My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 166 Unpacking

Zhuang Xiao's intuition told him that the reason this house was so well protected was actually because of this safe.

The important things should be in this box.

He walked over and squatted down to try to pick up the safe, but the safe made of an unknown alloy was indeed a bit heavy, and he failed after several attempts.

So he simply sat down and looked at the safe.

I saw that the surrounding area of the safe seemed to be fused with the ground, but it didn't look like it was welded on because it was very smooth and no welding points could be seen.

Shu Die, who had already collected the "trophies", trotted over contentedly and squatted down with her legs turned inwards, "Brother Xiao, why don't you open it? Let me open it this time!"

“It doesn’t feel necessary.”

Zhuang Xiao pointed to the lock on the alloy safe.

This lock is not an electronic lock, nor is it a fingerprint lock or an iris lock, it is just the most traditional mechanical lock.

So what this lock needs is a key.

Shu Die felt strange, "What kind of key does this lock use?"

She thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "Is it the brass key we got from the mental hospital before?"

Zhuang Xiao held his forehead helplessly, "Why do you have such a good imagination? That key has nothing to do with this place."

The brass key was used to open the bedroom door in An Shihong's house.

Shu Die scratched her head in surprise, "What kind of key could that be?"

"It must be the one Xu Guoping gave me. What else could it be?" Zhuang Xiao said as he took out the key Xu Guoping gave him. "But I still have a question. Since he has the key, has he touched anything in here?"

Shu Die was confident, "I don't think so."

Zhuang Xiao turned around and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Although Shu Die always appears innocent and lively in front of him, Zhuang Xiao knows that Shu Die is not like that outside.

In those different timelines, Shu Die has grown to the point where she is capable of taking over her father's business, but she is still young and needs training.

But if you think she is innocent and naive just because she is young and lively, then you are a little crazy.

And Zhuang Xiao knew that this girl's observation and action abilities were terrifyingly strong.

After all, these were things he had experienced personally.

Seeing that Zhuang Xiao didn't refute her or give her a perfunctory answer, Shu Die proudly raised her fair chin and said, "If it were me, after I got sick and couldn't come back, I would definitely separate the key to the door and the key inside and give them to two people for safekeeping.

“So I think the six-digit or eight-digit code at the door was made by Sister Yueyue, and Teacher Xu holds the key to the safe, so neither of them can know what is here.

"After all, it seems that Teacher Xu is not convinced by Sister Yueyue."

Shudie pointed to her bag and said, "These photos are proof. They could only have been photoshopped by Sister Yueyue."

Zhuang Xiao sighed, "I've already said that Gu Shiyue didn't even know me when she was studying in the capital."

"Oh! I think you, Xiao, have gone mad in there!" Shu Die immediately stood up and put her hands on her hips to retort, "What era is this? In 2008, we had high-speed rail in our country! It only takes more than three hours from Luoyang to Beijing by high-speed rail! If she could go back and forth quickly, even if she followed Principal An, a day would be enough, and she wouldn't even have to stay in Beijing overnight!"

Zhuang Xiao knew that she was right. As long as she wanted, the ancient moon would come at any time.

But Zhuang Xiao knew that those photos were not photoshopped, so it was very likely that Gu Shiyue didn't know about this place.

Or she knows, but the password was not set by her.

Zhuang Xiao always believed that the password should have been made by An Lan, including those photos.

For example, why did Xu Guoping say that An Lan "knew that she would go to see him"?
Or to put it another way, why did I want to meet Xu Guoping?

Because Gu Shiyue was still dead, and Xu Guoping was the only witness at the scene. If Zhuang Xiao wanted to know more details, he would definitely go to Xu Guoping.

Then the question arises again, An Lan was already dead at that time, how did she know all this and then arrange for Xu Guoping to treat her?
That’s right. Zhuang Xiao felt that the things Xu Guoping gave him were not actually of his own will. In other words, he thought they were of his own ideas, but in fact they were arranged by An Lan.

So, the prerequisite for me to go find Xu Guoping is that Gu Shiyue is dead and Xu Guoping is the only eyewitness at the scene.

But all this happened after An Lan's death.

Unless she knew when and where Gu Shiyue would die, and also knew that Xu Guoping would be at the scene.

Or, Xu Guoping would be "arranged" by her to be the only witness to Gu Shiyue's death scene at that time.

If this speculation is followed, then the starting point of the "story line" of Gu Shiyue's death is still An Lan.

But if that's the case, Gu Shiyue shouldn't have died. After all, the "story line" of her death ended after An Lan's death.

unless
Zhuang Xiao looked up suddenly.

Unless Gu Shiyue's death was indeed related to An Lan! Or it was indeed An Lan who led all this! But the person who killed Gu Shiyue was not An Lan!

When An Lan died, she had already made arrangements in advance!

So even if he killed her, the "story line" of Gu Shiyue's death would still begin!

In fact, this is also Zhuang Xiao’s guess.

What he had to do was to gather clues from all sides and find out the beginning of the "story line" that directly led to Gu Shiyue's death.

Otherwise, it couldn't be that Xu Guoping was lying.

Zhuang Xiao has some understanding of this man. In fact, he is both bad and stupid.

Saying that he is stupid does not mean that he has a low IQ. His academic ability is just not as good as top geniuses like An Lan and Gu Shiyue, but he is actually also considered to be at the top of the pyramid.

It's just relatively low within the top range of the pyramid.

To say he is stupid is because he disdains to lie and his methods of handling things are rather low-level.

At least he never lied to Zhuang Xiao, but when he encountered problems, he panicked and only knew how to solve them by killing people.

He could even be threatened by someone like Shen Xing!

In fact, Xu Guoping is a typical scientific research character who is quite naive. That is, he is very rigid and inflexible in doing things, but he has no bottom line as a human being.

So Zhuang Xiao felt that it shouldn't be him.

But anyway, let’s unbox it first.

Now he just hopes that he can find the answer in this safe, or at least some clues.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Xiaoji simply took out the key given by Xu Guoping and tried to insert it into the keyhole.

The key went in very smoothly.

He twisted it smoothly.
With a click, the lock opened easily.

"It's really that key!"

Shu Die exclaimed, then squatted beside him and stared at the safe with interest.

The light and elegant scent of bergamot, jasmine and other scents on her body drifted past Zhuang Xiao's nostrils, but Zhuang Xiao was not moved for the time being.

He slowly opened the door of the safe.

There was a stack of documents in the safe.
