The Card Maker of Time Travel

Chapter 121

Gu Chen, who had lived an ordinary life for more than [-] years before the time travel, still had a little inexplicable excitement and fear about going to a crime scene.

Murong Zhuoqi saw the complex expression of the otaku man, habitually ruffled his hair, and put a coat on him: "Don't worry, the evidence and corpses involved in the scene must have been taken away by the police."

It's a little cooler tonight.

The villa area where Tang Shen lives is in the bustling area of ​​Central Star, and Gu Chen can feel the hustle and bustle and lights along the way.Instead, when they entered the villa area, it suddenly became deserted and dark.

The distance between each villa is very large, if Murong Zhuoqi hadn't led the way, Gu Chen felt that he would definitely get lost.

The two came to the single-family villa where Tang Shen lived.The iron gate of the small garden outside the villa was sealed. Through the iron railing, one can vaguely see the same seal on the gate of the villa.

"Climb in? Pick the lock and get in?" Gu Chen asked for advice.

Murong Zhuoqi smiled helplessly, and summoned the little black dragon.The little black dragon who had been neglected for a long time jumped into Gu Chen's arms as soon as he was summoned, and was grabbed by Murong Zhuoqi.

"Take us up." Murong Zhuoqi pointed to the roof of the villa.

Reluctantly, the little black dragon became bigger, carried the two of them on its back, flew up to the roof, and then changed back to a miniature size.

The roof is a terrace with rattan chairs, wooden tables and many flower pots.Probably the owner died and lacked care, and the plants in the pots have withered.

There is a door on the terrace that leads to the interior. The door is very old and the lock is broken. I don't know whether it is in disrepair or the owner likes this style.

The two walked together from top to bottom.

Murong Zhuoqi was very vigilant and didn't dare to turn on the lights in the villa. After all, the sealed villa was suddenly brightly lit, so people must be suspicious. Even if the place is sparsely populated, no one might see it.

Murong Zhuoqi summoned three luminous flowers, two were attached to the little black dragon's wings, and one was tied to the tail.

The little black dragon who was dressed as a flower girl was extremely depressed, and wanted to get into Gu Chen's arms, but was thrown by Murong Zhuoqi in front of him to illuminate and explore the way.

Tang Shen’s villa is very simple, basically white, gray and log colors, with few furniture, few partitions, not many rooms but each room is very large, and there is no particular decoration in the interior.

"This decoration seems to be different from his own style." Murong Zhuoqi said.

Tang Shen has been active on the screen all year round after retiring, and Yan Chi from Douhua TV is known as the "screen duo". 'It doesn't give people the feeling that they are reclusive, low-key and unattached.

Murong Zhuoqi and Gu Chen simply walked around the villa, except that there was an area in the living room surrounded by warning signs, which should be the place where the corpses lay before, and they found nothing unusual.In addition to the study room, Tang Shen's bedroom, bedside table, and sofa in the living room are not scattered with any books in the entire villa.

"It seems that we still have to check in the study." Murong Zhuoqi said.

Tang Shen's study is very large, the entire second floor is a study except for the bedroom, and the collection of books is also very rich, only slightly inferior to Murong's.

Murong Zhuoqi helped Gu Chen set up the search page and data extraction program of the interstellar network. Gu Chen only needs to input the name of the book, and he can search for the words in the book based on the combination of numbers found in the newspaper.

Gu Chen looked at the collection of books in the room and nodded. Without this function, it would be difficult for them to read through the books in ten and a half months.

Having said that, just looking at the title of the book and typing it in is not a small amount of work.The two found a bookcase each, and then immersed themselves in searching for books.

The books in the bookcase that Gu Chen chose happen to be books on the customs and customs of various planets, planet history, etc., which made Gu Chen quite interested.Gu Chen, who loves books, couldn't help picking out a book and flipping through a few pages, and then became completely addicted to it, forgetting that the most important task at the moment is to find the book corresponding to the password.

Murong Zhuoqi flipped through the pages very quickly, and finished comparing a bookshelf in a short while, turned around and saw that Gu Chen was still flipping through the books with relish, and couldn't help laughing.This guy is always so calm, he can take a errand at any time.

If it was someone else, Murong Zhuoqi might be angry and not doing his job properly, but for Gu Chen, Murong Zhuoqi only thought he was cute, thinking of this, Murong Zhuoqi suddenly felt that he was so unprincipled.

Just as she was about to go over and rub the other party's shoulders, Murong Zhuoqi suddenly heard a soft voice.

someone.

