Chapter 024: Apartment Mystery 2
The gangster frowned and looked at the property certificate that Li Andi took out, confirming that the serious and handsome man in front of him was really the new landlord. He immediately showed a flattering smile and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Landlord! What do you want to see me for?"
"
Seeing this reaction from the gangster, Andy Li relaxed a little and politely said that he was conducting an investigation on all the residents and that it was just a routine inquiry.
When the gangster heard this, he immediately showed a shocked expression, "What? You said there might be a potential criminal here?! That's really scary!" After finishing his words, the gangster showed an incredible expression and said: "You don't think you think it's possible?
Am I a potential criminal? Although I am poor, I am a good person!"
Chen Chuyao heard what the gangster said behind Li Andi, and felt that this man was really good at turning against customers. He spoke as if he had been discriminated against.
Andy Li didn't have any unnecessary nonsense and said directly: "Have you noticed anything unusual recently? Or who do you think may be a potential criminal?"
Seeing that Andy Li spoke so politely, the little gangster relaxed and said carelessly: "Mr. Landlady, stop standing and talking. Come in and sit down and talk!"
Andy Li originally wanted to enter the room to check, but since the other party said this, he naturally would not object and walked into the room.
The layout of the room is exactly the same as that of the old woman's house, except that this room is really messy. The bedroom door is also open, and you can see that it is also a mess inside. It seems that the little gangster was sleeping in the bedroom just now, and the room was not opened.
lamp.
The gangster quickly turned on the light and could see the whole room more clearly. At the same time, he kicked away some debris in the middle of the room, revealing two cushions that could be used to sit on the floor.
"Please sit down! Please sit down!"
The little gangster said enthusiastically, and at the same time he sat cross-legged on the floor.
Andy Li looked at the oily cushions and couldn't help but show a troubled expression.
Chen Chuyao on the side knelt down and sat on the cushion naturally. When Andy Li saw this, he followed suit and sat on the cushion.
"Mr. Landlady, what did you ask me about just now?!"
asked the little gangster.
Andy Li patiently repeated the question just now.
"I feel like there's something wrong with the couple in room 203. Every time I see them, they always look like they're trying to eat someone. I don't know where I offended them!"
"Do you know what they do?" Andy Li then asked.
The gangster shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just bump into them occasionally when I go out, and I barely talk to them."
Chen Chuyao thought to herself, this guy is really a villain who complained first. The couple in 203 must have been disturbed by this person, so they could not help but show disgust when they met.
"Do you think there are any other suspicious people or things?" Andy Li asked.
"That's right! There's also the old lady from 104. She stares at others furtively all day long, which makes people panic." The gangster gasped frequently, and then said: "And she often brings something back from outside, so big
I don’t know what the package is. Maybe it was stolen from somewhere!”
Andy Li nodded, feeling that what the gangster said was consistent with the old woman, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"
The gangster shook his head and said: "No. 103 seems to be an office worker who has just graduated from college. He works nine to five every day. I have only met him a few times. He feels like an honest person! I basically can't come into contact with other people, even if I meet him
I don’t even know which room it is in.”
Although the little gangster didn't give any useful information, Chen Chuyao still carefully recorded all the information. She felt that this little gangster lived in Room 204. When he went out or came home every day, the things he encountered the most were those in his room.
There are people in rooms 203 and 103 and 104 nearby.
"By the way, because I sometimes come home very late!" The little gangster suddenly thought of something, and then continued: "A few times when I went home late at night, I encountered someone sneaking in and out of Room 106!"
"Do you know that person? Is the homeowner home?"
Andy Li asked.
"It's definitely not the owner of the house. I know that there is a beautiful woman living in room 106, but the sneaky person is a man!" The gangster recalled: "By the way! I saw him carrying a big one last night.
Bucket, he also saw me at that time and ran away in a panic."
"Have you seen the other person's face clearly?" Andy Li then asked.
The gangster shook his head and said, "I didn't see clearly! But judging from that guy's reaction, he must have something up his sleeve."
Andy Li and Chen Chuyao coincidentally thought of the residents No. 202 and No. 305 who the old woman said had a close relationship with the bartender. Perhaps they secretly went to Room 106 late at night and did some dirty things, and were seen by the gangsters who returned late at night.
Andy Li did not continue to ask about room 106, but changed the topic and asked: "Excuse me, do you live here by yourself?"
"I live here by myself!" The little gangster looked around and then said, "Occasionally I bring friends back!"
