Getting the best from Tarkov

Anyone who sees him dressed like this will probably call the police.

However, the family living opposite might be an elderly person. Although the door handle was turned, the door did not open for a long time. This gave Liao Fan a rare opportunity.

Finally, the moment the other party opened the door, Liao Fan quickly walked into Xu Qi's room, and then quickly closed the door.

Through the peephole, Liao Fan saw that there was indeed an old woman living opposite, and her age was estimated to be over 70.

She walked downstairs with a hunched body and staggering step by step. Although it looked like a gust of wind could blow her down, Liao Fan noticed that the old woman's hands were very steady.

This is not the behavior of an old man who can't even stand.

But these had nothing to do with him. After confirming that there was no peephole in the door opposite, Liao Fan put this little episode aside.

Locking the door again with the key, Liao Fan first bent down to take off the first layer of shoe covers and put them in his pocket, then turned around and began to look around the rental house.

The structure is similar to the house I used to live in, both with a single room and a balcony, except that this one has an extra kitchen.

As usual, I went to the desk and flipped through the papers scattered on the table. I found that most of them were learning materials about antiques. The drawer was similar. In addition to books, there were some girls' gadgets, such as lipsticks, eyebrow pencils, loose powder, etc.

Seeing that there was nothing useful on the desk, Liao Fan turned around and walked to the wardrobe. However, when he opened the wardrobe, the scene he saw really made his eyes bulge.

Well, I didn’t expect this girl to be so reserved and reserved.

Somewhat embarrassedly, he reached out his hand to pick up the red thong panties, sexy lingerie of various colors and styles, as well as hemp ropes, beads, ball gags and other things that had fallen out from the ground and stuffed them back into the closet. Liao Fan also took out a khaki windbreaker from the side.

But when Liao Fan took a look at it, he found that it was actually a high imitation. As for how he knew it, it was very simple, because there was an identical one in Yang Xue's house.

Liao Fan saw her buy that piece at Hang Lung Plaza, but when compared with the one in her hand, the feel is completely different.

After putting the windbreaker back, Liao Fan looked at the bags in the corner of the wardrobe one by one. Sure enough, all of them were fake. No wonder Xu Qi looked so glamorous all day long, but lived in such a shabby way, and her family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet.

After zipping up the wardrobe, Liao Fan sat on the sofa beside the bed. He casually flipped open the bed sheet and looked under the bed, then lowered his head and began to think.

Although Xu Qi wore high-end imitations of famous brand products every day, Liao Fan had also seen stalls selling similar imitations on the black market. Although the prices were not as outrageous as those in the counters, they were definitely not cheap. A small Saint Laurent shoulder bag would cost more than 9000 yuan in the counter, but a high-end imitation would cost nearly 1000 yuan on the black market stall. This was just Saint Laurent's entry-level style.

If it is a flagship model or a hot-selling model, the price will probably be higher.

Even if Xu Qi only sold high-quality imitations, her income would definitely not be enough to support the business.

But there was nothing in this room that made Liao Fan feel that something was wrong. Not only that, Liao Fan had not even found a banknote.

Could it be that the stack of cash Xu Qi carried with her was all her assets?

Well, that little amount of money is not worth it for her to deposit in the bank.

Or does he actually have no hidden money, all his wealth in the bank? Then why would he carry around a wad of cash all day long?

The more Liao Fan thought about it, the more puzzled he felt. He unconsciously patted the tea set in front of him.

This time, Liao Fan was stunned.

There's something wrong with the coffee table!

It turned out that when Liao Fan tapped the coffee table lightly, the sound that came out was not the sound of solid wood, but seemed a little hollow.

Thinking of this, Liao Fan first used his mobile phone to take pictures of the positions of the things on the coffee table, then placed the few items on the ground one by one, and then began to grope around bit by bit.

Soon, Liao Fan found the problem.

It turns out that there is a hole under the panel of this wooden coffee table, and the way to open it is very simple. You just need to insert something into the side door along the gap of the connection and then pry it open.

When Liao Fan used an ear pick on the table to pry open the coffee table panel, the things inside immediately made him stunned.

I saw that under the panel of the coffee table, 100-yuan banknotes were neatly spread out.

I picked up a stack and counted it, it was exactly 1 yuan.

Based on this, it can be estimated that there should be about 50 yuan hidden in the coffee table, but a part of it has been taken away. It seems that the cash on Xu Qi is the part that has been taken away.

There is indeed something wrong with this Xu Qi!

Thinking of this, Liao Fan did not touch the money. Instead, he covered the panel again as it was, and then restored the items on the coffee table one by one according to the photos.

