Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 114 Respect for the Famous Detective

"Dali, how did you know our names? Is there something we didn't do well enough?" Wanyu asked curiously.

"It's not that we didn't do enough, it's that we did too much," Dali said honestly. "The more we do, the more traces we leave. The more traces we leave, the clearer the truth becomes."

Seeing the two's slightly confused expressions, Dali continued to explain, "If you try too hard to hide yourselves, it will seem very deliberate. Once we can deduce that you're disguised and here for Zhanbo, all we need to do is ask Zhanbo which girls he's close to."

"Then how can you tell who's who?" Curry Sauce asked curiously.

"Because I recognize you."

Dali never keeps you in suspense: "More than three months ago, when I went to register for university, my phone ran out of battery, and you lent me a power bank and gave me a drink."

"Thank you very much, curry sauce."

Dali nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"Uh..." Curry Sauce stared blankly, desperately trying to remember.

Is this true?

Seeing this, Wanyu shook her head helplessly: "Have you forgotten again?"

"For a normal person's memory, it's perfectly normal to forget someone you met more than three months ago," Dali explained for Curry Sauce. "In fact, even I wouldn't recognize Curry Sauce dressed like this; I only recognized her by her name and approximate height."

After a while, Curry Sauce finally slapped his forehead and laughed heartily: "I remember now, there was such a thing."

"I remember it was you who suggested that I move into Love Apartment. Thank you, Dali sister. Thanks to your suggestion, I'm super, super happy living in the apartment."

Curry Sauce made a big circle to show how happy she was.

Although Dali's appearance in Curry Sauce's memory is still blurry, it does not diminish her gratitude towards Dali.

Even though she is still making a living through part-time jobs, at least she now has friends around her and goals for the future.

She is very confident that she will one day become an excellent voice actress.

Moreover, this day will definitely not be in the distant future, but will be just around the corner.

Curry Sauce's gratitude was heartfelt, but Dali felt unworthy of it: "I only gave you a suggestion; it's up to you to actually do it."

"In today's society, I'm already very grateful if someone can give me a suggestion."

"Without you, my pig brain would never have thought of what you said, and I don't know what kind of life I would be living now."

Seeing the two of them thanking each other, Wan Yu's brows relaxed.

After the two finished thanking her, Wanyu continued, "Dali, how did you know I was Wanyu?"

"There are only four girls who might be following Zhanbo. I know Curry Sauce and Teacher Hu. The only other ones are Wanyu and Meijia."

Dali pulled her lollipop out of her pocket and handed it to Curry Sauce, who had dropped it on the ground: "Meijia loves lollipops, but you don't react much to them."

"Oh, I see..."

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground. It was already embarrassing enough to be discovered while secretly spying on others, let alone having their names easily identified by a child.

If everyone finds out about this, they'll be laughing at the two of them for ages.

"Let's get back to the main topic. Although I don't know why you two are here secretly spying on Zhanbo, there must be a big misunderstanding here."

Before Wanyu and Curry Sauce could ask any more questions, Dali succinctly explained the whole story of tonight.

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce's faces grew darker as they listened. When they heard the truth, Curry Sauce couldn't hold back any longer: "It's...it's that simple?"

In comparison, Guan Gu's reasoning is ridiculously wrong.

What secret Zhanbo can't tell, what mother-daughter relationship, what deeper truth...?

That's complete bullshit!

So what were they doing all night, changing their appearance and dressing up, and watching educational videos in silence?

Is this to showcase Guan Gu's deductive reasoning skills, which allow him to cause trouble far and wide within the apartment?

This is so embarrassing!!!

"It's that simple, but what you're thinking seems much more interesting than the truth. If it's convenient, could you tell me?"

Dali was also very curious about how they could think of such a simple thing in such a distorted way that even they themselves could not understand it.

"Here's what happened..."

Wan Yu sighed. Since the two of them had already embarrassed themselves to this extent, there was no need to hide it any further.

So, in a fit of despair, she blurted out everything that had happened that night, including the amazing deductions of a certain Mr. Wonder.

After listening to Wanyu's story, even Dali was stunned into thought.

"How exactly did he manage to deduce such outrageous truths, even those that third-rate screenwriters wouldn't dare to write, while maintaining a pragmatic and truth-seeking approach?"

Dali was deeply shocked for the first time.

Indeed, the world is full of wonders, and I still know too little about it.

