Thinking like this, Gu Qinghan dragged his tired body and slowly looked at the bed, feeling a sadness in his heart.

As a time traveler, I am afraid that I am the only one who has gotten to this point.

From today on, he will cut off contact with everyone.

How lonely.

Thinking like this, Gu Qinghan closed his eyes and fell straight on the bed to end this tiring day.

However, the final knock on the door sounded again——

Boom boom boom!

The steady and powerful rhythm made Gu Qinghan's back feel tight.

In just a moment, it switched to combat mode.

"Who?" he said deliberately angrily.

If it's a man, scold him back.

If it's a woman, then scold her/him even harder!

After making up his mind, Gu Qinghan turned and walked towards the door, assuming a posture of preparation for battle.

No matter what, we must not give Huang Mao a chance to take advantage of him!

However, the voice coming from outside the door was surprisingly familiar——

"It's me, Catalina. We met earlier this morning."

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but hesitate in his steps and his expression was stiff.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked his clothes.

Why did she come back?

Gu Qinghan felt his brain buzzing and his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

Was the trap he set exposed?

He thought of the possibility.

At the same time, the soft voice of a girl came from outside the door again——

"Regarding what happened this morning, I need to formally apologize to you. Could you please open the door?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but be startled.

"I know you're in the room now, please don't lie to me a second time just to cover it up."

Outside the door, Catalina's apologetic and nervous voice came.

Gu Qinghan was stunned for three seconds. After struggling internally, he finally got up and reached for the doorknob.

- Squeak!

The girl with silver hair shawl looked at Gu Qinghan with her red eyes.

At this time, Catalina was wearing a white suspender skirt and sandals on her slender feet, looking like a girl next door.

Gu Qinghan looked at Catalina in front of him and found that her cheeks were red and she was shyly holding her hands behind her back, waiting at a loss for Gu Qinghan to open the door.

"Good evening, Mr. Inspector."

Gu Qinghan showed a knowing smile and looked at Catalina with a hint of teasing.

The girl lowered her head with a flushed face, looked at her toes as white as garlic cloves, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"I won't go into the house. It's not working time now... Entering and exiting the house casually will violate the rules."

Gu Qinghan smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding.

After a pause, Catalina raised her head again and looked at Gu Qinghan solemnly.

"I came here mainly to tell you something."

She said every word.

"If you continue like this, you will still be arrested, so you must be careful!"

Chapter 12 Gifts are light but affection is heavy, sending my wife a thousand miles away

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown.

He didn't understand what Catalina meant, but one thing was certain.

Gu Qinghan's situation now seems to be still dangerous.

"Tell me more about it." Gu Qinghan asked in a low voice.

Catalina first looked around to make sure no one else was eavesdropping, and then cautiously poked her head in.

She put her fragrant lips to Gu Qinghan's ear, opened her white teeth and whispered:

"Do you know why I checked on you first this morning?"

Gu Qinghan was startled at first, then slowly shook his head.

Speaking of which, Catalina's inspection time happened to be exactly eight o'clock this morning.

Under normal circumstances, it will take some time from the start of spot checks to the end of "checking yourself."

For example, to make nucleic acid, it takes a while from the time you start queuing up until it is your turn to make nucleic acid.

As for Gu Qinghan's situation this morning, there was not even a minute difference, it was exactly eight o'clock.

In other words, Catalina has been waiting at her door for a long time, waiting to start knocking on the door on time.

This made Gu Qinghan's expression darken.

He quickly thought of a possibility.

"Because I'm a person of concern?"

Gu Qinghan's eyes were cold and he spoke word by word.

"Yes."

Catalina looked serious, nodded solemnly and continued:

"Then do you know why you are included in the key targets?"

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown, this was really bad news.

"not sure what it is?"

Catalina glanced around again, then took a deep breath, showed her sincere eyes, and said word by word:

"Because you are too homely."

Gu Qinghan:?

He looked puzzled.

Is it illegal to stay in a dead house?

Catalina bit her lip lightly, as if anticipating Gu Qinghan's doubts, and then lowered her tone and said seriously:

"According to the intelligence collected by our private investigation, you moved to Dieter Street in Beloved City and seemed to appear out of thin air."

"It's weird."

Speaking of this, Catalina rolled her eyes and continued:

"On the other hand, the neighborhood knows nothing about you after you move here."

"Everyone has various speculations about you, thinking that you may be hiding some unknown secret."

"The neighbors criticize you. This is the fundamental reason why the higher-ups doubt you."

Gu Qinghan looked into Catalina's eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It turned out to be the case.

People are petitioning.

No wonder Catalina said she was too homely.

"In other words, what do I need to do most now?"

“Make more friends with your neighbors and let everyone get rid of their misunderstandings about you.”

Word by word, Catalina stared into Gu Qinghan's eyes and said.

"People's prejudices are like a big mountain. If this continues, the misunderstanding will become deeper and deeper, and the Supervision Corps will definitely replace you with someone to monitor you."

"By then, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash yourself away."

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown and nod.

What Katerina said is indeed important.

This morning, because Catalina came to check on him, Gu Qinghan was able to save himself without any danger.

If it were someone whom Gu Qinghan didn't know, he might have gone to prison by now.

"Thank you Miss Catalina for your sincere help. I will consider going out more and contacting neighbors to avoid misunderstandings."

Faintly, Gu Qinghan smiled and bowed to thank him, with a sincere expression.

On the other side, Catalina showed a pleased expression.

"Good, I'm glad you realize that."

Catalina looked at Gu Qinghan with a smile, and then said casually:

"In this case, it's better to choose a different day than to hit it, so why not start now?"

There was a clear hint of joy in her tone.

Gu Qinghan was startled for a moment, then blinked, vaguely realizing that the development of the problem seemed to be somewhat ominous.

"You mean, dealing with neighbors now?" he asked tentatively.

Vaguely, Gu Qinghan felt something was wrong.

Things seemed to be taking a turn for the worst.

He has just changed jobs, and coupled with the negative effects of his yellow-haired constitution, he is very unsuitable for dealing with people now.

"To tell you the truth, I have already thought about the candidate."

As she spoke, Catalina stretched out a slender and gentle hand and held Gu Qinghan's palm.

Then she glanced at him with a smile, turned around and spoke slowly:

"Mr. Richard, you can come out~"

The sweet words echoed in the dark and narrow corridor.

As the sound spread, the orange magic light above the head flickered, illuminating the barren corridor.

Gu Qinghan froze on the spot.

His eyes stayed on the neighbor's door opposite, less than three meters away from Gu Qinghan.

There is a small gap there.

The neighbor's door was deliberately not closed tightly.

Eavesdropping on their conversation.

At this time, Catalina turned back with a smile, looked at Gu Qinghan happily and said:

"Mr. Hohenheim, your neighbor Mr. Richard is very much looking forward to making friends with you. He has been waiting all day!"

"You should seize the opportunity and make friends with him!"

"Don't read those books all the time. Sometimes you need to go out and walk more!"

Looking at Catalina's slightly red face, Gu Qinghan realized something instantly and his face turned livid.

This Catalina is cheating on him!

At the same time, at the opposite door, less than three meters away from the two of them, the door slowly opened——
