Chapter 2221: Love Trapped in the Fate Loop 20

Han Dong limped forward, walked a bit, and appeared relatively calm.

"I just delivered a parcel to Uncle Chen, found no one at his place, Aunt Zhao said Master Song didn't come on time to fix her TV, and that's when everyone got worried."

"You don't understand." Old Master Wang's grim face now looked somewhat tragic, "If we can't find Old Chen and don't go look, even if he dies, no one will find his old bones."

"Even if he dies, no one will discover..." Old Master Wang wiped his face, "Old Chen has lived a hard life..."

Shao Huai and Xu Yi came down, having prepared to resist them.

But they never expected it to be like this.

The two stood frozen in place, unable to go up or down, forced to listen to Master Song and Old Chen's past, feeling increasingly suffocated and oppressed.

During this, Dot's occasional sobs interspersed, in the dim, deathly corridor, it seemed even breathing was hard to continue.

"Old Chen..."

Aunt Li shouted urgently, voice trembling, "Tell us where you are so we can call out and come find you."

In an instant, Xu Yi recalled Old Chen bound in Room 306, couldn't hold back the rising emotion, and shut his eyes tightly.

Shao Huai grabbed his hand, throat rolling, "We... really don't know, why don't... why don't we also go look together? As long as we don't leave this building, nothing will happen, right?"

Shao Huai observed each of their expressions, seeing no guilt, only despair and worry weighed down by fate's hardship.

At this moment, Room 501.

Knowing Shao Huai's side probably couldn't hold out long, Jin Chen also really didn't want to refresh back to Monday, and he and Xie Guan rushed in at high speed.

"Damn!"

Chen Xiao Fei was originally aggressive, thinking someone was smashing the door, but seeing Jin Chen he panicked, retreated hastily, and turned to rush to the kitchen for a knife.

Whoosh!

The dagger grazed Chen Xiao Fei's shoulder and lodged firmly into the kitchen door.

"What are you running for?"

A lax, low voice came from behind.

Chen Xiao Fei: "..."

Chen Xiao Fei went thud, his knees giving way as he knelt.

"You... you guys aren't done yet!"

Chen Xiao Fei trembled as he turned his head and glared, "You took Zhou Jin away, are you going to take me too?"

"No arrest, there's no spot for you," Jin Chen said.

"..."

Chen Xiao Fei's pupils quaked.

Xie Guan's mouth twitched slightly, he got to the point: "You've taken many photos of this building, show us the pictures."

Chen Xiao Fei: "Huh?"

He struggled to stand with weak legs, "No... you won't kill me? Just look at the photos?"

Jin Chen: "Give you two minutes, after that I'll change my mind."

"Holy shit! No way! It's just photos, look... just look."

Chen Xiao Fei rushed into the room to get the memory card and computer, as he opened the drawer his back stiffened for a moment, he gritted his teeth and shoved one card into the corner, picking up the outermost one.

The next second, he was pressed against the wall.

Jin Chen easily seized Chen Xiao Fei with one hand, the other hand opened the drawer, "You kid, you don't value your life, daring to bluff me now."

"... Ah pain!! Let me go! Let..."

Chen Xiao Fei twisted in pain, turning his head he could only watch helplessly as Xie Guan inserted the memory card into the computer.

Xie Guan glanced at Chen Xiao Fei, lowered his eyes and quickly scanned the photos, his expression suddenly went blank, then visibly froze.

Jin Chen: "... What did you see?"

"... Fuck."

Xie Guan muttered a curse under his breath, pointing the laptop at Jin Chen.

Jin Chen was dazed for a moment by the screen-full of reduced voyeuristic images.

"You..."

Jin Chen punched Chen Xiao Fei, "You bastard hid this so well, are you doing covert filming? Do you have any shame!"

"... Ah! Fuck! How am I shameless! I like her, I'm pursuing her, taking a few photos isn't illegal, is it?!"

Jin Chen snorted coldly, then threw another punch.

"If it's not illegal, why hide it? You're so guilty yet still stubborn."

"This is also a resident of the building."

Xie Guan closed the photos, "Wu Meiling from Room 705."

"I don't like her anymore, yet you're still standing up for Wu Meiling, thinking she's some kind of good person?"

Chen Xiao Fei was furious and flustered; after his fear and guilt were exposed, shame and anger welled up spontaneously.

He practically spoke without filter.

In the end, he was still scared of being beaten by Jin Chen, while saying Wu Meiling wasn't a good woman, he spilled everything he knew.

Jin Chen asked some information about the residents here, then got straight to the point.

"Was it you who wanted to abuse and kill Zhao Zu's kittens, or did someone pay you to do it?"

Only this question made Chen Xiao Fei startle, glancing toward the balcony, hesitating a few moments, then finally uttering a name.

"I know you're not simple; maybe you want to investigate that previous incident. Anyway, I clearly said it's unrelated to me, and the police before kept coming back and forth asking me many times."

Chen Xiao Fei licked his teeth and spat, "When things just happened, I had only moved in less than a month ago, I even thought it was bad luck."

Just after closing the door of Room 501, Jin Chen saw a figure standing at the corner of the sixth floor, startled he narrowed his eyes to look, then Youyou glanced toward Xie Guan beside him.

"How come this girl is so scary?"

Xie Guan didn't even look over, yet he knew who Jin Chen was talking about, "I don't know, not familiar."

"You're not even familiar and you still call him Brother Xie." Jin Chen hadn't forgotten that.

Xie Guan: "……"

Xie Guan pressed his lips, a bit more patient, "Everyone calls her like that."

Xiao Jin wore a white dress, still with that empty, dark gaze, only this time the corners of her lips slightly lifted.

It seemed as if she were saying: "I've discovered your secret, you know."

Xiao Jin walked downstairs, her frail body swallowed by the floor-length white dress; she wasn't short, yet she looked like a little girl sneaking into adult clothes.

Jin Chen glanced again, his gaze suddenly fixed; as Xiao Jin drew nearer, he turned sideways to block the corridor.

Xiao Jin stopped, tilted her head in confusion, her empty eyes flickering slightly.

As if they were making eye contact.

Xie Guan frowned imperceptibly, "Jin Chen, you're blocking the way."

【Hey! Host, what are you looking at!】

Ling Gun Gun's invisible hand tried to cover Jin Chen's eyes, 【This gaze is too blatant.】

Xie Guan stared at Jin Chen for a few moments, his eyelashes trembling, not knowing what he was thinking, finally he uttered a sentence.

"Shao Huai and the others are still downstairs, don't delay."

Jin Chen stepped aside without changing his expression, "Please."

Xiao Jin's smile deepened, she turned and went downstairs, "Thank you, brother."

Jin Chen paused slightly, then stepped back even more.

"Xie Xiao Guan, you said earlier that this girl lives alone across from 104, right?"

Xie Guan tried his best to ignore the strange feeling in his heart, but hearing this, he still said in a low voice, "What, you still want to go visit?"

"Hmm… why is there a spark?"

Jin Chen gazed at Xie Guan's brows and eyes, as if understanding, he laughed and hooked his finger, "What are you thinking? We're not investigating the killer?"

"Don't worry! In my heart there's only you."

"……"

Fingertips lightly scratched the palm, the itch seeping into the bone.

Xie Guan belatedly grunted, then felt his reaction was a bit stupid, so he annoyed, hurried downstairs.
