Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 407: Li Chong, How Did You Die?

There it was.On the pale yellow wall of the first floor facing the front of the apartment building.

A person, completely naked, was nailed to death upon it.

It was a red-tasseled spear.

Someone had probably drilled a hole in the wall beforehand.

Then used the red-tasseled spear to nail the person onto it.

The spot where it was nailed was the mouth.

Because of this, starting from the area of the mouth, a lot of blood, under the influence of gravity on the wall behind and on the body, slowly flowed down to the ground.

On the concrete ground, it had created another large pool of blood.

This person had probably been dead for a while.

So, all this blood had completely dried up.

Jiang Ran was still in a state of shock, having witnessed such a bloody scene first thing in the morning.

Then, the next second, when his attention focused on that face.

He was even more utterly astonished.

He suddenly realized the deceased was an acquaintance.

It was none other than Manager Li Chong!

"That's right, that's right, it's Supervisor Li!!!"

With a horrified gaze, Jiang Ran couldn't fathom it at all. Manager Li Chong, who was alive and kicking, full of ambition just last night, was dead today?!

And in this manner of death?!

"Have you called the police?"

Snapping out of his shock, Jiang Ran forcibly controlled his trembling hands.

Even though he really disliked this Manager Li Chong, he never imagined someone would actually kill him.

Security Captain Gao was also in the crowd. He said, "We already did."

Jiang Ran turned his head: "Captain Gao, do you know who did it?"

Captain Gao shook his head: "If I knew, that would be the problem."

Jiang Ran suddenly thought of something: "The surveillance cameras should have captured it."

Captain Gao continued shaking his head: "What you thought of, the murderer thought of too."

"Our apartment's surveillance system was hacked. All the footage from when Manager Li Chong died is gone. The kind that can't be recovered no matter what."

Then, Captain Gao patted Jiang Ran's shoulder: "So, don't waste your energy. Leave everything to the police!"

Jiang Ran nodded: "That's for sure. After all, I'm not investigating the case. I'm just curious about who exactly killed him."

Captain Gao sneered, staring at Manager Li Chong nailed through the mouth above:

"I'm not surprised at all that he's dead. I just didn't expect it to happen this early."

"After offending so many people, especially last night. I heard he racked up a wave of hatred at the welcome party."

"Hah, what an idiot. Even Manager Xiao Zhang didn't dare to be that wild, racking up hatred. Who does he think he is? Just because he's a manager, he really thinks he's the boss?"

Jiang Ran said: "Oh, according to what you're saying, then the murderer isn't an outsider, but someone from within the apartment."

After saying this, he suddenly noticed everyone present was looking at him.

Jiang Ran quickly added: "Just kidding."

"Actually, whether it's a joke or not isn't important. What's important is that the final treatment of Manager Li Chong's corpse has quite a sense of performance art."

The one who said this was that Painter who set Xiao Xing on the "right path."

Compared to some crime scenes that resemble bloody hellscapes, this crime scene wasn't that bloody. Instead, it had a certain artistic sense.

Of course, this probably wasn't the primary crime scene.

He was killed somewhere else first, then the body was treated like this.

The Painter narrowed his eyes, his two hands seeming to grasp at something in the air: "That murderer probably really disliked this person's mouth. It was truly quite annoying. So, using that red-tasseled spear, he pierced through the mouth to support the entire corpse."

"Meaning, in the next life, mind your mouth?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Gao turned to look at the Painter: "Analyzing it so well, could it be the murderer is you?"

"They say some murderers have a hobby of returning to the crime scene to admire their own work."

The Painter shook his head with a smile: "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in men."

Among the crowd of onlookers, there was another person.

This person was the youngest of the five detectives Zhou Yan had hired.

He had originally gotten up in the morning planning to find a breakfast stall to eat.

Then, he saw such a bloody scene.

It instantly killed his appetite and even made him nauseous.

He ran to the nearby bushes and retched for a while.

When he came back, he realized that among the onlookers, he seemed to be the only one having a physiological reaction of disgust.

All the others, looking at this somewhat bloody corpse, were completely unmoved.

Thinking about why he was here.

Therefore, he suddenly felt this apartment was very dark, as if a large shadow had enveloped the entire building.

"No, I have to tell the others about this."

He strode back into the apartment building, planning to find the other four detectives to discuss this matter, as well as the failed cooperation.

A few minutes after he left.

Several police cars drove in front of the Alice Apartment building.

In addition, there was a white ambulance.

When these police officers got out and saw Li Chong nailed to the wall, they were all somewhat surprised.

It seemed like they hadn't encountered this kind of artistically styled murder case in a long time.

They confirmed the deceased's identity, took photos, collected evidence, took the body down, placed it in the ambulance, preparing to take it directly for an autopsy.

Then, they questioned the first person who discovered it, and the onlookers for any clues.

And, who was the last person to see Manager Li Chong yesterday, and so on.

In short, the investigation was very detailed.

Of course, there was also the most important part: checking the surveillance. But just as Captain Gao said, the surveillance system was hacked. The footage of Li Chong being killed had directly vanished and couldn't be found.

These police officers spent two or three hours here before leaving.

During this time, it was Jiang Ran, the assistant manager, who accompanied them during the investigation.

After the police left, the onlookers among the apartment residents also dispersed.

Jiang Ran called over two cleaning aunties and worked with them to clean the deep red bloodstains on the ground and the wall.

Using a wet mop with laundry detergent, they mopped the blood on the ground.

While working, Jiang Ran was somewhat distracted.

He was thinking, now that Manager Li Chong was dead.

Could he move up?

But then he reconsidered. Since starting this job, his superiors had always been Manager Xiao Zhang, and then Li Chong.

He had never seen the boss of this apartment, or anyone above the manager position.

He didn't even have their contact information.

Even if he recommended himself, there seemed to be no avenue.

Therefore, he looked at the two cleaning aunties beside him.

He had some impression of these two;they had been working here before him.

So, he asked them: "Aunties, I want to know, now that Manager Li Chong is gone, who will be the manager in the future?"

The two cleaning aunties, upon hearing this, didn't stop their work.

Instead, they answered while cleaning: "Don't know, young man. That's all up to the boss's arrangements."

Jiang Ran asked, puzzled: "Then have you ever met the boss? I've been here this long, and besides the managers, I haven't seen a single other leader."

Cleaning Auntie: "Hey, a big shot like the boss, how could someone like us meet him? Anyway, this new manager is dead. Maybe an even newer manager will come in this afternoon."

"Don't worry."
