Guo Xing lived in Wangcheng, a suburban area of Xiang City, which is a large villa district. As it was recently developed, the occupancy rate was not high. Guo Xing lived in one of these villas. There were only a few shops at the entrance of the neighborhood, such as a convenience store, a pharmacy, a fruit shop, and two or three restaurants, one of which served wild live fish dishes while the other served home-cooked dishes. Around noon, it was starting to get some customers, and business was pretty good.
According to property registration records, someone else had rented the villa. However, upon police investigation, it was found out it was a fake ID.