Murong Zhuoqi immediately recalled Ye Guanghua and Xiao Hei Long, quickly stuffed Gu Chen's scattered books on the floor into the bookshelf in the dark, looked around, hugged Gu Chen and crawled under the desk.

Gu Chen, who was surrounded by Murong Zhuoqi in his arms, was a little dazed by the sudden movement, and asked Murong Zhuoqi with his eyes.

Murong Zhuoqi adjusted his posture to make the other party more comfortable, then whispered in Gu Chen's ear, "There is someone, please keep quiet."

Gu Chen's heart was beating fast, he couldn't tell whether it was because someone else entered the villa and felt dangerous, or because Murong Zhuoqi's breath lingering in his ears was too alluring.

The two of them waited for a while, then heard the sound of small footsteps, Murong Zhuoqi made a judgment, there were two people.

Those two seemed to have no fear, they turned on all the lights in the villa as soon as they entered the house, even Murong Zhuoqi and the others could feel the light coming from the second floor.

Gu Chen squeezed Murong Zhuoqi's hand nervously.The otaku man's palms were all wet, and he conveyed his feelings to Murong Zhuoqi.

Murong Zhuoqi felt the stickiness in the palm of his hand, and he also held the other party hard, trying to make the other party's tension less.

Murong Zhuoqi couldn't tell what the intention of the visitor was, after all the master had passed away and the seal had not been broken, so the other party would not have come to investigate like they did.

Those two footsteps lingered downstairs for a long time, and finally began to approach upstairs.

Gu Chen felt his heart stuck in his throat, and his mind went blank.

"Search again to see what else is there." A clear and beautiful voice came, which was quite pleasant, but Gu Chen couldn't help but tremble a bit, because the pleasant voice was full of coldness.

"Why did you kill him with such a brutal method?" Another young man asked calmly.

The melodious voice laughed, and said: "I like to get to the bottom of things too much, and it will never end well, such as Tang Shen. As for dismembering the corpse, there is no way, my little pet is like this style, what can I do."

The other male voice did not answer.

Gu Chen's heart thumped even harder, Murong Zhuoqi hugged him even harder, and covered Gu Chen's mouth with his palm.

Listening to this conversation, it turns out that the person who came here is the murderer of Tang Shen.To be so arrogant, dare to walk in the house openly and aboveboard after killing someone.

"Wait a minute." That clear and beautiful voice said suddenly. "Why do I feel that someone has been here?"

This time it was another man's turn to sneer: "You have made such a big commotion, the federal and military investigation teams probably have come."

"No, I always feel that there is someone, at this moment."

At this moment, even Murong Zhuoqi couldn't keep calm, if the other party found them, what should they do?

Fight recklessly with the other party?But they don't know the depth of the other party, and the other party's methods are so cruel, it must not be an easy person to deal with.

"I'm going to the bedroom, you go to the study, I want to see who is there."

The lights in the study came on.

The two people under the table heard footsteps walking slowly in the room, as if they were checking the bookshelves for favorite books.

Murong Zhuoqi's thoughts turned quickly.

Now there is only one person, although I don't know how strong this person is, but at least it is easier to deal with than two people.

But Murong was worried about Gu Chen.Gu Chen does not have the ability to fight. If he fights, there is no guarantee that Gu Chen will be implicated. At that time, it is uncertain whether Gu Chen will be able to protect himself.

If the battle cannot be resolved quickly and another person comes over, the situation will be even more dire.

The two watched the shadow on the ground walking towards them, Murong Zhuoqi had already held the card in his hand, and was ready to fight at any time.

The figure stayed in front of the desk.

Murong Zhuoqi had no way of judging whether the other party was just staying in front of the desk, or had already spotted them.

After a while, the figure left the spot and continued to move forward.

Gu Chen couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but Murong Zhuoqi didn't relax, he couldn't be sure if the other party left on purpose after seeing them, to let them relax their vigilance.

The figure lingered in the study for a while, until another voice sounded: "I have no one here."

"That's not true, your feeling is not very accurate." The male voice in the study said calmly.

"Huh, it's really boring. It seems that this guy really didn't leave anything behind, so he's smart." Qingli's male voice snorted coldly, and strolled downstairs.

It wasn't until the sound of their footsteps gradually receding and the sound of the villa's door closing that Gu Chen and Murong Zhuoqi relaxed a bit.

Gu Chen wanted to crawl out from under the desk to stretch his muscles, but was held back by Murong Zhuoqi, who whispered, "Don't go out yet."

Gu Chen knew that Murong was very cautious and did not act without authorization, so he just sat quietly in his arms.

Murong Zhuoqi summoned two jumping mice and asked them to check the movement.The two didn't come out from under the desk until it was confirmed that there was no one else in the ten-mile radius of the villa.