But just when he was about to check whether the little hamster had dug holes in other places to hide things, he suddenly heard the door being opened from the outside.

Without thinking too much, Liao Fan immediately bent down and hid under the bed.

Damn it, I hope he's back again. But there's no point in thinking about it now.

Although it is not safe under the bed, it is better to hide there for a while and then act according to the circumstances.

Through the gap under the bed, he saw that the person coming in was a woman, and the little bit of luck that Liao Fan had after that disappeared.

Fortunately, after opening the door, Xu Qi first took a look at the general environment of the room. Seeing that there was no change since he left, he did not start searching directly.

After sending the old lady next door home, Xu Qi locked the door, then quickly walked to the bookcase, pulled out the drawer on the second layer, and then poured all the contents of the drawer onto the sofa, and turned the drawer over.

Well, this drawer also has a mezzanine, and the mezzanine is actually the bottom of the drawer.

Originally, Xu Qi hid the things in there very secretly. If someone didn't know, they wouldn't discover the secret even if he turned the supplies upside down. However, Liao Fan happened to see this scene under the bed.

After making sure that nothing was lost, Xu Qi collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his energy.

At this time, Liao Fan was hiding under the bed and was very curious. What was hidden in the drawer that made the other party feel that it was more important than the hundreds of thousands on the coffee table?

Just as Liao Fan was thinking, he suddenly discovered that there was something hidden on the other side of the bed.

Thinking of Xu Qi's actions just now, Liao Fan immediately felt bad.

Sure enough, after making sure that the most important thing was not lost, the second thing Xu Qi did was to lie down and crawl under the bed.

However, when she stuck her head in, what greeted her was a black muzzle of a gun and a man wearing a hat and a skull mask on his face.

At this moment, Xu Qi's brain completely froze.

She didn't expect that the person who sneaked into her house hadn't left yet!

At this time, Liao Fan was also in a state of grievance.

If there was nothing hidden under the bed, judging from Xu Qi's expression just now, he would probably take the things hidden in the drawer and move away immediately.

Although I might lose track of the other person by then, at least I won't be discovered.

But who would have thought that the other party also hid something under the bed.

"Miss Xu, are you born in the Year of the Rat? Why are you hiding things all over your house?"

After hearing the words of the man in front of her, although Xu Qi was already scared to the extreme, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, the desire to survive overwhelmed the embarrassment of being teased. Xu Qi trembled and said, "I'll give you whatever you want. Just don't kill me! I'm rich! Seriously, I have 50 yuan in cash!"

"Stop that bullshit! You don't have half a million in cash! I just checked, it's only a little over 38!"

This was even more embarrassing. At this moment, even Xu Qi, who was frightened to the point of almost losing control of her bladder, was a little confused. Was this the point?

It's already this late, and this person is still hesitating about whether it's 50 or 38?

Xu Qi was embarrassed by more than that. After Liao Fan crawled out from under the bed, he didn't ask where the money was. Instead, he held the gun in one hand and pulled down the zipper of the wardrobe with the other. He then pulled out a pair of metal handcuffs and threw them on the sofa, saying, "Cuff them yourself. Don't make me do it."

Seeing that another of her little secrets had been discovered by the person in front of her, Xu Qi embarrassedly scratched her toes frantically in her boots.

It's so embarrassing that my little quirk is exposed so openly.

But looking at the gun in Liao Fan's hand, he thought it would be better to do as he was told.

Xu Qi trembled as she got up from the ground and fastened one of the metal handcuffs to her left hand. Just as she was about to handcuff her right hand, she heard Liao Fan say again, "Turn your hands behind your back!"

Well, there was no other way. Just because of the gun in Liao Fan's hand, she would have to do it even if he asked her to put her hands behind her back or do a striptease on the spot.

After roasting Xu Qi, Liao Fan put the safety of his pistol on, then put it in his back and asked, "Why did you come back early?"

"Hmm?" Hearing Liao Fan's greeting, Xu Qi didn't react for a moment to why he asked such a question, and subconsciously said, "Grandma Wang from across the street just called me and said someone came into my house."

Okay, it was really my negligence.

It turned out that Xu Qi had indeed been busy outside for a long time today as Liao Fan had guessed, but just a while ago, she suddenly received a call from Grandma Wang next door.

On the phone, Xu Qi learned that someone had entered his home after he left.

At that moment, Xu Qi was completely stunned. He didn't care about anything else and quickly took a taxi back home.

After listening to Xu Qi's explanation, Liao Fan thought for a moment and asked, "How is the old woman's health?"

Hearing Liao Fan's greeting, Xu Qi immediately thought of what the other party was going to do and looked at Liao Fan with horror.

