Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 360: The Painter’s Leave Request

Xiao Xing smiled, his youthful face unable to suppress a laugh:"When I was there, I never killed a single middle-aged man."

Zhou Yan continued asking: "Then do you know who killed my dad?"

Xiao Xing: "It was probably someone in the apartment! Anyway, it wasn't me."

Zhou Yan said: "Is your apartment full of psychopaths?! So many murderers?!"

Xiao Xing didn't speak, just smiled.

Next, Li Miguo and Jimmy asked Xiao Xing some other questions.

But Xiao Xing remained silent.

Soon, the police arrived.

The four police officers who came were all very surprised that Zhou Yan's group of three had caught the murderer of Zhou Wu.

After all, examples of people catching the murderer themselves were quite rare.

Especially after catching them, not handling it themselves but handing them over to the police was even rarer.

As Xiao Xing was being escorted out of the apartment by the four police officers and about to be put into the police car.

Xiao Xing suddenly turned his head.

Smiling at the three people at the villa entrance:

"We'll meet again, and by then maybe you'll become part of my collection too."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan sneered coldly: "Wait to be executed by firing squad! Murderer!"

...

Alice Apartment.

A man in his forties but looking like he was in his thirties.

Dressed very fashionably and elegantly came to the first floor looking for Xiao Xing.

He knocked on Xiao Xing's single room door.

But the sound came from behind him.

"Stop knocking, Xiao Xing got caught, taken away by the police."

The man in his forties turned around.

Said: "Taken away by the police? What happened?"

Answering him was the apartment manager Li Chong.

"About one or two hours ago, three police officers came to Alice Apartment, said they were investigating some case, searched room by room, and ended up finding evidence that this security guard Xiao Xing committed murder, so he was taken away."

"Of course, I later contacted the higher-ups and found out those three police officers were fake cops, so this time Xiao Xing was taken away, his fate unknown!"

This man in his forties was called Painter by others.

The time he moved into Alice Apartment.

Was back when Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran saved Fang Xiao.

The kind main personality Jiang Ran returned, discovering he was covered in injuries.

He went out to get bandaged and saw Fang Xiao butchering some large dogs.

He arrived at the entrance of Alice Apartment.

Right at that moment, a white minivan arrived.

Two people got out of the vehicle, new residents.

One was this Painter.

The other was a young man under thirty.

Back then, Jiang Ran's danger warnings were +9 and +10.

At that time, this Painter seemed very familiar with Xiao Xing, the two even hugged each other.

"Really? What a pity, it seems he can't continue his collection journey anymore."

Facing Xiao Xing's possible downfall, this Painter didn't show any sadness.

Then, he walked out of the building with light steps.

After leaving the building, he went to a construction site not far from the apartment building.

This construction site was bustling with construction activity.

He stared at this place, spreading his arms.

Feeling happy:

"When this place is finished building, it will become my new location for displaying my collection."

...

Because the alternate personality controlled the body last night and drank too much alcohol.

And it was baijiu, yellow wine, red wine, all mixed together.

This caused Jiang Ran to feel terrible after waking up during the day, vomiting severely.

He lay in bed for a full day.

Until around 8 PM, he finally had a bit of energy to look at his phone for a while.

Mobile phones are the cheapest entertainment method for poor people.

Other forms of entertainment, for poor people, are unaffordable, no money.

Jiang Ran was a poor person, even though he currently had several hundred thousand in savings.

But this money, while substantial, wasn't really that much either.

He opened WeChat.

Discovered that Manager Xiao Zhang had replied to his message, answering why he was no longer serving as manager.

[Jiang Ran, when I was on a business trip, I went jungle camping with others, but encountered some bastard who set the jungle on fire, I got burned, so I had no choice but to resign from my job, but don't worry, minor injuries, I'll be out of the hospital soon, though after discharge, I can only go find work as a manager at other apartments.]

Seeing this message, Jiang Ran truly didn't expect Xiao Zhang to encounter such a thing.

Therefore, he replied: [Okay, as long as you're healthy, there are too many psychos in society nowadays, I hope all these psychos get arrested!]

Suddenly, Jiang Ran remembered the jungle arson case he encountered on Macedonia Island.

He felt he and Manager Xiao Zhang really had fate, both encountering jungle arson.

After thinking about this, he opened an AI software called Doubao.

This is an AI software under TikTok.

In recent years, AI seems to be a major trend.

AI software like Doubao keeps emerging endlessly.

But Jiang Ran uses these AI software, only treating them as useful search engines...

As for AI, what he's more familiar with are various AI face swaps of female celebrities...

He opened Doubao.

Entered in Doubao: [What equipment is needed for mountain climbing?]

Jiang Ran hadn't forgotten about the mountain climbing trip one week later.

So he needed to prepare in advance.

Soon, Doubao searched hundreds of sources of information and summarized a series of equipment for Jiang Ran.

For example: anti-slip hiking boots, quick-dry clothes, large-capacity hiking backpack, sufficient water and food, etc...

Thinking about it, he didn't have any of these things at home.

Could only buy them online and have them delivered.

The mountain climbing equipment Jiang Ran bought from the online mall were all very cheap items.

After all, he wasn't climbing Mount Everest.

And people climbing those kinds of places, any single piece of equipment they wear costs several months' salary for ordinary people.

Although he bought all cheap equipment, after purchasing everything, it still cost him over a thousand yuan.

After handling this, he went online to search.

That big mountain in Beicheng City called Qingfeng Mountain.

That big mountain has an elevation of over a thousand meters.

Not famous at all.

Therefore, it's not a scenic area that charges fees.

Only one mountain path going up and down, leading straight to the summit.

Jiang Ran looked at it, felt that big mountain called Qingfeng Mountain was nothing special, and turned off his phone.

Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

What was it?

Oh, remembered, the leave request letter.

"New brooms sweep clean, who knows how long they'll keep bothering me. When I asked for leave from Xiao Zhang, I just needed to say it."

Jiang Ran wobbled out of bed.

Found a pen and paper.

Casually wrote a leave request letter.

After that, wearing his pajamas.

Took the elevator to the first floor.

After exiting the elevator, went straight to the management office.

Arriving outside the management office, this was also Jiang Ran's first time seeing this new manager named Li Chong.

Average looking, quite young, but with a gloomy dead fish face, as if everyone owed him a million.

At the same time, the moment he saw this person, the Danger Warning System sounded in his mind again.

[Ding! Detected dangerous person! Please distance yourself quickly! Points +5! Points +5!]
