Chapter 97 The Landlord

It was not Guan Feng who opened the door, which made Chu Pei feel a bit lost.

"Are you here to rent a house?" The skinned sentinel was a little bald, his skin looked very greasy, and he was wrapped in a big clean cotton jacket. Chu Pei looked familiar.

"Did no one live here before?" Chu Pei asked.

The middle-aged sentinel smiled and said: "Live, since this house is rented, there are people living in it, but they moved away."

"What's his name?" Chu Pei asked.

The sentry asked impatiently, "Do you want to rent or not? Why are there so many problems?"

Chu Pei and Xie Zhou looked at each other, and Xie Zhou stepped forward, "How about the monthly rent?"

"Okay, come in." The sentinel stepped aside, and the basement was the same as before. It was dark and couldn't see any sunlight, but because of the dryness, there was no mold, but there was an unpleasant smell.

As soon as Chu Pei walked in, his expression changed, Xie Zhou naturally noticed it, but it's not the time to ask yet.

The charterer's name was Owen, and he looked decadent and frustrated. He casually took out a contract with gray and black marks and said, "Sign it."

Xiezhou took over the rental contract. It seems that most of the people who will choose here are short-term renters. This contract does not need to be carefully drawn up at all, just use the previous one.

Xie Zhou signed and paid the money. Chu Pei asked anxiously, "Can you tell us the name of the previous tenant now?"

Owen lit a cigarette, and the smell of the smoke was a bit choking. Chu Pei frowned, and Xie Zhou said directly, "My wife is pregnant."

Owen glanced at Chu Pei, put out the cigarette and asked, "Aren't you from Star A?"

"Yes." Xie Zhou replied, Chu Pei didn't speak, and he didn't know who he was now.

"People have been renting this place before, and it has been fine since Star A became chaotic. A few days ago, a man named Guan Feng rented this place." When he mentioned Guan Feng, Chu Pei and Xie Zhou's eyes became more focused.

"It's just that the other person hasn't shown up. Now that the rent is due, I came here to collect the rent today. Who knows that this person can't be contacted, and it doesn't look like he has lived in the house." Owen put away his contract and said intend to leave.

Xie Zhou: "How did he contact you before?"

"Mail." Owen stopped.

Chu Pei: "When was the last time?"

"Ten days ago." Owen rubbed his fingers, looking like he was addicted to cigarettes.

"Are there any questions?" Owen said unhappily. After Chu Pei shook his head, Owen left a sentence, "I live on the top floor, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

This basement belongs to a five-story tube building, and the landlord Owen lives on the top floor. Chu Pei suddenly remembered that many years ago, he and Guan Feng rented here, and the landlord at that time was Owen.

It's just that the entire building here belongs to Owen, and there are so many residents coming and going, it's impossible for Owen to remember everyone.

"Are you sure the address is here?" Xie Zhou asked.

Chu Pei: "I'm sure, Guan Feng only sent me this address."

According to Owen's description, Guan Feng didn't live here at all, so why did he give this address?

"Go here and check carefully. Owen said that Guan Feng is not here, but it doesn't mean he hasn't been here." Xie Zhou said.

Chu Pei agrees that this house is their only clue now.

"It's strange that this place hasn't changed much from when I left." In other words, it has hardly changed, but since there are always people coming and going, how can it remain the same as it was many years ago?

"It seems that this is one of the clues." Xie Zhou's expression was not relaxed. Even if he didn't make it clear, he knew that this was a trap specially designed for Chu Pei.
