Chapter 9: Hidden Characters

*

After a few days of visits and investigations, the key suspect was basically locked on the boy in the black hoodie.

"We doubled the scope of our search and saw him in supermarkets, hardware stores and second-hand markets along these roads. And if you draw circles from these places, he should live near Ling'an University. Sung Han-tae said as he drew a few circles on a map of the city of Yeongan, and in the middle of those circles was the city's best university, Ling'an University.

And this university is also the alma mater of Shang Xiaoyu and Wan Shuang.

"Start the investigation in the school first, check all the teachers and staff who have a relationship with Wan Shuang, and send a psychological portrait to see if you can find out who knows this person." Qin Qin said, "Meng Xuan, you go to check Wan Shuang's classmates, you look harmless." ”

"I want to praise me for being handsome and straightforward, when did you become so shy, Lao Qin." Meng Xuan was not ashamed.

"Hurry up." Qin Qin behaved like an old cadre.

Meng Xuanxue's TVB policeman stretched out his index finger and middle finger and nodded on his forehead, and said the line Yes'sir.

Meng Xuan thought that since Shang Xiaoyu and Wan Shuang were roommates, they might be closer than ordinary classmates, and they might know some little secrets that outsiders didn't know.

Thinking so, Meng Xuan took action and dialed Shang Xiaoyu's phone.

Shang Xiaoyu remembered that when she went out in the morning, she warned Meng Xuan not to disturb her when the sky fell today. Today is the birthday of Professor Xi of their school, and it just so happens that the students have been busy with internships, graduation theses and other things recently, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, so everyone discussed going to Professor Xi's house to make a birthday banquet in person.

Professor Xi likes to eat fish, so the fishing rod at the bottom of the box given by his father can just come in handy. Shang Xiaoyu got up early in the morning and took a two-hour long-distance bus to the fishing ground that her father often brought her to when she was a child. As a result, as soon as she set up the bait, she saw the word Meng Xuan dancing with joy on the caller ID, and her anger was overflowing.

"Meng Xuan! What did I tell you! Shang Xiaoyu opened his mouth angrily and yelled at him.

"Auntie, grandma, I'll just ask, and I'll hang up immediately." Meng Xuan was also mentally prepared before calling, "Do you have any classmates or anything like that, or graduation photos?" ”

"Big brother, I haven't graduated yet, where can I get a graduation photo to be recorded by my classmates." Shang Xiaoyu knows that she is an elderly student, which often gives people the illusion that she has already left the campus, but she also has a baby face, and being a student should not be so abrupt.

"It's not yours, it's Wanshuang, aren't you a dormitory?" Meng Xuan explained.

Shang Xiaoyu looked at the fishing rod in his hand, thought of the next birthday banquet, and hurriedly said, "Oh, no, no." ”

Hurriedly hung up the phone, Shang Xiaoyu threw out the fishing line in his impression of his father's fishing, and the sudden bait splashed a small splash on the surface of the lake, and there were ripples on the lake. Everything is ready, now it's just a matter of waiting for the fish to take the bait.

However, the heavens did not grant the wish.

I don't know if I didn't get the true inheritance of my father or the fish in this water area are too good to look down on her bait, Shang Xiaoyu sat there for two hours under the big sun and didn't catch a single fish, and even the earthworm tied to the hook was dying. It seems that she will only have to go to the seafood market to buy a few fresh live fish.

When he waited for the long-distance bus, Shang Xiaoyu got into the car listlessly holding a fishing rod. When the driver saw her brand-name fishing rod, he smiled and said, "Girl, did you go fishing at the fishing ground in front?" ”

Shang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I didn't catch any of them." ”

"I don't blame you, that fishing ground was abandoned half a year ago." The driver master said.

"Why, wasn't it quite lively before?" When I was young, my father had to get up early to get up early to get a good position, but now that I think about it, it seems that there was really no one just now.

The driver closed the car door and said, "Anyway, the fish and shrimp are all dead for some reason, and no one is coming." I remember that the last person who came to fish was a family of three, and that time I happened to bump into the sports car, and their little girl accidentally fell into it, and my parents couldn't swim, or I rescued it. ”

Seeing that the driver opened the conversation box and talked endlessly about his feats of righteousness and bravery, Shang Xiaoyu sat behind and listened with an embarrassed and polite smile. Who let there be no one in the suburbs early in the morning, but fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to get on the car dealer Xiao Yu to be relieved.

After picking two fresh small fish from the seafood market, Shang Xiaoyu went to Professor Xi's house, because the time was delayed back and forth, and when she arrived, almost all the classmates had already arrived, and they were all busy in the kitchen.

"Xiao Yu, you're here in a hurry." Professor Xi said jokingly.

"Why, Professor, I'll go to the kitchen." Shang Xiaoyu touched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly carried the fish into the kitchen.

Now in charge of the kitchen is the head of their class, and he is also the head of the dormitory of Shang Xiaoyu's dormitory. is really a decathlon little talented girl, and her technique of turning the spoon is at the level of a chef.

Shang Xiaoyu stepped forward to offer his courtesy, knocked on the side and asked, "Squad leader, have you seen Wan Shuang?" ”

The squad leader glanced at her, continued to stir-fry, and said, "Why did you suddenly mention her." I haven't seen her since I moved out of the dorm. ”

"And do you know anything about her?"

The squad leader felt inexplicable, she smiled and said, "Aren't you two very good, how do I know things you don't know." ”

"What are you talking about?" A boy with a small flat head came in with a mango.

