Mystery

Chapter 44 The Key and the Uninvited Guest

Bai Yiyun is obviously not used to this kind of straight-to-the-point dialogue without pleasantries.

But she was only slightly startled, then smiled kindly at Shen Ke, took out a carved wooden box from her handbag, and pushed it in front of Shen Ke.

"You are like your mother in this regard, you have your own ideas."

"When they engage in archaeology, there are always many restrictions. For example, archaeology does not collect anything. Although she was very young at the time, she is a powerful person who will stand out no matter what time she is."

"There is no one in Nanjiang University who doesn't know Lu Hui. She collects antiques, and sometimes goes to the Antique Street to pick up leaks. This was almost the only thing that was criticized about her at that time."

Bai Yiyun picked up the spoon, stirred the coffee in front of him, and said slowly.

Her voice is very soft, but it has a taste of time, which easily brings people into the past.

"Don't you young people often talk about cyberbullying? It was about the same back then. But Lu Hui never took it to heart, and she didn't explain it until someone saw the antiques she donated in the museum."

Shen Ke heard this and nodded slightly.

In her impression, Lu Hui is indeed like this. The antiques on the antique shelf at home have been replaced one after another, and the ones left are basically broken and cannot be repaired for the time being.

Those that are collected are good, or they have been repaired by her... After a certain amount has been accumulated, she will donate them to the museum.

Spending one's own money for such a useless thing is like a silly bubble in the brain, bubbling out, like a mockery of human nature.But in this world, there really are such people.

In Lu Hui's eyes, those ancient objects were like bright pearls. She couldn't bear to let these things be covered with dust, wander outside or be locked up in a small world at No. 18 Xinghe Road.

They should appear in front of more people, so that more people can feel the weight of Chinese history.

Shen Ke looked at her right hand. Back then, her mother was holding her hand and standing in the museum, saying such words to her.

Lu Hui is a pure and selfless person.

"This carved box was a gift from your mother back then. After she passed away, I put some old things related to her in this box. I want to give you more Appropriate."

Bai Yiyun said, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Shen Ke didn't look at her, but stared at the box for a while, then gently opened it, inside were a few old photos, an old-fashioned watch with a black strap, and a bunch of keys.

On the key is a small goldfish made of hose.

Shen Ke's pupils shrank suddenly, she picked up the bunch of keys, raised her head and looked at Bai Yiyun with burning eyes.

"This is the key to my house, the key to No. 18 Xinghe Road. This goldfish was made up for me by a grandfather who lives near my house, and I hung it on my mother's key chain. How could it be with you?"

Bai Yiyun nodded unhurriedly, "Well, that day was the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. I came back from abroad and brought you a red woolen skirt and chocolates. I asked your mother to come and get them."

"Maybe it's because she was too busy near the end of the year. She seemed a little absent-minded. When she was washing her hands in the bathroom, she forgot her keys and watch at my house."

"Originally, I was going to send it to her, but something delayed it, and then...for so many years, it has been placed here with me."

Shen Ke stared at Bai Yiyun firmly.

She didn't have any unnatural expression, and she looked very calm.

He didn't even feel any displeasure at Shen Ke's impolite staring behavior.

"What do you want for lunch? Their steak is very good, as well as Black Forest cake."

Shen Ke withdrew her gaze, she experienced that day repeatedly in her dream a few days ago.

I clearly remember that I was wearing a red dress that night, and my mother Lu Hui did say that it was a New Year's gift from a friend.

The chocolates were only opened on the night of New Year's Eve, and they were placed on the coffee table with a pile of festive snacks, and she ate a lot.

Before going to bed, my mother specifically told her to brush her teeth well.

So, to get the red dress and chocolates, it should be true.

"Did she say why she was upset at that time?" Shen Ke asked seriously.

Hearing Shen Ke's words, Bai Yiyun randomly ordered a few signature dishes on the menu and frowned.

"You suspect that this has something to do with your mother's case?"

She handed the menu to the waiter and shook her head regretfully.

"I asked about it at the time, but she didn't elaborate, she only said it was a matter of work."

"Shen Ke, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I haven't contacted you for so many years."

Shen Ke picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a big gulp.

There is no milk or sugar added to the coffee, which is bitter and calms people down immediately.

Shen Ke turned her head and looked out the window. The revolving restaurant had already turned to the other side. Looking down from here, it was a big street garden. The vehicles going south and north suddenly shrank into ants.

"Bai..." Before Shen Ke could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

I saw a woman in a long suspender dress and sunglasses walking over with wind, dragging a dejected yellow hair.

She pressed the yellow hair to Bai Yiyun's side, and sat down beside Shen Ke.

"Mom, this is the police officer Shen you mentioned, right! Xiaocheng got into trouble again, and he came to the door, so go and have a look."

Bai Yiyun's face turned pale, and the previous elegance disappeared all of a sudden. She stood up, looked at the little yellow hair next to him, and was relieved to see that there was no injury on his face.

"Shen Ke, I'm sorry, I have something to do at home, so I'll take a step ahead. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Shen Ke nodded lightly and stood up.

That little yellow hair looked familiar.

Bai Yiyun stood up quickly, the high heels hit the ground, and the sound of "duk tuk tuk" was much faster than before.

When the people walked away, the suspender dress stood up and sat where Bai Yiyun had been sitting before.

"Aren't you going with me? Baiyou", Shen Ke said lightly.

The woman named Baiyou opened her eyes wide in surprise, "You know me?"

Shen Ke shook her head, "During the investigation at Xiangyang Hotel, they said that the pattern was drawn by Baiyou, the daughter of Bai Yiyun, the chairman of Baishi Group, when she was three years old."

Baiyou was even more surprised, she gave Shen Ke a thumbs up, "Awesome! I've heard that you are a child prodigy!"

As she spoke, she pulled the steak served by the waiter in front of her, and cut it with a knife without caring about the appetizers. This style of behavior was completely opposite to Bai Yiyun's.

"Don't take my mother's word for it. In fact, she doesn't know your mother very well," Baiyou said, smiling self-deprecatingly, "She is a typical businessman, and she has a purpose in everything she does."

"The Aid Society was established to make connections. Those who can go to Nanjiang University and those who have spare money to help students are all high-quality resources. Back then, I gave you skirts and chocolates. Guess why?"

"I haven't contacted you for so many years, and I contacted you suddenly these two days. Why?"
