The gaze behind him did not move until Lin Xigu's figure completely disappeared into the corridor.

I don't remember how long I stood in the same place, but Xu Yinuo was pulled back by a rapid phone ringing.

"Have you taken care of everything that should be dealt with? Xiao Xu, we are running out of time. The low male voice on the phone made Xu Yinuo frown.

One last glance at the balcony of the bright hall on the fourth floor, Xu Yinuo turned around, and said to the person on the phone while striding forward, "Okay, let's take action, everything I should deal with has been dealt with, but you have to promise me not to let the third person know about it, especially her, and help me protect her." ”

Under the moonlight, the thin figure standing on the balcony finally turned around, and for the last time, Lin Xigu said to herself, for the last time, from now on, there is only hatred and no love between her and Xu Yinuo.

It was three days after receiving Fang Shiqi's call again, and he asked Lin Xigu to stay in a restaurant, but unexpectedly the people who came were not only Fang Shiqi, but also his brother Fang Shijie.

"I heard that Miss Lin had something to say to me. As soon as Fang Shijie sat down, he went straight to the center of the topic.

Lin Xigu was slightly stunned, and later realized that he was referring to what she had said to Fang Shiqi that Fang Shijie would come to negotiate with her.

"Could it be Mr. Fang, do you have something to tell me? I thought you would have a lot of things that you would need my help with. Lin Xigu looked at that cold face, although he was really handsome, it was basically no different from a facial paralysis, why did Gu Yan fall in love with such a man.

Fang Shijie, who was sitting opposite, didn't care about Lin Xigu's inquiring gaze at all, but instead sat up straight and let her take a look.

"Miss Lin is really fast-talking, Fang is not wrong. ”

"Oh?" Lin Xigu raised his eyebrows in surprise, but his face turned cold in an instant, "It's a pity that I don't have a good impression of Mr. Fang." ”

"I'm a failure. "That's not what I said, my failure here is not a failure, Mr. Fang's biggest failure is in which person you should know better than me, right?" Lin Xigu saw this face and thought of Gu Yan who had been wronged in him, but some words still couldn't be said after all, and it wouldn't be good for anyone to tear his face.

Fang Shiqi was surprisingly atmospheric, and he didn't get angry, but his tone changed somewhat, "I can't imagine that Miss Lin still cares so much about other people's private lives, but I don't know how my feelings are handled?

Lin Xi Gu just wanted to talk back, but was preempted by Fang Shiqi, who suddenly spoke.

"Brother, aren't you going to have a meeting later? Tell us what needs to be said and let's go. ”

Fang Shijie raised his right wrist and glanced at it when he heard this, Lin Xigu almost dropped his jaw in surprise when he saw the watch in his hand, not that it was extravagant and luxurious, but because it was too shabby, yes, it was shabby, this man was standing up all over his body and couldn't find a trace of wrinkled suit, even if a hillbilly like Lin Xigu who had never studied the brand of clothes knew how much the Armani he was wearing was worth, but such a person was wearing a fruit watch that cost ten yuan a piece in the square, and anyone who saw it would feel strange。

"Miss Lin, I'm in a hurry, so to make a long story short, I do need your help, I have a safe left by your father here, but I haven't been able to open it after finding many masters of deciphering the code, so I hope you can take it home and study it. Fang Shijie saw that the time was indeed about the same, so he didn't talk nonsense with her anymore.

Although Lin Xigu was very puzzled in her heart why her father's things fell into his hands, she knew that Fang Shijie would not tell her even if she asked for a while, so she simply didn't ask, and sometimes it was a good tactic to wait and see.

"Do you want me to help you untie it?" Lin Xigu looked at a small safe that Fang Shiqi didn't know where to take out, it was really small, about the size of a jewelry box.

"It's not to help me, it's to help us, Miss Lin has forgotten that we are now a united front? This is something that your father risked his life to get, don't you want to know what is inside?" Fang Shijie reminded her of the current situation in a timely manner, he was really not very sure about Lin Xigu.

"Okay, I'll go back and try it, when do you want it?" Lin Xigu stretched out his hand and randomly entered a string of numbers on the combination lock, but unfortunately failed.

Fang Shijie also noticed her small movements, "Miss Lin, if it was so easy to open, I wouldn't have to ask you for help, I'm not in a hurry, when you open it, call my brother whenever you open it." ”

After Fang Shijie left, Lin Xigu tried to lose other passwords a few times, but each time he still failed.

"Don't try it, if it's really something important in broad daylight, I guess you'll be targeted by people with bad intentions. Fang Shiqi didn't know why he turned back again, and suddenly stood behind Lin Xigu, which really startled her.

