Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

After giving her statement, the girl was nervously driven home by a male police officer.

"Are you sure you don't need us to deliver it? The killer has already seen your face, and you're likely to be targeted until he's apprehended."

The policewoman at the police station looked at Rose with concern as she refused to be escorted home.

“That murderer was ruthless and killed indiscriminately. Your registered address was a hotel, which is easy for outsiders to enter.”

The basement of the murderer's house was largely hollowed out, and reports from the scene said that the bodies inside could be described as "piled up like mountains".

Furthermore, judging from the clothing found on some of the remains, most of the victims were homeless.

This is one of the reasons why the murderer was able to kill so many people without anyone reporting them missing.

Rose casually said, "It's okay. I live far away in a busy area. The murderer is old. The fact that he knows to run away shows that he still wants to live. He won't go too far to cause me trouble."

The policewoman was taken aback, feeling that there was something implied in those words. Just as she was about to ask, she heard the other person say, "Thank you for your hard work, please wait."

They are surprisingly polite.

The policewoman scratched her newly cut short hair, then turned and went back to the police station.

"Why do I feel like that girl looked familiar?" The colleague on duty said to the policewoman, peeking out from in front of the computer after she left, "Especially since she was staying at that hotel."

"What happened to that hotel?" the policewoman asked, puzzled.

My colleague pursed his lips a few times and couldn't help but laugh, "Haven't you seen the jokes the guys in the back have been making lately?"

The police station and the fire station are located back to back, and although they are sister units with a good relationship, it doesn't stop them from laughing at each other.

"A few days ago, they went out to rescue a woman who was jumping off a building, but they were taught a lesson by a female hotel guest." My colleague laughed and exclaimed, "That guest was incredible. She was incredibly strong. She not only grabbed the woman who was falling from the building with one hand, but also easily threw her onto the rescue mat."

The policewoman asked in surprise, "Really? What happened to the woman who jumped and the female customer?"

"The woman who jumped off the building is fine, just a few bruises. It seems she's going through a divorce and dividing her assets with her husband. The guy on duty during the day even went to their house to respond to the call. He said the woman smashed the man's head with a solid wood stool from her house, and the man called the police."

What can they do? This is a family matter. Just give them a few words of advice and they'll live their lives well from now on.

The colleague recalled the person who had just given a statement, clicked his tongue, and said, "As for the female customer, I don't know much. I just saw that a few days ago, quite a few people posted related videos online, and marketing accounts reposted them. Although they were blurry, you could tell that the person's skills and reaction ability were quite good."

Unfortunately, the videos are all gone now, and he never thought of saving them when he watched them.

The policewoman chuckled, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice. "Is this why the daily training has been doubled these past few days?"

Her colleague responded with a knowing, mischievous grin that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

The policewoman stroked her chin, pondering, "I'll ask that female customer privately later if she's really that amazing."

After a two-second pause, she suddenly realized, "Oh, right, they said the murderer had already fled when they were taking my statement. But how far could a 67-year-old man run? Could he still be hiding in a house in the residential area? Maybe there are basements or something in this residential area?"

My colleague thought this made sense: "Why don't you tell your thoughts to the guys in the criminal investigation team next door?"

……

"200 yuan has been deposited."

The voice message confirming the payment came through the phone, sounding especially pleasant in the dark night.

Rose didn't take a taxi; she strolled slowly down the street, with cars occasionally speeding past her.

"They even gave me two hundred yuan for milk tea, that's quite generous." Xiao Ba peeked at today's income. "Let's go have some morning tea then. There's a local restaurant that has really good reviews for its morning tea, and the milk tea is perfectly colored."

"You've already got your eye on this place since you only have a couple of coins in your pocket? Aren't you going to rent a place to stay?" Rose chuckled, but didn't refuse. She turned and walked towards the restaurant.

Xiao Ba stamped his foot, suppressing the urge to take a shortcut. "I found a place with a great view, but it's very cheap, and the usable area is quite large."

"where?"

"An old apartment building with walk-up doors?"

Standing downstairs in the rented apartment building, the aroma of food wafted from the exhaust fans of each household.

I strolled over here after having morning tea, and it just so happens to be lunchtime for everyone.

This is a six-and-a-half-story walk-up building with three apartments per floor. There is one apartment on the top floor with a large rooftop terrace. There is no other way to access the rooftop except through the entrance of this apartment, so it is considered private.

There are also single-story houses and two- or three-story buildings nearby; judging from the layout, they should be private residences.

This residential area is surrounded by high-rise buildings, especially this six-and-a-half-story building, which is directly opposite a well-known affluent residential area and happens to be within the view of Zhuang Yue's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Xiao Ba: [This area was supposed to be demolished, but they couldn't agree on the compensation, so the other party just bypassed the area.]

Xiao Ba: [The key is slipped under the door; just take it out and open the door. I already discussed it with the landlord when we had morning tea.]

Rose lifted her foot and walked towards the stairs.
