Zhan Suiyu came out of the prison and walked around without seeing Zhang Qining, Xu Hao passed by with the recorded case file and said, "Childe, are you looking for Miss Zhang?" ”

Zhan Suiyu couldn't find anyone, put his hand behind him, and answered. "You see her?"

Xu Hao handed him the top dossier, raised his shoulders and hugged the rest of the dossier and said, "Miss Zhang left after reading this, I don't know where I went." ”

File? What dossier?

Zhan Suiyu opened it casually, and remembered something from the narrative record at the beginning. "This is a case from 25 years ago."

"Yes." Xu Hao: "Miss Zhang asked me if there was a case similar to the previous case of lost children in Suzhou, and after I looked for it, I found that only this one was the case where multiple children were lost in a certain period of time, and their whereabouts are still unknown. After reading it, she left first. ”

Zhan Sui Yufu looked at the file in his hand again, wondering why Qi Ning suddenly remembered to ask this. Flipping through the pages, he caught a glimpse of one of the lost children in the list - Yang Yue, the grandson of the old Yang family, who sold tea. The location of the tea stall written above is outside the city of Suzhou, could it be the one she met on the day she came to Suzhou? This girl shouldn't have found it by herself, right?

Xu Hao looked at the changing expression on Zhan Suiyu's face and couldn't help but sigh: Miss Zhang and Gongzi are worthy of being a couple, and even the reaction after seeing the file is almost the same.

Outside the city of Suzhou.

Zhang Qining found the tea stall that was simply made of a white cloth and a few bamboo poles.

The tea stalls were empty, white cloths and cupboards were covered with dust, and they were thrown like garbage on the side of the road and no one took them away. But as soon as she got closer, those things moved as if they had suddenly become conscious, and they took on a new look and set up a simple tea stall.

An old man with a melon skin hat, a coarse cloth shirt, a rag on his shoulder, half-folded sleeves, and a yellowed old apron tied to his waist, slowly showed his figure.

As soon as he looked up, he recognized this overly beautiful little girl, and beckoned enthusiastically: "Miss, do you want to have a cup of tea today?" ”

Although he knew that the old man was a ghost, Zhang Qining still walked over with a smile as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest inappropriateness.

"Uncle, it's not early, are you still doing business?"

The old man seemed to like the little girl very much, and when he saw her ask, he answered. "It's almost over, and it's time to close the stall. Etsuko doesn't know where to run, and I'll leave when he comes back. ”

Old Yang Tou's grandson is named Yang Yue. Zhang Qining remembered what was written in the dossier, and thought that the child might not be able to come back, and his lowered eyes couldn't help but darken.

"Etsuko, is your grandson? How old is it, to go to play means... Is there anything to do around here? Zhang Qining asked for a bowl of tea, and he wanted to talk to him for a while.

Lao Yang asked for a spoonful of tea from the boiled deep cauldron, put it in an ordinary clay bowl and handed it to Zhang Qining, while sighing: "What's interesting around here, I don't know what this kid usually plays with hehe, and he hasn't come back yet!" At the age of thirteen, he still looks like a child, and he has grown fat in white! ”

Thirteen years old is like a child, is there any direct connection with growing a body of fat? Zhang Qining was puzzled. This is probably a cliché of the elders counting the children.

is scolding on his mouth, but the corners of his mouth are raised, and his eyes are pretending to be worried, and he can see that Lao Yang loves his grandson very much.

"I'll help my uncle find it." Zhang Qining said.

The loose skin around the corners of Lao Yang's eyes was lifted by an excited eyebrow raised by him, it was too troublesome to shirk it, and he couldn't help but grab his apron and rub his hands, in the end, he still had hope.

His memory seems to be stuck on the day his grandson was lost twenty-five years ago, but from the point that he still remembers himself, his memory is not fixed, and he should also remember something about what happened before his grandson was lost.

"Well, don't panic, tell me what's going on? I know someone in the yamen, and I might be able to help you. ”

"Really?"

Zhang Qining: "Is there any benefit to lying to you?" ”

Sure enough, for ordinary people, the most trustworthy thing is the government.

Lao Yang scratched his ears, recalled carefully, and slowly spoke: "When it was almost noon, I picked a stall to sell tea and brought my grandson with me. There was a horse-drawn carriage entering the city, and someone in the carriage came and said he wanted to buy tea. I was greeting other guests, so I asked Etsuko to pack it and send it over. I saw that he hadn't come back for a long time, standing next to someone's carriage and looking up and talking to the people in the car. It was fine, but then the person disappeared...."

