Chapter 285: Commitment
But...... After I came out of that house, I started to have trouble again.
Although I promised the imp to protect this envelope well, I ...... Actually, I don't have any way around it.
Do you want to say that I failed in my mission? Then if he comes in person...... I couldn't eat and walked around, and I might have exposed the kid.
Just tangled, the sky gradually brightened.
Half of the agreed time has passed, and I still have nothing to do.
I didn't know how to go back, so I could only wander around the streets aimlessly, but fortunately I didn't become any strange species, and it wasn't much different from before.
"Lu Yan?" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears-
I was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned my head-
"Xiao Wang?" Looking at the familiar figure in front of me, I couldn't help but exclaim.
He should still be at work at this time, why is he here?
"What are you...... Where did it go? He looked me strangely and looked me up and down.
"I'm fine, but you, aren't you at work now?" I waved my hand, not at all going to tell him what the hell was going on.
"Well, am I not hungry? I didn't have time to eat lunch, so I came out to buy a meal at this time. As he spoke, he raised the lunch box he was carrying and said.
But...... I remember that he was obviously not busy, just a receptionist at the front desk.
"Then you go get busy first, I'll go back first." I waved my hand, and was about to turn away when someone grabbed me by the shoulder!
I was slightly stunned, and when I turned around, I saw Xiao Wang's face that wanted to speak and stopped.
Is there anything else you want to say to me?
I didn't ask, I looked at him silently, he seemed to be entangled for a moment, and then sighed heavily-
"Do you have any news of Xiao Li?"
I was a little stunned for a moment, and I almost told him about it, but ...... When it came to my mouth, I was still held back!
The less people know about this matter, the better, and who knows what will happen in the future.
It's safer not to know, and besides...... Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to help.
"No news yet, what about you?" I shook my head and sighed helplessly.
But a hint of uncertainty flashed across his face, and before I could confirm it, it vanished—
"That's right...... We don't have it there, I hope he will take care of the ......" He seemed to have something on his mind suddenly, and after saying two sentences, he found a reason to leave.
Originally, I didn't think he was strange, but just now his performance ...... It's just weird.
I wanted to go back to the dormitory, but ...... Now I've dispelled my thoughts—
Not long after he left, I quietly followed, I don't know if it was because I had been following him too much before, but I am here now.
I thought he would go straight to the police station, but ...... He turned a corner on the side road near the police station!
I was shocked and immediately followed!
Although the small alley is not very remote, it is rarely visited, especially since many places have been deserted.
I didn't dare to get too close, so I could only watch cautiously as he seemed to have turned around at a doorway, and then ...... There was no movement.
I walked cautiously for a while, but ...... But I saw a camera not far away-
Who's going to have a camera here? There must be some ulterior secret.
But I couldn't move forward – it was clearly not the time to expose myself.
I had no choice but to push it out, and I couldn't hear any movement here, but ...... I didn't want to give up so quickly.
But...... At that moment, my phone rang suddenly—
I immediately jumped my phone to silent and only then did I see the caller ID...... It turned out to be an uncle!?
Quickly exiting from the alley, I found a suitable place before picking up the phone-
"Hello?"
"Where are you?" Uncle's anxious voice suddenly came from the phone, which made me stunned.
"I'm ...... What about the outside, what's wrong uncle? I said quickly.
"You...... Come to me first, I've got something to do. Uncle's voice seemed to relax slightly, but ...... But it still had the same serious tone as before.
I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only agree, but ...... He glanced back at the alley and kept the location firmly in his mind.
Be sure to visit here while you have time.
Sixth Sense Tell Me...... There is a secret here.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the police station, and I walked for more than ten minutes to get there.
At this time, there was a person sitting at the front desk that I had not met, and Xiao Wang had not yet returned.
"Where's Xiao Wang?" I subconsciously asked.
"He said he had something to do at home and went out, are you looking for him?" The guy at the front desk smiled at me.
I waved my hand and went straight to my uncle's office—
But before I could go inside, I felt a low pressure inside.
What's going on?
"Uncle?" When I entered, I found him frowning at a document on the table, but when I came in, his expression was even more meaningful.
Could it be that something happened during my absence?
"Come here." He beckoned to me, and I had no choice but to step forward.
Look at the look in his eyes...... I had a bad feeling in my heart, but I didn't know where it came from.
"Where have you been all this time?" He took a deep breath and looked at me with a gaze full of scrutiny, especially ...... He looked me up and down—
I was slightly stunned, could it be that he knew something? It stands to reason that it shouldn't!
My heart beat faster, and I looked at my uncle carefully, but his expression was still ......
"I ......" Just as I was struggling with whether to make up a reason, my uncle suddenly slapped the documents on the table, and I subconsciously looked over-
But the whole person's brain crashed!
This is......
The photo on the table is a little unclear, but it ...... You can tell it's me just by looking at the way I dress, and the point is ...... I'm actually eating, drinking, and having fun with a bunch of thugs, and the last one is even fighting!?
What the hell are these pictures!? How could Uncle have these things!?
