Next to the small section font is a picture of a girl in high spirits, who disappeared five days ago. Perhaps because of the sensitivity of this missing place, Song Yu's eyelids jumped a little inexplicably.

I don't know if this missing person notice was posted today or two days ago, she was about to get up and ask the waiter if there was a newspaper from yesterday and the day before yesterday, when she saw Peng Xi walk in.

Peng Xi had a smile on her face, and when she saw her holding the newspaper in her hand, she casually asked, "What are you looking at?"

As she spoke, she sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.

Song Yu sighed, pushed the newspaper in front of her, and said, "Have you read this missing person notice?"

Peng Xi glanced down, nodded, and said, "I know this." The girl's family went to see our editor-in-chief, and I was there. She didn't beat around the bush, and continued: "Her disappearance is a bit inexplicable, she doesn't have many friends, her social circle is not large, and she doesn't have a boyfriend." No one ever had a verbal altercation. Before she disappeared, she had not made or received any other phone calls except for a phone call from home asking her if she would go home for dinner. After calling the police, the police also checked all her communication methods, but there was nothing abnormal. She is a junior in her first year and has a good family. Because of her sudden disappearance, her grandparents were already in a hurry to get sick and go to the hospital. ”

Peng Xi sighed when he said this, and then said: "It's been a few days and there is no news, I guess it's more than lucky." Lao Huang has been running to the police station these days, and I heard that there has been no progress. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. In the past few years, the crime rate in Qinghe City has been quite low, but it is not excluded that there are some hidden perverts. The little girls in our club don't dare to go out at night now, and they also make an appointment to go home together when they work overtime. ”

Even though it's just a stranger, it's always sad to mention this kind of thing.

Song Yu was silent and did not speak, read the newspaper for a while, and asked, "Is it night when she disappeared?"

Peng Xi nodded and said, "Yes." The time captured by the surveillance was still early, it was more than eight o'clock. It stands to reason that there were quite a lot of people at that time......" she said, shaking her head, and added: "The saddest thing when this kind of thing happens is her family." I heard that she is a very filial and well-behaved girl, and she is usually not at school but at home. My only hobby is photography. I heard that during this time, it seems that I took the job of a magazine and planned to shoot a special feature about the old city and ancient alleys before I came here, who knew that such a thing would happen. ”

She sighed as she spoke.

Song Yu's heart was even more uneasy, he looked at Peng Xi and asked, "Isn't it the first time she came here that day?"

Peng Xi didn't expect her to ask this question, and couldn't help but be stunned. Then he said, "I don't know much about this, I didn't ask." But probably not. ”

Song Yu nodded indiscriminately, and the sneaky Tang Chengen that night and the scene of his meeting with people came to mind. A faint thought came to my heart.

Although she had always been uneasy, she was startled by the thought that came to her.

Before she could sort out her thoughts, Peng Xi waved her hand in front of her and asked, "What's wrong, what are you thinking?"

Song Yu suppressed the thought that came to him, came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Not much." She picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.

In the following time, Song Yu was distracted. Finally, after a hurried meal, he left thinking that he had something to do.

When she got into the car, she started to stay first.

She almost subconsciously linked this matter with Tang Chengen. But the brain gradually calmed down. Again, she thought she was thinking too much.

Tang Chengen didn't realize her existence that night, even if he was suspicious, there was no solid evidence, after all, this was a human life, how dare he do it?

Then thinking about it, Song Yu's heart was a little more stable, but he was still soulless. There is always a faint sense of unease.

The uneasiness affected her mood, and she couldn't keep up all afternoon. I can't calm down. It wasn't until I went to the studio and sat for two hours that I gradually calmed down.

She didn't call Tang Xu, and after making dinner in the evening, she sat on the balcony and started to stay.

Although it was a weekend, Tang Xu didn't come back until after ten o'clock. He probably saw the shoes at the door, and he wasn't surprised to see her sitting on the balcony. I went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, then walked to the balcony and asked, "When did you come back?"

Song Yu had been sitting on the balcony for more than two hours, and his body was a little stiff. Hearing his question, he raised his head slightly and replied simply, "Morning." ”

Tang Xu sighed, nodded, and asked, "Are you used to going over there?"

knew that he shouldn't listen to Tang Chengen's provocation, but at this moment, the photo on Tang Chengen's mobile phone suddenly appeared in Song Yu's mind. Her body stiffened even more, and it took a moment before she lowered her head and replied, "It's good." ”

Tang Xu didn't speak for a while, took out a cigarette and lit it. After a few puffs of smoke, he said, "If you need help, call Xiao Yun." ”

He had something to deal with, and after saying this, he turned around and went to the study.

Song Yu didn't speak, just raised his head to look at the lights outside. I don't know why, she suddenly remembered the bits and pieces that Tang Xu had done after her mother's death.

She calmed down, stared out for a moment and closed her eyes.

