"I don't know. Zhang Xiao saw that Ganluo's face was a little pale, "Ganluo?"

"I'm fine. ”

"The shed is almost burning. Ganluo squatted on the ground and took out the fruit knife in his trouser pocket, "It's not early, I have to hurry home, let's hurry up." ”

"You wait for me here, I'll go over and see ......" Zhang Xiao didn't finish speaking, when he saw that Gan Luo had already gotten up and walked towards the position of the shed.

She was cautious, and did not move again when she approached the shed, and looked around before stepping out to remove the reeds.

It had rained the night before, and the front of the shed was muddy, and the messy footprints were clear.

She looked up at the sky, and the clouds were very low, low and thick, and there should be a rainstorm soon.

This place is close to the creek, there is no channel for draining the water here, the stream will rise in case of heavy rain, the outside of the shed is low-lying, and the rain collects, and after tonight, there is not much left of today's traces.

Seeing Gan Luo pick up the knife and slash towards the shoe print, Zhang Xiao raised his hand to stop it, "Wait a minute." ”

Ganluo did not cut the knife, but compared the size of the shoe print with a knife, and quickly cut the reed pole according to the size and spread it on the ground, and tied the flat pole with a leaf between the pole.

Zhang Xiao was inspecting the path around the shed, and a hidden path was hidden into the woods, and according to Ganluo, a fishing port was a mile away.

He took the book from his bag, pulled the postscript on the last page of the book, folded it in half, measured it with his thumb and index finger, and drew two dots on the fold line with a signature pen, between which was fifteen centimeters.

"Is this still taught in school?" Zhang Xiao was a little surprised to see Gan Luo collecting footprint information.

"Nope. ”

As he spoke, there was a gust of wind from the south of the reeds, and the sound of rolling thunder was getting closer and closer, and the raindrops the size of beans began to fall, and the torrential rain was immediately discharged.

Ganluo didn't look up, the fruit knife in his hand stabbed into the soil, and directly divided the shoe print into four pieces along the edge of the shoe.

She didn't have that much time, so she dug up the clay blocks with the whole shoe print and laid them flat on a row of poles made of reed poles.

In the same way, Ganlo collected four different footprints.

"One more, in addition to those three, there was one more recently. ”

The mud was gradually wetted by the raindrops and became denser and denser.

The reed rods lined up at the bottom of the plastic bag were placed as support, and Gan Luo put the clay pieces of shoe prints into the plastic bag in order.

Gan Luo handed over the plastic bag she had packed in her hand to Zhang Xiao, the mouth of the bag was fastened tightly, her face was already wet, her hair was wet on her cheeks, and she looked up at Zhang Xiao:

"It's divided into mud blocks, and when you put them together, you can take the size reference on the paper and put them in the bag. What's your catch?"

"Everything in the shed burned out. But found this on the other side of the woods. Zhang Xiao handed the clothes he was holding in his hand to Ganluo, "It's a girl's clothes." ”

"As for whether it's a missing person, we have to take it back and confirm it. ”

"Blood?" Ganlo saw a reddish-brown patch on the edge of the corner of his clothes.

"Hmm. Zhang Xiao nodded, "It's nearly seven o'clock, it's not safe for you to go home alone, I'll send you back later." ”

"Good. ”

Ganluo nodded in agreement, thinking of the familiar voice, she was still a little flustered in her heart, thinking that it would be more reassuring to have a police escort.

Seeing Zhang Xiao take off his coat and wrap the bloody clothes, he touched the inside of the schoolbag and pulled out a plastic bag, "Put it inside." ”

The water level in the stream has risen, and the sound of the water is more turbulent than before.

Passing by the yellow thing, Gan Luo touched the bag in his schoolbag, took out the plastic bag containing the umbrella, and handed it to Zhang Xiao, "You come." ”

"Why do you have so many bags, you are well prepared. ”

Zhang Xiao took it, poked it with a reed pole, and put the yellow thing into the bag.

