Chapter 16 The Study
After dinner, Lu Qiaoshui was lazy and pushed all the plates and dishes to Zhou Li, and chose the easy job of wiping the table.
Soon, after cleaning up, Lu Xiaoshui leaned back on the sofa and began to grab the remote control to change the channel.
It seems that I always feel a little absent-minded, idol dramas, tragic films or variety shows that other peers will be interested in have all been cut one by one, and in the end, the half-hearted Lu Xiaoshui still can't find a channel to watch.
Muttering something helplessly, she kicked off her shoes, curled up on the sofa, and watched "Deep Love x Mengmeng" on TV for more than ten years with sleepy eyes open, making strange noises in her throat like a lazy cat.
Boredom rolling on the sofa, Lu Xiaoshui finally lay on the cushion and made a sound: "Zhou Li." β
The friction of the dishes in the kitchen stopped, Zhou Li poked his head out, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" β
Lu Qianshui pouted and whispered, "It's so boring, I want to watch horror movies." β
"Nope."
As a result, it was rejected simply and decisively, and even Lu Xiaoshui himself said that it was expected.
The rubber band on the back of Lu Qiaoshui's head had long been removed by herself, and her black hair was draped down her shoulders and fluttered as her body shook boringly.
"But it's boring."
Zhou Li looked at him helplessly: "Then go to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow." β
"Don't! I want to watch a horror movie! Lu Qianshui raised his voice: "Horror movie! Horror films! β
Zhou Li sighed: "And then I was so scared that I couldn't sleep, curled up in the quilt in the middle of the night and shivered quietly?" β
"Only, no!" Lu Xiaoshui screamed in shame: "No! β
"Well, no." Zhou Li lowered his head to deal with the plate in hand, and said without looking back: "If you want to watch a movie, go get my notebook, I just copied the complete works of "Transformers" from a friend a few days ago. β
Lu Xiaoshui raised his head in surprise: "Is it okay?" β
"You know the boot code, the book is at the head of the bed."
Zhou Li paused and said in a non-negotiable tone: "But you should die, there are no horror movies." β
Lu Qiaoshui has a very bad problem - he likes to watch horror movies, but he is not very timid, and he often likes to scare himself.
Every time I was scared and couldn't sleep, I dragged my mother to sleep with me, and I don't know how many times my parents laughed at me.
Zhou Li didn't want to make any more trouble at this time, although Lu Qiaoshui's pitiful appearance was really cute or something......
"Well, I see."
Lu Xiaoshui didn't seem to mind, jumped off the sofa with a cheer, kicked his shoes and ran towards Zhou Li's room.
Turning his head to look at her cloaked appearance, Zhou Li couldn't help but raise his foamy hand and scratch the bridge of his nose: "Pay attention to the image, little ghost." β
Lu Wanshui didn't reply to his suggestion: "Cut." β
As a result, after Zhou Li cleaned everything up, it was almost half an hour later.
In the corridor, Zhou Li hesitated for a moment and gently knocked on Lu Qianshui's door.
Soon, Lu Qianshui's voice seemed to be in a good mood: "Come in~"
In the room, Lu Qiaoshui lay on the bed with wet hair, seriously and curiously flipping through Zhou Li's notebook, carefully looking for 'clues' folder by folder.
She seemed to have just been washed, wearing loose pajamas, and her white calves were exposed in the rolled up trousers.
The slender calves unconsciously cocked as she swayed, gently kicking the mattress.
Zhou Li looked at the computer screen beside her suspiciously: "What are you doing?" I remember the shortcut to the movie file was on the desktop. β
Lu Wanshui turned his head and said mysteriously: "I'm looking for something very strange." β
Zhou Li's eyebrows moved helplessly, and his fingers tapped on her skull: "Give up, although I don't know what you're looking for, I definitely can't find it." β
Lu Qiaoshui turned his head to look at him angrily: "Hmph, my heart is empty, there is definitely one!" β
Zhou Li shrugged helplessly, both in his expression and in his heart, he was calm as usual-he wouldn't tell this stupid girl that there is a thing in this world called a mobile hard drive......
With incomprehensible patience, Lu Xiaoshui had already gone through the 'Tools' folder, which took up most of the space on his hard drive, and seemed to have been dizzy by all kinds of files with strange names.
It is estimated that no fifteen-year-old girl would be interested in the super-naval battle of 1588 between the Spanish 'Armada' and the English 'Tudor Navy'.
After looking at the genealogy of the Russian royal family and the detailed examination, he was stunned by all kinds of awkward names, and simply turned it off decisively.
"It's boring." Lu Xiaoshui lay on the bed tiredly, and his palms still kept flipping through folders: "Why are they all such boring things." β
"Professional issues." Zhou Li shrugged helplessly: "You need to write a paper." β
Speaking of the paper, he remembered what Zhou Jian'an said to himself before leaving, and his expression couldn't help but sink.
With his back to him, Lu Wanshui didn't see his gloomy expression that flashed away, and said with some emotion: "Speaking of which, you are about to graduate from college." β
Zhou Li pursed his lips and rubbed Lu Wanshui's hair mischievously: "A little girl who has just entered high school should not worry about this kind of problem." β
Holding his hair that had been messed up again, Lu Qiaoshui glared at Zhou Li hatefully.
