Chapter 2226: Love Caught in the Fate Loop 25

306。

The rescued Wu Meiling was still in a state of panic; even sitting on the Sofa she trembled, and from time to time she had to take several deep breaths to ensure she could breathe normally.

She shuddered as she picked up the bottle and gulped it down; only after the strong liquor hit her stomach did she sober up a little, then she suddenly swept her gaze over everyone's faces, finally locking onto Xie Guan.

"You want to know what? I'll tell you everything…… otherwise it'll be too late…… they'll eventually kill me too."

Xie Guan, embraced by Jin Chen, his cold expression eased a little: "Who is the victim in Room 806, and what's the connection to that incident?"

Wu Meiling clung to the bottle, curled up on the Sofa, her gaze gradually sinking into memories.

"You're asking this; you must have learned something from the residents here, right? What did they say?"

Xu Yi said: "They said the deceased was named Sun Liwu, a man, and that woman was his wife."

"Son of a bitch." Wu Meiling grit her teeth and cursed.

"They're talking nonsense."

Wu Meiling lifted her head to look at these youths, coldly saying: "I don't know who Sun Liwu is, but Si Xi Jie… she indeed had a husband before."

"Si Xi Jie is the woman who died in Room 806."

"I was fired a few years ago, couldn't become a shop assistant, and fell into poverty…… Si Xi Jie was still my customer back then; she said… she said she had a place to let me stay, and that's this place."

Saying this, Wu Meiling lifted her hand to wipe away her Tears, choking up: "But it wasn't long before that incident blew up; I was just a tenant, so I was fine, but everyone who bought a unit made a huge fuss… I…"

"I wanted to warn Si Xi Jie, but I saw a crowd surrounding her, scolding her; then…… Si Xi Jie gave me a hard drive, begging me not to give it to anyone, and the next day…… I heard that something had happened in Room 806."

"What's on the hard drive? Have you handed it over to the police?" Jin Chen asked, placing a tissue in front of Wu Meiling.

At this moment, the door of Room 306 was knocked again: "Chenzi! Hurry up and open the door, it's me, I'm about to die, bitten to death…"

When Xu Yi opened the door, he saw Shao Huai and Han Dong, their faces bruised and swollen, drenched head to toe; his gaze swept over them: "You actually haven't fought Han Dong."

"Not at all!" Shao Huai covered his chin, shouting in pain, then shoved the bound Han Dong inside; hearing that, he immediately said: "This kid fights like he doesn't care about his life—I'm the one who's unlucky."

Han Dong fumed: "You guys are tying……"

"Shut up."

Jin Chen's voice was low, showing no emotion, as he glanced over here.

Han Dong fell silent for no reason.

"Go on." Jin Chen looked back at Wu Meiling.

Wu Meiling, interrupted like that, calmed a bit; she couldn't help but glance again at the bound Han Dong, and also at Zhou Jin tied up in the corner.

She fell silent for a moment, then involuntarily sat up straighter.

"The hard drive is in the safe in my room; I don't understand what's inside, police…… I haven't given it to them; if it weren't for today's incident, I might never have told anyone about it."

Wu Meiling dared not think too deeply about who Si Xi Jie's back then "anyone" referred to, or whether handing it over to the police would help the case.

But when she heard that the real estate case had ended with the person in charge jumping to his death, and that the murder case in Room 806 hadn't even been discovered by anyone, she became even more terrified.

"It's me…… I'm too timid; I'm afraid of being targeted by those behind the scenes, I'm afraid to die."

Wu Meiling couldn't help but start to sob.

Xie Guan, presumably inspired, also picked up a dagger and stood in front of Han Dong, coldly staring at him.

Han Dong: "……"

I must die here today!

Everyone's risking their lives!

Zhou Jin advised: "You'd better come forward and confess; they're all gangsters, and there are still two people tied up in that room."

Zhou Jin lifted his chin toward the side chamber, still feeling pleased with himself.

"They're just being locked up, yet they'll also be tortured! Only those who obey and cooperate get food."

Han Dong rolled his eyes at him: "No ambition…… fuck."

