Chapter 46: An ominous omen

But just as Lin and I were about to leave, Cheng Kui's father stopped us. His face looked panicked, as if he had mustered up the courage to stop us. I glanced at him and asked if anything else was wrong.

Cheng Kui's father seemed a little worried, and hesitated for a long time before asking us, is it possible that Cheng Kui has encountered something bad? If so, hopefully I can tell him. I was silent for a long time, thinking that even if I could hide this for a while, I couldn't keep it a secret.

So I thought that it was better to know later than to know sooner, and I told Cheng Kui's father the idea that Cheng Kui might have fallen victim to the disappearance. Of course, since Cheng Kui's disappearance has only been around for a morning, it cannot be established yet.

However, I have a vague intuition that Cheng Kui may not be able to return to his dirty room. Lynn looked at me and sighed softly. Her opinion is different from mine, and she is more supportive of not telling Cheng Kui's father first.

After all, the girl is soft-hearted, looking at Cheng Kui's father's down-and-out appearance, she still feels that her father should not lose hope of living. Hao Duanduan's own son disappeared like this, not to mention Cheng Kui's father, it is impossible for any family to stand it.

After being stunned for a long time, Cheng Kui's father's cloudy eyes, eyelids gradually drooped, and then he didn't speak, but slowly, lowered his head and closed the door of the house.

But Lynn and I had just descended the stairs when we heard hurried footsteps behind us. When he looked back, he found that Cheng Kui's father was wearing a shabby gray jacket and hurriedly walked down the stairs made of iron sheets.

He stood in front of us a little breathlessly, glanced at Lin and me uneasily, touched his own head, and said, "Two police comrades, can I go with you to find my son?"

I thought to myself that there was nothing wrong with this, so I took Cheng Kui's father to look for it in the surrounding area. While walking on the road, Cheng Kui's father also told me that Cheng Kui has been going to places where minors are forbidden to go in and out since he entered high school.

He had advised him many times, but Cheng Kui didn't listen to him at all, as if the bad students he was messing with were the most important beings in his life.

Lin and I listened quietly, and Cheng Kui's father seemed to have not talked to anyone for a long time, showing the typical symptoms of autism - chatterbox, and saying anything that was heart-wrenching. Cheng Kui said that he wanted to get closer to his son, after all, after divorcing his mother, he was such a relative.

But it's a pity that Cheng Kui's personality is his own, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. Lin asked him strangely, why do you still feel sorry for your son to be a father because of his own character?

Cheng Kui's father laughed bitterly, saying that he had suffered a lot of unbearable things since he was a child because of this character who was not good at interacting with people. He didn't say anything in detail, but looking at the gloomy look on his face, he could probably guess what was going on.

Wandering around this urban village for a while, due to the remote location, whether it is a discotheque, a teahouse, or an Internet café, there are only a few of them. As we expected, there were still the most young people living in urban villages, but we searched almost all the places, and we didn't see Cheng Kui.

At first, Cheng Kui's father was quite talkative, and he didn't listen to him, as if someone could listen to him more than looking for his son.

But gradually, as we spent more and more time, the sky grew darker, and the night gradually fell down like some ominous omen, and Cheng Kui's father's words became less.

He was silent and had a serious expression, and at first he followed Lin and me, but before he knew it, when it was completely dark, he was already at the forefront with his back bent. At about eight o'clock in the evening, Cheng Kui's father seemed to have become a statue and didn't say a word.

His lips were chapped and pale, and they were tightly pursed, and because of their thinness, the skin on his cheeks was long pulled down, forming a figure-of-eight pattern, which added a bit of old color to him. Every time he walked around a shop, but he couldn't find Cheng Kui's shadow, he touched his short head.

Although he didn't speak, I saw that the Sichuan characters between Cheng Kui's father's eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper, and in the end, it was almost as if he had really carved a word. When it was ten o'clock in the evening, Cheng Kui's father was as if he had been hypnotized, and he did not wake up at all.

He turned to look for another Internet café that he had repeated at least five times, and when I grabbed him, he turned around and looked at me with some indifference. I said it was already ten o'clock, so it was better to go home first, maybe Cheng Kui had already arrived home.

Although I thought it was very unlikely, Cheng Kui's father seemed to take this sentence as the truth, and immediately patted his head, turned around and ran in the direction of his house.

Lin and I almost didn't have expectations, watching Cheng Kui's father striding towards the house, and we both followed slowly, neither of us deliberately said anything to enliven the atmosphere.

At this time, I knew that no matter what I said, it didn't make much sense, it was difficult to boost morale, unless I could find Cheng Kui, or find some useful clues, otherwise everything else would be useless.

"What do you think...... At what point did Cheng Kui start disappearing? ”

Lynn asked me suddenly.

