Chapter 2211: Love Trapped in the Cycle of Fate 10

Jin Chen let go of Xie Guan, stepped out from the counter, glanced a few times, and deliberately went around to Han Dong's back.

【Looks, super similar!】

Ling Gun Gun followed along and echoed.

So, as a resident of this building and a delivery person familiar with all the neighbors, what exactly did Zhousan see Wednesday morning that made him flee in such a panic?

Seeing Han Dong put the package on the counter, Jin Chen suddenly placed his hand on his shoulder, not minding at all that Han Dong's raincoat was soaked.

"Buddy, I want to ask you something."

Han Dong froze, blankly turning his head to look at the arm resting on his shoulder, then followed it to see Jin Chen.

"... Huh? Who are you?"

Jin Chen smiled narrowly, "Police."

"..."

Han Dong kept feeling like the auditory hallucination was that of a gangster.

Where does a police officer's questioning manner resemble shaking down protection money?

Behind the counter, Xie Guan stared blankly, used a small knife to open the package, then coldly shifted his gaze, pressing the knife's tip with force.

Is this idiot Jin Chen willing to hug anyone?

"We police are investigating a murder case nearby, and we want to ask you if there are any strange people in this apartment building."

Jin Chen didn't care whether Han Dong believed him, chatting while lowering his eyes to size up the knee hidden in his raincoat, suddenly frowned, and caught a faint scent of medicinal plaster on Han Dong.

"No… I don't think so; I actually don't know either."

Han Dong obviously didn't want to talk to Jin Chen, just tried to step back but was pressed forward, "Hey brother, how about this: I'll go with you to finish delivering these packages, and meanwhile observe the residents."

"If the murderer is really hiding here, even if you get merit as an auxiliary police officer, there's a reward."

Han Dong: "Reward?"

Han Dong's face slightly changed, obviously somewhat moved.

Jin Chen blurted out, "At least twenty or thirty thousand."

"Deal! Let's go together." Han Dong instantly changed his mind.

Thud.

Xie Guan slapped the small knife onto the counter.

Immediately after, Han Dong stared wide-eyed as the usually cold and aloof Xiao Xie grabbed the police officer with a gangster vibe and yanked him into the counter, doing so quite aggressively.

Xiao Xie……so fierce.

Han Dong's gaze drifted, not knowing where to look, eventually fixing on the pile of packages before him.

Behind the counter, Jin Chen smiled, leaning against the cold-drink case, loosely wrapping his arms around Xie Guan's waist, looking down and saying, "What's up, Xiao Guan Xie? Suddenly you're making a move on a beauty."

Xie Guan lowered his voice, gritted his teeth: "Do you want me to stay here alone?"

"... Sigh, just say you want to be with me straight up, I really can't help it."

Jin Chen poked Xie Guan's tense cheek, making a small dent, "Brother's taking you along, don't be angry."

Xie Guan: "..."

Xie Guan turned his face away, expression unchanged, and stepped on Jin Chen's foot.

When preparing to leave, Xie Guan used the convenience store's landline to call Chen Xiao Fei to swap shifts, but after a few rings with no answer, he didn't continue.

The three of them set off mightily to deliver the packages.

—

Having just passed through the first-floor hallway of the convenience store, Jin Chen glanced backward at the corner, after a few moments withdrew his gaze, and faintly furrowed his brow.

How come I always feel like someone is watching me.

"This package is for 104, so it probably isn't the murderer you mentioned… Xiao Jing just has rather odd tastes."

Han Dong said while knocking on the door.

A few seconds later, Jin Chen and the little girl behind the door locked eyes.

【Ahhhhhhh! Host good night!】

Ling Gun Gun covered his eyes and darted into the little black room.

The little girl wore a red dress, her long hair dragging to her ankles, her face pallid to a frightening degree, with dark, heavy circles under her eyes.

At first glance, it's enough to make someone faint.

Xiao Jing didn't speak, just stared at them, her dark gaze fixed directly on Xie Guan and Jin Chen.

