Chapter 248 Old Photos
Ye Bai found a key in the deceased's drawer. Out of curiosity, he tried to open the cabinet door. Unexpectedly, the key turned smoothly and the cabinet door was pushed open with a "creak".
What was shocking was that the cabinet was full of 100-yuan cash bills, neatly arranged side by side, but many of them had been eaten into pieces by cockroaches. It was estimated that there were about hundreds of thousands of yuan in total.
There was an ordinary cardboard box in the middle, and cockroach eggs and broken wings could be seen.
Ye Bai reached out and took out the cardboard box, opened it and saw some photos inside.
Zhong Ziqun came over, took a curious look, and exclaimed, "Wow, why are there all photos? Hey, why are these all photos of a little boy? Oh, this car is not cheap, it should be the son of a rich family."
Ye Bai held the photos in his hand and confirmed them repeatedly, and finally set his eyes on those photos.
At this moment, his mind went blank and he stood there in a daze, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Yan Yi noticed something was wrong with Ye Bai and asked with concern: "Ye Bai, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Bai slowly picked up one of the photos. It was a photo of a little boy sitting in a car. He stared at the photo and his voice trembled a little: "He... is my brother."
The surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
"What?" Zhong Ziqun had an expression of disbelief on his face, his eyes wide open, he simply couldn't believe what he saw.
Yan Yi's expression immediately turned serious, and he whispered, "So, Miao Xiang is the younger brother?"
Ye Bai nodded, "I'm not sure either, but I feel like it's not going away."
Zhong Ziqun couldn't help but sigh: "This is too coincidental, my God!"
After saying this, he felt goose bumps all over his body.
When sorting the photos, Ye Bai keenly noticed that there was a line of words neatly written on the back of each photo, clearly recording Ye Che's travel time and place, and even the time when Ye's mother accompanied Ye Che for dinner was clearly marked.
Yan Yi couldn't help but frown and wondered, "Could Miao Xiang be a private detective? These photos should have been posted on the wall before the kidnapping was carried out. They were put away and locked in the box after the kidnapping failed."
Ye Bai shook his head silently, turned his gaze to the notebook and the slider phone, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, the answer we want is hidden there."
Before leaving, they also learned that Miao Xiang did not have a heart disease, but he often stayed up late, and even Miao He didn't know what he was busy with.
Yan Yi guessed, "Stay up late often? Could it be that overwork causes angina pectoris, so you need to take this medicine occasionally?"
Zhong Ziqun said confidently: "At least from these photos, I can be sure that Miao Xiang is the 'Xiao Ge' we have been looking for. It seems that the truth is within reach."
On the way back, Ye Bai remained silent.
His mind was full of questions, and he desperately wanted to know whether this kidnapping was committed by Miao Xiang alone, or if there was someone else behind it.
Zhong Ziqun stared at the deceased's slider phone and recalled: "Don't underestimate this slider phone. It sold for more than 2,000 yuan back then. It's very durable and full of memories. It didn't break no matter how it was dropped. The quality is amazing. When I was in school, anyone who had such a slider phone was the envy of everyone. At that time, most people used PHS, and some didn't even have a mobile phone. This slider phone can not only surf the Internet, but also take pictures. It's really cool. I still have a few slider phones that were discarded at home. I can still use them after disassembling the batteries and charging them."
At this time, Zhong Ziqun thought of another problem, "It seems that the policy of real-name authentication for buying mobile phone cards in 2003 has not been implemented yet."
Yan Yi nodded, "Yes, but it is also possible that a person's mobile phone number has not been changed for more than ten years."
