My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 174 An Lan’s “Plan”

Zhuang Xiao could feel that this old man actually didn't like him.

In other words, he has complicated feelings towards himself.

After all, the person he unilaterally considered to be his childhood sweetheart, family benefactor, and even his former secret crush, all died in his hands.

But he had a very good relationship with his precious granddaughter, and there was also Bai Yueguang's instructions. He was extremely conflicted and didn't even know what attitude to use to face himself.

Now that the matter has been discussed, it is natural to get rid of them.

Zhuang Xiao is a person who responds to soft words but not to hard ones. If someone doesn't give him a good face, he naturally won't be the type to get in trouble.

So without stopping, he took Shudie away immediately, and then bought a plane ticket directly to the airport to return to Luoyang.

Shu Die was actually relieved, as she was afraid that Brother Xiao would quarrel with Grandpa.

But it’s okay if there isn’t any meeting. If we don’t meet in the short term, then we won’t meet. There will always be a time for reconciliation in the future anyway.

After returning to Luoyang, Shu Die brought Zhuang Xiao back to her large flat without hesitation.

After resting for a while, she opened the brown paper bag and roughly looked through the information, then threw the key inside to Zhuang Xiao, "Brother Xiao, this place is called Half Mountain Valley."

"Mid-mountain valley?" Zhuang Xiao paused as he was about to search on the navigation map. "I know this place. It's at the westernmost part of the city, less than 500 meters from the highway exit."

That place is a townhouse community. Construction started a long time ago, but then the developer ran away due to lack of funds. No one took over the business for more than ten years. It was only in the past few years that someone took over and completed the construction.

I didn't expect An Lan actually has property there?

Shu Die glanced at the sky. The pale sky in the west outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window was slowly turning into dark blue.

"Brother Xiao, it's already past seven in the evening. Should we go tomorrow?"

"Let's go straight over now. The sooner we get things done, the sooner we can feel at ease." Zhuang Xiao unscrewed the bottle cap and took a gulp of mineral water. Then he tightened the cap and stood up. "Let's go."

"okay!"

In fact, after running all day, Shu Die was already a little tired.

But she didn't say it, instead she cheered herself up and became full of energy again.

Originally, it would take about forty minutes to drive from her place to the valley halfway up the mountain.

But now is the rush hour for people getting off work and after school, and many people are out for dinner. Luoyang is originally a third-tier city, and the original road planning did not take today into account at all, so several main roads will be jammed during rush hour.

By the time they reached the valley halfway up the mountain, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the moon and stars were already dim in the sky.

Fortunately, this place is close to the highway entrance and it is late now, so there are not as many cars on the road as more than an hour ago.

After parking the car at the gate, the two of them swiped their passes and entered the community.

The first thing you see is a townhouse.

The two found An Lan's apartment according to what was written on the property certificate.

This villa has four floors and is located at the innermost part of the community.

Zhuang Xiao took out the key, opened the door and entered the house, then turned on the flashlight on the back of his mobile phone and fumbled to find the power switch and turned it on, then turned on the crystal ceiling chandelier in the living room.

The sudden brightness made Zhuang Xiao and Shu Die squint their eyes subconsciously, and they slowly opened them after a few seconds.

Shu Die put her hands behind her back and looked around, "The atmosphere of life is quite strong."

Yes, the feeling is hard to describe, but one can tell whether a place is occupied by people.

It's obvious that people once lived here.

Zhuang Xiao touched the dust on the counter, then rubbed it with his fingers, "An Lan used to be the principal of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School. She probably lived here."

It only takes ten minutes to drive from here to Dongfang No. 1 Middle School. An Lan should have lived here in Luoyang when she was alive more than ten years ago.

Shu Jianhong said that she had told him a long time ago that if she was gone, she would give the keys and the property to the person who went to Beijing to pursue her.
Did she "foresee" that she would die at Zhuang Xiao's hands?
But Zhuang Xiao could feel that every time he tried to kill her, he was actually forced by her to do it on the spot.

This feeling is quite like shooting an arrow first and then drawing the target. Brushing off the dust on his hands, Zhuang Xiao ordered: "Let's go and see what is here."

This townhouse has no basement, only four floors.

Since An Lan led him here, there must be something here.

Two hours later, at 23 o'clock in the evening, or p.m., Zhuang Xiao and Shu Die returned to the living room.

There was also a small safe in front of them.

The safe was found in the study, placed in the corner of the bookshelf cabinet, hidden behind several books.

It was only when Shu Die went to look through the book that she found it.

At that time, Shu Die wanted to see if there were any clues in those books, but she didn't find any clues in the books, but she found this safe.

At first glance, this safe is not as advanced as the ones in the basement of a villa in Beijing. It even uses a mechanical lock.

But it is a password mechanical lock.

The lock is an eight-digit combination.

At this moment, Shu Die was squatting in front of the combination lock and fiddling with the password.

In less than two minutes, the lock opened with a click.

Shu Die looked up in surprise and proudly presented her treasure, "Brother Xiao! It is indeed your birthday! But it is a positive number!"

"Hmm." This was not beyond Zhuang Xiao's expectations. "What's inside?"

"let me see!"

At this moment, Shu Die felt as happy as if she was playing a puzzle game.

And now she is playing a real-life puzzle game, which makes her even happier!
She searched the safe but found only a stack of papers.

"Why is there information again?" Shu Die complained, "It's like playing a game. When I played puzzle games before, there were information texts everywhere."

Zhuang Xiao took the information and said to comfort him casually, "The game has so much text, it must be for the players to read. Otherwise, it would be in vain. Not everyone is like Hidetaka Miyazaki who likes to make fragmented plots and hide the text in the background. How can you solve the puzzle without giving you the information?"

"I know, but sometimes I just feel it's too deliberate." Shu Die complained again.

"You're still not satisfied even though the difficulty has really increased. Huh?"

Zhuang Xiao was suddenly stunned.

He looked up suddenly, "Xiao Die, do you mean that these materials were specially left for me by An Lan?"

Now that I think about it, it seemed as if everything he did was arranged by An Lan!

He assassinated An Lan because he was forced by the other party. After he was released from prison, he went to find Xu Guoping because Xu Guoping had more clues.

When they got there, Xu Guoping gave him the key left by An Lan.

Then after reading the information about the basement of the Beijing villa, he discovered that Shu Jianhong was also related to this matter.

When he went to find Shu Jianhong, the other party gave him the key to guide him here.
Shu Die was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It seems... to be the case?"

She suddenly shuddered, and then rubbed her arms quickly, "Brother Xiao, stop talking! I have goose bumps!"

A person who has been dead for twelve years can arrange what his murderer will do twelve years later!
This speculation is really too terrifying.

Zhuang Xiao shook his head and flipped through the information.

Then, his pupils shrank.

[Zhuang Xiao has been born, and the plan is about to officially begin. ]