“…… I don't know, my head is really bad, why didn't I remember Cheng Kui's traces. ”

Lin said that I don't blame me for this, because even she seems to have been hooked, and for some reason, she subconsciously observed all the students, but she just didn't focus on Cheng Kui.

From the perspective of Lin and me, it seems that Cheng Kui disappeared from the air at the moment when the riot ended. If I'm not mistaken, while waiting for the ambulance, Cheng Kui was always there.

The reason why I remember it clearly is because Cheng Kui had been lying beside Wang Yaoyao at that time, crying constantly. So the problem should be after the ambulance arrives. When the shrill sound of ambulances began to ring through the campus, memories began to blur.

All the students seemed very flustered, and the children in the next class were also watching with the idea of joining in the fun. At that time, in order to put Mr. Li and Wang Yaoyao in the ambulance first, the ambulance staff brought a stretcher.

Teacher Li was helped out by the students, while Wang Yaoyao was carried out on a stretcher. I remember that when Wang Yaoyao was carried out of the class, many students blocked her side......

Recalling this, I suddenly realized something and shouted: "By the way, Cheng Kui should have been by Wang Yaoyao's side, after all, they are boyfriend and girlfriend!" But...... His presence seemed to blur as soon as the ambulance entered the class......"

"I agree with you, I feel the same, the memory has blurred since the ambulance entered the class, and it may have something to do with the fact that our attention was completely focused on Wang Yaoyao and the ambulance staff."

Thinking of this, after all, I couldn't find any useful clues, I sighed, and said to Lin, if Cheng Kui still didn't show up during the day tomorrow, things could only be thought in a bad direction.

Lin smiled bitterly and comforted, maybe we will find him when we get to Cheng Kui's house? I said that it would be good if it was like that, and I didn't need to see the sad expression on Cheng Kui's father's face.

However, the reality is always very backbone, and when Lin and I returned to Cheng Kui's house, we found Cheng Kui's father lying on his back, holding a can of beer in his hand, staring blankly at the TV on the small table not far away.

Every now and then he would take a sip and continue to stare numbly at the TV. The gray jacket on his body was not taken off either. I think if I hadn't come with Lynn and I, maybe he'd slept like this.

"Mr. Cheng...... We'll be looking for a little more tonight...... Then tomorrow, if Cheng Kui still hasn't returned, we will officially notify the police to start a search...... However, I advise you to be mentally prepared first. ”

Cheng Kui's father shook his head, and he didn't know whether to agree or oppose, but seeing that he seemed to be a different person, and he didn't want to say a word to us anymore, we quietly closed the door and left. When she returned home that night, Senior Sister Mu Mu finally came back from the forensic appraisal center.

Originally, Lin and I were in a rather depressed mood, but Senior Sister Mumu and Dongzi seemed to be chatting happily at home, and the atmosphere was good. And Dongzi is fiddling with some of the props that Lin asked him to buy back for the live broadcast. What data cables, power banks, mobile phone holders, batteries, flashlights, and so on are messy and everything.

When Senior Sister Mu Mu saw that we were back, she shouted happily that it was time to start eating, and immediately took the stir-fry out of the wok and put it on the table.

People take food as the sky, and no matter how many things there are, they have to eat first and then think about it. I tried to forget about the headaches for a while, and then threw myself into dinner.

I have to say that there are two girls with superb cooking skills, Mu Mu and Lin are in charge, Dongzi and I are really blessed, not only does it not cost much to buy ingredients, but also the things we make are delicious and nutritious.

After eating, Senior Sister Mu Mu cut the fruit again and brought it up, and we discussed each other's progress while eating. In order to improve efficiency, we are now in a state of division of labor. For example, Lin and I are in charge of the main investigation of the case.

Dongzi was in charge of preparing for the live broadcast, but Dongzi said that everything that could be bought with the money on hand had already been bought. After saying that, he took out a large handful of change from his pocket and put it on the table.

We counted and found that the change added up to more than a hundred. This amount of money is actually the living expenses of four adults for more than half a month in the future, can you believe it......

Dongzi grabbed a few grapes and threw them into his mouth, and said while smashing his mouth: "Hangzi, I have all the things that we can buy with the cash in our hands, and as for other large items, such as cameras, night vision devices, and lighting, we have to think of a way." ”

I sighed, stared at the more than 100 yuan of change, and said: "Think of a way to yarn, you don't need a way now, you need money, and if you have money, you can solve anything, to put it bluntly, aren't we just poor money." ”

Dongzi smiled and said, "Hey, it's this reason, so what do you say?" Shall we consider going on the busks? ”

Senior Sister Mu Mu immediately clapped her hands excitedly and shouted, "Okay, good!" I've wanted to try the busking feel for a long time! It's so much fun! ”
