The female supporting role has arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 337 Good Son-in-Law (Fifteen)

After changing his clothes, Ji Ning went out quietly.

She wasn't sure whether Xu Mingzhou would definitely drink that cup of milk, but it was getting late now. Although Xu Mingzhou was not a very good person, he was still pretty good at keeping in good health. He went to bed early and got up early, rarely ate junk food, and paid attention to exercise.

Even if he didn't drink, he was about to go to bed at this time, and the door was shut down again yesterday. According to his face-saving personality, it should be impossible for him to come to pry her door in the middle of the night again.

Ji Ning just arrived at the east gate, walked a few steps forward and saw a person standing in front of the street lamp, it was Liu Cang, which surprised her.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Liu Cang nodded: "I'm afraid it won't be safe at night, I know you live here, so I'll wait at the door."

Ji Ning nodded. Liu Cang investigated Xu Mingzhou's assets, so he naturally knew that she and Xu Mingzhou lived in the next neighborhood, and she came out from the nearest east gate, so it was indeed normal to wait here.

"Let's talk as we walk, I'm going to the house under Xu Mingzhou's father's name, do you remember where it is?"

"Of course!"

Liu Cang naturally remembered, because he was not only investigating, but also went to the field to investigate and take pictures, so he didn't forget where he was so quickly.

Even if it is a first-tier city, the traffic flow at ten o'clock in the evening in winter]'' is not considered to be congested, and I got there in less than half an hour.

"That's the one. After that incident, the housing prices here have plummeted a lot. People who live around these years have all gone the same way. Only some migrant workers who don't know what happened so many years ago chose to rent those old houses, but There are less than five families."

Ji Ning nodded, looking at the place Liu Cang said, but the window was too dark, Ji Ning couldn't see anything from the outside, but he could tell from the surrounding streetlights that the house was old and the surrounding walls were already damaged. Less yellowing signs of fading.

There is no elevator in an old house like Xu Mingzhou's. On the fourth floor, especially the stairs are dark and there is no light at all.

So Liu Cang and Ji Ning turned on their flashlights, they didn't know each other well, so they didn't even have to chat.

The whole journey was silent, without disturbing any of the residents here.

Ji Ning turned off the flashlight when he reached the house under the name of Xu Mingzhou's father on the fourth floor.

Liu Cang stood sideways with awareness, holding up his mobile phone and pointing the light of the lamp at the keyhole.

However, Ji Ning did not take out the keys as he expected, instead he put his hand behind his head, and quickly removed a black one from his hair, the kind of small key that his mother used to pin his hair most often when he was a child. hairpin.

Liu Cang:? ? ?
"Ji, Ms. Ji, who is this?"

Ji Ning didn't even look at him. Instead, he lifted his hands, which had been dropped a lot due to surprise, to a fixed position, making sure that he could see the keyhole clearly. Then he bent down slightly and straightened the hairpin. Tried it in the keyhole.

In her previous life, although she resigned and opened a pet shop, she still couldn't forget the time when she was shackled, so she really spent time thinking about unlocking the lock, but she didn't expect to use it in this life.

Ji Ning was studying the lockpicking here, but Liu Cang behind him was shocked by Ji Ning's actions.

It can't be said that he has followed the rules since he entered the industry, but out of respect for the profession, he has never challenged the bottom line and walked on the edge, so he is confident that there is no way to be grasped.

But today, he had a brain twitch and agreed to sneak over with Ji Ning at night. Who knew that Ji Ning was a person who didn't have a key and planned to pick a lock to enter!

If this was seen or photographed by others, even if he had a mouth, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly!

Prying open an empty room with a married man to be alone at night, if someone said this to him, the first thing in his mind would be to have a secret tryst.

However, he is now a party to this matter.
"opened!"

Before Liu Cang could say anything to stop him, Ji Ning's voice came. Then Ji Ning seemed to have forgotten that the two were very close, and he happened to be curious about how Ji Ning picked the lock, so he bent slightly and moved closer, causing Ji Ning stood up straight like this, and became the qualification to lean in his arms.

There was a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose, unlike the strong perfume smell on some women in his impression, but a very faint fragrance that was easy to ignore inadvertently.

But if you notice, it's not easy to forget.

It was as if a leaf had been thrown down on the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples in the stagnant water.

It's small, but it disappears quickly.

When Ji Ning Qingsi brushed Liu Cang's cheek with a faint fragrance, Liu Cang took two steps back as if startled.

Ji Ning didn't pay attention to his abnormality, but opened the door, turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone, looked at the empty furnishings in the house, and walked in slowly.

Seeing this, Liu Cang suppressed the panic just now, and hastily followed Ji Ning into the house.

When he thought about it, even though what happened to Xu Mingzhou's parents happened more than ten years ago, most women would still be afraid, especially now at night, let alone at night, he could at least give Ji Ning courage by being by his side.

However, Ji Ning was not afraid, instead he carefully looked around.

Seemingly feeling that the light from the phone lock was still too dim, Ji Ning saw the switch on the wall and subconsciously stretched out his hand to press it.

The moment she pressed the button, she remembered the information Liu Cang had shown her. The house had been moved out since Xu Mingzhou graduated from high school, and the water and electricity should be cut off now.

But just as the thought came to him, the lights above his head lit up without warning.

Not only Ji Ning, but even Liu Cang couldn't help being startled. For a while, he couldn't adapt to such a bright light. He couldn't help but close his eyes, and slightly blocked his eyes with his palm.

After getting used to it, he murmured: "Isn't there no one living here? Why is there still electricity? Could it be that Xu Mingzhou has always paid the electricity bill?"

"Look there."

As Ji Ning said, he walked to the front, not far away behind the old sponge sofa, there were cardboard boxes stacked neatly in a corner with a height of one person.

Pausing in his tracks, Ji Ning brushed his fingers over the cardboard box, and said calmly: "There is no dust on it, it should be prepared recently, let's see what it is."

Ji Ning was about to open the cartons, but found that those cartons were sealed with tape, and the words of Huanyu Foods were stamped on those tapes. If they were opened now and the tapes were not sticky, someone would find that the boxes had been opened.

Although he didn't know what was in the box, Ji Ning couldn't help but think of Xu Mingzhou's document, which said to buy some food from Huanyu.

Thinking of this, Ji Ning was not in a hurry to open it to see what was inside. Instead, he looked around the box to see if there was a word indicating what was inside. If it was really something that Yinhua invested in, it would be impossible to go through customs procedures. There is no marking on the outside of the box.
