Perfect Tenant

The next few days were spent peacefully and even peacefully.    

Chen Yiyao and I went to the police station a few times to cooperate with Ma and Captain Liu's investigation.    

Without the killers' pursuit, I felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from my heart and I felt much more relaxed.    

However, I still didn't dare to let my guard down.    

Because, after a few days, I still couldn't find any clues about Xia Huan. I only found out from Captain Liu's investigation that the captured assassin and Xia Huan belonged to the killer group called the Jiuge.    

This organization is very mysterious. I heard that it was established in the 1980s and has carried out many assassinations. It has always been active in the dark world. As long as the employer is rich, they can even assassinate the head of the country.    

However, this organization was very secretive. The police had never been able to investigate it. Many years ago, the country even sent members of the Dragon Breath's special forces to investigate, but they didn't find any clues. It could be seen that this killer group was very resourceful.    

Even Xia Huan's name was investigated by Ma and Le Mengqian. It was a fake name.    

The so-called "home" that she brought us to last time was actually a village family that she paid to hire.    

This was also the reason why I saw her "father" behaving very strangely back then.    

That old couple's family conditions were very difficult. After receiving ten thousand dollars from Xia Huan, they were overjoyed and did not know anything about Xia Huan at all.    

As for the killer, he was even more tight-lipped. Until now, he had not said anything in front of the police.    

Now, he was sent to the detention center to wait for the trial.    

The police had also investigated the temple on the Heavenly Burial Mountain and did not find anything.    

Those monks only treated the killers as ordinary devotees. They ate and lived with the teachers in the temple every day, and did not do anything unusual.    

Therefore, these monks were innocent people who did not know anything. The killers used this to find a place to hide.    

However, in the end, the police still found some information about the killers.    

The killer's original name was Zheng Hui. He was from the North West Province's T City. His parents passed away one after another when he was in junior high. Then, he worked in society. He worked in construction workers, network managers, mechanical workers, waiters and delivery workers. He had done all sorts of jobs.    

Ten years ago, when he was a delivery man, he had a conflict with a guest. He was complained by a guest and stabbed the other party in anger. He was sentenced to six years and three months. Because of his good performance, he was released after four years in prison.    

However, when he came out of prison, it was as if he had vanished into thin air. In the past few years, he could not find any more information about him.    

It was really hard to imagine what Zheng Hui had experienced after he got out of prison. Now, he had become a member of the Jiuge, killer group, and even possessed an extremely powerful killing technique.    

It was impossible to find any clues from Zheng Hui now. The only hope now was to find Xia Huan and open up the tip of the iceberg of the Jiuge and killer group.    

I think that even if we capture Xia Huan, we will have to face the same result as capturing Zheng Hui.    

No matter what, the words Zheng Hui said to me when he was captured was still fresh in my memory. This is also the most important reason why I don't dare to let my guard down.    

I really don't understand. I'm just a commoner who lives by renting a house. I only went to the capital two months ago and was chosen by Director Zhang. I played an insignificant role in his new movie. Why would the Jiuge, killer group, set their eyes on me?    

These few days, when I was cooperating with the police to investigate, the police also wanted to find out who I offended. The other party must kill me, but so far, they still haven't found out the result.    

Helpless, the police had no choice but to put me aside and focus on searching for Xia Huan.    

Chen Yiyao and I still live in the rented house, because we can enjoy the small world between the two of them. Furthermore, Chen Yiyao is more convenient to go to and from work.    

On Saturday, Chen Yiyao was resting at home. She actually made a suggestion to invite Le Mengqian to dinner. She asked me to call her and ask if she was free tonight.    

"Invite Le Mengqian to dinner? No, no, it's better not to treat her." I quickly said. When I thought of Le Mengqian's cold expression, I felt uncomfortable all over.    

"After all, she stayed with us for a period of time and can be considered a friend. Furthermore, she did a lot of work in your case and saved your life. If it wasn't for her, I reckon that the killer who was chasing after you is still at large. Of course, I will treat her to a meal. You can just call her."    

"If I want to call you, I won't call anyway." I said firmly.    

"Then don't sleep in my room tonight. Find a room to sleep in." Chen Yiyao said calmly.    

I smiled bitterly and could only take out my phone to call Le Mengqian.    

After a long while, the call was answered.    

Le Mengqian on the other end said coldly, "What is it? Speak."    

"Nothing much. I just want to ask if you are busy with work." I tried my best to calm down.    

"Thank you. I'm fine. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."    

"Wait a moment!" Hearing Le Mengqian's tone of wanting to hang up, I quickly said, "Yiyao asked me to call you and said that she wants to treat you to dinner. She asked if you are free tonight."    

"Help me say thank you to her. I have other things to do tonight. I am really sorry." Le Mengqian coldly rejected.    

I laughed. "It's best not to go."    

"What did you say?" Le Mengqian's dissatisfied tone came from the other end of the phone.    

"Nothing. I'll hang up first and tell Yiyao."    

"I suddenly changed my mind." Who would have thought that Le Mengqian would suddenly say, "What time is it at night? Which restaurant? I'll be there on time!"    

"Don't you have something to do?" I blurted out.    

"I'm fine now."    

I could tell that Le Mengqian deliberately wanted to anger me.    

"Okay, I know. Wait for my call," Le Mengqian said. I hung up the phone gloomily.    

Chen Yiyao, who was standing at the side, asked, "Is she free?"    

"I was originally not free. Sigh, just blame my lousy mouth. Why did I say that it would be best if I didn't go?"    

Chen Yiyao laughed, "Le Mengqian was the one who saved you. You even looked at her body. Now it seems like there is a great enmity between you and her."    

I have to ask her this. I guess I was her father's killer in my previous life. " I smiled bitterly and teased.    

At 7 p.m., in a seafood restaurant on the street, we met Le Mengqian again.    

Le Mengqian saw that I chose to ignore her and greeted Chen Yiyao instead.    

Chen Yiyao smiled and invited her to sit down. Then the three of them started to order and eat.    

From beginning to end, Le Mengqian did not look at me directly.    

I was too lazy to care about her. Le Mengqian chatted with her and I buried my head in eating my own food.    

Who would have thought that while we were eating, Le Mengqian suddenly stood up from her seat. Her gaze was like a torch and there was a cold glint in her eyes. She then walked straight to the washroom.    

Chen Yiyao and I were stunned for a moment. We originally thought that she was going to the washroom, but who would have thought that she would suddenly shout, "Stop, don't run!" Then she rushed to the bathroom.