But when he saw Liao Fan making a move to reach behind his waist, he quickly said, "No, no, no! I'm telling you! Grandma Wang is in good health, but she has a heart condition and needs to take medicine regularly. Besides, her children are all out of town, and her husband passed away two years ago, so she's always been alone."

"Haha, okay, the old lady just took the risk to tip you off, and now you're selling her out?

And those children are not good people either.

At such an old age and with heart disease, there is no one to take care of him at home."

Hearing Liao Fan's sarcasm, Xu Qi had no choice but to put on an awkward smile.

Not to mention betraying an old lady with no relatives or friends, as long as she can live, I would let her do anything.

Liao Fan had no idea that the other person was thinking so much, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

What he is considering now is whether to kill the old lady as well. You know, since the other party went to inform Xu Qi, it proves that she saw him when she opened the door.

This is an unexpected loophole that must be filled.

As for whether or not to kill the person outright to silence him, it wasn't because he was being too sanctimonious, but because he was wondering if killing the other person would create any more loopholes.

However, when I thought about the information Xu Qi had just told me about the old lady, an important piece of information appeared in my mind. Got it!

After making up his mind, Liao Fan pulled out his gun again, then pointed at Xu Qi and said, "Go to the other side and ask that old woman to open the door. Don't show any flaws."

After hearing Liao Fan's words, Xu Qi had a slight struggle in his heart, but when he saw the gun pointed at him, he stood up and walked towards the door.

But just when she was about to open the door and shout for help, Liao Fan's voice sounded eerie behind her: "You'd better be honest. To tell you the truth, I don't intend to kill you, but if you don't behave, think about what you have hidden in your room.

I'm not sure if I'll be arrested, but the police will definitely see those things."

Sure enough, after hearing Liao Fan's words, Xu Qi became completely obedient.

The other party was right. Until now, I still don’t know what the other party looks like or what his identity is.

But if the police see what's hidden in the house, I'll be dead.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi quickly forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to do anything, it's just that I can't open the door with my hands behind my back."

After hearing what Xu Qi said, Liao Fan didn't say anything, but just silently took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole.

When Xu Qi saw this, he was speechless. Whose family is this?

Watching Xu Qi walk out the door, Liao Fan did not stand behind Xu Qi, but leaned against the wall to avoid being seen by the old lady when opening the door.

Looking at Xu Qi, who was handcuffed and standing straight in front of the door with her hands behind her back, Liao Fan suddenly felt that this woman was actually quite pretty.

Although her looks cannot be compared with Tang Yunong, Feng Caier and the like, she is still very capable if placed in an ordinary university or society.

It’s easy to be voted as the school beauty or class beauty.

In addition, the other party's posture with her hands behind her back made her chest look more prominent, and even made Liao Fan feel that she was about to surpass Feng Caier in size.

Just when Liao Fan was lost in thought, he heard a click and the door opened.

"How's it going, girl? Did you lose anything? Really, I don't need to call the police? That guy is definitely not a good person. You didn't see how tightly he was wrapped up at the time. You can tell at a glance that he's a habitual thief."

After hearing Grandma Wang's description, Xu Qi almost laughed out loud even though he was being pointed at with a gun.

"It's okay, Grandma Wang, you know, I'm an antique dealer, and there are actually many things in this business that are not easy to see in public.

There wasn't anything valuable missing, just a wallet that was on the coffee table. It was probably just an ordinary thief who left after finding nothing."

After hearing Xu Qi's words, the old lady was obviously fooled and believed it. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay as long as nothing is lost. You don't know how scared I was at that time. I almost had a heart attack. By the way, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing what the old lady said, Xu Qi showed a trace of struggle. At this moment, she actually regretted selling the old lady without hesitation in the house.

But what can she do now that things have come to this? As for what will happen after Liao Fan goes in, she can no longer control it. His father is dead and his mother is remarried, so he should just take care of himself.

After thinking it through, Xu Qi said awkwardly: "Grandma Wang, well, I'm a little scared. I was just too anxious just now, and now that I think about it, it's really a little scary. Can I..."

Seeing Xu Qi say this, the old lady also reacted and smiled and said, "Come on, come in."

After saying that, he took a step back.

But what happened next made her completely dumbfounded. She saw a tightly wrapped man suddenly appear behind Xu Qi.

The man pushed Xu Qi into the house and stepped in before the old lady could come to her senses.

At this moment, the old lady had no idea what was happening. She did not look at Liao Fan, but looked at Xu Qi in disbelief. The tears in her eyes pierced deep into Xu Qi's heart like a sharp sword.

P.S.: Is there any connection with the question about changing labels mentioned yesterday? I just looked at it again and the more I look at it, the more upset I feel.
