Chapter 024: Apartment Mystery 2
The thug frowned and looked at the real estate certificate that Li Andy took out, confirming that the handsome man in front of him was really the new landlord. Immediately, he showed a flattering smile and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Landlord!" Do you have anything to do with me? ”
Seeing that the gangsters were reacting to this, Li Andi relaxed a little, politely said that he was investigating all the residents, and said that it was just a routine inquiry.
When the thug heard this, he immediately showed a shocked expression, "What? You say there may be potential criminals on our side?! That's horrible! Before the words fell, the thug showed an incredible expression and said, "You don't think I'm a potential criminal, do you?" I'm poor, but I'm a good man! ”
Chen Chuyao heard the words of the thugs behind Andy Lee, and felt that this person was really anti-customer-oriented, as if he had been discriminated against.
Li Andi didn't have any extra nonsense, and said directly: "Have you noticed anything unusual recently?" Or who do you think might be a potential offender? ”
Seeing that Li Andi spoke so politely, the thug also relaxed, and said with a grin: "Mr. Landlord, don't stand and talk, come into the house and sit down!" ”
Li Andi also wanted to go into the house to check, but when the other party said so, he naturally would not object, so he 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 a little messy, and the bedroom door is also open, and you can see that it is also a mess inside. It seems that the thugs are still sleeping in the bedroom, and the lights are not turned on in the room.
The thugs hurriedly turned on the light, and the whole room could be seen 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.
"You may be seated! Have a seat! ”
The thug said earnestly, and at the same time sat cross-legged on the floor.
Andy Li looked at the shiny cushion and couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.
Chen Chuyao on the side naturally knelt on the cushion, and when Li Andi saw this, he sat on the cushion with his heart.
"Mr. Landlord, what did you just ask me about?!"
The thug asked.
Andy Li patiently repeated the question just now.
"I feel that the husband and wife in room 203 are quite problematic, every time I see them, they have an expression of wanting to eat people, and I don't know where I provoked them!"
"Do you know what they do?" Andy Lee then asked.
The thug shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just occasionally bump into them when I go out, and I basically don't talk much." ”
Chen Chuyao said in his heart, this guy is really a wicked person who sued first, and the husband and wife of 203 must have been disturbed by this person, so they involuntarily leaked a disgusted expression when they met.
"Do you think there are any other suspicious people or things?" Andy Lee asked.
"That's right! and the old lady of 104, staring at others sneakily all day long, making people panic. The thug was speechless, and then said: "And she often brings back some things from outside, and I don't know what they are." Maybe it was stolen somewhere! ”
Andy Li nodded, feeling that what the little gangster said was somewhat consistent with the old woman, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The thug shook his head and said: "No. 103 seems to be a college student who has just graduated, working from 9 to 5 every day, I haven't seen it a few times, I feel like an honest person!" I basically can't touch the others, and even if I do, I don't know which room it is. ”
Although the thugs didn't say any useful information, Chen Chuyao still carefully recorded all the information. I think this little gangster lives in room 204, and when he goes out or goes home every day, he should meet the people in rooms 103, 104 and 203 adjacent to his room.
"That's right, because I sometimes come home late!" The little thug suddenly thought of something, so he 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 it homeowner coming home? ”
Andy Lee asked.
"It's definitely not the owner, I know that room 106 is a big beauty, but the sneaky person is a man!" The thug recalled, "That's right! I saw him carrying a big bucket last night, and when he saw me, he ran away in a panic. ”
"Do you see each other's faces?" Andy Lee then asked.
The thug shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly! But judging by that guy's reaction, there must be a ghost in his heart. ”
Li Andi and Chen Chuyao coincidentally thought of the old woman's residents 202 and 305, who had a very close relationship with the wine girl, maybe they secretly went to room 106 late at night to do something unscrupulous, and were seen by the thugs who returned late at night.
Li Andy didn't continue to ask about Room 106, but changed the conversation and asked, "Do you live here by yourself?" ”
"I live here by myself!" The thug looked around for a moment, then said, "Occasionally bring a friend back!" ”
"What do you do?"
Andy Lee knows that the other party can choose not to say personal information, but most people with a clear conscience will not deliberately hide it.
