Chapter 62 Census Taker
In the elevator, a man wearing a red community vest was recording something with a pen and paper, and a census taker badge was on his chest. There was another tall colleague wearing the same outfit as him.
He looked at the floor button of the elevator and pressed the third floor.
"Captain Jiang, 301 and 902 were not here the past two days," said the young red-hat volunteer, who was a college student on internship from the same community.
"Yeah." The man called Captain Jiang nodded.
The former community staff member was a sturdy man, wearing a shirt and tie, with a slightly protruding belly, and his back was slightly wet as he walked.
He scratched his head and thought: The people sent down from above are really powerful. They can act as they please and change the time at will. There are a bunch of people accompanying him. After all, he is also a small leader.
The flexible young leader smiled and said, "Leader, I have already notified the group that those who are not here, whether they are migrant workers or settled residents, please make time to attend."
"Divide into groups of two. You go to the ninth floor and I'll go to the third floor." The elevator on the third floor stopped and Jiang Xunian said to another census taker colleague, then walked out without raising his head. The man in the red hat followed him.
The red hat rang the doorbell: "Hello, Ms. Cui Jing, we are community workers and we are here to conduct a census visit."
"Hello." The woman opened the door and stuck her head out.
"Hello...Hello." Little Red Riding Hood blushed when she heard the voice.
Cui Jing immediately saw the tall man behind Little Red Riding Hood. The door partially blocked his body, and his facial features were sharp in the backlight, looking as fierce and pointed as an eagle.
Cui Jing remembered this person.
One was as a guard who assisted the medical staff at the nearest differentiation point when Chen Zhen was differentiated, and the other was as the security guard of Fuli Villa.
"Let me check the information now." He also showed a slightly surprised expression, but recovered in an instant, took out a pen and hung the cap in his chest pocket, as if he had never seen her before.
"Name." Open the registration book.
"Cui Jing."
"gender."
Cui Jing choked and said, "Female."
Jiang Xunian waited for her to continue speaking, and when he saw that she had no more words to say, he said, "As for the second sex, you have to say it yourself."
After that, he pointed at his recorder. "Please cooperate. This is a request."
Little Red Riding Hood squatted against the wall and flipped through the documents and said, "Although this requirement is a bit outrageous, there are records of it and they are still asking, but every outrageous rule is because of something even more outrageous that has happened before."
"Beta. I'm a Beta."
The red hat marking the data shouted again: "Brother, the seal is not printed, do you have the ink?"
Jiang Xunian looked at him sideways, unzipped his pants, and pulled out a small box of portable ink from his inner pocket. He was wearing a slim-fitting vest, revealing his well-developed chest muscles and faintly visible abdominal muscle lines. When he tilted his head, Cui Jing saw that the back of his neck looked like a snake tattoo.
Cui Jing felt uneasy. "Is it almost over?"
"Yes, yes." Little Red Riding Hood took the box of ink and smiled enthusiastically, "It won't take up too much of your time."
"Ms. Cui, are you looking at my work badge?" Jiang Xunian stared at her, took out the recorder from his chest and threw it to Little Red Riding Hood, saying, "Go and meet them first. I have a case to deal with."
He pulled out a folded police ID and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'm just asking you a few questions."
Cui Jing pinched the document and looked at his name: Jiang Xunian. "Ask."
"The elevator surveillance shows that a woman in yellow got off the elevator on this floor. Did you come into contact with her? If so, please describe the scene in detail."
Seeing Cui Jing frown, Jiang Xunian showed her the information on his phone, "Two months ago, a man named Xu who had differentiated into an Omega stabbed three men on the street with a knife, killing one and injuring two. He then fled across several provinces to Kyoto. The victims of the several reports we received were all male Alphas."
"But recently, we discovered that this male Omega has a companion, whose identity is unknown, and is most likely a Beta."
"The identities of victims have expanded from male Alphas to male and female Betas."
Cui Jing just frowned, showing no fear, and said something rather ridiculous: "You mean... they have already reached the door?"
"You can say that."
"It's unfortunate."
Cui Jing should have felt unfortunate and worried for the victims. In the unbridled world of BL, criminal detective characters appeared one after another. One day, she suddenly discovered that the latest case on the Rule of Law Watch, which was broadcast on time at noon every day, happened next door, and the criminal was still at large and was killing people indiscriminately.
But she couldn't empathize, couldn't feel real.
Cui Jing avoided discussing her own feelings and recalled: "She was a Beta woman, with Beta written on her name tag. She had a bright smile, white teeth, and crescent eyes. When she saw me, she called me: Respected Ms. Beta. She seemed to like this former name very much."
"Did she do anything disrespectful to you?"
"No."
"Are there any behaviors that make you feel uncomfortable?"
Cui Jing shook her head again, cooperated and opened the small program on her mobile phone where she had placed the order, and showed Jiang Xunian the video footage of the suspect recorded by the doorbell at the door as physical evidence.
Cui Jing had installed an invisible surveillance camera outside the door, but the data was on the computer in the room, and she didn't really want to leave to get it, or let anyone in. What the doorbell recorded was enough.
“Is that book good?”
Cui Jing realized that he was talking about the book that he had placed upside down on the chair. What was he reading? He was observing his living room.
"The Case Donald Hoffman Against Reality" Jiang Xunian read out the title of the book.
He looked very carefully. Cui Jing's heart was alarmed. Is this an occupational disease of the police? Habitual observation, invading other people's territory with eyes?
"Donald Hoffman's What You See Is Not Real. I'm just reading it and don't have any opinion on it." Cui Jing didn't want to talk to him in depth, so she dismissed him with a few words.
Jiang Xunian was also not interested in this kind of book, and he lowered his head and took notes absentmindedly.
The layout of the living room replayed clearly in his mind: many cat beds, a sweeping robot in operation, a toy rattan ball rolling from a blind spot into the living room, and a white cat walking out.
Her cat was very beautiful, pure white and wearing a floral scarf. It pressed its front paws on the vine ball, its blue eyes showing some curiosity about the world outside the door. Its ears twitched and it kicked the ball away and disappeared into the living room.
The cell phone rang suddenly between the two of them, a funny English song. Cui Jing picked it up, took a look at it and hung up. A few seconds later, the ringing continued.
Someone is looking for her.
"It's okay! No need to worry, I'll go back later. She's just an impatient personality. Sir, please continue, Sir?"
Jiang Xunian was in a daze, as if he didn't know what he was thinking. When he came to his senses, he said with some regret: "Sorry to bother you. Thank you for your cooperation today."
“That’s what we should do as citizens.”
Cui Jing closed the door, and the familiar English ringtone rang again. She turned off the quick ringtone.
Can police officers have tattoos?
Still the same large tattoos.
Cui Jing turned on the hidden real-time surveillance outside the door. He got on the elevator and suddenly glanced at the hidden surveillance. He looked straight at her with dark eyes.
Cui Jing felt like she was being watched.
[A Ming, can you help me check this person? Jiang Xunian. ]
Cui Jing continued to find a detective account nicknamed "Eye Store": "Hello, please help me check this person and transfer money to the old account. 】
Video sending...
Cui Jing sent the surveillance video to Wang Xiaoming and the detective at the same time. She was curious about the comparison between the information obtained from two different channels.
【Eye Store】: Good.
Wang Xiaoming hasn't replied to her yet. She is practicing golf and is said to be terrible at it. The previous message she sent was: I can hit the ball with a standard posture.
