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

Chapter 301 Having no idea where to start, he rashly went to their door.

The car was parked in a secluded villa area.

Xun Zhou and Chu Yuan got out of the driver's seat and passenger seat respectively, followed by the villa's personal butler on a small electric scooter.

The villa owner is not home and cannot be contacted. Furthermore, what they have is only a document requesting the other party's cooperation in the investigation, not a higher-level search warrant. Even if the housekeeper has a spare key, it is not appropriate to open the door rashly.

As a result, they could only wander around the vicinity of the villa.

They also need a butler to accompany them.

Now, forget about the gate, there's no way to even climb over the courtyard wall!

Xun Zhou peered through the crack in the carved gate at the kitten squatting by the swimming pool in the villa's yard, drinking water that was tinged with green, indicating it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. He wondered if the kitten would get diarrhea from drinking it. Unable to go in and chase it away, he decided to choose to ignore it.

He glanced back at the butler who was standing right behind him: "How much do you know about this homeowner?"

The butler hesitated for a moment before replying, "Our owner doesn't live in this villa for at least 300 days out of 365. To be honest, I don't know much about him. I only know that he lives a very free life. After all, he's not short of money, he doesn't have to clock in at work, and he occasionally goes on adventures in the wild. It's perfectly normal for us to be unable to contact him like today."

"What if you have an emergency and can't contact the homeowner? Don't you have a backup contact person? Or an assistant or something?"

"No, we didn't have that. We asked for it before, but he said he was alone and if anything happened and he couldn't contact us, he could just ask us to handle it."

"He lives in this villa by himself?"

"Yes, he comes back alone when he does. I've never seen him bring a girlfriend or any female companion."

Xun Zhou hissed softly, "His interpersonal relationships are really quite simple."

No job, no friends, you could even say I have no life.

It's utterly useless!
However, the simpler the interpersonal relationships around you are, the more difficult it is to investigate.

Because there's simply no way to start!

Chu Yuan listened to Xun Zhou's conversation with the butler, then looked up at the two villas closest to them.

He had a feeling that the owners of these two villas probably knew less about their neighbor, Lin An, than the butler in front of him.

But no matter what, I have to go and ask someone.

"You stay here and keep watch. I'm going to visit those two villas on the left and at the back."

"Okay, go quickly."

Chu Yuan, accompanied by a cameraman, went to the villa on the left and pressed the video doorbell installed next to the gate. After a while, he heard the call connected and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Also, there are people at this house.

Even a maid or something would be fine.

He cleared his throat, looking at the surveillance camera. "Hello, I'm from the police station. I'm here to ask about the villa on your right. Is this convenient?"

“I’m just a nanny; the family has all gone out.”

"It's okay, I'm just asking a few simple questions."

"Then wait a moment."

"Ok."

After waiting a while, a woman wearing an apron came out of the villa and opened the side door.

Noticing there was another camera, she quickly covered her face, "Why is someone taking pictures?"

"Don't worry, your face and address will be blurred." "That's good." The older woman then lowered her hand and took a closer look at Chu Yuan's auxiliary police uniform. "What do you want to ask? Wait, why do you look a little familiar? Like that actor who played the general in a TV series I watched not long ago, what was his name again?"

Chu Yuan was already used to it. "Call me Chu Yuan."

"Yes, yes, no, that's not right either. So who exactly are you...?"

"Sis, we're currently filming an experiential variety show. This time, we're experiencing the profession of auxiliary police officers, but we're actually investigating cases."

The older woman beamed with joy at being called "sister," and seemed quite intrigued.

I never imagined that I would suddenly meet the actors I had only ever seen on TV, and even talk to them face-to-face so closely!

"By the way, what did you want to ask?"

“It’s that villa on the right,” Chu Yuan said, pointing to it. “Do you know anything about the owner of that villa? Have you ever run into them when you come and go?”

"What happened to that villa? Did someone die there? My God..."

Chu Yuan quickly interrupted her digression, "No, no, it's just investigating the other party's situation, nothing at all."

"Oh, at least no one got killed. I pass by the villa on the right when I go out to buy groceries, but it's always closed eight or nine times out of ten. I've been working here for almost two years, and I can count the number of times I've seen the owner of that villa on one hand. He's a pretty young guy, and it seems like he lives alone. He's a really nice person. Once, I bought too much stuff at the supermarket in the neighborhood, and the bag leaked. That young man happened to be jogging, and he stopped to pick it up for me and even carried it all the way to the door."

"Hmm, is there anything else?"

"Let me think... Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately. The information he had obtained so far hadn't been of much value, but this time he was sure he'd get something of greater value.

The viewers in the live stream were also eagerly awaiting the next clue.

"That young man seems to know the people living in the villa behind him. I once saw the two of them talking face to face in front of the villa."

This is indeed a more valuable piece of news.

Chu Yuan thanked the woman and, without thinking, quickened his pace to head towards the villa behind.

After ringing the doorbell, I stood at the door for a few seconds before calming down.

He had just realized that if Lin An really had a problem, then the people living in the villa behind the house who knew Lin An might also be members of that behind-the-scenes organization.
He just came up to me so abruptly... Thinking about it, I couldn't help but take a big step back.

Although it's unlikely that the other party would kill him as soon as they appeared, this person could very well be the second member of that organization they encountered besides Feng Xiaoyu!
The viewers in the live stream reacted quickly as well.

The initial joy at receiving a useful clue quickly turned into worry as Chu Yuan rushed over and carelessly rang the doorbell.

[That was reckless! What if the people living in this villa are also from that organization?]

[They're live streaming right now, they shouldn't be hurting people in the live stream, right?]

[Rest assured for now. Given this organization's secretive nature, they probably wouldn't do something so serious in front of the camera.]

That's right, stirring up trouble behind the scenes is their consistent style.

But we should be prepared for the worst; what if we act impulsively?

Judging from Chu Yuan's actions, he must have realized what was happening; it's best to be on guard.

This time, after waiting for almost a minute, just when Chu Yuan thought no one was at the villa and didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved, a somewhat lazy woman's voice came from the doorbell speaker, "Wait a moment."

Chu Yuan felt his heart leap into his throat.
