Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 108 Things Started to Turn Sinful

"This little girl is very likely Xiong Nini's daughter!"

"What?!!"

As Guan Gu made his brilliant deduction, Wan Yu and Curry Sauce exclaimed in unison.

Fortunately, the two of them knew to keep their voices down, and the movie theater wasn't exactly quiet, which prevented Zhanbo from hearing their exclamations.

"Guan Gu, are you sure? This isn't a joke." Wan Yu still couldn't believe it. "This Xiong Nini is only in her early thirties, how could she possibly have a child around ten years old?"

After her initial surprise, Curry Sauce came to believe Guan Gu's assessment. She whispered to Wan Yu, "Wan Yu, not everyone has children when they are twenty years older. I have classmates whose children can already talk."

"Your classmates' children can already talk, and they're still so young!"

Wan Yu was dumbfounded. This wasn't just a little outrageous; it was downright monstrous.

"Cough cough..." Curry Sauce waved his hand, unwilling to say more.

On the other end of the phone, Guan Gu's voice was very firm: "Wan Yu, please believe in reasoning, believe in the truth."

"When you eliminate all the impossibilities, whatever is left, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth!"

The famous detective Guan Gu said this in a magical way.

Although Wanyu didn't understand how Guan Gu had eliminated all the impossibilities, she still trusted Guan Gu's judgment very much.

After all, Guan Gu is a Japanese manga artist, and Japan has never lacked excellent mystery novelists and mystery manga artists.

Even if Guan Gu isn't a professional detective, he probably wouldn't be too far off, right?

"So this is the truth: Zhanbo was having an overly close relationship with a beautiful single mother..."

Curry Sauce rubbed his chin, looking unsatisfied: "This truth is plausible, but it feels much less interesting than we imagined."

Wan Yu still feels lingering fear when she thinks about Mei Jia and Curry Sauce's imagination: "The level of shock of this truth is just right. If it were really as you said, my heart couldn't take it."

"So what do we do now?" Curry Sauce asked curiously. "Should we continue monitoring them?"

Looking at Zhanbo chatting happily with the two women, one big and one small, Wanyu felt as if she had been filled with concentrated lemon juice that hadn't been diluted in Nanfeng's refrigerator.

It's so sour, so bitter, so sour it makes your teeth itch.

But what could she do now? She couldn't just rush up to Zhanbo, point her finger at him, and start yelling at him.

On what grounds?

She wasn't Zhanbo's girlfriend, and the two of them had never openly discussed pursuing each other. Strictly speaking, she and Zhanbo were just roommates.

"Let's go back," Wanyu said angrily. "Now that the truth is clear, let Zhanbo go to the movies if he likes to go with single mothers. We can't control him anyway."

"Or are you, Curry, genuinely interested in educational films?"

Curry Sauce shook her head repeatedly; if she were interested in educational films, she wouldn't have failed to go to university.

"Wait a minute!" Guan Gu suddenly said.

"Do you really believe that what you see before you is the whole truth?"

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce stared at their phones, completely stunned.

Could there be an even more shocking truth?

"Think about it, even if Zhanbo and Xiong Nini are really close, why would they bring Xiong Nini's daughter along to the movies?"

Wan Yu guessed, "Maybe Zhanbo wants to develop a relationship with her daughter, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Don't forget, Zhanbo only bought two tickets at first, and those tickets were supposedly extremely hard to get. Where did he get a third ticket?"

Curry Sauce looked at the tickets in his hand and almost burst out laughing: "This piece of junk is so hard to get tickets for. We bought two from scalpers for twenty yuan each."

Guan Gu seemed to have anticipated this, and he quickly retorted, "You bought your tickets just before the movie started. Can Zhanbo be absolutely certain that the scalpers' tickets won't be sold out before the movie starts?"

"Um...right, what if the tickets are already sold out? Wouldn't it be awkward if they excitedly brought a little kid to see an educational film?" Curry Sauce was convinced by Guan Gu.

Wan Yu felt a pang of regret: "So Zhanbo didn't spend another 500 yuan on a new movie ticket, did he? He's really rich and capricious."

Wanyu now treats every penny as if it were a precious treasure, knowing all too well what five hundred yuan truly means.

"Five hundred, I bet it'll cost more than that." Curry Sauce frowned and said, "If I were a scalper, and some idiot bought two movie tickets for five hundred each without even haggling."

