Although the boss felt embarrassed, he knew that it was important to save his life, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The three of them made a clearing in the middle of the room and began to unwrap the package in the room. Because when the boss stored these packages, he didn't leave any labels related to the age and time, so we had to take the nearest ones and dismantle them, and soon all kinds of things filled the vacant space. I took a cursory check while dismantling it, and there was still nothing special, and it seemed that all the things related to the identity of the owner of the package had been carefully removed. The people who left the package seemed to be afraid of something. But at the same time, it also proved that the boss did not lie to us, because we found a lot of cash in some packages. If the boss really embezzles the contents of the package, there will definitely be no money left. This is easy to say, but it is actually a manual work. It took the three of them an hour to unpack all the packages. After a cigarette break, we began to sort and organize the contents of the package. These things are trivial, but they can also be roughly divided into two categories. One is household items, such as pens, cutlery or raincoats. The other is personal items, such as glasses or watches. There are all sorts of things. As the boss said, it is easy to see from the style and workmanship of these things that the age of these packages really spans decades. The more I looked, the more I couldn't help but mutter. None of these things are valuable, and they don't seem to be commemorative. What is the reason why people are willing to pay for it and hand it over to the boss for safekeeping? Even if this thing is retrieved by the Wan family, what can it do? Or is this 10,000 family really so big that they already regard money like dung? Nothing to spend on? Thinking about it like this, my eyes lit up. It really gave me a glimpse of something golden in the pile of watches. When I picked it up, it was a pocket watch. It should be gilded, and in terms of workmanship, it looks like a product of Europe. This thing is worth a little money, if it's not an antique. Earlier, I once fell in love with a piece of antique shop, and when I asked if the price was high enough to buy a Swiss watch, I didn't bother to accept it. Now that this thing is in my hands, I'm still a little dark. When I opened the case and glanced at it, the watch had stopped, and there were a few things on the dial that I didn't know if they were gems. It's beautiful to look at anyway. Just as I was about to say that the toss was at least worth it, my eyes glanced at the photo on the inside of the watch cover. At this glance, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck, and immediately went to see Qin Yiheng beside me! Fortunately, he was concentrating on something else and didn't notice me. I hurriedly stuffed the watch quietly into my pocket, and when I touched my forehead, I was already sweating unconsciously. In that photo is a group photo of two young people, I don't know one person, but I can confirm 100% that the other person is Qin Yiheng! What's going on? Qin Yiheng knows the owner of this watch? Looking at this posture, if you can put a group photo in your pocket watch, the relationship must be extraordinary. But Qin Yiheng never mentioned this matter from beginning to end. Not even a word about it. I stole another glance at him, and my expression was unwavering. Didn't he know that one of the owners of these packages was someone he knew? Or is it something else? My heart swelled. I don't know if I should open my mouth and ask Qin Yiheng. I pinched myself secretly, whether I asked or not, I had to stay calm. However, just as I felt a little calmer, a thought popped into my mind. What if this pocket watch is Qin Yiheng's at all? Many years ago, he had entered the siege and left the same parcel as his predecessors? But it looks like Qin Yiheng was young at the time! Or was he one of the last to enter the siege? It's not that long before it is? I can't tell when I left this pocket watch. Now that the package has been opened, I can't remember where I found the pocket watch. In this way, there is no longer even the possibility of asking the boss. What's more, the boss didn't have any impression of these packages at all, there were so many packages, and he said that he was a little old man of half a hundred, and even I was not confident that I could remember it. My hand was quietly fumbling for my pocket watch, and my mind was a mess. This kind of nostalgia is almost useless for those who are present. First, it is very inconvenient to use, and second, it is not popular. His owner is clearly retro alternative. But what if his master is not the man he is now? This watch was left over decades ago. Qin Yiheng went to the besieged city decades ago? As a result, he hasn't aged yet? Is he filthy? The face does not change!? Filth. Could it be that Qin Yiheng died decades ago??? I regret very much that I looked at the photo just now in a hurry, and I only recognized Qin Yiheng's face, but I didn't identify the age from the background and dress. Otherwise, I wouldn't have guessed so much now. I stood up, intending to make up a lie and go out and study the pocket watch. Before I could open my mouth, Qin Yiheng suddenly called me, Jiang Shuo. My heart immediately rose to my throat. "I know what these packages are." Qin Yiheng also stood up and said, there won't be anything of value at all. These are just relics. After the dust settles, the family will bring these relics back for burial by the people who solved all this. Honour the memory of those who died for this purpose. I've looked it up carefully, and that's it. Qin Yiheng said with some sighs, a person or a family has been pressed by fate for too long, what they want is actually as simple as peace. We think too much. I looked at Qin Yiheng, I don't know why, I think he was telling the truth. Maybe it's because I'm also the one who has always been pressed by fate. I can empathize with that kind of helplessness and pressure. But if these packages are just ordinary relics, then a new problem arises. Why should I pick up that mysterious text message? Is it because I untied something from the chain? But I don't know where to bury the Wan family. After thinking about it, I instantly realized that the only valuable thing among these things was this pocket watch. That man must have known that the pocket watch was in the package, and that's what he asked me to pick it up! He wanted to tell me that this had something to do with Qin Yiheng! Thinking of this, I decided to continue probing and asked, what does that mysterious short breath mean? Do you want us to help with the burial? Where to be buried? Ten thousand ancestral halls? I do not know. It's kind of weird. Qin Yiheng shook his head, we must find out who sent the text message. Qin Yiheng said to the boss, you can go. When it comes time to check out, not a penny will be missing yours. I hope you don't talk about today's events. We really have no ill will. Also, no one will come to leave the package in the future. Do business with peace of mind, and make less money is better. The boss had been at a loss after unpacking the package, but now he finally heard this, and hurriedly nodded and said thank you several times before opening the door and going out. There were only two people left in the room, me and Qin Yiheng. Neither of us spoke, and he seemed to be still thinking about the purpose of the text message. And I've been struggling with whether to have a showdown with Qin Yiheng. In fact, I really don't want to hide anything, and I should have told the story of the pocket watch along the way. I smoked three cigarettes in a row, and my hands holding my pocket watch in my pocket were sweaty. In the end, I gritted my teeth and took out my pocket watch, and shook it in front of Qin Yiheng, "Do you know this?" I found it in the package. Qin Yiheng was very surprised, and shook his head. I don't know, I took this watch out of the package, and I haven't had time to look at it yet. It turned out to be put away by you. Jiang Shuo, what do you want to express? "I was stunned at this time. Looking at his expression, it really doesn't look like he's lying. I took a deep breath and handed the pocket watch to Qin Yiheng. Then I saw Qin Yiheng slowly open the lid of the watch, and his face changed. His eyes seemed to be firmly nailed to the watch, and he even stopped breathing! "This watch is yours." Qin Yiheng suddenly said something after a while.
