Chapter 241
The gossipers hesitated for a moment, then held back their eager feet and decided not to chase after them. However, their sunflower seed-crunching became noticeably more casual. They were just waiting for the three men to return so they could get to know them better.
Ye Ke ran straight to the store at the entrance of the community, said something to the store owner, picked up the phone and dialed. After the call was connected, he immediately said: "Hello! Hello, I want to call the police."
The shop owner's hand shook, and a broad bean fell into the bowl.
He held the small bowl and listened attentively with his ears perked up.
"Yes! Someone is killing someone in Room 6, Building 402, Huajing Community. You need to come here immediately."
Ye Ke was afraid that the police officer on the other end of the phone would not take the call seriously, so he exaggerated the situation. Sure enough, the police officer on the other end of the phone said they would send police immediately.
Ye Ke had no guilt at all. She hadn't called the police falsely. Wasn't the scene she saw a murder in progress? Ye Ke felt that it was completely beyond the scope of a fight.
After Ye Ke hung up the phone, he asked the boss how much it cost.
"Sixty cents." The shop owner couldn't even hold the bowl of broad beans steady, so he put it directly on the table.
Ye Ke was about to reach out to pay, but when she felt her pocket, she remembered that she got up late this morning and was urged by Ye Wenhui to go out. She left in a hurry and didn't even bring her wallet.
Just at this moment, Ye Wenhui caught up. She obviously heard what the store owner had just said, and took out a dollar from her bag and handed it over.
The shop owner took the fruit and returned the four cents. He then looked at Ye Ke and asked cautiously, "Did someone really kill someone?"
What was the question? There wasn't even a subject. The sneaky look made it seem as if Ye Ke was the one who killed the person.
Huh? My aunt, who arrived shortly after, paused.
Ye Ke didn't tell the shop owner. She just yelled at him and then ran away with Ye Wenhui. How could she know whether the man really did it?
She turned around and pulled Ye Wenhui and her aunt towards the gate of the community. She finally had time to explain to the two confused people: "Just now when I looked up at the building, I saw someone strangling another person's neck. They were almost dying and refused to let go..."
Ye Wenhui's breathing suddenly stopped. She knew that Ye Ke suddenly said he wanted to call the police because he must have seen something, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
My aunt was also very nervous: "That person didn't see your face, right?"
Her first concern was Ye Ke’s safety.
Ye Ke shook his head: "No."
But after a little inquiry, I found out that the house belonged to her, and it didn't matter whether I saw her face or not.
Fortunately, they don't live here.
But even if there was a risk of exposing himself, Ye Ke couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
Ye Ke and the other two didn't want to be questioned after entering, so they just waited at the entrance of the community.
Ye Ke called the police in a clear and urgent manner. The police station responded quickly and was located nearby. In less than ten minutes, the sound of sirens "Wa ...
Finally, Ye Ke felt relieved when he heard this voice that gave him a sense of security.
Sun Wu kicked the door on the third floor for a long time, but there was no sound coming from inside. He just thought that the girl in the room was scared by him, so he said the last harsh words.
"I do whatever I want! You're so timid and you still want to meddle in other people's business?! Idiot!"
He returned to the fourth floor confidently. Meeting his companion's worried gaze, he sneered, "Look at how cowardly you look? What's the difference between you and that little girl just now?"
Liu Changjian swallowed, glanced at the person lying on the ground, and asked, "Are you sure she won't call the police?"
Sun Wu picked up the lighter on the table, felt in his pocket and remembered that he had finished his cigarette long ago, so he signaled Liu Changjian with his eyes.
Liu Changjian felt around and shook his head. They had been in this room for three days, where could they find cigarettes?
Sun Wu made an irritable "tsk" sound and looked at the others, who also shook their heads.
He had no choice but to squat next to the man on the ground and searched every pocket of his body. After finding nothing, he kicked him in frustration.
The urge to smoke came, and Sun Wu endured his breathing heavily. Finally, he picked up the half-smoked cigarette that had just been lit and extinguished on the table, lit it and put it in his mouth, which slightly calmed his anxiety.
Sun Wu held the cigarette between his fingers, exhaled, and leaned back in his chair leisurely. "Why call the police? She doesn't even dare to leave the house right now. I guess she was scared to death and is hiding in the house changing her pants, right?"
After Sun Wu finished speaking, he seemed to have imagined some scene in his mind, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
His calm demeanor seemed to give others a reassurance.
One of the squatting men stood up and said flatteringly, "Exactly. With the five of us out there, is there anything we can't handle?"
The others also agreed.
Only Liu Changjian was still a little uneasy: "Then..."
"What should we do with him?" Liu Changjian asked, pointing at the person lying on the ground.
Sun Wu scoffed, "What else can we do? We'll just drag him out and deal with him tonight."
"He has no family or friends, and no one knows he's here today. As long as the people in this room don't tell anyone..."
Sun Wu's eyes flashed fiercely as he glanced at everyone in the room one by one, saying nonchalantly, "They are all accomplices. Who dares to speak?"
One sentence dragged everyone into the water.
The people who were swept by his eyes froze, and when they heard what he said, they obeyed unconsciously.
The atmosphere was stagnant, but Sun Wu didn't care. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "What are you standing there for? Keep playing!"
He just lost a lot, and if the winner hadn't wanted to run away, he wouldn't have acted impulsively...
When everyone heard what he said, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, they all gathered around him, fearing that he would get angry...
Before it even started, the rapid and oppressive sound of sirens was heard.
Everyone shuddered, and the ash on Sun Wu's fingertips fell on the table. He quickly walked to the window.
Seeing a crowd gathered around the banquet downstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief and scolded the panicked crowd in the room, "What are you afraid of? It's probably just the old man and woman downstairs causing trouble again!"
He always knew that this community was a demolished village community.
The people living in the community are all rich and have free time, so they chose this place as their base.
More money means more disputes.
Every now and then, there's a disturbance in the neighborhood. Sometimes it's a fight between children over unfair distribution of income. Sometimes it's a divorce because the husband has become a playboy. Sometimes it's a prodigal son who's turned his back on his parents, or a rebellious son who's become a filial son...
In short, there are many varieties and they emerge in an endless stream.
He had no idea how many times he had seen police cars during the time he had lived here.
I have long been accustomed to it.
The police department is also used to it.
The operator frowned when he heard the address of the alarm. It was this resettlement community again.
Given that the situation reported by the caller this time was more serious than before, the police suspected that an armed fight might have occurred and were on high alert.
When we saw where the banquet was being held, we drove straight in.
He passed by Ye Ke and the other two who were waiting at the door.
