Chapter 3: Turnaround

Panic flashed across Zhang Yichi's face. He looked around, seeing the blood that couldn't be cleaned off the walls, the bodies that had not yet been hidden in the living room...

No matter who the person is, they must not be let in!

He forced himself to regain his composure and stood up to see who was coming through the peephole.

"Hello, express delivery." A voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Yichi breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it wasn't an acquaintance who came to see him. Since it was a courier, he simply pretended that he was not at home. The door must not be opened because the blood stains were too conspicuous. He was not going to try to let the courier take care of him.

Leave the express delivery at the door. If the other party insists on signing face to face, or leaves some other abnormal impression, the gain outweighs the loss.

After making this decision, Zhang Yichi sat motionless on the sofa, waiting for the courier to leave. Within a few dozen seconds, the doorbell stopped ringing, but he still did not hear the courier coming downstairs, so he did not act rashly.

Suddenly, a pure music ringtone rang! It turned out that the courier thought he was really not at home, so he called!

Zhang Yichi hurriedly went to get the mobile phone on the coffee table. He subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone, but he immediately controlled himself.

He has created the illusion that he is not at home. Although the ringing of the phone will definitely be heard by the courier outside the door, the ringing of the phone cannot be used as evidence that he is at home. On the contrary, once he hangs up the phone, the illusion of not being at home will be lost.

Self-destruction.

After careful consideration, Zhang Yichi put down his phone and stared at the screen.

For more than ten seconds, the call was not answered, so the courier hung up the phone. After a few seconds, he called again, but still no one answered. Soon, Zhang Yichi heard the courier coming downstairs.

.

"Huh..." With a long sigh of relief, Zhang Yichi stood up and went to the small bedroom where the sundries were kept. He stood sideways by the window and looked down.

Not long after, the courier walked out of the unit door, scratched his head and looked puzzledly at the sixth floor where Zhang Yichi was. Worried about being seen by the courier, Zhang Yichi retracted his head. At the same time, he saw the person who was illuminated by the light.

A bright living room.

His heart was lifted again.

No wonder the courier was puzzled! It turned out that he forgot to turn off the light! The cell phone rang in the room, and the light in the living room was still on. There were too many things that couldn't be explained. Zhang Yichi made a quick decision and took out his cell phone to the courier.

Called back.

"Hello?" Zhang Yichi said as he walked towards the living room, found the key and put it in his pocket.

"Is it Mr. Zhang? I just arrived at your house to deliver a courier to you. Why is no one opening the door?" the courier said doubtfully.

Zhang Yichi walked to the door and started to change his shoes: "I just went to bed, and then I woke up and saw the missed call. Have you gone far?"

"No, I just came downstairs."

"Sure, wait for me, I'll go downstairs to get it." Zhang Yichi put on his shoes, opened the door and went downstairs.

The courier quickly said: "No, no, I'll just go up there again." With that said, the courier walked into the corridor again.

Of course Zhang Yichi was not really polite. He went out deliberately just to keep the family secret.

Soon, the two met in the corridor. The courier handed the receipt slip to Zhang Yichi. After Zhang Yichi signed his name, he took a package of express delivery and went upstairs.

After entering the house, Zhang Yichi opened the express delivery and found a pair of new shoes. He opened the shoe cabinet and prepared to put the shoes in, but the shoe cabinet was already full.

It seems that his predecessor was a person who loved shoes. Zhang Yichi thought, and then tidied up the shoe cabinet, making room to stuff these shoes in. Then, Zhang Yichi came to the small bedroom again and stood at the window.

Look from side to side and below.

He had been busy before, but now he finally had time to take a closer look at the situation outside.

This is an old-fashioned community with seven floors in each residential building, and each building has six units. There is a special parking area in front of the building, and in the corner of the parking area, there is a camera with an angle that can just

All six unit doors are monitored.

"Fuck..." Zhang Yi was as relaxed as falling into an ice cellar.

Everything just developed relatively smoothly, so smoothly that he took it for granted. He didn't realize that there were surveillance cameras in this community! The presence of cameras meant that the police could easily find out that Lu Tao came to his house and did not go out.