"Dali, Zhanbo doesn't know about this yet, does he?" Wanyu pleaded with Curry Sauce, "Could you...?"

Dali nodded understandingly and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Zhanbo about this."

"That's good..." Wan Yu and Curry Sauce both breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhanbo finds out about this, they will be utterly humiliated.

"So what are you planning to do next? Are you going back to continue watching the movie?"

The two shook their heads repeatedly, and Wanyu pushed her hand away, saying, "Dali, we really don't like watching educational films. Now that we've figured things out, we're naturally planning to go back."

"Yes, we need to go back and deal with some unreliable person."

"Oh..." Dali nodded understandingly, but his expression showed a hint of disappointment.

She still really likes her two older sisters.

After all, no matter how good Nanfeng and Zhanbo are, they are still boys, and there are still differences between the same sex and the opposite sex.

Wanyu noticed Dali's disappointment. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and said, "Dali, let's add each other's contact information."

"If you have time, Curry and I will take you out to play, and we'll do some things that girls usually do together."

"Yes, yes, you're Teacher Nanfeng's sister, which means you're our friend." Curry Sauce quickly pulled out her phone and grinned at Dali.

"Dali, let's exchange contact information. I'll treat you to a big meal when I get my salary, as a way of thanking you for that crucial suggestion."

"I rarely treat people to fancy meals, so you absolutely can't refuse!"

Wan Yu nodded: "I can vouch for it. Curry Sauce has been at the apartment for so long, but apart from the thank-you banquet for Nanfeng, she has never treated us to a big meal."

"There's not much to celebrate. I'll treat you all to dinner after I pass my exams next month."

"Then you'd better study hard for the exam, I'm still waiting to mooch off your big meal."

The two looked at Dali, chatting and laughing, and gestured for her to take out her phone.

Dali frantically rummaged through her pockets, pulled out her phone, and exchanged contact information with the two men.

After Wanyu and Curry Sauce left the theater hand in hand, Dali carried her full bag of snacks back to her own theater.

By this time, Xiong Nini, who had failed as a matchmaker, had already returned to her own theater, leaving Zhanbo alone watching the educational film with great interest.

Judging from Zhanbo's nonchalant demeanor, it was clear that the girl Nini had described as the perfect match for Zhanbo had not affected him in the slightest.

"Dali, why did you take so long to go to the bathroom? Let me tell you, you missed so many interesting parts of the story..."

Zhanbo was very happy to see Dali return, but his gaze quickly shifted to the large bag of snacks in Dali's hand.

"Hey, where did you get this bag of snacks?"

"I just ran into two friends, and they gave it to me."

Dali gently placed the bag of snacks next to the fruit flower. She didn't eat snacks and fruit much, but these two things together were enough for her to eat for more than half a month.

"friend?"

"Um."

Dali watched the educational film intently, a slight smile playing on his lips.

I have three friends now.

……

"Guan Gu! Guan Gu!"

Wanyu and Curry pushed open the door of 3602 and rushed in.

At this moment, Guan Gu and Mei Jia were sitting on one side of the dining table, while a bespectacled man who looked several years older than Guan Gu sat quietly on the other side like a robot that operated with mottled gears.

Guan Gu was holding a pen and paper, intently writing something down.

Meijia lay sprawled on the table, her once-stylish hair now a complete mess, scratching her head in despair with a look of utter despair.

"Wanyu, Curry, why are you back so soon?"

Guan Gu looked at the two of them in surprise, then decisively said to his senior brother Du Jun, "Senior brother, I have some things to take care of, please wait a moment."

Du Jun remained silent: "..."

"..."

"Okay..." he managed to utter a single word.

Guan Gu moved his wheelchair over to Wan Yu and Curry Sauce: "Wan Yu, Curry, why are you back so soon?"

"Could it be... that the truth is really as I deduced, and Zhanbo has already fallen into the Queen of the Sea's trap?"

Wan Yu slapped the sofa and said loudly, "Guan Gu, your reasoning is simply..."

"Sherlock Holmes is alive!" Curry Sauce gave a thumbs up.

"Based solely on a single sentence from Curry Sauce and your understanding of Zhanbo, you meticulously unraveled the mystery layer by layer, ultimately guessing the entire truth. All the famous detectives in Japanese history combined probably couldn't match your skill."

Wan Yu exclaimed in admiration, "The truth of the matter is exactly as you deduced. We listened through the radio and found that Xiong Nini was actually a super-duper ocean. On one hand, she used the child to arouse Zhanbo's sympathy and protective instincts, and on the other hand, she was entangled with someone else."

