Yang Zhenyu and the tiger held an umbrella and stood at the door of the black and white piano shop on Tamsui Street. The sky was dark and cold, and thin raindrops slowly fell in the air, hitting the cloth of the umbrella propped up, making a dense crackling sound, and dripping from the air along the skeleton.

There was no one on the road, and the raindrops splashed on Yang Zhenyu's calves, which was a little cold.

The glass door of the black and white piano shop was hung with an old large iron lock, slightly rusty. After more than 2 months of visiting, it has become a prehistoric ruin.

"It's still not open. Yang Zhenyu said.

"What to do?" asked the tiger.

"I don't know. ”

After the company was founded, each member of the Scrapwood Band received a 2% stake, which was worth about $200,000. Yang Zhenyu and the others are like Spiegel in their hearts, these stocks were given by Fang Yanbai, completely because of the close relationship.

Everyone is holding back their energy and wants to do some work for the company.

At this time, Yu Haiyang and Ding Bo were still in the dormitory of the school, brewing to make an APP, draw a flowchart, frantically search for information on GitHub, and make up for the skill points of programming. The tiger was not busy for the time being, so he accompanied Yang Zhenyu to find Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao's full name is Zhao Lezhi, and his hometown is in a small county town in the northwest province. He was admitted to a university in Koto that year, and when he arrived in a fresh big city, he quickly became obsessed with rock music. Lao Zhao dropped out of school and concentrated on being a band, but he never mixed it up. After tossing for a few years, he opened a black and white piano shop and barely had a livelihood.

Fortunately, his girlfriend never left him.

10 years later, in 2017, his girlfriend couldn't stand the despair and broke up with him. Lao Zhao was deeply stimulated and disappeared mysteriously.

Every time Yang Zhenyu thinks of Lao Zhao, he has a complicated emotion. He felt that if he hadn't met Fang Yan, he would have taken a similar path to Lao Zhao. Hold on to musical ideals in the dark, and live hard until it is unsustainable.

Personality is the main issue. Lao Zhao has an extreme temperament and is good at going all the way to the black. Yang Zhenyu too.

Lao Zhao paid a heavy price for his ideals. To put it mildly, he is the ideal cannon fodder.

Next to the black and white piano shop, there are also several half-dead piano shops, and there is a dim commissary. Yang Zhenyu inquired one by one, and said that he hadn't seen Lao Zhao for more than 2 months.

The two took shelter from the rain in a piano shop.

"Do you have Lao Wang's mobile phone number?" he asked Tiger. Lao Wang is a friend of Lao Zhao's band, a drummer and poet. Lao Wang is also having a hard time.

"Nope. ”

"What then?"

The tiger said in a rough voice, "There should be a plain." He knows a lot of people, you ask him. ”

Ping Yuan is the president of the German-Italian University Guitar Association, and has a holiday with Yang Zhenyu. Yang Zhenyu reluctantly called Pingyuan.

"Lao Wang. Which old king ?...... I don't have his phone either. I'll help you ask. "The attitude of the plains was good.

"Thank you. ”

Plains is a very arrogant man. 2 months ago, he wanted to humiliate Yang Zhenyu, but he was ridiculed by Fang Yan in public, and since then he has restrained a lot. Later, the Waste Wood Band passed the audition for the band competition, and he was impressed by Yang Zhenyu and was a lot more polite.

Soon, Lao Wang's phone number was sent.

Yang Zhenyu called Lao Wang and asked about Lao Zhao's whereabouts.

"Brother Zhao has returned to his hometown. ”

"Huh, go home?"

"He's out of love. Some time ago, I said I would go home and rest for a while. Lao Wang said. "I can't reach him. Yes, yes, his phone kept turning off. ”

"Oh. Is he alright?"

"Can't die. On the other side of the phone, there were a few hoarse wry smiles from Lao Wang. Yang Zhenyu seemed to be able to see the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Lao Wang, how are you doing, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"I ......"

"Huh?"

"I'm carrying water in the supermarket. ”

"Carrying water?"

"Yes. Carrying water. Mineral water. ”

“……”

A picture came to Yang Zhenyu's mind, Lao Wang grinned, holding boxes of mineral water, walking through the shelves of the supermarket. But Lao Zhao is fine, and he is relieved.

"Lao Wang, remember this number, this is my mobile phone. I invite you to drink. ”

"Good. ”

Yang Zhenyu was just about to hang up the phone, but suddenly his heart was blessed, and he asked again: "Do you know how Lao Zhao's girlfriend is?"

