Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 111 Sea Queen Xiong Nini

Curry Sauce led Wanyu to a secluded corner. She first made a voice call to Guan Gu, and then explained in detail what she had just witnessed.

"What?" Wan Yu covered her mouth in surprise. "You mean Xiong Nini went to see two movies with two different men one after the other?"

Curry Sauce nodded vigorously: "I saw it with my own eyes, and her attitude towards that man was much more passionate than her attitude towards Zhanbo outside the theater. Her voice was so alluring that even I, a girl, almost couldn't resist."

Curry Sauce got more and more excited as she spoke, and then she had a sudden inspiration and said, "Could it be that Zhanbo is just Xiong Nini's backup plan, and Xiong Nini just plans to play around with him and have Zhanbo help take care of her daughter?"

"Your guess is way too far-fetched," Wanyu retorted.

"Curry Sauce, reasoning needs to be based on evidence," Guan Gu said. "There were many people and distractions outside the theater just now, not to mention Xiong Nini's daughter was there too. It's reasonable for the two of them to keep a certain distance in front of the public and their daughter. This doesn't mean that Xiong Nini completely treats Zhanbo as a backup plan to take care of the child."

"That's true..." Curry Sauce still had a lot of faith in Guan Gu's reasoning skills.

Wan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the truth is not as complicated as we imagine?"

"Maybe Zhanbo and Xiong Nini are just good friends. Zhanbo just needed someone to watch an educational film with, and Xiong Nini was going to watch a movie with her boyfriend tonight. They hit it off and that's how we ended up like this?"

"And that man might be Xiong Nini's husband, or even the little girl's father."

"The family of three is living happily together, and Zhanbo is completely innocent. Isn't that wonderful?"

Wanyu always believed in Zhanbo's innocence. Judging from Zhanbo's behavior over the past few tens of minutes, he was really watching the educational film attentively. Even when he occasionally interacted with the little girl, it was all about the content of the educational film. He didn't even mention Xiong Nini's existence.

Although she was half asleep, she could still hear Zhanbo and the little girl's voices even in her dreams.

Wan Yu's reasoning made Curry Sauce and Guangu fall into deep thought.

Curry Sauce suddenly asked, "Then how do we explain when we heard Xiong Nini say 'Dear Zhanbo' earlier?"

"What does it prove that there's such a long interval of electrical noise in that sound?"

Wan Yu disagreed: "Maybe they meant 'My dear baby daughter should listen to Uncle Zhanbo.'"

Curry Sauce nodded: "That makes sense."

"Wanyu, I know you want to believe that Zhanbo is innocent, but you can't make inferences based on your own subjective opinions. Sometimes, the person you trust the most is the one who will cause problems."

[In his inner world, Guan Gu looked at his bookshelf full of mystery novels and comics, biting his pen as he pondered deeply.]

The final culprit in many famous mystery novels and comics is often someone you would never expect, which proves that evil lurks within everyone.

Regardless of what kind of person Zhanbo was before, once he got involved in this movie mystery, he's an equal suspect in my eyes.

This is me, Guan Gu Shenqi, an excellent detective thoroughly immersed in mystery comics and novels.

"Wanyu, I just checked the movie that Curry Sauce mentioned earlier, the theater number that's showing the movie. The showtime for that romance movie is almost the same as the showtime for the sci-fi movie that Zhanbo is watching now."

"If what you say is true, then these four people should have entered together, instead of waiting for several tens of minutes before the man came in from outside the theater."

"It's obvious that Xiong Nini doesn't want Zhanbo and her daughter to know about this person's existence, but judging from what Curry Sauce overheard, this man knows about the other two."

"Otherwise, Xiong Nini wouldn't have said that Zhanbo and Dali were already waiting in the science and education film screening room."

Curry Sauce nodded: "That makes sense."

At this point, Curry Sauce's intelligence was gradually falling behind the two's train of thought, not to mention that she was even less inclined to use her brain now that she was full.

Regardless of who makes a valid point, she should simply nod in support.

"Well... maybe the man got stuck in traffic, or maybe he went to the bathroom before the movie started," Wanyu said, unconvinced.

"Wait a moment." Guan Gu fell into a silent silence.

After a while, he continued, "I just checked the traffic situation around this cinema, and there haven't been any particularly long traffic jams in the past hour."

"If he were simply a few tens of minutes late, Xiong Nini's tone would likely be one of dissatisfaction and anger."

"Curry Sauce, say it again: what was Xiong Nini's tone of voice like when she first met that guy?"

Curry Sauce replied without hesitation, "It should be concern. Anyway, I didn't hear any dissatisfaction or anger."

Guan Gu continued, mentioning the second possibility that Wan Yu had just guessed: "If that man went to the toilet before the movie started, unless he deliberately stayed in the toilet and didn't come out, how could someone have spent almost an hour in the toilet?"

