I rely on emoticons to lower my intelligence

New Day, still lost contact with the Son of Heaven.

Gu Shanhai lay sleepily on the table.The big orange cat lay flatteringly on his shoulders, beating his shoulders rhythmically with its furry paws.But without paying attention, the little paws climbed onto Gu Shanhai's soft hair, trying to step on it.

"System!" Gu Shanhai straightened his neck and sat up.

The cat who wanted to step on the owner's head suddenly jumped to the floor with guilt.

"Meow!" It tilted its head and yelled cutely, trying to cover up the crime just now.

Gu Shanhai didn't notice it at first, but seeing its guilty appearance, it aroused doubts instead.

"What did you do just now?"

Ding dong!At this moment, Gu Shanhai's cell phone rang.

He couldn't care less about the orange cat.He had been waiting for news from Pei Chengping for the past few days. When he heard the text message, he quickly picked up his phone.

This is a text message sent to him, which has nothing to do with Pei Chengping, and the note shows "tenant".

Gu Shanhai immediately lowered his head to the table again, opened the text message without much interest, and flipped through the contents.

[Mr. Gu, I am a new tenant at No. 28 Taiping East Road. Half a year's rent has been deposited into your bank card in advance. Please pay attention to check it.Xiao Sheng. 】

Although it wasn't the news that Gu Shanhai was expecting, it still lifted his spirits when the bank card account indicated that his income had increased!

It turned out that it was the middle of the month, the day to collect the rent.

Gu Shanhai called the new tenant.

beep...

There was no answer on the phone.

Gu Shanhai called again, but the bell rang for a few seconds before being cut off by the other party.It seems inconvenient to answer the phone.

Gu Shanhai used the handwriting input method, stroke by stroke on the screen, carefully write out the content of a line of text messages.

[The rent has been received, congratulations. ] He replied politely.

This is the first tenant to send money to him this month.

After being tricked by scammers in the popularized modern society, Gu Shanhai no longer expects that his text message [I am the landlord, send money] will be ignored.

Unexpectedly, in this world, there are people with such weak anti-fraud awareness.The new tenant didn't even meet him face to face, so he transferred half a year's rent to him immediately.

It feels silly.

Xiao Sheng?Are there many people with the surname Sheng in this city?

This is already the second person surnamed Sheng he has met this week.

Gu Shanhai thought about it before sending the text message, and added another line to kindly remind the other party.

[Xiao Sheng, we need to strengthen our awareness of fraud prevention.Let's meet up when we have time. 】

Gu Shanhai didn't know that Captain Sheng of the Painting League felt relieved after receiving his text message reply.

[During a business trip, we will talk again when we have time. ] He quickly replied to the message.

As for when you will be free, the rent has been paid anyway, Gu Shanhai has so many tenants, he will be forgotten soon, right?

"At least for half a year, the other party will not come to collect rent." Shengli thought.He didn't want Gu Shanhai to know that he rented the other party's house.Because his suspicion of Gu Shanhai has never been resolved, and he is still secretly investigating him.

From his file bag, he took out a stack of Gu Shanhai's documents, one of which was the police record for him.

The transcript bears Gu Shanhai's signature.As a second-grade painter who enjoys the internal resources of the Painting League, Shengli has seen many good calligraphy, but he is still amazed by the other party's calligraphy.

Although it has not reached the point described in ancient poems that "when the pen falls, the wind and rain are shocked, and the poem becomes weeping ghosts and gods", it has already beaten countless modern masters.

"Is this a word that can be practiced by self-taught at home?" Sheng Li wondered.

With an ordinary signature pen, you can write the words of the pen walking around the dragon, if you change to a brush...

Really suspicious!

However, they investigated each other's resume and found that everything was normal and there were no flaws.

After the investigation was fruitless, he had changed his mind and went to check the houses inherited by the other party, and whether there was any problem with the initial direction of funds.

"Team Sheng." A tall and thin Doutu division knocked on the open office door and walked in after getting his attention.

