81. Photo diary
Lin Ziyi, who returned home, did not have any abnormalities, nor did he immediately rush to find clues, he ate and slept as usual, and Lin Feng and the others did not find anything abnormal. But this is actually waiting for the moment, waiting for the time when there is no one at home. Although there are not many such opportunities, there will always be them, and when there is no one at home, Lin Feng especially likes to lock Lin Ziyi in the house and not let him go out, which also gives him an excellent opportunity.
On this weekend, Sun Tiansheng went out to other temples to practice the Dharma, but Lin Ziyi did not go to Wukong Temple, and sure enough, when he waited for an opportunity, all the family members went out, leaving him alone in the empty room. So he went through all the cabinets, drawers, chests, and so on that he could open, but found nothing. Only a cabinet in the corner of the wall has always been locked with a lock, and it seems that only the key on Bian Jing's body can be opened, and there are indeed some valuables stored inside.
"This cabinet must be opened to take a look, maybe there is some secret hidden in it, such as my adoption certificate!" Lin Ziyi stared at the wooden cabinet in front of him, and said to himself, "Isn't there a spare key?" After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "There should be, if the key on my mother's body is lost, will I still have to pry it open." Well, look closer!"
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and in less than half an hour, he found two sets of keys, and his luck was probably one of them. The task now is to try one by one, and as long as there is, you will definitely be able to open the cabinet. But when it came to the end, he began to retreat again, if this matter is really as Zuo Mengling said, then he is an out-and-out orphan, this is a word that no child wants to hear, and it is an identity that no child wants to have. After all, the word orphan is harsh to any child's ears, and it is too piercing for any child to experience!
After a fierce psychological struggle, the thirst for the truth in his heart, the fearlessness of youth, and the burning flame of revenge, all these together finally conquered fear, even though the truth may be too tragic to accept, he finally resolutely opened the cabinet.
There are not many things in the cabinet, probably the real estate certificate, household registration book, marriage certificate, a few dozen banknotes may have tens of thousands of yuan, Bian Jing's graduation certificate, Lin Yan's appointment letter to become a demon hunter, etc., these are obviously not what he is looking for. He removed the stacked items, revealing a photo album and a notebook pressed down on the bottom. If there really is any useful clue to be found in this cabinet, it must be the photo album and notebook in front of him.
With apprehension, he slowly opened the album, the first few photos were basically Lin Yan and Bian Jing's group photos and wedding photos, and a few photos of Lin Ziyi and Lin Hao when they were children. After Lin Yan was imprisoned and Lin Hao disappeared, Bian Jing was depressed for a long time, but she never looked for a short time after the day on the roof. At first, she often held Lin Hao's photos in a daze, but one day, all the photos of Lin Yan and Lin Hao disappeared.
"It turned out that the photo was hidden in this cabinet by my mother. "Photos can be hidden and not seen, but the people buried deep in the memories cannot be erased in this life.
Continuing to flip back, there are some family photos, and many people who Lin Ziyi does not know begin to appear in the photos. Of course, there are many people he knows, such as Lin Yan, Bian Cheng, Yang Baoguo and others. But in every photo, without exception, there are more or less a few people Lin Ziyi didn't know, and he guessed that these people he didn't know might be those relatives of the Li family who died.
But just looking at the photos, Lin Ziyi couldn't recognize who was Li Yang and who was Lin Yan, except for the image and the shooting time marked in the lower right corner, there was no other information to discern on the photo, but there was a special photo that still caught his attention. It was a group photo of only two people, a man and a woman, two young people about twenty years old, both wearing the uniforms of the Security Bureau, and the boy gently hugged the girl's waist, looking very intimate, and his intuition told him that these two people might be Li Yang and Lin Yan.
Lin Ziyi took the photo and looked at it intently for a long time, he wanted to take the photo away, but he stuffed the photo into his pocket several times, but took it out again, thought about it for a long time, and finally reluctantly put the photo back and continued to look back.
At the end of the album, Lin Ziyi finally saw the relevant proof of adopting him. But even so, the photos and proofs still don't say anything, and the rest can only hope for something else he hasn't seen yet, that is, the notebook that is also pressed down the bottom of the cabinet.
Turning the first page is a diary, the diary was written in the autumn of 1991, but what the diary talks about is what happened on October 25, 1990, that is, what happened on the day of the Li family's accident, Lin Ziyi hurriedly took the Xinhua dictionary and began to read it word by word:
That day, I was alone at the IA City Security Station to investigate the case, and suddenly received a call from Sister Li Hong, who was unprepared, so I could only drive a motorcycle alone to the Dawang Town Railway Station, and start a fierce battle with Murong Chuanyun and others nearby......
Lin Ziyi wiped his tears while reading the diary, which described in detail what happened on the day of the Li family's accident, and at the end of it, Lin Yan's last words before his death were written out, and the final signature was dictated by Lin Yan and recorded by Bian Jing.
"It turns out that October 25th is my birthday, it turns out that my name was obtained by Lin Yan's mother, I am not an orphan, and I have a father named Li Yang who is not dead! Lin Yan's mother, you can rest assured, I will definitely keep in mind your entrustment and get my father and brother back! I will also grow up healthily and be a clean man. However, at the moment, I have not won the three good students, and I don't know when I can get one, which proves that I am as smart as you. In fact, I think it doesn't matter if I take it or not, as long as I'm good enough, what if I can't get it, whether I'm smart or not doesn't need to be proved by three good students. What you said and what you warn, I will definitely take to heart. The ideal you said, I have already set, that is, to practice martial arts, help you take revenge, and then become a powerful demon hunter!"
Secretly made up his mind, Lin Ziyi continued to flip back, and the rest of the diaries were basically some trivial things and some accounts written by Bian Jing, as well as Lin Yan's change of heart. However, Bian Jing's writing was very vague, and Lin Ziyi didn't understand it.
Lin Ziyi speculated that this was written on the night when his father was in prison, and after his grandfather and younger brother disappeared, Lin Ziyi speculated that it was written on the night when he wanted to jump off the building when he first went to school.
"Fortunately, I arrived in time at that time, and Bian Jing's mother didn't jump down, I thought Bian Jing's mother was going up to see the scenery. Hey, I haven't been to the roof for a long time to be in a daze, and when I'm sad, I should go up and blow the wind, and it would be better if I had Qian Ling with me. Hey, why should I ask her to accompany me? Although what I found has proved that what Aunt Zuo said is true, and the course of the matter is already very clear, I always feel that something is wrong, what is wrong?" With a full stomach full of doubts, Lin Ziyi closed the notebook, put it back in its place with the album, and then rearranged the other items in the cabinet as they were.
After putting the key, Lin Ziyi climbed the fence from the backyard to look at the playground in the distance, which is a piece of cake for children who have been naughty since childhood, climbing high and low. Outside the fence is a clearing where a row of bungalows has been demolished and a lawn has been dug up, and the meadow was once a mecca for grasshoppers in the woods, where the GZ Vocational School is preparing to build a new basketball court. After the bungalow was demolished, you can see the boulevard to the west of the teaching building from the backyard of the Lin family, and anyone in the family will definitely pass through the boulevard when they come back from running errands. But he couldn't run too far, or he wouldn't have time to flip back.
Standing on the wall and observing for a long time, Lin Ziyi didn't see anyone coming back, and just as he was about to turn over and go back to the house, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
