Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 282 The Great Detective Returns

Although Xiaopangding was just a child and it was difficult for him to explain the ins and outs of the matter in an organized manner, under the careful questioning of Guan Gu and Zhang Wei, the two of them pieced together the truth of the matter.

The story begins on the day Guan Gu and Zhang Wei arrived at the Nanfeng Old House.

On the same day, three mysterious men dressed in black suits and wearing black sunglasses came to Little Fatty's house.

The three mysterious people proposed to temporarily rent a room on the second floor of Xiaopangding's house during the Chinese New Year period, and asked Xiaopangding's whole family to keep this matter strictly confidential.

Originally, Little Fatty's parents refused, since they neither run a hotel nor rent out houses, so how could they just let three strangers rent out their own house?

Especially since these three guys were dressed like characters from The Matrix, I wonder if they're even good people.

What if there are three criminals? Wouldn't they be in trouble?

So Little Fatty's parents refused very firmly.

But they gave way too much.

Little Fatty didn't know exactly how much money the three guys gave his parents, but it was a price they absolutely couldn't refuse, a windfall that made them laugh in their dreams.

At such a price, these three mysterious figures cosplaying as characters from The Matrix suddenly appeared in the eyes of Little Fatty's parents as fools who had too much money to be taken advantage of.

After all, people can't choose not to make money just because of a few small risks.

However, Little Fatty's parents weren't the type to be easily swayed by money; they were still somewhat wary.

Regardless, we still need to figure out their general purpose.

Otherwise, if these three people harbor malicious intentions, then no matter how much money the two of them receive, it will be useless.

Through these few days of observation, Little Fatty's parents finally understood what these three guys were up to.

After all, the three of them carried such a large telescope upstairs on the very day they moved in; there was no way to hide that from anyone.

The room on the second floor only had one window, and with the surrounding area mostly blocked by tall buildings, the places they could monitor with binoculars were already limited.

However, the entire mansion of Old Master Chu can be seen from the second floor.

Not to mention that two of the three of them would always go out and come back around the same time as Nanfeng took Wanyu and the other two out to play. If you were observant enough, their tracking and surveillance would be too obvious.

After asking Xiaopangding his questions, Guan Gu and Zhang Wei both felt a chill run down their spines.

"This is absolutely terrifying."

Guan Gu looked at the chubby boy, his voice trembling slightly: "Do you know why these three people are following and monitoring us?"

"I don't know." Little Fatty shook his head.

In fact, he didn't know much; he only overheard his parents' conversations at night while pretending to be asleep.

Zhang Wei shuddered: "So, while we were fooling around in the old Nanfeng house, and playing wildly outside, there was actually someone watching us from not far away?!"

This is absolutely insane!

He stood on tiptoe and began looking around: "Could they be watching us from somewhere right now?"

Little Fatty said, "No, they didn't leave the house at all today."

Zhang Wei noticed the key point: "They didn't go out today, which means that these three guys' target is not us, but one of Nanfeng and Wanyu?"

"How could Nanfeng and Wanyu have attracted such an organized and premeditated stalker?"

Zhang Wei, who hadn't officially moved into the Love Apartment yet and didn't know Wan Yu's true identity, looked puzzled.

The only one among the two who knows the truth is Guan Gu Shenqi, who looks like a famous detective but has an extremely peculiar reasoning ability.

Guan Gu seemed to have been reminded by Zhang Wei's words. He stroked his chin thoughtfully, as if he had already deduced the truth.

Little Fatty continued, "I originally wanted to tell Brother Nanfeng or Grandpa about this, but since I met you on the road, I'll just tell you directly."

"Otherwise, I might be discovered by these three bad guys when I get to the old house."

Zhang Wei looked at the chubby boy: "Why did you tell us something so important?"

Little Fatty crossed his arms and said matter-of-factly, "They paid my parents to keep it a secret, but they didn't pay me to keep it a secret, so why should I keep their secret?"

He stomped his foot angrily as he spoke, like a cub in a fit of impotent rage: "And the room on the second floor is mine. Those three bastards took over my room, so I've been sleeping with my parents for the past few days."

"It's Chinese New Year, but I can't even stay up late to play games!"

The main reason was that Guan Gu and Zhang Wei were already having a headache because of the news about the stalker, but they couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiao Pang Ding's resentful words.

It seems that children can be extremely vengeful.

You've spent so much money, why don't you spend just a little more to shut this kid up?

Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw.

After saying everything he needed to say, Little Fatty repeatedly warned Zhang Wei and Guan Gu not to reveal that he had betrayed them.

After receiving assurances from his two older brothers, Little Fatty took the huge sum of 150 yuan and ran off to have a blast with his two friends.

