The three joint defense members led the way in front, and after turning around, they soon reached No. 138.

It is a bungalow with a small courtyard, the walls are made of red bricks without any treatment, and the door is made of two wooden planks together, which looks shabby.

But it was better to have a yard, which was not large, about twenty or thirty square meters, with a sink for washing clothes, and a small dirt floor on which some vegetables were grown.

Qin Yajuan has never suffered financially, and it must be sad to rent in such a dilapidated house now, but even so, she has to choose a house with a small courtyard, which shows that she still has that arrogance in her heart.

It is probably this arrogance that makes the vulgar Zhou Da always look at her from a distance, even if she is nominally with Zhou Da.

Zhou Da is not worthy, presumably Zhou Da himself knows, so he has been working hard to make money, thinking that if he makes money, he will be able to face Qin Yajuan.

But what Qin Yajuan was thinking, Zhou Da didn't know, not even Gu Yun.

There is a small iron gate in the courtyard, but it is only hooked with wire, and it can be opened easily.

"That's it?" One of the joint defense team members asked.

"Yes." Gu Yun said, "Three brothers, I have a request, after a while, you will say that the joint defense team will check her identity, don't say that there are friends who come to see her, otherwise she will not open the door." ”

"It's two o'clock in the morning to check your identity, it's unreasonable, right?"

"It's unreasonable, but it's a lifesaver! She is likely to hide inside and want to kill herself, if she can't stop it in time, her body may be cold tomorrow! ”

Gu Laogou said conclusively, the anxiety in his eyes was burning as if he had provoked a fire, which was very real.

The joint defense team led by him went from refusing to hesitating.

"Captain, your identity has been found." At this time, a team member next to her said, "Her name is Qin Yajuan, and she started living here half a month ago." ”

The captain of the joint defense team took the mobile phone and looked at it, then frowned, "It's been half a month, why haven't you seen it once?" ”

"Here's the problem, she's severely depressed now, and no one wants to see her!" Gu Yun hurriedly added, "That's why we rushed over!" ”

"Okay, let's try."

After the captain finished speaking, he decisively pulled away the wire, walked into the courtyard through the iron gate, and then walked to the wooden door of the bungalow and began to knock.

"Ms. Qin, are you at home?"

Even after shouting several times, there was not the slightest movement in the dark room.

"Ms. Qin, don't be afraid, we are a joint defense team, to check the identity of the residents, can you open the door?"

At this time, there was a sudden "snap" sound in the house, which should be that the people in the house accidentally touched something in the dark and fell to the ground.

Perhaps feeling that there was no way to pretend that he was not at home anymore, a voice finally came from the house.

"W-What joint defense team, it's so late, tomorrow!"

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was Qin Yajuan's voice.

It's just that her voice seems to be a little old.

Probably panic and anxiety, right?

I have to say that the captain is a very responsible captain, which is very in line with the characteristics of the Chaoyang masses.

After thinking about it, he said, "Otherwise, if you don't feel at ease, open the curtains, and let me see your face and ID card through the window, okay?" ”

Qin Yajuan inside hesitated, and finally said, "Okay, you guys come to the window." ”

Gu Yun couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the captain, and then followed them to the window.

After a while, the red curtain gradually opened, pulling out about thirty centimeters wide.

With the flashlight light of the joint defense team, Gu Yun finally saw Qin Yajuan's face suddenly.

But Deng Shi was shocked.

I saw that Qin Yajuan, who was still charming a few months ago, looked old at the moment, and her facial skin, which was usually well maintained, was now loose and slightly collapsed, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were even more obvious, and at first glance she looked like a peasant woman in her fifties.

More than ten years old!

Gu Laogou admits that he has seen countless people who have aged overnight due to sadness, fear or stress, but he has never seen someone who can age like this in just a few months.

He finally understood now why Qin Yajuan had been refusing to see Lin Ruoyin.

What happened to Qin Yajuan?

The bright light of the flashlight pierced Qin Yajuan's eyes, she squinted her eyes, held up an ID card with difficulty, and said to outsiders, "This, my ID card." ”

The captain of the joint defense team took a look at it and said in surprise, "Hey, why is there so much age difference?" ”

Qin Yajuan's face immediately showed a trace of panic, and a trace of embarrassment, and she trembled for a long time before she said, "I, I grow old fast, I grow old fast......

The tone was pale and weak, like a dying man, which made people unbearable to listen to it anymore, and the captain of the joint defense team couldn't help but want to slap his mouth, how could he talk like this?

