After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 293 Landlord Lin An, Former Landlord Lin An
It's impossible not to be nervous.

Fortunately, the questions I heard were all very simple, just a little strange.

They were supposed to be investigating the house next door that had been vacant for a long time, but the police officer in front of them was asking about the house they were currently living in.

"Is the house you're living in now rented or owned?"

"rental."

When was the rental period? Was it through an agency or directly from the landlord?

"We'll be back after the Lunar New Year, around the end of February or the beginning of March. We found an agency online, and we haven't even met the landlord yet. We just added each other as friends and exchanged information about rent and such."

"How was the contract signed?"

"Online contract signing".

"Can you provide the landlord's contact information and the online rental agreement now?"

The young couple were completely bewildered and felt a little uneasy as they were bombarded with questions. It seemed like there was something wrong with their rented apartment!

After hesitating for a moment, the girl nodded, "Okay, but my phone is still inside."

Lin Mofei glanced at the front door next door. "I'd like to go inside your house again, is that alright?"

"Uh, that's fine, but the house is a bit messy. Can we go back and tidy up first?"

"Then we'll knock on the door in fifteen minutes. You guys go and get ready first."

Upon receiving the signal that they were temporarily allowed to pass, the young couple immediately hunched their shoulders, linked arms, turned around, and quickly opened the door to go inside.

While waiting for the neighbors to finish cleaning up, Fu Zhi Qiu had already inspected almost the entire house.

Results: No problems at all.

The water and electricity were not interrupted, and appliances that usually need to be turned on all the time, such as refrigerators, water heaters, and water purifiers, were all operating normally.

There was also water in the living room that was only half-drunk, and a few dried-up oranges in the fruit bowl on the dining table!

The whole house gives the impression that the owner had something urgent to attend to and left in a hurry without having time to tidy up.

Even though it seemed perfectly fine and could be moved into immediately after a simple cleaning, Fu Zhi Qiu had no intention of changing her mind and moving back in.

If we can't sell them later, we can just leave them stuck in our hands!

Yuan Chaoyu found a phone charger in the bay window of the master bedroom. After charging it, the phone turned on normally, and the screen saver was still a photo of Fu Zhiqi and her daughter.

Open the social media app on your phone, and one of the pinned friends is the name 'Xiao Feng'.

Upon entering the chat room, I found that none of the chat logs had been deleted; the last one was from early September of last year.

Lin Mofei picked up his phone and scrolled through it. There were quite a few chat records. They basically chatted a few words every day, and even if there were intervals, they never lasted more than three days.

Looking at the chat content and frequency above, at first glance you would only think that the two people have a very close relationship.

However, now that we know one party has ulterior motives, we can see many problems.

Even if the two people live just a wall apart, they each have their own lives and it's impossible for them to be inseparable every day.

Feng Xiaoyu used online chat to subtly find out Fu Zhi Qiu's whereabouts and activities even when she wasn't physically with him. This method was both simple and effective.

Moreover, based on this chat log, he was able to glean a lot of information about Fu Zhi Qiu, from her family situation to what she liked to eat and what minor health issues she had. The key was that he had subtly guided her out of these details through their daily conversations, leaving her completely oblivious. It was a meticulously planned scheme!
Lin Mofei hesitated whether to send a message to see if Feng Xiaoyu had deleted Fu Zhiqi as a friend, but he was afraid of alerting her, so he decided against it in the end.

I only remembered Feng Xiaoyu's number, so I can ask the IT department to check it when I get back.

"I can't give you back your phone for now." Lin Mofei said, putting the phone into his bag. After thinking for a moment, he reminded Fu Zhiqi of the suspicious chat history. "When we get back to the police station, we need to back up the information on this phone related to Feng Xiaoyu. I'll give the phone back to you after that."

Fu Zhi Qiu's face darkened even more after being reminded. She thought that her friend was just being nosy, but now that she knew the other party's true purpose, she felt disgusted and nauseous.

If she didn't need to back up her data, she would have deleted everything and thrown the phone away.

She nodded haphazardly. "It's fine if you don't return it." Anyway, even if she returned the phone after backing it up, she didn't plan to use it again since Feng Xiaoyu had touched it before.

After checking this place, Lin Mofei prepared to lead the guests to take a look next door.

As soon as I rang the doorbell at the door, the door opened.

"Please, please come in."

Lin Mofei was the first to step inside.

The others then followed.

The middle unit is much smaller than the corner unit. When you enter, you'll find the living room and balcony, with an unobstructed view when you look up.

The young couple had just arrived at the door and were about to sneak a peek when Lin Mofei stopped them. Later, when they were questioned, they didn't get to see what the other people inside the room looked like.

But they greeted them at their own doorstep, and as they saw Yuan Chaoyu, Xun Zhou, and Gao Juyao entering one by one...

He stared wide-eyed and froze on the spot.

"Yuan, Yuan, Yuan..."

Yuan Chaoyu paused, nodded to the two of them, and said, "Hello."

"Who exactly are you...?"

Yuan Chaoyu explained good-naturedly, "I'm filming an experiential variety show, sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay." The two quickly waved their hands, then asked in unison, "Excuse me, what variety show is it?"

"Absolute Experience".

"I think I heard my colleague mention it. I'll take a look when I have time."

They weren't interested in variety shows before, but now that the production team has come to their house, they definitely have to watch it.

The guests and Fu Zhi Qiu and her daughter all went inside, and then the production crew filmed them.

But before going in, you have to ask the owner's opinion: "May I go inside to take pictures? The community gate number and the two people are blurred, so don't worry about leaking personal information. There will be a reward afterward."

The young couple exchanged a glance, thinking that the house had been tidied up simply, and they could even appear on a TV show and make money by filming. Without hesitation, they nodded decisively, "Okay."

The production crew followed them in before moving in.

While the production crew was negotiating with the homeowner, Lin Mofei and his group, who were walking ahead, had already circled the living room balcony.

Turning around and seeing the camera following them into the house, they knew they had successfully negotiated with the owner, so they asked directly, "Have you found the rental contract?"

“Found it.” The girl quickly picked up a contract she had just found. “This is a paper version. I printed it out when I needed to apply for a residence permit.”

Lin Mofei took it, opened it, and flipped to the last page, where he saw the landlord's information.

Lin An.

Fu Zhi Qiu stood beside him, glanced at him, frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "This name seems a little familiar."

Lin Mofei immediately turned to look at her, "You've seen her before?"

"I want to check my phone to confirm."

Lin Mofei returned the phone to her.

Fu Zhi Qiu opened her Moments and scrolled down through the friends list until she almost reached the bottom.

Lin Mofei then saw one of her friends displayed on her phone screen.

The original homeowner was Lin An.
