Chapter 27: Never Left
"After this video was filmed by Ye Ting, has she appeared elsewhere?" Hong Anjie asked with a concerned expression.
"Nope." Although he guessed this result, Shen Xing put away his phone with a little disappointment, "This is her last video, and after that, the video on the street facing the gate of the Ivy League community didn't see her go out, so she disappeared suddenly." ”
"Could it be that he left in disguise?" Hong Bin guessed.
"Yes, in that case, if you leave the gate of the complex at night and immediately enter the car parked on the side of the street, there is a good chance that you will not be detected." Hong Anjie also nodded.
Shen Xing shook his head: "The monitoring has been adjusted, during that time, on the street at the entrance of the community, no one got in the car and left as soon as they came out, but there were people who couldn't see their faces clearly, but after careful identification, the sheriff found that they matched everyone else in the community, and they were not strangers." ”
"Is it possible that she just pretended to be someone else in the neighborhood and then left?" Hong Anjie continued to speculate.
After experiencing his father's strange incident, I have to say that Hong Anjie now feels more and more like Sherlock Holmes even himself.
Anyway, as long as there is this possibility, he boldly guesses, and now he knows very well that some things in this world are bizarre enough, completely beyond his imagination.
Shen Xing did not refute these words, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he didn't rule out this possibility, but if Ye Ting really did it, what was the motive? Why hide yourself? Why are you afraid of being discovered?
After the three of them discussed, Shen Xing's doubts were not solved, but felt more and more.
The atmosphere of the dinner was a little stagnant.
In order to break this heavy atmosphere, Shen Xing took out the wrapped half-body wood carving, opened it in front of Hong Bin, and said, "The craftsmanship is not good, please bear with Uncle Hong!" ”
However, Hong Bin and Hong Anjie's eyes lit up at the same time after seeing the wood carving.
"Good!" Hong Bin burst out of his mouth with a word.
Hong Anjie exclaimed: "It's very realistic! It feels so much more realistic than I've seen it before! ”
Shen Xing smiled: "I refined some later. ”
"Awesome!" Hong Bin stretched out his thumb, "I like it very much!" ”
Hong Anjie transferred money to Shen Xing on the spot, even 1,000 more than the money he had booked.
Shen Xing was slightly stunned after seeing the information, raised his head and was about to speak, Hong Anjie had already said: "My father is about to thank you, these are all trivial, don't shirk anymore." ”
Although this kid lives in the suburbs, he is not only working, but also has a few vacant rooms for rent at home, to be honest, his financial resources are much stronger than that of this outsider Shen Xing.
Shen Xing nodded and didn't say anything more.
The meal lasted until nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them were already slightly drunk, and called a substitute driver, Hong Anjie and his son left in the car with a half-body wood carving, and Shen Xing walked alone to the Ivy League community diagonally opposite.
Blown by the cool breeze of the night, he felt much clearer and calmer after coming out.
Walked to the gate of the Ivy Community near the street, raised his head and looked a little higher on the side of the street, and remembered that there was a camera in front of the Liangdou skin dealer store opposite, and a Tianyan probe on the street at the gate of the community was also facing here.
At present, the two cameras are still there and are operating normally, but after watching through the video recording, Ye Ting was not seen coming out of the gate.
Is it a neighborhood that has left from somewhere else? Or is it really as Hong Anjie said, she disguised herself as a resident of another community and walked out? Or......
Shen Xing raised his head, stood at the door of the community, looked through the iron bar fence of the gate, and stared into the community: "Or...... She never left! ”
After returning to the rental house, after taking a shower, he forcibly checked the doors, windows and locks in the house again, and then Shen Xing returned to the bedroom.
Since the bloody pupil incident, his obsessive-compulsive symptoms seem to be a bit worse than before.
But if you think about it, it's because he's become more vigilant, and the behavior he shows is the superposition of obsessive thoughts, and now he even checks the door lock three times when he comes home at night to close the door.
He closed the bedroom door, pressed the anti-latch, and then checked all the corners of the bedroom where people could hide, and then lay down on the bed.
Shen Xing knew that he was still very good at one thing, that is, after the compulsive behavior was done, he would become very relieved, and he would sleep until dawn, and he would not continue to suspect anything.
The next day, he got up early, and after breakfast, Shen Xing came to the "Tingwu" store on Chunyu Street as usual, and opened the door early to start business.
At present, there are a lot of wood carvings in the store, but except for the new products that I discovered after my rebirth, that is, anime wood carvings, which are selling well, the other works are still dying.
Of course, the income of animation wood carving is not too large, which is mainly done through impulse, and the really fine works are still the current blood pupils and fake Hong Bin.
Most of the previous slightly better works were based on natural landscapes and Buddha statues or allegorical wood carvings.
In the morning, not a single wood carving was sold, and at noon, Shen Xing temporarily closed the shop, returned home and brought all the materials that needed to go through the adoption procedures, and took it downstairs to make a copy.
After packing the original and copy in a paper bag, I went to the civil office of the city hall on the hour of work in the afternoon, handed over the copy, and printed it out on the spot according to the uniform format of the adoption application, signed and fingerprinted, and submitted a copy.
He has already decided, no matter what, he will hand in the application for adopting Fei Fei first, and as for whether it can be approved, it will be handed over to Providence.
But after all, this situation is also rare, so Shen Xing guessed that there was a high probability that he would not be able to pass.
When I came out of the Civil Affairs Office, my mobile phone rang, and when I took it out, I saw that it was a landline number, and the mobile phone was displayed as "Qiguang Orphanage" through smart number recognition.
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that this is passed? Can't be that fast, right? And just contact me directly, how much do you want to give the child away?
Connected the phone, a strange man's voice came: "Hello, may I ask if it's Shen Xing, Mr. Shen?" ”
"Well, it's me."
"Please wait a moment, Lin Feifei wants to say a few words to you." The man appeared to be an officer from the orphanage's office.
After saying this, he handed the microphone to Fei Fei, who was waiting on the side.
A familiar immature voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle Shen, where are you now?" ”
Shen Xing heard that her tone seemed to be a little wrong, and replied in a puzzled tone: "I'm on the street, what's wrong?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
"It's not." Fei Fei suddenly lowered her voice, feeling as if she was deliberately avoiding the people around her, and then whispered, "Do you have time?" Can you come here? I feel that Sister Xiaoyu is a little strange......"
"Who?" Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Are you talking about that volunteer Song Xiaoyu?" Well, today is her volunteer day again? ”
"No, it wasn't her today, but she came, and she was acting strange......" Fei Fei seemed a little frightened on the other end of the phone, "They don't believe what I just saw, can you come and have a look?" ”
"Okay, I'll come right over." Shen Xing nodded.
I hung up the phone, took a taxi on the side of the road, and drove all the way to Qiguang Orphanage.
