Wu Liang and Zuo Zhe conducted a blanket search in the courtyard, but in the end they couldn't find any traces related to Ye Han, so they had to return to the hotel holding the dark red wooden box.
Not long after, everyone who had found nothing gathered in the hotel lobby again. Looking at the dark red wooden box in Wu Liang's arms, Du Fei asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Wu Liang told everyone about the wooden box he and Zuo Zhe found under the vegetation in the open-air hot spring.
Luo Yu frowned and said: "This wooden box is definitely not from the hotel. Yesterday morning, before you all arrived at the hot spring villa, I just checked the open-air hot spring and did not see this box. The hotel has never purchased this kind of wooden box."
Hearing what Luo Yu said, this strange dark red wooden box became even more suspicious.
Everyone unanimously decided to open it and take a look. Everyone has searched the hot spring hotel, and now there is still no trace of Ye Han. He may have been kidnapped. If so, there may be kidnappers in this wooden box. The message to be conveyed may not be known.
Luo Yu took out a large iron pliers from the tool room and clamped hard on the small golden lock on the wooden box. The golden lock could not withstand the huge force from the large iron pliers and broke into pieces with a click.
Twelve pairs of eyes stared at the dark red wooden box. Luo Yu was also a little nervous, leaning back slightly, carefully opened the lid of the box, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The contents of the dark red wooden box are not as scary as its color, just some old things.
Luo Yu took out these old things one by one.
An old faded silk scarf.
A beautiful pearl necklace, each pearl is golden.
A slightly faded all-silk seven-fold tie.
A pen.
A CD.
Wu Liang observed secretly, and everyone had different expressions.
Luo Yu looked relaxed after being extremely nervous.
Ye Zhenghe's brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was remembering something.
Du Fei only glanced at the contents of the box, then turned to look at Ye Zhenghe silently.
Anger seemed to flash across Lin Jiamu's eyes, veins were visible on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he forced himself to hold it back.
Wang Xiaoyu remained expressionless.
Ren Bo looked straight at those old things, wondering what he was thinking.
Pei Guang looked at the few old things that Luo Yu took out and sneered, "What the hell? It turns out to be a pile of junk."
As for Zuo Zhe—
"Hey! This pen is very expensive. I had one before!" Zuo Zhe pointed to the pen placed on the ground by Luo Yu and said in surprise.
Everyone's eyes turned to Zuo Zhe.
"You have the same pen?" Wu Liang frowned and looked at Zuo Zhe. There are thousands of pens in the world. This is really too much of a coincidence.
"Yeah, I remember that pen cost me more than 500 yuan, but unfortunately later..." Zuo Zhe suddenly fell silent.
"What happened next?" Wu Liang asked.
"It's nothing. I lost that pen later. It happened many years ago." Zuo Zhe smiled stiffly and stopped talking.
lost? It's obviously a lie. Wu Liang had more doubts.
"Is this really just a coincidence? Do you think other old things are as familiar to you as Zuo Zhe?" Wu Liang asked tentatively.
No one answered Wu Liang's question.
"That... it's all my fault. Our topic has gone astray. Among these things, that one should be the most suspicious, right?" Zuo Zhe said, pointing to the CD on the ground.
"This can be played in the audio-visual room on the second floor." Luo Yu opened the box of the disc and said after confirming that the disc was intact.
Du Fei and Ye Zhenghe looked at each other, looked at Luo Yu and said softly: "Thank you."
"This disk should be just an ordinary old thing. Ye Han will be fine." Wang Zhaozhao comforted the couple with a warm voice.
Although she was bullied badly by Ye Han three times in one day, Zhao Zhao's heart was still so kind, and her clear eyes were like a newborn white rabbit.
Because they were anxious to check the contents of the CD, everyone sat casually in the video room. Wu Liang deliberately chose a corner in the front row, and he could clearly see everyone's expressions when he turned around.