Gu Yun's heart is also slightly turbulent, Qin Yajuan has been proud of her beauty all her life, after being abandoned by her husband, maybe this is her last pride, but now it is gone, how can she not be like ashes?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shout, "Aunt Qin, it's me, Gu Yun." ”

When Qin Yajuan heard this, she seemed to be stimulated by something, and hurriedly closed the window, and then disappeared as if she was silent.

"Aunt Qin, don't be afraid!" Gu Yun tried to comfort, "Lin Ruoyin didn't come. Tell me something, maybe I can help. ”

After a long time, Qin Yajuan's voice finally came from the house.

"You recognized the wrong person, I'm not your Aunt Qin."

"Aunt Qin, I've seen your ID card. Will you open the door first? If you don't open the door, I will sit at your door until dawn, and then ......" Gu Yun paused, and had to threaten, "Lin Ruoyin will definitely find it then!" ”

Gu Yun was really worried that Qin Yajuan would find a short-term view now, and he made up his mind that if Qin Yajuan really didn't open the door, he would have to go in even if he kicked the door.

"Little luck!" Qin Yajuan finally recognized it, choked up, and said, "Auntie is fine, you tell Ruoyin, just say that Auntie will go back after a while, you promise Auntie, is it okay for Auntie to beg you?" ”

"Aunt Qin!" Gu Yun patted the window, thought about it, and pretended to be angry, "I can bring it, but are you too selfish like this?" Lin Ruoyin was abandoned by her father since she was a child, and now she doesn't even want to see her mother, she is only 18 years old, what kind of mentality do you want her to accept all this? ”

"I don't know what's going on between you and Uncle Lin, but do you two have to join forces to destroy Lin Ruoyin? What was wrong with her? Are there any parents like you? ”

"You never knew how hard she was trying to live, and she just wanted to live like a normal child, and you wouldn't even want to give it to her?"

"Just because you look old? Not to mention that the whole thing is easy now, even if it is really too old to be presentable, so what? Who in this world doesn't get old? ”

Gu Laogou finished speaking in one breath, and then waited for Qin Yajuan to reply.

He knew that the only thing Qin Yajuan could still remember in his heart was Lin Ruoyin, so he could only use Lin Ruoyin to poke Qin Yajuan's heart.

As for the last sentence, it is the life-saving straw that strengthens Qin Yajuan's heart - there is no doubt that Qin Yajuan must have thought about plastic surgery since she got old, Gu Yun deliberately affirmed this, which made Qin Yajuan feel more and more that this plan was feasible, so as to rekindle her fighting spirit.

This is a common negotiation technique used to neutralize confrontation by hinting at hope, and the detectives often use this tactic against desperate murderers.

Qin Yajuan didn't reply for a long time, Gu Yun knew that she was hesitating, so it wasn't far from her opening the door.

So he said, "Aunt Qin, if you open the door now, you can tell me anything you want, and when the time comes, we can discuss whether to let Lin Ruoyin come over." But if you don't open the door, Lin Ruoyin will definitely come here, you know her temper, if you don't open the door, she won't leave, won't it be more difficult for you when the time comes? ”

What this means is that there is room for maneuver when the door is opened, and there is no room for maneuver if the door is not opened, and it is also the usual method of the old criminal police to break through the defense line in the hearts of criminals, which some people summarize as the "prisoner's dilemma".

Gu Yun didn't believe that Qin Yajuan, a weak woman, could not eat this set.

It was a stalemate for a long time.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, the door opened.

Gu Lao Gou was as steady as an old dog, and after opening the door, he dodged into the house, and after making sure that the house was empty and there were no anesthetic needles in ambush, he said to the three joint defense team members, "Three brothers, thank you!" Go back and rest. ”

The three of them saw that the door was open, and they did their duty, so they comforted Qin Yajuan a few more words and left.

Gu Yun closed the door and walked into the back room with Qin Yajuan.

Looking closely under the lamp, Qin Yajuan is indeed old for at least one round.

This was by no means caused by depression or melancholy, Gu Yun had a hunch that she seemed to have encountered some kind of event that was difficult to imagine.

Qin Yajuan sat on a simple small bed in the room, and without waiting for Gu Yun to speak, "Do you want to ask Auntie how she became like this, right?" ”

"If Auntie wants to say, then I'm willing to listen."

Qin Yajuan sighed expressionlessly, "If you say it, you may not believe it." ”

Gu Yun knew that people must have the desire to talk at this time, and he also wanted to know what Qin Yajuan had experienced, so he said, "I believe that there are still many secrets in this world that we don't know, so I believe everything you say." ”

Qin Yajuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly, "I went to a place, that place can devour people's vitality, I only stayed there for three minutes, and then I grew old like this, do you believe it?" ”

Gu Yun was slightly startled after hearing this, and countless thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind.

