Chapter 279: The Archaeologist's Relic
I waved my hand and said to the girl, "Sister, stop for a momentβare you saying that your brother doesn't exist except you?"
"Hmm!"
"What about your parents? What do they say? β
The girl's face changed instantly, and her eyes were a little moist.
"My parents were killed in a car accident a year ago...... Now that I'm the only one left in the house β he's been investigating the car accident for more than a year β I think his disappearance has something to do with it? β
"Car accidents? Isn't the traffic police handling the car accident? β
"The traffic police judged that it was an accident, and the other party drank alcohol and was willing to take full responsibility, but ...... But my brother said that the car accident was man-made, and it was a premeditated murder......"
Hearing this, I have already concluded that this girl has a mental problem, and she doesn't even believe the traffic police's accident responsibility letter, besides, how can it be murder? β
The girl continued: "My brother said that his parents had come to him before the accident, saying that they had a discovery that shocked the world during that field archaeology, and that it would lead to death......
"Archaeology? Your parents are ......"
"They're members of the archaeological team β my brother also studied archaeology, and he graduated from graduate school in the New Year."
All of a sudden, my brain wanted to be electrified, and it had something to do with archaeology!!
After sorting out my thoughts, I continued to ask, "Do you know what your parents found out before the accident?"
The girl shook her head: I don't know! My brother seemed to know something, but he didn't say a word to me, and he was still interested in ...... Deliberately hiding from me. β
I took a deep breath and realized that if the girl in front of me was either mentally ill, it would be ...... It is...... Something very strange happened.
I don't know what happened to her for a while, but this thing must be very weird, weirder than ordinary ghosts and gods.
"Did your brother behave in any way before he disappeared?" I asked again.
"He called me and said...... said that he had found a very important clue, and he might be about to find out the cause of his parents' death. β
"How long has it been since you found out he's missing when he called?"
The girl pondered for a moment: "About three days! In the past three days, I have called him more than a dozen times, but I didn't answer, so I went to the school to look for him, and I ...... This is where I said the strange thing I just said. β
"Hmmm! Okay, you stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse first. β
Taking the pulse is the basic skill of traditional Chinese medicine, Lao Huang taught him before, Beibei's grandfather Lao Su also taught him, and later after his continuous practice and pondering, now it has become a little successful.
"Take the pulse? You...... You don't suspect that I'm mentally ill, do you? β
Listening to her tone, you can judge that someone must have said this about him in the past few days......
"It's not! No! I see that you have a problem with your face, and I want to help you take a look at ......"
"Oh! I'm fine...... Maybe it's just a little tired......"
The girl stretched out her hand suspiciously, her fingers were like onions, her nails were as clear as jade, and a red rope was tied around her arms and wrists, and her skin was fair.
For a moment, I was a little distracted, and it wasn't until the girl glared at me that I quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
The girl blushed and looked down at me no more.
In fact, I wanted to check the pulse to see if there was any abnormality in the girl's spirit, and if there was no abnormality, I decided to help her.
The girl's pulse was largely the same β except maybe a little ......
"Am I alright?"
"Hmmm! Have you recently ...... I've been menstruating a little irregularly lately, right? β
"You ???"
The girl's face flushed instantly, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Still have menstrual cramps? - Don't be embarrassed, I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner. β
"Oh! You...... You're right, especially in the last few years...... It hurts so much every time that I come back to life......"
"You may have been unaware of the incident and caught a cold - you don't have a boyfriend yet, right?"
"Noβdoes it have anything to do with having a boyfriend?"
I smiled, "It's relevant - when you have a close boyfriend, or get married, it won't hurt so much."
The girl didn't answer, but lowered her head.
"So be it! After that, I will prescribe you a few pairs of Chinese medicine, and you will finish eating it according to what I said, and ensure that the medicine is cured. β
"This ...... You're still helping my brother, right? Please......"
As soon as she stood up excitedly, she was about to walk towards me.
"Don't worry, I'll help you...... I'm sure to help you...... You sit down first! β
After the girl sat down again, I continued to ask her, "What did your brother say about the last call he made to you?"
The girl thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "I also said that I should take good care of my parents' relics, and I must not lose them."
"Relic? What relics? β
"Actually, there is nothing left, just a box, which contains the souvenirs that my parents collected when they went to various places."
After a little thought, I concluded that there was a deeper meaning to what his brother said on the phone, perhaps...... Maybe you don't want others to understand!
"Where is the box now?"
"Right in my house, in my bedroom - the contents of this box should have no other value than memorial!"
I waved my hand and interrupted her, "Can you show me these things?" Maybe...... Maybe your brother left you some clues in the box. β
"Clues? This...... All right! Come with me! β
I followed the girl to an old neighborhood on the outskirts of the city, where the girl's family lived in an old-fashioned building, which was older than the one I bought.
When I went up to the third floor, the girl took out the key and looked at me with a worried look, and asked timidly, "You can't be a bad person, right?"
Seeing the nervous look on her face, I couldn't help but laugh: "Bad guy? Your family is rich, huh? β
"My family has no money, and the bad guys aren't necessarily greedy for money, right?"
"So what's going on?"
"Lustful! I'm supposed to be ...... good-looking."
I smiled: "Little sister, don't worry, I'm definitely a good person."
"Squeak" The door opened, this is the old-style three-bedroom living room, the room is a little messy. β
"Ahh How is this happening? β
When the girl saw the scene inside the house, she exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"After I left, someone's house was turned over......"
I turned around and looked at the lock. The door lock is intact, and it is impossible to enter the house without a key.
"Are you sure someone came in and flipped it?"
"Sure! My own home has been turned over, and I am still unsure! The girl gave me a blank look.
"Then you have a key in your house besides you?"
"And my brother - I'm the only one left in my house now - and now he's missing......"
I pointed to the lock and said to the girl, "If someone else doesn't have the key, then there are only two possibilities......"
"What is possible?"
"Your brother has come back, or someone has come with his key!"
The girl looked at me with a frightened look on her face, and her words were chosen.
"Let's take a look at the box your brother said first!"
The girl immediately turned around and ran into a house on the left.
