After returning to his room, Fang Zheng quickly received a call from Detective Date.
"No good. The police station here is completely useless. No matter how I asked, they said those people had simply moved away."
"Is that so? Did you investigate the people who moved away?"
"Of course. I also questioned the families of those who moved, but they insisted those people had simply relocated. All the paperwork was in order too. At least, I couldn't find any problems here."
"Which is exactly why there's a problem, right?"
"Yeah..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Detective Date's tone turned grave. Precisely because there were no problems, there had to be a problem.

"What are you planning to do next?"
"There's not much more I can do here. And I can tell someone has been following me. Under these circumstances, I doubt I'll get any useful leads. So I'm planning to leave this place for now and investigate other nearby areas. Their paperwork may be airtight here, but if I can't find any move-in records or procedures at the destination, then I'll have a way to confront these people face-to-face. In the meantime, I can only trouble you to keep investigating. There's definitely something wrong with this place."
"I understand. But don't count on me finding anything."

As he spoke,
