Early the next morning, I rode an electric car to Fulai Village. The village is more than ten kilometers east of the ancient city.

When I got off the national highway, I looked at the fork in the road in front of me and couldn't tell the direction.

It happened that a car was parked on the side of the road, I went over and knocked on the window, and the owner rolled down the window, and it was a very beautiful female driver.

"How do I get to Fulai Village?" I asked.

The female driver gave me the directions, and I continued on the electric scooter.

After a while, her white Toyota overtook me, and soon I saw it again at the entrance of Fulai Village.

It turned out that our destination was the same.

"You're also going to Fulai Village." I greeted her.

She nodded, looking about my age, with a high ponytail and glowing skin.

"Do you know Du Nianrong? How is she going? "I see how familiar she looks at this place.

The girl looked at me and was surprised. "Do you know Du Nianrong?"

"My name is Yang Dong, and I am also a college student, and I once met Senior Sister Du at school. My senior sister used to help me a lot, but I didn't work in the ancient city, so I thought about visiting my senior sister's house. ”

"I am Lu Qing, Du Nianrong's cousin. I just came to visit my aunt and uncle today. Lu Qing said with a smile and took out a lot of gifts from the trunk of the car.

Only then did I realize that I was empty-handed, and I didn't look like I was coming to visit anyone, and I was immediately embarrassed.

I'll have to buy something later.

Fortunately, Lu Qing didn't notice anything unusual about me. The village seems to be newly built, the roads are wide, and the houses are all two-story small western-style buildings, which are very wealthy.

Lu Qing parked the car at the entrance of the village and walked towards the potholed path on the side towards the hillside. I parked the electric car next to Du Nianrong's car and followed her.

"It's a new village over there, and my uncle's family still lives in the old village." Lu Qing explained.

When I got to a store, I bought a carton of milk and some fruit to carry in my hand.

When he was about to arrive at the gate, Lu Qing said, "I'll say you're my friend in a while." Don't mention cousins. My aunt cried when she mentioned her cousin. ”

I was a little embarrassed.

To uncover the scars of this family because of himself, will it be too cruel for the Du family?

But if you don't ask, how can you investigate?

"So there's still no news from Senior Sister?" I feigned regret.

Lu Qing's face was not very good, "It's never been." ”

"What really happened back then? I still watched the news to find out that my senior sister was missing. She was missed by her former mentors. When they heard that I was here, they asked me to come and see it. It's a pity that the senior sister's grades are so good. ”

Lu Qing listened to my words and stared at me meaningfully.

Is there a flaw in my words? But the news said that Du Nianrong is a research institute, and it is true.

"Actually, I don't know. I had only just been admitted to university at that time, so I didn't know much. ”

I still asked myself, "I read the news that it took half a month to call the police, how could it take so long?" ”

"Before my cousin disappeared, she used a public phone to tell her aunt that her phone had been broken. He also said that people have been hired, and it is not good to use the company phone often, and he said that he would buy a new mobile phone in two days and then contact his family. In the past, my cousin often called for ten days and a half when she was in college, so the family didn't pay much attention to it. ”

"Have you checked the payphone?"

"The police must have checked it all." Lu Qing said.

Somehow, I felt that she seemed a little hostile to me, which was not there in the beginning.

Did I say something wrong that made her suspicious, or did she not like what others asked Du Nianrong?

I asked some more questions, but Lu Qing deftly shirked them.

We came to Du's house.

Although the Du family is in the old village, it is also a two-story small building, which is not worse than the new house in the new village.

"Uncle, aunt." Lu Qing shouted into the door, pushed the door and walked into the courtyard.

Soon walked out of a middle-aged woman, and as soon as she saw Lu Qing, she warmly held her arm. "Qingqing is here. Your uncle isn't at home, this is your boyfriend? ”

I hurriedly said, "Hello Auntie, I'm Lu Qing's friend." ”

"Yes, he's my friend."

My aunt let out a meaningful sigh and warmly invited us into the room.

The decoration in the room is also good, it looks like it has only been a few years since moving in.

My aunt went to make tea, and Lu Qing and I sat in the living room. On the chest of drawers next to the living room, there are several picture frames. I walked over to see it, and most of them were pictures of a young man. One of them was taken in front of the university. There is also a group photo of a young man and two middle-aged people. The aunt put her arms around the young man, and a middle-aged man sat on the other side. It should be an uncle.

I went to ask Lu Qing about the person in the photo, and Lu Qing said, "It's my uncle, aunt and cousin." ”

"Why is there no photo of Du Nianrong?"

"Not to mention the photos, even my cousin's bedroom has been converted into a utility room. My aunt was going to be sad when she looked at it. Lu Qing said.

I think it's a little weird. After all, Du Nianrong is missing, and she is not really declared dead.

What's more, if you die, most parents can't bear to mention it, and they won't mess with their daughter's relics.

Maybe it's really sad that I can't stand it.

While talking, my aunt brought tea. Most of the time, she and Lu Qing were talking, and I didn't interject. It's not easy to ask Du Nianrong about it.

I think the reason why Du Nianrong can't stay in love may be related to her disappearance. She definitely didn't die a normal death, and now she can't find her body, if she can find her corpse and restrain it well, will it be able to resolve her resentment?

But she has been missing for four years, and the police can't find her body, how can I find it?

After sitting for a while, Lu Qing said, "I'm going to Cloud City on a business trip in two days, do you have anything to bring to Xiaohui?" ”

"Oh, I just made a new chili sauce, you bring him some, and bring a can for your dad."

"He also asked me to bring him a few CDs, saying that they were in the bookcase, in his bedroom?"

My aunt stood up to get the chili sauce, and her face was a little bad when she heard this, "In your sister's previous room, you can go and find it." Come, Xiao Yang, help me get the chili sauce. ”

I followed my aunt to the kitchen and was surprised to see her bend down and take out two jars of chili sauce the size of a small wine jar.

"In the past, the family specialized in making chili sauce, and they liked to make porridge with steamed buns from snack to adulthood." My aunt explained with a smile.

I helped get to the living room and asked my aunt where the bathroom was.

She said the water tank on the first floor was broken and told me to go to the second floor.

When I went to the bathroom, I saw a room with the door open with a bed and a desk inside, and a large cabinet that reached to the ceiling on the other side. The bed and desk are also full of sundries, which should be Du Nianrong's previous room.

Lu Qing was squatting on the side of the bed and turning over a large cardboard box. There are colorful books and albums stacked in the cardboard box, which should be Du Nianrong's things.

She carefully flipped through a notebook, then quietly tucked it into the large trouser pocket of her bib pants, and stood up with a few CDs.