Gu Chen walked to the desk and looked at the place under the desk. "That person should have been standing here just now. He must be able to see us from this position. Why did he act as if he didn't see us?" Gu Chen was a little curious.

Murong Zhuoqi was also confused.He would not fool himself into thinking that the other party hadn't seen them just now.There is no cabinet under the desk to cover it, and there is only a chair in front of it. Although it is not obvious at a glance, it is half-covered and cannot hide people.

At first, Murong Zhuoqi thought that the other party was deliberately letting them relax their vigilance, pretending not to notice, and then reunited with another companion before dealing with them.

But now it doesn't seem to be the case. Could it be that the other party deliberately let them live?

But why?

One of the two drained the owner of the villa's spiritual power and divided him into corpses, annihilated his humanity, but his companion showed them kindness.

Or, those two people are just companions on the surface?

Murong Zhuoqi guessed a lot, but still couldn't figure it out.

Gu Chen didn't bother him, took out his flashlight, and continued to search for the titles on the bookshelf.Murong Zhuoqi thought to no avail, and continued to search for books with Gu Chen.

After a long time, the two sighed at the same time, and it seemed that there was no result.

"It seems that my thinking is not right, or I really think too much, and the other party just wants to list some data more rigorously?" Gu Chen was a little melancholy.

Murong Zhuoqi put his arms around his shoulders and comforted him: "It's okay, at worst we'll look for the information again." In order to comfort Gu Chen, Murong Zhuoqi summoned the little black dragon and stuffed the little black dragon into Gu Chen's arms.

Gu Chen, who was holding the little black dragon, suddenly became more open-minded. It seems that this is the only way to go. The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.

The two were about to continue to leave from the top floor, but they heard the bell coming from downstairs.The eerie bell sounded in the dark villa, a little penetrating.

Gu Chen recalled that when he walked around the entire villa just now, he did notice a grandfather clock in the hall downstairs.At that time, he took a extra look at it, because the big clock was very old and antique.

For some reason, Gu Chen suddenly thought of going downstairs to take a look. "Let's go down and take a look."

Murong Zhuoqi naturally would not object.

In the hall, the grandfather clock was still ringing, it was twelve midnight.Something protruded from above the clock, and then it protruded back a few seconds later, over and over again.Because the light was too dim, I couldn't see what it was.

The little black dragon could not only guess the master's mind, but also guess Gu Chen's mind, flapped the little fireball with its tail lit up twice, and flew to the grandfather clock.By the light of the fireball, both of them could see that the sticking out thing was not a common bird or doll, but a book.

What a coincidence?Is it really unintentional?Another village with dark willows and bright flowers?Gu Chen and Murong Zhuoqi looked at each other for a while, then took down the book.

It's a decoration, not really a book.

"A Brief History of Interstellar History, a commonly used history book, we have checked it before." Murong Zhuoqi said.

Gu Chen took it, it was indeed a rather ingenious decoration.Gu Chen flipped through it for a while, then suddenly remembered something, took out a blade from the bag, and cut it in the middle of the decoration book.

"I'll do it." Murong Zhuoqi guessed Gu Chen's intentions, and took the ornaments and blades.Soon, the decoration was cut open, and a book was quietly placed inside.

The two looked at each other.

Murong Zhuoqi flipped through it for a moment: "I've never seen this book before, it should be hundreds of years old."

Gu Chen nodded: "I just searched the interstellar library, and there is no such title."

"Put that string of codes in there and try?" Murong asked.

There is no way to use automatic search, the two of them can only extract and record page by page, and soon, a line of words appears in front of them.

"The things are stored in locker 9, No. 1183 store, Central Xingji Building. Password: 48952179" Gu Chen read out each word one by one, and then looked at Murong Zhuoqi with a puzzled expression.

"The Ji Building is the property of the Ji family, and it is responsible for the preservation of valuables. Many people like to store important documents and finances there." Murong Zhuoqi said.

At this moment, Murong Zhuoqi's heart was agitated. Whether it was the hidden information in the newspaper that really contained secrets, or the other two unknown visitors tonight, it all showed that Tang Shen was very likely to know the inside story of the matter.

Murong Zhuoqi was full of doubts and restless, while Gu Chen was much more optimistic. "Then let's go to the quarter building to pick up things now?"

Looking at Gu Chen who was so energetic that he seemed to be able to sleep for days and nights, Murong Zhuoqi couldn't help laughing.

"Go back and rest first, let's go together tomorrow, the quarter building is closed in the middle of the night." Murong Zhuoqi said.