She didn't sit down on the balcony any longer, but sat for another ten minutes or so to get up and wash, and then collapsed on the bed.

She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but when she lay on the bed, she fell asleep in a daze.

Song woke up from the nightmare, gasping for breath, and sat on the bed for a while before relieving herself. Through the faint light outside, she saw that it was in the bedroom, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly. He sat in a daze for a moment and didn't move.

Probably because she was thinking about it day and dreaming at night, she actually dreamed of that girl. She stretched out her pale hand in a hazy pool of blood, asking her to save her.

She stood in the old alley, trying to come forward, but couldn't go. The whole person seemed to be frozen. I finally moved my body forward, but I couldn't see the girl's face clearly. Only the pale hand could be seen.

She reached out to grab the hand, but when she reached out, the hand disappeared without a trace.

When Tang Xu entered the bedroom, Song Yu was still immersed in the dream, her forehead was covered with fine and dense cold sweat, and her face was pale.

The sudden light made her subconsciously reach out to block it, and then looked at the door.

Tang Xu had just washed up, and his hair was still dripping wet. Glancing at her, he asked as he walked inside, "Have a nightmare?"

Song Yu wanted to shake his head, but he restrained himself and hummed lowly.

Her mouth was so dry that she got up as she spoke, intending to go to the kitchen to pour water.

She couldn't sleep, and after pouring water and drinking it, she stood in the living room in a daze.

She stood for more than ten minutes, and Tang Xu saw that she didn't go into the bedroom for a long time, and when she came out, he raised his eyebrows when he saw her standing, and asked, "Don't you plan to sleep?"

He yawned as he spoke.

Song Yu came back to his senses and said something. He set aside the cup he had been holding and walked into the bedroom.

She was a little uneasy, and as soon as she sat down on the bed, she looked at him when she saw Tang Xu standing at the door without moving.

She only found out that Tang Xu had been watching her all along. When she looked over, he withdrew his gaze, walked to the bedside, and asked, "What are you dreaming about?"

Song Yu shook his head, said nothing, and then lay down on the bed.

She didn't plan to say that Tang Xu didn't ask again, and lay down.

Song couldn't sleep, closed his eyes, and the pale hand appeared in front of him. She stiffened and lay there.

Perhaps because of the fragility of the night, she was so uneasy. After lying down for a while, he still asked, "Tang Xu, have you slept?"

Her voice was soft, and she thought that Tang Xu had already fallen asleep, but he quickly said lazily: "No." You're as stiff as a piece of wood, and no one can sleep. ”

Song Yu was silent at this point.

She didn't speak, Tang Xu didn't speak, and she didn't ask her anything.

Song Yu paused for a moment and asked, "Recently, there is a missing missing missing person notice, have you seen it?"

Tang Xu opened his eyes in the dark, didn't answer whether he had seen it or not, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Yu sat up from the bed, was silent for a moment, and said laboriously: "I'm afraid I caused this matter." ”

I thought Tang Xu would be surprised, but he didn't. His reaction was mediocre, and he also sat up and turned on the light, asking, "What's going on?"

Song Yu didn't answer at this time, just got up and got out of bed.

She got out of bed, and Tang Xu also got out of bed.

She didn't speak all the time, but when she went to the studio, she turned on the computer and found the encrypted photo, and then said in a slightly trembling voice: "This photo was taken in the alley near the disappearance of the female student before she disappeared." ”

Although she didn't make any introductions, Tang Xu still recognized the person in the photo as Tang Chengen at a glance. His eyes darkened, and after looking at the picture for a moment, he asked, "What the hell is going on?"

His gaze moved to Song Yu's pale face.

Although I don't know if this matter is really related to the disappearance of the girl, Song Yu didn't hide it, and told her in detail about the fact that she went back to find an umbrella after dinner with Peng Xi that day and met Tang Chengen.

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes weakly, looked at Tang Xu, and asked, "Could this matter have anything to do with him?" When the girl had an accident, I heard that she was filming the old city and ancient alleys over there. It shouldn't be her first time there. ”

Tang Xu's eyes were dull and he didn't speak. stared at the photo for a while, and then took out his mobile phone to call Xiao Yun.

Although it was the middle of the night, Xiao Yun quickly picked up the phone. Only then did he call Mr. Tang, and Tang Xu ordered: "Find out the newspapers of the past two days, and send me the section of the missing person notice." I'll wait to see right away. ”

His command was clueless. Xiao Yun didn't ask more, and said yes, saying that it would be sent to his mailbox soon.

Tang Xu hummed lightly, and after hanging up the phone, he saw Song Yu standing with a pale face, and said, "You go to sleep for a while, I will investigate this matter." I'll tell you when there's news. ”

He walked to the study as he spoke, where Song Yu could sleep, and followed him silently.

Tang Xu didn't stop her, and followed him into the study. Then turn on your computer and log in to your mailbox.