"What?!" Guan Gu nearly jumped out of his wheelchair upon hearing this. "Then, did you tell Zhanbo?"

Curry Sauce was very annoyed: "We told them, but it was no use. Zhanbo has been completely brainwashed by that sea queen, and he won't listen to anything we say. Not to mention that Xiong Nini is right next to Zhanbo, and she's too cunning for us to handle."

"Not only that, she also instigated Zhanbo to deceive Yifei. Yifei is still in the dark and thinks that Zhanbo went to the movies with Nanfeng's sister." Wanyu said indignantly.

"Outrageous!" Guan Gu angrily slammed his wheelchair. "This woman has gone too far! And Zhanbo, how could Zhanbo lie to his own sister!"

"Sigh," Wanyu sighed, "Zhanbo already has low emotional intelligence, and after falling into the illusion of love, his brain just becomes even less sharp."

Guan Gu rubbed his chin; "Indeed, love makes people stupid."

He suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "But we can't just watch Zhanbo continue down this path."

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance and sighed, "Yes."

Wanyu patted Guangu on the shoulder: "That's why we discussed it for so long, and then we had to come to you."

Curry Sauce patted Guan Gu's other shoulder: "In this situation, the only one who can make Zhan Bo see the error of his ways is Sister Yi Fei, but Sister Yi Fei is Zhan Bo's sister after all, and we're worried that she won't believe us."

"That's true." Guan Gu nodded. "After all, Yi Fei is definitely biased towards Zhan Bo, and who would believe that Zhan Bo would dare to deceive Yi Fei?"

"That's right. So we need someone with extremely strong reasoning skills to use their meticulous reasoning to deduce the truth of the matter from Yifei, and use the truth to make Yifei believe in us and finally stand on our side."

Wan Yu gently supported the wheelchair as she spoke.

Curry Sauce, supporting herself on the other side of the wheelchair, said, "After thinking it over, we realized that you're the only one in the entire Love Apartment with this ability."

"I'm a little embarrassed by what you're saying."

Guan Gu laughed shyly, but then he thought of Yi Fei and felt a little apprehensive: "But..."

"No buts. Guan Gu, all the men in the apartment are away. Now you're the only real man left." Wan Yu didn't give Guan Gu a chance to speak or think. "Guan Gu, Zhan Bo's life and future depend entirely on you."

"Exactly, where else can we find a great detective with extraordinary reasoning abilities besides you, Guan Gu?"

Curry Sauce and Wan Yu exchanged a knowing glance and quickly pushed the wheelchair toward room 3601.

"No...you guys..." Guan Gu looked surprised.

Wan Yu said anxiously, "It's too late, Guangu. If this drags on any longer, who knows what kind of trouble that Xiong Nini will cause Zhanbo."

"Yes, Guangu, remember this: no matter how Yifei explains it to you, it's all lies Zhanbo told her to fool her. You must not be fooled by what she says."

"Go for it, Guan Gu! You can do it!" Curry Sauce cheered Guan Gu on.

The two pushed Guan Gu to the door of 3601.

"Guan Gu, you're good enough to handle this kind of reasoning and persuasion on your own, so we won't go in." Wan Yu said seriously. "Curry Sauce and I plan to split up and go find Nan Feng and Teacher Zeng. We can only save Zhan Bo better if we all get together. I'll leave the task of persuading Yi Fei to you."

Curry Sauce nodded emphatically: "Guan Gu, there's no time to lose, we can't hesitate any longer. If Zhan Bo gets caught up in that sea queen's trap and ends up having sex with her, leaving evidence against him, then even Yi Fei won't be able to save Zhan Bo."

Everything happened so suddenly that Guan Gu is still a little overwhelmed.

However, what Wanyu and Curry Sauce said was exactly Guan Gu's own reasoning, and seeing that the two of them looked like the situation was urgent and they didn't have much time to think, Guan Gu quickly got into the zone as well.

Looking at the door of 3601, Guan Gu gritted his teeth and said, "Since things have become so urgent, as Zhanbo's friend, we really can't hesitate any longer."

"Leave Yifei to me. I will definitely convince her with irrefutable truth."

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce clapped their hands repeatedly: "Guan Gu, everything depends on you! We will never forget your contribution, and we will definitely thank you when Zhan Bo realizes his mistakes!"

