Chapter IV Necessary Procedures(1/2)

Charlie reached out and took Xie Sheng's arm.

"Please cooperate. This is just a routine matter. It will be over soon."

While talking, he pulled Xie Sheng out of the room.

Detective Chandler glanced at Xie Sheng's back and shouted to the police officers who were in a daze.

"What are you all doing here? Come in and search the room carefully to find anything suspicious."

The uniformed police officers rushed to every corner of the room.

No one thinks this college student is a murderer.

But they knew very well that they had to do something.

Otherwise, the Inspector will be angry.

There was a crackling sound immediately in the room.

"Bang" It seemed like something broke.

"Haha, these poor students always want some power"

"Yes, power only belongs to the gentlemen."

"At first it belonged to the nobles, but now it belongs to the businessmen and factory owners. Anyway, that kind of thing has nothing to do with us."

Charlie whispered to Xie Sheng: "That is Detective Chandler who is newly transferred to this district. He is an ambitious and unruly guy. You'd better not offend him and just be patient and get over it."

After speaking, Charlie also rushed into the room.

Xie Sheng was looking at the door, wondering whether to go in.

"Hey, don't be like the general public, you will suffer."

A crisp and sweet voice sounded in Xie Sheng's ears.

Without looking back, Xie Sheng also knew that the person speaking behind him was Elena.

She is one of Xie Sheng's neighbors and the owner of the previous room that was searched.

Elena not only has a golden voice, but also a sweet and lovely face.

She is a beautiful girl who came to the Demon Ruins from a remote countryside to work alone.

Elena's ideal is to stand on the stage of the Demon Blood Opera House one day and show off her singing voice.

However, there is often a gap between ideal and reality.

Now she can only travel between bars and small theaters to barely maintain her life.

Because Xie Sheng works in the bar downstairs in the basement every night.

Elena also sings a few songs there every night.

The two are not only neighbors, but also colleagues, and are now considered very good friends.

Xie Sheng felt a little relieved that his memories were gradually coming back.

Often when you think about something, something more urgent will come to mind.

"My big star, good morning"

"Good morning, Mr. Bartender," Elena joked.

"Did they do the same to your room?"

"No, it seems Charlie said something nice"

"Actually, Charlie is a nice young man."

"Hey, what kind of person is he? It's none of my business!"

"Elena, who doesn't know here that he is pursuing you?"

As a soft female voice sounded, a strong scent of perfume hit my face.

The girl who came over was originally very beautiful.

After applying heavy makeup, my face looks more mature and charming.

This is another neighbor of Xie Sheng's, Miss Mary.

She looks like a noblewoman married to a nouveau riche.

In fact, I just worked as a salesperson in Rockefeller Department Store.

Mary and Elena's experiences are very similar, and they also come from a remote village.

But her ideal is to marry a tycoon and live like a noble lady from then on.

Although Xie Sheng and his neighbors are residents of this building.

But their floor is different from other floors.

These are several rooms added to the rooftop of the building.

They are located around the rooftop of the building, making the remaining part in the middle a large yard.

The building was a commercial failure.

Although drawings newly popular in the New World were adopted.

Known as "apartments"

But in Moxu people prefer to call it "canned food"

Because all the rooms are tightly packed together.

As long as you make a slightly louder sound, your neighbors will hear it.

And heat dissipation in summer is also a fatal problem.

Those steep stairs can also be daunting for the elderly who are not very agile.

After this building is completed.

Investors who originally expected to make a fortune from this building have not sold one of them for several years.

Finally, the interest exceeded the principal, and under the strong pressure of debt, the investor hanged himself.

The investor wrote a suicide note before he died.

Rather than saying it is a suicide note, it is better to say it is a curse.

He cursed that this building would always be the tallest building here.

If this building is demolished one day.

This area, known as Mud Bay, will no longer be able to build buildings over ten meters high.

After the investor died, the apartment building, known as Niwan Building, fell into the hands of the bank.

Because of the debt problem, the book value of Niwan Building is far greater than the house price.

Banks are unwilling to sell apartments one by one.

We can only rent out rooms one by one.

As time goes by, more and more people from other provinces come to Moxu.

The business of Niwan Building is getting better and better, and all the rooms are rented out.

The bank added some rooms to the originally empty rooftop.

Because the rent is much cheaper than those below.

Many young people who are short of money but have nimble legs and feet live here.

So the people standing on the rooftop were all young people like Xie Sheng or Elena.

Each of these rooms on the rooftop is about the same size, about twenty square meters.

Each room has a door connecting the two rooms next to it.

As long as both parties open the door bolt, it can become a suite.

With two ladies standing beside him, Xie Sheng had a step forward.

I won’t argue with those police officers.

The reason why he had some verbal conflicts with the detective before was because he didn't want you to act too "cowardly"

Detectives tend to view any sign of weakness as a sign of guilty conscience.

Some guys who are beaten into a crime often become the target of suspicion because of this.

Thus becoming a scapegoat in a certain case.

For Xie Sheng, who is familiar with the history of Demon Ruins, such precedents abound.

What if a group of brutal police officers broke into his room without a search warrant?

If he doesn't make the necessary response to this, he will be written on the list of suspects.
