Chapter 4: Sharp Gaze

Pushing open the door of the Chunlai Teahouse, I saw a man in a black casual shirt sitting inside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThere aren't many people in the teahouse today, so presumably he is the man who called before.

The man's name is Sun Xingye, and he has a younger sister named Sun Xingmei, who is 18 years old this year and is in her second year of college. She was supposed to go home from vacation a month ago, but after she got off the train, her family received one last call from her, saying that she would be home soon. But then the person disappeared, and there is no one alive or dead.

A few days ago, Sun Xingye's wife suddenly dreamed that her daughter was back, and told her that it was too cold outside, and she didn't even have any clothes on her. After waking up from the dream, the old lady felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that her daughter was only afraid of more bad luck.

The police have been looking for more than a month, but there is still no result. So they asked someone to find Master Li. After praying to his sister, Master Li said that his sister was afraid that she was no longer there, and that the top priority now was to find the girl's body first and let her be buried in the ground.

But this matter is not easy to say, the local police dispatched hundreds of people to search for Sun Xingmei in the nearby area, but they did not find it, and it was even more difficult for them to find it by themselves. In the end, Master Li gave my phone number to Sun Xingye, and he found me.

I listened to Sun Xingye talk about the things before and after, and then I remembered the Uncle Li I met a few days ago. I thought he was just a horse boy next to Mr. Kuang, but when I heard Sun Xingye say this today, he turned out to be a powerful character!

Sun Xingye was eager to find his sister, and he promised me that if I could help their family find my sister, he would give me an honorarium of 30,000 yuan, and if I couldn't find them, they would also take care of my round-trip travel expenses, food and accommodation and other expenses.

As soon as I heard this, I asked, "Where is your home?"

Sun Xingye glanced at me, "My home is in Ya'an, Sichuan. ā€

It's the first time I've been to Sichuan since I'm older, and it's July now, and the climate here is humid and hot, and I, a native northerner, am really not used to it.

Sun Xingye's home is in a small county town in Ya'an, a place where almost all the buildings were rebuilt after the 2013 disaster, so the street is now very well planned, and on the surface it should be a fairly wealthy place.

As soon as the two of us got off the train, Sun Xingye arranged for me to stay in a "Bashu" hotel with local characteristics, and he should have great hopes for me, so he took good care of me along the way. This makes me a little embarrassed, because after all, I don't dare to pack a ticket in what the situation is, and if that girl is abducted by a trafficker, then I really can't help it.

The proprietress of the "Bashu" hotel is a northeasterner, and she was very enthusiastic when she saw me. I don't know if it's my charisma, buddy, or is she the same for every guest?

"Handsome guy, your first time in Sichuan?" said the proprietress with a smile on her face.

I didn't answer this question directly, but turned the conversation to her and asked her a question, "Boss, listen to your accent from the Northeast!

She glanced me up and down, and said with a smile: "Heilongjiang, I married here a few years ago, and then that dead ghost died in a car accident, and I had to do it in this hotel as a woman." ā€

After chatting with her for a few words, I took the room card to room 305, and as soon as I opened the door, a musty smell came to my face, and I frowned. Seeing this, Sun Xingye hurriedly said embarrassedly: "The climate here is a little humid, so there is a bit of moldy smell in the room, and you northerners may not be used to it." Then he went to the window, stretched out his hand, and opened the window.

I smiled at him and said, "It's okay, just get used to it!"

Seeing that I didn't care too much, he said gratefully: "Brother Jinbao, you must be tired when you just arrived, you have a good rest today, and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning to take you to my house." ā€

I nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go back and rest first." ā€

After Sun Xingye left, I let out a long breath, and I could finally lie quietly alone for a while! But as soon as I lay on the bed, I felt as if these bedding had just been taken out of the dry bucket, and the dampness made me feel uncomfortable. The thought of having to live in such a room for the past few days makes me feel miserable......

The location of this "Bashu" hotel is not bad, there is a street outside, it is fine during the day, but at night it is a night market street outside! The sound of selling and people laughing and making noise, so that I can't go to bed early at all.

In desperation, I had to get dressed and go downstairs to this very lively night market. When I came down, I saw that this is not so much a night market as a snack street, where vendors set up stalls to buy all kinds of special snacks from Sichuan.

I couldn't taste a few of them, and in the end my mouth was numb, and it seems that these snacks have a common feature, that is, spicy.

But just as I looked down and ate the skewers in my hand, I suddenly felt a sharp gaze shooting from a distance, and I was startled in my heart, and quickly looked back! But there were too many pedestrians coming and going behind me, and it was difficult to find the owner of that gaze just now.

Growing up, I always believed in my feelings, and while I didn't know if that gaze was good or bad for me, one thing I was sure of was that he was watching me.

It's not a good thing for an inconspicuous outsider like me to be targeted, and I hurriedly checked out and left when I thought of it. When I got back to my room, I was still a little panicked, and I secretly looked at the pedestrians on the street below through the curtains, but I didn't find anything unusual.

I had no dreams all night, I slept well, but I don't know if I ate too much spicy food, or the bedding was too damp, so I went to the toilet several times in the middle of the night, and I didn't sleep well.

The next morning, Sun Xingye came before 8 o'clock, I can understand his mood, after all, his sister is gone, and he is still alive and dead, and it is normal to be anxious to know the result, so I had a simple breakfast with him and drove straight to his house......

Sun Xingye's home is a two-story building, the front yard is a small factory producing motorcycle accessories, and the backyard is full of processed semi-finished products.

His parents were also ordinary farmers, and when they saw that Sun Xingye had invited me, they looked at me with tears in their eyes...... Being looked at by their expectant faces, my heart was bottomless.

Sun Xingmei's room is on the second floor, and before I came, I told Sun Xingye that I needed one of his sister's favorite things when she was at home. In Sun Xingye's words, he didn't know this sister. Thinking about it, Sun Xingye is much more Chinese New Year's Eve today, but his sister is only 18 years old, and the generation gap in age is obvious.
