"Jiang Ran?"
Liu Xiaogang's heart jolted.
Although he wasn't very familiar with either the manager or the assistant manager.
Based on his observations at last night's welco party.
He believed that Jiang Ran, as a person, should be much easier to get along with and more amiable than Li Chong.
So, he would kill soone?
"Do you have evidence?"
Liu Xiaogang asked quietly.
Aunt Wen answered in a low voice, "Two pieces of evidence."
"During the ti of the previous manager, Xiao Zhang, Jiang Ran was already the assistant manager. As a result, when Xiao Zhang quit, he remained the assistant manager, while the manager position was filled by soone parachuted in from above."
"Do you think he doesn't covet the manager position?"
"This morning, he even asked us, now that Li Chong is dead, could he beco the manager, and what were the chances of that happening."
"That's the first point. The second point is, they were love rivals."
Listening to the first so-called piece of evidence.
Liu Xiaogang found it very plausible.
After all, the intensity of such job competition could indeed lead to murder.
But hearing the second point, he was sowhat confused again.
Aunt Wen said, "Among our cleaning staff, there's a woman. Everyone calls her Auntie Mo."
"Both Li Chong and Jiang Ran liked her and were jealous rivals for her affection."
"Auntie Mo... wait, Jiang Ran and Li Chong, they look like they're in their twenties or thirties. Auntie Mo is already called 'Auntie'... she should be at least in her forties or fifties, right? She could be their mother. They would be jealous rivals over a woman that much older?"
Liu Xiaogang questioned doubtfully.
Yao Junjie said, "Maybe this Auntie Mo is still charming, a beauty."
Liu Xiaogang felt that was more plausible.
Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine two guys in their twenties and thirties being jealous rivals over a woman in her forties or fifties.
Liu Xiaogang asked, "So, is this Auntie Mo person here now?"
Aunt Wen shook her head, "She's not. She disappeared a few days ago. No one knows where she went."
Liu Xiaogang didn't expect the key person to be missing.
However, it was precisely because she was missing that a sequence of events imdiately ford in his mind.
Jiang Ran and Li Chong both liked Auntie Mo.
And Auntie Mo ultimately chose Jiang Ran and rejected Li Chong.
Li Chong, turning love into hatred, imprisoned or killed Auntie Mo.
After Jiang Ran learned the truth, he used this to set up and kill Li Chong.
"Perfect..."
Liu Xiaogang couldn't help but admire his own cleverness!
He should have gone to police academy back then and beco a criminal investigator after graduation!
He solved the case so easily!!!
Because he realized he had discovered the real culprit.
So, Liu Xiaogang no longer continued to pay money to pry information from Aunt Wen and the other person.
Instead, he pulled his companion, Yao Junjie, and left.
After they left.
Aunt Wen and Aunt Zhang, the two of them, also picked up their cleaning tools and went to sweep fallen leaves near the apartnt building.
When the two reached a spot and began sweeping leaves, Aunt Zhang, who had remained silent until now, asked Aunt Wen:
"Hey, why did you deliberately try to pin the murder suspicion on Jiang Ran?"
Hearing this, Aunt Wen chuckled, "Simple. This morning, even though the two of us were quite far away, he specifically called us to clean up the bloodstains and didn't call anyone else. So, I'm just getting a little revenge on him, is that not okay?"
Aunt Zhang suddenly understood. So it was because Jiang Ran had increased their workload this morning.
That's why Aunt Wen was deliberately retaliating.
Aunt Zhang didn't really mind the increased workload this morning.
After all, at Alice Apartnt, this was the job she was hired to do.
As these four people left.
Huo Yun quietly erged from around the corner on the first floor.
A trace of gloom appeared on his sunny, smiling face, "What do those two want to do? Find out who killed Li Chong? Then they can't be allowed to stay..."
When he entered the apartnt building earlier and passed by the four of them.
Huo Yun had overheard sothing that seed to be about this matter.
After that, he had to keep his distance and hide. You can't stand right next to people having a secret conversation and eavesdrop, treating them like fools.
Therefore, much of the conversation, because he was too far away, he couldn't hear anything.
Huo Yun continued using both hands to pull the corners of his mouth upward, trying his best to maintain his smile.
In the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room.
Bomb King: [Well, well, you all were right. That foul-tempered manager really died, got killed. Does anyone know who killed him?]
Middle-aged Uncle: [I didn't see it. The cri probably happened around a few o'clock in the early morning. I was asleep by then. But it's fine, the live stream room has exciting replay clips. You can go watch them. Though, I suggest you don't. Because so things lose their fun once you've seen them.]
Grenade King: [The manager is dead. Will that position be taken over by that Jiang Ran?]
Domineering Female CEO: [No one can answer that question for you, but I think it's probably not very likely. Because this manager position is quite important, responsible for a lot of things.]
...
Liu Xiaogang and Yao Junjie returned to Room 302.
Liu Xiaogang told his companion Yao Junjie that the murderer might be Jiang Ran. And gave his reasons.
Yao Junjie felt this speculation made a lot of sense.
He then said, "Then let's call the police right away?!"
Liu Xiaogang shook his head, "This is still just our speculation. We don't have concrete evidence. And if we call the police, and the police co, find evidence, and arrest him, have you thought about what our 4th and 5th video contents will be?"
Yao Junjie was imdiately stunned, "Could it be that..."
Liu Xiaogang smiled, "Exactly what you're thinking. I plan to personally et this Jiang Ran, find evidence that he's the murderer, and preferably catch him with my own hands! Then call the police."
"Do you know the difference between doing that and just calling the police directly?"
Yao Junjie shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Liu Xiaogang said, "First, for us, the online publicity would only be: 'A vicious murder occurred in a certain apartnt. Enthusiastic citizen strear so-and-so reported the murderer, helping the police apprehend the criminal!'"
"But the second option? The online publicity becos: 'Strear so-and-so displays amazing prowess, uncovers the perpetrator of a vicious murder case, apprehends them, and hands them over to the police.'"
"The first one, reporting and such, happens too often. Especially with those enthusiastic Chaoyang District residents, it's commonplace, not novel."
"But the second one is novel. 'A certain strear personally apprehends a murderer.' If that news gets out, our follower count would absolutely skyrocket from 100,000 to the million level!"
"Have you thought about what would happen to us then?!"
"For that period, we would absolutely be the center of the spotlight!"
"Take advantage of that ti, frantically take on advertisents, then frantically do live sales, pushing those junk products to those foolish live stream fans, making a huge profit. Maybe that one haul would be money for our entire lives!!!"
"With money, we could live a high-quality life!"
"Hey, Junjie, isn't your family pressuring you to get married? Haven't you always had a crush on a certain girl?"
"When we have money then, you can just buy a Porsche and go pursue that girl. I don't believe you wouldn't catch her!"
"Once you catch her, maybe after you get tired of playing around, you can look for the next one!"
"By then, pretty girls, you can play with them as you please. Things like family pressure to marry, not finding a wife, they'd all be just fleeting clouds."
