Chapter 19:

The next day, Zhao Qi got up early in the morning, and before going out, he picked out the thickest cashmere coat in the wardrobe and put it on.

The scenery of Chongshan Cemetery at five o'clock in the morning has never been seen by ordinary people.

Zhao Qi wore a black wide-brimmed hat large enough to cover his entire face and a pair of dark brown sunglasses, and walked up the stone stairs one by one.

Except for rows and rows of tombstones, a distance of several hundred meters, it was deserted and empty.

Because the ground was wet in the morning, a thin layer of white mist floated in the air at the knee height of the path ahead.

Zhao Qi's steps did not stop at all, her purpose was very clear.

Looking from afar, Zhao Qi seemed to have walked into the fog, her back was straight, and she had no idea of retreating.

Throughout the cemetery, Zhao Qi's footsteps became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.

Standing in front of Deng Chuan's tomb, the face on the stele in front of her and the face in her investigation data overlapped heightly, and then look at the name, Deng Chuan.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qi took off his sunglasses, looked at the photo on the tombstone, and smiled gently, "Hello, my name is Zhao Qi, we finally met." ”

After looking for so long, I finally found it.

Zhao Qi knew that Lu Huainian never appeared on Deng Chuan's death day, and Deng Chuan's death day was December 24, which was the same day as her father's disappearance, and perhaps the death day was also the same day.

For some reason, Zhao Qi did not have a trace of hostility towards Deng Chuan in his heart.

Pity the outlaws of the world.

Lu Huainian has always only celebrated Deng Chuan's birthday, and today is his birthday.

Zhao Qi half-squatted, looking at the person in the photo, and the things in the coat pocket had already been warmed by her palm.

It was a miniature voice recorder.

The deceased is respected, Zhao Qi knows that the affairs of the living should be borne by the living themselves, but if she misses this opportunity, she may have to wait for another year.

Zhao Qi glanced at the flowers placed on the position of other people's tombstones, she originally wanted to bring a handful to him, but then Lu Huainian would find out.

"Deng Chuan, I'm sorry" Zhao Qi put on his sunglasses again, and the dark lenses covered the guilt in Zhao Qi's eyes.

After Zhao Qi left, the recorder was quietly hidden in a certain piece of grass behind the monument, without missing any trace.

After these two days, Zhao Qi will get it back.

Lu Huainian, he will definitely come in the next two days.

What Zhao Qi can hope for now is not to have any accidents, but resigned to fate, I learned that she was lucky, but she was not, she died. If she fails, she will look for other opportunities.

The mobile phone kept vibrating, and Zhao Qi knew that the newspaper was urging, and she was on the morning shift today.

Smile bitterly, it's important to find out the truth, but first she has to live. I've been too busy with work these days, and when I wake up from bed every morning, Zhao Qi's bones hurt.

Every day, I struggled to get up, and then when I went back, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

It's been a few days since the last hot pot restaurant.

On Guan Xi's side, Zhao Qi has been going to inquire about the news when he has nothing to do some time ago, but Guan Xi's mouth is really tight, and Zhao Qi has not benefited from it. In Guan Xi's words: depending on his mood, if he is happy one day, maybe tell her something.

However, Zhao Qi has been really busy recently, and the newspaper has recently had a new goal, and she has been following him day and night, where is she still in the mood to care about whether he is in a good mood.

Anyway, she hasn't been in a good mood lately.

Wrapped in a coat wrapped around his body, he returned the way he came.

When I received a call from Guan Xi in the middle of the night, I crackled before the other party could speak, "Guan Xi, what nerves do you have in the middle of the night?" If there's nothing to bother you to be quiet and alone, can you? I'm going to run the news tomorrow at 6 o'clock, can you give me an early nap? ”

"I'm sorry, Ms. Zhao Qi, your friend is drunk in my store, can you come and pick him up?"

Zhao Qi refused without thinking about it, "No, I don't know him." ”

"He doesn't have a few contact names on his phone, and you're the one at the top, so I'm calling you."

"Wait a minute, you say he's drunk? How drunk? "If she's drunk, maybe she'll get some news from him today.

"I'm almost drunk, I guess I can tell you the bank card password if I ask him."

It should be about the same, "Okay, I'll pick him up." Excuse me, look at him, and send me a location by the way. ”

Zhao Qi simply changed his clothes and took a taxi to the place where Guan Xi was drinking, to be honest, she was quite nervous when a girl came to this kind of place in the middle of the night, after all, some people who were drunk and scolded from time to time came out of the door, Zhao Qi took a deep breath with his bag and then raised his feet and entered the door.

Guan Yi lay on his stomach on the bar, motionless.

Zhao Qi patted the back of his head, "Alas, if you don't drink until your legs are weak, go back with me!" You say you don't have money to eat, where do you get the money to drink here? ”

Guan Xi was hit on the back of the head and suddenly became angry, stood up suddenly, staggered a few times, and if he hadn't held on to the bar countertop, he would probably have fallen, "Who hit me on the back of the head!" ”

Zhao Qi crossed his arms and watched the show with a good expression, "I played, what's wrong?" ”

Seeing the person standing in front of him clearly, Guan Yi frowned and rubbed the back of his head, "It hurts~"

The bartenders on the side all laughed.

"Let's go, go back!"

Guan Xi drank the wine, and his temperament became surprisingly good to speak, and obediently followed behind Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi has always felt that Guan Xi is like a mad dog, or the kind that catches and bites whom, and today is an eye-opener.

A proper Ragdoll cat~

As the night grew darker, Xia Yuan waited for two hours in the car in front of a hidden bar.

Lu Huainian is in the private room inside, and no one is allowed to enter, this is a fixed norm over the years, every year. Xia Yuan knew that today was Deng Chuan's birthday.

Every year today, Lu Huainian would get drunk alone, and then he would take him back.

According to the usual practice, Xia Yuan got out of the car when the pointer pointed to half past twelve, still carrying a pair of men's slippers in his hand.

Entering the private room, Xia Yuan kicked away the wine bottle that rolled to his feet, and walked straight towards the half-lying person on the sofa.

Lu Huainian, drunk.

The shirt was loose on top of him, and his coat was thrown on the carpet. Xia Yuan only saw one of the shoes, and the other didn't know where it went, but the pair of black socks were both there, scattered on the carpet.

Lu Huainian was barefoot.

There were still broken wine bottles on the ground, Xia Yuan glanced at Lu Huainian's feet, fortunately, he was not injured.

His feet are like hands when necessary, but other than that, his feet are still feet, and they walk the same way as others, and even more than others.

The hand is gone, and if even the foot is seriously injured, I am afraid that it will be difficult to walk.

Xia Yuan sighed, why did he toss himself like this!

Bend over and place the slippers in front of him. Looking at this posture, I'm afraid I've drunk a lot of "Lu Huainian, go back"

Lu Huainian on the sofa opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of red.

After seeing the person clearly, Lu Huainian struggled to get up with his big arms on the back of the sofa. "Well, where are my shoes?" Then he saw the slippers at his feet, and put them on silently, probably because he had drunk, his movements were slower than usual, and they were not stable.

Xia Yuan packed up the things on the ground and put them in the bag, and then put his coat on his body, after all, there are many people outside with mixed eyes and mouths.
