On this day, Star Swirl finally got her wish and woke up naturally. When she smelled the strong aroma of coffee, she muttered half-asleep: "I really want to drink coffee......

Mr. X dipped his finger in the cup and placed it under Star Swirl's nose, and the fluffy little creature opened its amber eyes.

"Meow~" Star Swirl let out a cry of pleasure and reached out with her little prickly tongue to lick Mr. X's fingers.

"You're really a cat." Mr. X couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm going to give you a thumbs up for the way you shouted," Star Swirl arched up, stretching wide, looking back at the clock hanging on the wall, and exclaimed, "It's eleven o'clock!" ”

"Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" Star Swirl asks.

"I made an appointment to meet with someone who used to live in the old house, but it's still early." Mr. X replied.

"That'...... Didn't you go to Hanhan's house today? I'm still worried about them. Star Swirl said.

"You care so much about them?" Mr. X saw the look of amazement in her eyes.

"I guess I saw my sister and I in them......" Star Swirl pursed her lips, "always wanting to help them." ”

Mr. X said, "I'll send you there before dark." ”

The implication is that nothing happens during the day.

After the two of them had "breakfast and lunch", they drove to their destination. On the way, Star Swirl asks, "I'm curious, how did you get this appointment?" ”

"Through some special channels, of course." Mr. X starts selling off again, and Star Swirl looks out the window angrily.

The car stopped at the entrance of a residential area, and Mr. X got out of the car with his backpack.

"How did you come? I've been waiting for a long time. A woman in a white cashmere coat and a beret approached with a smile.

"Guan Yulan? Could it be that Mr. X is referring to her by 'channel'? Star Swirl was speechless.

Mr. X glanced at her and replied coldly, "You can go up first." ”

Guan Yulannu pouted and complained: "I made a special trip to wait for you here, I really don't appreciate it." ”

Star Swirl wanted to jump out and yell at her, "Stop flirting! But she couldn't, only grinding her paws in her backpack angrily.

Mr. X senses Star Swirl's movements, and the corners of his mouth curl upwards.

This scene happened to fall into Guan Yulan's eyes, she smiled and brushed the broken hair next to her ears, and a trace of blush appeared on her face, "Then let's go up." ”

The two went up to the seventh floor of Building A in the community together, Guan Yulan rang the doorbell and stood beside Mr. X in a twisted posture.

A female voice came from the door: "Coming," the door was immediately opened, and when the people saw Guan Yulan's face, they immediately welcomed them into the door enthusiastically.

"Miss Guan, you're finally here." A woman about forty years old said to her gratefully, turned her eyes to Mr. X's handsome face, and asked, "This is ......?"

"He's my colleague." Guan Yulan replied with a smile, "What about your lover, aren't you at home?" ”

The woman shook her head and sighed, "My mother-in-law just had heart bypass surgery recently, and my lover went to the hospital to take care of her, and it has been a disaster for the past few years......

Looking at the woman's haggard face and the gray hair growing from her sideburns, Star Swirl felt very sad in her heart. She remembered her "parents" on the First Plane, and when Lucky and Star Swirl had both disappeared, they had most likely collapsed.

"Don't be too negative, the police have always said 'missing', I believe Lele must be alive and well." Guan Yulan comforted.

The woman wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "But in the past year, no new clues have been found. The child abduction and trafficking organization that was caught before has nothing to do with Lele's disappearance......"

Mr. X looked at the picture frame on his desk, and inside was a boy with an innocent smile, who looked like he was only seven or eight years old.

"When the child disappeared, did your family live in the old mansion in Greene District?" Guan Yulan asked.

The woman nodded, with a look of remorse on her face: "We shouldn't be greedy and buy a house there, it's a shame!" ”

"Is there anything wrong with that house?" Guan Yulan asked.

"I'm sure you've been to the old house," said the woman, "it's in the middle of nowhere, far from the city, and the whole community is not monitored, and the security guards are just decorations!" ”

"We know this, and because of this, the police can't find any clues." Guan Yulan said, "Actually, we also want to know some other information about the old house. ”

"Like what?" The woman wondered.

"For example, when your child lived in the old house, did he have an imaginary partner?" Mr. X, who had been silent, asked.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and began to think back to the scene two years ago, and replied, "It seems that there is such a thing, because Lele is an only child, and he will imagine a child to play with him, and we don't think there is anything wrong with it." ”

"So, does the imaginary partner have a name?" Mr. X continued to ask.

"Name...... I don't quite remember. The woman bit her lip and her eyes sparkled.

"Is it called 'Cancan'?"

When Mr. X's words fell, the woman was shocked and said, "You, how do you know?" ”

"Didn't you say you don't remember the name?" Guan Yulan stared at the woman and asked rhetorically.

"When he said that, I had an impression...... "The woman replied nonorly, as if she was deliberately concealing something.

"If you can't tell us everything, there's nothing we can do to help you." Guan Yulan stood up and made a gesture to leave.

The woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her: "Miss Guan, we have something to say, don't be angry first." ”

"I'm not angry," Guan Yulan said after holding the woman's hand, "I really want to help you find the child, although you can't investigate the case like the police, but our magazine has a certain influence in K City, maybe we can find some clues......

"I don't mean to hide it," tears welled up in the woman's eyes, "I think you wouldn't believe it, even if you did." ”

"Tell me about it." Mr. X always sat on the couch and had no intention of leaving.

"Two years ago, we just moved to our old house in Greene District, and we live on the third floor of the west unit, which also has only two units and has very few residents.

Lele's father and I have to go to work during the day, and Lele is often home alone. In the past, when we were going out, Lele would pester me and not let me go to work.

Since moving to this house, Lele has become less concerned about us, preferring to hide in his room and talk to himself from time to time.

At that time, we thought that he might be too lonely, so we pretended to have a partner to play with us, and gave someone the name 'Cancan'. ”