"May I ask what you do?"
Andy Li knows that the other party can choose not to disclose personal information, but most people with a clear conscience will not deliberately hide it.
"I usually do some part-time work, and my friends helped introduce me." The gangster said straightforwardly without hesitation: "When nothing happens, I will stay at home."
"What kind of work does part-time work mean?" Andy Li continued to ask calmly, with no change in mood.
"These are trivial tasks that no one wants to do!"
The little gangster said carelessly, seeming to have a somewhat proud expression.
Chen Chuyao guessed that the gangster was helping some illegal societies to do some gray work.
"Can I see your room?"
"Okay! Watch as you like!" The little gangster still looked nonchalant.
So Andy Li and Chen Chuyao checked the dirty and messy room of the gangster together and found nothing suspicious.
Then, Andy Li and Chen Chuyao left room 204.
"Chu Yao, what do you think?" Andy Li asked.
"I think if the resident in No. 204 is a potential criminal, it is likely to have something to do with his work." Chen Chuyao replied seriously: "At present, it seems that he has no conflict with the people in the apartment! Instead, other people are hugging him.
There is resentment."
Andy Li nodded and said: "It is difficult to convince the jury with the information we have now!"
Chen Chuyao thought so too and nodded.
Normally, the Crime Architect of the Pre-Search Section will prepare a Crime Frame Report based on the information investigated within the Crime Index Alert Area.
The report will identify potential offenders and explain why.
Today, people who are identified as potential criminals will not be directly tried and imprisoned as in the big data era, or even directly killed when they are arrested.
Instead, they will be deprived of their right to personal privacy. Not only will everything they have done in the past be known to the police, but their future lives will also be under 24-hour surveillance, ensuring that potential criminals will not have any chance to commit crimes.
The process of criminal structuring is also applicable to current offenders who have committed crimes.
Chen Chuyao knows that it is difficult to prepare a convincing crime structure report with the information currently available.
"Let's investigate other residents first and collect more information! If we finally feel that resident No. 204 is the most suspicious, I can send someone to follow him 24 hours a day to collect evidence!" Andy Li thought for a moment and then said.
Chen Chuyao was not sure whether Li Andi's statement of sending people to follow the suspect meant members of the Pre-Search Section 1, or whether he was paying unofficial personnel to conduct surveillance. Chen Chuyao guessed that the latter was more likely.
Then Chen Chuyao and Li Andi went to rooms 203 and 304 respectively, but no one was home, so these two households were directly ruled out as suspects.
So, Chen Chuyao and Li Andi came to Room 303, the last house at Gate 2.
After Andy Li called the door, he waited for a while and knocked several times before someone came out to open the door.
A young man wearing a black sweatshirt who looked a little depressed opened the door and asked feebly: "Who are you looking for?"
Andy Li explained his intention.
"I don't know anything!" the young man said calmly: "I have been in the Yuan Universe, and I only got offline when I heard you call me."
The Metaverse is a general term for immersive and somatosensory games. It is a large online community that integrates all immersive somatosensory games. After wearing the somatosensory device, the player's consciousness can enter the Metaverse community immersively to socialize and play games.
Andy Li asked the same question as before.
"I'm not familiar with my neighbors!" The young man said sheepishly: "I usually stay at home and don't go out very much. I haven't noticed anything unusual."
Then Andy Li asked about his family.
"I live here by myself, and my parents pay me my living expenses on time!" The young man paused and continued: "I told my family that I was preparing for the exam here."
"Can we go into your room and have a look?" Andy Li asked.
"Oh! Please come in." The young man was startled for a moment, then politely opened the door to the room.
After Andy Li and Chen Chuyao entered the room, they briefly checked it. It was a typical otaku's room, cleaner and tidier than expected. The room was full of figurines, comics, and things related to video games, and nothing unusual was found.
The place.
Andy Li briefly explained that if there was any special situation, you can contact him, and then left room 303.
"It seems there is nothing suspicious about the residents of No. 303."
Chen Chuyao walked downstairs and said to Andy Li next to her.
Andy Li nodded and said: "At present, it seems that he really has no motive."
Because the crime index early warning mechanism is that potential criminals have the highest probability of committing crimes in the predicted area, which means that possible crimes will most likely occur in this apartment. Neither of them feels that they interact with other people very much.
Resident No. 303 is very unlikely to commit a crime within the confines of the apartment.
"I wonder how the investigation by the team leader and others is going?" Chen Chuyao continued.