The side chamber door opened, and Han Dong indeed saw Chen Bo and Song Gong bound with rope.

He fumed: "Surely it's you who kidnapped them! Before you wouldn't even admit it!"

Xie Guan: "What are you pretending? You're helping the real mastermind; essentially it's also betrayal."

Han Dong choked: "I…… I don't know that much either."

The honest Xu Yi awkwardly wielded an axe, having likewise truly absorbed Jin Chen's teachings: "I relayed Older Sister Wu's words to them, saying the truth would soon come to light, and they indeed couldn't hold back."

For them, the fear in their hearts of the truth being revealed far outweighed death itself.

Perhaps after lingering long at the crime scene they themselves created, even their mentality becomes distorted.

Song Gong and Chen Bo spoke incoherently; when they recalled it again, their words came out haltingly, interspersed with many curses.

Xu Yi barely managed to summarize a 'translation' of their words.

"There really is a person named Sun Liwu, and he really was married to Si Xi Jie……" Xu Yi frowned, forgetting about Chen Bo who had just been shouting curses, "It was Sun Liwu who had them kill Si Xi Jie, saying she was just a black-hearted boss; as long as they killed her they'd get the apartment, plus a fixed extra sum each month…… but that money has been cut off since this year."

Chen Bo and the others, unaware of any accomplices, naturally blamed all the faults on the "guilty" boss who had committed suicide.

But hearing this now, Xu Yi pondered: "Could it be…… that Sun Liwu is actually the person from the other side of the collaboration, who found Si Xi Jie to take the blame?"

"But if that's the case," Shao Huai scratched his head in thought, "who are the current landlord of the apartment building and the mastermind behind the killings?"

Xie Guan took back the dagger he had placed at Han Dong's throat.

He looked at Chen Bo and Song Gong in the side chamber, speaking word by word: "My father may be weak, but he is not a black-hearted businessman, nor did he intend to swindle your money."

"He had arranged the follow-up before his suicide; otherwise this building would have been demolished."

And what about me?

Xie Guan asked himself in his heart.

He glanced sideways, looking toward the approaching Jin Chen, took a deep breath, and said: "I also have no guilt."

Chen Bo stared deeply at him for a long while, then lowered his head, unknown what he was thinking.

The information Han Dong could provide remained vague.

I'm just a messenger who passes messages for money, and I've never even seen the big boss, but… last night, the big boss called me and told me to put on a raincoat and meet him on the rooftop.

Han Dong suddenly shuddered violently, "I went to the rooftop this morning and saw a tall man with his back to me, also wearing a raincoat…… He was holding a knife and had tied up a person—I was terrified."

"Tied up a person? Who?" Jin Chen asked immediately, thinking of the third victim who had not yet appeared.

"I looked from afar, and it seemed to be Granny Xiulan, but she got away…… I also don't know why, that man didn't chase her—instead he chased me!"

The apartment manager, Li Xiulan, has not yet appeared.

Jin Chen frowned, "I couldn't find her before, and I thought she wasn't in the building."

"We need to go find someone."

【Yeah yeah, if someone suddenly dies, we'll have to start random refreshing again.】 Ling Gun Gun deeply agreed.

In response, the door opened, and a miserable scream came from the hallway.

【……Oh, it's definitely not because the Pixiu deity's words become law.】 Ling Gun Gun curled up.

【A jinx is a jinx, what's the point of gilding it.】 Jin Chen slapped it.

The miserable scream echoed throughout the whole building.

Li Xiulan was killed, and Jin Chen rushed to the first floor at a speed beyond ordinary people, once again seeing the killer's back amid the bloody smell,

Silver light supported Li Xiulan's body, holding onto her last breath.

Under that person's nearly astonished gaze, Jin Chen saw the face covered in fur, a bloody face.

Jin Chen: "……"

What's with preparing such a full set for a crime of passion!

Beneath the mask is an even stranger mask, right?

In the hallway stood a little aunt in a red dress, Youyou stood in the corner watching this scene, and not far away came the faint sound of Duoduo's crying.

"Jin Chen!"

From behind came Xie Guan's anxious shout, the killer raised the knife high, about to strike down.

White light flashed.
