Chapter 44 Hidden Motives

The two entered the house, one footstep went directly to the bedroom, the other lightly wandered in the living room, then the kitchen, and finally the bathroom.

During this process, although Jack pretended to be asleep, his ears were actually alert to capture every sound outside.

The person who entered the bedroom should be Bob, and the person with light footsteps was Lily.

Lily's movement in other rooms made Jack worried. He was afraid that the other self did not really disappear, but was hiding in a corner and could be discovered at any time.

As for Bob, he was now standing by the bed and watching him, but as long as Jack remained still, he would not notice anything unusual.

After entering the house, the two remained silent, and Jack could only continue to pretend to sleep, and it was inconvenient to "wake up" immediately.

Soon, he heard Lily's footsteps coming to the bedroom.

The position at the end of the bed moved, and Bob whispered to Lily: "Strange, why is there a slipper on the bed?"

Hearing this, Jack almost laughed out loud. In a hurry just now, one of the slippers might have been hooked by his feet when he jumped on the bed and fell on the sheets.

Now that the other party has spoken, for a person with a light sleep, Jack has enough reasons to "wake up".

He slowly turned over, pretended to open his eyes in a daze, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then suddenly sat up, staring at the two people beside the bed, showing a look of shock.

"Chief Li, Chief Zhao? How did you... get in?"

Bob did not answer, but looked at Lily.

Lily looked at Jack seriously, and seeing that he seemed to be normal, she explained: "We were worried that something might happen to you at home, so we opened the door and came in directly."

From her appearance, it seemed that she did not find anything unusual in other rooms. Jack breathed a sigh of relief. The other self should have disappeared and not hidden.

He pretended to be surprised and said, "You could have called me directly!"

Lily raised her phone: "I called, but you didn't answer, so we had to do this."

Jack pretended to look for his phone, then took it out from under the pillow, took a look, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I turned it to silent before going to bed."

Then he asked curiously: "Chief Li, did you get my door key from Chief Ted?"

Lily was stunned for a moment and turned to Bob, who looked a little embarrassed.

Lily smiled and said to Jack: "I have a master key, which is standard equipment for the investigation team, and Dave also has it."

"Do I... have it?" Bob hesitated.

"You... don't have it?" Lily blinked at him.

Seeing the two of them acting like a skit, Jack found it funny and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

"It's about Rainy's house." Lily said, "When we got there, Brother Zheng said you had left, but we searched and didn't find the skin that fell off Rainy's body."

"We were worried that the thing had followed you back, so Sister Naijing and I came to take a look immediately." Bob added.

Jack nodded.

If he were a member of the investigation team, he might also rush over to take a look out of concern.

"Do you mind Dave checking your body?" Lily asked with concern, "Because according to Brother Zheng's description, the thing can attach to people's skin, so for your safety, we must check it carefully."

"Okay."

Lily broke into a private house without consent, but at least it was out of consideration for his safety.

And if he really had an accident, it would be necessary to break in and check.

Bob approached Jack and carefully checked him from head to toe, especially his hair, which was rubbed into a chicken coop, to check if there was anything abnormal on his scalp.

Since locking the face, Jack's back of the head has not been itchy for a long time, so he knows that the other party can't see anything unusual.

A few minutes later, Bob looked up and said to Lily: "Nothing special."

"Does your skin feel uncomfortable or tight?" Lily asked Jack.

Jack shook his head: "Since the layer of skin fell off at Rainy's house, there is nothing unusual."

Lily said again: "You should go to the physical examination center of the First Municipal Hospital for an examination tomorrow, especially for skin. It is our designated physical examination center. When you arrive, report my name and phone number, then take a photo and sign the registration. You don't have to pay."

As a member of the special case investigation team, Jack suspected that they might often come into contact with some unclean things because of their work.

These things will quietly invade the human body like the face that possessed Rainy, so it is necessary to set up a designated physical examination center.

Free physical examination? He would not refuse.

Jack agreed immediately and got up to pour a cup of hot water for the two.

The three of them returned to the living room. Jack subconsciously looked around the corners of the room. He was still a little worried.

After all, the other self suddenly appeared behind the bedroom door. Although he disappeared just now, he might suddenly appear in front of Lily and Bob now.

Fortunately, Lily and Bob did not intend to stay for long. They said they did not need to drink water and then opened the living room door to leave.

Standing at the door, Lily said, "Brother Zheng also said last time that if you encounter abnormalities again and again, it is very likely that you are particularly attracted to them, so you should be careful in the future."

After that, she winked at Bob, and Bob understood and took out a black telescopic baton similar to the police from his bag and handed it to Jack.

"Please keep this telescopic stick. You can use it for self-defense and physical attacks. If the abnormality is a ghost, you can press the button on the handle and swing the stick at the target. It can effectively attack the ghost three times."

Jack took the stick and thanked him, then frowned and said, "Why didn't I see Mr. Zheng using this stick at Rainy's house before?"

Lily smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He has many ways to deal with these cases, and he handles almost every case differently."

"And..." Lily paused and said, "You have good mental strength. If you are interested, you can go to the Public Security Bureau to register after passing the physical examination. Maybe you can eat public food in the future!"

Jack was stunned and immediately felt that this physical examination was just an excuse for Lily to let him go to the Public Security Bureau to register. The main purpose might just be to let him join them in some name.

Of course, another purpose of the physical examination is to ensure that your body has not been invaded by abnormalities before joining.

At this moment, a metaphor that was not quite correct, but seemed very appropriate when he thought about it carefully, suddenly emerged in Jack's mind. He felt like he was about to be castrated and enter the palace.
