chapter 15 no direction

The drawer was very empty. Only after pulling it open completely, will you see a flat box. It was a wooden box that looked very old. Hiroko took out the box and found that it was also locked. "Open it, Brother Canyn." Hiroko took a deep breath. She now felt nervous about finding out the truth. This thing was protected by Emmiline with three levels of lock inside and outside. It must be a very important thing. And if you look at the things inside, you may be able to find out the secrets Hiroko Chen wants to know. "You're sure about this?" Canyn could see Hiroko's nervousness. "I've thought about it, I want to know everything." She nodded firmly. As a person who can completely hide her talents so well, she has a determined heart. Canyn stretched out his hand and the lock opened. By then, Hiroko was no longer shocked by his unlocking skills. Instead, she took a deep breath, reached out tremblingly, and slowly opened the box. The box was finally opened. Canyn and Hiroko were stunned seeing what was inside. There was nothing else in the box except for a photo. "This photo looks like it was taken about eighteen years ago." Canyn looked at it carefully and said, "And the person in the photo should be Sister Clemens." Truth be told, the photo has turned yellow and is not very clear. It has been a long time since it was taken. Hiroko stared at the person in the photo, and she could vaguely see her own shadow. She is very similar to Emmiline Clemens. "How old is Sister Clemens now?" Canyn asked. "Thirty-three" "How old are you?" "Sixteen and a half" "That is to say, she gave birth to you when she was sixteen and a half years old. And when she was pregnant with you, she was definitely not yet sixteen years old. Sister Clemens should be more than fifteen years old in the photo. It was taken not long before she was pregnant with you," Canyn said analytically. "Do you know these two people next to her?" There are three people in the photo. Emmiline is in the middle, and there are two other girls on both of her sides. Although the photo has turned yellow, it can still be seen that these two would grow into beauties even compared to Emmiline. "I don't know them, I have no impression at all." Hiroko shook her head. Canyn pondered for a moment and said, "See if you can find anything else. Be careful and don't let your mother notice that we have entered her room. If there is no other discovery, there is only one way left, which is to find the two people in this photo." Hiroko immediately began to search more carefully. Given that, only one photo was found from Emmiline locked drawer. The possibility of finding valuable clues elsewhere is already very low. The result was the same, after searching, nothing was found. "How do we find these people?" The photo was from seventeen years ago, apart from their appearance, there are no other clues. There was simply no lead. Canyn was also having a headache. "Is your mother from Tokai?" He asked. Hiroko shook her head. Canyn was a little speechless. Hiroko was just asking questions and couldn't provide any valuable clues at all. "Analyzing the age of the people in this photo, your mother and these two should both be in high school. We should either find these two people or find the school where your mother went." Canyn said. "The possibility of finding these two people based on this photo is almost impossible. Even in the Internet age, it is very difficult. The only way is to find the high school where my mother went." Hiroko continued from Canyn's words and said. As someone who self-taught college courses, if she didn't have this kind of analytical ability, her efforts would have been in vain. "But the key to the problem is that you don't know anything." Canyn spread his hands. "Check my mother's files, " Hiroko said after thinking for a while. "Has Sister Clemens ever entered a public institution or been a civil servant? Or, has she worked for others or signed a contract that needs to be kept in files?" Canyn asked. "I don't know, "Hiroko said in distress. Canyn was speechless. She didn't know anything about her mother. Even if he determined the correct direction to continue their pursuit, they were still going at it like a headless fly, it was not much better than before. "Your mother would have cleaned up everything from the past. What files? There's no need to even think about it." Canyn took the photo, then locked the box and put it in the drawer. "You want to take the photo away?" Hiroko's eyes widened. If her mother finds out, "The situation is very clear now. This is the only memory of the past that Sister Clemens kept. And I believe that this photo will always be kept in the corner. She may not take it out after a year, or even ten years. Sister Clemens would not find out even if we had taken it away," Canyn said confidently. Hiroko nodded and said, "Even with this photo, we still don't have a direction to start investigating." "It's better than no photos at all. We can try to put some things online and see if we can find any clues." Canyn said, "You have to be prepared