Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen The Twelfth Person

The dead fish were disposed of and the keys washed.Gao Pingying leaned on the sofa, looked at the key in his hand and thought, who put this ancient key at the bottom of the fish tank?Where is the key?Why put it there?Ye Wan also sat on the sofa thinking about what kind of helpless move it would be to put the key in the fish tank.Could it be that during the ward rounds, someone secretly hid the keys in the fish tank?Also, even if there is an ancient key in the drawer, it can be a personal collection, and there is no need to avoid hiding it for it.Could it be that this key is what the avengers are looking for, is it my aunt or Shen Huaqi who hid it there?It doesn't look like it, if it is, the two of them will definitely take the key with them when they leave.

At this time, a person came down the stairs, it was He Yi.Gao Pingying immediately held the key in his palm, put it in his pocket, and signaled Ye Wan with his eyes not to tell about the key.He Yi came down from the stairs and smiled at them peacefully. Judging by his expression, he probably didn't see the key in Gao Pingying's hand. "Why doesn't Doctor He rest?" Gao Pingying asked He Yi. "After drinking coffee, I feel a little excited and can't fall asleep." He Zong sat down on the sofa and said with a headache, "For people who don't usually drink coffee, it's hard to resist the excitement of coffee."

Is this the real purpose of his coming down?Gao Pingying and Ye Wan were silent, the three of them stayed in the living room, the atmosphere was not harmonious.He Yi is a special character, he does not associate with anyone, he is an independent individual, and his personality is so introverted and quiet, it is difficult to analyze this person's inner world. "Ah," Gao Pingying suddenly thought of something, and asked He Yi, "I heard from Mama Zhang that when Mr. Ye came here on the afternoon of the 22nd, Dr. He was in the living room. Have you never left the living room?"

After thinking about it seriously, He Yu told Gao Pingying that he had left the living room that afternoon, but it can still be proved that Mr. Ye did not leave the house.At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Zhang, who was guarding the gate, came in and said he was not feeling well, and wanted to go into the room to lie down and ask him to look at the gate.This is a common occurrence. When Uncle Zhang is in trouble, he is the one who helps watch the gate.After more than an hour, Uncle Zhang came out to replace him. Although he had left the living room, he still guarded the door. He naturally knew whether Mr. Ye was going out.

No matter He Zhan or Zhang Ma, what they said showed that her father had indeed not left, and the 22nd was the day of her father's death.The aunt has a secret in the hands of the father. Is the threatening letter aimed at the aunt or the father?This is what Ye Wan doesn't understand.If it was aimed at his father, why did he ask his aunt?If it was aimed at my aunt, why was the threatening letter sent to her father? During dinner, Gao Pingying suddenly asked He Zong uncharacteristically how to distinguish between Catholicism and Christianity most simply and clearly. Ye Wan understood that Gao Pingying's uncharacteristic was because of the key, that key was either a Christian thing or a Catholic thing.

He Zong hesitated for a moment, and expressed in his characteristic humble tone that he didn't know much. There was a big difference between the two religions. The most concise way to distinguish them was from the decorations on the surface.The Catholic Church not only decorates crosses of various sizes, but also often worships statues or portraits of Jesus carrying the cross, as well as portraits of the Virgin Mary and saints.Christianity, on the other hand, is a simple cross, and does not worship the Virgin Mary or saints. They only worship the Trinity God. Gao Pingying nodded, expressing his understanding.Ye Wan also understood that the key should be a Catholic key, because inside the circle of the key handle is a statue of Jesus carrying a cross.It is puzzling that the ancient key of Catholicism is at the bottom of my aunt's fish tank.Is there some connection between the key and the Jesus poem?Ye Wan felt even more uneasy.

"Miss Ye's complexion is so bad, now is not the time to be sick. Why don't I watch the night for you, go and rest, I don't want to sleep anyway." Looking at Ye Wan with haggard and gloomy face, He Yi suddenly expressed his concern. Hearing such warm words, Ye Wan felt a rush of warmth in her heart, she thanked He Yi, and asked her partner if she could accept his kindness. With Gao Pingying's permission, Ye Wan went upstairs with confidence and walked to the second floor. In the silence, she heard a sound on the third floor, which seemed to come from her aunt's room.Ye Wan's nerves tensed up, she hesitated whether to call Gao Pingying, if the room was aunt, calling Gao Pingying would bring trouble to aunt.Ye Wan decided to first determine who the above person is by herself.