"Then what does your brother mean by giving me this?" Steady the heartbeat that had just been disturbed by the fright, Lin Xi continued to try to decipher the code without raising his head.

Fang Shiqi pulled a chair and lowered his head to study with her, "Maybe he thinks there will be some important information in it, I seem to have heard him say that this safe was sent to him by a trainee prosecutor brought by your father at the beginning, and then that person disappeared, and my brother couldn't find his whereabouts no matter how he looked for it." ”

Intern? Lin Xigu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember which intern his father had taken, so he had to give up.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go home and study it slowly, I'm leaving, what about you?" Lin Xi stood up, raised his hand and patted the back of his somewhat stiff neck.

"I'll give it to you, I don't know what it is, if someone robs it, it's not good. Fang Shiqi mentioned, and the corner of his mouth naturally took the safe from Lin Xigu's hand.

Lin Xigu didn't know if he was joking or serious, but since there was a free driver, she was willing to spend a few dollars less.

After Fang Shiqi sent Lin Xigu home, he didn't even get off the car door and drove away directly, which was even more in line with Lin Xigu's intentions, she didn't plan to invite him to go up and sit down.

After dinner, Lin Xigu picked up the small safe again and began to study, the birthday of the family, the death date of her mother, and even the death date of a fish raised by the family before, she had tried it, but none of them were successful.

Lin Xigu studied for a long time, until late at night, and still had no clue, and finally he was so sleepy that he could only put it aside and wash and sleep by himself.

As soon as I woke up the next day, Lin Xigu didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she hugged the box and studied it again, Lin Donglai's house was not as big as Xu Yinuo's house, but the balcony was the best in the house that Lin Xigu had ever seen, spacious and bright, because the opposite side was the road, so there was no shelter, so except for the summer, she usually liked to hold a book or a computer and then lie comfortably on the balcony rattan chair, today is the same, the sun is about to enter the summer and the sun rises a little early, Lin Xigu sat on the balcony for a while It was already a little hot, and when he shifted his position, he inadvertently turned the safe upside down but found that there seemed to be something painted at the bottom of the box。

Lin Xigu was very surprised by this discovery, and quickly jumped off the rattan chair to look at it carefully in the sunlight, as if it was a painting, and she also found that she could only see clearly in the sun, so Lin Xigu simply opened the glass window to let the sunlight shine directly into the balcony.

"Isn't this the family I drew when I was in elementary school?" Lin Xigu muttered quietly after seeing the painting underneath, "But the password on it is only numbers, and it only needs five numbers." ”

If it is possible to use the numbers in English to sit one by one, then it is obviously beyond the scope of five numbers, but my father must have his intention to hide this painting so secretly.

The reason why Lin Xigu is so impressed by this painting is because her grades in the labor skills and beauty class have been very bad since she was a child, and other children can use colorful pens to sketch beautiful characters and scenery, but I don't know why she can't, this family is the only time in her life that she was named by the teacher to praise the good painting, so she still hasn't forgotten, the original manuscript of this painting is still there, but after moving out of her aunt's house, it was probably lost back and forth, and Lin Xigu has never seen it again.

After thinking about it for a morning, he still had no clue, Lin Xigu was also a little tired, thinking that he hadn't called Gu Yan for many days, and he didn't know how she was doing, so he took out his mobile phone and planned to send a text message to ask what she was doing.

As soon as he saw the pinyin on the text message editing interface that jumped out of the screen, Lin Xigu suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, if you follow the number corresponding to the letters on this pinyin input method, is everything easy to explain? Although I used to use the oldest kind of mobile phone with buttons, the order of the letters on it is still exactly the same, as for this family, Lin Xigu remembered that she would often forget the i in the middle at that time, and spell it as famly, so that it just corresponds to five numbers, if it is really just accidental, will it be too coincidental?

Thinking of this, Lin Xigu suddenly saw hope, no matter what the result was, he still tried it first.

Very primitive password lock, or the kind of gear that can be toggled by hand, Lin Xigu carefully entered the numbers on the mobile phone, "3-2-6-5-4-9" When Lin Xigu counted to the last "9", Lin Xigu almost subconsciously closed his eyes, success or failure in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, the heavens still favored her, and the moment Lin Xigu closed her eyes, she heard a "pop", a very crisp spring jumping sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in this house where she was alone.

Lin Xigu put the phone aside, knelt on the ground and opened the box, because the nervous movements were with a slight trembling, and finally lifted the lid completely, Lin Xigu saw that there was a small box inside, and the wooden one was also locked, but it was a very small padlock, she found a tool and pulled it a few times to open it.