"Guan Gu... no, Mr. Detective Fantastic, hurry up and use your amazing reasoning to win over Yi Fei!"

With teary eyes, the two watched as Guan Gu maneuvered his wheelchair into 3601, then slammed the door shut behind him.

The two held hands, looked at each other, their faces full of friendship.

"Wanyu, are we done acting now?" Curry Sauce asked. "I feel so nauseous."

"Me too……"

The two silently retched and slowly walked back to 3602.

"Wanyu, Curry Sauce, how's the situation now?" Meijia, who had no choice but to stay here to entertain her senior brother, asked anxiously, tidying her messy hair.

"Condition?"

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce sat on the sofa and laughed heartily: "Everything is going according to plan."

"What do you mean? Zhanbo is already trapped by Haihou, how can you still be laughing?" Meijia was completely confused.

"Sea Queen? What sea queen?" Wan Yu ran to the restaurant to get a glass of water and waved to her senior brother.

"The truth is that Zhanbo took Nanfeng's fourteen-year-old god-sister to see an educational film. That Xiong Nini is Ziqiao's girlfriend, and the four of them just happened to meet at the movie theater." Wanyu shrugged, as if to say that the truth was that simple.

"But you two just said..." Mika finally realized what was happening, covering her mouth in astonishment, "Oh my god, are you two messing with Guan Gu?"

Curry Sauce was full of resentment: "Who told Guan Gu to make such outrageous deductions? Mei Jia, you have no idea, when we finally found out the truth, we felt like we were a pair of clowns."

"So you're going to use your trump card to blow up Guan Gu?" Mei Jia exclaimed.

"The three of us are a detective team, and we're all about sticking together through thick and thin. We can't let him be the one making the deductions and we're the only ones who lose face," Wan Yu chuckled. "The main problem is that we're too soft-hearted and embarrassed to tell Guan Gu how outrageous his deductions are."

Curry Sauce added, "But Sister Yifei will make him personally experience just how much harm his reasoning can cause."

Wanyu and Curry Sauce clapped their hands in celebration.

Meijia thought about it and wanted to bring Guangu back, but after estimating the time, it seemed that it would be too late to go there now.

So she could only sigh, "I thought Guan Gu was really some kind of famous detective."

"He wouldn't be a famous detective, but he could certainly be called a little Zhuge Liang," Wan Yu said with a smile. "Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was a strategist who could plan and win battles from afar."

"But Guan Gu is something else; he orchestrates events within the apartment complex while causing harm far and wide."

Wan Yu said, "I've figured it out now. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. I'm going to stay up all night watching Detective Conan. I can't let myself be fooled again."

"Wanyu, don't say that. At least you know Zhanbo's feelings tonight." Curry Sauce chuckled.

Meijia was making tea for her senior brother when she heard this, her eyes lighting up: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Only the eldest brother silently said, "Tea..."

"Tea……"

"Oh, Senior Brother, I was just pouring you tea." Meijia didn't even look up, but asked the two of them with a gossipy look, "What's going on? What did Zhanbo say? Tell me, my dear sister!"

"Tea……"

"Sister Meijia, let me tell you... mmm..." Curry Sauce was about to speak when Wanyu covered her mouth with her hand.

Meijia looked displeased: "Wanyu, this is no fun. Do you know how bored I am today?"

Guan Gu's senior brother was a real oddball. It was the first time Mei Jia had ever seen someone speak so slowly, and he was also quite boring.

If she weren't Guan Gu's personal assistant, she would have run away long ago.

"Tea……"

"..."

"...It's full," the senior brother said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Meijia glanced at the water-strewn dining table and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Senior Brother, I'll clean it up right away."

She put down the teapot and rushed to the kitchen to get a dishcloth.

Just then, Yifei's angry shout finally came from 3601: "Three! Two! One!"

"Flash!"

With a muffled thud, Guan Gu's cry of pain echoed throughout the Love Apartment.

"Ogasan! (Mama!)"

"Guan Gu!" Mei Jia quickly put down the rag and ran to 3601.

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance.

"Wanyu, haven't we gone too far?"

"Don't worry, Guan Gu is injured, Fei Fei knows what she's doing." Wan Yu blinked. "Besides, aren't you unhappy right now?"

"Awesome, so awesome!"

Wan Yu and Curry Sauce exchanged a glance and revealed an evil smile.

The two of them clapped and celebrated simultaneously.
