Chapter 161: Shadow Lover

After living in Gao Jin's house for two months, You Jinlan finally waited for a rare opportunity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It was a light snow in the lunar calendar, and it happened to be Sunday, Gao Jin went to the store to be busy, and Gao Xiangqi went shopping with his girlfriend. When You Jinlan waited until she was the only one left in the house, she hurriedly "searched" in the house.

She started looking in the living room on the first floor, opened every drawer, opened every cabinet, and even went to the floor to check under the couch. After such a detailed inspection, an hour and a half had passed, and she had only finished searching the first floor.

"Gao Jin won't come back soon, but Gao Xiangqi can't say for sure. Thinking of this, You Jinlan immediately took out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialed Gao Xiangqi's number.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong?" Gao Xiangqi's joyful voice came from the earpiece.

"Xiangxiang, will you come back for dinner at noon?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, do you want me back?"

"Oh, no. I was going out to meet a classmate, so I didn't prepare to make lunch. You Jinlan was talking nonsense.

"Then you're busy with yours, I won't come back to eat. Speaking of this, Gao Xiangqi laughed "sigh".

You Jinlan seemed to hear the laughter of a man beside her, and K1's smiling face immediately appeared in front of her eyes. She suddenly reacted: Gao Xiangqi said that she was going shopping with her best friend, but in fact, it was a pretense, this little girl was dating K1!

After realizing this, You Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you should pay attention, don't eat roadside stalls indiscriminately." ”

"Got it. Bye。 Gao Xiangqi hung up the phone in a dashing manner.

You Jinlan put away her mobile phone and went up to the second floor.

On the second floor, she inspected several bedrooms, as well as Gao Jin's study, which no one else was allowed to enter. She stayed in the study for a long time, but she didn't find anything related to Ye Yingjun. On his shelves, there are books on Japanese studies, books on Toei culture, and books on hotel management.

You Jinlan patiently flipped through for a long time, but she didn't find anything greasy in the book. She rarely sees Gao Jin reading, and she thinks that most of these books are what Gao Jin used to read, or they are used to decorate the faΓ§ade.

What interests You Jinlan the most is Gao Jin's desk. There are eight drawers on either side of this large table, the bottom two of which are locked. You Jinlan tinkered for a while, making sure that she couldn't open it without a key. She thought of the keychain hanging on Gao Jin's waist, and couldn't help but sigh, "Except for taking a bath, Gao Jin's keychain is not separated from her body." ”

You Jinlan didn't gain anything on the second floor, she returned to her and Gao Jin's bedroom depressedly, and then sat on the sofa and was stunned.

Gao Jin's villa has a total of four floors, and the first basement floor is a storage room, which stores some of Gao Jin's favorite wines, as well as weapons, which You Jinlan once mentioned when he heard Gao Jin and his men talk on the phone. The basement is usually locked, and You Jinlan obviously can't open it.

The third floor is actually an attic and is not usually used. You Jinlan once quietly asked Gao Xiangqi, who said that he had never been up and didn't know what the attic was for.

After thinking about it for a while, You Jinlan stood up and walked to the attic. She had the rare opportunity to be home alone, and she really didn't want to sit still. At the end of the staircase, there is a closed door, and a combination lock is installed on the wall next to it.

You Jinlan carefully observed for a while and found that the combination lock was spotless. She smiled bitterly: Gao Jin's cleaner is really careful, and he won't even let go of this place.

What will Gao Jin use as a password? You Jinlan thought as she tried to press "0205", which was Gao Xiangqi's birthday.

The error report sound of "doo" sounded, startling You Jinlan.

β€œ0801。 "It's Gao Jin's birthday. You Jinlan typed and thought: It won't be that simple, right?

Sure enough, the error sound sounded again. She looked at it with her phone dejected, and it was exactly eleven o'clock.

Although Dai Tian repeatedly told You Jinlan not to contact him easily, but now, You Jinlan really had no other way, she hesitated again and again, and still sent an email to Dai Tian. The content is simple: "The two drawers of his desk are locked. There is a combination lock on the attic door. ”

After You Jinlan finished sending the email, she immediately emptied her outbox. She held her phone, stared at the screen, and muttered, "Reply, reply." ”

Perhaps sensing her anxiety, about a minute later, her phone made a loud beep.

