Neverland

Chapter 61 Looking Home

According to the estimated distance given by the navigation, the left bank Tinglan Community is only 20 minutes away from the nursing home by car.

As a law-abiding and good young man, Xu Muzhou was frantically probing on the verge of breaking the law for the first time, and he looked at the traffic policemen all the way with guilty conscience.

Fortunately, there was no check for drunk driving early in the morning on a weekday. Xu Muzhou twisted through several small roads to avoid the main road, and finally took half an hour to reach Tinglan on the left bank.

This is a high-end apartment complex located in the city center. There are not many buildings, but they are all high-rise buildings. They are probably newly developed. It seems that the environmental facilities are very new.

"Yan Chenghong"'s car is a foreign vehicle for the community, and the security guards refused to let it go, insisting that they contact the owner to register the information of the foreigner.Xu Muzhou had no choice but to lie that he was a friend of the owner and look at the house for him while he was hospitalized.

Fortunately, Yan Cen Shunlai's keychain contained the community's key card and elevator card, and the security guards checked it before letting him go with suspicion.

Xu Muzhou parked the car in the open-air parking lot for foreign vehicles, and followed Yan Cen into the community.The building where Ji Yun lives is on the inner side of the community, which is quite a quiet area.

"But having said that, Ji Yun is very rich." Before entering the elevator, Xu Muzhou picked out a real estate promotion leaflet from the public mailbox next to him, and casually flipped through the floor plans inside: "See, this location Let’s say more than 60 yuan for a set of houses.”

Yan Cen glanced at the gaudy promotional page and asked, "Really?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Muzhou said, "Ji Yun is so big...Brother Yan, do you know what 60 means to a student who has just graduated?"

Yan Cen looked sideways at him, from his expression, Xu Muzhou felt that maybe he really had no idea.

"Let's put it this way." Xu Muzhou said: "If she doesn't have help from her family, it would be almost impossible for her to save this by herself."

"So, in fact, this is also a suspicious point?" Yan Cen said.

Xu Muzhou was taken aback for a moment: "Ah... yes, that's sort of it."

Ji Yun's residence is on the ninth floor, which is an intermediate floor. This new type of residential building is somewhat different from the old-fashioned building. There are only two households on each floor, and the doorway is right from the elevator.Xu Muzhou paid attention before Yan Cen opened the door, and found that the house on the other side of Ji Yun probably hadn't been sold yet, and the blue protective film on the anti-theft door was still intact.

The bunch of keys that Yan Cen sent were long and short, and there were quite a few of them. Xu Muzhou originally thought that Yan Cen would try them one by one, but unexpectedly, he just stood at the door and looked at the lock cylinder. Picked out an ordinary one and stuffed it into the lock cylinder.

Yan Cen held the key slightly harder, and the door lock clicked softly, and a small gap was opened in the thick anti-theft door.

"Be careful." Yan Cen opened the door and confirmed that the room was quiet and there was no one else before turning around and telling him, "It's best not to leave any indelible traces."

When Xu Muzhou entered the door, he still felt guilty of entering the room for no reason, so he nodded after hearing the words: "Okay."

Unlike that kind of loft-style apartment, Ji Yun's home is closer to a flat-floor design. Xu Muzhou roughly counted it and found that it was a three-bedroom apartment.

On the whole, this is a very square apartment. The entrance is connected to the living room, and a large semi-open-air balcony is connected to the outside. There is a one-meter-high flower stand on one side of the balcony. There are a few pots of succulents on it because no one has been there for too long. Take care, it's dead.

The decoration of the whole house is very good, and the home theater also uses the latest home appliances. Ji Yun even opened up a small reading and leisure area in the corner of the living room, with a lazy sofa and a small knee-high bookshelf, next to the dolphin The pin head of the small desk lamp fell on the floor, and there was no power supply.

In addition, there is a swing-style hanging chair on the balcony. It can be seen that Ji Yun is a person who enjoys life very much.

Yan Cen's search target was very clear. He walked towards the living room almost in a straight line, took out several grounded cabinets in the living room and looked at them one by one, then turned back and went into the kitchen, not knowing what he was looking for.

Xu Muzhou decided to split up with him, walked over on tiptoe and opened several closed doors one by one, took a look inside.The sun room on the right hand side of the entrance is the master bedroom, with all bedding and pillows neatly spread on the bed, and one of the two rooms on the left hand side is the guest bedroom, with a light gray dust cover on the bed.

The other room is the study room. It can be seen that Ji Yun likes this area very much. The decoration is very meticulous. A tree-shaped artistic floor lamp is placed in the corner, the desk faces the door, and two wall-high lamps are placed on the left and right sides of the chair. A dark bookshelf, already full of one.

The other bookshelf is more than half empty, only some odds and ends are placed, and there is a half-read geography magazine on the desk.

"The decoration is very new." Xu Muzhou stepped forward to touch the desk, and found that a thin layer of dust had stuck to it, and asked strangely: "Ji Yun is hospitalized, and his parents didn't come to help clean up the house? of?"

