When Bai Jie saw me looking in one direction absentmindedly, she couldn't help but come up to me and ask, "What are you looking at?"

I replied: "Look at the pictures on the wall."

Bai Jie listened to my words and followed my gaze to look at the wall.

Then she saw two black and white photos hanging on the wall, one of Bai Jie's grandma and one of Bai Jie's grandpa.

Bai Jie and I briefly explained a few words.

Said those were her grandparents.

I said yes, and then I asked Bai Jie, do you think your father would hide something important behind the photo?

My words made Bai Jie pause for a few seconds. Bai Jie quickly said to me: "No, these are the photos of my grandparents. Wouldn't my father hide things behind their photos?"

I thought about it for a while and said to Bai Jie a little embarrassedly: "Bai Jie, could you please take off the photos of your grandparents and take a look at them?"

I know this is too much to ask for.

It's just that I just searched almost every corner of this old house, and there was almost nothing. If there is any place that I haven't searched for, I'm afraid it's the only place I haven't found.

Bai Jie didn't answer me immediately, but stood still for a while.

I knew Bai Jie was thinking about this matter now, so I didn't bother Bai Jie.

After about a minute, Bai Jie answered me and said, "Then take it off, but you must be careful."

Bai Jie and I promised that we would not damage the photos.

After we agreed, there was no delay. I quickly found a chair. I stood on the chair and started to take down the photos from it.

Bai Jie asked me to be careful.

I answered Bai Jie, yes.

After I took down the top photo, Bai Jie took the photos below. When I took off the first photo, I saw that there was nothing behind the wall.

Feeling a little disappointed, I then took off the second photo, but there was still nothing on it.

I began to feel completely disappointed. It seemed that I had guessed wrong.

But I still said to Bai Jie: "Bai Jie, do you see anything in the photo frame?"

Bai Jie searched for it and quickly answered me: "No."

I paused for a few seconds. Is there really nothing?

My eyes returned to the wall where the photos were hung. I looked at the wall and noticed a phenomenon. The place where the photos were hung seemed to be much newer than the other places.

The rest of the place looks a bit old, but the walls in these two places are relatively new.

Although the place where photos are hung should be new, this wall is a little too new.

It's obvious that the walls here have been repainted.

Could there be something hidden inside?

I raised my hand and knocked on the wall, and then on the wall next to me.

After comparing the two places, I basically confirmed that the wall here is hollow.

After I discovered this, I suddenly felt a little excited.

I said to Bai Jie: "Have I made a new discovery?"

After hearing what I said, Bai Jie looked up at me and asked me, "What did you find?"

"There is a hollow behind this wall."

I quickly answered Bai Jie.

An unexpected look appeared on Bai Jie's face.

I came down from the top and asked for Bai Jie's permission. I found the fear of taking advantage of the old house of the Bai family and prepared to open the wall.

It is not difficult to break open the wall. I took the tool and used it three times to break the wall.

Sure enough, there was a space hidden inside, and there was something there. I reached inside to get something, and quickly took out a flat box. This box looked like the iron box that used to hold wafer biscuits.

.

I took down the iron box, but didn't open it in a hurry.

I first found a new wall and hung the portraits of Bai Jie's grandparents again.

After hanging it up, Bai Jie and I were ready to open the iron box.

Of course, this iron box was left by Bai Jie's father. Of course, Bai Jie had to open it. Bai Jie didn't hesitate for too long and opened the iron box directly.

After the iron box was opened, a faint smell filled the air.

It's the smell of rust.

And there are also a few simple things inside.

One of them is a key.

Then there was a letter. Bai Jie took the letter in her hand and quickly read it carefully.

As Bai Jie watched, I noticed that her eyes gradually turned red, and soon the tears began to fall down like broken pearls. Looking at Bai Jie's appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

I found a tissue and handed it to Bai Jie.

Bai Jie wiped her tears and handed the letter to me.

I was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Bai Jie with a bit of doubt in my eyes. I asked Bai Jie, "Can I see it?"

Bai Jie nodded and said, "Okay."

Since Bai Jie said I could read it, I didn't hesitate and took the letter from Bai Jie's hand. This letter was the suicide note left by Bai Jie's father to Bai Jie.

Bai Jie's father calls Bai Jie Jie'er.

This is enough to show how much Bai Jie's father loves Bai Jie.

What follows are some instructions from Bai Jie’s father to Bai Jie.

Every sentence is deeply touching and makes people feel emotional.

She asked Bai Jie to be an upright and independent girl, and asked Bai Jie to be filial to her mother.

The strange thing is that between the lines, Bai Jie's father never mentioned that Bai Jie should be good to him.

I subconsciously glanced down at the payment time.

After I saw the date of signing, I said, "Bai Jie, was this letter written two months ago?"

Bai Jie was originally immersed in sadness, but after hearing these words, she seemed to be energetic and quickly said to me: "What did you say?"

Bai Jie looked shocked.

I repeated what I just said, and then handed the paper to Bai Jie.

Bai Jie took the letter from me, and after reading the time it was signed, she was instantly dumbfounded. She said with a shocked look on her face: "This is impossible, my father has been dead for a year or two."

Bai Jie's voice was filled with surprise.

He died a year or two ago? And this letter was signed two months ago?

There was also confusion in my heart, and I said to Bai Jie: "Could this letter be a prank?"

Bai Jie's eyes were shocked, and then I heard Bai Jie say: "Probably not."

"Why not?"

I asked quickly.

"I can be absolutely certain that the handwriting on this letter is my father's handwriting."

Bai Jie said with a serious face.

Her words also shocked me.

"Is it possible that your father is not dead?"

I couldn't help but blurt it out.

Bai Jie shook her head and continued: "Look at the other things inside the bag."