You Jinlan panicked and opened the push.

"Try 0430. "It was sent by Dai Tian, and the content is only this one sentence.

"What does 0430 mean?" replied to You Jinlan. Then, with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, she typed in "0430".

Two short "drip" sounds, and then the door opened.

You Jinlan glanced at her phone dumbfounded, and Dai Tian did not reply to her email.

She mustered up her courage and walked inside.

The room was not big and there was nothing dusty. There is a small square table inside, but there are no chairs. On the wall are a glass double-door cabinet, a lazy sofa, and an old drawing board shelf.

You Jinlan opened the left drawer of the small table, which contained some postcards, a stamp collection book, and a small round plastic box. Curious, she opened the small plastic box and saw several rubber bands for tying her hair.

You Jinlan put down the small plastic box and flipped up the postcard. The postcards are very old, some of them can be postmarked, and they are between 1995 and 2002. The postcards are all signed by "Qi", and the recipient is a person named "Gao Zhi". Obviously, this "Qi" is closely related to "Gao Zhi", her handwriting is beautiful, and the small poems she writes are beautiful and fresh. You Jinlan guessed: This is a woman with a strong literary atmosphere.

However, who is Gao Zhi, and what is the relationship between Gao Zhi and Gao Jin? You Jinlan looked through the stack of postcards, but could not find an answer, so she had to put the postcards back in their original places.

In the drawer to the right of the small table, there were boxes of paint, as well as a few unwashed brushes. The tips of these brushes are as hard as stone.

You Jinlan looked at these things in confusion, she couldn't understand why Gao Jin locked them up. She walked to the front of the sketchpad shelf, froze for a moment, then returned to the cabinet and opened the glass door.

On the compartment of this cabinet, there are some cowhide envelopes. You Jinlan took out one casually, opened it and saw that it was a man's information. She scribbled through it and put it back again.

Other cowhide envelopes also contained information about different people. These people come from all walks of life: real estate businessmen, chengguan, funeral home staff, and even boxing coaches. You Jinlan quickly flipped through the envelopes, and suddenly found a creepy detail: these people had all passed away.

The earliest person to die, the date of death was March 1990. Since then, there have been deaths every year, with the highest number in 2002. You Jinlan counted 19 people who died in 2002.

On the top floor of the cabinet, there is also a stack of envelopes. Fortunately, You Jinlan's height is tall enough to reach this level. She reached out and took the stack of envelopes and counted them, exactly ten.

The first envelope contained no photographs, and it was the only one in the pile that did not have photographs. You Jinlan looked at it casually, "Mo Aogu, ?~February 2, 2011." Ethnicity: Ethnic Russian. Height: 1.92 meters. ”

This person's information is very small, as little as a piece of paper and a few lines of words.

You Jinlan quickly flipped through the remaining nine envelopes with interest. She found that of the 10 envelopes, only the first two died on February 2, 2011, the next seven died on February 9, 2011, and the last person, Shao Sui, died on March 10, 2011.

You Jinlan lowered her head and looked at the envelopes for a long time, she was already dizzy, she put the envelopes back in their places, and then glanced at her phone: It's twelve fifty.

You Jinlan guessed that this cabinet of "death files" must have a close relationship with Gao Jin, but she couldn't figure out the connection for a while, so she could only wait for the next time Dai Tian looked for her.

That's when she noticed the bean-green lazy couch. The sofa was clean, with an obvious depression in the middle, and it seemed that Gao Jin had sat on it for a long time.

You Jinlan walked over and sat down. She looked around the attic cottage, trying to make sure she was missing something. When she saw the wall to the left of the couch, she was stunned for a moment.

There was an old poster on the wall with colored tape, and You Jinlan identified it as "The Dream of the Covered Bridge". She hadn't seen the movie, but she had heard of it, and it seemed to be a touching romance.