Seeing that Ban Cao had changed his hairstyle and his appearance collapsed with a bang, Shang Xiaoyu sighed for a while, pulled the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

However, the squad leader dismantled her stage very uncooperatively, and said bluntly: "Say that the music department is full of flowers." ”

"Otaku gods and goddesses." It turns out that the school grass will not only be looked upon by others, but also by those who will be watched. He said: "It is estimated that the most obsessed one belongs to Zhao Yifei." ”

Zhao Yifei?

Shang Xiaoyu's brain was racing and she tried to find information about this person on her search engine, but the system message was sorry to tell her that she couldn't find this person.

The squad leader knew what was going on when he saw Shang Xiaoyu's expression, and she said helplessly: "You soak in the studio every day and don't hear anything outside the window, of course you don't know what is going on outside the window." This Zhao Yifei didn't dare to skip Professor Xi's class, and basically skipped class and spent time in the music department. ”

"Oh, I remember." Shang Xiaoyu's mind gradually appeared a thin and tall boy, and he had the impression that this boy didn't seem to talk much, and was always in a small corner of the class.

Everyone in the room shouted that they were hungry, and the squad leader braised the fish brought by Shang Xiaoyu and steamed them one by one, and the last two dishes were freshly cooked and then cooked.

The class leader took the lead in speaking, and everyone raised their glasses to say congratulatory messages one by one, but Professor Xi's face was full of wrinkles but he still smiled from ear to ear.

"Come on, let's take a group photo." The squad leader proposed.

Professor Xi's wife enthusiastically helped them take pictures, and she shouted in a gentle tone: "One, two, three!" ”

"Old seat!"

The class spoke in unison, and everyone bared their teeth and smiled unbridledly.

It is said that going to college is to say goodbye to one's youth and step into society with half a foot. But when you actually graduate from college, you realize that college is just a period of free and unbridled campus time, and it can live the campus you want. This will be the last tail of your youth.

Life is a long road, maybe leaving the campus and stepping into the society, all he can do is to say goodbye to his former classmates, and hope that he can still have a good time drinking when he meets again.

After several days of sweltering heat, there was finally a heavy rainstorm in Ling'an City.

The unprecedented coolness swept through everyone's hearts, but the people in the police station looked at the pouring rain outside the house, and their hearts were clouded with a layer of haze.

Wan Shuang has been missing for more than 72 hours.

Meng Xuan now simply lives in the police station, and Shang Xiaoyu feels that he pays the tenant's house to enjoy this big house exclusively, and this transaction is quite cost-effective.

"Shang Xiaoyu, you help me get a piece of clothing, my body stinks." Without waiting for rebuttal, Qin Qin on the other end of the phone should be shouting Meng Xuan, and Meng Xuan hung up the phone.

For the sake of her living in a big house by herself at every turn, Shang Xiaoyu decided to take care of her landlord once in a while. This was the first time she had entered Meng Xuan's room, and the inside of his room was completely different from the outside. No bells and whistles, no SpongeBob SquarePants stickers, just white walls and black sheets, everything is in black, white and gray.

However, when she opened the wardrobe and saw the strange clothes of different styles pouring into her eyes, Shang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, he is really a man who likes to be different from the outside.

Shang Xiaoyu took a piece of clothing at random, and took a coat and put it on his hand.

A note slipped out of his coat pocket and landed on the ground.

Don't mind, don't be serious about jokes - Tian Yi.

The handwriting is very beautiful, and the name is very fresh. It's supposed to be a woman.

A woman actually stuffed such a vague and ambiguous note in a man's coat, and he was still a people's policeman, doing some well-dressed things. Shang Xiaoyu was inexplicably angry, she threw her clothes on the ground and changed into beach-style casual clothes, and went to the police station with the note.

"Xiao Yu is here." Lao Hu greeted him with a pleasant face, and Shang Xiaoyu didn't even look at him, and ran directly towards Meng Xuan with an angry face.

"It's good it's raining now." Lao Hu looked at the back and said happily.

Cheng Hantai was inexplicable, leaned on his glasses, and asked, "Why?" ”

Lao Hu knocked him on the head and shouted: "You see that she can set the house on fire like that, and this rain will put out the fire by the way." ”

Cheng Hantai seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he knew that it was right to hurry up and watch this battle of the century now.

Meng Xuan heard the footsteps, turned around and saw that it was Shang Xiaoyu, and said with a smile: "Here, where are the clothes?" ”

Shang Xiaoyu held up the note and asked, "Who is Tian Yi?" ”

Meng Xuan's brain was a little short-circuited, and he looked at this note with familiar but unfamiliar content and recalled it carefully. He vaguely remembered that it seemed that he went to a banquet last month, and some of the content that the two families said, Tian Yi was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he asked the waiter to stuff a note for him. But when someone called him, he didn't have time to look at it, and stuffed it into his coat pocket.

But...... It looks like a suit.

Meng Xuan looked at Shang Xiaoyu with a smile and said, "Tell you to get me clothes, are you going to bring me a suit and ask me to go to work?" ”

Shang Xiaoyu threw the clothes in the bag to Meng Xuan and said, "Don't divert the topic!" "She looks very much like the dean of education in high school, and she still caught a dean of education who was about to deal with a pair of puppy students seriously.

The prompt of the mobile phone text message sounded in time, interrupting the battle without gunpowder. What Shang Xiaoyu received was a picture, which turned out to be a group photo taken by everyone at noon when they were having dinner at Professor Xi's house, and the squad leader said that he would fix it and send it to everyone at that time. She double-clicked to zoom in one by one to find herself, she wanted to see what the P-map expert had made her look like.

"Found it! is from the Department of Fine Arts of Ling'an University, called Zhao Yifei. I don't know who in the room shouted.

Shang Xiaoyu's hand slid and just saw the boy standing at the back of the crowd with a wooden expression, pointing at that face and looking at Meng Xuan in disbelief: "He? ”
