Chapter 63 The guest arrives

The security guard inserted the key into the keyhole, and with just a slight twist, the bronze villa door opened.

After staying in a dark environment for too long, the bright light suddenly irritated Jian Yan's eyes.

"Hey, it's really big here," the security guard in black pushed open the door and said with emotion, "These are rich people, they are different from us ordinary people."

Jian Jian was a little surprised by his words, and he asked casually: "You haven't come in before?"

"Of course." The security guard waved his hand and replied naturally, "My boss has specifically ordered that no one can come in without his permission. In our line of work, the most important thing is integrity. Of course we won't do what we promised."

Breach of contract."

Jian Yi nodded slightly. He stood at the entrance and looked around. Judging from the posture, the area of ​​​​the villa was larger than he imagined.

As soon as they entered the door, they were faced with a spacious restaurant. In the center of the restaurant was a round table covered with a light blue tablecloth. There was a four-wheel dining cart next to it, and it was surrounded by classic wooden chairs with backrests.

No more, no less, exactly eight.

Walking further inside is the kitchen, with faucets, chopping boards, and a refrigerator. The floor is as clean as a wash, and it's obvious that someone has specially cleaned it.

To the right of the door is the living room of the villa, which is fully equipped with sofas, coffee tables, and LCD TVs. Behind the sofa is a row of mahogany bookshelves. I briefly went up and took a look. Most of them were collections of novels about detective reasoning.

"I heard on the phone that someone will be here later. I'll go outside and keep watch. You can rest here first. If you need anything, just call me." The security guard stood behind him and waved, then turned and left.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Name?" The security guard stopped and thought for a moment, but still didn't say the reason. "To be honest, I have forgotten my name a long time ago. People usually call me security guard. You take the word security guard as your name?"

Just my name is fine, just call me if you need anything."

After that, he turned around and left, closing the door of the villa at the same time.

"Another person whose name I can't remember, but it looks like he is hiding something..." Jian Yi pondered for a moment, then stood up from the sofa. He looked at the coffee table in front of him. The apples and grapes in the fruit plate still had some moisture.

, it is impossible to say that no one has come in and changed it.

If it is true as the security guard said, no one has entered the house for three days, even in winter, the apples should be a little shriveled.

Of course, no one in the world would sneak in just to change the fruit plate, so there is only one possibility left: the security guard is lying.

Jian Jian picked up the candy on the edge of the fruit plate and looked at it, but still didn't dare to swallow it. Just like the security guard said, in the barren mountains and wild mountains, they might poison you to death.

"Is the staircase going upstairs so obvious..." He put down the candy and continued walking to the right side of the living room. There was a blank floor covering an area of ​​about 40 square meters, and at the end was the staircase leading upstairs.

stairs.

The decoration beside the stairs is much more luxurious than that of Ye Zhai in the previous script, with gold rim and silver base, and a few blue diamonds inlaid on the edge. I don't know whether they are real or rhinestones.

The layout here is somewhat similar to that of Ye Zhai. You cannot see the things on the second floor from the first floor. A wall of ceiling completely separates the two floors. Judging from the lights shining on the stairs, all the lamps on the second floor are also covered.

opened.

For personal safety reasons, Jian Yan did not explore further. Since he had seen the footprints and the dried railings when he climbed in through the fence, there were probably other people hiding in the villa.

Even if he had a gun handed over from Yang Ye, there was no guarantee that he would be able to defeat the sneak attacker in the dark.

"Click..."

Not long after Jian Yi returned to the sofa, the door to the villa was opened again. He looked around and saw a girl standing at the entrance, looking at this unfamiliar environment.

The girl was wearing a white coat and round-rimmed glasses. She looked pretty. She was carrying an iron box with a red cross on her left hand and a large suitcase in her right hand. She dragged them to the living room with great effort.

, sat down and took a breath.

"Female, 26 to 27 years old, 1.71m tall, weighing about 54kg, probably a doctor by profession," Jian Yi said casually, "The dominant hand is the right hand, and she has the habit of eating desserts..."

"Huh? Were you talking to me just now?" The girl put her luggage on the ground, raised her head in surprise and said, "You just said your height..."

"I didn't say anything," Jian Yi denied innocently, "Maybe you heard me wrong?"

He changed the topic and said, "But I do have something to ask you just now... Are you also a guest invited by the owner of the village?"

"Uh..." The girl was a little surprised by the simple and abrupt question. She reacted for a moment, then shook her head and said: "I am not a guest, I am a long-term doctor hired by the owner of the village. Here, look at these luggage."

Speaking of this, the girl paused and said with some confusion: "But I just talked with the security guy at the door. He said that no one was staying in the villa recently, and I was confused as to why he invited me over. Then come here."

What’s the reason? Also, what’s your name?”

"I am a guest he invited, and I am also a...chef." Jian Yi randomly found a familiar profession and fooled her identity, "As for my name..."

He then replied: "My name is Yang Ye. I usually work as a taxi driver, and sometimes I also work part-time as a cook."

After saying that, he stared at the other person's expression, wanting to observe her reaction.

The girl nodded, as if she didn't feel anything was wrong. She picked up the apple on the table and took a bite without any suspicion, and then said, "My name is Chen Zibai."

Jian Yi still didn't touch any of the food on the table. He picked up the remote control and turned on the LCD TV hanging on the opposite wall, which slightly eased the awkward atmosphere between the two.

【This is...】

As a burst of current flowed through, the LCD screen flashed and then lit up.

[Evening weather forecast for city x on February 29th, hello everyone, I am the host Yu Buyun.]

[According to the latest news, a large-scale snowfall will occur around 11 pm today. In order to prevent the cold wave from coming, all viewers need to put on clothes in advance and close the doors and windows tightly to avoid unnecessary trouble. 】

[As for the snowfall situation, our reporters will continue to report for you.]

"Is it going to snow?" Chen Zibai threw the clean apple core into the trash can. "Snow is not common in X city. I only saw it once many years ago, but I really can't remember it."

Jian Yi nodded in agreement, and then stood up: "That's true...wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."
