Volume Two, Chapter 17, Witnesses

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Maybe it was the sound of falling water. Although it made a slight sound, this tiny decibel made the surrounding environment seem quieter. Lu Sheng's chest was rising and falling regularly, and there was no trace of any discomfort under his even breathing.

The sound of snoring perfectly blended into the tranquility.

The soft sunlight shines through the window and directly onto the sofa in the living room. The dust, blessed by fate, finally makes its appearance and begins to dance under the beam. However, more of their companions are far less lucky than them. Perhaps they are hiding outside the beam at this moment and secretly

Sad.

"Brush...swipe..."

With two short sounds, all the dust left the scene in disgrace, and the curtains blocked the light that made them restless, excited, and sad.

Xiao Zhu lowered his head and glanced at Lu Sheng's mobile phone. It had been set to silent mode. The harsh sound caused by Xiao Zhu's forceful pulling of the curtains had no effect at all. Thinking of what happened last night, he did not dare to touch Lu Sheng's phone while he was sleeping.

Sheng called Master again. After much hesitation, he finally came up with a solution. So he took out his cell phone and set the alarm clock.

"Ring...Ring...Ring..."

After the sound rang for a long time, Lu Sheng finally began to toss and turn and move his body. This time, Lu Sheng slept very deeply. It seemed that he had never been so relaxed and had such a comfortable sleep. He didn't want to wake up, sleep

It actually became something that he enjoyed so much.

"Aren't you awake yet? If you ask me, just give him a kick in the butt and he will definitely wake up." Meng Kenan deliberately said loudly and walked out of the bathroom.

Listening to the familiar voice, Lu Sheng finally woke up. He let out a long sigh, concealing his anger at getting up, "Your mouth is like a big trumpet!"

When Xiao Zhu saw that Lu Sheng was awake, he hurriedly came over and said, "Master, let's go to the Golden Age Palace together now."

"Huh?" Lu Sheng took away his arm from his forehead and looked at Xiao Zhu doubtfully.

"You visited and investigated yesterday. One of the two households left behind just called Xiao Zhu and said he had a report." Meng Kenan stood aside and explained to Xiao Zhu.

"Yes!" Xiao Zhu looked at Lu Sheng and nodded in confirmation.

"Okay!" Lu Sheng stretched and sat up from the sofa.

"Master, please remember, there was no one in the house opposite Zhou Xiaodie's house when we knocked on the door. After they came back, they heard from their neighbors that we had been there to ask about the two suspicious people. We didn't leave them yesterday.

Did you know my phone number, so you called me?"

Lu Sheng got dressed while listening to Xiao Zhu's words. The three of them went downstairs and got into the car, driving towards the prosperous Huating.

Along the way, Xiao Zhuzui, who was driving, was not idle, and kept telling Lu Sheng the content of the morning call, "The neighbor's body suddenly appeared in the community, so the family was a little scared, and they didn't come back yesterday."

.”

"They came back to pick up some clothes, and then planned to live in another house for a while. They found out that we had been there, and they said that the day before Zhou Xiaodie died, he seemed to have seen those two people, and then..."

Meng Kenan listened for a long time, turned his head and looked at Lu Sheng, and couldn't help but said, "Then it's inconvenient to say on the phone that your apprentice insists on going home again and must ask you to go with him."

"Of course you have to call me, how can you do it without calling me!" Lu Sheng smiled slightly and said with some relief.

"Oh, I just remembered, why did I let Xiao Zhu drive my car instead of your car? Gas prices are so expensive now!" Lu Sheng pretended to be angry and asked Meng Kenan.

"Who makes him have to come back to you," Meng Kenan deliberately lowered the car seat and stretched his waist comfortably while saying, "We also enjoy the feeling of being picked up and dropped off by a special car!"

As it was approaching noon, there were not so many cars on the road, and the group of three quickly arrived at their destination.

The sun was shining in the sky, and the sky was now cloudless. The prosperous courtyard under the bright light no longer had the mystery of yesterday. Standing in front of this community again, the familiar feeling of déjà vu quietly occupied Lu Sheng's heart again.

Sensory nerves.

Lu Sheng didn't pay too much attention to this feeling. He and Xiao Zhu's wife Meng Kenan quickly entered the community and arrived in front of Zhou Xiaodie's unit. Before they could enter, a young man guarding the door stopped them.

.

He came over and asked, "Are you comrades in the police?"

After getting confirmation from Xiao Zhu, the young man led them and motioned everyone to move forward, "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."

Led by the young man, several of them walked to a small square in the community and sat down in a corner.

The young man smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, comrade police..."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's understandable." Meng Kenan understood the young man's psychology and quickly interjected to ease his embarrassment.

After listening to Meng Kenan's words, Xiao Zhu went straight to the topic, "You said on the phone that you had seen two suspicious people?"

"Well, actually it's not suspicious. It's just two strangers."

Neither Meng Kenan nor Lu Sheng spoke. They both wanted to leave this opportunity to ask questions to Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu glanced at them, turned to the young man and asked, "Why do you remember so clearly!"

"In our community, outsiders are usually not allowed to enter. There are only two households per unit per floor, and there are 16 floors in total. We live on the 15th floor, and everyone goes up and down the elevator, so we are basically familiar with each other."

"The two of them are about the same height, but I only saw one person's face," the young man glanced at Lu Sheng and Meng Kenan, and continued, "He should be older than these two comrades, both of them

I stood in front of her house for a while and then went in."

The young man saw the confused looks on several people's faces and quickly added, "Oh, I happened to be coming home from outside that day, and I happened to bump into them."

Xiao Zhu took out the somewhat blurry screenshot of the video and showed it to the young man, "Can you still remember what that person looks like?"

Taking the photo, the man looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, look at their clothes, it looks like these two people were from a few days ago. If you see them again, you might recognize them."

The young man thought of something again, and then said, "By the way, another one of them has a scar on his forehead!"

Lu Sheng unconsciously glanced at Meng Kenan beside him. Although most of his forehead was covered by bangs, Lu Sheng was sure that there were no scars there.

But vaguely, Lu Sheng had a feeling that if Meng Kenan had another scar on his forehead, he would look more pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Zhu asked, "Then yesterday, no, it was the night before yesterday to early yesterday morning. Did you notice anything unusual?"

"I drank too much that night and didn't know anything when I fell asleep. I didn't know when your police car came at night. It was last morning that my wife told me that my neighbor was dead."

The three of them all glanced at each other, and no one had anything more to ask, so Xiao Zhu stood up and said, "Thank you for your cooperation today. If you think of anything again, remember to call me."
