Chapter 389: Choosing to Stay
The man clutched his head, "Just because I couldn’t find any doesn’t mean you don’t have them, and with so many of you, it’s not necessary that everyone has one."
Guo Gang also didn’t understand, "Then on what basis do you think our family would have any?"
The man actually had his own opinion, "Because you have children in the household, and children are the hope of the future, so it’s more likely that your family has them. Also, you don’t have to go to work, while I’ve checked out the others, they have jobs, so maybe they have special quotas and don’t need to get tickets themselves, which means they probably aren’t holding onto any. And besides, your house is on the edge, which makes it the easiest target."
The man was particularly pleased with his smart analysis, convinced that his reasoning was unbeatable. All these years, he had never missed a detective novel; before the apocalypse, he was an unwavering fan of "Conan." His parents always criticized him for not pursuing a proper career, but look now, at the end, wasn’t this knowledge proving useful?
Perhaps it was because it had been too long since he’d spoken to someone, or perhaps because he suddenly felt an urge to release his pent-up emotions, or maybe he just felt that his talents needed to be recognized. In any case, right now, he just wanted to talk.
In reality, it was more because his mind was also not quite right anymore, only he didn’t realize that. He wanted to get a ticket, not so much for the sake of moving on and surviving, but more to prove his own abilities.
Gu Pan looked at the man’s somewhat frenzied appearance, and felt that something was off about him, but she could tell from his analysis that he was likely very experienced.
Suddenly, she thought of something and said to the man, "You’re right, your analysis is very accurate, and you have experience. So, since you’re so smart, perhaps you really have succeeded before. Let me guess, do you have a ticket on you?"
The man’s expression became more serious, "What are you trying to do?"
Gu Pan was only trying to make a point, but now she genuinely felt there might be a possibility, so she said to Guo Gang, "Brother Guo, search him."