"Carriage? What kind of carriage? ”

Lao Yang thought for a while: "It's quite generous, like a big family." The guy who buys tea speaks authentic Suzhou dialect, which should be a local. I saw that Xiao Yuezi was chatting happily, and the people in the carriage couldn't see their faces, but they weren't angry. ”

In the eyes of the simple and kind old Yang, if the big families don't dislike them, and they can talk speculatively with annoying ghosts, then they are not bad people.

But he forgets that people with other intentions are often full of rhetoric and unusual patience. Because of his wishful thinking, Yang Yue... There's no going back.

Here to leave no trace of the child and take it away quietly, the carriage has enough conditions, because Yang Yue is having a lot of fun, and no one would have thought that he would suddenly be gone. Who would have doubted that a man who had just had a good conversation with a poor child and had a rich family would kidnap someone in full view?

But Zhang Qining was almost certain that it was the people in the carriage who took Yang Yue away.

"By the way, I remember that there is a word on the lantern hanging on the outside of the carriage, do you think it will be a family in Suzhou?" Lao Yang looked up at her.

"You write it to me."

Lao Yang was illiterate, and he just looked up and glanced at it inadvertently, perhaps because he also felt that this was an important clue in his heart, even if the person was gone, this became part of the obsession and has been hovering in his mind.

As if he was afraid of missing something, he hurriedly dipped his fingers in water and traced a ball on the dry desktop while recalling, as if drawing, this character was more complicated, and he couldn't write it completely.

However, Zhang Qining could guess from most of the words he drew at a glance - it was a Zang character.

Both of them were silent for a while.

"Are you really looking for me? But I've been waiting for a long time..."

Lao Yang's tone of voice was not quite the same as just now, his voice was deep, and it was not quite right. It was as if the memories just now had been torn apart, and what had happened after that had been pulled out of his mind.

"At home, even if I don't say it, I know that my son and daughter-in-law hate me very much... If only I hadn't brought Etsuko out. You just said you were going to help me find it, right? ”

Lao Yang raised his head, his all-black pupils occupied the entire eye, and he couldn't see a single white. Self-blame and remorse keep him stranded in the world, more like hot oil tormenting his soul. It was as if the bark of the tree was cracked, and the black burnt marks spread along the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, devouring the kind old man bit by bit.

"It's the limit." If it continues, Lao Yang Tou is afraid that he will be forced into a ghost by the memory of twenty-five years ago.

She took out two copper coins and knocked them on the stall standingly, and pushed them towards Lao Yang's head. "Tea money."

The voice of the copper coin seemed to pull Lao Yang's obsession back, and he looked at Zhang Qining and calmed down, and slowly sobered up. Zhang Qining smiled at him, as if nothing had happened, and handed over the tea money.

"Don't accept it, don't accept it, a bowl of tea, let the little girl, you talk with me for most of the day, delay your efforts."

Zhang Qining's fingertips left the copper coin, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips. "Nope. When your grandson comes back, buy him candy to eat. ”

She said this, but Lao Yang didn't push it again.

Zhang Qining turned around and left the tea stall, and when she was far away from a certain distance, everything returned to the way she had been when she first came.

The unmanned tea stall was piled up like useless waste, and even the bowl with the tea in her hand gradually became transparent in her hand and finally disappeared.

*

When Zang Shuping was in power, the Zang family was also involved in abducting children.

Complicated family environment, chaotic relationships between men and women, and now unbearable criminal experiences...... This pile, one by one, is endless, it is really amazing.

"If only I hadn't brought Etsuko out."

"You just said you were going to help me find it, right?"

"Are you really looking for me? But I've been waiting for a long time..."

She thought: Even if she finds it, I'm afraid it will only be a rotten and clean skeleton. If it's fast, Yang Yue has already started a family and a business after being reincarnated, maybe he even has a child, who knows that his grandfather's soul is waiting for him in the old place.

Thinking of Lao Yangtou's words, Zhang Qining walked in the crowd going home. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, on everyone who passed by to go home, and on the souls of the dead who were obsessed and refused to leave.

There are thousands of kinds of unkindness, hurting others and hurting oneself, oneself is often obsessed, and others often regret not being at the beginning. For example, Wang, Zang Shuping, and Lao Yangtou, Hu Sheng...

Zhang Qining himself was not trapped in such a strange circle, and he didn't know how to get out.

"I've finally found it."

Zhan Suiyu saw her in the crowd on the street, and the people who walked by her were either in groups or collecting stalls and going home, in short, each with a purpose, she was like a street kitten, with her eyes down and not knowing what she was thinking.

He walked in front of her with his hands along the crowd, stopped a few steps away, and was easily bypassed by the distracted Zhang Qining without making a sound.