If Gu Shanhai was present, he would have discovered that this Doutu master was scratched by his own cat and sent to the hospital because of cat hair allergies.

Now he is out of the hospital.

"Xiao Zhang, did you find out?" Sheng Li sat on the work chair, raised his head and asked the other party.

Xiao Zhang shook his head, "Team Sheng, I can't find out where the funds came from. I don't have enough authority."

"Ah?" Sheng Li was taken aback, the other party used his authority as the captain.Can't find Gu Shanhai?This piqued his interest.

Sheng Li opened the drawer, handed a piece of paper recording the account number to the other party, and instructed, "Don't let others see it, use the director's authority."

Out of trust in him, he can call his boss's authority account to check some internal information set to a high level by the painting alliance.

Xiao Zhang took the note with both hands, and left lightly.Sheng Li tugged on the neckline that was tightened by the tie, and suddenly felt a little thirsty.

He picked up the thermos cup and took a sip, but found that there was no water, got up and walked to the tea cabinet at the door, picked up the thermos bottle, and poured water into his thermos cup.

Just for a while, Xiao Zhang came back again.

"Captain Sheng, the authority is still not enough." He handed the note to the captain.

Sheng Li shook his hand, and the tea spilled out of the cup.

Even the authority of the director is not enough!This is already the highest authority of the City Council where the Painting League is located.Further up is going to the province.

"What is the origin of this Gu Shanhai?" Sheng Li didn't bother to wipe the overflowing water from the tea cabinet.

"Wait, let me get some ideas." He walked back and forth in his small office, wandering back and forth.

Gu Shanhai is definitely not an ordinary person.If you say awakening, you will be awakened, and Li Zhiyi has been stumped by the spiritual map of natal life.

Li Zhiyi is a painter!

Sheng Li remembered that when he was taking notes for Gu Shanhai, the other party once said that he was from "Qingfeng Painting Academy".After being refuted, he changed his mind and said that he was self-studying at home.

Although the Qingfeng Academy of Painting was merged by the Five Color Academy of Painting in the last century, there are many possibilities for retreating and disappearing back then!There are rumors that because this world is not suitable for Dou Tushi, many of them left for other realms.

I can't read, but I have written good calligraphy.Where is this illiterate?What the other party can't understand is just the simplified modern characters, right?The more Sheng Li reasoned, the more suspicious points on Gu Shanhai seemed to be explained.

He thought of the simple ring on the finger of the other party, which was not like an ordinary object.

"Could it be the disciple taught by some hidden old monster?" Sheng Li suddenly realized.

Xiao Zhang was still standing at the door of the office, waiting for his response.

"Sheng team, do you want to continue the investigation?"

"No more investigations!" Sheng Li waved his hand and said, "The backgrounds of each of them are not simple, and they cannot be offended."

Pei Chengping is like this, Gu Shanhai is still like this.

He'd better concentrate on finding out the whereabouts of the leopard demon.

According to the last footage captured by the surveillance, the other party was probably hiding in the Baijin District, along Luozhi Road.

……

Platinum District, Luozhi Road, Yujing District.

Gu Shanhai carried the cat bag on his back and entered the corridor of the community. Amidst the protest of the big orange cat, he unzipped the zipper of the cat bag and let the other person out.

The cat bag was conveniently stuffed into the storage space, and the cat bag was carried because it was too conspicuous to go out with a cat. When he went to a pet store to buy cat food, the owner strongly recommended it to him.

Gu Shanhai brought the big orange cat to the door of apartment 302 and rang the doorbell.

He's here to collect rent.

According to the information Huadao gave him, the tenant was not at home last month and defaulted on the rent.In other words, including this month, he already owed him two months' rent.

Ding dong, ding dong.

After the doorbell rang, there was no movement inside.

Not at home?

Gu Shanhai picked up the big orange cat, ready to go to the next household to collect rent.

