After Yan Jing took Xu Yixiang away, Su Min felt much more relaxed.
Facing such a heroine who can not only imagine but also associate, he is really a bit overwhelmed.
As soon as the third floor arrived, Yan Jingcai stopped, "Here we are."
They lived on the second floor, and few people on the third floor had ever gone up. After going out of the stairwell, they saw a locked room.
Unlike the one below, there are only a few doors here, and the place in the middle of the left and right is directly above the hall, which is also locked by a door.
The memory of more than ten years is very long.
Yan Jing tried to recall a little bit, "We seem to have been to the third floor before, when we were young."
Su Min doesn't have many memories, but there are some that should be there, "I came here, when I was playing hide-and-seek."
When I was young, I had nothing but some small games.
In the character script, Yan Jingcai and Su Min often play games together after their relationship has improved, and there are several other children.
Hide and seek depends on who hides well.
There are only a few places in the orphanage where people can hide. He and Yan Jing have been hiding in quite a few places. Later, they had nowhere to hide, so they went up to the third floor.
But when I was young, I didn't know what I saw.
Xu Yixiang pointed directly to the nearest room, "Let's go to this one first, it will be convenient for you to run away later."
Yan Jing walked over, "There is a lock on the door."
Su Min looked at it, "I will borrow the hairpin on your head."
Xu Yixiang didn't know, so he handed him the small black hairpin and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to pick the lock?"
Su Min said, "I'll try."
In fact, it is not difficult, because the lock is very old, and it is not the current anti-theft door, but a very ordinary padlock.
After about a minute, the lock was opened.
Su Min turned his head again, and saw the complicated expressions of Yan Jingcai and Xu Yixiang, "Have you been working as a lockpicker all these years?"
Xu Yixiang: "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Min: "..."
He returned the issuing card to Xu Yixiang, ignored the two protagonists who were overthinking, and went into the room by himself.
Xu Yixiang said, "I won't go in."
Yan Jing asked, "Where are you going if you don't go in?"
Xu Yixiang volunteered to go downstairs to watch the wind, "I will come to remind you when I hear the sound later, you must pay attention."
Yan Jing thought for a while, "Okay, then you must pay attention to safety."
Seeing Xu Yixiang go downstairs, he followed into the room.
It's really nerve-wracking to do such a sneaky thing.
The room should be an archive room. There is a bookshelf in the middle, and there are many old books on it. I don't know if they are documents.
As soon as Su Minfu entered the depths of the room, he could feel the smell of decay.
He is very familiar with this smell. Before entering the archives, it was the smell of paper things that had been left for a long time.
He also heard the conversation between the two protagonists.
Xu Yixiang was watching the wind at the top of the stairs. Although there was no danger for the time being, accidents might happen. They had to hurry up.
There are a lot of things in the archive room, and there is no marking of the year, etc. Su Min can only take out one by one to read.
There is even a ledger here.
The book in his hand is the funding list from ten years ago, and he has never heard of it, but he knows from memory that this is the rich man set by the movie.
The company name and sponsorship amount are also written on the back of the ledger.
The Happy Family was very prosperous back then, so the patrons throughout the year added up to a whole account book, which was densely remembered.
Su Min casually flipped through it a few times, but put back the ones that didn't work.
He looked on the bookshelf for a long time, and finally pulled out a folder with a lot of dust, and just opened it and saw a photo.
The photo has turned yellow, and some of the people on it have been blurred.
Su Min asked, "What is this? A photo of us at that time?"
Hearing the words of the photo, Yan Jing hurried over, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, "This is ours, it seems that the dean took the photo for us."
So there is no dean in every photo.
In the photo, he himself stood in the middle, and Su Min was pushed to the side by him.
Su Min could sense the age of the photo, "Since we took the photo then, they might have it now."
Yan Jing thought for a while, "It seems that there are photos every year. I remember that we also took photos the next year. At that time, we had a good relationship and stood together."
Su Min left the orphanage in the third year.
Not long after that, Yan Jing also left the orphanage, and it was the first time they met after they parted.
Su Min put away the photos, "Then just follow along and find the latest one."
The files here are too messy, and they are not classified into categories. It may be that the dean didn't sort them out at all.
At the beginning, the orphanage was regularly funded by people, so it was okay to hire people at that time, but no one is there now.
The two people now don't know if they are ghosts or not.
Since there are photos, there is a purpose in finding them.
The light in the file room was very dark, Su Min and Yan Jingcai both turned on the flashlights of their mobile phones and looked at each other.
There shouldn't be so much dust on the latest one, so he searched through a dozen and finally found a new one.
As soon as I opened the folder, a photo inside suddenly fell out.
Su Min picked it up and found that the photo was quite new. Turning it over, it was indeed true. The date was written on it, and it was taken last summer.
Because there were no people in the orphanage at this time, and there were only a dozen people in the photo.
Su Min glanced over, and among the children in the first row was the little girl who jumped off the building, and she was in the middle.
The two remaining children who ate with them at noon are also in the photo.
Su Min counted them by head. There are nine people in the photo, standing in two rows, four in the first row and five in the second row.
