I proudly swung the keychain that was clearly a size too small in my hand.

"Do you think by swapping my apartment number and changing the room number on the key, I would suspect the manager of this apartment - Chen Yin?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Or do you think that by having close contact with Chen Yin downstairs, I would suspect that he put Zhou Hui's phone back in my bag?"

I nodded solemnly, "Yes, I do suspect him, that's why I knocked him out."

He couldn't help but ask, "When did you..."

I interrupted his question.

"As a late-stage paranoid patient, I equally suspect every person in this building."

As a precaution, every time I opened a room door, I left the key in the keyhole when closing it, not pulling it out.

This way, no matter which room the person is in, they won't be able to come out.

"So when we passed each other at the elevator, I suspected you. Moreover, you still have the smell of the medical department's lab on you, are you a medical student? Did you steal the body from my room?"

"What?! There's a body too? Aren't we just playing a prank?"

His voice was full of shock.

Hmm?

I furrowed my brow.

"Stop pretending, I'm coming over now, be prepared to face the consequences."

After hanging up the phone, I stepped over the unconscious Chen Yin on the ground and walked lightly towards 1505.

As I turned the key on the door, I heard the calm voice of the junior inside the room:

"I've already called the police."

???

The junior was really useless, if you can't handle it, don't play.

I stopped my actions and cautiously confirmed with him.

"Are you serious?"

"I lied to you, you want to run, then run fast, it's too late, don't come in! Spare me!"

"What kind of grudge do you have with me to end up in the police station together? You're crazy!"

"I'm not going to the damn police station, I'm just fooling around..."

Before he could finish, I hurried back to 1509, untied Zhou Hui, and took him to the next room, 1507 in 1505.

It seemed like the guy inside heard the noise and shouted, "What are you doing? Moving a body? Are you trying to cover up evidence?"

"Say one more word, and I'll come in and kill you."

The useless junior remained as quiet as a chicken.

Zhou Hui's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was about to wake up, but I couldn't care less about him.

I planned to bring Chen Yin back to 1510, then pretend to faint myself.

Usually, I would create an alibi for myself, even if I ended up in the police station this time, they wouldn't have evidence, relying solely on Zhou Hui's testimony wouldn't be enough to convict me.

With that in mind, I stepped into room 1506.

However, Chen Yin suddenly disappeared.
