Qin Zhen was busy until after 10 p.m. When he finally arrived home, just about to enter, he heard a voice calling him, "Qin Zhen."
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Qin Zhen turned his head, "It's you! What are you doing blocking my way in the middle of the night?"
Qi Yan stepped forward, "I'm not blocking you, I just got off work and am heading home. But I indeed needed to see you."
Qin Zhen was puzzled, "What do you need me for?"
Qi Yan glanced at him and asked, "Do you know who lives next door to your cousin?"
"How would I know that? I've been there a few times and never met anyone, and besides, why would I go around asking about neighbors?" Qin Zhen looked at him suspiciously, "You're asking this in the middle of the night... Is there something wrong with that neighbor?"
Qi Yan didn't answer his question but countered, "Then do you know that Ming Liping lives in the courtyard house to the left?"
