Disaster Is Coming: Sequence Detective

Chapter 217 Abandoned Courtyard

In the following narration, Xu Nian finally understood the truth in his wife's mouth, and the haze in his heart completely dissipated.

Remembering that day in the demigod's body, when he reluctantly killed the little baseball, he finally felt a lot less guilty in his heart.

Even, in a sense, the son sleeping soundly in front of him is the rebirth of Little League Baseball.

While I was thinking, the electric switch door of the store outside rang loudly.

Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, but he still got up and walked out of the inner room and opened the electric gate.

But it was Zuoqiu Yue whom I had not seen for a day.

After Zuo Qiuyue saw Xu Nian, a smile appeared on her face: "How was your rest?"

Xu Nian rolled his eyes, made her a cup of tea, sat on the sofa, and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Zuo Qiuyue moved a chair and sat down. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, while sighing: "Good tea!"

Seeing that the other party didn't look anxious, Xu Nian naturally became even less anxious. He lit a cigarette and puffed out.

The pungent smell of nicotine slowly emerged in the small store.

One smoke ring after another floats in the air,

Zuo Qiuyue seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. She coughed a few times and couldn't help but said: "Xu Nian, why do you want to resign?"

This is something she can't understand!

Since resolving the crisis in Crystal City, Xu Nian has made huge contributions. Xu Nian was originally given the opportunity to speak at will, but Xu Nian suddenly proposed to use his credit in exchange for the termination of the contract.

No one knew why, but what was even more bizarre was that the eldest lady actually made the general hospital agree to Xu Nian's request despite all the objections.

However, as a price, Xu Nian's every move began to be closely monitored by the hospital.

"Nothing, I'm tired!"

Xu Nian blew out the smoke ring again and said calmly.

"This incident at the Crystal City Research Institute has had a huge impact on the entire city wall, and it has exceeded the expectations of the institute. There are still many things to do in the follow-up... But no matter what, if it weren't for you this time, I don't know what would have happened. what happened……"

Zuo Qiuyue looked at Xu Nian solemnly, even puzzled.

He had clearly made great achievements, and not to mention the appreciation, the rewards he received were enough to make people excited. But at this moment, the man in front of him chose to leave!

Not only did she not understand, but almost everyone in the courtyard, except the eldest lady, could not understand.

She even heard that Team Leader Gu Shan went to the eldest lady to argue with him about this, although it ended in vain.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

After Xu Nian put out the cigarette butt, he looked at Zuo Qiuyue with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Nian didn't want to talk about it, Zuo Qiuyue could only sigh and took out a key from his pocket.

"The eldest lady asked me to give this thing to you and asked me to take the message. She can only do this."

Xu Nian took a deep breath, took the key solemnly and looked at it for a while, then put it in his pocket and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss, for me."

Zuo Qiuyue rolled her eyes: "Well, since the matter has been settled, I won't disturb you anymore. Anyway, thanks to your great blessing, I am now a member of the special operations team!"

Xu Nian smiled slightly: "Congratulations, and don't worry, I will not forget what I promised you. I will definitely help you find the murderer of your father."

Zuo Qiuyue looked at Xu Nian complicatedly for a while, then said nothing, got up and left.

Xu Nian watched the other party leave, and after a while, he took out the key in his pocket again.

Late at night, Xu Nian came to an abandoned courtyard in the southern suburbs, with a solemn look in his eyes.

The satellite coordinates engraved on the key given to him by the eldest lady are here. Although it is strange that there is an abandoned courtyard in this place, but thinking about the agreement with the eldest lady, he believes that the eldest lady will not lie to him.

That’s right!

The reason why he chose to leave Sunset Mental Hospital at this time was of course not because he disliked the life there. After all, he had finally made great achievements and a hot life had arrived. How could he choose to retire to the city?

Everything is the eldest lady’s secret mission!

In other words, it is a secret deal that Xu Nian cannot refuse!

He agreed to leave the hospital in this way and secretly investigate a matter for the eldest lady. In return, the eldest lady gave him a clue that could help him thoroughly understand everything about his father-in-law.

And this clue is this abandoned courtyard.

It is better to say that it is an auxiliary courtyard than an old courtyard house. The heavy wooden door has not been opened for an unknown period of time, and the seals on it have fallen off.

He pushed the door open with a little force, and what came into view was a dilapidated lawn.

There are wooden houses in front, left and right of the lawn, with seals on the doors.

Since he didn't know what the eldest lady's so-called clue was, he had to carefully cross the lawn and then enter the lobby of the other courtyard.

The neat but shabby Chinese furniture is covered with dust. Hanging in the center of the lobby is an ancient scroll, which shows a beautiful woman in ancient costume. However, because it is from the back, her face cannot be seen clearly, but only from the other side. Judging from her slender figure, she was definitely a rare beauty in ancient times.

After walking around, he didn't find anything. He even used his spiritual power to sense it and found nothing unusual.

So, he left the lobby and walked into the wing on the left.

However, what he didn't notice was that the moment he turned around and left the lobby, the woman in the garden turned around, revealing a strange face.

The wing on the left seemed to be a woman's boudoir. Inside, he saw ancient bronze mirrors, warm-colored bed curtains that only women would use, and he even saw women's clothes in the closet.

"Still nothing!"

After Xu Nian checked and found nothing, he was ready to leave.

However, just after he turned around,

A faint voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Sir, can you help me comb my hair?"

Xu Nian's body suddenly froze in place, and he was sweating profusely.

"Guardian, don't be nervous, the little woman won't hurt you!"

As the soft female voice sounded again, Xu Nian took a deep breath and slowly turned around, but his pupils shrank rapidly.

He saw a woman in ancient costume wearing only tulle. It would be fine if that was all, but the problem was that the back of this woman was exactly the same as the woman in the painting he saw in the lobby just now.

Is it a human or a ghost?

The spiritual power in Xu Nian's body reached out almost instinctively, but was bounced back as if it had encountered a barrier.

"Sir, can you comb the little girl's hair?"

The woman in ancient costume picked up a wooden comb from the table and pointed the bronze mirror in front of her at her face.

Xu Nian, who was standing not far behind her, suddenly took a breath of air.

Because, through the mirror, he saw a white face without facial features.