According to the information Huadao passed on to him, the registered information of the tenant in the agency was that he was a long-distance freight driver who lived alone and often traveled far.So after disappearing for ten and a half months, and meeting a landlord like Gu Shanhai who only accepts cash, it's normal that he didn't pay the rent on time.

Gu Shanhai turned around and just took two steps, then stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the room in doubt.

The keen sense of hearing after becoming a painter can capture the small movements from inside.

Is someone home but not opening the door?

Gu Shanhai went back to the security door of No. 302 apartment.

Knock knock knock!

He knocked on the door, pricked up his ears to listen, and sure enough, he heard small movements coming from inside again.

It seemed that because of his going and returning, he seemed to be flustered, and the commotion was bigger than before.

The door still didn't open.

"Driver Bao, are you home?" Gu Shanhai continued to knock on the door and asked.

He wouldn't come to the door to collect rent for the first time, and encounter someone who deliberately defaulted on the rent, right?

As the landlord, Gu Shanhai has a spare key.He took out the key chain, found the one with the 302 label among a dozen keys, and planned to open the door to see what was going on inside.

Because of the sound of him opening the door, the people in the house couldn't hide it now, and they didn't have to listen carefully, they could hear a series of hurried footsteps.

"Come! Come!" A hoarse voice came from the door.Going ahead of Gu Shanhai, he opened the anti-theft door a crack.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu. I just came back from a long journey, so I was too sleepy to hear." The driver surnamed Bao, a strong man, peeked out a pair of eyes through the crack of the door, and glanced behind Gu Shanhai warily.

When he found that apart from Gu Shanhai himself, the other movement was made by a chubby big orange cat, and there was no one else, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Driver Bao, I'm here to collect the rent. You should pay the rent for these two months." Gu Shanhai smiled.

While the other party was observing him, Gu Shanhai was also observing the other party.It was the tenant himself who opened the door, but he smelled a faint smell of blood from the crack of the opened door.

The painter does not have such a keen sense of smell, it is his own ability.He can feel the emotions of the other party, and he is very unstable now.

Something is wrong, there is a problem!

Wouldn't the other party want to default on the rent?

However, Gu Shanhai's guess was soon proved to be overthinking.

The other party delivered a wad of money quickly through the crack of the door.

"It's been prepared for you a long time ago." The strong man forced a smile on his face and said through the door. "Mr. Gu, I may have to go on a long trip recently, and I don't know how long it will take to come back."

Gu Shanhai's first reaction was: "Do you still rent the house?"

"I don't know. After this month's rent is due, if I'm not here, I won't rent. Don't worry, I will leave a note on the table. If you see the note, throw away the luggage in my room Well, I can't use it either."

If Gu Shanhai can't see the problem again, he will live in vain for so many years.

has a problem!

The other party will not kill people and hide corpses in the rented room, are they going to run away?

After the driver Bao explained this, he was about to close the door.

At this moment.Gu Shanhai stretched out his hand against the door.

It is clearly a pair of white and slender hands, suitable for writing and drawing.But when he pushed so lightly, the driver Bao had such a strong figure and muscles all over, but he didn't even shake the door a little bit.

He didn't believe in evil, and exerted all his strength, but the door still didn't move an iota.

"Mr. Gu, what are you doing..." What?Before the driver could finish speaking, he felt himself being knocked into the air by a strong force.

bang.

Gu Shanhai knocked open the anti-theft door, entered the door and quickly looked around to check for suspicious places in the rental house.

The anti-theft door closed behind him, and apartment 302 was tightly closed to form a closed space.

Now in this apartment, there are only Gu Shanhai, the tenant, and the big orange cat who came in with him.

"Meow!" the orange cat yelled at the strong man.

Gu Shanhai was also looking at the other party.He didn't find anything abnormal in the rented house, but he saw something abnormal in this tenant.

"So you are the Leopard Demon!" He revealed the other party's identity, "Don't hide, your tail is scared out!"