"You don't have anything to explain to me?" My uncle's dark, complicated look at me made me speechless for a moment.
It's not me at all, what are you asking me to explain?
"This picture is fake, I haven't done anything like this before." I took a deep breath and met my uncle's complicated eyes.
He seemed to be sure if my words were true, after half a sound...... He sighed helplessly.
"If this weren't you...... So where do you say you've been during this time? He sat back in his seat and put the photos away.
"I ......" I didn't know how to explain it, but even if I told my uncle, he must have thought I was joking.
After all...... It's hard for the average person to accept these things.
"Are you sure it's not you?" He wasn't trying to ask me what I meant, he was making sure of me.
I nodded firmly, "It's definitely not me, although I can't tell my uncle what I'm going to do...... But it's not going to fool around, I swear. ”
Immediately raised two fingers and swore, and the uncle nodded.
"Have you offended someone?" My uncle's tone was a little better, and his gaze softened a little when he looked at me.
I was slightly stunned, looking at the 'me' in the photo, although I didn't have a straight face, but ...... They were all dressed very much like me, and the most important thing was that a few of the clothes were mine!
How would the average person know what I usually dressed, this look...... It's clearly someone I'm familiar with!
At least it's common for me to know it, but ...... I thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to be such a person.
There aren't many people I know well, and I can count them on my fingers, but ...... It can't be them?
"Be careful, someone is probably eyeing you." Uncle reminded.
I nodded, but I still had no clue in my mind, although I felt ...... It was as if he was being watched, but he couldn't find out who that person was.
At first I thought it was the man, but ...... After meeting more times, I realized that the man disdained to spy on others, yes, he didn't.
"Uncle...... Is there any news from Xiao Li recently? I struggled for a while, but I still asked.
But when I saw my uncle's face, my heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
"But...... It's a bit of a discovery. Uncle's words made my mind suddenly clouded, and I subconsciously stood up!
"A few days ago, when I was investigating and monitoring, I saw Xiao Li's figure at an intersection, but ...... There is no follow-up yet. He sighed helplessly.
"Who else knows?"
"There are also several people who are familiar with Xiao Li in charge of the case, and the others don't know for the time being."
Fortunately...... But suddenly a trace of doubt flashed in my heart, and it was so fleeting that I didn't have time to figure out what was wrong.
Following my uncle's glance at Xiao Li's last surveillance, I suddenly realized...... That intersection is familiar.
"It seems to be near the police station, but it's almost scrapped there, and no one lives there for years, so I can't figure out what he's doing there." Uncle waved his hand and said helplessly.
"Police station...... Neighborhood? I don't know how in my mind, I suddenly remembered that when I followed Xiao Wang this morning, these two alleys ...... It looks very similar.
"Yes, I didn't have it when I looked at it a few days ago, but I suddenly found it yesterday." Uncle seemed to be puzzled.
No one knows what happened in between, all this ...... Who did it?
And then...... After that day, Xiao Li never appeared from here again, and disappeared completely.
"I know you may have something inconvenient to tell me, but ......," Uncle patted me on the shoulder. Be sure to protect yourself. ”
Seeing his earnest expression, I couldn't help but nod my head, not wanting him to worry about me anymore.
When I came out of the police station, I was already unaware that it was evening, and when I went downstairs, I deliberately glanced at the reception room on the ground floor, and it seemed to ...... There is still no figure of Xiao Wang.
Is he still there? I couldn't help but wonder if it was a coincidence or ...... that he went there. What's hidden?
Unconsciously slipped into that alley, and at this time it was dark inside, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
It was as if there was a gaze looking at me inside, and it made me uncomfortable.
But now was obviously not the opportunity to go in and find out, so I had to go back to the school first, and only after making sure that no one was following me did I quietly leave in the night.
When I reached the low alley, I saw the gate at a glance—
It was still a wall before, but in the moment I used to be, it was as if the kaleidoscope had suddenly changed, and it suddenly became a gate!
The speed in the blink of an eye made me a little bit more complacent.
As soon as he raised his hand, before I could knock on the door, the door suddenly opened—
I was slightly stunned, and quickly slipped in through the crack in the door—
Soon a maid led me inside.
"My lord, the master is waiting for you inside." She gave me a deep look before retreating, and my back was chilled by that gaze.
It's very respectful, but ...... I could feel her disdain for me.
Knock knock knock - I knocked on the door three times before I entered, and I saw the man with a book in his hand, looking at it carefully.
I seem to ...... Every time I see him, I have a book in my hand, does he really like to read it so much?
"I'm back." Seeing that he didn't mean to look up at all, I had to speak out in embarrassment.
He looked up from the book, and his eyes picked at me slightly.
"Tell you to complete the task......" He slowly picked up the cup on the table, his fingers slowly touching the pattern on it, as if waiting for my answer.
This man ...... Looking at him, I suddenly had the feeling of being stared at by a python, and the slightest carelessness would kill me.
"I got it, but I can't give it to you." I know someone must be watching me to see if I'm done, and I'm here to report back to him just to prove my heart.
And I lied and now it doesn't do me any good at all.
"Failed?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his lips deepened.
