Chapter 60: The Tempest (7)
Ariana rummaged through the cabinets, sweating profusely.
She's looking for that diary...... There is no evidence that Zhao Gao would have kept his own diary here, and if it hadn't been for the fact that she had heard Zhao Mu mention it, Ariana wouldn't even know that Zhao Gao would write a diary. The only thing that convinced Anna that it was here was her intuition, the girl's instincts were always sharp and accurate, and she could always smell something unusual in the air.
This is also confirmed by another fact...... The door to this room is not locked.
There are generally two keys to the door of the personnel dormitory in the academy, one is in the hands of the colonel, and the other is in the hands of the owner of the room, Zhao Mu has been dead for four years, no one knows where the key in her hand is, and now it seems that someone should have kept the key all the time and entered this room.
Anna opened the desk drawer, the drawer was full of clutter, a large "English-Chinese Dictionary" took up most of the space, there was a stack of blank notebooks next to the dictionary, and some inexplicable knick-knacks, two thumb-sized ceramic rabbits, a crystal bracelet, and a few pens and gel pens stuffed in the gaps of the drawer, Ariana did not rummage through the girl's relics, she shook her head and closed the drawer.
The wardrobe was equally full, with dark padded jackets and coats hanging in rows, light clothing such as shirts and underwear stacked and stacked underneath, and colorful socks and headbands, and Ariana reached into them, groping around the corners and finding no diary.
She stood up on tiptoe and touched the top of the closet, again finding nothing.
The room was clean, there was not a single trace of dust, and it stands to reason that a room that had been vacant for four years should have been covered with a layer of dust, but Anna's fingers on the top of the wardrobe were clean and spotless, which showed that someone came to clean it often, and that person cleaned it with great care, and all the furnishings were left untouched.
The girl sat on the floor against the foot of the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
Damn it...... Where exactly is his diary?
What did that girl tell herself?
"Brother Zhao Gao's diary ......" Ariana closed her eyes and recalled, subconsciously repeating Zhao Mu's words softly, "It's well hidden, it's very tight, it's hard to find ......"
Sister Anna, do you know? Brother Zhao Gao actually writes a diary, but he hides the diary very well, and it is so tightly hidden that ordinary people can't find it...... But I found it.
Where to hide?
Wardrobe topped?
Wrong.
In the mezzanine of the drawer?
Wrong.
Dark Ridge under the bed?
Not right either.
Damn it...... Ariana opened her eyes, gritted her teeth and shook her head, she couldn't remember what the girl told her at that time, she only remembered that the girl did tell herself where Zhao Gao liked to hide the diary, but at that time she didn't listen carefully at all, Anna regretted it a little, she had never been interested in these trivial matters, but who would have thought that after so many years, she would have to follow these trivial things to find clues.
The answer she told herself at the time...... What exactly?
The girl paced back and forth in the room, feeling a little irritated, she realized that she might have passed by a very important clue, Zhao Gao himself disappeared and his life and death were unknown, and the only thing that could explain it all was his diary.
Ariana stood in front of her desk, staring at the smiling face in the photo in a daze, her brain twitched inexplicably, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: these two people looked really compatible, both with hazel eyebrows and eyes.
Zhao Gao and Zhao Mu are the few Asians in the academy, there are only three Chinese in the hummingbird hunting team, among which Luo Cheng is a lonely stuffy gourd, Zhao Gao is a crazy neurotic, Zhao Mu is the only normal person, she has a good relationship with everyone around her, especially with Phoebe, when Zhao Mu is still alive, the two often sleep in the same bed.
Zhao Gao and Zhao Mu are commensurate with brother and sister, but everyone knows that there is no blood relationship between these two people, Zhao Mu said that he was picked up by Zhao Gao, Zhao Mu was six years old that year Zhao Gao was eight years old, the latter learned how to survive in the ruined city very early, the boy was ruthless and ruthless, and did not hesitate to kill other survivors to snatch survival resources, he sneaked between the ruins, avoiding zombies and hunters, just like a skilled hunter walking through the jungle, walking on blood and death, leaving no living mouth under his hands, It stands to reason that such a man would not have pity for anything, but he took in the six-year-old girl.
For Zhao Mu, Zhao Gao is the role of a brother and a father, and that silly girl trusts Zhao Gao almost unconditionally.
So she died.
Ariana lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
Zhao Gao looked down on anyone, so he naturally disdained to be with them, and Anna's understanding of Zhao Gao basically came from Zhao Mu...... The little girl often talks about her brother Zhao Gao, and she also talks about sleeping during the day and at night, sometimes to the point of being bored, for example, Brother Zhao Gao burst the car of the executive department yesterday, and Brother Zhao Gao was called to the office by the colonel again, Brother Zhao Gao blew up the wall of the shooting range with a bazooka, and Brother Zhao Gao did not speak English......
Ariana was stunned, her heart stopped beating, something flashed through her mind like a flash of lightning, and the girl quickly withdrew all her scattered thoughts, and she intuitively realized that her cranky thoughts had touched on some important clue.
The girl pressed her temples lightly, trying to calm her breathing and calm herself, and she began to push back her thoughts one by one.
Brother Zhao Gao burst the car of the executive department yesterday?
No...... Wrong.
Brother Zhao Gao was called to the office by the colonel again?
No...... Not right either.
Brother Zhao Gao doesn't speak English......
The girl was stunned, what is the second half of this sentence?
"Sister Anna, do you know? Brother Zhao Gao didn't speak English at all, but he always put a super large English-Chinese dictionary on the table......"
Ariana jumped up, and all the clues became clear in an instant, it turned out that all the clues were hidden in her memory, and the girl had left it to herself four years ago!
When the fog finally lifted, Anna's eyes widened as she saw the black-haired girl standing at the end of the road smiling.
Ariana pounced on the drawer, pulled out the oversized English-Chinese dictionary, and placed it on the table to open it...... The inside of the dictionary has been hollowed out, leaving just enough space for a diary, two old diaries are stacked on top of each other, one with the owner's name "Zhao Mu" neatly written on the cover, and the other with the name on the cover skewed and bohemian, "Zhao Gao".
