After the man held her shoulder and said a few words, the two of them calmed down and left together, but the moment they left, I saw the man look this way.

"Lu Yan, do we still have to investigate the death of the manager?" Charlene asked, watching them leave.

I nodded: "There are so many people in the company who are missing, but only the manager is back, don't you want to find out how the manager died?" ”

"Of course I want to figure it out." Charlene said.

"But how are we going to find out?" She asked again.

"Don't worry, there will be a way." I looked in the direction they were leaving, and said thoughtfully.

The manager died, the company has not had a new manager to take over his work, colleagues are a little anxious, although there are documents to instruct them to do what to do, but sometimes when they encounter problems, they don't know who to go to.

As soon as she came to the company that day, Sister Liu said: "Colleagues, I received an email yesterday, saying that a new manager may come to our company next week, and you should be ready." ”

New manager?

Hearing the news, colleagues were a little confused, and some people were upset about Sister Liu.

"Sister Liu, after the manager died, you were the oldest employee in our office, we all thought you would be promoted, but we didn't expect ......" Zhou Yu frowned and said.

Sister Liu smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said calmly and generously: "You think too much, I don't have the intention of being a manager, you have to behave well when the new manager comes next week, and strive to leave a good impression on the new boss." ”

"Okay, we got it."

"Then let's get back to work."

New manager coming in next week?

My first reaction when I heard the news was excitement, does the arrival of a new boss mean that I can resign?

I was relieved to realize this, and now I just need to prepare my resignation letter and I can leave the company when the new manager comes.

But what I didn't expect was that the new manager didn't wait for the news of Charlene's disappearance.

On the night that Sister Liu announced the news that the new manager was coming, Charlene did not go home with me, but said that she would go back to the ground where her parents lived to see them, and I didn't think much about it, so I went home by myself.

When I came to the company the next day, Charlene didn't come for a long time, I thought she was getting up late again, but I called her and found that I couldn't get through, and that's when I realized that something was wrong.

Charlene has never been able to get in touch, I don't know if she is the same as Ding Wei, she can't come back...

I frantically called Charlene's phone but couldn't get in touch, so I thought about it and decided to contact her parents.

"Linlin hasn't been back, huh?" Xia Mu sat on the sofa and said.

"Didn't come back?" I asked rhetorically.

Xia Mu frowned and asked cautiously, "Lu Yan, is something wrong with our family Linlin?" ”

I have a little struggle in my heart, I don't know whether to tell Xia Mu about this, but if Xia Lin can't come back, they will know sooner or later, so it's better to tell them now, so that they can be mentally prepared.

"Auntie, Charlene, I can't get in touch now." I said slowly.

"What? What does it mean to be unreachable? Xia Mu looked at me nervously.

"Charlene, it seems to be missing."

"What? How so? Xia Mu's body sitting on the sofa shook and almost collapsed.

I hurriedly stepped forward to support her, she grabbed my sleeve anxiously, and said loudly: "Lu Yan, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

I gritted my teeth and shook my head: "How could I lie to you about this kind of thing." ”

"How could Linlin have disappeared, when did this happen." She asked anxiously.

"Last night, she said she was coming back to see you and her uncle, and this morning I called her when I saw that she didn't come to the company, and I haven't been able to get through." I told you what happened.

"Linlin didn't come back at all last night, and his father and I didn't see her." Xia Mu listened to my words and said hurriedly.

So, Charlene should have disappeared last night?

"Lu Yan, let's call the police quickly, and let the police help find Linlin together." Xia Mu proposed.

I was embarrassed and said, "Auntie, Charlene has only disappeared for more than ten hours, and she can't report it." ”

"So what now? If something really happens to Linlin, I don't want to live. Xia Mu cried anxiously.

I hurriedly comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll find a way to find Charlene, don't think about it, Charlene will be fine, you believe me, ah?" ”

Mother Xia excitedly held my hand: "Lu Yan, you must help me find Linlin, she is the lifeblood of me and her father." ”

"Okay, Auntie, I promise you, I will definitely find Charlene."

Xia's mother said a few more words to me before I left Charlene's parents' house.

Charlene didn't come back at all last night, the only explanation is that she disappeared yesterday before she could go home, but I left the company with her yesterday, she didn't disappear from the company, and Ding Wei and they are different.

I was in a hurry, I didn't have a clue, thinking of the note that Charlene received before, I wasn't sure if she was still alive now, what I promised to Xia Mu just now was just a moment to comfort her, I didn't know where to find Charlene.

originally thought that he could find some clues when he came to her house, but Xia's father and Xia's mother didn't know anything about Charlene's situation.

It's been two days since Charlene disappeared, and I still haven't made any progress on her tracks, I sat in my place distractedly, and the sound of a text message came from my phone, I picked up the phone casually and clicked on it, it was a text message.

"I want to know the news of Charlene at eight o'clock tonight, go to No. XX Road, etc., don't call the police, otherwise you don't want to see her."

