Chapter 506: Heading Back to the Apartment
Chapter 506: Heading Back to the Apartment
After Wang Qingzhao came out, the group of them left the police station together."Hey, don't you think this is a bit too coincidental? We just got scammed by the fishpond rental yesterday, and that family got burned to death. Wonder which brave soul got revenge for us?"
Outside the police station, Qin Chuan looked curiously at the others.
Even though all of them present had been taken in for questioning.
He didn't think the murderer was among them. It just wasn't worth it.
Except for Zhang Xue, everyone else only paid 3,333 yuan.
Who would kill someone over such a small amount of money?
Sometimes, he loses more than that in a single bet.
"Don't know, but it really is a bit too coincidental. If I were the police, I'd suspect us too."
Gao Yang rubbed his nose.
Because he was called in too early, there were still obvious bits of sleep in the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Yiwan said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. I think the person who set the fire probably had a grudge against them originally, and the timing just happened to coincide with ours. After all, that family had terrible morals; they probably had plenty of enemies on a regular basis."
At this moment, Zhang Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. "Let's go, hurry back to the hotel, then drive to Xiaoshi Village."
Gao Yang asked, "What are we going back there for?"
Zhang Xue replied, "Isn't this perfect video material?"
Everyone suddenly understood.
Indeed, they scammed people yesterday and got revenge that very night.
If they put out this Renting a Fishpond video, it would definitely surpass the popularity of all other bloggers' fishpond rental videos.
After all, what people love to watch most is the play of 'evil gets its retribution, good gets its reward.'
And so, these people hurried to the hotel where they were staying.
Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao were naturally among them.
They followed Zhang Xue and the others.
They went straight back to the hotel and got in the car, not even having time to brush their teeth or wash their faces.
Soon, they were back at Xiaoshi Village.
Upon arriving at Xiaoshi Village, they made their way to the two-story cement house that had been burned pitch black.
At this time, a cordon had already been set up there, with many police officers going in and out.
Besides that, there were also many villagers from Xiaoshi Village watching the commotion outside.
Chattering and discussing nonstop.
Zhang Xue, Gao Yang, Qin Chuan, and Zhao Yiwan carried their cameras and went over.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao were at a certain distance from the horribly burned two-story cement house, in a clearing.
Wang Qingzhao stared at the house from afar.
She frowned for a long time.
Her two hands kept crossing and intertwining with each other.
After a long while, she glanced around, front, back, left, and right.
Seeing no one else near them.
She leaned her head close to Jiang Ran and asked in an extremely soft voice:
"What's your take on this matter?"
Jiang Ran said indifferently, "Evil gets its retribution, good gets its reward."
Wang Qingzhao said, "What about the murderer? Do you know who it is?"
Jiang Ran said, "How would I know? Probably done by someone who had a grudge against them! Probably a pretty big grudge too, otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to set a fire and burn five members of a family to death. Pretty brutal."
As he spoke, Jiang Ran even gave an exaggerated full-body shiver.
Looking at Jiang Ran's handsome profile illuminated by the sunlight.
Wang Qingzhao said, "Is it possible that the murderer could be you?"
It was phrased as a question, but carried a hint of a statement.
Her voice was somewhat melodious and lingering.
Jiang Ran's face didn't redden, his heart didn't race. "Don't throw dirty water on me."
"Is it because I'm not the Jiang Ran you originally liked, so love turned to hate, and you're taking revenge on me?"
Jiang Ran turned his head, looking down at Wang Qingzhao's mature elegant woman face.
"Of course, if you feel really bad in your heart, I can satisfy you once for free. Consider it me taking a loss. After all, I really have no interest in the whole 'lust' thing."
Wang Qingzhao looked up, meeting Jiang Ran's gaze directly, showing neither shyness nor evasion.
"Dream on. Between a man and a woman, the one who loses out is always the woman's side."
Just as the two were conversing.
Zhang Xue and the others finished shooting their video material and returned.
The returning group looked quite angry.
Upon asking, they learned that the villagers had singled them out as key suspects and wanted the police to arrest them.
After all, in this small village, anything that happened could spread throughout the entire village immediately.
Like yesterday's fishpond rental incident, it was the same.
If the police hadn't said they had already finished investigating them.
That they weren't the murderers, they'd probably still be surrounded by the villagers.
"Alright, let's go. The material's shot. I guarantee this Renting a Fishpond video will absolutely blow up! The follower growth will be off the charts!"
Gao Yang was very excited. He rarely got this excited, as he usually tried to maintain an image of a stable, calm guy.
Jiang Ran and the others all got back into that white SUV.
The car started and left Xiaoshi Village.
They arrived at the town hotel where they were staying.
After packing their respective belongings in the hotel room and loading them into the car.
The group drove off again, leaving this small town and heading towards Yang City.
When they reached Yang City, Zhang Xue felt they shouldn't have come all this way for nothing.
Therefore, they spent a day and a night playing in Yang City.
Only then did they drive back to Nancheng City.
Finally, at 11:30 today at noon.
The white SUV appeared in the residential community where Jiang Ran, Wang Qingzhao, and Zhang Xue's group had first met.
Upon arriving here, Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao also waved goodbye to Zhang Xue and the other four.
Wang Qingzhao's car was parked outside this residential community.
The two reached the outside of the community, in front of Wang Qingzhao's car.
Jiang Ran said with a smile, "Are you driving me back, or should I take a taxi myself?"
Wang Qingzhao said, "Of course I'm driving you back. Why would you even ask that?"
Jiang Ran replied, "Well, because I'm not the two Jiang Rans you like!"
Wang Qingzhao chuckled, "Alright, get in the car."
Wang Qingzhao dropped Jiang Ran off outside Alice Apartment and then drove away.
Watching the quickly departing black car, Jiang Ran just gave it a casual glance.
Perhaps he and Wang Qingzhao would have the fate of meeting again in the future, perhaps not.
"However, my main battlefield is still here right now."
Turning around, Jiang Ran's eyes fixed on the low-key, luxurious, and substantial-looking No. 1 apartment building before him.
As he stepped forward, preparing to enter via facial recognition.
His phone suddenly dinged.
Only after entering did Jiang Ran pull out his phone.
He saw it was a text message; his bank card had received a deposit. A full 600,000 yuan had arrived.
"Just like the money from the previous few times, this is also a transfer from You Sha Qi Comics."
Jiang Ran had already fully integrated all the memories since his transmigration, so without the slightest hesitation, he knew the source of this money.
Moreover, the transfer was marked with its origin.
However, he wasn't as foolish as the main personality who only had the kind memories.
Truly believing this was a generous donation from some wealthy, fanatical female fan who loved his comics.
Perhaps, in this world, such fanatical fans really do exist.
But Jiang Ran didn't believe something like that could happen to him.
"It must still be related to this apartment. Something like a reward? A reward for continuing to live here?"
He muttered to himself in his heart.