She walked very lightly, not wanting to frighten the other party.Walking to the door and listening closely, there was indeed a sound inside, which made Ye Wan's heart beat faster, and she gently turned the doorknob.After the aunt disappeared, the door of this room was not locked.In fact, even if there is a lock, it is unnecessary. The closed person can take away the mobile phone in everyone's room, which means that he has the key to open every door. She gently opened the door with a gap, and in the dark room, a beam of weak light was flickering, like the light of a small flashlight, which seemed to be in the direction of the wardrobe.There is a safe in the closet. Could it be that my aunt came to get the contents of the safe?Ye Wan softly called her aunt, the beam of light disappeared immediately, and no one responded to her.Ye Wan was confused when the door was opened, and a pale figure came out, it was the mentally abnormal Shen Dan.

"What are you doing in my aunt's room?" Ye Wan asked calmly. Shen Dan didn't answer, his ferocious eyes were a little angry, probably because of Ye Wan's interference.During the stalemate, Shen Dan's eyes staring at Ye Wan suddenly changed, and her expression became excited and sharp. She rushed towards Ye Wan, dragged Ye Wan downstairs, and said while dragging: "Go back to your own place , Wherever you come from, go back. This is my home, my home!" Shen Dan's attack caught the unprepared Ye Wan off guard and was dragged to the stairs.Ye Wan wanted to control her footsteps, but it was too late, Shen Dan pushed hard, pushing her down the stairs who had lost her center of gravity.Ye Wan screamed, she couldn't stand upright, and fell down the stairs.Fortunately, the sectioned stairs were not very long, and each section had a turning point. She stopped at the corner of this section of stairs.In pain, Ye Wan raised her head and looked up. Shen Dan was gone, and a black figure quickly turned around the bend of the stairs above and ran to the fourth floor.The figure is a man, dressed in black, with a black silk net covering his head, his face cannot be seen, but the black pants and black socks on his body make Ye Wan sure that the feet of this man are the ones she saw on the first day. The pair of men's feet that arrived.

Ye Wan's cry had already alarmed the people in the living room downstairs, Gao Pingying and He Yi ran up, saw her lying on the stairwell, and hurriedly asked what happened.Seeing that He Yi was there, Ye Wan didn't dare to tell about the man's feet, she just said that she heard a noise in her aunt's room, so she went up to have a look, but she didn't expect that it was Shen Dan inside, and she was pushed down the stairs by the angry Shen Dan . He Yi immediately checked her. Fortunately, her spine and bones are fine, and it will take time for the pain in the muscles to be relieved gradually.The two sent the injured Ye Wan to her room. He Zong went upstairs to find his patient. He was very disturbed by what happened just now, and felt that the patient's mood was so bad because he was stimulated by a series of unexpected events. of.

