After searching on Baidu, Lin Jin quietly waited for it to get dark.
Because Baidu mentioned that if you want to find a hidden camera, it was best to do it in a pitch dark environment. That way, the camera will emit a red light, making it easier to find.
So, the black cat wouldn’t lie to me, right?
Lin Jin laid down on his bed, deep in thought. Now, the rented room no longer held the serene feeling from when he was alone. Instead, he always felt like a pair of eyes was watching him from some dark corner, making him feel spied upon even while lying in bed, keeping him constantly unsettled.
Maybe I should just go back to the dorm to sleep tonight? Just casually mention to them that I was being peeped on?
Or should I just call the police?
Not to mention confirming whether there was really a camera in the bathroom, even if there was and the police come to remove it. Then when they checked its contents for confirmation, wouldn't that still mean someone saw him showering?
Lin Jin wasn't sure what the police would do after receiving such a report, but they would probably check the content of the camera, right? Even if they don't watch it all, they'd probably take a brief look, wouldn't they?
Ah, so calling the police won't work?
Lin Jin frowned. If he told his roommates about it, the first thing they'd probably think of would be to call the police, right?
Then who should I talk to about resolving this?
He sighed, frowning, thinking maybe he should seek help from a more mature friend in society. The only somewhat familiar one was that iceberg upstairs called Xia Tian.
Well, since we live in the same rental building, if there was a hidden camera here, there might be one in Xia Tian's place too, right? He would surely do his best to help, yeah.
Just as Lin Jin was about to go upstairs to seek Xia Tian's help, he suddenly realized he didn't know which room Xia Tian lived in. He only knew it was upstairs, but he lived on the second floor, and there were four floors in total.
Lin Jin naturally turned his gaze to Braised Pork, who was lying beside him like a salted fish.
Braised Pork felt a shiver all over and suddenly jumped up from the bed. After looking around, it finally realized that the chilling sense was coming from its owner.
"Braised Pork, can you take me to that room where you hooked up with the white cat?" Lin Jin smiled like a weirdo luring little girls. He even took a bag of cat food from under the bed, pouring a few pieces into his hand to tempt Braised Pork, "After you take me there, you and that white cat can have kids if you want, you can do whatever you want, and eat whatever you want every day. How does that sound?"
Although it seemed a bit off to negotiate with a cat, Braised Pork cleverly understood what Lin Jin meant. After nodding for a while, it dashed out of the window.
Lin Jin watched, baffled. Braised Pork was indeed leading the way, but he couldn't climb through the window.
However, Xia Tian soon came knocking on the door with Braised Pork in his hand.
"What's with your cat? It was trying to take my cat out to fool around right in front of me at home?" Xia Tian didn't look too pleased. He looked like a father whose daughter was being hit on by a poor kid.
"No, I asked it to go up and find you because I need a bit of help" Lin Jin sheepishly explained as he let Xia Tian in, even going out of his way to pull out a chair and offer a bottle of mineral water. Then, he sat on the bed and somewhat awkwardly explained "I have a problem here and I can't solve it by myself. My friends are all at school and it's too much trouble to call them over."
"What's the problem? Calling me over isn't too much trouble?" Xia Tian asked with a cold face as he put Braised Pork down on the floor and stuffed his hands into his coat pockets.
"I think there's a hidden camera in my bathroom."
Xia Tian was momentarily taken aback, then with a frown, he looked at Lin Jin. Without asking why, he stood up and went straight into Lin Jin's bathroom. Lin Jin hurried after him, watching as he took out his phone and used its camera to scan the entire bathroom.
"How is it?" Lin Jin blinked rapidly, peeking at Xia Tian's phone. "Did you find it?"
"There really is." Xia Tian nodded. He straightened up and peered into a crack in the wall about 1.8 meters high. "There's a red light here, there should be a camera inside."
"There really is one?" Lin Jin's face immediately went pale. He felt sick at the thought that footage of him showering might have been seen by the landlord or someone else. It was like being force fed a mouthful of sh*t.
"But it's too high up, you're only about 1.65 meters tall, so it could probably only capture your shoulders." Xia Tian seriously nodded, then glanced at Lin Jin and changed his tune, "You wear platform shoes normally, right? Now you don't even look 1.6 meters tall. It would be pretty good if the camera could even catch your head."
So does that mean I should thank the black cat for making me shorter?
"I'll help you look around some more, just in case I missed one. After, I'll go back to my room and check there too." Xia Tian said warmly, albeit with a cold face. The contrast was quite cute.
Seeing that made Lin Jin’s heart itch~ In short, he just felt unexpectedly charmed by this cold Xia Tian person.
"If there's a problem in my place too, it's probably cameras placed by the landlord. If it's only here, it might be some pervert who put them here to stalk you." Xia Tian babbled, trying to soothe Lin Jin whose face wasn’t looking too good, "But don't worry too much. As long as you don't have a habit of running around naked at home, you should be fine."
"No!" Lin Jin immediately shook his head. "I usually get dressed in the bathroom after showering."
"Then it should be fine. By the way, do you normally bring men home?" Xia Tian continued, "If not, at most they've only filmed your daily routine."
"Yes, just you" Lin Jin nodded.
"Just me?" Xia Tian was taken aback. He turned his head to look at Lin Jin with a weird expression in his eyes, but didn't say much and just walked out of the bathroom, "I'll help check the rest of your room too. There was only that one camera in the bathroom, I've checked it all."
"Okay." Lin Jin followed behind Xia Tian, asking like a lackey, "Want a bottle of Coke or something? I'll go down and buy you one."
"No need." Xia Tian turned off the room lights, plunging the entire room into darkness.
"I'll help you call the police later. Even though the bathroom camera can't capture your body, it's still pretty dangerous." After checking the room, Xia Tian found a red light from a wall socket. Crouching down, he tried to plug Lin Jin’s charger in but was blocked by something. "The room's camera should just be this one."
"Mhm." Lin Jin kept nodding.
After searching the entire room, Xia Tian put his phone back into his pocket and helped Lin Jin move the only table in front of that socket to block it, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going back."
"Bye."
"I'll just call the police for you, by the way, I'm in room 302, don't let your cat come find me again."
With that last remark, Xia Tian left Lin Jin's room as if escaping, leaving Lin Jin looking confused.
