Chapter 59: The Secret in the Iron Box
Summer 1988
In the sweltering night, lightning pierced the dark night, and the dull thunder continued to sound, and in a short time the raindrops the size of beans fell to the earth, and in an instant turned into a downpour.
A thin young man hurried across the road into the central hospital, and although he ran fast, he was drenched in the rain in an instant.
The brain surgery duty room was banged.
The man inside opened the door, and when he saw the knocker outside, he looked out and let the young man into the house.
The people who came in looked panicked and soaked, their faces couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears, and their lips trembled.
"Tang Hao, your legs? Is your leg okay? What's wrong? What happened? ”
"Doctor Shen, I, I killed someone!"
Dr. Shen shuddered, "What did you say?" ”
"I can't control myself, I sucked their blood dry!"
Dr. Shen couldn't help but take a step back, and looked over with horror in his eyes...
Quanmin Community
Yuanyou's new house, both bedrooms have south-facing windows, and the kitchen is on the north side, Yuanyou lives in the bedroom where the murder occurred, and he didn't plan to tell his daughter about it.
Yuan Huaxing cleaned up in the bedroom, and she found that there were some cabinet door partitions on both sides of the window frame, which were made of an integrated cabinet connected to the heating cover, which was all the previous decoration.
"What's in these doors?"
Her curiosity drove her over and opened the small cabinet door, revealing that there was something inside, which had been left by the family before.
Yuan Huaxing flipped through it, and it was basically full of medical magazines, as well as some headbands, buttons, and messy things.
This didn't cause much interest, and she took them all out, intending to throw them away.
When she cleared one of the wall cabinets, her hand groped into the innermost part of the room, as if there was still room there.
Yuan Huaxing looked sideways, it was a little dark, and he couldn't see it really.
She picked up the small flashlight and shone it inside, and the deepest part of the room was indeed through another cabinet, and something was stuck there.
It was supposed to be a box, so she reached in and felt something cold, it was a tin box.
Yuan Huaxing was pleasantly surprised, "What could this be?" Thinking about it, she grabbed it with her hand and took it out.
Half of the tin box seemed to be stuck inside, and my hands were sore from scratching, and I couldn't pull it out with a lot of effort.
"How did this get in, it's so hard to pull."
Looking at the things that had not been cleaned up, Yuan Huaxing felt that he would come to get this box after he was busy.
So she went on to do something else.
At this time, Yuanyou placed the incense position of the ancestor Guiguzi.
The furniture shifted again, and then the bedding and sheets were laid out in his bedroom.
By the time it was almost time to clean up, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Before he was busy with dinner, Yuan Huaxing cooked instant noodles and laid two poached eggs, and Yuan You turned on the TV. The TV in the old home is still the small TV in the past,Now it's replaced by a large color TV,It's good to watch.。
When Yuan Huaxing put the hot noodles in front of his father, he looked at the new home again, and then ate it with satisfaction.
"Dad, there is a box in the unopened wallcabinet in my house, you can help me deduct it later, it is stuck, and I can't take it out at all."
"Box? What box? ”
"I guess it was left by the people in this room before, and I think there must be something interesting in it."
"You, your curiosity will be so heavy, I'll get it for you when I'm done eating."
When Yuan Huaxing went to wash the pot, Yuan You reached out in the cabinet in her room and pulled the iron box.
It seems that this box is bigger than it touches, and some of it is stuck somewhere, but it can't be figured out.
How did you get this in? Yuanyou looked at the position from the outside and touched the wooden board outside with his hand.
Pushing back and forth, he found that it was a little loose, this layer of wooden planks was alive, he pushed it out, and the moving board was pushed aside.
Yuanyou saw that a groove had been dug in the wall next to this partition, and a tinplate box was placed inside.
He took the box out, dusted it off, and opened the lid.
There were a few things in the box, and at the top was a new-looking notebook, which he picked up, and below it were a few photographs, and a hard plastic card with an icon drawn on it, and a few numbers, and nothing else.
Yuanyou put the notebook aside, picked up the photo at the bottom and looked at it.
The photo at the top is a man holding a girl with pigtails, and the photos in the back are basically taken by the same little girl in different scenes, and this little girl may be eleven, twelve, or thirteen years old.
Who could be this person? Could it be the doctor surnamed Shen? Yuanyou had a strange premonition, he put down the photo and slowly opened the notebook.
When he saw the words at the beginning of the first page, the name that stood out in his eyes made him gasp.
He steadied himself and flipped down, the contents of which were like a vibrator, making his brain buzz,
He snapped the notebook shut.
Yuanyou frowned, couldn't help touching his forehead, sorted out his thoughts, and returned to his bedroom with his notebook.
Yuan You sat on the bed with the notebook, Yuan Huaxing returned to his bedroom after washing the dishes at this time, there was an iron box on the desk, and her father was not in this room, she walked into the room, and when she looked around, she saw that her father was looking at something seriously.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Yuanyou was still focused on the book, and when he heard his daughter talking, he pulled him back to reality.
"Huh? I didn't do anything, I'm studying something, you're tired too, so let's sleep! ”
"The tin box on the table is taken out like that? Did you read it inside? ”
"Well, just those things, you put them away first, go ahead!"
Yuan Huaxing noticed that his father was a little strange, but he couldn't be disturbed, so he had to go back to his room obediently.
