48 Hours a Day

A knock on the door interrupted Shen Xixi's memories and she got up, lying down on the cat's eye for an alert look before pulling out the door pin.

Li Bai walked in from the outside, picked up the mineral water on the table and gulped down half a bottle, then spoke up, "It's been checked, the gang is in the neighborhood across the street."

"How many of them?" Shen Xixi asked.

"It's a small club that just appeared recently, there are less than twenty people in total, and most of them have been pulled in sparingly, so I don't think they've been affected much yet, and the ones that have really been affected more deeply are probably three or five people."

Shen Xixi was slightly relieved at the news, "Hard work, deal with the trouble, we won't leave today, we'll rest here for the night and hit the road again tomorrow."

Li Bai seemed to have some desire to speak at the news.

But Shen Xixi was now calculating how to act next and didn't notice the look on Li Bai's face, after which she pulled out her earpiece from her pocket and put it on.

Bunny's voice came from the other end of the headset, "Where are you guys now?"

"It's getting ready to leave, we'll be there in about ten minutes." Shen Xixi looked at the watch on her hand.

"Well, there's no need to rush, they're still setting up the venue at the moment, and people don't look like they've arrived, so ten minutes is definitely not enough to organise an event." Bunny licked her lips and pressed the flush button on the toilet.

But hearing her say that, Shen Xixi accelerated her movements and left the hotel with a suitcase along with Li Bai.

They then found a roadside public restroom, got in with their boxes, and came back out two minutes later, but they had shaken down two cops.

Police caps, uniforms, law enforcement recorders were all ready, even police badges were prepared, in other words, as long as they didn't go inside the police system, it was almost impossible for the two to be identified.

After the change of clothes Shen Xixi and Li Bai on the non-stop rush to the target community, have on the body of the police uniform, security guards did not stop them, and even took the initiative to ask what needs help.

Shen Xixi asked him to help open the door to the first floor, and then took the elevator to the eleventh floor, not even needing them to knock on the door, because the door to room 1104 itself was wide open at this moment.

The door hanging an oddly shaped ornaments, do not know why, community security to see the ornaments feel a cold heart, a kind of uncomfortable feeling, but it is difficult to look away, he was trying to look more closely, did not expect the female officer in front of him, but suddenly took a step, in front of him, at the same time a hand to pull down the ornaments, put into a file bag.

Then without stopping, he stepped right in.

There were seven people in the living room by now, five on the couch and two more standing at the window, smoking and talking about something.

Seeing Shen Xixi and Li Bai enter from the outside, everyone in the room except for the rabbit who pretended to be attracted to the idea of planning to join the club was obviously stunned.

Shen Xixi turned on the law enforcement recorder, followed by pulling out her police badge, "Police, who owns this place?"

The people in the house looked at each other, then a man standing by the window smoking coughed and spoke, "This house belongs to Old He, he's in the back room, do you want me to go get him?"

"No, I'll go by myself." Shen Xixi then gave Li Bai a look that told him to stay here and watch the living room, while she herself continued to walk inside.

It was a three-bedroom house, with three rooms in addition to the living room, a bathroom and a kitchen, of which the kitchen could be seen from the living room with no one in it, and one bathroom was now to the left of Shen Xixi, the door was closed, as if someone was using the bathroom.

A study, the door was open, also no one, after which only the master bedroom and the second bedroom two rooms, Shen Xixi first pushed open the door of the second bedroom, found that this is a children's room, there is a roughly eleven or twelve-year-old look child, should be just home from school, is lying on the table doing homework.

Shen Xixi saw that little boy turn back and tried to squeeze a smile out of her face, "It's fine, you can continue studying." After saying that, he retreated from the second bedroom, brought the door with him, and reached out to push the door of the master bedroom next door again, however this time he didn't push it open.

Shen Xixi knocked on the door, and after about three seconds, a voice came from inside, "Just a moment, the event will have to be prepared before we can begin."

As a result, Shen Xixi continued to knock on the door as if she hadn't heard.

After a few more seconds, the door to the master bedroom was finally opened, but only at a very small angle, and the person inside, peeked out and saw Shen Xixi.

It was a man with a slim physique, with deep dark circles under his eyes, who seemed to have been having a bad deep sleep, a flash of panic in his eyes upon seeing Shen Xixi, but quickly calmed down again, but the change in his eyes didn't escape Shen Xixi's eyes.

"What can I do for you, this officer?" The man asked.

' "We've received a report that someone is illegally associating here, come with us."

"Illegal association? No, no, no, we didn't do anything like that, it was just a small gathering of friends and it didn't involve any cash property, I paid for all the drinks and food for the party." The man hurriedly argued.

However, the female officer in front of him was unmoved and only spat out two words in a faint voice, "Open the door."

"We ...... are not very convenient right now." The man fidgeted.

But the next moment Shen Xixi had kicked the door, and not only was the door kicked open, but the man behind the door was also taken aside by the force and fell to the ground.

The expression on his face was somewhat confused, probably because he didn't expect to meet such a rude police officer, usually this kind of situation should not be warned first, after several times only under duress will choose to break the door.

In addition to the man who was lying on the door, there are two other people in the house, one looks like it should be his wife, and the other one who is a little older may be his uncle.

They were busy working on an incredibly weird and abstract looking mural on the wall, the mural depicted how an octopus-headed guy was wreaking havoc on the earth, and as before, Shen Xixi tried to avert her eyes after just one glance, but the next moment she felt her eyes being sucked in by something, and the painting seemed to come to life, tentacles sticking out of the wall!

Shen Xixi's head felt a strong sense of dizziness, her body shifted, and she didn't have time to make her next move, but actually fell headlong onto the floor, the last image in her consciousness was of the woman among the three opposite her, pulling out a fruit knife from under the bed in a panic.