"People like Gao Jin, do they like to watch love movies? Love action movies are pretty much the same. You Jinlan thought mockingly. She stared at the poster for a few seconds, and the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt: the position of the poster was not high, low or not, and it was very awkward. The colored stickers are only pasted on the top two corners of the poster, and there is no paste on the bottom, and Gao Jin doesn't seem to be afraid of it falling.

You Jinlan stretched out her hand, gently pinched the lower right corner of the poster, and then lifted it up - there was a rectangular hole in the wall that was smaller than the board, and inside was an iron box larger than an ordinary cigarette box.

You Jinlan's heart was pounding with excitement, she took out the iron box and carefully opened the lid.

Inside the box lay a few old photographs. Judging from the degree of wear and tear of the photo, Gao Jin has not looked through it less.

You Jinlan frowned and picked up a photo. The woman on it was very young, twenty years old at most, with playful and cute short hair, a square face, a high nose, and a pair of big bright eyes, but unfortunately a single eyelid. She smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, and a large mouth that almost cracked to the base of her ear.

You Jinlan was startled, she thought that Gao Jin had got the photo of her when she was young. But it soon dawned on her that it wasn't her.

"This woman looks so much like me at first glance. You Jinlan sighed in her heart. She had an impulse: "I really want to call my parents and ask if I have a sister who has been lost for a long time." ”

She flipped to the back of the photo and saw a line of small print: "For my favorite baby." Kee. ”

You Jinlan put down this photo and looked at the rest of the box, all of which belonged to this woman called "Qi". It is not difficult to see that this woman likes to travel, and her photos are taken in front of the Leshan Giant Buddha, in the rape fields of Wuyuan, and in Gulangyu. And in one of the photos taken in Ginkgo Village, the woman is painting in front of the drawing board, apparently sketching.

In fact, if you look closely, you can find that this "Qi" is not similar to You Jinlan, the two are just "god-like". Moreover, this kind of god seems to be based on You Jinlan's hair cut short and underwent a microplastic surgery.

You Jinlan put away the photo, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

Gao Jin is very good to her, and she can be regarded as meticulous. Whether in life or in bed, she has to admit that Gao Jin is a person who is very good at loving women. If you put aside Gao Jin's identity as a "murderer", he can almost be regarded as an ideal lover.

You Jinlan didn't want to compare Gao Jin with her husband, but as the time spent with Gao Jin increased, the sense of disparity in her heart became stronger and stronger. Sometimes, she even had a thought that made her feel ashamed: "It would be nice if I were really You Jinlan instead of Eugeneland." ”

However, this mysterious "Qi" shattered You Jinlan's fantasy. She always thought that Gao Jin had real feelings for her, until she saw the photo of "Qi", she understood that Gao Jin would be good to her, completely because she had a face that looked very similar to "Qi".

She is not Gao Jin's lover in the palm of her hand, she is just a shadow.

You Jinlan put the photo in the tin box, and then put the tin box back in its place. She closed the attic door and walked down the stairs with heavy steps.

"How can I be tempted by a man suspected of killing my daughter?"

The corners of her mouth twitched a few times, probably trying to laugh, but she didn't laugh.

You Jinlan returned to her and Gao Jin's bedroom. Looking at the large double bed, she suddenly had a sour nose, and then rushed into the bathroom. She locked the door and turned on the shower.

The sound of the water covered up her aggrieved crying, and also whitewashed her desire to cover up her heart: she was unwilling to be a mediocre and poor woman, unwilling to be a substitute for anyone, and unwilling to fall into the love web woven by her daughter's murderer.

She cried for a long time, until she felt exhausted, and then slowly stopped. She looked up, wiped the fog from the mirror, then looked at her eyes that were red and swollen like a pair of peaches in the mirror, and made up her mind.

She pulled out her phone and quickly typed in a set of numbers. Listening to the sound of "beep-toot" coming from the earpiece, her heart beat faster and faster.

"Hey. An elderly woman's voice came.

You Jinlan suppressed her excitement, "Mom, is Xiao Yi here, I want to talk to him." ”