for a protracted war. It might take a long time for clues to appear. There's an even greater likelihood that we won't find any clues" "I understand," Hiroko nodded and said, "As long as there is the slightest possibility, I will not give up." Canyn hesitated for a moment without saying anything. For a girl who got pregnant at just over fifteen years old, the pregnancy itself would have been a very complicated issue. Is it really okay to poke our noses into it? If the truth were to be exposed, how would it affect Emmiline? However, what Canyn wants is for Emmiline and Hiroko to truly have the kind of close relationship that a mother and daughter should have. If this can be achieved, it doesn't matter what happened, Canyn will still have done a meritorious deed. After locking the drawer, Canyn personally removed all traces of entry, and then the two locked the door and went out. "Let's go" After exiting the room, Hiroko immediately pulled Canyn away. Hiroko's little hands were still very soft and comfortable to touch, so Canyn let her hold on to him and asked: "Go where?" "Go to a photo studio, they will definitely be able to restore the photos of these two people more clearly. At the same time, they can even deduce what they should look like now seventeen years later. In this case, won't it be relatively easier for us to search for them?" Hiroko said as she walked. "Have you ever thought about it, that Sister Clemens can also see our internet search history?" Canyn saw Hiroko going downstairs, taking the bag, putting the photos in, and leaving immediately, so he had to remind Hiroko. "As long as it's not related to beauty, don't worry, she won't care," Hiroko said confidently. "Finally, it seems you know at least some things about Sister Clemens," Canyn said emotionally. It's rare. "I realize, you have been taking advantage of me." Hiroko glared at Canyn fiercely. "How am I taking advantage of you?" Canyn was stunned. "What did you call my mother?" Hiroko said coldly. "Hahaha, following that logic, you are my niece. Try calling me uncle." "Get lost" "Try calling, I want to know what it feels like." "Get lost" "Don't be so rude, just once, just once" "Canyn, get out." Destined Wedding Photography Nowadays, there are very few photo studios that specialize in taking pictures, because mobile phones and various cameras are so common now. It is very convenient and fast to take pictures by yourself. Who would still go to a photo studio? Therefore, photo studios must do wedding photo business, otherwise, no simple photo studio can make enough money to feed themselves. Canyn and Hiroko, who had been arguing all the way, appeared at the store. According to Hiroko, this is not the biggest and best wedding photography shop in Tokai City, but it is the one with the best skills. As for how Hiroko knew all this, Canyn was not interested. As long as they can achieve the set goals, everything else doesn't matter. Upon entering the store, the luxurious decoration and various beautiful wedding dresses dazzled Canyn. Hiroko looked at the various wedding dresses with bright eyes. She liked many of them. A staff came forward to greet Canyn and Hiroko. Hiroko showed the domineering side of a rich person and directly proposed to talk with the manager. The waiter was very polite, maybe sensing Hiroko's dominating aura of a rich person, and didn't dare to offend such a customer. Even if the customer is not old, there was no rule that says that a person cannot wear a wedding dress if she is not old. "Can't you be more polite?" Canyn said as the staff arranged for the two of them to have a seat on a soft sofa and served tea while they waited. "I have to show that I am an important customer so that I can be taken seriously. Only then would they ensure that the restoration is more realistic and the deduction of their appearance seventeen years later can also be closer to the real face." Hiroko said seriously: "You have to admit that sometimes, there are many things that need a lot of money to come true. Money is very, very important. You should have had experiences that made you aware of this before." "You are rubbing salt on my wound," Canyn said angrily. "Tch, let me see your wound. Don't think I can't tell that with your lock-picking skills if you really want to make money, you won't be here tutoring me." Hiroko said, making a face that screamed "Don't take me as a fool" feeling a little smug. "Since you understand this, why can't you empathize with Sister Clemens who is running around to make money?"Canyn said seriously. "These are two different things," Hiroko argued. "The comfortable life you have now is all because of Sister Clemens' hard work. In fact, no matter what happened in the past, your attitude towards her must change," Canyn emphasized again. "I promised you that, so I will do it," Hiroko said coyly, "It will take some time." "Well, as long as you have the intention," Canyn nodded and stopped talking about the topic. At this time, a mature beauty in her thirties, wearing a professional suit, with a hot and sexy figure walked over.