The iron box on the table, Yuan Huaxing flipped through it, just a few photos and a plastic piece, there was a rudder-like logo in the middle of the plastic sheet, and it was written cubb428 in the lower right corner, she was a little disappointed, and then picked up the photo and looked at it.
To be honest, there is always a weird feeling when I look at a photo of a stranger.
But in the photo of the man holding the child, the little girl must be pampered and smiling brightly. The other photos are supposed to be taken when the girl grows up.
Looking at it, Yuan Huaxing scratched his nose and thought, "Have you been face blind recently, no matter how you look at whom, this little girl looks very familiar, who does she look like?" ”
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of it, so I simply put it back, opened my photos, took out the photos of Chen Xiao, and looked at them carefully.
After about half an hour, Yuanyou closed the notebook again, this time his face was even more solemn and he frowned.
Some of the things mentioned in the notes turned out to be related to him.
He stood up and went to the door to get dressed.
"Huaxing, I'll go out for a while, go to your Uncle Luo's for something, you sleep first, leave me alone."
Yuan Huaxing blinked and responded.
Luo Baifan was sitting on the sofa and soaking his feet, someone knocked on the door, he wiped it casually, and saw from the cat's eye that it was Yuanyou outside the door, and quickly opened the door.
"Old Yuan?"
Yuanyou walked in with a notebook in his hand and without saying a word.
"What's wrong, Lao Yuan?"
"Guess what I found?"
"What?"
"This is Shen Huiyan's note."
"Shen Huiyan? The original owner of that house? ”
"Our guess is not wrong, this person is the doctor Shen that Tang Hao said."
Luo Baifan was a little confused, "What? What do you mean? ”
"Shen Huiyan, the person who disappeared in 1988, Shen Li's father, Dr. Shen in Tang Hao's mouth, do you understand?"
The amount of information is a bit large, and Luo Baifan is still a little confused.
"This note was written by Shen Huiyan, and it talks about Tang Hao, and there is a shocking secret in it."
Luo Baifan finally figured it out, "Where did you find it?" ”
"My family is where Shen Huiyan used to live. He hid it in a dark compartment, which I found when I was cleaning up my family. ”
"I'll see." As he spoke, Luo Baifan gently opened the notebook.
On the blank page in front of the notebook, the three words Shen Huiyan are written.
Then Luo Baifan flipped over.
The pen font on the page is smooth, and it is very good-looking.
Luo Baifan's gaze fell on those words.
"The reason why I have decided to write this now is because a person came to me today, his name is Tang Hao.
How did you know this person, this has to start from 1974.
I was in Hong Kong for a week, and I was introduced to someone who was selling an object, and I didn't think it was an antique, but it attracted me deeply, and there was a small stone next to it, and I thought it was a meteorite.
I've always had a soft spot for such new and weird things, so I quickly contacted him, and this person was Tang Hao.
He was not very old, he lacked a sense of openness, and there was another gloomy temperament, but these were not the reasons why I remembered him.
What he sold me was a red and black hexagonal stone plate, and what impressed me was that when he handed it over, he put on gloves, and I asked him why he wore gloves, and his answer was obviously perfunctory, and his accent was actually the taste of my hometown, East District.
I was tempted to ask him more, but he didn't seem willing to reveal anything more, and was about to turn his face, so I guessed he might be a thief and I might have bought stolen goods.
As it turned out, my guess was right.
However, at the time, I was obsessed with this hobby of collecting, so I didn't pay much attention to whether the things I bought were clean.
After a week in Hong Kong, I returned to Germany with the hexagonal stone plate and put it on my shelf.
I never thought that years later, this thing that I was about to forget would be able to draw me into a battle of right and wrong, and finally turn into a disaster.
Autumn 1985.
I noticed it again when I was moving to pack up my collection in Munich.
This stone plate is red and black throughout, with six slightly convex edges, as if formed naturally, and there is no pattern on the front and back.
It's because there are no artificial traces that I think it's special.
When I was picking it up, I accidentally put it in the darkroom where I was washing my photos.
Under the illumination of the green safety lamp, there was a faint pattern on the back of the stone plate, which was a pattern of many points coming together, looking a bit like a star map in the night sky, and looking like a spot from a distance, I redefined it, I think, this stone plate must have its extraordinary origin.
But because I don't know the source, so it has become a mystery, what is it used for, I can't study it, its texture is very good, it looks and feels, like a stone, so I specially asked a foreign friend who is engaged in scientific research to take it to their laboratory to help me test what the composition of this stone plate is.
When the test results came out, we were all surprised, because this thing was neither stone nor metal, it was an unknown substance that had not been found on earth, and it was very dense.
If it's not earthly, then where does it belong? Why did it fall into the earth again, is it related to the pattern on its back?
While I was still speculating about its mysterious origin, some unknown people outside somehow spied on this information.
At that time, some institutions in Germany seemed to have something to do with the remnants of the Nazis, and they were crazy to get it, and although I refused, I could feel that things were going to develop out of control.
It's not the first time I've just kept it in a safe place when someone breaks into my home and not only does it search every corner, but it even destroys and steals other items on my shelves, leaving a threatening note.
Although my wife has passed away a long time ago, I have a lovely daughter, and I think if we stay there, I am afraid that our lives will be threatened!
So I made a decision to return to China for development.
