Sister Li was a bit confused.
Do romantic relationships also depend on your living environment?
Wouldn’t that directly expose one’s location?
Was Jiang Li seriously live streaming?
Not only was she puzzled, but the viewers in the live stream were also baffled.
[?? It’s my first time seeing a host set up a formation .]
[Ah, this, I know a bit about mysticism myself, and I’ve never heard of this before.]
[Could it be that Jiang Li is going to mess up this time?]
Jiang Li knew that as a policeman, Captain Xing was quite sensitive and would not follow her commands lightly.
So she changed her approach and said, "You don’t have to turn on the camera, just take your phone and go for a walk, let me sense the Feng Shui of the environment you live in. Only then can I better calculate your romantic luck."
Captain Xing was half-convinced, half-skeptical.
Although Jiang Li’s explanation was quite mystical,
there were things that had happened to her that were a hundred times more mystical.
He had already spent the money, and besides, her previous predictions had been very accurate.
Captain Xing walked out the door, holding his cat.
Their residential complex was located in a rather remote area.
With high housing prices in the Capital, he had moved out of his home in a hurry and hadn’t found a decent place to live, so he settled here temporarily.
He had been living here for so long that he couldn’t be bothered to move.
"I’m downstairs now," Captain Xing said, "do I need to go anywhere else?"
"Call your colleagues immediately, right now, and have them come here quickly."
Jiang Li’s sudden stern tone startled Captain Xing.
His brain kicked into high gear, "Why?"
Could it be that Jiang Li had figured out his occupation?
"There’s someone in your room."
Jiang Li uttered these chilling words.
Standing on the deserted lawn, Captain Xing felt goosebumps rise on his back.
He looked up at the lights on in his apartment above, feeling even more puzzled.
The viewers in the live stream were also scared.
[Damn, I almost dropped my phone into the toilet from fright.]
[No, we were just joking around a second ago, how did the mood suddenly change??]
[Someone?? A burglary?? That’s so scary! Shouldn’t you call the police immediately!]
[Is this a fortune-telling live stream or a horror live stream, I’m getting cold sweats.]
Captain Xing grew serious too.
"It can’t be, very few people know where I live, and I’m always careful. There’s no way someone could be there without me noticing."
He was a criminal investigator by profession and was definitely more professional than Jiang Li in this regard.
But Jiang Li shook her head.
"Magic rises one foot, demons rise ten. You never know where those who wish to harm you are hiding. You think you’re vigilant, but the other party came prepared. You say you haven’t noticed anything unusual, but don’t you think that your cat has been acting weirder than usual today?"
Now that Jiang Li mentioned it, Captain Xing really started to think.
Mimi was usually quite aloof, and despite living with him for so long, she would sometimes scratch him when she wasn’t pleased.
But from the moment he arrived home today, she hadn’t stopped pawing at him.
Rather than seeming excited, it now appeared more like agitation.
Jiang Li continued, "So I did a reading for you on your recent fortune. Xu indicates misfortune and stubborn resistance, residing on this day, hinting at the presence of sneaky people. It means that you’re in danger of being harmed by someone with ill intentions. I also checked the direction, which was very close to you, so I used this method to lure you out."
In fact, Captain Xing Mingfei had already believed it from the start.
Like those in their profession, they feared not the 10,000 uncertainties but the one inevitability; it was better to act on a hunch and come up empty than not to act at all.
He dared not delay, hastily ending the connection to the livestream before dialing back to the station.
Captain Xing’s call abruptly ended, but the chat room buzzed with activity.
"Ah, is it this thrilling just coming in today?"
"I thought we finally had a lucky audience member without any mishaps this time, but it seems no one can escape the curse of the livestream host’s true identity."
"So tense, can the host let that person turn on their camera? It’s like a live-action crime thriller."
"The host mentioned earlier that he’s part of the system, now he’s asking his colleague to come over, could this man actually be a cop?"
"A cop’s house getting infiltrated by a criminal?? That’s even scarier!"
Seeing that the audience was gradually guessing Captain Xing’s identity, Jiang Li quickly shifted the topic.
"Since the first person has disconnected, let’s draw the second lucky audience member."
"Ah? Sister Li, are we this calm? There’s a crime scene unfolding over there!"
Jiang Li smiled, "Don’t worry, I have calculated his fortune, he will turn the tide in the end."
On this end, Captain Xing’s colleagues received the call and immediately drove over in an unmarked van, all in plain clothes.
When they saw Captain Xing standing downstairs in his pajamas holding a cat, they were a bit taken aback.
"Captain Xing, what are you doing..."
Captain Xing hugged Mimi a little tighter.
"Don’t ask so many questions, just follow the plan."
The officers nodded and followed Captain Xing upstairs.
Pretending as if nothing had happened, Captain Xing opened the door and walked in.
Grumbling as he went, "What kind of master is this, scamming money, she took thousands from me and then disconnected. I must conduct a thorough investigation back at the station!"
As he spoke, he vigilantly scanned everything in the apartment with his peripheral vision.
He lived in a two-bedroom apartment, and after coming home today, he had only taken a shower and then stayed in the living room.
If he were a criminal, he would certainly have lurked in the study closest to the balcony from early on.
But this was no ordinary criminal.
Even he hadn’t noticed their presence, so he couldn’t guess at their actions using ordinary criminal logic.
So, he went back to the living room.
The living room wasn’t large, and there were even fewer places to hide.
Captain Xing’s eyes darkened, and he put the cat down, gesturing towards the outside. Suddenly, the police officers who had been lying in wait outside all rushed in.
Captain Xing drew his service weapon, pointing it at the sofa.
"Come out, stop hiding."
A minute later, the sofa moved, and, to everyone’s shock, someone actually crawled out from underneath it.
The sight made everyone’s scalp tingle!
Someone had actually been hiding in their captain’s home!
A chill ran down Captain Xing’s spine too.
Not only was someone in his home, but they had also been hiding right under the sofa!
In other words, as he sat on the sofa eating and livestreaming, he had been under this person’s watchful eye!
What if he hadn’t been watching the livestream?
Could this person have...
Captain Xing, with his years in the field, felt for the first time the true meaning of "retrospective fear."
With a stony face, he walked forward and mercilessly cuffed the person holding a knife and seething with resentment.
"Let’s go to the station."
The man nearly gnashed his teeth as he said, "I trained for two whole years for this day, and I’ve almost achieved making no sound when I exhale. How did you discover my presence?!"