"This is a new home, no one has ever lived in it." Yan Cen walked out of the kitchen at some point, he patted the ashes on his hands, and said firmly: "There is no trace of life."

"Huh?" Xu Muzhou disagreed a little. He pointed to the geographic magazine on the desk and said, "Although the house looks neat, the soft furnishings are perfect. Whether it's the leisure area outside or the study room, it's all It is obviously arranged according to the owner's preferences, if no one has ever lived in it, it is difficult to have this effect."

"The remote control in the TV cabinet is still covered with a plastic seal. I opened it and checked, but there is no battery inside." Yan Cen leaned against the door of the study and calmly expressed his opinion: "The plastic on the plug of the kettle in the kitchen The protective case has not been taken off, and there is no trace of any connection to the power supply."

This is not quite right, Xu Muzhou also frowned.

Even if Ji Yun doesn't know how to cook and orders takeaway for three meals a day, at least as long as he lives at home, he will inevitably boil water with water, and it is unlikely that everything is brand new.

"But I still don't think so." Xu Muzhou hesitated for a while, and decided to stick to his opinion: "If you say that all the layouts in this room are preset, few people can imagine such completeness—"

Xu Muzhou stopped in the middle of speaking.

He suddenly remembered the situation when Yan Cen hypnotized Ji Yun on the second day when he first came to this mission world. Yan Cen once said that Ji Yun's inner world was "without flaws", so from this perspective, she It seems that it is not difficult to "create" a living environment without flaws.

"If she hasn't lived here for a day, then why did she put so much effort into arranging this place?" Xu Muzhou changed the subject and asked, "Even this place is full of traces of her 'living', why did she Do you want this?"

"The answer may be here." Yan Cen straightened up, turned his head and walked to the bedroom on the other side: "Split up, it will be faster."

Needless to say, Xu Muzhou has already started to move. He opened the door of the study room wide to exchange information with Yan Cen on the other side in time.

Xu Muzhou first looked for it from the desk. There were only a few magazines on Ji Yun's desk. Xu Muzhou searched briefly, but he didn't find any personal items such as letters among them, so he gathered these magazines into a pile for the time being. Put it down first, and shift your sight to the bookshelf next to it.

Xu Muzhou first took a rough look at the catalog of titles on her bookshelf, and found that they were neatly arranged by category. Most of them were reference books and related extracurricular teaching materials for architecture majors. The books were packed tightly, and there was nothing worth noting. of.

One-third of the bookshelf was turned into a large closed drawer, but luckily it was not locked. Xu Muzhou half-kneeled on the ground, opened the drawers one by one, and looked at the things inside.

He searched carefully, remembering the order and habit of placing the various documents, and kept them at hand after rummaging through them.

Xu Muzhou is a person with a very clear bottom line. Even if he is forced by work to do this kind of investigation, he tries his best to keep his sense of proportion and doesn't spy too much.

Among the three rows of file cabinets, only the top row contained some of Ji Yun's work documents, and the middle cabinet was empty, with only two unopened post-it notes lying alone in it.

Xu Muzhou closed the door after only one glance, and opened the last drawer.

The last drawer also felt almost empty. Xu Muzhou originally thought that he would return for nothing, but when he pulled it out, he found that there was a real estate certificate inside.

Xu Muzhou opened the real estate certificate, and a few pages of folded paper fell out from inside. Xu Muzhou opened it and found that it was a house purchase contract.

Ji Yun bought an existing house, and the delivery date was January 2016, 1—very close to the time when she was admitted to the hospital.

Counting the various decoration times in this house, Ji Yun probably entered a nursing home not long after the house was installed because of mental problems.

Xu Muzhou didn't know if there was any connection between them, so he stuffed the house purchase contract back into the real estate certificate, stood up and was going to ask Yan Cen about the situation.

The wardrobe door in the bedroom was wide open, Yan Cen was sitting on the carpet beside the bed, looking at a stack of photos with his head down.

Yan Cen was already very familiar with Xu Muzhou's footsteps, and before Xu Muzhou could approach him to speak, Yan Cen had already handed Xu Muzhou something without raising his head.

"Look at this." Yan Cen said.

It was a large folder similar to a record book. The plastic cover of the folder was tightly wrapped with oiled paper, and the corners were very new. It was not difficult to see that there were almost no traces of tampering.

Xu Muzhou tucked the real estate certificate under his arm for the time being, reached out to take the folder, opened it, and found that it contained not ordinary photos, but a bunch of documents and reports.The diagnosis and treatment certificates and inspection reports of various hospitals are included in it in order. Xu Muzhou doesn't know much about medical terms, so he can only look at the general idea.

He quickly flipped through the pages, and almost understood what it was.

Until the end, Xu Muzhou confirmed his guess on the last page of the folder - a certificate with the official seal was placed there.

The date of death was December 2015, 12, and the age was one year and three months. The cause of death was illness.

- This is the death certificate of "Remembrance".