"I usually work part-time jobs, and my friends help introduce me." The little thug didn't hesitate, and said bluntly: "When it's okay, I'll stay at home." ”
"What kind of work does a part-time job mean?" Andy Lee continued to ask calmly, unable to see the change in mood.
"It's all trifles that no one wants to do!"
The thug said with a grin, as if he had a somewhat smug expression.
Chen Chuyao guessed that what the gangsters were talking about was helping some illegal societies to do some gray work.
"May I take a look at your room?"
"Yes! Just look at it! "The thugs still don't care.
So, Li Andi and Chen Chuyao checked the dirty and messy room of the gangsters together, and did not find anything suspicious.
Then, Andy Li and Chen Chuyao left room 204.
"Chu Yao, what do you think?" Andy Lee asked.
"I think if the occupant of No. 204 is a potential offender, it probably has something to do with his job." Chen Chuyao replied seriously: "At present, there is no conflict between him and the people in the apartment!" On the contrary, others have a grudge against him. ”
Andy Li nodded and said, "It's hard to convince the jury with the information we have now!" ”
Chen Chuyao also thought so, and nodded.
Normally, the Crime Architect of the Pre-Search Division will prepare a Crime Architecture Report based on the information found in the Crime Index Early Warning Area.
The report will indicate who the potential offender is and explain why.
Nowadays, people who have been identified as potential criminals are not directly tried and imprisoned, or even killed when they are caught, as is the case in the era of big data.
Instead, they will be deprived of their privacy, and not only will everything they have done in the past be controlled by the police, but their future lives will also be under 24-hour surveillance to ensure that potential offenders do not have any chance of committing crimes.
The process of the crime structure also applies to current offenders who have already committed an offence.
Chen Chuyao knew that it would be difficult to write a convincing crime structure report with the information currently available.
"Let's survey the other residents first and gather more information! If you still feel that Resident 204 is the most suspicious, I can send someone to follow him 24 hours a day to collect evidence! Li Andi thought for a moment and then said.
Chen Chuyao is not very clear whether Li Andi is referring to sending people to follow the suspects, whether he is referring to the members of the pre-search section 1, or whether he is paying unofficial personnel to carry out surveillance. Chen Chuyao guessed that the latter was more likely.
Then Chen Chuyao and Li Andi went to the 203 and 304 rooms respectively, but no one was at home, and the suspicion of these two households was directly ruled out.
So, Chen Chuyao and Li Andi came to Room 303, the last household of Gate 2.
After Andy Li called the door, he waited for a while, knocked on the door several times repeatedly, and then someone came out to open the door.
A young man in a black sweatshirt who looked a little languishing opened the door and asked weakly, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Andy Lee explained the intention.
"I don't know anything!" The young man said calmly: "I've been in the metaverse, and I went offline when I heard you call the door." ”
The metaverse is a collective term for immersive and somatosensory games, and is a large-scale online community that integrates all immersive somatosensory games. After wearing somatosensory devices, players' consciousness can immerse themselves in the metaverse community to socialize and play.
Andy Lee asked the same question as before.
"I don't know my neighbors well!" The young man said embarrassedly: "I usually stay at home and don't go out much. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. ”
Then Andy asked about the family.
"I live here by myself, and my parents call me on time for my living expenses!" The young man paused and then continued, "I told my family that I was here to prepare for the exam. ”
"Can we come into your room and have a look?" Andy Lee asked.
"Oh! Come in. The young man was stunned for a moment, then politely opened the door.
After Li Andi and Chen Chuyao entered the room, they briefly checked it. It's a typical otaku room, it's cleaner and tidier than expected, and the room is full of figurines, comics, and video games-related things, and nothing unusual is found.
Li Andy briefly explained that if there was any special situation, he could contact him, and left room 303.
"It seems that there is nothing suspicious about the residents of 303."
Chen Chuyao said to Li Andi beside him while walking downstairs.
Li Andi nodded and said, "At present, he really has no motive. ”
Because the crime index warning mechanism is that potential offenders have the highest probability of committing crimes in the predicted area, which means that there is a high probability that the crime that may occur will occur in this apartment. Both felt that the 303 resident, who did not interact with other people, was unlikely to commit a crime within the confines of the apartment.
"I wonder how the team leader is investigating?" Chen Chuyao continued.
"Let's continue to go to Gate 3 for investigation!" Andy Li followed and said: "Maybe the team leader has also checked the residents of Gate 3......"