When I saw this news, I was a little excited, and I watched it several times before I realized that Charlene had news.

This text message was sent anonymously, and the phone number was not visible, so it should have been hidden with some software.

Although I don't know what happened to Charlene, at least I can be sure that she is still safe, and since the sender dares me to go, it means that they will not do anything to Charlene now.

I was relieved to learn of this fact, and it was good that Charlene's life would not be in danger now.

I fidgeted in the office all day, time passed slowly, and when it was time to get off work, I couldn't wait to get up and get ready to go to the address on the text message.

"Lu Yan." As soon as I got up, Yu Jie suddenly stopped me.

I looked back at her and asked suspiciously, "Yu Jie, what's wrong?" ”

She walked up to me and suddenly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

I hesitated, the text message said to let me go to that place, and didn't let me call the police, if I told Yu Jie, would it affect anything?

I was still hesitating, Yu Jie stared at my eyes, and said lightly: "Do you have any news from Charlene?" ”

"How do you know?" I subconsciously asked rhetorically, and only after I asked this question did I realize that I didn't admit myself.

She had a look on her face, and I glanced at my colleagues who hadn't finished leaving, pulled her aside, and whispered, "How do you know?" ”

Could it be that Yu Jie also received a text message? It shouldn't be.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at me, and said: "You have been restless since you read a text message in the morning, almost a dozen minutes to see the time, there must be something waiting for you to do, and it is a very urgent matter, but the most urgent thing for you now is the disappearance of Charlene, as soon as the time to get off work just now, you immediately got up and walked outside, and you didn't even collect the things on the table, so, I guess you have Charlene's news." ”

Yu Jie told me her analysis, and I had to admire this woman's intelligence.

"Yes, I do have news from Charlene." With that, I showed her the text message that day, and since she had already guessed it, there was no need to hide it from her.

Yu Jie's eyes quickly swept over my phone screen, read the text message, and I said, "I'm going to rush to the place mentioned in this text message now, I'm afraid that something will happen to Charlene if I go late." ”

"Are you really going?" Yu Jie asked.

"Of course, I can't just ignore her news and watch her die." I said.

Yu Jie was silent, I glanced at the time, and said to her: "I'll go first, don't tell others about Charlene's news." ”

"It's okay if I don't tell anyone, you can take me with you." Yu Jie suddenly spoke.

I looked at her with some surprise, and after making sure she wasn't joking, I frowned, "What are you going to do?" Don't make a fuss, I'm really in a hurry. ”

Yu Jie looked at me and said lightly: "I didn't make trouble, I want to go with you, if you don't agree, I will call the police." ”

After listening to Yu Jie's words, I expressed that I didn't understand, and just as I was about to find a reason to reject her, I found that she took out her mobile phone and clicked 110 on the dialing interface.

I saw that she looked serious and had a headache, and persuaded her bitterly: "Yu Jie, the place I am going to now is very dangerous, and I don't know what will happen if I go over, why do you have to follow me?" ”

She still looked calm, but her tone was much more solemn: "You don't need to know why I have to go with me, you just need to know that I have to go." ”

Yu Jie's attitude was very resolute, I was a little hesitant, she looked at me with those cold eyes, and said softly: "Just take it as if I begged you." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, there was a hint of pleading in her tone, this was the first time I heard Yu Jie speak to me in this tone, she had always been that cold and indifferent, but at this moment she said the word "begging" to me.

I couldn't refuse her like this, in the end, I still agreed to let Yu Jie go with me, anyway, the text message just said that I couldn't call the police, but I didn't say that I couldn't bring more people.

I took Yu Jie to find a car and rushed to the address on the text message.

Strangely, the driver looked embarrassed when he heard where we were going.

"This place..."

"Don't you run on this ground?" I asked.

The driver nodded: "You guys can find another car." ”

I glanced at the time, it was already half past six, and it was too late to delay the time, so I pulled the driver and said, "Master, you can take us there, we can give more fares." ”

The driver was embarrassed and said: "Alas, it's not a matter of fare, most drivers in this place don't go there." ”

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

The driver didn't answer my question, I pestered him and asked a few words, he couldn't resist my pestering and replied: "Since you want to know so much, then I'll say it, in fact, there is nothing, the address you just said, there have been deaths before, and then the people who live there say that it is haunted, and after a long time, the people living in the surrounding area have moved away, and we solicitors are afraid of any accidents, so we don't go there." ”

I listened to the driver's words, and Yu Jie glanced at each other, both of them had a little complicated faces, and after the driver explained the reason, he asked curiously: "Young man, that place is so remote, there is nothing, what are you going to do there, where is the little couple going on a date, why do you want to run to that kind of land." ”

Obviously, the driver misunderstood, and he thought that Yu Jie and I were a couple and were going on a date over there.

I didn't have time to explain too much to him, so I pleaded, "Master, we really have something to do over there, so you can take us there." ”
