The cover of the codebook was worn out, and the drawings on it were so worn that they could barely be seen in their original appearance.

The page on one side was also yellowed and broken, and looked at least a decade or two old.

I remember that this kind of codebook arose in the zero years, when it was popular all over the country, and whoever could have such a book in his hand would definitely be looked down upon by his classmates.

Generally speaking, this kind of codebook is used to record more important things or write a diary, in order to prevent their secrets from being discovered by others.

I was looking back when Li Hai's anxious voice came into my ears: "What are you doing here, hurry up, if you let people block it, it will be over!" ”

"Lao Li, I want to take this codebook out, it's not a valuable thing, I think this codebook may be helpful to us." I looked at Li Hai and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay, get it out quickly, I don't want to stay here for a second longer!" After Li Hai finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the door, and when he saw that he was relieved, I turned around and picked up the code book and followed him quickly.

After leaving the house, Li Hai stood in the corridor and looked at the wind, while I re-glued the seal that had been torn off earlier in accordance with its position.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I returned to Li Hai's house, who was already slumped on the sofa, panting and smoking a cigarette.

"I said, what's the use of you bothering to make such a book, I almost tired my buddy."

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Li Hai's nervous mood seemed to calm down a lot, but the residual anger in his heart was still gone, and the tone of his voice to me still smelled of gunpowder.

This incident was originally caused by me, and besides, the situation was critical just now, if someone really found out about the two of us, it would be completely over.

So Li Hai was angry with me, and I didn't refute him, and directly changed the conversation: "Judging from the words of the middle-aged man just now, you must have a problem with the young man in the door, and you also said that he rarely has contact with people on weekdays and has a more introverted personality, so this kind of person will not easily tell others his thoughts and thoughts, but people must always have a place to vent, otherwise they will be suffocated, so I think he is most likely to record the unspeakable hidden in this codebook." ”

As soon as Li Hai said this, he suddenly became interested, his body straightened forward, and he threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and open the code book, maybe we can find out his motive for killing and committing suicide from this book, when the time comes, let's hand over this book to the police station, and then help the police solve the case, if you can get one of the top ten outstanding young people or good citizens or something, then I will get two vertical plaques to hang in my live broadcast room, shock these tourists!" ”

Li Hai's words made me speechless for a while, if we hand over the book, it is estimated that the two of us will not be able to leave, and it is good to be a good citizen of the top ten youths, it would be good not to eat prison food.

I glanced at Li Hai and didn't say anything, and then began to study the code of the codebook.

This kind of codebook is the wheel code, and there are four wheels in total, from one to ten, that is, there are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine possibilities.

I've never crossed paths with that young man, so I can't figure out the password at all, and if I want to try it one by one, I guess I won't be able to crack it for a while.

Just when I was at a loss and ready to try it from scratch, I saw a black shadow suddenly fall in front of me, and then with a bang, the password structure on the codebook was directly shattered, and plastic splashed everywhere.

Looking back, Li Hai was holding a claw hammer in his hand and smiled at me: "Can you make so much effort, you have to make such a trouble with a hammer, anyway, everyone else is gone, there is a fart for setting a password, hurry up and open it to see what is written inside." ”

Although Li Hai's behavior is rude, it is indeed simple and effective, and now there is still half a day before my deadline, and I have no time to continue to delay.

Thinking of this, I immediately opened the codebook, and looked down, and what was recorded in it was indeed a diary, and the handwriting was very neat, like the handwriting of a little girl.

I roughly flipped through it, and there were two or three hundred entries in the diary, the first of which was recorded on June 3, 98.

Although the handwriting on it has faded, a closer look can roughly discern what is written.

"Today, my mother bought a dress for my sister, the skirt is so beautiful, I will wear such a beautiful dress when I grow up, see who is more beautiful between me and my sister."

Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder how the young man I saw earlier could have such thoughts when he was obviously a man, and I continued to flip back with doubts.

"Today my dad found out that I was stealing my sister's skirt and beat me, saying that I didn't study well, but he didn't know that I also secretly used my mother's lipstick, and I was like a princess when I wore the skirt, alas, if only I were a girl......"

As the diary continued to flip back, I finally realized the problem, this young man looked like a man on the surface, but he longed to be a woman.

Since he was a child, he felt that he was supposed to be a woman, so he always wore his sister's clothes and used his mother's makeup, and every time his father found out, he would beat him to death.

When he became an adult, he left his parents' house and rented a house outside, which was the opposite door of Li Hai.

thought that he could be a woman without his parents, but he didn't expect that this society was very hostile to this kind of person, resulting in him being unable to find a job at all, let alone live a normal life.

Therefore, he could only lock himself in the house, and over time his personality began to change, becoming more and more reluctant to contact people, and his personality became more withdrawn, as for the cosmetics and women's underwear in his house, it should be his own use.

"What's the matter with that woman's shouting and crying, I can clearly hear that there are two people in their house!" Li Hai asked in surprise after listening to my analysis.