Wisely changed the topic, Zhou Li looked at the screen: "Say, what are you looking for?" β
Lu Wanshui turned his head and clicked on the 'photo' file, and asked depressedly with a scroll: "Why don't you have a photo of your girlfriend?" β
Zhou Li couldn't help laughing, and lowered his head helplessly: "Because there has never been." β
Glancing at Zhou Li, Lu Xiaoshui lay on the bed and said with a suspicious expression: "Nonsense, obviously there are so many girls' phone numbers in the mobile phone, and so many people send text messages on Valentine's Day." β
Zhou Li's face twitched helplessly, and he wanted to rub Lu Qiaoshui's hair again: "Don't turn over my phone." β
As if he knew Zhou Li's movements in advance, Lu Wanshui rolled over at the last moment with his head in his hands, dodging Zhou Li's clutches, and then there was a low 'bang'.
She fell to the ground......
As if he had knocked his head, Lu Xiaoshui carefully held his head and poked out his teary eyes from under the edge of the bed.
"Look, it's always so reckless."
Zhou Li looked at her cautious expression helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't beat you, I'm not a violent maniac." β
Holding his head, Lu Wanshui stood up cautiously: "You said it." β
Habitually, Zhou Li wanted to say, 'Did I lie to you?' It's a pity that he seems to have really deceived Lu Wanshui many times......
Gently rubbing the corners of her forehead, Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Can you give me the key to my uncle's study?" β
He paused and said, "I have something I'm looking for." β
"Huh?" Lu Wanshui turned his head to look at him suspiciously, nodded slightly, and didn't even ask him what he was looking for: "The key is on the table, you can just take it yourself." β
"Well, I'll give it back to you when I'm done."
Zhou Li was silent for a moment, picked up the key from the table, and turned his head to her with a grateful smile: "Go to bed early." β
Closing the door for her, Zhou Li moved silently in the dark corridor.
Turning his head to look at the family photo smiling happily in the dark, he clenched the key in his hand and whispered, "I'll find it, definitely." β
ββ
In this family, if there are any important documents or things that need to be kept, I am afraid that the only place that may exist is my uncle's study.
The Lu family is a scholarly heirloom, and the ancestors are said to have produced several masters, and the uncle himself studied at the "Pavlov Medical College" when Russia was still called "Soviet Union", not only made great achievements in academics, but also met his father there.
Although Zhou Li never understood why his uncle would be willing to open a small clinic to be a doctor after returning to China, and he was unwilling to go to other big hospitals, his uncle seemed to have been silent about it, so Zhou Li didn't know the specific reason.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it must have something to do with the cause of my uncle's death, right?
Since the Lu family is a scholarly heirloom, the collection of books left behind is naturally quite fruitful.
However, the study has always been the private domain of the uncle in the Lu family, and the cleaning and maintenance are all done by the uncle alone, and even Lu Qiaoshui and her mother have not entered it a few times.
Therefore, Zhou Li has always longed for the study, but he has never seen it.
And now that he finally held the key and stood in front of the door, he couldn't help but hold his breath, as if he felt a strange world beckoning to him behind the door, and he couldn't help but have a trace of fear and confusion.
Soon, he smiled self-deprecatingly, the key was inserted, spun, and the door opened with a muffled sound of a door.
Zhou Li fumbled for the switch of the light in the dark, and then couldn't help but hold his breath the moment the light appeared.
Although it is a scholarly family, it ......
Standing at the door, Zhou Li groaned helplessly: "This collection of books is too exaggerated, right?" β

The next morning, the sleepy Snake stopped the car in front of the airport and looked at Yao Huche, who was silently chewing pancakes in the back seat, with a puzzled expression.
Rubbing his cold face helplessly, Ah Snake asked helplessly: "Brother Tiger, I have been running all night last night, why did I come to the airport so early?" β
Thinking back to the disgusting wreckage of last night, Snake really didn't understand why his boss could eat so deliciously.
Yao Huche chewed his breakfast silently, ate the pancakes at hand very seriously, and he concisely picked up the sign next to him: "Pick up people." β
Jumping out of the car helplessly, A Snake shivered in the cold wind of the early morning, wrapped his coat tightly, and ran behind Yao Huche in small steps: "Who to pick up?" β
Yao Huche casually carried the huge pick-up card that was obviously out of specification on his shoulder, a thin coat blowing in the sea breeze, turned his head to Ah Snake and said, "That vampire hunter miss." β
Ah Snake was stunned for a moment before he understood who he was talking about, and his expression couldn't help but fall, with a bitter face like the end of the world: "Why did she come?" Did the Foundation acquiesce in our actions? β
Although in various ways, the eldest lady is indeed the most suitable candidate to search for the murderer at this moment, but ......
"Take it easy, Snake. Oni Cut has summoned Odin's dog, and we need new manpower. β
Yao Huche turned his head and said, "With a little more patience and measurement, you will find that she is actually a good girl." β
"I hope so."
With a bitter face, Snake raised his head and looked at the Russian handwriting on the registration card.
'Miskatonic University - Olivia Olbers'.
