823 Qiao Xin’s Use

“Of course.”

Qiao Xin said affirmatively, “Back then, I rented a house here because of this. If I encounter any hooligans or robbers, the surveillance cameras will record them. None of them will be able to escape.”

“Let’s go to the property management and get the surveillance footage.”

Qiao Xin shivered, feeling a little nervous.

“Brother Lin, don’t scare me. What happened?”

“Kid, don’t ask about adult matters.”

“Oh, oh.” Qiao Xin nodded. “I’ll go change. I’ll be right out.”

Lin Yi really didn’t want to share this kind of news with an innocent girl like Qiao Xin.

This was to prevent her worldview from being affected.

Moreover, she was a diehard fan of Conan.

If she knew that such a strange thing had happened to her, she would probably imagine a theatrical version of Conan.

Suddenly, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

As the saying goes, if you learn 300 Tang poems by heart, even if you don’t know how to compose poems, you can still recite them.

Qiao Xin had watched Conan for so many years and was familiar with thousands of mysterious killing techniques and suspenseful plans.

If he told her about this, would it be effective?

As Lin Yi was thinking about these things, Qiao Xin had changed her clothes.

She was wearing blue jeans and a red windbreaker. She even wore a pair of knee-length boots, which made her outfit stand out and accentuated her figure.

“I’m just going to the property management to check the surveillance footage. Why are you dressed like this?”

“You’re so handsome. I can’t embarra.s.s you,” Qiao Xin said smugly.

“When we walk out later, others will definitely think that we’re a couple, but they definitely won’t say that our statuses are compatible. Instead, they’ll say that this woman seems to be something special.”

“Hurry up and be normal. We still have work to do,” Lin Yi said speechlessly.

“It’s not easy for me to have a chance to be alone with you. I have to make use of it, don’t you think?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Come on, let’s get down to business.”

The two of them left the house and walked towards the property management office under Qiao Xin’s lead.

However, when they pa.s.sed by the convenience store, Lin Yi went in to buy two packs of premium cigarettes, then entered the property management with Qiao Xin.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m looking for your property manager,” Qiao Xin said to the staff at the front desk.

“h.e.l.lo, ma’am. What can I do for you?”

“I suspect that our house has been robbed, so I want to check the surveillance footage. If you have the authority, please help me.”

“Please wait a moment. I’ll call our manager over.”

The burglary at home was no small matter. The staff at the front desk did not dare to be careless. They hurriedly ran out and called the property manager down from the second floor.

The manager was a middle-aged man in his forties. Other than his hair being rather lush, he had all the characteristics of a middle-aged man.

The b.u.t.tons on his shirt were unb.u.t.toned, revealing the golden necklace inside. He was still holding the walkie-talkie in his hand. If he wore a tie, he would have the aura of a superior.

Seeing the property manager come down, Qiao Xin walked up.

“h.e.l.lo, manager. I think our house has been robbed. I want to check the surveillance cameras.”

“Are you sure you’ve been robbed? This kind of thing isn’t a small thing.”

“I’m just suspicious, so I want to check the surveillance footage to confirm it.”

“Did you bring the deed and ID?”

“I’m renting the house. I only have my ID.”

“Then there’s nothing we can do. If we check the surveillance footage, it will affect the privacy of other residents, so we can’t just share it with you.” The property manager said,

“But if you really need this, you can go to the police station to call the police first and then get the officers from the police station to come over. That way, we can check the surveillance cameras for you.”

“Does it have to be so troublesome? We’re just taking a look,” Qiao Xin said unhappily.

“I’m a doctor at Huashan Hospital. My Brother Lin is a businessman. We’re all professional people. We must have a reason for coming to check the surveillance cameras. Why would we do anything bad?”

“There’s nothing we can do about this. We’re just following the rules,” the property manager said unmoved.

“Why are you like this? You’re so unreasonable.”

“He’s doing things according to the rules. We don’t have the right to criticize him.”

Lin Yi pulled Qiao Xin behind him and handed her the bag with a smile.

The property manager looked down and his eyes lit up.

These two Chinese products added up to more than 1,000 yuan. They were definitely good stuff.

“Dude, what do you mean by this?”

“Nothing much. I just want you to do me a favor. Can you help me with this?”

The property manager smacked his lips. “Theoretically, this won’t do.”

“Then let’s talk upstairs. This isn’t a good place to discuss this,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Alright, it’s quite cold. I just made a pot of tea. Have a sip to warm yourself up.”

“Let’s go.”

Upstairs, Qiao Xin thought that Lin Yi was going to sit down with the property manager to drink tea and chat. She didn’t expect to be brought into the surveillance room.

Qiao Xin pursed her lips. When it came to the ways of the world, she was far inferior to Brother Lin.

“When did it happen? I’ll help you investigate.”

With that said, the property manager seemed to have thought of something and asked,

“Which building do you live in?”

“Building 14, Unit 3,” Qiao Xin said.

“Then when do you want to check the surveillance cameras for?”

Lin Yi thought about it. It had been four days.

“Then it’s gone,” said the property manager.

“The surveillance camera on Building Fourteen just happens to be broken. It seems like something went wrong four days ago.”

Lin Yi’s expression froze, confirming his thoughts.

The matter was not simple. Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental.

“Brothers, if you really suspect that there’s a thief, I can help you check the entrance and exit to the neighborhood.” The property manager said.

“The supervision of our community is quite strict. The strangers outside need to sign to enter. If you want to investigate, I can help you.”

“Then there’s no need for that for now. In any case, we’re only suspicious.”

The property manager smiled in embarra.s.sment.

“This doesn’t help you much. Take your things back.”

“No need, it’s not much.” Lin Yi smiled.

“My sister lives in your neighborhood. If anything happens in the future, just take care of her.”

“That’s definitely not a problem. Let’s just act liie we know each other in the future. We can talk if anything comes up.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Yi and Qiao Xin returned home.

As a longtime fan of Conan, Qiao Xin also felt that something was wrong.

Brother Lin wanted to check the surveillance footage for the past four days, but the surveillance footage happened to be broken four days ago.

Although there was a possibility of this being a coincidence, the chances of this being the case were miniscule.

Hence, Qiao Xin felt that there might really be something going on.

Back in her room, Qiao Xin changed into her loose pajamas again.

Then, she took out some fruits for Lin Yi from the fridge.

“Brother Lin, have some fruit.”

“Um… you don’t have any stockings in the fridge, do you?”
