Chapter 2: Bronze Rings

Grandpa is an old policeman, and he is very calm when he encounters things, even if my mother died ten years ago, grandpa is not as anxious or even a little panicked on the phone now, I feel something is not good, maybe my situation is very good, grandpa knows, and it is very dangerous, so grandpa showed such abnormal emotions.

I rode my motorcycle to the warm community, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

More than two months ago, my ex-girlfriend 'Li Tong', when my girlfriend was still a guest at my grandfather's house, I was twenty-six years old, and it was also when I was talking about marriage, my parents died early, naturally this marital status, my grandparents were in charge, often urging me, especially my grandmother's nagging, I really couldn't stand it, so I took Xiaotong to my grandfather's house.

At noon that day, we had a very pleasant meal together, after the meal, grandpa has the habit of taking a nap, now Beijing in February and March is not like before, the weather is getting hotter, so, the month of napping is advanced, Xiaotong chatted with grandma, I had to go to grandpa's study to read.

However, I am not very interested in books such as literary and historical records, but I am interested in criminal investigation and reasoning, so I looked for books on the bookshelf, and finally, at the top of the bookshelf, I saw a stack of books, pulled a stool, and went to turn over the books on it, but I didn't expect that behind the stack of books, there was a small iron box, the kind of iron lunch box before, I looked familiar, thought hard, and knew that it was actually the lunch box that my mother had used, and it was useless at that time, so I took it and loaded it.

My mother has been dead for ten years, and I suddenly thought of the years with my mother, although it was not very good, but my mother's warmth and love are not something that others can give, even if my grandparents love me, it is also different from my mother's love.

I took it down and opened the box, and there was a satin-wrapped thing in it, and there were some letters pressed underneath, and I didn't look at the letters, but I took the thing wrapped in satin, which was not tied with thread, and easily opened it, and inside was an earthy yellow bronze ring, which was said to be bronze, but there was a lot of dirt like sand sticking to it, and it seemed to be very tight, and it was sticking to it.

I rummaged through it, looked at it, and found that this bronze ring should have been carefully cleaned by the minifigures, but it may be cultural relics and antiques or other objects, and I didn't dare to clean it in any other way, there are many potholes.

At this time, the door suddenly creaked open, I looked up, it was my grandfather who suddenly opened the door, I don't know why there was cold sweat on my forehead, and my face was a little panicked, and I hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Having a nightmare? ”

Before I could finish speaking, my grandfather's face suddenly changed drastically, and he almost pounced and yelled, "Who told you to touch this?" ”

I was startled, and I hurriedly tried to put it on the satin, but with an oops, my finger was cut by some pits in the bronze ring, and blood seeped out.

Grandpa's face changed completely, and he pounced, picked up a book, snapped, and hit my hand, knocked off the bronze ring in my hand, fell to the ground, and made a jingle sound, but in Grandpa's eyes, it seemed to be the voice of the devil.

He snatched the silk from my hand in horror and muttered to himself, 'Who made you move, who made you move?' What a sin! Grandpa's voice was a little small, I couldn't hear it clearly, and I asked Grandpa, what's going on? Isn't that my thing?

Grandpa didn't pay attention to me at all, as if he was very afraid of the bronze ring, he folded the silk several layers, and then picked up the bronze ring on the ground, wrapped it in several layers, stuffed it in an iron lunch box, closed it heavily, and opened the iron cabinet in the study, locked it tightly, and then stood up, and without explaining to me, he raised his hand and gave me a slap, which was not small.

I was blindsided on the spot, my face was full of grievances and doubts, so I asked my grandfather again: "What secrets are in this iron lunch box that can't be moved?" Isn't that my thing? ”

Grandpa's face was cold, he grabbed my hand, and when he saw my bleeding finger, he squeezed desperately, and the blood fell down dripping, and it hurt me to scream, but grandpa didn't explain to me at all, and pulled me, grandma and Xiaotong chatted in the living room, and when I saw grandpa pulling me, the atmosphere was very wrong, grandma hurriedly grabbed Xiaotong, shook her head at her, don't go now.

I was dragged directly by my grandfather to the hospital, and I came directly to take a blood test, or the dean who my grandfather knew personally came to draw blood for me, and directly drew the blood from the wound of my fingers, and the blood vessels next to it, and the pain made me sweat out, but I found that my grandfather was still sweating, and his face was full of fear and anxiety, however, when I asked my grandfather, he didn't tell me anything.

It wasn't until I got the test report the next day that I was relieved to see my grandfather, however, I never knew what my grandfather was worried about. At this time, I asked my grandfather again, but he still didn't say it, but scolded me fiercely, and he was not allowed to move things around in his study.

Although I have been a police officer for many years, after all, I am only twenty-six years old, young and vigorous, and I don't like my grandfather's pretending to be confused and not telling me, which makes me very annoyed, so I left angrily, and I haven't been to my grandfather's house once for more than two months, but my grandmother often calls me to ask me, but unfortunately, grandpa never asked me once.

In the past two months, too many things have happened, first I started to have nightmares, and then, my temper became weird, and the amount of food increased, so I quarreled with Xiaotong for three days and two ends, and as a result, we broke up.

I feel that my strange situation is related to the bronze ring in the iron box, grandpa went to my house this time, and made so many phone calls, it seems that grandpa must know about my situation, it may be time to solve my doubts.

I couldn't help but increase the throttle, and soon returned to the warm community, came to the third floor, saw the door hidden, hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw grandpa sitting in the living room with a cold face, on the coffee table in the living room, there was a mother's iron lunch box, and I had a pimple in my heart, and it was really related to this iron lunch box.

I closed the door and wanted to boil water and make tea for my grandfather, but he waved his hand and asked me to sit opposite him, and suddenly sighed as if resigned to his fate, pushed the iron lunch box in front of me, and said, "Xiaofeng, haven't you always wanted to know how your mother died?" The box contains the letter she left you on her deathbed, now is it time for you to know a little bit about your mother? ”

My fingers shook, now I don't dare to touch the iron lunch box, everything that happened to me is related to it, it seems to be a taboo, but my brain is too confused and afraid, I still took out the letter in the iron lunch box, looked at it, but my face gradually became difficult to see.