The presence of cameras meant that he could not transport Lu Tao's body away...

If the blood stains on the wall were a trouble, then the surveillance camera almost directly announced Zhang Yichi's end! He couldn't figure out how to resolve the fatal points created by the surveillance camera for him!

Zhang Yichi returned to the living room and sat down with a gloomy expression. A series of events occurred that made him continue to be shocked. He realized that the difficulty of the tasks assigned to him by the mysterious power was beyond his ability to control. He was unable to control it.

To cope with this kind of situation.

The uncomfortable combination of various feelings made Zhang Yichi feel more uncomfortable than facing death.

After adjusting his emotions again, Zhang Yichi took his mobile phone and the keys out of the door.

Since it is clear that difficulties will not disappear and be solved automatically, it is better not to hesitate and waste time. It is better to seize the time and face it head-on!

The moment Zhang Yichi closed the door to his home, he felt an uneasy feeling of being out of his comfort zone. He took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the residents facing his house. There seemed to be no one living in that house, and the security door did not even have a peephole.

Through the hole in the door where a peephole was to be installed, Zhang Yichi saw that the neighbor's living room had just been laid with tiles and was still in a mess, as if it was being renovated.

Generally, decoration workers will not work too late, because decoration is usually very noisy, and working too late will affect the rest of the surrounding residents. It is already past 8:10, and it is estimated that the decoration workers have got off work before seven o'clock. And I am seven

I woke up after 1pm, so I didn't hear any loud noise outside.

Zhang Yichi recalled the scene where he 'killed' Lu Tao. There were not only his roars and Lu Tao's screams, but also the sound of an electric drill. Originally he couldn't figure out why there was the sound of an electric drill, but now he knows.

When Lu Tao was killed, the house opposite was probably being renovated. Fortunately, the sound of electric drills covered up everything that happened in their house, preventing this horrific scene from being exposed early.

After a brief analysis, Zhang Yichi tiptoed up to the seventh floor of the top floor. There were sundries and shoe mats placed in front of the two anti-theft doors above. It should be that someone lived there. On the other side, there was a steel ladder climbing up to the rooftop.

Unfortunately, the door to the rooftop is locked.

Then he started to go downstairs, checking whether there were any residents on each floor. After grasping this information that was currently unavailable, Zhang Yichi walked out of the unit. He tried to look as casual as possible and began to look towards

One side walks away.

As he walked, he pretended to be bored and looked around, but in fact he was quietly looking at the cameras. When he walked to the main entrance of the community, Zhang Yichi was a little disappointed, because he found that there were cameras in front of every building, which made him think that even if he could

If you try to avoid the cameras in front of their building, they will inevitably be monitored by others.

This huge surveillance network made of cameras has become a haze hanging over his heart, and it is also the most urgent problem he wants to solve now.

He went to the supermarket on the side of the main entrance of the community to buy some instant noodles. Zhang Yichi carried a plastic bag and planned to continue exploring the outside.

The cameras in the community are only limited to the inside. When leaving the community, there are only cameras at intervals on the sidewalks next to the highway.

Zhang Yichi boarded the overpass and arrived at the square opposite the community. Although it was almost 8:30, there was still a large flow of people here and it was very lively. There were already many adults gathering to dance in the square.

He felt that this route had no meaning in exploring, so he walked to the other side, bypassing the square along the sidewalk, and came to the vicinity of another community called Yonghe. To the east of Yonghe Community is a square, and to the west is a long and narrow area.

Zhang Yichi didn't know what was behind the woods. He only walked to the edge of Yonghe Community and did not investigate further.

Zhang Yichi returned from the north of his community with the purpose of taking another look at his middle school.

After checking out several important buildings around him, he entered the community. When he arrived in front of the residential building and entered the unit door, Zhang Yichi suddenly stopped.

He discovered that there was actually a door in the corridor! This door happened to be in the blind spot of his field of vision when he came out, and because he was focused on the camera when he came out, he ignored it!