As Li Hai doubted, I continued to flip back, but the content behind me was shocked.

"Even if I leave the house my dad still won't let me go, why did he force me to be a man, I really don't want to go on like this, tonight I imitated my dad's tone and taught me a lesson, I was wearing that bright red dress at the time, I just wanted him to see me makeup as a woman, I want him to know that even if I beat me, I will not give in to him, but in the future, the voice will be quieter, the neighbors around me have begun to suspect, tonight the eldest brother downstairs also found me, fortunately I took off the red dress in time, or I'm sure I'll be in trouble, alas, I still don't dare to face these people, what the hell should I do......"

"I'm grass, it turns out that this kid pretended to be himself, is he a pervert, he is pretending to be a perpetrator and a victim, I think he has persecution paranoia!" Li Hai scolded for a while after understanding what was going on, and it took him a few seconds before he came back to his senses and continued to ask: "Don't make this useless, hurry up and look back, why did he commit suicide, whose organs are in the bottle, and where is the body hidden by him?" ”

When Li Hai asked this, I already had the answer in my heart, in fact, there was no dead person except this young man, because the organs in the bottle were the young man's own.

He wanted to become a woman, but he knew that it was not enough to just put on women's clothes and put on clothes, so he cut off his own organs, with the purpose of becoming a real woman.

In contemplation, I turned to the last page of the diary, which contained the last diary left by the young man before his death.

"Today I'm leaving this world, because I know that even if I cut off my organs, I still can't become a real woman, just now I called my dad, I thought he would feel sorry for me, but I didn't expect him to curse me to death, and said that I am no longer his son, I don't want to live in the world, it's better to die, last night I picked up a black plastic bag at the door of my neighbor, I thought it was leftover food, but I didn't expect it to be a shroud, this is God also let me die, I'm going to die now, I only hope that I can be reincarnated as a woman in my next life......"

After reading the last diary left by the young man, I had mixed feelings in my heart, how much pain he had gone through before he chose to end his life, it seemed that he had lost confidence in life, and he was desperate for the indifference and ridicule of those spectators.

When I closed the diary, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and when I was thinking a lot of things in my heart, Li Hai suddenly pushed me.

"What are you doing pushing me when you're idle!" I looked at Li Hai on the side and didn't have a good air.

At this time, Li Hai's eyes widened and he stared at me, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little.

It took a few seconds for him to speak, "What am I doing?" I want to ask you what you do! If you don't say I don't know, it turns out that the black plastic bag contains a shroud! ”

"What are you doing with your shroud alive, what the hell is going on, if you don't tell me the ins and outs of the matter, you won't be able to get out of this door today!"

As soon as Li Hai finished speaking, he moved a chair and put it in front of the door, and then sat down, looking like a door god.

Today is the last day of my life, and if I can't get it back by twelve o'clock in the evening, I'm going to die.

But now that Li Hai has known about the shroud, if I don't tell the truth of the matter, I'm afraid he won't give up, if he really consumes it with me, then my little life will be completely over.

"Lao Li, this is my own business, you better not get involved, if I tell you, it will definitely be bad for you, I am doing this for your good!" I looked at Li Hai in front of the door with red eyes and said.

Hearing this, Li Hai stood with his feet apart, stretched his arms to both sides of the door, and shouted angrily: "Bullshit! If you're really good for me, then tell me, I don't need to say much about the friendship between the two of us, I fought with other dorm people in my sophomore year, and no one in our dormitory helped me, only you held an arm and rushed up, if it weren't for your buddy, my head would have blossomed! ”

"How can you let me pay back this life-saving favor, now you are polite to me, I tell you, it is brothers who are blessed and share hardships, if you don't tell me about this matter today, then you don't want to leave here!"

Although Li Hai is not very tall, but after all, he is wide and fat, and now he is sitting in front of the door, it is impossible for me to rush out, just when I was thinking about how to escape, suddenly a clangling sound came from outside the door.

Because Li Hai leaned against the door and the knock on the door was so frightened that he stood up, and then he faced the door and asked, "Who!" ”

"I'm looking for a little brother, about 1.78 meters tall, well-proportioned, wearing a blue shirt and a pair of black pants underneath, does he live in your house?"

Judging by the voice, the person outside the door should be a middle-aged man, and the voice sounds familiar, but I can't remember who it is for a while.

When Li Hai heard this, he looked me up and down, and when he saw the blue shirt and black trousers I was wearing, he said, "Isn't your kid just my friend in the city, why is there still anyone looking for you?" ”

After Li Hai finished speaking, he withdrew his chair to the side and prepared to open the door.

Seeing that Li Hai was about to open the door, I immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and before Li Hai could speak, I shouted directly at the person outside the door: "Who are you, is there anything to find me?" ”

"Hey, little brother, I found you, I'm your Uncle Chen, why did you forget me when you didn't see me all night?" The man outside the door responded with a smile.

Uncle Chen? Chen Xiangming!