"Come to think of it, she seems to have gone to the book. ”

"Uh. ”

"Let's study abroad and go to school. Lao Zhao once drank too much and said. ”

Yang Zhenyu was a little dizzy.

After hanging up the phone, he made up the story of Lao Zhao in his brain. His girlfriend went to study abroad, and he cried alone in the dark night, and finally got a visa and went to a foreign country not far away to find his ex-girlfriend in an attempt to get back together. Not long after, Lao Zhao lived on the streets, begging to survive.

Maybe one day he will die in a foreign country.

"This is illogical!" Yang Zhenyu said. He called Fang Yan to report on the information he had gathered.

"I think so, it's weird. ”

"Where are you?"

"I'm on the flyover...... It was the place where I met Lao Zhao yesterday. Fang Yan said. On the flyover in Shinjuku, Tokyo, there are many tourists who are shopping hard, and local office workers and students are all hurrying by. During the day, the wanderers were gone.

Yang Zhenyu corrected: "He doesn't have to be Lao Zhao. ”

"I don't think so. He asked me for money last night, I think Lao Zhao's temper won't beg casually. Moreover, he seems to have mental problems as well. It looks stupid. ”

"Lao Zhao is a little dumbfounded. Yang Zhenyu said.

……

Early this morning, Yuan Yuan and Feng Lu continued to go out to play, and they went to the world's second tallest building, the 634-meter-tall Tokyo Skytree. Channing was still hiding in the hotel. Fang Yan was not worried about Lao Zhao, and ran to the overpass to turn around a few times.

Wanderers have a daily pattern of picking up trash, looking for food discarded from supermarkets, or going to gathering points to collect food from the government. Therefore, it is normal not to see Lao Zhao during the day.

Fang Yan thought about it carefully. If that wanderer is really Lao Zhao, then there are two possibilities. First, Lao Zhao was strongly stimulated, went crazy, and lost all his memories. The second is that Lao Zhao is not crazy, he still knows himself, but he can't wipe his face, he doesn't want to admit it, and he pretends to be a wanderer begging for himself.

Why is he living on the streets?

Anyway, Lao Zhao had no desire to communicate with him.

Why don't you find the police, or the embassy? Fang Yan called Yuan Yuan and told him what he thought.

"It's dangerous to be a wanderer. After listening to this, Yuan Yuan was a little worried about Lao Zhao, and she said eagerly. "Have you seen 'The Devotion of Suspect X'?"

“…… What?"

"It's a famous detective novel by Keigo Higashino. Later, it was made into a movie, and it was very good. Uncle Su Youpeng of the Little Tigers also made this movie last year, which was not very good. ”

"No, I haven't seen it. ”

"Then I'll tell you about it. There is a math genius who is very fond of his neighbor, a single mother. Later, the single mother killed her ex-husband and was forced. The genius likes her very much and wants to help her escape murder. So so, he wants to help single mothers and make a perfect alibi. ”

Yuan Yuan's IQ fluctuated greatly, and Fang Yan was completely speechless, listening silently.

"Guess what a perfect alibi is? He was a genius who concocted a scam that could fool everyone, and it was the simplest of scams. Ah, yes!"

"Huh?"

Yuan Yuan's voice suddenly became very weak, and he said seriously: "I can't spoil it, I can't do this to you." Read the novel yourself. ”

"Ahem......"

"I mean, wanderers are very pitiful and easy to kill. Go and save him. ”

Fang Yan was a little angry. Sister, you're not a spoiler?

Back at the hotel, Fang Yan went to the 28th floor and knocked on Qian Ning's door. A crack opened in the door, revealing Channing's bright eyes.

"Woke up?"

"Come in. ”

"Not going in. I'm just talking about Lao Zhao. Fang Yan stood at the door and told Lao Zhao about his situation.

Qian Ning was a little puzzled, tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "You can go to him again tonight, just make it clear." Why contact the embassy?"

"Lao Zhao must be in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have slept on the overpass. ”

Channing was very disdainful and said, "Didn't you only see him once? What do you care about him? He didn't even pay attention to you last night, and asked you for money. ”

"Of course he's a friend. I can't leave it alone. ”

It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Fang Yan and Qian Ning went out to forage for food. Channing wore slippers and walked on the ground. She hadn't slept all night, she was a little dazed by the scorching sun, and her body gradually relaxed as she walked through the streets.

Are we like a couple?, she thought.

Not very much.

Qian Ning had a lot of things on hand, and she didn't want to go out to eat. But now that it's out, she really wants to eat a big meal. This was the first time she had eaten alone with Fang Yan.
