Chapter 165: Mysterious Suitcase
On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of homes are lit up, families of all ages and children sit together to celebrate reunion, and the TV stereo in several families is very large, and the sound of the Spring Festival Gala can be faintly heard.
The car stopped in front of an old residential building, and Miyakai looked out and said, "It should be here, right?" ”
Liu Chuanfeng got down from the passenger seat, the cold wind was biting outside, and there was already light snow in the sky.
Liu Chuanfeng wrapped his clothes tightly and said, "Are you sure?" Do you know which one it is? ”
Gong Hai said noncommittally: "It should be here, I've been here a few times before, but it's all during the day, and it looks a little different at night." ”
The two walked into the dark corridor and climbed up in the dark. The lighting on the first floor was broken, and there was no light until the second floor, and when he climbed to the third floor, Gong Hai stood in front of a family: "It's here, Sister Zhou's family lives here." ”
Gong Hai knocked lightly on the door twice, but there was no sound inside.
"No one at home?" Miyakai asked in confusion.
Liu Chuanfeng stepped forward and knocked on the door twice, he was a little anxious, it took them more than an hour to drive here on the way, and now his mother was with that man at home, he was a little worried.
I don't know what my mother asked him to take, so I have to catch the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have to come with two people.
Gong Hai listened to the door, there was a sound of rustling in the room, and after a while, the light inside turned on, and a woman's voice asked, "Who?" ”
"I, Gong Hai, Sister Zhou."
Doctor Zhou opened the door a crack, saw Gong Hai standing outside the door, and asked curiously, "Come here so late, is there anything going on over there with Xiao Wang?" ”
"No, no, Wang Juan is fine now, she asked me to come over to pick up something, saying that it was deposited with you - I came with Liu Chuanfeng."
Gong Hai said and pulled Liu Chuanfeng's arm, Liu Chuanfeng stood in front of the door, and said embarrassedly: "Hello Doctor Zhou, Happy New Year." ”
"Oh, Xiao Liu! Good New Year, when did you come back? “
Dr. Zhou had met Liu Chuanfeng in the hospital, so he knew him, and hurriedly opened the security door and said, "Come in first, it's cold outside, right?" ”
Liu Chuanfeng and Gong Hai walked into the house, and the two found that Dr. Zhou was alone in the house.
Gong Hai looked around and said, "For the New Year, Sister Zhou slept so early?" ”
Dr. Zhou smiled and said, "I'm going to be on duty all night at night, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on in the second half of the night, so I'll lie down and make up for sleep first, you wait, I'll go get something." ”
Sister Zhou went into the back room, and Liu Chuanfeng asked Gong Hai in a low voice: "Is she alone in Dr. Zhou's house?" ”
Gong Hai also whispered: "Dr. Zhou's husband is also working in the hospital, it is estimated that he is also on duty at this time, these years, it is not easy to be a doctor, and other companies and units are on holiday during the New Year, so they have to go to work as usual." ”
Liu Chuanfeng stood in front of the table and saw a family photo on the wall, in the photo frame, Dr. Zhou's amiable face, next to a middle-aged man with black-framed glasses and a serious face, the two sat side by side, and behind him stood a petite girl, blinking at the camera and sticking out her tongue.
"This little girl is Sister Zhou's daughter, studying in the UK, and it is estimated that she will not have time to come back for the Chinese New Year." Gong Hai said softly beside him.
"Oh, Xiao Wang's box of things has been here for more than half a year, and it has been pressed at the bottom of the cabinet all the time, and I almost forgot if you didn't come today." Dr. Zhou said as he walked out with a small brown leather suitcase.
Liu Chuanfeng looked at the size-sized suitcase in her arms, this box should be some years old, and the leather wrapped in the outer layer was already a little dark. Judging by the texture, the box must have been carefully maintained, and the surface exudes a faint luster.
This small suitcase looks like a women's jewelry box, and although the style is old, it should have been a very fashionable thing back then.
"What's in there?" Gong Hai took the box and felt heavy in his hand.
Doctor Zhou shook his head: "I don't know, Wang Juan said when she handed it to me, if she has any ...... She asked me to hand over this box to Liu Chuanfeng in person. ”
Doctor Zhou looked at Liu Chuanfeng as he spoke, but he didn't say that half a sentence.
Liu Chuanfeng's heart sank, and he took the box from Gong Hai's hand, he knew that there would be nothing valuable in it.
The situation at home is clear to both mother and son, in order to pay off the debt, the mother sold all the things that can be sold, and there is nothing valuable left, why does she regard this box so important?
