In the afternoon, after Sharon finished her work, she left the office with her things.
She said, "Tiffany, I'm going out for a while.I might not come back here and go straight home tonight."
Tiffany nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"
"There are some clues of the pocket watch I investigated earlier.I have an appointment with the person in charge.’ Tiffany said, "Is he reliable?"
"Maybe,’ Sharon said.
"I asked an old friend to help me investigate it."
"That's fine.Anyway, there's nothing to do in the studio.I'll go with you.If something happens, I can help you.I'm worried if you go by yourself.’
"OK."
After a few words with the workers in the studio, Sharon and Tiffany left together.
Tiffany drove her car to an abandoned factory on the address.
As she drove, she asked, "Is this it? It seems that there's no one here, right?"
Sharon checked the address again, "This should be it ...Turn right at the next intersection.It's almost there."
Tiffany turned the car right.
After driving for several hundred meters, she saw a gray-haired old man standing in front of the locked factory.
"This is the place," Sharon said.
After getting off the car, Sharon asked, "Hello.Is this Mr.Muller?"
The old man smiled and nodded, "Are you Ms.Allyson?"
"Yes,' said Sharon, "This is my friend.She comes with me.’
After greeting them, the old man walked to the door of the factory.
He took out a bunch of keys with trembling hands.
After trying for a long time, he opened the door.
Tiffany stood beside Sharon and whispered, "Are you sure he can give you any useful clues? He can hardly put the key in the lock.’
Sharon kept smiling and nudged her.
She lowered her voice, "Don't be rude.’
"Look at the bunch of keys in his hand.If he tries them one by one, we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow.’
Just as Tiffany finished her words, the old man said, "Alright, come with me."
Sharon replied and followed.
As the two gates were pushed open, an old aura mixed with dust rushed over.
Sharon could not help but choke and waved the dust away.
The old man walked to the wall and turned on the lights of the warehouse.
He said, "It's been a long time since anyone came here.You're lucky.In two weeks, this factory will be demolished and the documents will be destroyed.It will be much more difficult to find them again at that time."
Sharon looked at the huge warehouse and the rows of documents on the shelves.
"Are all the documents here?"
"That's right.You might not believe it.Although the watch factory was shut down now, twenty or thirty years ago, we were one of the top watch manufacturers.We have shops all over the country, so there were many customers.’
As he spoke, the old man sighed, "I thought it was nostalgia, so even if the factory was gone, I keep the information about these customers."
Tiffany was stunned, "Then ...So many documents! We might not find the right one until next year if we were to flip through it one by one."
The old man added, "It won't be that long.I remember the pocket watch you sent over.The craftsmanship and products were all top-notch at that time, and there weren't many customers could afford it.Even if they were sold at various stores, their information would be submitted to the headquarters.Therefore, if you search in the documents of the headquarters, you could definitely find the information of your pocket watch."
As the old man spoke, he took them to the innermost shelves.
"Here they are."