Xiao Yun's movements have always been fast, and after waiting for less than five minutes, he took a photo of the missing person notice section of the newspaper for two days.

Tang Xu didn't speak, frowning and looking at the section.

The newspaper presentation is simple and does not provide any useful clues. After reading it briefly, Tang Xu took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Yun again and asked him to investigate the matter. In the end, let him inquire secretly, and don't let people know for the time being.

Xiao Yun answered, and he hung up the phone.

Song was always by his side while he was doing this. After he finished the call, he looked at the missing person notice for a while, and then turned back to Song Yu and said, "It may not be related." It also takes time for people to check, you go and rest, and I'll tell you as soon as there is news. ”

The expression on his face was faint, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

At this time, it was useless to be anxious, Song Yu still nodded in the end, and said thank you again after a while.

Tang Xu glanced at her lightly and said, "Sleep well, don't think nonsense." He paused slightly, frowned, and asked, "Who else knows about the picture you took but me?"

Song Yu shook his head and said, "No one knows, I didn't tell anyone." ”

Tang Xu snorted and didn't speak for a while. When Song Yu was about to go back to the room, he asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "You followed him that day, did he notice something?"

Just now, she just said it briefly, but she didn't say the specific details. He shook his head and said, "No." No, I didn't keep up with him, to be exact. He was missing when I entered the alley. It was also a coincidence that he was photographed trading with that person. I left very soon after the photograph, and it stands to reason that he wouldn't have noticed. ”

A cold smile appeared on Tang Xu's lips when he heard this, and he said, "You are wrong, you don't know my second brother too well. His suspicions were always the greatest. There is no one in the world who can be trusted. ”

There was some disdain in his tone, and he didn't intend to continue on this topic, and said: "If you meet him in the future, stay away, if you feel that something is wrong, call me, I will arrange." He has always been ruthless, and Mrs. Tang San's identity can't keep you. He stopped the topic and said to Song Yu: "Okay, go to sleep." ”

Song Yu was a little distracted, and only after a while did he answer in a low voice and went back to the room.

She soon lay down on the bed, Tang Xu didn't know what she was doing, and never returned to the room.

Song couldn't sleep, so he lay down until dawn.

She got up at six o'clock the next day, and she planned to go to the study to call Tang Xu after making breakfast. But when I got to the living room, I saw a note left by Tang Xu, saying that he should come back before noon and let her not go anywhere for the time being.

He didn't know when he left, and she didn't hear him open the door.

It was still very early at this time, and he went out at an earlier time, so I don't know if there was any clue.

Song wanted to call him, but in the end he was afraid that he would disturb him on his errands, but he still didn't call. After messing around and eating, he looked at the door and waited for him to come back.

Tang Xu said that he would come back before noon, but he never came back. Song Yu had to return to Yun'an City in the afternoon, and when he was about to call Tang Xu at one o'clock, his phone came first.

Song Yugang fed, and he asked on the other end of the phone, "Have you watched the news?"

Song Yu was stunned and said no.

Tang Xu seemed to be driving, and there was a car horn over there. After a slight pause, he said, "I'm on the way back, you can watch the news." The girl has been killed, and her killer has been caught. ”

His tone was calm, and he couldn't hear anything.

Song Yu's heart jumped violently, he responded with a good sound, and immediately turned on the news after hanging up the phone in a hurry.

The first piece of local news was the news that the schoolgirl's body had been found and that the killer had turned himself in.

Song Yu clicked into the page, which briefly introduced the identity of the murderer. He is an unemployed vagrant and an addict. When he came home that night, he saw that he wanted to make money, so he kidnapped the girl. Angry that she didn't have much cash on her, she killed someone.

After hiding the body at home for a few days, he still couldn't withstand the psychological pressure, so he went to the police station in the jurisdiction in the early hours of this morning and turned himself in.

A text on the top introduces the murderer, and on the bottom is a photo of him. A thin and weak man, his face is coded, and his face is not visible.

Neither the motive for the murder nor the reason for surrendering can be found in any loopholes. But looking at the man's thin and weak body, Song Yu didn't feel right no matter how he looked at it.

The police have been collecting clues in the neighborhood since the time they called the police, but there are no clues. In other words, the girl's disappearance was silent. Not even a trace was left.

And this thin and weak man obviously couldn't quietly kidnap and bring a girl about his height to his home without leaving any traces.

Unless the girl herself followed him into the house.

Song Yu's mind was in a mess, and before he could sort it out, Tang Xu opened the door and walked in.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he couldn't see it at all. Seeing Song Yu standing up, he asked, "Have you seen it?"

Song Yu was full of questions, and nodded when he heard him ask. After a pause, he asked, "Do you think it's true?"

She said, her eyes falling on the news again. Without waiting for Tang to speak, he continued: "It is impossible for him to get people to the house without leaving any traces. ”

Tang Xu had also read the news, and he sighed as he walked inside, but he didn't express any opinions.