"If he comes to me in a hurry to buy tickets again, I'd be considered too soft-hearted if I didn't sell them to him for two thousand yuan a ticket."

"So dark?" Wan Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Curry Sauce shook his head: "These days, business people are all ruthless."

"I've done so many part-time jobs, and very few of the bosses were good people, let alone these damn scalpers."

Curry Sauce's words instantly bolstered Guan Gu's previously somewhat unconvinced reasoning: "Just as Curry Sauce guessed, if Zhanbo has to pay such a high price to buy another ticket, why doesn't he spend another day getting along well with Xiong Nini's daughter? Why does it have to be tonight?"

"Therefore, I deduce that the truth of the matter is far more complex than what you see now."

Wanyu was a little confused now.

Guan Gu's every deduction is quite reasonable, but why does it feel so awkward?

Before this, Wanyu had absolutely no interest in reasoning and didn't have a deep understanding of it.

She remembered that reasoning should involve bold speculation, but after making bold speculations, shouldn't one carefully verify them?

It seems like every time Guan Gu makes a bold prediction, he immediately becomes so confident that he takes his prediction as fact, and then continues to make bold predictions based on that fact.

Won't this kind of speculation keep going and getting more and more off track?

Or is Guan Gu so confident that he believes every step of his reasoning is correct?

If that's really the case, then Guan Gu is practically Sherlock Holmes reincarnated.

Before Wanyu could sort out her doubts, Guan Gu's command came through: "Wanyu, do you have my detective toolbox?"

Wanyu quickly touched her backpack: "Yes, I packed it in my backpack."

"Then find my recording equipment. Although Xiao Hei hasn't been completely upgraded yet, it'll have to do for now."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Wanyu opened her schoolbag and took out her detective toolbox. "What does your radio antenna look like?"

"It's just an extra-long fountain pen, a Doraemon clock, and a black Bluetooth earphone case."

Guan Gu explained the usage to Wan Yu: "In a moment, you will press the switch at the end of the pen to open the pen cap, and bring it as close to Zhan Bo as possible."

"Then turn on the clock and point the hour hand in Zhanbo's direction."

"Use a distance of ten meters to roughly judge the distance between Zhanbo and you."

"The second hand indicates the estimated closest distance, and the minute hand indicates the estimated farthest distance. If Zhanbo is between 20 and 40 meters away from you, move the second hand to two and the minute hand to four."

"This way, when you turn on your Bluetooth headphones, you can accurately receive the sound within this direction and range."

"So high-tech?" Curry Sauce gasped. "What kind of monster is this little black guy? It seems so incredibly powerful!"

Wanyu opened the toolbox looking for a recording device: "Don't be fooled by how much black technology Xiao Hei has. Nanfeng said he has several times more failed products than black technology. Don't use his black technology recklessly before it passes testing, or you'll be ruined by his failures if you're not careful."

She quickly turned on the device according to the instructions provided by Guan Gu, and she and Curry Sauce each put on a Bluetooth headset.

Just then, Xiong Nini received a call from Ziqiao, but this scene was blocked by Zhanbo's tall figure, and neither of them saw it.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The loud electrical noise hurt Wan Yu and Curry's ears. Curry covered her ears and complained, "This thing isn't as high-tech as I thought."

"After all, the upgrade isn't completely finished yet, so it's normal for it to have some problems." Wanyu pointed to the headphones and reminded Curry Sauce, "Listen, there's sound now."

Wanyu and Curry Sauce listened carefully, only to hear a woman's voice coming through the static in their headphones: "Okay, darling (don't worry, I'll go in with) Zhanbo (and Dali first) when the movie starts."

Curry Sauce repeated to Guan Gu, word by word, "Okay, dear Zhanbo..."

Wan Yu gripped the corner of the table tightly with one hand, her teeth clenched so hard they seemed about to break.

"I understand, after all, everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes. Luckily, we all came in at the same time, so we had company."

"It's possible... in three... batches... all together..." Wanyu asked, puzzled. "Why do they need to go in in three batches when there are only three of them?"

At this point, Curry Sauce was too preoccupied to reply to Wan Yu; she just kept repeating, "Oh my god," with a blank expression.

"My God!" Guan Gu exclaimed in shock, "So this is the real truth... Zhanbo, Zhanbo... he... he... he's committed a crime!!!"

The naive Wanyu was completely baffled.
