Chapter 1 The Color of Money

Wang Fengnian's expression subtly changed after hearing Li Ang's words. He got up, went into the room, and closed the door behind him.

Li Ang could hear him making several phone calls through the thick door.

After the calls, Wang Fengnian came out and nodded at Li Ang. "I've asked my colleagues to investigate. The hospital and clinic systems are all connected now, so it won't be long before we can find out.

"Xiao Li, you've done a great job this time. If we catch the criminal, we should give you a banner."

"Uncle, you're too kind."

Li Ang quickly stood up and said modestly, "There's no need for a banner. My house is already covered with certificates, like the 'Quiet Napping Good Baby Award,' 'Yin City Primary School Student Traffic Safety Knowledge First Prize,' 'Diligent Handwashing Before and After Meals Self-Care Little Pioneer Award,' 'I Love Invention - Yin City Primary and Secondary School Student Small Production Competition Consolation Prize,' '2013-2014 Yin City Experimental Middle School Home-School Cooperation Project Excellent Parent Award,' and so on.

"Besides, my family has many banners, such as 'Exquisite Medical Skills, Gynecological Master,' 'Skillful Hands, Saving My Dog's Life, Curing My Cat's Illness,' 'Exemplary Medical Ethics, Thirteen Babies and Mother Safe and Sound.' There's really no place to put them or hang them."

"..."

Wang Fengnian was stunned for a long time before he suppressed the urge to retort and nodded with a tight expression.

This kid is definitely not normal.

Just then, the kitchen work was finished, and Jiang Xinwan and Wang Congshan brought dishes to the table, inviting the two to eat.

The atmosphere of the meal was quite good. When Li Ang was normal, he was not only knowledgeable and able to talk about astronomy, geography, anecdotes, and history, but also humorous and interesting, making people happy. He was a "treasure boy" that old women liked very much.

If he worked as a host, he would become a gold-medal host in the club in minutes, and a monthly salary of millions would not be a dream.

While chatting, Li Ang's hearing, which had been modified, clearly heard the "clack clack" of women's high heels in the corridor.

As the sound of a key unlocking the door rang out, the door opened, and a strange dog bark came from inside.

After a moment, the door opened again, and the woman left the room in high heels, taking the elevator downstairs.

Did she go home to get something?

Li Ang took a sip of cola and asked casually, "By the way, Auntie, did a new neighbor move into the apartment across the hall? I think the lock has been changed."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xinwan couldn't help but sigh. "After that happened, Fang Ni's daughter came back from abroad to take care of her parents' funeral.

"She stays abroad all year round and doesn't want to keep the apartment, so she sold it at a low price to a high school classmate. I think... it's a girl named Tang, right?

"Neighbors said that she seems to be a model, living with her best friend."

She thought of something and stood up from her chair, taking two strips of paper taped together with colorful transparent tape from the openwork partition shelf.

There were some words on the paper, which looked fresh and beautiful.

"Hello! I am the owner of 2084, who just moved in this Saturday. Our dog may not be used to the new environment, so it has been barking non-stop recently, especially at night.

"Because my best friend and I often work night shifts and are not at home, this guy barks even more fiercely than during the day, so it has caused you a lot of trouble.

"We are afraid that apologizing in person will make you feel more burdened, so we are expressing our apology in this way. We will let it adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, and apologize again for the unhappiness caused during this time."

The other paper also had some content written on it.

"Hello, my name is Mao Mao, and I am one year old.

"I used to be a stray dog. I lost my family when I was very young, and I also lost an eye in an accident. I feel very lucky to have met my current owner.

"I just moved here recently and I'm not used to it. I hope to get your understanding. I will adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

"Mao Mao the troublemaker, respectfully."

Jiang Xinwan propped her head with her hand and said with some emotion, "A very gentle girl, young and beautiful, and very polite and reasonable..."

"Yes."

Li Ang nodded with a smile, but he was a little concerned in his heart.

The dog's barking just now... was not normal.

Li Ang secretly made up his mind to come over tonight and investigate this new neighbor living across from Wang Congshan's house.

Ding-a-ling—

Wang Fengnian's phone rang. He nodded apologetically to his wife, got up, and went into the room to answer the phone.

"Hello."

"You found the suspect's registered information in the hospital?"

"He's in Wanrong Community, Dongfan Street? Did you send someone to arrest him? What did the colleagues at the scene say?"

"Dead?! How did he die?"

"Full body dehydration, organ failure, time of death at least seven days ago...

"That's impossible. The incident happened two days ago, and the suspect went to the hospital to stitch up his wound that afternoon, didn't he?"

"It's that kind of thing again..."

"Okay, you go and inform those people. I'll be there soon."

After a moment, Wang Fengnian came out with a gloomy face, and without saying a word, picked up his uniform hanging on the hanger.

Jiang Xinwan frowned when she saw her husband's appearance, and said with some concern, "You have to work again?"

"Yes, the situation is quite special."

Wang Fengnian glanced at Li Ang, hesitated, and said nothing.

He only told his wife that he might be back very late tonight, and then went straight out the door.

After he left, the atmosphere in the living room became quiet again. Just as the meal was almost finished, Li Ang volunteered to go to the kitchen with Wang Congshan to clean up the dishes.

After cleaning up, he said goodbye to Wang Congshan and her mother, and came to the corridor.

Li Ang pretended to bend down to tie his shoelaces, blocking the surveillance camera, and let Chai Da Xiaojie separate from his body, immerse into the ground, and go to the neighbor's house across the hall to check the situation inside.

Woof woof woof, the strange dog bark rang out again, sounding full of vigilance and alertness.

After a few breaths, Chai Da Xiaojie, who had swam through the concrete floor, once again attached herself to Li Ang's body.

Li Ang pressed the elevator button while silently thinking in his heart, "Is there anything special inside the house?"

"..."

Chai Da Xiaojie's expression was a little strange. She took a deep breath. "In the corner of the living room, there is a dog cage.

"Inside, lies a one-eyed middle-aged man wearing a dog skin."

Ding-dong.

The elevator door opened, and a beautiful young woman in a light green dress, wearing sunglasses and lipstick, and carrying a large plastic bag appeared in front of Li Ang.

Her face was filled with a warm smile, like a spring breeze. She walked out of the elevator, brushed past Li Ang, carrying a fresh and elegant fragrance, and went straight to Room 2084.

After opening the door, she said to the dog-skinned man in the corner of the living room, "Mao Mao, look, Mommy bought you a bag of your favorite dog food."

Li Ang's eyes instantly turned cold, and the system prompt sounded in his ears at the same time.
