Xiao Q and his two companions didn't suspect anything, as the woman before them could indeed be described as charming and flirtatious. Not just Manager Xiao Zhang, but even the three of them—if they had encountered such a woman outside Alice Apartment actively coming onto them—would have found it hard to resist.
Su Mi took a few steps forward, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Q and the other two with disdain. "Why do you three have so much blood and sweat on you? You smell terrible!"
"Hey, why is there someone lying over there?"
Taking a few more steps closer for a better look, Su Mi suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Isn't this the guy who's always pretending to be a dog in the apartment? Why is he here too? Hey, wake up!"
She nudged the Dog Man with her foot in disgust, but he remained motionless. After carefully examining the exaggerated and horrifying injuries on his body, she turned back to look at the three men lying on the floor staring intently at her.
As if realizing something, she immediately rushed to the security door in panic. "Oh my god! Did you three kill him?!"
"I need to call the police! No wonder Room 1001 was so noisy—you were doing this kind of thing inside!!!"
"Wait, hold on!" Xiao Q weakly raised his voice to stop Su Mi from dialing.
Clutching her phone tightly, Su Mi looked ready to bolt at any moment. "Wait for what? Are you going to silence me now that I've discovered your crime?!"
Su Mi retorted confidently, "Of course you would! Because I've found your criminal evidence!!!!"
Xiao Peng interjected, "Sister, we did kill this Dog Man, but it was self-defense! You don't know—he's a deranged criminal!! Check the bedroom—isn't there a woman there? That was his next target! If you don't believe us, look at the discs on the TV stand! They're all evidence of his crimes!!!"
After hearing this, Su Mi went to the bedroom with half-belief and indeed found a woman. Returning to the living room, she saw the discs on the TV stand and the paused video on screen. Picking up the remote, she pressed play.
What followed in the video made her pupils tremble with shock. After watching, her voice quivered with horror: "My god... I always thought he was just a mentally ill person pretending to be a dog, or doing some weird performance art... I never imagined he was actually a monster who tortured girls!!!!"
Xiao Q said, "So now you believe us?"
Su Mi nodded. "I believe you. But even so, we still need to call the police, right? Let them handle this. Since you acted in self-defense and there's evidence here, you three won't be in trouble—you're heroes!"
"Fine, call the police then. And an ambulance too," Xiao Q replied.
He figured since the Dog Man was dead and they had clear self-defense evidence, it didn't matter whether real or fake apartment police came. Originally they planned to dispose of the body themselves, but with Su Mi's intervention, so be it.
As for the ambulance—all three were injured to varying degrees, with Xiao Peng being the most severely hurt and definitely needing treatment.
Su Mi nodded, then suddenly remembered something. "It'll take time for the police and ambulance to arrive. Your injuries look serious—you should get treated immediately. Let me call the apartment's dedicated doctor to give you first aid?"
"Dedicated doctor?" Xiao Q was puzzled.
Su Mi explained, "Alice Apartment is a high-end complex—we've always had an on-call doctor. Can't handle major illnesses, but minor ones are no problem. And our doctor used to work at a top-tier hospital!"
Xiao Peng couldn't help commenting, "Damn, the difference between high-end and regular apartments is huge—you even have doctors, and from top-tier hospitals at that!"
Su Mi left Room 1001 to fetch the doctor. Within five minutes, she returned with a middle-aged male doctor in a white coat carrying a medical kit.
Upon seeing the living room's condition, the doctor was visibly startled, his facial muscles twitching. However, he remained silent—likely already briefed by Su Mi—and professionally began examining the three men's injuries.
After the examination, he took out three sealed disposable syringes and a box of glass vials from his kit. Drawing medicine from a vial into a syringe, he approached Xiao Peng to administer the injection.
Xiao Q watched curiously. "Doctor, what are you injecting him with?"
Pointing at Xiao Peng's right shoulder wound, the doctor answered, "Aliconor."
"Aliconor? What kind of medicine is that?" Not being a medical student, Xiao Q had never heard of it.
Ke Bei seemed to recognize it though. "I think that's a foreign medicine—costs thirty thousand per dose. It's a viral infection blocker that can prevent most viral infections."
Xiao Q frowned. "Do we need this?"
The doctor explained, "You all have varying degrees of injuries, especially this handsome guy's shoulder wound—clearly a human bite. Human bites are more dangerous than animal bites because our mouths contain more bacteria. That's why I'm giving you the blocker. Understand?"
Xiao Peng reacted excitedly, "Then inject me quick! Wait—Ke Bei, how much did you say per dose? Thirty thousand? Fuck, we don't have to pay for this, right?!"
Su Mi, standing nearby, smiled. "Residents get it for free. Non-residents though..."
Xiao Peng immediately said, "Then I won't take it. I'm broke. I'll wait for the ambulance!"
Su Mi burst out laughing. "Just kidding! Injuries sustained here are treated for free regardless."
Relieved, Xiao Peng let the doctor proceed. Next was Ke Bei, who had scratch wounds though no bites. Finally, Xiao Q received his injection for the bite on his left arm.
A few minutes after the injections, Xiao Q asked the doctor, who was now taking out bandages and disinfectant, "That's weird, doctor... Why do I feel so sleepy after that shot? Is that a side effect?"
The doctor replied, "The medicine doesn't have that effect."
"Then what's happening? Am I just exhausted?"
The doctor smiled meaningfully.
