Sister Yan was a little drunk.

But Chen Xiao's question, she still responded immediately.

"I'm keeping it."

Chen Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter: "More than ten years have passed, and his luggage ...... Is it still there? ”

Chen Xiao was worried.

After all, time has passed, and I am afraid that few people will save a bag of old people's luggage.

Especially Sister Hong, who looks like this, has been adrift in many places.

Every time she leaves, does she take Wande's luggage with her?

The results did not disappoint Chen Xiao.

She's really kept it all the time!

"During the banquet, I asked you what your relationship was with him, originally I wanted to give it to his family, but then I found out that his family didn't seem to care about him, so I kept the things. But you think you should really care about him, but I forgot about it as soon as I drank the wine just now. ”

"Okay, I'll drive with you to get it. The contents may be of great help to us in finding his whereabouts. ”

Sister Yan nodded, and asked the driver who called her to drive.

Chen Xiao followed behind and drove until he reached an old community in the county seat before stopping.

Sister Yan lives here now.

did not marry, nor did he take refuge in his mother's family.

A man who has been wandering for many years has saved some savings, and now he has opened a massage parlor in the county seat.

followed Sister Yan upstairs, and in a cabinet in the bedroom, she took out a leather suitcase.

"He took a broken bag and tied it up, and then when the bag broke, I changed several boxes to keep his things."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Then nothing has been left behind, right?" ”

"No, everything is still in there. Originally, I thought I would see him return these, but I didn't expect that the train would be goodbye for so many years, and I don't know if the contents of this box have become a habit or a habit. ”

Sister Yan sighed, and Chen Xiao was not in a hurry to open it here.

The stuff inside must be mostly clothes.

The clothes are not what Chen Xiao is looking for, what he wants to find is something related to Wande's disappearance.

And even if Sister Yan has seen those things, it is not suitable to ask Sister Yan.

took the suitcase, Chen Xiao said goodbye and left.

By the time I got home, it was already the middle of the night.

Lin Xi, Lao Chen and Lao Ma didn't sleep, and they were waiting for Chen Xiao.

Seeing that he was back, Lin Xi asked with a look of surprise as soon as he saw the suitcase, "Uncle Wande's luggage has really been kept?" ”

"Yes, this is an unexpected joy, and what is even more surprising is that Sister Yan said that she has not left a single thing in the box for so many years."

When Lao Chen heard this, he said with embarrassment: "Affectionate and righteous, that girl has a really good heart." ”

Chen Xiao didn't say much, put the suitcase on the table, and said seriously: "Dad, you have to take a serious look at the things inside when you open them later." There must have been something going on when Uncle Wan De left, and even I suspect that his departure was not a normal event, but a last resort. ”

Lao Chen's face was also solemn, so Chen Xiao opened the suitcase and took out the contents one by one.

As expected, in addition to clothes, the contents are some of the things that Wande liked to use before.

For example, a small knife, Lao Chen already had tears in his eyes when he saw it: "This is when you were five years old, I gave it to you on Uncle Wande's birthday, but I didn't expect him to take it with him when he left." ”

"And this comb, this mirror, this burnt bag has to look in the mirror and pull his hair wherever he goes, I didn't expect him to have all these things with him."

Looking for it, Chen Xiao suddenly saw a pen lying quietly in the suitcase card.

The brand of the fountain pen is called "Hero".

If Chen Xiao remembers this brand correctly, it was a famous big brand in Dongzhou back then.

It's just that the fountain pen, which is used by students or intellectuals, what does it have to do with Wande?

In particular, the pen seems to have two letters engraved and a few small words: LX - Friendship Lasts Forever!

Whether it is letters or words, it can be recognized at a glance, and it is a fountain pen that is bought and then carved out little by little with a sharp instrument.

The carving technique is very immature, and at first glance, it looks like a person who has not learned this craft.

But you can also feel that the person who carvers should be full of enthusiasm and sincerity.

Chen Xiao carefully took the pen and asked Lao Chen: "Dad, did my Uncle Wande go to school?" ”

"I went to elementary school for two or three years, but when I grew up, I learned a lot of words."

"And his handwriting is beautiful?"

"Contrary to his people, his words are ghostly."

"Then why did he carry this pen?"

Lao Chen shook his head: "I don't know, he and I don't have much culture, and we never like to write." ”

Chen Xiao didn't ask again, and Lin Xi also noticed the letters and small characters on the pen.

"LX – Friendship Lasts."

"LX should be an acronym for a person's name, right? With the words friendship lasts forever, is this another friend of Uncle Wande? ”

Chen Xiao was not sure: "Not necessarily, Dad's story Uncle Wande is definitely not such a person, even if he gives a gift to a friend, unless this person named LX likes it very much, it is impossible to give a pen." Moreover, if you look at these words, you can tell at a glance that they can't be engraved. But he's very serious, these words are just a little crooked, and they still look good. ”

"You mean to say that this fountain pen may not have anything to do with Uncle Wande?" Lin Xi also muttered, and then she pulled it aside and began to communicate with Lao Chen about the names that the two letters LX could compose.

Lin Xi Group came up with a lot of names, but those names were not impressed by Lao Chenquan.

And the names that these two letters can be combined don't know geometry, and just a surname that can be extended by an L can make the number of people better for a while.

Seeing that Lao Chen was not impressed, Lin Xi could only give up.

But as he spoke, Lin Xi suddenly smiled and said, "Husband, have you noticed that my name is also these two letters?" L Lin, X Creek. ”

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "It's true!" ”

The surname Lin is very common.

Lin is paired with the name of Shangxi, who knows how many?

The two of them didn't talk about this topic anymore, waiting for everything to be checked, except for the fountain pen Chen Xiao didn't find anything else problematic.

And the appearance of this fountain pen made Chen Xiao very regretful.

He regretted that if the pen had not been kept for more than ten years, but for more than ten days, it would have been possible to identify it through fingerprints.

However, more than ten years have passed, and no matter how good the storage is, the fingerprints that used to be on it have long been oxidized.

What's more, today's identification technology is still far behind that of future generations.

So Chen Xiao is very regretful and also helpless.

He stared straight at the pen, his mind thinking of all the options.

In the end, he suddenly remembered the appearance of Wande in the photo that Lao Chen hid.

Wande is indeed a tall and handsome man as portrayed by Sister Yan.

It's just that in that era, whether it was Wande or Lao Chen, his life was very hard.

Even the clothes have patches.

This is the common scene in the countryside of Jiang Province in the 90s!

Thinking about it, Chen Xiao paid attention to the word poverty.

These two words mean that people will pay special attention to their own things, so it is obvious that the clothes that Wande brought with him when he went out were too old to be good.

That being the case, that means that the moment he got out of the car and looked out the window must have seen enough scenes to make people forget everything.

That scene should have the characteristics of danger coming.

The danger must not have happened just then, but already there!

Is it true that Wande will leave nothing behind?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but tear off the cap of the pen.

After looking inside the cap, he turned the barrel away.

After taking another look at the inside of the metal pen barrel, Chen Xiao's eyes widened a little!
