Chapter 66: The Intruder

Although Ridgit is old, he is not old enough to forget to lock the door.

He Ao lowered his gaze and looked at the door handle in front of him. The smart anti-theft lock was not damaged and seemed to have been cracked.

The house that Ridgit rents is a narrow apartment with low rent. The smart lock is not high-end, so it is normal for it to be cracked. The people who live here rarely have any valuables.

He Ao thought for a moment, and instead of moving forward, he pushed the door gently and leaned against the wall next to the door.

The old security door was slowly pushed open, but there was no response from inside the door.

He Ao waited for a moment, and after making sure there was no sound, he slowly stretched out a leg, body, and finally his head.

Nothing happens.

He Ao frowned, and then he slowly walked into the house.

boom--

The sound of the window being opened suddenly came.

He Ao immediately chased after him. When he ran to the window, there was only a figure flying a delta-wing paraglider that quickly disappeared.

Folding smart delta-wing paragliders are not cheap. The FBI combat uniforms are equipped with this kind of paraglider. In an emergency, they can be deployed directly to escape at high altitudes.

It's a pity that Ridgit is not good at using firearms and there are no guns at home, otherwise Heao could try to leave something on that guy's body.

In the short time that He Ao watched, the figure holding the paraglider turned into a small dot and disappeared among the tall buildings.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and turned on the light in the room.

His house is a duplex apartment, divided into two floors. The upper floor is the bed, and the lower floor is the small living room, kitchen and bathroom.

At this moment, the entire small living room was turned into a mess, and all cabinet drawers and lids were opened.

He Ao walked upstairs and found that his bed had also been turned over and messy.

He took inventory of the smart devices and valuables in the house and found that none were missing.

Obviously, the other party is not here to steal anything, but to find something. Ordinary thieves cannot afford such an expensive folding paraglider.

He Ao carefully checked the whole room again, and then he found a dark miniature camera on the cabinet near the door.

This camera is facing the direction of the door and can clearly record the appearance of people entering.

He Ao picked up the camera and looked at it carefully. This camera is a cheap miniature camera produced by Trevina Communications Group.

This kind of camera is very popular in the underground black market of Chenxi City, not only because it is cheap, but also because its system is easy to crack and transform into an anonymous and untraceable 'black camera'.

Obviously, this camera is a ‘black camera’ produced on the underground black market.

He Ao crushed the camera and stared slightly.

He began to review the entire incident. The person who broke into his house was very advanced and did not take any property, which proved that the person was not short of money, but came here for something special.

In a general home invasion, the door will be locked after entering the house, so that when the owner comes back and opens the door, it will remind the intruder and give the intruder time to hide or escape.

While the door is ajar, there is only one possibility: the intruder wants to attract others into the room.

This is also the reason why He Ao made a series of cautious actions just now. He was worried that the intruder would be waiting at the door to attack him.

But the intruder did not attack, but placed a camera at the door.

The function of the camera is very simple. It records the scene and the appearance of the person opening the door.

But if he wanted to record Regit's appearance, it was not necessary, because Regit was the owner of this room and would definitely go home. He could be sure by squatting nearby for a few days or renting a house next door.

Who is the owner of this house? It is not difficult given the financial resources displayed by the intruder.

So what if what he wants to wait for is not Regit, but someone who comes to 'visit' Regit?

When a guest arrives at the door of the host's house, he finds that the hosts are keeping their doors ajar, knocking on the door, pushing the door open, and entering in confusion are all normal actions.

At that time, the camera will record the face of the 'visitor', allowing the intruder observing on the other side to make the next move.

When He Ao deduced this, his thinking got stuck, because he searched all of Ridgit's memories and could not find a 'guest' that met this condition.

Ridgit was immersed in martial arts training and had almost no friends, and among his few friends, no one knew where he lived.

In other words, the 'visitor' does not exist at the beginning of the logic.

Regit will have no visitors at all.

This question could no longer be deduced at this point. He Ao withdrew his thinking and began to think about the meaning behind this matter.

It seems that Regit was involved in some incidents that he shouldn't have been involved in, and might even have taken something he shouldn't have.

He Ao once again recalled Ridgit's recent memories. Until he met the machine gunner, Ridgit's life remained regular and stable. He worked in the library, talked with visitors, and took time to practice martial arts.

Didn't receive anything, not even online shopping.

The elderly basically have no desires, and Regit has no wife or children. His only hobby is martial arts training.

Things got interesting.

He Ao glanced at his bracelet. The time was now 9:17 pm.

In the past, Ridgit had already returned home at this time. The time he met the gangster three days ago was because the volunteer took leave and it was too late to organize the bookshelf. Most of the time, Ridgit had already returned home at this time.

When the other party breaks into the room at this time, is he confident that he will not meet the owner of the room?

Or is it because the other party has stepped on the spot for a long time and is sure that the owner has not come back today?

Or, do you think that the owner of the room will never come back?

Thoughts appeared in He Ao's mind one after another, and these clues were like chaotic threads, intertwined with each other.

He Ao took a deep breath and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He locked the door, organized everything at home, and then contacted the library manager to make sure he could go to work tomorrow.

When all the clues are stuck at key points, opening a new map to find new clues is an excellent way.

——

Early the next morning, He Ao changed into suitable clothes, took the crutches leaning on the bed, put a piece of hair in the crack of the door, and went to the library to work.

He Ao limped to the library with a cane in his hand.

It is now eight o'clock in the morning, and the library opens at nine o'clock, but He Ao has to go to the library first to do a security check, simply clean the library hall, and see if there are any books that were not sorted yesterday, and then it is almost ready to open the door.

By the time He Ao finished everything, it was just half past eight. According to Ridgit's habit, he should go practice dancing for a while at this time.

However, He Ao sat in front of the computer in the library, opened the image search, and uploaded a picture of a symbol.

Those were the words in the 'little book' that he copied.
