54. Old house

Zhou Yi involuntarily hugged her tighter: "Don't be afraid, with me, it will be fine." ”

"It's all my fault...... If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died...... I owe her my life......" Li Ruolin was incoherent, and Zhou Yi couldn't understand what she was talking about at all.

"It's not your fault, it's really not your fault." Han Haonan gently stroked Ruolin's hair and comforted: "You live for her, don't blame yourself anymore......"

Li Ruolin shook her head, her tears like a faucet that couldn't be turned off: "I hurt her...... I hurt her......"

Ruolin...... If it's too upset, don't continue. Zhou Yi's heart was picked up with Li Ruolin's mood.

"I ...... I do not know...... I don't want to keep it a secret from you. Li Ruolin hugged Zhou Yi tighter, as if this was the only way to alleviate the fear in her heart.

Han Haonan also advised her: "Don't force yourself, take your time." We can also find a psychiatrist to help you if you are willing to undergo treatment. ”

"I know, I know." Li Ruolin whispered, feeling extremely tired. "Han Haonan ......"

"I'm here."

"I can't hold it anymore, I'm so tired...... she closed her eyes, "you must help me tell Ah Yi what happened ten years ago." ”

"Yes, definitely."

Zhou Yi also felt Li Ruolin's tiredness, and said softly: "If you're tired, just sleep for a while, you haven't slept well in the past two days of filming." ”

"Hmm." Li Ruolin's voice became smaller and smaller, and ......she had already fallen asleep before she finished speaking.

The high-intensity work of the past few days and the continuous mental torture just now had already exhausted her, and Zhou Yi's reassuring aura around her made her tense nerves relax and quickly fall into a deep sleep.

"Let's go." Han Haonan saw that Li Ruolin was asleep, so he took Zhou Yi to the old house according to Li Ruolin's request.

"Where to go?"

"Go and see where she lived when she was a kid."

Previously, Han Haonan was reluctant to tell Zhou Nei the situation because he had always thought that this matter was Li Ruolin's secret. He just happened to see a part of the secret, and as a friend, he was obligated to keep it for her. Without Li Ruolin's authorization, he would never have replaced her and helped her tell this secret.

He knew very well that Li Ruolin was the only eyewitness in the Zhao family's murder case, and she played a vital role in catching the murderer. But he can't touch his own bottom line, and he can't go beyond his bounds to complete this experience for Li Ruolin. Although this is very unfair to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi will encounter more difficulties in the process of investigating the case, Han Haonan still insists on his principle of protecting Li Ruolin.

Han Haonan's principles are not necessarily beneficial to social stability, but they are the best care for Li Ruolin. Only when Li Ruolin is willing to face this wound will he help her pick up the mirror and present the wound in front of her.

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Ruolin." Han Haonan said to Zhou Yi without looking back as he walked: "Don't forget that we are still rivals in love. ”

After driving for two hours, Han Haonan took Zhou Yi and Li Ruolin to an old villa area in City C. Most of the people who live here are billionaires, so the community has a beautiful environment and advanced facilities. After registering their identity at the entrance of the complex, the security guards allowed them in.

Han Haonan took Zhou to a beautifully decorated villa, not to mention that there are many golden and splendid, but it can be seen that the furniture and decoration materials are expensive, and it looks luxurious everywhere.

"This is the house where Ruolin lived when she was a child. I was living next door to her house. ”

Zhou Yi looked at the house that had been idle for ten years, except for a musty smell, no dust had fallen anywhere else, and it seemed that someone had been cleaning it for a long time. Han Haonan took Zhou Lai to the second floor and carried Li Ruolin into her own room. The room was still the same as it was a decade agoβ€”orange sheets, pink mosquito nets, and a bed full of Barbie dolls and some Muppet bears. The floor is littered with Lego bricks, and half of the princess's castle has been accidentally destroyed.

Closing the bedroom door, Han Haonan took Zhou Yi to the door downstairs, and Zhou asked him to watch casually in the villa, while Han Haonan sat on the sofa in the living room and swiped Weibo.

The villa has four floors, and the living room on the ground floor is two stories high, and the huge crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling still shine brightly, casting colorful light throughout the living room.

Across the living room is a spacious dining room, where the mahogany Western-style dining table still exudes a hint of luster that has been used all year round. Zhou Yi gently stroked one of the chairs, thinking, is this where Li Ruolin has lived since she was a child? They should eat together as a family often! This mahogany table is to be raised by popularity!

Further inside is the kitchen. Walk through the kitchen and you'll find yourself in the back garden. The back garden has been overgrown with weeds because it has not been taken care of for many years.