Even with normal diarrhea, you can't stay in the toilet all the time.

"If it's an abnormal situation, then he should be going to the hospital rather than the movie theater right now."

"Wanyu, reasoning requires evidence."

"Hmm..." Curry Sauce pondered for a long time, "It seems that what Guan Gu said does make more sense."

Wan Yu is now somewhat lacking in confidence.

She trusted Zhanbo a lot, but she also trusted Guangu's reasoning ability.

Guan Gu's reasoning, which emphasizes facts and evidence, and the air of complete control he exudes while reasoning, truly impressed Wan Yu.

Especially since Guan Gu's reasoning has been flawless so far, Wan Yu is even more convinced that Guan Gu is actually a hidden master detective.

"Guan Gu, how did you deduce that?" Wan Yu asked.

"I think Curry Sauce's guess was partly correct. This Xiong Nini is very likely a hidden mastermind, and her methods are extremely skillful."

"Faced with the simple and kind-hearted Zhanbo, she first used her status as his senior to create common topics, and then used her daughter to arouse Zhanbo's sympathy."

"And when she's with another man, she resorts to direct flirting and seduction. This kind of woman is truly terrifying."

Guan Gu himself was startled by his own reasoning.

As Wan Yu listened to Guan Gu's reasoning, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but her mind, which had just been startled awake from her sleep, couldn't really figure out what the problem was.

Perhaps I just couldn't keep up with Guan Gu's train of thought and pace.

That's true. If Guan Gu's thinking could be so easily guessed, wouldn't everyone be a famous detective?

Wanyu thought to herself silently.

"So what should we do now?" Curry Sauce asked.

Guan Gu thought for a moment and said, "We should now confirm whether this Xiong Nini is a playboy or not. If she is, we must stop her from targeting Zhanbo."

"Curry Sauce, did you notice anything else? It doesn't have to be about Xiong Nini, anything about that man is fine too."

Curry Sauce shook her head: "I was so nervous that I forgot to take off my sunglasses. It was all so dark that I was lucky to even recognize Xiong Nini's face."

"I don't know why, but I feel like that man's back looks a little familiar."

"Then that guy must be at least somewhat handsome," Wanyu joked.

Why?

"That's because you always feel like you've seen a handsome guy before."

Curry Sauce's eyes widened, and she slapped her thigh: "Damn, it seems to be true."

"Guan Gu, Curry and I will go to that theater to check things out first. We'll let you know as soon as we have any new leads," Wan Yu said, hanging up Curry's phone.

The two sneaked around and tiptoed to the back door of the theater where Xiong Nini was.

Wan Yu quietly opened the back door, quickly glanced at the backs of the people sitting inside, and then slipped out.

"How's it going? Is Xiong Nini inside?"

Wan Yu shook her head: "The theater was too dark, and it was showing a romance movie. All I could see were young men and women."

"Don't even mention that what I just saw was only a back view; even if it were a face view, I might not be able to see it clearly."

"So what do we do now? We can't just rush in and shout Xiong Nini's name, can we?"

Just as the two were at their wits' end, Curry Sauce suddenly pulled Wan Yu aside and whispered in her ear, "Look at this person walking out now, isn't that Xiong Nini?"

Wan Yu glanced back slightly, then lowered her voice and replied, "It really is. Why did she suddenly come out of the theater?"

Curry Sauce guessed, "Could she have gone to the educational film screening room? After all, she hasn't been in that screening room for several tens of minutes."

"Even if Zhanbo is naive and easily fooled, she still has to spend time trying to fool him."

"That makes sense..."

Wan Yu raised her index finger and placed it in front of her mask, signaling Curry Sauce to be careful not to let Xiong Nini hear.

She quickly made a gesture of silently following the curry sauce.

Only after Xiong Nini disappeared around the corner did the two slowly follow her.

Wanyu and Curry Sauce both poked their heads out from the corner of the wall at the same time, and then simultaneously withdrew.

"She really is heading in the direction of the educational film screening room," Curry Sauce whispered. "So what should we do? Go back to our seats and eavesdrop?"

"That's not a good idea. It would be too conspicuous if we followed her in right after she came in."

"Besides, it's too inconvenient for us to communicate in the theater. We can't expect Guan Gu and I to rely on typing to discuss solutions."

"That's true," Curry Sauce agreed. "Given Guan Gu's level of Chinese, it's really too much to ask him to communicate with us through typing at a high intensity."

Wan Yu thought for a moment, and then a brilliant idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

She excitedly grabbed Curry Sauce's hand: "Are our detective toolbox and all the food you bought still on our seats?"

"yes."

"Listen to Curry, I have an idea..."

I'm coming