Swallowed...... Life?

Shocked in his heart, he asked, "What is that place?" ”

"I can't tell you." A trace of palpitation flashed in Qin Yajuan's eyes, "No one can go there, whoever goes will be like me." ”

"But, Auntie, why did you go there?"

"Me?" Qin Yajuan wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said with a little uncontrollable emotion, "It's all Lin Jianguo's bastard!" He wants to live forever and study those broken things all day long! After he ran away with the goblin, he left a map at home, and I went there when I went back to my hometown three months ago and found it, so I couldn't help but be curious...... It's all that bastard! ”

Gu Yun suddenly realized.

It turned out that Lin Ruoyin's father disappeared to find the secret of immortality?

But is there really such a thing in this world?

Gu Laogou has been reincarnated for eternity, and he has heard countless legends of immortality, but he has never witnessed it with his own eyes, even those shocking warlock gods he has seen, and no one has ever told him for sure that such a thing exists.

But Qin Yajuan can't lie, and her sudden aging can't be fake.

So conversely, since there is a place that can devour people's vitality, does it mean that there is also a place where life can be released and people can live forever?

This is in line with the law of conservation of energy.

What the hell is wrong with the world?

First something in a dream suddenly appeared in reality, and then such a strange place appeared?

And, all this happens around you?

Although he wasn't sure if this matter had anything to do with him, Gu Laogou vaguely felt that it might be related to him.

Even, that place may have something to do with itself.

Cause?

Because he himself is the irrational existence of this world, and only the unreasonable and the other unreasonable can have a reasonable relationship, right?

Why did that "guide" insist on coming to Qin Yajuan by himself?

He must have known that he had some connection to it.

Maybe it was from that unreasonable place that they deduced their unreasonable existence?

The more Gu Yun thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, and a picture scroll slowly unfolded in front of him, and he seemed to know where the direction was.

"Aunt Qin, I want you to tell me what kind of place it is." Gu Yun asked tentatively.

Qin Yajuan shook her head and said extremely firmly, "I won't tell you." You young people are curious, and you might want to check it out...... It's not really a place for people to go. ”

Qin Yajuan was still expressionless, but the fear in her eyes was very real, maybe she didn't want to reproduce that kind of picture, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again.

Gu Yun knew that Qin Yajuan didn't plan to say it, so she wouldn't say it no matter how she asked, so she had to give up.

It's just that he believes that there must be more than Qin Yajuan who knows this secret, such as Cheng Yu, who is likely to know.

"If you don't say it, don't say it." Gu Yun paused, and then said, "But Aunt Qin, since things are already like this, then it's not a way for you to hide." Lin Ruoyin is very worried about you, you can go back with me. ”

"I look like this...... I'm afraid I'll scare her. ”

"If you don't show up, Lin Ruoyin will be scared. I think you are seven or eight years old, although it is a little faster, but it is reasonable to say that your business has lost money and is in a hurry. ”

"I ...... Do you look only seven or eight years old? Qin Yajuan's godless eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light.

Gu Laogou wiped honey with his mouth full of honey and chuckled, "Aunt Qin, you don't think you're really old, do you?" I'm a lot older than you used to be, but now I look like I'm in my forties at most, didn't you look in the mirror before? ”

"I, I'm looking in the mirror, how do I think I look like an aunt in my fifties or sixties?"

Gu Yun put on a surprised posture, "What, I think you're stupid by yourself!" Fifty or sixty-year-old aunts have swimming rings, and everything is sagging if it's ugly, do you see you have it? ”

Qin Yajuan hurriedly looked at her stomach and chest, and then finally showed a smile on her face, "Yes, I don't have a swimming ring, my chest is ...... That's like ...... OK. ”

"That's it, you're just too far behind, and you're scared, so naturally you're exaggerating." Gu Laogou continued to flicker, "But to be honest, you were indeed a lot younger than their peers before, but unfortunately now you are basically on par with them!" ”

This "truth", in the ears of Qin Yajuan now, sounds like a supreme compliment.

Being able to be like her peers has long been satisfying for her.

"Really, really?" Qin Yajuan was skeptical, "But that person just said ......"

"Isn't this clear, the photo on your ID card is young, isn't there a gap between him and him?" Gu Yun said, put the phone in front of Qin Yajuan, and said, "Auntie, I'll make a bet with you, if I put the phone here with you now, I can't collude with Lin Ruoyin, right?" You see how Lin Ruoyin will react when she sees you? If she jumps up and says you're old, I'll eat upside down...... Grape. ”

"This ......"

"What else is this, get dressed and let's go and witness it!"

Coaxing women, he Gu Lao Dog has never missed!

Coax old women, and even more!