Zhou Yi did not go into the garden, but turned around and walked upstairs. On the first floor of the second floor, except for Li Ruolin's bedroom, the rest of the space is used to store books, the collection of books is equivalent to a small library, and most of the ancient books are hidden in it, it seems that the owner of this house is very fond of ancient books.

Contrary to the whole study, there is a row of models of cars in the most conspicuous place in the study. The models of these cars were popular more than a decade ago, and apparently the owner of the house has not collected any models of cars in the last decade.

Zhou Yi continued to walk forward and found a row of movable bookshelves, he carefully removed the row of bookshelves, and a photo wall came into view.

There is a huge family portrait hanging in the middle of the wall, standing in the middle is Zhao Feng, the owner of the house, and the woman holding his hand next to him is Lin Mei. These two people have seen photos in the archives so that they are not unrecognizable, and the two little girls who look exactly the same next to them are wearing princess dresses and smiling innocently.

At that moment, Zhou Yi felt a buzzing in his brain. He never imagined that the answer he had been asking so easily would be hung on this wall. Photographs of two identical little girls, from birth to twelve, hang on the wall, and their lives seem to come to an abrupt end at the age of twelve.

Zhao Fengsheng is basically twins, and the "only daughter" who was murdered ten years ago is only one of the two children, and the other child who survived has to be incognito! Or that the other child has been incognito since birth, not knowing who his biological parents are.

What kind of thoughtful person is Zhao Feng? If Han Haonan hadn't brought him here, how long would this secret have been hidden?

Zhou Yi didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and his brows tightened when he came out of the study.

Han Haonan came up from downstairs and saw Zhou Yi's solemn expression, thinking that he had already seen those photos in the study.

"You already knew?" Zhou Yi asked Han Haonan.

"I always knew that. But this has always been a knot in her heart, and I hope she can untie it herself. Now that you know it, don't embarrass her anymore. ”

He clenched his fist and slammed it against the marble railing, and blood immediately oozed from the joints of his fists, staining the white marble red.

Han Haonan sighed: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I only know a rough idea of what happened ten years ago, and I don't know what the specific situation is." If you really love her, you should help her get out of her nightmare. ”

"Do you know how much of an impact these things you are hiding will have?"

"Of course I do. From the moment I decided to protect her, I had expected the worst. Han Haonan smiled slyly, "Fortunately, we can know you." Otherwise, I would have been in jail if I did what hackers did on the Internet, and I didn't report it for so long. ”

"You're so sure I don't dare, so what about you?"

"I can't guarantee your thoughts, I only know that with my friendship with Ruolin for so many years, she won't want to see me imprisoned."

"Our accounts will be settled slowly in the future."

"That's right. If you don't mind, come and sit at my house. Han Haonan sent an invitation to Zhou Yi.

Han Haonan's house has also been idle for many years, and the family has moved out since a neighbor's murder ten years ago. After many years, when Han Haonan stood on the balcony again and looked at the balcony of the neighbor's house, his thoughts unconsciously drifted back to his childhood.

At that time, Han Haonan had just grown to the same height as the railing of the balcony, and he could only stand between the cracks of the railing, watching the little girl in a princess dress in the courtyard next door running around under the fountain, catching butterflies, teasing puppies, and playing with mud...... It wasn't until the clean skirt was dirty that the adults called home. The next day, I was playing in the yard in a different princess dress, as if there was endless fun in that small world.

Every weekend, there will be a girl who is about the same age as the little girl to play with her, from the point of view of the body, the two are almost the same, but the other little girl is dressed very plainly, no princess dress or small leather shoes, there is no bow on the head, and some are just a white-washed sweatshirt. However, this does not affect the relationship between the two little girls at all, they are inseparable like glue, and they can't wait to stick together from morning to night. Han Haonan secretly called the little girl in the princess dress as a white swan, and the little girl in the sweatshirt as an ugly duckling.

The white swans are very generous, they always share good things with the ugly ducklings, they often play dress-up games, two people change clothes, switch roles, make the adults laugh, and then the two of them hug each other and giggle.

Xiao Han Haonan wanted to play with them, but because he was weak and sick since he was a child, his parents did not allow him to go out at all, and all his study homework was taught by private teachers. He could only call out to the girl opposite from the balcony at three o'clock every afternoon at three o'clock in the afternoon, while the nanny was out to buy groceries, and wave vigorously at her.

She heard him cry and waved vigorously at him.

"What's your name?" The little boy shouted from the balcony.

"My name is Ruozhi, Zhao Ruozhi!" She replied with a smile, and suddenly the sun seemed to shine many times brighter, "What's your name?" ”