"I dare not stay in the room alone." Ye Wan called Gao Pingying who was about to leave, she still had lingering fears about what happened just now, she was afraid that Shen Dan would come to make trouble again, and she was also afraid that someone would kill her to silence her. Gao Pingying sat down on the chair again, looked at Ye Wan who was sitting on the bed with a sad face, and asked her if she forgot his reminder.He asked her to keep silent as much as possible in front of other people, no matter what she saw or heard, don't show it, just tell him secretly.What happened just now, she didn't do well, she was lucky to be injured.Next, as long as you don't provoke Shen Dan, there shouldn't be too much danger. "But I saw the twelfth person, if he knew that I saw him, would he let me go?" Ye Wan asked anxiously. "What?" Gao Pingying's expression suddenly became serious, "You saw the twelfth person?" Ye Wan described the twelfth person she saw, the style of tight black pants and tight black sweater, both showed that his age would not be too old, he should be under 30 years old.The opponent was tall and thin, shorter than Gao Pingying, but close to 1.8 meters.No face was visible, but judging from the outline wrapped in silk mesh, it was a long face.I saw him running towards the fourth floor twice, which meant that he was indeed hiding on the fourth floor.Ye Wan even suspected that Shen Dan was related to the twelfth person. In the aunt's room just now, there might be a twelfth person besides Shen Dan. Shen Dan attacked her to cover this person's departure. Gao Pingying said to go upstairs to have a look, then rushed out of the room.He returned to Ye Wan's room in about half an hour, seeing his frustrated and confused expression, it showed that he still couldn't find the flaw on the fourth floor.The safe in Aunt Ye Wan's room did show signs of being pryed over. It seemed that they entered the room to open the safe.The safe was hidden in the closet, and they hadn't noticed it beforehand. It was discovered during the previous rounds, and that's why they took action.What is the relationship between the twelfth person and Shen Dan? Is he a closed person?You can't force Shen Dan to ask now, even if you ask, there may not be any results. "Tell me, what is their relationship?" Ye Wan asked slowly rubbing the sore spot on her arm. "Guessing randomly is meaningless." Gao Pingying lazily leaned back on the chair, took out the piece of paper with Jesus' poem from the inside pocket of his leather jacket, and read: After Gao Pingying finished reading the poem, he sneered. The laughter was full of self-deprecation and emotion, as if he was laughing at his one-sided thinking and lamented the complexity of the situation.Ye Wan looked at Gao Pingying, and asked herself in her heart, is this policeman worthy of her trust?He is also a very mysterious person, Shen Hua must have been used by him.He came here at the invitation of Shen Huaqi, but he was actually investigating the secrets in his own heart.Is he using her by letting her separate from other people and only communicate with him? "Can I trust you?" Ye Wan looked at Gao Pingying worriedly and asked. "Who else can you trust but me?" he asked rhetorically. Ye Wan pondered for a while and asked, "Are you related to the man who was killed ten years ago? Do you know him?" When he mentioned what happened ten years ago, Gao Pingying's expression became a little serious. Looking at her with doubts and worries on his face, he answered her honestly that he had nothing to do with that man, and he didn't know him.Gao Pingying's bright eyes and honest expression made Ye Wan believe him again. She hoped that she made the right bet and followed him out of the land of death. There was a knock on the door, it was He Yi, who apologized to Ye Wan for his patient, and told her that Shen Dan had already taken a sedative and rested, so she could rest at ease.Gao Pingying also comforted Ye Wan that nothing will happen for the time being and she can live until dawn.With that said, he pressed the button of the door lock, locked the door for her and went out. Ye Wan was the only one left in the room. The cold space accompanied by the sound of rain outside made her feel unprecedentedly lonely and hopeless. Even if she walked out alive, her future life would be bleak. Aunt might not be able to walk out of the abyss of sin. , death and life, both have the same ending.Cold, helpless, wronged, and hurt all over her body, Ye Wan rubbed her injured psoas muscles, her eyes were red, her nose was sore, and tears fell involuntarily. Disobedient tears fell on her thighs, Ye Wan wiped her pants with her other hand, while wiping, her hand touched a protruding thing in the trouser pocket, it was a necklace given to her by her aunt.Thinking of what her aunt said, Ye Wan realized the importance of this necklace, so she quickly took out the necklace.This is a very heavy platinum necklace, the main weight is on the pendant of the necklace.The pendant is a platinum cylinder with a length of about four centimeters and a diameter of about one centimeter. The body of the cylinder is carved with small flowers and leaflets, and the flower center of the flower decoration is inlaid with small diamonds. The golden diamonds complement each other, making it look extravagant. Ye Wan couldn't figure out what her aunt said when she gave her the necklace, "...if I die too, you have to remember, you must use this necklace to get what belongs to you..." What is the mystery hidden in this necklace? Woolen cloth?What belongs to her?Ye Wan didn't understand, she didn't want to see her aunt die, but there was nothing she could do.Gao Pingying is like a double-edged sword. He is not only the person who finds the murderer, but also the person who punishes the crime.Even if my aunt doesn't want to reveal the past, once the murderer is found, the past will be clear at a glance.Unless both the murderer and the police are dead, Ye Wan thinks this is the best of both worlds, but the choice of death is not in her hands, and she is not someone who can control death, she does not have the courage and murderous intent.
