Eye of Sin

Chapter 690 Fake Identity

Zhao Dabao quickly contacted the landlord. About forty minutes later, a middle-aged man with sweat all over his forehead rushed over. He looked terrified and seemed to know what had happened in his house.

As soon as he saw Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan waiting at the door, he spoke to them impatiently: "What on earth is going on? I have no idea! I have rented out this house. It has been rented out for several months, and I have never been here!

If you have any problem, go find the person who rented my house, don't look for me, it really has nothing to do with me!"

"Aren't you worried about your own house?" Ning Shuyi found his attitude quite interesting and asked.

The landlord was very casual about this matter, waving his hands and saying, "It's just a shabby house, what's the point of caring about it! I was lucky to be able to rent it out in the first place, and I didn't expect to renew the lease or sell it later!
When the time comes to demolition, no one will care whether anyone has died inside or not.

So no matter what happens here, as long as you know it has nothing to do with me and don't cause me trouble, there is nothing else you can do but admit your bad luck!"

"Do you have the personal information of the person who rented your house?" Huo Yan asked.

The landlord looked embarrassed: "Well... I have a rental contract."

As he spoke, he rummaged in his trouser pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of printed paper. He unfolded it and handed it to Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan for review.

It was obvious at first glance that the rental contract was a contract template that had been found on the Internet. Even the rental amount and deposit amount were handwritten by crossing out the numbers on the original sample. There was an air of irregularity everywhere.

The personal information of the tenant and the landlord were also written down below. The landlord's part could be ignored. The tenant's information was written extremely sloppily, to the point where it was even difficult to recognize. Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan had to work very hard to make out what the other had written.

According to the information registered on the rental contract, the tenant's name is Li Lei.

His emergency contact's name is...Han Meimei...

Under normal circumstances, this would definitely be something to make people laugh, but at this moment Ning Shuyi really couldn't laugh and frowned.

To be honest, the personal information left by the tenant is really weird!

Huo Yan pointed at the ID number column of the tenant with his finger, frowned and asked the landlord: "When your tenant rented the house, the ID number he left was missing two digits. Didn't you notice that?"

"No!" The landlord was quite frank about this. "My house was originally impossible to rent out. Finally someone came to rent it to me and offered a pretty good price. I still asked for so much!

I don't have anything I want in my house. Unless he changes my house certificate to his own name, I will lose my reputation anyway, and I am not afraid that he will run away with all the things when the term expires.

I am greedy for money, but greed for money is not against the law, right?"

The landlord's attitude left Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan at a loss for words.

"Okay, although you don't have the other party's real personal information, you must have seen this person before, right?" Ning Shuyi asked, "Is it a man or a woman? What's her age? Does she have any particularly obvious facial features?" "Of course I have seen her before." The landlord nodded, "The person who rented the house from me is a man, probably a little taller than me, about as high as your eyebrows!"

As he spoke, he compared himself to the height of Huo Yan's eyebrows, pondered over it, and felt that it was true: "Yeah, it's this high!
I don't know whether he was fat or thin. It was quite cold when he came to rent the house. He was wearing a lot of thick clothes and you couldn't tell how fat or thin he was.

I can’t really tell what he looks like because he was wearing a mask and I couldn’t see clearly.

Originally, he had paid for half a year, and the lease was about to expire. I was actually mentally prepared in the event that by the time the lease expired, I would come and see that the house had been messed up and the tenant was long gone.

I didn’t expect that I had prepared for the worst, but the result was even worse than I could have imagined! What the hell is this!

"You don't have any impression of his appearance? You rented the house to him without even seeing his face?" Huo Yan frowned, finding it somewhat unbelievable what the landlord said.

"Really, I'm not lying! If I lie, God will punish me!" The landlord swore solemnly, holding up three fingers as if swearing, "I don't actually live here anymore, but I heard that one of my neighbors actually rented out the house. Although it's cheap, every little bit counts, so I wanted to give it a try.

I didn't expect that after I posted the advertisement, someone actually contacted me a few days later and said that he wanted to rent my house, without even saying the price. When I saw that the other party was so willing, I said that the rent could not be paid on a monthly basis.

I originally wanted to pay every three months, but the man said he could pay me for half a year at a time.

I was delighted when I heard that. Why would I hesitate? I agreed immediately, fearing that the other party would regret it if I agreed a little later. "

"What about the payment method?" Ning Shuyi asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"He gave me cash." The landlord gave the answer that Ning Shuyi was most worried about, but also the answer he expected.

"How about this, please cooperate with our work and come back to the bureau with us later to help us draw a portrait of the tenant." Ning Shuyi said to him, "Although you said you didn't see his full face clearly, you still have an impression of some features. You may not be able to remember them out of thin air, but if you combine it with the portrait, you may be able to remember some details."

"That's fine...but...I can't draw! I can draw a turtle when playing poker, but I can't draw a person!" The landlord spread his hands, a little embarrassed.

Ning Shuyi felt a dull pain in his temples and took a deep breath. "You don't need to draw it yourself. You just need to recall the details. The portrait will be completed by the professionals in our bureau."

"Oh, so that's it! That's fine!" The landlord was relieved when he heard what was going on. "That's fine with me...

Oh, no, there is one more thing. If I go with you, can you take me home afterwards?

I ran out in a hurry, without any money or cell phone, and only had a rental contract in my pocket!
I just took a taxi here and found out about this when I got off the car. The money was paid by an old neighbor!"

"Okay, no problem." Ning Shuyi nodded to him again.

"Okay, okay, then let's..." The landlord touched his pocket and remembered that he didn't bring his cell phone. He reached out and pulled Huo Yan's wrist and looked at the time on his watch. "Oh, it's already this late! Then let's go to the Public Security Bureau quickly. I have another bureau tonight!"
