Chapter 39 Who is the Liar?
"What does this smell like?"

Chen Fugui stretched out his hand and fanned the air in front of him. The smell was even stronger than in the car and it smelled very bad.

"It's probably because there are few people living in the community and there are a lot of rats and insects. The property management has done a comprehensive disinfection, which is why there is this smell." Qiao Kang walked to the gate of the villa and entered the password on the fingerprint lock.

Property?

Where does the property management come from when there is no security in this community?
Also, it's clearly a fingerprint lock, so why do I need to enter a password? Is it just a personal habit?
Lin Jue stared at Qiao Kang's back as he was entering the password, and frowned slightly.

This video blogger seemed quite normal when we first met, but started to act a little strange after arriving at the villa.

He felt that he didn't seem like someone from this villa area.

呲.

The sound of the door lock turning was heard, Qiao Kang pushed the door open, stood at the door and gestured to everyone to sit down and invite them in: "Friends, come in."

Everyone rushed in, and except for the dove of peace that was dying, everyone exclaimed in admiration at the same time.
I have to say that although the villa area as a whole looks desolate, Qiao Kang's house is decorated extremely luxuriously, using a Western retro decoration style, and the value of all the furniture is obviously very high at first glance.

Lin Jue estimated that the value of this house was no less than 50 million, but it was still far from the 800-square-meter apartment in the city center in his previous life.

He pretended to be amazed, looking around and saying, "Brother Kang, is being a video blogger really that profitable? How about you teach me how to make videos?"

"The money I earn from ghost hunting videos can buy two steamed buns. This is just my hobby. I am a person who loves excitement."

Qiao Kang took care of everyone and sat them down. He walked to the refrigerator and opened it, saying, "It's just because my parents run a company and make a lot of money, and I'm an only child, so they bought me this villa."

"We used to live here as a family, but my parents' business expanded outside the province, so they rarely came back. I wasn't used to living in such a big house by myself, so I just moved out,"

He took a bunch of grapes and a few boxes of blueberries from the refrigerator and washed them in a basin while continuing, "As you can see, the villa area has been abandoned for a long time. Now this house can't even be sold for half of the original price. It's just a waste of money."

"If I hadn't gone to shoot the video of the Lock Dragon Mountain Tunnel this time, I probably wouldn't have come back to stay here."

He washed the fruit, put it on the coffee table, and said with a smile, "There are three rooms upstairs. Jiajia lives alone. Li Ge, you have to bear with the peace dove and live with her. Chen Fugui, you two must live in the same room."

"You can go take a look and choose a room first."

As soon as Jia Jia entered the villa, she sat on the sofa and took a selfie. Chen Fugui and his wife were showing off to their friends through video calls. The Peace Dove guy was curled up in the single sofa, not knowing what he was thinking and not saying a word.

None of the four of them made any move. Lin Jue looked at the fruit on the table and went upstairs alone. On the second floor were two bedrooms, a study and a utility room.

The bedrooms are standard suites, each equipped with a separate toilet, a clean four-piece bed, and an empty wardrobe, without the dusty smell of someone who hasn't lived there for a long time.

"Is it cleaned regularly? Why would it be cleaned if no one lives there?"

"Or is Qiao Kang lying? He has actually been living here all along, but why would he lie about this?"

Lin Jue observed every place carefully. This villa did not look like it had been uninhabited for a long time. Instead, it was full of life. The floor was spotless and clean, and the bedding smelled of freshly washed laundry detergent.

He retreated from the room and went back to the study.

The bookcase in the study was filled with books on history and philosophy. In the middle of the bookcase was a photo frame, but there was no photo in the frame.

"Placing the photo frame in the center of the bookcase suggests it's important. But where did the photo go? Why is there only an empty frame?"

Lin Jue took out the photo frame and found two lines of words on the back of it.

【One-year-old family photo】【Photo taken in October 2009】

He only turned one year old in October 09, and now he is only one month away from turning 10, but Qiao Kang is already over 16 years old.

The "one year old" here should not be referring to Qiao Kang. Could it be that he has a younger brother or sister?

But didn’t you just say that you are an only child?
Lin Jue felt even more doubtful and went to the storage room again.

As soon as he opened the door, a cloud of smoke and dust blew in his face. He reached out and fanned it away, then looked at the two cribs and two strollers placed in the utility room.

The stroller and crib are both a bit old, and the sizes and brands are all the same.

This is even more strange. Only twins born at the same time would use cribs and strollers of the same size. But Qiao Kang and his younger brother or sister are at least four years apart in age. Why should they buy exactly the same things?

Could it be that his parents gave birth to twins later?
Lin Jue's suspicion grew stronger and stronger. Qiao Kang had been lying since he arrived at the villa.

This villa may not belong to him at all, and his parents are most likely not businessmen. After all, the books in the bookcase do not match the identity of a company owner.
At least there should be a book about success.

"Is it because of vanity? He rented a villa specifically to show off in front of us."

This is indeed possible. Lin Jue has encountered such people before.

He closed the door of the utility room and walked up the stairs to the third floor.

As soon as he arrived outside the room on the third floor, he heard Jia Jia's voice coming from the room.

"Thanks for the rocket, big brother!"

"Haha, this isn't my house. It's my parents'. It's only about 500 square meters in total."

"The host is going to have a PK match later. Whoever gives the most gifts will get to meet the host offline alone."

Lin Jue silently retreated to the staircase landing on the second floor.

Just as he guessed, Jia Jia's job was a female anchor. She lied about her job and was as vain as Qiao Kang, claiming someone else's villa as her own.

He walked down the stairs step by step, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

"Jia Jia lied about her career,"

"Mr. Chen Fugui and his wife were not in a relationship for as long as they said. They are also lying."

"Qiao Kang created a persona for himself as a rich second-generation rich kid, and he also lied."

"Which one of them is a liar? Or are they all liars?"

"What's the purpose of lying? I'm afraid it's not just to create a persona. There must be a deeper secret behind it."