"I usually stuff useless bags in my school bag and recycle them. ”

"The owner of this lump should have been constipated recently. Ganlo moved to the side, "You can go to the pharmacy in town and ask if there are any laxative pills for men." ”

"That's too big. ”

Zhang Xiao tidied up, washed his hands in the stream, his face was covered with rain, turned his coat over, and put it on Ganluo's head.

"Take it for testing first, although it has been a long time, but I don't let go of any clues. ”

"Oh. Ganlo nodded.

"Good day!"

Zhang Xiao grinned, he squinted in the rain, and the girl in front of him was a little unexpected.

"It's ok. First go to the brick kiln to take shelter from the rain. ”

Fortunately, the motherwort was covered with a thick layer of reed leaves, which were still dry, and Ganluo dragged it into the brick kiln.

The clothes on his body were soaked, but Gan Luo still wrapped them around his body, and Zhang Xiao touched the lighter and used the hay stored in the brick kiln to make a fire.

"Thank you. Ganlo took off his coat and handed it to him.

took his coat and saw that Gan Luo was still dripping, Zhang Xiao said kindly: "You can take off your coat and bake it." ”

"No, I don't. Ganlo waved his hand and glanced at the things on the ground, "How do you explain this pile?"

"I have my own way, you don't have to worry, the bureau won't pull you in. ”

Ganlo nodded.

Seeing Ganluo shrinking down, he added some more hay to the fire, "Cold?"

"It's not cold. ”

Seeing that she was still a little trembling, Zhang Xiao frowned, the little girl was quite stubborn, but it was strange that she didn't catch a cold wrapped in wet clothes like this, and seeing that the rain had not decreased, he sent a text message to Xiaoliu.

In addition to the hustle and bustle of the torrential rain, the silence in the brick kiln was almost awkward.

Zhang Xiao remembered that when he was talking to Gan Luo at school, he saw the kid, and couldn't help but break the silence and said, "You and Zhang Qian are in the same class, right?"

"Hmm. Do you know him?" said Ganlo had some guessing in his mind.

"It's more than awareness. Zhang Xiao smiled: "I am his brother." How's your relationship with him?"

"General. ”

"Oh. "It's a dead day.

With a pinch of his hands, Ganluo looked at him, thinking that now he had found some clues, but there were not many, and she was not sure if the other party could agree.

Coupled with the fact that he was Zhang Gan's elder brother, Gan Luo hesitated a little, and finally looked up at Zhang Xiao and said, "Can you do me a favor." ”

Thinking of the picture of Ganluo collecting footprints in the rain, I thought to myself, why should I let a girl fight like this?

Zhang Xiao was a little curious, and couldn't help nodding, "You speak." ”

He wasn't going to fool around, he thought he would help her if he could.

"Help me check the Yueyang Primary School in S City, did there ever happen to a case of falling from a building four years ago?"

"If this can't be. Seeing Zhang Xiao frowning, Gan Luo continued:

"Or, help me check the whereabouts of teachers Zhang Xueying and Liu Guoliang in Yueyang Primary School in S City four years ago, Yueyang Primary School has been bulldozed, and the teacher wants to continue to serve as the church for the record with the Education Bureau, and the teacher's whereabouts can be asked by the Education Bureau. ”

"Good. Zhang Xiao agreed, looking at Gan Luo's eyes with exploration, "Zhang Qian also studied in Yueyang Primary School, are you elementary school classmates?"

"Hmm. Ganlo nodded.

"In the same class?"

Gan Luo snorted, and with the other party's question, she regretted asking Zhang Xiao to help.

Juezhi Ganluo's avoidance, Zhang Xiao didn't ask again, after all, Zhang Gan's personality is not very popular with girls.

"My younger brother is very naughty, he was spoiled by his mother since he was a child, he transferred to Yueyang Primary School when he was in the fourth grade, alas, he couldn't persuade him at that time. ”

Gan Luo took the branch and stirred the fire, "He's your own brother?"

"Half-brother, not very close to me, I grew up in the army, and I haven't seen him a few times, that is, I have seen him a lot recently. ”
