Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 448 Do you know each other?

When Su Miaoyi and Shen Yanzhou arrived at Weiyang Palace, the surveillance cameras had already been restored.

The police were also there.

There are only a few households on their floor.

The police have already checked several households.

After they arrived and registered, the police followed the two of them upstairs.

They weren't from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but from a branch office near Weiyang Palace.

Su Miaoyi had reported the Ji family to the police because they had spread rumors about her and Zhuang Yanzheng, but she hadn't seen the people who came today before.

"Did you two come together?" the policeman asked.

“We are siblings,” Shen Yanzhou said. “We live across the hall from each other. It’s almost Chinese New Year, so we’re going home.”

"That's right."

Once upstairs, both sides conducted a joint search, and several police officers followed Shen Yanzhou to his side.

The property security guards also came up.

There were also four police officers on Su Miaoyi's side.

She checked the door lock and saw no signs of it being forced open.

They opened the door, turned on the light, and went inside.

I checked everywhere, but there was no one there, and no sign that anyone had been inside.

The four policemen breathed a sigh of relief.

The same goes for Shen Yanzhou's side; no one has gone in.

"With the end of the year approaching, there are a lot more thieves. They might have bypassed the security cameras, but once they got in, they found the door wouldn't open and left."

Su Miaoyi looked around: "Thieves rarely come to neighborhoods like this."

The policeman looked at her: "So who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know," Su Miaoyi said.

The police officer looked at her.

Su Miaoyi asked, "Was the entire building checked?"

"After you two are checked, it's your turn upstairs. The property management called and said they'll be there soon."

"We've arrived. I just saw the elevator go up and stop upstairs."

"Someone lives upstairs again?" Su Miaoyi asked in surprise.

Shen Yanzhou shook his head; he hadn't stayed here for a while.

"It's been about two weeks, right? They just moved in," the property manager said.

Su Miaoyi thought for a moment, about two weeks, when she was in Jiangcheng.

"The upstairs owner is quite busy; since they moved in, they've only come three times in total."

He had just finished saying that.

Suddenly a shout came from upstairs.

The soundproofing here is pretty good, but because the door was open and the shouting was loud, they still heard some of it.

"Leave two people behind, the rest of you come upstairs with me." The police immediately went upstairs.

"Brother, you wait here."

"be careful."

Su Miaoyi closed the door and tried to follow the police upstairs, but was stopped: "It's dangerous up there, please wait here."

Su Miaoyi showed him her police ID.

"Municipal Bureau"

Su Miaoyi nodded and ran upstairs.

When she arrived, she didn't show her police ID because she didn't want to exchange pleasantries and wanted to skip that step.

If nothing's wrong, she'll go home; if something is wrong, she'll just grab the person, beat them up, and then show her police ID to get things done. She doesn't think it'll cause any delays.

By the time they got upstairs, the person had already been caught.

Su Miaoyi looked at the man squatting on the ground.

"What's going on?" the police officer who came up asked.

"This man came to someone's house to secretly take pictures of them, and he even wanted to secretly eat and live with them."

Su Miaoyi looked towards the doorway.

The woman stood in the doorway, glaring at the man with an angry expression, looking like she was about to yell at him at any moment.

Su Miaoyi walked to the door and was about to speak when the person inside slowly peeked out.

Su Miaoyi looked at her: "???"

Although the woman in the room was wearing a mask, she recognized her at a glance.

She was the female lead in the drama she watched that afternoon.

That one is very pretty.

She even searched for her online that afternoon to learn more about her. Her name is Jiang Xutong.

She then looked at the man squatting on the ground.

Stalker?

“I didn’t do anything. I’ve only been here a short while, and you’ve already arrived,” said the man squatting on the ground.

"You haven't done anything yet!" said the woman standing in the doorway. "You took two pieces of clothing from the closet and hid under the bed. If we hadn't come quickly, would you have put them on and been admiring yourself in the room?"

“I just picked it up to take a look,” the man said.

"You come to someone else's house, take their clothes and look at them, and you still have the nerve to do it!" The woman standing at the door wanted nothing more than to punch him.

The man still wanted to speak.

"Shut up!" the policeman snapped.

The man fell silent.

The man has been caught, and he claims he had no accomplices.

The room was thoroughly searched; there was no one else there.

While the police officer, Jiang Xutong, and her assistant were talking, Su Miaoyi asked the man a few questions.

The man had his eye on Jiang Xutong when she moved; he had been planning this for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Su Miaoyi told the police and then went downstairs.

"Let's go back," Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Yanzhou looked at the police officers beside him, said a few words, and then they decided to go back.

The two waited for the elevator, and Shen Yanzhou asked, "What's going on?"

“An illegitimate child has followed us home,” Su Miaoyi said. “It’s terrifying.”

"Is the new resident a celebrity?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "And it's quite a coincidence, she's the female lead in the drama I watched this afternoon, the one I said was very beautiful."

The elevator doors opened, and Su Miaoyi took a few steps forward, only to find that Shen Yanzhou was standing still.

She stopped and looked at him: "Brother?"

Shen Yanzhou handed her the car keys: "You go back first."

"Something's wrong with your brother," the voice in my head said.

“Isn’t he your brother?” Su Miaoyi said.

"What?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

Su Miaoyi walked up to him and looked at him: "Brother, do you know her?"

No wonder he gets distracted when she says other girls are pretty at home.

Shen Yanzhou remained silent.

Su Miaoyi smiled and said, "Brother, something's not quite right with you."

Shen Yanzhou raised his hand and pushed her forehead: "Are you going back by yourself, or are you waiting for me for a while?"

"Won't that bother you?" Su Miaoyi really wanted to stay, eager to know the first-hand information, but she was also afraid of disturbing them.

"Just say you want to stay." Shen Yanzhou pulled on her coat hood and led her back to his side.

Then an hour passed.

The police had been gone for a while, but Shen Yanzhou just sat in the living room, motionless.

Another half hour passed, and Su Miaoyi had gone to the restroom twice while drinking tea, but Shen Yanzhou still showed no intention of making a move.

"Brother, we have to get up early tomorrow morning to visit Grandma and Grandpa's cemetery."

"Let's go."

"where to?"

"go home."

Su Miaoyi: "???"

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

The sound wasn't very loud; it was her doorbell ringing.

She went and opened the door.

Shen Yanzhou couldn't see directly from her side, so she walked over there and saw Jiang Xutong standing at her door.

"Hello, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xutong was startled: "Oh, um... I dropped something on this balcony. I think someone lives here. Is no one home?"

“I live here,” Su Miaoyi said.

Jiang Xutong smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I just moved here recently and was just unpacking when it accidentally fell."

As she spoke, she heard footsteps again and turned her head to look.

After seeing Shen Yanzhou, she didn't say anything more.

The two looked at each other. Su Miaoyi's eyes darted around, observing them, before she silently took a step back.
　Ahhh, I'm so sorry, it's so late, it's almost 2 AM. Goodnight everyone, I'll check for typos in a bit.
