He called Xia Qiangqiang's phone.
But over a minute passed with no answer on the other end.
"Hiss... could he really be in trouble?"
No longer in the mood to think about Eileen, Li Shumu hurried to the security room at the entrance of Alice Apartnt.
At this mont, Security Guard Xiang Shanfeng was sitting there reading a novel.
Li Shumu asked him if he had seen Xia Qiangqiang, while pulling out a photo of Xia Qiangqiang with so other n and won from a past trip.
Security Guard Xiang Shanfeng glanced at it, just shaking his head: "Didn't notice."
Li Shumu, growing anxious, went back to Building No. 1 and asked Manager Mao Li Zhishu, who was still in the managent office.
Manager Mao Li Zhishu was currently reading an erotic manga.
Hearing Li Shumu's question, he also shook his head.
He said he had been reading his manga the whole ti and hadn't noticed the comings and goings of this person nad Xia Qiangqiang.
"Hiss, this kid!"
Li Shumu had no choice but to quickly walk out of the managent office and continue calling Xia Qiangqiang on his phone.
anwhile, Manager Mao Li Zhishu raised his face, putting on a calm expression on the surface, but inwardly sneered coldly:
"Search, search. By the ti you find him, he'll already be dead anyway."
"Li Shumu, this is your warning. If you still don't get it and keep investigating Eileen, you'll be the next to die!!!!"
Manager Mao Li Zhishu cherished his position as manager, so he wouldn't let any accidents affect his job.

"Baby! Our love is like a roller coaster, suddenly lifting up then crashing down..."
The phone rang endlessly.
Qin Kelian's motion of hanging up the call was equally endless.
Inside Room 303, Xia Qiangqiang's screams were also completely non-stop.
"Ahhhh! Help!!!!"
"Senior Brother! Save ! Hurry and save !!!!"
"Li Shumu!!!! Aren't you a criminal psychologist?! Use your deduction! Co save !!!!!"
On the silver tal execution platform.
Xia Qiangqiang had already woken up.
Of course, based on the drug's effect, he shouldn't have woken up so soon. But Qin Yi felt that this silent lingchi was too boring, so she woke Xia Qiangqiang up early.
When Xia Qiangqiang first woke up, due to the lingering drug effect, he initially didn't feel anything.
But as the drug effect slowly faded.
Especially when he witnessed bits of himself being cut away.
The terror, the pain—all surging up at once.
It made him faint again.
Then he was woken up again by Qin Yi.
After waking up, he was just like everyone else who had died at the hands of the Demoness sisters before him.
Naturally, he begged them to let him go.
"We have no grudges! I even kindly ca to help fix your phone!"
But all he received was the sisters' disregard.
Of course, after waking up, he noticed that there was actually a gorgeous woman beside Qin Kelian.
And the person carving slices off him with a small knife was also a handso man.
He felt like he was dreaming.
Because, from watching TV dramas, shouldn't these psychopaths be those average-looking or ugly people?
Why would handso n and gorgeous won at this level be psychopaths?
But regardless.
He kept begging Sherlock, as well as Qin Yi and Qin Kelian.
And desperately scread with all his might for his senior brother to co save him.
His roars were actually very loud.
And heart-wrenching, enough to make anyone listening feel their soul tremble.
Yet, the three demons all listened with smiles on their faces.
Downstairs on the first floor, Li Shumu was already so frantic that he was drenched in sweat despite the cold winter, pacing in circles on the spot.
With every call he made sinking like a stone into the sea.
His heart felt like an ant on a hot pan.
If Xia Qiangqiang really ended up in trouble, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Because he was the one who called him here!!!!!
"Should I call the police?"
Li Shumu cald down to think. Even if soone called the police.
But since this was an adult who had only been missing for an hour or two.
Would that count as a disappearance?
It wasn't like Li Shumu had personally witnessed him being kidnapped or anything.
Even if the police ca, they would just go through the motions.
At this mont, he spotted a chair on the first floor, sat down, and used his phone to send Xia Qiangqiang's photo to the Alice Apartnt residents' group chat, asking if anyone had seen this person.
A desperate attempt.
Inside the managent office on the first floor, Manager Mao Li Zhishu naturally saw the ssage Li Shumu posted in the group.
He smirked slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Thinking: "Heh, even if you find Xia Qiangqiang now, he's probably just a corpse."
"I didn't kill him; you killed him."
This is the price of crossing others' interests.
During the Ming Dynasty, the power struggles between imperial authority and civil officials were fierce.
All to protect their own power and interests.
Throughout Ming history, many emperors died under mysterious circumstances—that was the price of crossing others' interests.
Even emperors weren't spared, let alone a re criminal psychologist like you?
Li Shumu was now continuously closing his eyes and taking deep breaths.
Forcing himself to calm down.
If he himself were in danger, he wouldn't be this frantic.
But because it was soone else, soone he had called here, he got anxious more easily.
Just then, he opened his eyes and was startled to see a ssage pop up on his phone.
Soone had sent a friend request.
It ca from the Alice Apartnt residents' group.
The person was nad Bai Ze.
"Does he have a lead?"
He accepted the friend request.
Less than two minutes after accepting, a ssage ca from the other side: "Your friend is right now in Room 303 of Building No. 1."
Straight to the point, no nonsense.
Li Shumu replied excitedly: "Are you sure? You're not ssing with ?"
Bai Ze: "Hurry up. If you're too late, his life is gone."
He shot up from his seat, put away his phone, and was about to rush toward the elevator.
But then, he suddenly rembered sothing.
He quickly ran into the managent office.
Seeing Li Shumu burst in so agitatedly, Manager Mao Li Zhishu frowned in confusion.
Li Shumu ca in and said: "Do you have a spare key for Room 303?"
He stretched out his hand at the sa ti.
Manager Mao Li Zhishu, upon hearing the room number 303, showed a flash of shock on his face.
What's going on?
Had this Li Shumu already found out that the person he brought was in Room 303?
How did he know?
Manager Mao Li Zhishu blinked a couple of tis to cover his shock, then said: "What do you need the key for? That's not an empty room; soone lives there."
Li Shumu said: "My friend is in there."
Manager Mao Li Zhishu: "The one you brought today?"
Li Shumu nodded.
Manager Mao Li Zhishu: "If that's the case, you don't need the key. Just go knock on the door, right?"
Li Shumu was growing impatient.
"Listen, co with and bring the key to find my friend. My friend is probably in danger. He didn't go to Room 303 willingly, understand?"