Guan Gu and Zhang Wei stood there dumbfounded by the roadside.

They just came out to buy fireworks, how did they know such a big secret?

Zhang Wei sighed: "Guan Gu, let's hurry back and inform Nan Feng and Wan Yu about this, and see if we can find out what exactly happened."

"No need, I've already deduced the truth!"

Guan Gu adjusted his glasses, and as the background music of Detective Conan slowly began to play, Detective Guan Gu miraculously reappeared.

"I guarantee this group is definitely after Wanyu, and their goal is..."

"Kidnap Wanyu!"

"What?!"

To the background music, Zhang Wei opened his mouth wide in disbelief, just like an extra who was shocked by the amazing reasoning of the famous detective Guan Gu.

"Based on my reasoning..."

"etc!"

Zhang Wei reached out to stop Guan Gu's reasoning: "Before you begin your reasoning..."

"Could you turn the volume of your background music down a bit?"

He pointed to the phone in Guan Gu's hand, which was playing the Detective Conan background music at maximum volume, and said, "Your phone is too loud, I can't even hear you."

"Oh... I'm sorry."

Guan Gu quickly turned down the background music and continued to explain, "Based on my deduction, this group of people is likely Wan Yu's family's bodyguards."

Why did Wanyu's bodyguards kidnap her?

Zhang Wei keenly sensed something was wrong. He stared at Guan Gu and asked, "Wan Yu didn't run away from home, did she?"

Guan Gu looked at Zhang Wei with equal surprise: "You didn't know about this?"

Zhang Wei shrugged: "I only know that Wan Yu's family is very rich, but she is penniless now."

"I thought she had been kicked out of her home by her parents, or that her family had fallen on hard times."

"I was too embarrassed to ask her which situation it was."

"All right."

Guan Gu said helplessly, "This matter is complicated to explain, and Wan Yu has to tell you herself."

"I will only state my reasoning conclusion now: these people are Wanyu's bodyguards, and their ultimate goal is to kidnap Wanyu and bring her home."

"Then why aren't they tying them up now?" Zhang Wei asked.

Guan Gu stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Maybe it's because...they're celebrating the New Year."

Zhang Wei: ...

"Guan Gu, is this your reasoning?"

Although Guan Gu looked very professional, adjusting his glasses and playing background music, why did he feel that Guan Gu's reasoning seemed a bit rough?

Is it just my imagination?

"Just kidding."

Guan Gu said with a serious expression, "I think they might be waiting for the right opportunity."

"Waiting for the right opportunity?"

"That's right!"

Guan Gu explained, "There are three of them, and we also have three big men on our side."

"Even if we can't beat three well-trained bodyguards, we can at least buy Wanyu time to escape."

"If Wanyu gets away, they don't know when they'll be able to find her again."

"Besides, this is Nanfeng's hometown, so we have the home advantage."

"It's the Lunar New Year right now, so everyone in the village is here. If they really dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight, it's not certain they'll be able to leave the village."

"That makes sense."

Zhang Wei sensed something was off, but as he followed Guan Gu's line of reasoning, he found it to be logical and reasonable.

Moreover, compared to himself, who had no idea what had happened, Guan Gu obviously knew the inside story, so listening to him was definitely the right thing to do.

So Zhang Wei patted Guan Gu on the shoulder and sincerely praised him, "Guan Gu, I didn't expect your reasoning ability to be so strong. You should go and draw mystery comics."

"Actually, my reasoning ability isn't as good as you say. I'll get shy if you praise me like that."

"Hahaha……"

Guan Gu spoke modestly, but his smile was practically reaching his ears.

I knew it! What happened at the movie theater last time was just an accident, a small setback before becoming a famous detective.

[Now this is the true level of my amazing detective skills, Guan Gu!]

【Ha ha ha ha……】

Zhang Wei pondered, "If what you're saying is true, then they're just waiting for a sure-fire opportunity to take Wan Yu away."

"And such opportunities either occur when Wanyu goes out alone, or... they might be waiting for reinforcements."

"That's right!"

Guan Gu gave Zhang Wei a thumbs up, thinking that Zhang Wei was also very talented in reasoning.

If they put in a little more effort, maybe the two of them could become a detective duo.

"I understand now, I completely understand now."

Zhang Wei quickly grabbed Guan Gu's arm and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry back and inform Nanfeng and Wanyu!"

"Wait a minute!"

Guan Gu said, "Zhang Wei, have you ever thought that if we go back to the old house now, it would mean we're back under their surveillance?"

"Shouldn't we take advantage of this opportunity, when they can't monitor you and me, to do something?"

I'm coming