"Brother Xie."

Youyou spoke softly, her tone between weeping and complaint: "Who is this person?"

Jin Chen, who was sizing up the room: ……huh?

There's a problem!

We must nip any potential danger in the bud.

Jin Chen stood beside Xie Guan, declaring firmly, "His pursuer."

Xie Guan and Xiao Jing both froze.

Han Dong's eyes showed something odd as he handed the package to Xiao Jing—a doll that looked rather terrifying.

Xie Guan's eyes trembled: "... Jin Chen, don't spout nonsense."

"I'm not joking… ow!"

Jin Chen sidestepped to dodge the doll Xiao Jing threw.

"You little girl have quite a temper." Jin Chen waved the doll in front of Xiao Jing's eyes, "Any objections?"

"..."

Little Jing narrowed her eyes, didn't respond, and her gaze swept over the three of them.

"Stupid."

Didn't even know who they were scolding.

Little Jing snatched the doll and shut the door with a bang.

Han Dong: "……"

It was still the first time being treated like this.

Really, thanks to this person.

"Impolite little girl."

Jin Chen clicked his tongue, then hooked Xie Guan's finger, saying, "Little bro, quite popular."

Xie Guan's palm went numb and tingling, and he jerked his hand away as if shocked, "…Your people skills are too poor."

"Oh, then my love luck should be fine."

Jin Chen nodded.

Xie Guan: "……"

For the sake of the bonus, Han Dong pretended not to hear the flirtation behind him and went upstairs again to knock open the door of 202.

Seeing the door number, Jin Chen became a bit more serious,

【Zero Egg, exchange a few monitors.】

【Great! Miniature monitor exchange succeeded, deducted 200 points!】

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Li! Delivery!" Han Dong, afraid they couldn't hear inside, shouted several times before the door opened.

Jin Chen looked toward the visitor.

Uncle Wang was a sturdy middle-aged man, but perhaps due to his profession, his whole body was always shrouded in an inescapable grim aura, his furrowed brow sweeping over the people behind Han Dong.

Jin Chen smiled at him, his usual laxness instantly becoming much more well-behaved, "Hello, Uncle Wang, I'm a friend of Xie Guan."

"Hello."

Uncle Wang's expression had just eased when, in the blink of an eye, he saw Jin Chen stride past him……

Entered the room.

As if he were the master of this house.

Uncle Wang turned in disbelief, "Young man, what business do you have?"

"Uncle Wang, Xie Guan said you run a funeral vehicle; how's the business? Do you make money?"

Jin Chen's over-familiarity left people speechless; Uncle Wang stared at the young man already seated on the Sofa, but still had no reaction.

"... Not very profitable, just like that."

Jin Chen subtly lifted his eyes, "If someone dies in this apartment building, Uncle Wang, do you also have to handle the corpse?"

Jin Chen pretended to stretch lazily, and coincidentally a corner of the badge from his student ID peeked out of his pocket.

Uncle Wang's face changed instantly, "What do you know?"

This reaction……

Jin Chen stood up, seeming startled, "What? I was just asking, wondering when I could also get into this line of work……"

"Chenzi!!!"

Before Jin Chen's pleasantries were finished, he suddenly heard chasing footsteps in the hallway and Shao Huai's shout.

"Chenzi! You aren't downstairs! Stop that man!"

Only heard a loud boom.

The people in the hallway corridor hadn't reacted yet.

Then they saw the originally lounging Jin Chen on the indoor Sofa rush out, backhand seize the man running down, and easily press him against the railing.

"Holy shit! Who are you!"

Zhao Zu almost fell over, his grim look frightening.

"Hey, buff guy who keeps cats."

Jin Chen applied a bit more force to hold him, waiting for Shao Huai to come down, then honestly said upon hearing it, "I, handsome guy."

Zhao Zu: "……"

Hallway trio: "……"

【They seem to be left speechless by your handsomeness.】
