I stood in the empty bedroom and looked at my watch, it was already six o'clock in the morning, but the world outside the window was still shrouded in darkness.

This damn pre-dawn is the darkest hour.

I'm still restless, I can't believe that Li He disappeared, and then appeared last night, and finally disappeared so mysteriously, and disappeared without a trace.

No, she must be somewhere at the moment, but where could this place be?

I walked to the bay window again, stood up like my wife, and began to repeat the movements of Li He.

He glanced back at his bedroom, then at the deep darkness downstairs.

This is the sixth floor, more than 20 meters high, if you really jump, the possibility of living is too small, even if you can live, you will definitely leave traces on the ground, however, Liang Zi and I have already surveyed the scene, and the open space downstairs, no traces have been found.

So, she didn't jump?

But where would she have gone if she hadn't jumped?

Flown away?

It was my first instinct, but it was clear that it didn't fit our worldview.

What else is possible? What else is possible?

I became a little impatient and began to ask myself again and again!

That's right! Isn't there a person in Detective Chinatown 3 who seems to have jumped off a building, but in fact he just jumped downstairs!

So, is it possible that Li He jumped to the fifth floor?

Why didn't you think of this in the first place?

On the fifth floor, there is also a pair of small couples, the hostess is called Sister Juan, she is a housewife, but she loves running and fitness, whenever we meet, she will take the initiative to greet me, is a very kind person.

She wakes up early, around half past six every morning, because every time I can hear her footsteps in the hallway doing a high leg raise to warm up.

It was already six o'clock, and Sister Juan should have almost gotten up, so I hurried downstairs to her door.

After hesitating for a few seconds, I finally mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell of 502.

Before the first doorbell could end, the door opened.

"Yo! It's Xiao Ming, who did I think, what's the matter, getting up so early today? ”

Sister Juan may be the reason for long-term exercise, her figure is very well-proportioned, and her voice is very sweet, if you don't deliberately ask her age, you can't guess her real age at all.

"Sister Juan, morning! Hehe, actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask, did you hear some strange sounds last night? Seeing Sister Juan so enthusiastic, I was embarrassed to get up, so I had to ask hesitantly.

Sister Juan's eyes widened and asked, "What strange sound?" ”

When she asked, I didn't know how to express it, so I had to say vaguely: "For example, is there any strange noise outside the window or something?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that she frowned, and then said, "I didn't hear anything outside the window." But not long after I fell asleep yesterday, I heard that someone upstairs was ringing the doorbell all the time, and then someone was going up and down the stairs, and I wanted to come out and take a look, but my husband told me not to be nosy. Heck, it can't be a thief, right? Your belongings were stolen? Tell me about it. ”

After listening, I smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it's not a thief, it was a friend who came to look for me last night, and now it's fine." What's that, Sister Juan, I'm getting ready to go to work, let's, let's talk later. ”

"Xiao Ming, if you have anything or something unspeakable, just tell me, it's all neighbors, you can't look up and see you down, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"

I said goodbye to Sister Juan again and turned to leave.

The heart said, I haven't figured out this strange thing myself, so there's no need to talk to others.

Besides, in this place where a few words can spread throughout the community, I had to deal with Sister Juan casually and returned to my home.

After some tossing, although there was nothing to gain, what is certain now is that Li He did not jump to Sister Juan's house on the fifth floor.

Thinking of this, I laughed bitterly at myself, thinking to myself, even if she wanted to, with her skills and guts, it would be impossible to go to Sister Juan's house on the fifth floor.

Could it be that Li He really disappeared in a way that I couldn't understand at all?

If I don't try all kinds of possible scenarios, I will always have doubts about the disappearance of my wife, and I always feel that Li He is not far away at this moment, but what kind of place will it be?

My mind returned to the problem of the bay window, if it was possible for Li He to jump to the fifth floor, then it was also possible to climb up to the seventh floor, and it was dark at that time, and in that kind of terrifying situation, if Li He relied on the rope to climb to the seventh floor, it would be difficult for me to find out.

I didn't think about this before, because the seventh floor has never been inhabited and is empty, so I habitually exclude the seventh floor.

Now that I think about it, since there are no people living there, the possibility of turning over is a little more likely than jumping down.

Of course, the assumption of all this is that Li He has a reason to want to leave me and turn over.

I don't know if my mind is lucid or cloudy right now, but I feel the need to test every possibility, otherwise I won't die.

Two minutes later, I pulled out a flashlight and a hammer at home and started walking upstairs. But at this time, there happened to be the sound of Sister Juan's footsteps raising her legs downstairs, and I looked at my watch, it was exactly half past six.

"Xiao Ming, you come down!"

I was about to continue walking upstairs when I heard Sister Juan's shout below.

Although there is no one on the seventh floor, it is very inappropriate for someone like me to sneak up on the door with a flashlight and a hammer anyway.

So in order to achieve the goal of a quick victory, I planned to ignore Sister Juan's shouts for the time being and continue to go upstairs, but unfortunately, Sister Juan not only found me, but also tried her best to prevent me from going up.

I had to stop and reply to the bottom of the corridor: "Sister Juan, what's the matter?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw her running up from under the stairs, and dragged me down, muttering: "Xiao Ming, what are you doing up there?" Didn't I tell you before, don't go up! ”

I suddenly felt an inexplicable wonder, and my heart said when did you tell me? Why can't you go up?

Sister Juan ignored my surprised expression and pulled me to her door before stopping.

I saw her glance at the tool in my hand, her face sank, and she said, "Are you still going to pry the door?" ”

Seeing that my purpose had been discovered, I had to lie and say, "I just want to go up and see if there is anything wrong with the line." ”

After saying these words against my will, I suddenly felt that Sister Juan's eyes became a little aggressive, and I had to bow my head embarrassedly.

"Hehe, I don't know what you're doing up there?" She didn't know why, her tone paused, then her eyes lit up, and she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I know what you want to go upstairs to see, and I know that you just asked me if I heard any strange sounds at night." Well, I'll tell you now, I know all of these things, because I knew it from the time you first moved here! ”
