathan hugged his arms and asked with real confusion, "What on earth are you doing? Why don't you use your mind-reading that is always very clever? Can't you punch someone the first time you notice they are ill-intentioned?"

"I am an ordinary person, I don't know mind-reading."

"Here we go again, my ears are almost calloused." Jonathan rolled his eyes and said, "I admit that our ability is limited and we didn't dodge it. After all, it's not easy for everyone these days. I stayed up for two nights in the chemical factory's laboratory just for that damn project bonus. My head wasn't clear, so it's normal to be fooled."

"But you, you are a well-known psychologist. What on earth made you compromise with these clumsy means? You don't look like you have any intention of letting them see how powerful you are."

"Because I just didn't plan to do that." Shiler said, "You said it yourself, it's not easy for anyone now, can't I live an ordinary life peacefully?"

Jonathan cursed in a low voice, but finally said, "Anyway, I don't believe that with your ability and temper, you would tolerate them dancing on your head."

"I didn't plan to tolerate it, someone has already had bad luck." Shiler said while watching Valentine sew the wound.

Jonathan immediately raised his eyebrows, leaned over with great interest, and said, "I'll count 3, 2, 1, how about we say that name together?"

"Childish little trap." Shiler commented.

"Okay, I admit we need your help, but I don't think that damn Clay will let you go. He has a mysterious list, and all of us are on it."

"What kind of people?"

"Freaks who are on the line between genius and madman." Jonathan was still finding excuses for himself. He said, "It can also be called a high-IQ pervert."

"What did he do to you?"

"Nothing much." Jonathan curled his lips and said, "They added something to my solution, which caused me to lose my job. The boss of the project team couldn't wait to pay less bonus and kicked me out directly."

"Then he came to you?"

"He manufactured a murder case and framed it on me. The means were clumsy. If you saw the scene, you would want to poke your eyes out."

"Then he asked you to be a tainted witness?"

"Of course, he asked me to help him work." Jonathan sighed and said, "Honestly, I don't care much about being framed. The person who died was obviously not simple. If he continued to wander around my house, I would kill him sooner or later."

"But that guy's offer was very high." Jonathan poked his temple with his finger and said, "He not only gave me the bonus for that project, opened an extremely high salary, but also allowed me to advance my salary. You know my house..."

"I heard you bought a house in the East District."

"It's this damn house." Jonathan started cursing again: "After I bought it, the price dropped, but I still have to pay that damn mortgage with high interest. I shouldn't have believed in this dog-raising city..."

"Okay, get to the point." Valentine said, "It's impossible for us to stay in Arkham Asylum forever. I said long ago that we are not crazy."

"More importantly, that broken hospital is too far from all the factories." Jonathan frowned and said, "Now all the factories have moved to the west. Do you want us to drive across half of Cat Getan from the island to work?"

"Then why not stay in the mental hospital obediently?"

"I don't want to repeat the fact that we are not crazy anymore. More importantly, Jack has bought a car and a house, why can't we? And what is the guy upstairs called? Anyway, he is a madman who kills and maims. He even has a girlfriend! And that crocodile, I don't want to talk about it..."

"I just want to be a professor." Valentine said, "Cat Getan University Medical School has passed my recruitment application, only the interview is left, but an accident happened on the way to the interview."

"Then they framed you too?"

"Almost, their dismemberment skills are really too poor. I couldn't bear to look, so I re-dismembered it and was caught red-handed."

"You are simply crazy!" Jonathan denounced.

Valentine sewed silently and didn't speak. Shiler said, "It seems that you can't let go of the temptation of high salary, but you also want to vent your anger, so you came to me."

"That's about it." Jonathan said, "You also know that we don't really care if someone says we are criminals. Besides, such a high salary is not for nothing, but their crime and framing skills are poor to an outrageous degree. I can't allow such a disgusting classic murder case on my criminal record..."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't take the initiative to publish it, there will be no movement in the circle." Shiler picked up the kettle next to him to pour water and said, "As for those ordinary news media, do you care?"

"Anyway, they can't take pictures of our faces." Jonathan curled his lips and said, "That group of people won't let them take pictures either."

After Shiler took a sip of water, he walked over to take the gift box they brought. Jonathan looked a little excited. He said, "Are you going to open the gift? Take a look, this was carefully prepared by us."

"If there is a human head inside, I will blow you all out."

"It won't be that uncreative." Jonathan was very confident.

Shiler opened the outer packaging, and inside was actually a colorful box. He turned the box over and looked at it—"The laundry gift package most trusted by housewives, 6-in-1 efficacy to solve all your laundry problems."

There was also a non-sale label underneath. Shiler turned it around and found that the manufacturer was actually the factory where Jonathan worked.

"Isn't this your company?" Shiler asked with some confusion.

"You actually know where I work?!"

"Didn't you say it yourself?" Shiler looked at Jonathan with eyes looking at a mentally retarded person and said, "You showed off on the chat board that you joined a new company."

"It's not really joining, I am their consultant." Jonathan said, "It's a company that produces laundry products. This is the latest research and development result of our project team."

Shiler opened the packaging box printed with advertising slogans and found a large bottle of laundry detergent, two refill packs, a box of laundry beads, two bottles of stain remover spray, a box of laundry powder, and a pack of care beads.

"This is a sample I took out before I left. It is now on the market and sells very well. This thing can solve the clothing cleaning needs in all scenarios."

Jonathan began to introduce to Shiler, "Laundry detergent is poured into the washing machine to clean ordinary clothes. Laundry beads are used for the care of special fabric clothes and are also added directly to the washing machine, which can ensure that the washing machine will never wash some special fabric clothes badly, and the fragrance is extremely long-lasting."

"Stain remover spray can dissolve any oil stains and things that are difficult to remove with just one spray, especially blood stains, even if they have been left for a long time, it doesn't matter. Laundry powder is used for pre-soaking large-area stains, and can even achieve industrial-grade stain removal effects."

"Care beads are added to the steam iron for steam dry cleaning, which can also ensure that the fabric will not be damaged by steam, and can also be cleaned very cleanly."

Shiler thought for a while, he had been to the night market, the supermarket, killed and dismembered people, and entered and exited the crime scene in the past few days. If his expensive suits were sent to the dry cleaner, it would be another staggering expense.

Very good, it's not just housewives who need this kind of laundry gift package, he also needs it. ===== CHAPTER 2553 =====
