Reason told Yao Jingjing that she couldn't do anything that angered Sergei, it wouldn't do her any good. She should have stayed in this villa in peace, and Sergei was the only one who obeyed. That's the right path she's on. However, despite this, everyone has curiosity, and once a person opens Pandora's box, he can't control himself.

For a few days, Yao Jingjing's whole person was like an ant on a hot pot, she wanted to go to the forbidden place to find out, but she threw a mouse bogey, and wanted to ask Sergei in person what was going on in that room, but she couldn't ask, for fear of upsetting Sergei, she was not qualified to speak unscrupulously in front of Sergei.

After all, curiosity defeated reason, and that morning, while Sergei left the manor, Yao Jingjing still secretly went to the third floor. Standing in front of that room, staring at the rusty lock, Yao Jingjing hesitated for a moment, and finally made a move.

This lock was really as Vera described, and it opened with a pull, and Yao Jingjing pushed open the door with bated breath and walked in.

I thought I would see some terrible scenes, Yao Jingjing was mentally prepared, but in fact this is a very ordinary room, except for a TV, there is no furniture, not even tables and chairs, the walls of the room, the ground is full of oil paintings, look carefully at these oil paintings, there is no actual image, I can't see what is being painted, the painting style is abstract. Yao Jingjing doesn't know how to paint, she can't understand what meaning is behind these paintings, but the colors of these oil paintings are dark, mostly black, white and gray, and the combination of this color gives people a depressing feeling, which makes people feel uncomfortable after watching it for a long time.

I don't know if it's the stimulation of this color or the psychological effect, Yao Jingjing suddenly has a headache. What's going on? Why did I suddenly have a headache. Who painted these paintings? What is he trying to express?

At this time, Yao Jingjing caught a glimpse of something like a book on the TV, she walked over and picked it up, it turned out to be a photo album. This is full of photos of Sergei and Ivanova when they were young, Sergei when he was young has not yet closed his head, his hair is quite thick, his face is also very thin, although he is not very handsome, but he is also radiant, and Ivanova is smiling like a flower, and her already beautiful face is a little more charming.

Looking at such a graceful Ivanova, Yao Jingjing's heart couldn't help but rise a trace of inferiority, they are both Sergei's wives, but how can she compare with others, they are fairies in the sky, and she is a mountain village woman on the ground. If she were a man, she would also be obsessed with Ivanova.

Unconsciously turned a few pages, and found that the style of painting suddenly changed, and there was no longer Sergei in the photo, leaving only Ivanova, who had reached middle age, and Ivanova no longer had a smile on her face, replaced by a trace of grievance between her eyebrows.

Yao Jingjing was a little surprised, what happened to Ivanova when she reached middle age? Why don't you look happy, but a little sad! Until turning to the last page, Yao Jingjing didn't find the answer, of course, a photo album can only record the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the parties, not personal experiences.

In the evening, Yao Jingjing sat by the window of her room, looking at the red sunset outside the window, and fell into deep thought. She was thinking about Ivanova, what this woman had experienced before her death, why she looked so sad, and this sadness seemed to go deep into the bone marrow, which made Yao Jingjing feel distressed. She was desperate to get to know Ivanova and wanted to know what she had experienced during her lifetime.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, interrupting Yao Jingjing's thoughts.

"Please come in."

Vera, the butler, walked in with dinner and placed the food on the table.

"Ma'am, this is your dinner."

"Oh, by the way, is Sergey back?"

"Not yet, according to the boss's habit, I guess I'll be back later."

Yao Jingjing nodded, paused, and asked, "Vera, that, Sergei's ex-wife, is Lilia, does she like to draw very much?" Yao Jingjing guessed that the oil paintings in the forbidden place should all be made by Ivanova.

Hearing Yao Jingjing's question, Vera instantly guessed that Yao Jingjing had already been to that forbidden place, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she replied: "Yes, the former lady loves painting, especially oil painting. ”

Vera's words strengthened Yao Jingjing's speculation.

"Vera, I remember once you mentioned that Lilia died of illness, what was she sick for?"

"I don't know exactly what the disease is. Anyway, in the last few years of his wife's life, she has been in a trance and often quarrels with the boss, who is afraid that she will go out and cause trouble, so she is not allowed to go out. ”

"Do you still remember the day she died?"

Vera thought for a while and said, "On the day the former lady died, the boss was the first to find out, and the boss said that the lady died of illness. ”

"Didn't you go to the hospital?"

"Nope."

"Okay, I see, you can get out."

After Vera left, Yao Jingjing began to ponder again. She felt that something was wrong, the scene when Ivanova died, no one saw it, and the news of her death was also released by Sergei, and she was not sent to the hospital for rescue, if she was sent to the hospital at that time, maybe there was still a possibility of rescue.

Maybe it's because I've watched too many movies, and a bold and terrifying thought popped up in Yao Jingjing's heart: Could Ivanova's death be related to Sergei? Thinking of this, Yao Jingjing only felt a cool breath rush up from the soles of her feet, making her shudder.

Would Sergei kill his own wife with his own hands? After all, he gave birth to three children! Will Sergey be so vicious?

The doubts in Yao Jingjing's heart became bigger and bigger, and at the same time, she was a little more afraid of Sergei.

At night, Sergei fell asleep with Yao Jingjing in his arms, but Yao Jingjing still had difficulty sleeping, and today Sergei's arms made her not feel warm, but a little cold. She had to admit that she was a little scared of Sergei, could this man be what she had guessed? If so, what is she going to do? Will she follow in Ivanova's footsteps? Oh my God, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, it was terrifying.

For a few days, Yao Jingjing's spirit was a little trance-like, and she seemed to be under tremendous psychological pressure. She wanted to tell herself that maybe she was thinking about it, and there was no homicide at all, but her thoughts couldn't stop like a high-speed machine, and she even made up all kinds of scenes of Ivanova being killed by Sergei, and the more she thought about it, the more dangerous it became, and the more terrifying she thought about it. She couldn't believe how disgusting it would be if she really married a murderer and shared a bed with him every day!
