"Hello, may I ask, can I store things here?" Chu Xiaoxiao stood at the front desk and asked politely.

The staff member standing in front of the stage nodded, pointed to a place on the west side with a large cabinet behind him, and said, "Over there." ”

"Okay, thanks. Chu Xiaoxiao nodded politely, and then walked towards the position pointed by the staff just now. Li Qin followed behind Chu Xiaoxiao and walked over.

When I walked to the place full of large cabinets, I saw an old man lying on a recliner with his back against the big iron cabinet, squinting and taking a nap.

"Hello" Chu smiled and greeted, but the old man ignored her.

"That, master, you..."

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't finish speaking, only to hear Mandarin mixed with an accent pop out of the mouth of the "asleep" old man: "What's noisy? What are you doing?!"

The old man's tone was very tough, Chu Xiaoxiao took out Sun Lianfang's notebook from his bag, turned to the last page and put it in front of the counter, "Uncle, look at this." We're here to pick up something. ”

"You female doll, if you put it so far, Lao Tzu can't see it. Really!" the old man lay on the chaise longue without the slightest intention of sitting up.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Qin, Li Qin took the notebook in Chu Xiaoxiao's hand and threw it towards the old man. But what I didn't expect was that the old man actually caught it, and it happened to be spread out on the last page.

The old man opened his eyes and glanced around, frowning, "Well, Lin Xiaojing." Hey, girl, what's your name?" asked the old man, looking at the line of address on the paper.

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't react and was stunned for a moment, and when she realized that the other party was asking herself, Chu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Chu Xiaoxiao." ”

"Chu Xiaoxiao, Chu Xiaoxiao! Chu Xiaoxiao. Okay, you wait. After the old man said Chu Xiaoxiao's name three times in a row in a different tone, he stood up, and Li Qin saw that the old man had a large set of keys pinned to his waist.

The old man's thin, swarthy hands counted the cabinets from one cabinet to another, then found A24 and opened it with the key. Li Qin and Chu Xiaoxiao, who were standing outside the counter, became a little excited after seeing the iron box inside. The old man took out the box and put it on the counter, then returned to the chaise longue, closed his eyes and continued to doze.

The old man's move made the two very puzzled, and when Chu Xiaoxiao picked up the box and was about to leave, the old man opened his mouth and whispered again: "Chu Xiaoxiao? ”

"Hmm, uncle, did you just call me?" Chu Xiaoxiao heard the old man call her, but it seemed that she said something after shouting, but when Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked the old man again, the old man's faint snoring ran out of the thin lips again.

Seeing that the old man didn't pay attention to himself anymore, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't ask anything anymore, but walked to the window with Li Qin and went through the corresponding procedures, and then walked out of the bank with the box.

When I got back home, it was already half past seven in the evening. Chu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa in a daze holding the box, and Li Qin walked into the kitchen to cook. About twenty minutes later, Li Qin walked out with two plates of dishes, while Chu Xiaoxiao was still staring at the box in a daze.

"Open it and take a look. Li Qin put the dishes and chopsticks on the coffee table and reached out to take the box away. But Chu Xiaoxiao hugged the box and pouted and looked at Li Qin. She looked like a little girl who was afraid of being robbed of her beloved teddy bear.

Li Qin shook his head and pointed to Chu Xiaoxiao's side, "Put it down first, eat first." ”

"Old man Li, what do you say is in there?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the box on the side, the chopsticks in his hand were unscrupulously tinkering in the bowl.

Li Qin picked up his chopsticks and gently tapped Chu Xiaoxiao's head with the end of the chopsticks. "Ah, old man Li, what are you doing!" Chu Xiaoxiao covered the top of his head and looked at Li Qin with a dissatisfied expression.

Li Qin pointed to the box, "If you want to open it, open it and see it." Sister Sun asked you to pick it up, which means that the things inside have a lot to do with you. Open it up and take a look. ”

"But..."

"What's there? Maybe there's a message from your grandmother. Open it. Li Qin didn't seem to be in a hurry, but in fact, he had already wanted to open the iron box when it first appeared in front of him, but Chu Xiaoxiao had been holding it tightly in his arms.

Chu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Li Qin and then at the box. The little hand slowly moved to the side of the box and pulled it into his arms.

Li Qin sighed, "Alas, open it quickly." I also want to see what's inside. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded and opened the iron box. The moment the box was opened, the two were stunned, and there was only one alphabet in the box. Next to the alphabet is a red high-heeled shoe.

Chu Xiaoxiao took out the red high heels and looked at them again and again, dangled them twice in front of Li Qin and asked, "Are these the shoes that grandma used when she was young?"

Li Qin shook his head: "Little eye, she doesn't like red. She only has a pair of red shoes. Is that... It wasn't this one she was going to wear to our wedding. Didn't she wear high heels since?"

Chu Xiaoxiao also shook her head, "Grandma just had a pair of high heels, and she took them away, it should be the pair you said." ”

The shoes left them with no clue, and their eyes shifted to the alphabet. It was an alphabet folded up and in a box. Chu Xiaoxiao took out the alphabet and spread it out, and the paper was about the size of A3. The paper was a little yellowed, but it was a copy paper. And on this printed alphabet, there are already a few letters that are not legible.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the alphabet, slumped on the sofa like a deflated ball, and hummed, "Old man Li, what did grandma do before she got married?

Li Qin glanced at Chu with a smile: "When I left, Xiaoyan was selling clothes in a department store. But your grandmother did work undercover at one time. ”

"Ah, grandma sold clothes in department stores when she was young?"

"What do you think?"

"I always thought my grandmother was a fashion designer. ”

"Designers, where do you work as fashion designers?"

"abod," Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly paused, stared at the alphabet again with wide eyes, and poked hard at the missing place on it and shouted at Li Qin: "Eh, old man Li, look at this alphabet, the missing letters."

Li Qin leaned over and looked at the missing letters A, B, D, H, O, and X on the alphabet, and Li Qin narrowed his eyes. It dawned on him that the missing letters on the alphabet were not worn out over time, but had been deliberately erased.

Li Qin pointed to the missing letters on it and said, "If ABOD is a company, then this H and X may be the abbreviation of a person's name." What does it mean... Let you go to this hx. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao thought about it again and again, and suddenly a familiar name popped out of her mind, and Chu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly: "Xu Hua! It's Xu Hua! It's my grandmother's former assistant, Grandma Xu! Her initials are hx!" Chu Xiaoxiao pointed to the h on the alphabet with some excitement.

Li Qin narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Okay, do you know where Xu Hua is now?

Chu Xiaoxiao thought about it and sighed. She just heard her grandmother talk about her former assistant, but no matter how detailed she was, her grandmother didn't give her details.

Li Qin frowned anxiously, "What about the company?"

"That company went bankrupt a few years ago. Alas...... Old man Li, we are back to the starting point. ”

Li Qin was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Not necessarily, maybe we'll know tomorrow." Li Qin said and turned his head to look out the window, he didn't know why, he was eighty percent confident that that person must know!
