Aoba Office

"It's hard to say. There's something behind the door, I..." I couldn't make up my mind.

It was different from the feeling of encountering ghosts several times. It was not the yin energy that Ye Qing said, and it was also different from the sense of crisis that Qingye Office gave me. I just felt that the door I just opened was not an ordinary door. The door lock sound I heard was weird. In addition to the normal clicking sound, there was also the sound of metal clanking. The key in my hand has also changed at this moment. After holding it for so long, it has not warmed up. Instead, it is cold. I can still feel the temperature difference. This chill is coming from the keyhole.

I haven't decided yet, and Chen Yihan hasn't expressed his position either. I feel the power coming from the key.

I kept holding the key to open the door, but the door opened automatically.

"Hey, who are you looking for? Why do you have the key?"

The door opened, and standing behind the door was a young man, in his twenties, with small eyes that moved around, giving people a very bad impression. He saw the person standing behind me, his small eyes didn't widen even after trying hard for a long time, and he waved his hand and was about to close the door.

Guo Yujie's motor skills were stronger than anyone else. She knocked me open and raised her hand to block the door, "Zhang Jiaxin!"

I threw myself directly to the ground, gasping for air after falling, and was helped up by the fat man sympathetically. "Guo Yujie, do you know this person?" I asked, rubbing my arms.

"This is Tao Hai's creditor!" Guo Yujie replied.

"How did you get here, kid? Where did you get the key? What do you want to do?" The thin man asked one after another.

Zhang Jiaxin's face turned red - he tried so hard to hold it in - but he couldn't even close the door. Both the thin and fat man and I couldn't help but look at his veined hands with pity, and then looked at the image of Guo Yujie, a beautiful girl, holding the door with one hand easily. Gee, there's no comparison at all.

Chen Yihan came forward and showed his ID.

Zhang Jiaxin's red face turned pale. He opened the door obediently and stood in the room rubbing his hands. "I, I'm here to collect debts. Tao Hai owes me money. If I don't take it back, I won't be able to open the door." I still have a family to support, so I can’t keep waiting for his son, right? His son doesn’t know when he will come back, and I can’t find him even if I look for him.”

"You collected the debt and moved into someone else's house? Did you pick the lock?" The thin man didn't dare to enter the house. He stood at the door and looked around, and saw a few takeaway lunches in the living room at a glance.

Chen Yihan didn't go in either, but glanced at me.

I had just been pushed away by Guo Yujie, and now I changed places with Guo Yujie and stood at the door.

Zhang Jiaxin didn't know where I was coming from. Seeing them make way for me, they thought I was a bigger leader than the police chief. They were walking on thin ice and didn't dare to look directly at me. I took the opportunity to search the house. In addition to the lunch boxes, there were other garbage in the house. It was probably the remnants left by the fire brigade and police after the rescue that day.

I found nothing for a while.

Zhang Jiaxin was tortured by the silent pressure and said with a smile: "Boss, aren't I anxious? I admit that I made a mistake and I must apologize to Tao Hai's son. I will move out today. Look at this Okay? How about I help clean up the house? This is an apology. I have cleaned this place. Does Tao Hai's son want to live on his own, or rent it out or sell it, which is also convenient, right? Right? There’s no need to hire another person, waste money, and waste time.”

I interrupted Zhang Jiaxin and said, "Are you the only one living here?"

Zhang Jiaxin opened the door and said magnanimously like a gentleman, "It's just me. I've only been here for a day. Even though I couldn't get angry, I wanted to wait for Tao Hai's son. If I do something, it would be easier for the family to explain, right? ?I haven’t touched anything, and I haven’t taken any of it from here. You can come in and check.”

The door opened, and I could see a wider area, but I still didn't see any problems. I thought about it and asked Slender Man and the others to wait outside while I went in to see for myself.

Naturally, Slim Man and the others refused, so Chen Yihan stopped them.

"I'll go in with him, and you guys can watch from the outside." After Chen Yihan said this, he glanced at Zhang Jiaxin.

Zhang Jiaxin shrank his head and kept smiling, not daring to say a word.

The thin man and the others had no choice but to stay outside.

Tao Hai's home has two bedrooms and one living room, which is a standard apartment in the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants. It doesn't have many things and looks very poor. Many of the appliances are antiques from decades ago, probably left behind by his parents. There are several photos placed at home, including those of Tao Hai's parents, and those of Tao Hai's wife and children. I didn't see Tao Hai in the house, nor did I see any other ghosts.

Chen Yihan is a police officer, so her observation goals are different from mine. He picked up a receipt under the coffee table and raised it to Zhang Jiaxin, "Only staying for one day?"

Zhang Jiaxin repeatedly begged for mercy, "Boss, Director, I am forced by life and have no choice. I didn't get the money, so I can't explain it. I can only do it here."

"Have you got the key?" Chen Yihan asked Zhang Jiaxin.

Zhang Jiaxin dug into his pockets obediently.

Since he could get the key once, he could get it a second time. I don’t believe Chen Yihan can’t understand this.

Chen Yihan frowned and stretched out her hand to me, "Give me your key."

I didn't know why, so I gave the key to Chen Yihan.

The two keys were put together. Zhang Jiaxin and I were both a little dazed. We looked at each other in unison, and then looked away as if we were startled.

The teeth of the two keys were completely different. I thought that Zhang Jiaxin took the wrong key or used another key to fool him. Zhang Jiaxin probably wanted to go with me, and that was how our eyes met briefly. After such an intersection, we both knew that we were not mistaken.

"Go and take a look." Chen Yihan returned the key to Zhang Jiaxin.

Zhang Jiaxin was very obedient, doing whatever he was told, and he was very sensible. He didn't close the door, but opened it and tested the key. The thin man and others waiting outside didn't know why. They saw Zhang Jiaxin finished trying the key, and I tried it again with another one. Both keys can open this door.

Zhang Jiaxin hurriedly explained: "Director, this is not a master key, and I am not a habitual criminal. I have never been a pickpocket, let alone burglary."

Chen Yihan said: "I know. Your hands are very clean, and you can tell you are not in this business. Where did your key come from?"

Zhang Jiaxin paused, his eyes flickering.

"Did Tao Hai give it to you? Or did you secretly print the mold from Tao Hai and spend money to make it?" Chen Yihan asked.

Zhang Jiaxin hesitated.

It dawned on me. No wonder Chen Yihan asked Zhang Jiaxin about the key just now. Has he already suspected this?

"Why do you live here?" Chen Yihan continued to ask, "If you don't want to stay here, we can go back to the bureau and talk."

Zhang Jiaxin was completely panicked.

It's not hard to imagine what would happen if he was taken back to the station by the police chief himself.

Seeing Zhang Jiaxin's behavior, I thought he was useless, but Zhang Jiaxin had other ideas. He probably felt it wasn't worth it.

This is the conclusion I came to after listening to Zhang Jiaxin’s narration. He felt very wronged because he was innocent. The house would not be transferred in time without any explanation, but Tao Hai promised to give him the house on the pretext of paying off the debt. In fact, Tao Hai entrusted him with the cornucopia.

"This is a cornucopia of choices. If you choose me, it's mine." Zhang Jiaxin said.