“？！”

Zhan Gongzi was stunned in place, his face sank, and he reached out and grabbed Zhang Qining's arm to hook the person back to his side.

"Miss, you can't even see me as a big living person?"

Zhang Qining looked up and saw Zhan Suiyu's angry face, first wondering why the other party was here, and then realizing that he was lucky to be pulled by someone.

"Someone bullied you? Hit the devil? Still is... Tired? ”

Zhan Suiyu saw that Zhang Qining didn't say a word, looking at herself in a daze, and didn't understand what she was looking at. I'm worried if something happened to her outside the city.

Life is clutched and scattered, and it is good to have someone to guard or wait, probably this is what people call hope.

Zhang Qining thought so, raised his lips and showed a shallow smile, uncharacteristically stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Zhan Suiyu, occupying the position in his arms, and silently labeling Zhan Suiyu with her in his heart.

She wanted to try to spend her limited time on harming one person.

Zhan Suiyu's hands were placed on both sides at a loss, not daring to touch Zhang Qining, this time it was his turn not to be calm.

"Hugging in front of the public, what kind of system is this? You eat my tofu! Zhan Suiyu lowered her head and whispered to her, because she was afraid that she would make a mistake, as if she was joking on purpose, and there was a nervous smile in her dark brown eyes.

"Then you call it indecent, it's okay if I don't have a face." Zhang Qining looked up at him with a smile, and even rubbed his chin in front of him in court.

"You!"

A pair of eyes like a deep valley and a deep spring looked at him, Zhan Sui Yu's heart exploded a cluster of fireworks, his brain was empty, his heart was beating faster, and he didn't forget to teach Miss Zhang San a lesson that was open-mouthed.

"Nonsense! You"

"Zhan Sui Yu, what are you doing?"

Zhang Tingyu's voice intervened coldly, Zhan Suiyu had the illusion of being caught doing something bad, and waved at him with both hands, Zhang Qining didn't let go, he couldn't help but wave more vigorously.

Zhan Sui Yu: I didn't move my hands and feet!

Zhang Tingyu looked at him with a stupid look on his face, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Qining, don't let me come back yet!" ”

Zhang Qining raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid of my brother?" I let go. ”

As soon as she let go, she was caught off guard by Zhan Sui Yu.

"I didn't, who said that?"

Zhang Tingyu, who lost his sense of existence: "..."Stinky and shameless, let's chop off his paws."

After receiving Zhan Gongzi's loyal statement, Zhang Qining felt that it was enough, and was pleased to let Zhan Sui Yu let go first.

Before Zhang Tingyu bought a knife and chopped off Zhan Sui Yu's claws, it was better to converge.

This eye-catching wild man, don't think that a few cheats with his father's signature can buy him! Zhang Tingyu, who didn't want to see Zhan Sui Yu and A Ning glued together, tore the two apart with his hands.

"What kind of tugging and pulling on the street!"

He had just said the same thing. Right? Zhang Qining said.

"What a foolish coax, girls are reserved! This guy has a peach blossom face, and he is not a good person at first glance, be careful that he cuckolds you! Zhang Tingyu said fiercely.

“...”

Zhang Tingyu, is it really okay for you to smear me so blatantly? Zhan Suiyu was speechless, do you want to say it behind your back?

Before Zhan Suiyu could explain anything, Zhang Qining said: "It's okay. ”

Zhang Tingyu was more than surprised, it doesn't matter? Is it true love? Could it be that A-Ning is actually a scumbag, just having fun with Zhan Suiyu?

For a while, he looked at Zhan Suiyu's gaze, and suddenly became confused.

Qi Ning believes in self so much? Before Zhan Suiyu could be moved, she heard her smile again: "I'll watch it, and if I can't see it, I'll lock it up." If you can't lock it, you will abolish him. ”

What?!

Zhang Qining looked past Zhang Tingyu at Zhan Sui Yu, and smiled at him innocently. Zhang Tingyu's consciousness froze for a few seconds, and after confirming that A-Ning was serious, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and looked at Zhan Suiyu sympathetically.

I saw that the other party was serious, and even nodded a little excitedly, discussing how to lock and what to lock.

... Is that okay? Zhang Tingyu silently stayed away from them. Can you love this? Zhan Suiyu looks like she has good eyes and no problem with her brain.

Or did A-Ning actually poison him a long time ago? Secretly threatened him, Zhan Suiyu didn't dare not listen. Or... What are your special fetishes?

Hehe, Zhang Tingyu was messy in the wind.

Sister, it's our sister who is abnormal, and it's the man who is stupid, and this business is not a loss.