Two more than the current number.
The old dean is not here, he should be the one who took the photo.
As for those who were not photographed, there should be Xiao Chen, the rest is not clear, there may be children who are unwilling to be photographed.
Thinking of this, Su Min suddenly stopped.
He looked at the photos again, none of the nine children was Mingming, the one who let him play games with him.
The old dean looked like an orphanage before, so why didn't he take pictures? Could it be because he didn't want to take pictures
Su Min didn't know what happened to taking pictures last year.
"What are you looking at so engrossed?" Yan Jing didn't hear the sound all the time, so he walked over to look, "What is this?"
Su Min said, "This is the latest one."
Yan Jing looked over.
He asked: "There are nine children here, but now there are only seven. Are those two adopted?"
The key is that they have never seen a few children, so they can't recognize who was taken away in the photo.
Su Min said, "Look carefully."
Yan Jing took it a little closer, but he still couldn't see anything. Instead, he thought of the plot of the ghost story, "What did you see? Could it be that there is an extra ghost inside?"
Su Min: "..."
He and his girlfriend are truly a match made in heaven.
Su Min pointed to the photo, "Do you remember that kid smiling at the corner of the wall? He's not in the photo."
Yan Jing was right, and found out that he was not there.
He guessed: "Is he a ghost?"
Su Min shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the dean's behavior that day clearly looked like a human being."
Yan Jing said: "What if both of them are not human?"
Here, it should be combined with the outside world. It is entirely possible for two ghost actors to act together to deceive them.
"It's possible what you said." Su Min glanced at him and said, "I'll look for Mingming's files first."
Obviously the file should record whether he was adopted or not, and there is also a file on whether he is dead or not.
Su Min picked up the file just now and opened it page by page.
Because there were only a few children in the orphanage at that time, he found Mingming's record about ten seconds later.
…
Xu Yixiang was standing on the edge of the stairs on the second floor.
Because if they were standing at the stairs on the third floor, they would not be able to run away if the ground came down, so they could only hide on the third floor.
I don't know if I can find anything there.
She was thinking about something nervously, when suddenly there was the sound of slow footsteps below, it was definitely not Han Qinqin.
Xu Yixiang's hair exploded.
She hurried upstairs, knocked on the door, and reminded: "Come out, the dean is going upstairs."
Fortunately, the door of the archives room is not far from the stairs.
Su Min and Yan Jing inside were surprised.
Su Min quickly put the photo in his pocket, and conveniently put the file he was looking at back into the distance, "Leave first."
After Xu Yixiang reminded her, she ran back downstairs, ready to drag the old dean.
I don't know if it was because he was old, but after a long time the old dean reached the second floor and saw Xu Yixiang standing there.
Xu Yixiang pulled out a smile, "Dean."
She is trembling now, for fear that the old dean will riot.
The old dean kept walking, coming up step by step, "What are you doing standing here?"
"Just getting ready to go back to the room."
Hearing the voice behind her, Xu Yixiang turned her head and was relieved to see that Yan Jingcai and Su Min had already come down.
Yan Jing swallowed his saliva, and asked nervously: "Why did the dean come up? Is there something wrong?"
The old dean nodded, "Yes, it's very important."
The hearts of the three were raised, not knowing what he was going to say.
The old dean had always been smiling, but now he also put on a straight face, and suddenly asked: "Have you all eaten the food?"
At this moment, his expressionless appearance was hidden in the dim light of the corridor, making him look a bit creepy.
Hearing this, Su Min's heart tightened.
Only then did Yan Jing wink at Su Min, did the old dean know about the fact that they threw away the vegetables
Su Min tentatively asked, "Why do you ask that, the food is delicious."
He was also afraid that if he said it, he would hit the point of death.
The old dean asked: "Delicious?"
Yan Jing echoed, "Yes, it's delicious."
"Delicious?" The old director suddenly amplified his voice: "It's delicious, why do you throw away the food?"
Su Min's back turned cold.
Xu Yixiang subconsciously denied: "No, we didn't."
The old dean stared at the three people with cloudy eyes, then waved his hands and said, "I've seen Han Qinqin's discarded vegetables, how about you?"
Both Yan Jingcai and Xu Yixiang's eyes widened.
They changed to a new location tonight, far away from the original place, it can be said to be the complete opposite, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.
Unexpectedly, Han Qinqin was discovered.
If Su Min hadn't mentioned the change of position before, wouldn't they have been discovered now.
Yan Jing said stiffly: "She threw it away, we didn't."
Although everyone's dishes are the same, there are subtle differences.
The old dean was dubious, "Really not?"
Yan Jingcai: "No!"
There is and cannot be admitted.
The old dean sighed and said, "Hey, Xiao Chen is a social worker after all, and a chef is not his job. Small mistakes are inevitable. Don't be too harsh."
Yan Jing blushed, not daring to refute.
This is not a small mistake, it has fried my hands and eyeballs together, if it is bigger, I am afraid that my head will be fried in it.
If Su Min is removed, even the head will be divided into three parts!
