Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Open the Gate, There’s a Delivery

Xian Qianling had once discussed the nature of men with Wu Qiyi and also learned about your personality from her. Simply put, you were the kind of person who "responds to softness but not to harshness."

For example, imagine two girls asking for your help.

One is sexy and gorgeous, the other plain and unremarkable.

The sexy one commands and tempts with her body and money, even threatening; while the latter is shy and tearful. Needless to say, you would definitely choose the latter.

And many experiences afterward had verified the viewpoint Wu Qiyi had shared.

So, after much consideration, Xian Qianling decided to adopt a gentle approach, although she wasn’t sure if she could really pull it off.

After walking on a narrow path for a while, the cell phone in your pocket rang. It was an Apple 8S you had bought for two hundred yuan from a street vendor, who swore at the time of sale that it was the real deal or "may his entire family die otherwise."

It’s amusing that when this model was released the previous year, it cost over eight thousand for one, yet now a used one was only two hundred—phones really were like the hymen of women.

Since the phone was newly bought, only two people knew about it: the landlord and Xu Hai.

Taking it out, it indeed turned out to be Xu Hai calling.

"What’s up?"

Xu Hai sounded excited over the phone. "Brother Yun, I found something."

"Did you find the person?"

"No, no, it’s flowers, rose petals."

"Hold on, I’ll be right there."

Hearing it was rose petals, you hurriedly sprinted toward where Xu Hai was.

As Xian Qianling and the others were about to emerge from their hiding spot, they saw you running past quickly, glanced at each other, and quickly followed.

"Brother Yun."

You ran up to Xu Hai, covering about three hundred meters at full speed. Surprisingly, you stopped without feeling tightness in your chest or shortness of breath, which kind of surprised you.

But now wasn’t the time to focus on that. You asked Xu Hai, "Where are the petals?"

Xu Hai was standing by a flowerbed. He picked a dried rose petal from the flowerbed and showed it to you.

After a close look, you nodded slightly and asked, "Is there more?"

"Yes, look."

Following Xu Hai’s finger, you noticed several dried petals by the roadside, some of them covered by leaves and dust.

"We’ll follow the petals."

"Okay."

"But we must be careful. If it really is the murderer, it might be dangerous for both of us."

"No worries." Xu Hai was defiant. "I’ve learned Taekwondo!"

"Taekwondo? That fancy stuff is useless when it comes down to life and death. The simplest and most direct move is an attack on the vitals!"

Looking around and seeing no sticks or similar objects, you could only pick up a couple of handy stones, handing one to Xu Hai: "Sometimes, stones and bricks do the job just as well!"

Though he appeared unimpressed, Xu Hai still grabbed the stone.

The two of you didn’t walk fast. After all, the opponent was a murderous witch doctor, and you were only fueled by enthusiasm. If real trouble came, who knew if it could cost you your lives?

Suddenly, Xu Hai called out to you, "Brother Yun."

"Yeah?"

Xu Hai carefully asked, "Are you... scared?"

"Who isn’t scared these days? But we’ve come this far, do you think there’s any turning back now?"

The other shrugged and smiled.

"Let’s go, the person is just a Witch Doctor, not a martial arts expert. As long as we’re careful, there shouldn’t be any problems."

They walked a short distance, and then the petals disappeared.

"Hey, why did they disappear?"

As Xu Hai looked around, you patted his shoulder and pointed at the wall next to them.

The wall was over two meters high, usually too high to climb, but there were some piled-up miscellaneous items there that you conveniently used to get over the wall.

After climbing the wall, what appeared before you was an old-style dormitory building. These types of buildings used to house employees of large companies and were left vacant for renting after the employees moved away. In the vast Eastern Sea City, similar dorm buildings were still quite common.

"Brother Yun, there are petals here, and a good amount of them too. Oh, and there are bloodstains."

Looking down, sure enough, there were dried bloodstains on the ground, which indeed could prove that the deranged murderer had climbed the wall from this spot.

All the way here, no bloodstains had been seen; these bloodstains must have dropped when he jumped down from the wall. The dorm building’s backyard was rarely frequented by people and not tended to, so weeds grew wildly.

Following the petals and bloodstains, you came to a small door that appeared to be the rear entrance of the dorm building.

You gently pulled the handle, and the door opened.

Inside was a corridor, and as you walked down the corridor, you saw a door ahead open and a middle-aged man dressed in a vest and looking unkempt walked out.

He glanced at you and Xu Hai, rubbed his eyes, took a roll of toilet paper, scratched his half-exposed buttocks, and humming a tune, walked toward the other end of the corridor.

The building housed quite a few people; petals were not seen in the hallway, probably swept up, but occasionally, you could still spot a few droplets of blood. Following these traces, you went up to the third floor and finally stopped in front of room 307.

"Brother Yun, what should we do next?"

You paused and took a deep breath.

To tell the truth, this was the first time your heart had beaten this fast since you lost your memory.

At the same time, at the corner of the hallway, Zhang Zifeng reached for the pistol at his waist and whispered to Xian Qianling, "Captain, shall we go in?"

Xian Qianling raised her hand to stop Zhang Zifeng and said in a low voice, "Let’s wait and see."

Others had given Yian Qianling the nickname "Crazy Woman," but she was actually very cautious, particularly in dealing with criminal cases.

From the current situation, if it was just you and Xu Hai meeting the other party, it would just be a civil dispute. Once the criminal police got involved, it could get complicated. Moreover, at this moment, she wasn’t sure if the owner of 307 was the killer.

Furthermore, she wanted to see what you were capable of. If you had indeed lost everything, Xian Qianling would definitely step in to help at a critical moment.

After calming yourself down, your eyes showed an unparalleled determination.

"Haizi, step aside; if that guy sees two men as soon as he opens the door, he’ll definitely get suspicious."

"Alright." Xu Hai nodded and moved a few steps to the side. He didn’t go far, though, gripping a stone in his hand, ready to support you at any moment.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door was knocked once; there was no response.

Knock again.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Who is it?" A man’s voice came from inside.

Quickly thinking, you called out, "Delivery!"

"Oh, wait a moment, I’m coming!"
