Chapter 205: Chapter 115 Bai Ci•Holmes•Lin_3

"There’s this rich second-generation kid in our college who went with flowers and a diamond ring to confess to Mi Qin, only to end up with a bloody nose!"

"Pursue a goddess like Mi Qin without ten billion yuan in the family? Dare you?"

"Heh, what’s so great about a goddess, in the end isn’t she just someone else’s toy?"

The boys babbled.

"Don’t even talk about goddesses now; even ordinary girls are hard to chase!"

"Yeah, that guy in Class 3, stole an electric bike to buy stuff for his girlfriend, ended up getting caught and expelled, lost his future and his girlfriend."

"I heard that the girl got herself a new boyfriend right away, so why aren’t those mad dogs biting this stinking woman?"

The topic was wide open, Lin Baici didn’t need to guide the conversation.

"I heard that the guy didn’t go back, rented a place off campus, still wants to continue with his girlfriend, and has pestered her several times!"

"What an idiot!"

"Have they slept together? If they have, it’s not a loss!"

Lin Baici listened for a while, feeling that this piece of intelligence might be valuable: "What’s the name of this guy? What’s his popularity like normally?"

"His name is Du Shan, he’s okay in terms of popularity."

Apart from attending classes, you rarely saw Du Shan around; now it comes to mind, he must have been off stealing electric bikes.

"How about his girlfriend? Is she pretty?"

Lin Baici pretended to be curious.

"Average person, I guess. Give her a five out of ten, but she’s quite tall with long legs, likes to wear makeup!"

"The girls in their class don’t seem to like her, right?"

"Yeah, because someone in the dorm lost some stuff, it was pretty unpleasant, and everyone ended up switching dorms."

You meet so few people in college, and it’s boring when things turn out so stiff.

"Do you guys know where Du Shan is living now?"

Lin Baici opened a few bottles of soda and handed them out to everyone.

"No idea, let me go ask for you!"

A glasses-wearing boy with higher emotional intelligence saw that Lin Baici was interested in the matter and immediately went out to make some inquiries.

"He’s in the Boxue Community, but I don’t know which building."

Lin Baici’s eyebrows raised slightly when he heard the name of the community.

If this guy really had issues, then how did he get hold of Taboo things?

Lin Baici stayed until 5 PM, feeling it was unlikely he would get any more valuable information, so he took his leave.

"What’s up with this kid?"

Somebody was curious about Lin Baici: "He’s pretty handsome!"

"Wasn’t he here to learn some tips from Lao Zhang on ball games?"

"Then why was he asking about Du Shan all the time?"

"Maybe he wants to buy a cheap bike?"

In everyone’s mind, Du Shan was already labelled a habitual thief, probably sustaining his daily expenses with theft. Otherwise, what could an undergraduate student who hasn’t graduated do?

Lin Baici went downstairs and saw Xia Hongyao squatting by the flowerbed, idly playing with her phone.

Quite a few boys were eyeing her.

"Any luck?"

Lin Baici asked with a smile.

"Nobody paid any attention to me!"

Xia Hongyao felt depressed: "It was only after I showed them my badge that they started to answer some questions. Little Linzi, I think you’d be more effective in the girls’ dorm."

Lin Baici thought to himself, I might not be useful in the girls’ dorm, but if you went to the boys’ dorm, they’d definitely kiss up to you, they might even tell you about when they wet the bed as kids.

"Let’s go, to the Boxue Community!"

Lin Baici prepared to go find the guy who stole the electric bike.

"Why go again?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

Lin Baici repeated his findings: "If such an unpopular girl wasn’t bitten by the mad dogs, but other girls were, this isn’t a coincidence, then this girl or her ex-boyfriend is more likely to be the problem."

"Then why not look for this girl first?"

Xia Hongyao wondered.

"This girl is often on campus and doesn’t have many chances to come into contact with Taboo things, while a guy who often goes out to steal electric bikes moves around a lot and is very likely to get his hands on Taboo things!"

Lin Baici explained: "But don’t get your hopes up too high, the chances of it being a coincidence are bigger."

The two of them went back to the Boxue Community.

Because the community was so old and had no property management, Lin Baici couldn’t get information on the residents. However, the old security guard at the gate mentioned that if he wanted to rent a place, he could go to the residents’ committee and ask.

"Grandpa, how many guys around my age live alone in this community?"

Lin Baici passed over a pack of cigarettes.

Wow, Zhonghua cigarettes!

The old security guard took a glance at Lin Baici and accepted the cigarettes.

Had Lin Baici asked about girls, the old security guard would definitely have stayed quiet, but it was okay to talk about guys.

"Most of the tenants here are couples, alas, young people these days are too open, living together before they’re even married."

The old security guard lamented the decline of morals, lighting up a cigarette: "There are a few guys who live by themselves, not many, probably had a conflict with their roommates, huh?"

"Any of them left a deep impression on you?"

Actually, Lin Baici had gotten a picture of Du Shan, snapped from the archives by Du Shan’s counselor when they left the school.

But presenting it now would make the old security guard suspicious.

"There’s a tall guy in Building 7, third floor, who often invites a bunch of people over to hang out. He’s been complained about several times by the people upstairs!"

"Building 9 has one, you might not see him for two or three weeks at a time, makes me worry he’s dead at home!"

"Building 12 has one who seems to be some sort of professional gamer, plays a lot of video games, has loads of computers at home, racking up thousands of yuan in electricity bills every month!"

The old security guard prattled on.

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Xia Hongyao thanked him.

"No problem!"

The old security guard watched Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao head towards Building 9, thought about it, but decided not to interfere. His paycheck was only good for watching the gate. He wasn’t responsible for anything else that happened.