Wang Xiaoyu was still sitting in the corner near the door, with his head slightly lowered, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Luo Yu moved very quickly, and the video soon started playing.
What was played on the big screen was a surveillance video of the school.
This surveillance camera is located at the corridor and stairs of the school. You can clearly see primary school students wearing school uniforms walking on the stairs.
A very beautiful and cute little girl soon attracted Wu Liang's attention. Wu Liang paid attention to her, not because she was cute, but because the person joking with her next to her was Ye Han.
The time shown on the surveillance camera was a year ago, and Ye Han in the surveillance camera was a little more immature than he is now.
Ye Han and the cute little girl were chatting while going upstairs. Ye Han didn't know what he said. The little girl was made to giggle. Ye Han actually reached out and pinched the little girl's butt.
The little girl was irritated by Ye Han's sudden behavior. She seemed to want to ignore Ye Han and walked quickly upstairs.
Ye Han moved faster than the little girl and stood on the top step first, stretching his arms to prevent the little girl from passing.
In the surveillance video, Ye Han, who was standing at the top of the stairs, was facing the camera, while the little girl had her back to the camera. The little girl may have said something that made Ye Han unhappy. Ye Han's original playful smile disappeared instantly and his face was expressionless. His face was filled with murderous intent.
The next second, Ye Han's outstretched arms suddenly slid to his chest and gave the little girl a hard push.
"Ah!" Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help but scream, and immediately covered his mouth.
The unsuspecting little girl turned her back to the stairs, landed on the back of her head, and fell headfirst. Her little head bumped violently on the steps, as if it would break away from the control of her slender neck at any time.
Later, only the little girl's motionless feet were visible in the surveillance video.
At the top of the stairs, Ye Han raised the corners of his mouth slightly, watching this scene with interest.
The screen went dark, then quickly lit up again. This time, the screen showed a hospital.
The little girl who was pushed down the stairs by Ye Han had her head wrapped in layers of gauze and was crying silently in a wheelchair.
The little girl's mother sat aside, holding a piece of paper in her hand, wiping away tears.
The picture gradually zoomed in. The piece of paper was a diagnosis report given to the little girl by the hospital. The eight big words on it were particularly clear: intracranial hemorrhage, total body paralysis.
Soon, the screen switched to a new surveillance video again.
This time, it was in a hot pot restaurant.
This is a small self-service seafood hotpot. Wu Liang saw at a glance that Ye Zhenghe and Du Fei were eating hotpot with Ye Han.
Ye Zhenghe and Du Fei were chatting happily. Ye Han seemed to be full. He lay down on the chair in boredom and began to pull the hair of a girl sitting at the table in front of him with her back to him.
The girl, who was probably in her early twenties, was eating hot pot with her best friend. Her hair was pulled by Ye Han. She instinctively looked back and saw that the person pulling her hair was an eight or nine-year-old boy. She didn't pay much attention and turned around. Continue chatting with my bestie.
Ye Han seemed to have found pleasure and began to pull the girl's hair harder and harder.
The girl finally became angry and began to report the matter to Ye Zhenghe and Du Fei.
Ye Zhenghe seemed not to hear and said nothing. Du Fei glanced at the girl nonchalantly and said something to Ye Han perfunctorily.
Although she was a little unhappy, the girl didn't bother anymore and returned to her seat to eat hot pot and chat with her best friends.
But Ye Han seemed extremely unhappy, his brows furrowed and his face livid, and he dragged the stool hard.
After a while, Ye Han suddenly picked up the small hot pot that was still boiling in front of him and poured it on the head of the girl behind him.
The boiling soup poured over the girl's head and face, and the girl's painful screams could be heard through the screen, making people's hearts tremble.
But Ye Han, the instigator, stood aside and laughed.
The scene switched to the hospital again, where the girl was splashed on the face by a boiling hot pot of red oil, causing serious injuries of the second degree, complete facial disfigurement, severe infection, and the possibility of blindness in both eyes.
Unable to bear the physical and mental torture, the girl chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
