Chapter 383 Fairy Tale and Rabbit Penguin Dog

Li Yao's words made Zheng Xun sit up from the bed.

"What was damaged?"

he asked.

Li Yao's side seemed to be in chaos. The sound of leather shoes on the floor came from the receiver, and there was even the sound of glass shards.

"Mr. Li, what's wrong with your family?"

"I just got home after working overtime. When I opened the door, I found that there was a burglar in my house."

Li Yao walked carefully on the floor, counting the damaged items. He didn't ask anyone to sort it out for the time being, but he called the police.

"Some of the valuable things were lost, and many collections were smashed. More importantly, the notebook I wanted to give you is missing."

"Notebook? What notebook."

"It's a novel written by Siming herself. She has a habit of writing. Your name is written on the title page of that book. I think it may be useful to you."

Li Yao discovered this notebook while taking inventory of his relics. Because Zheng Xun was already famous in the White Tower at that time, he immediately remembered it after I called him.

"Mr. Li, I'm going to your house now."

Zheng Xun made a decision immediately, he could not delay any longer.

It's already too late.

Li Yao replied saying yes and sent Zheng Xun his home address.

Fortunately, his home is not far from here and can be reached by taxi.

Zheng Xun went out late at night, called a taxi, and rushed to Li Yao's house in the dark.

When Li Yao opened the door for Zheng Xun, he was still wearing his daytime suit.

He is in his forties, which is older than Zheng Xun imagined. You can't even see it in the news photos. If you get closer, you will find traces of time in the corners of his eyes.

"Please come in."

Li Yao stepped aside and allowed Zheng Xun to come in.

Entering the door is the living room.

The vase on the coffee table was overturned, the pillows on the sofa were tilted, and the floor was full of broken glass, making it a mess.

Zheng Xun frowned and moved cautiously in the chaos.

"Mr. Li, did the surveillance capture anyone?"

Li Yao's cell phone lay flat in his palm, and he handed it to Zheng Xun's eyes.

"The surveillance has been destroyed, not just the surveillance at my home, but even in the community. The other party should have conducted reconnaissance in advance."

"Be prepared? Is there anything unusual at home in the past two days?"

"No," Li Yao shook his head, "The other party did it very carefully."

"Mr. Li has been at home these days?"

"I wasn't there yesterday and the day before yesterday. I was on a business trip these two days. I went home to pack my luggage the day before yesterday. I won't be back until 11 o'clock tonight."

"It seems that the other party has figured out the location and situation last night, or even earlier."

Zheng Xun and Li Yao briefly exchanged a few words, and both of them believed that this was not a simple burglary.

The other party should only be here for the thing that Li Yao wanted to give to Zheng Xun - Ying Siming's notebook.

Li Yao also took Zheng Xun to the place where he had placed his notebook, which was the master bedroom of the house.

He opened one of the single doors of the closet. There was only a cardboard box inside, and now only a few scraps of paper were left.

"Part of Si Ming's relics were placed in this box. They are experimental materials and scratch paper that she didn't use at home. I put them all together to keep them as a thought."

Li Yao took out the box and showed it to Zheng Xun.

"The most important thing here is probably the black-covered notebook. That's the only thing that can still be used."

"What is written on it, can you still recall it?"

Li Yao thought for a while.

"It seems to tell a story."

He restored it to Zheng Xun according to his memory.

"It's a fairy tale about two princes of a country."

Zheng Xun's eyes suddenly widened.

"Could it be... that the king died, and after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he found the lost little prince and locked him up again?"

"That's the story," Li Yao nodded, "but there is a sequel."

"?" This was something Zheng Xun didn't expect, "What's the follow-up?"

"The follow-up is that the little prince was not happy. After repeated attempts, he risked his life and escaped from the palace. With the help of the witch, he turned into a rabbit and found a dog and a penguin on the way. Become his companion.”

Dogs, penguins, rabbits...

"Isn't this the plot of the White Tower Baby?"

"Baby Tower baby...?"

Li Yao showed a puzzled expression, while Zheng Xun was lost in thought.

Although he was surprised, the storybook he saw on the third floor of the mansion was connected with the plot of the White Tower Baby cartoon.

There are companions and villains in the content of this fairy tale. At present, it seems that the villain is the elder prince who is related to the younger prince by blood, his brother.

And his companions are dogs and penguins.

That seemingly childish and curious cartoon actually hides so many secrets.

By the way, Zhao Ran was in the mental hospital and watched that animation over and over...

Did he discover any secrets inside?

Zheng Xun recalled what he had read. To be honest, he could only notice that rabbits were always waving shovels, penguins often got lost, and dogs were often knocked down by bricks that came from nowhere... Apart from these, there was nothing else. Impressed.

Because it was so boring to watch, he fell asleep several times during the process.

"Is there anything else in this notebook?"

Zheng Xun asked again.

Li Yao shook his head.

"There are some details. I can't remember them all, so I can only roughly recount them."

He thought and added.

"Since the other party took this thing away, there must be some valuable evidence hidden in it. It cannot be completely reconstructed based on memory."

Zheng Xun agreed with Li Yao's statement.

And he thought that maybe the person who took the notebook didn't know exactly what the specific clues were, and just wanted to take it back for study.

While the two were talking, the police suddenly came to the door and suspended their conversation.

Li Yao stood up, opened the door, and cooperated with the police to collect evidence.

After he sent them away, he came over to Zheng Xun to continue the conversation.

"What did the police say?" Zheng Xun asked.

"Investigation time is needed and I ask them to do it as soon as possible."

Zheng Xun nodded.

"Mr. Li, can I ask you a few questions about Researcher Ying?"

"sure."

Zheng Xun mainly asked questions around the time when Ying Siming became abnormal. Li Yao sat on the bed, recalling his dead wife, with deep pain in his eyes.

"Si Ming is a very good person. Before we got married, she already had many halos."

This was Li Yao's first comment when he mentioned his wife.

"She has an independent mind and a strong heart. We have the same views and never quarrel. Everything can be discussed."

Originally, Li Yao thought that the couple would always grow old together like this, but a change happened.

At first, when his wife said there were signs of intruders at home, Li Yao was only worried about her safety and did not expect that this was just a small beginning.

But soon, as Ying Siming placed more and more cameras at home, Li Yao gradually realized that something was wrong.

He didn't know what his wife wanted to do. Every time he asked her with concern, Ying Siming always looked complicated.

He could feel that the other party wanted to talk to him, but for some unknown reason, his wife's conversation came to nothing every time.

Li Yao felt powerless. He wanted to help his wife, but he could no longer enter her world.
