Bai Xiaohan saw Qiao Ying's somewhat embarrassed look, and said encouragingly: "Even the smallest clues may be able to help us solve the case." ”

"I want to show you something," Qiao Ying said slowly, and then took out some of the students' English homework books from the drawer.

She found Zhang Ruisi's workbook and flipped to the last page, which was an English essay called "Dreamland".

"What is this?" Bai Xiaohan took it and looked at it roughly.

"This is the homework I assigned to the students last Friday, an essay about dreams," Qiao Ying frowned and continued, "As a result, when I collected it this morning, I found that more than thirty students had all described the same dream.

However, judging from the rhetorical techniques of writing and the use of words and sentences, it is unlikely that they will plagiarize each other. I called a few of them for questioning, but they all told me that I dreamed of a girl dressed in white walking down a dark alley. ”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaohan couldn't help but think of the girl in white that Xiao Hui mentioned in his mouth, and she suddenly noticed that there was a subtle connection between these things.

"I believe they are not lying," Bai Xiaohan nodded, "Teacher Qiao, can you lend me these homework books temporarily?" ”

"No problem, you can take it all." Qiao Ying handed over the rest of the homework book to Bai Xiaohan's hands.

Bai Xiaohan just walked to the door with his homework book, and heard Qiao Ying's voice again: "Officer Bai, do you say that Tang Yitong and Zhang Ruisi can come back?" ”

Bai Xiaohan replied with some noncommittality: "We will try our best to find them." ”

In the office of the editor-in-chief of the Urban Essay Society, Mr. X sat on the sofa of the receptionist, waiting for Guan Yulan's arrival.

That's right, now she is no longer an ordinary editor, but has been promoted to "Guan Editor-in-Chief".

After the last time, Guan Yulan decided to give Mr. X a few colors to see, so that he knew that he was not the kind of person who could be on call.

However, Mr. X has already explained his intention on the phone, and he has obtained clues about Guan Yulan's sister's disappearance, and with this, she must also put aside the dissatisfaction in her heart and meet with him.

At this point, the door was pushed open. Guan Yulan was wearing a bean-green Chinese-style cheongsam with black edges, and her temperament looked a little cold. She walked slowly into the room with her high heels on her heels, with a detached smile on her face:

"What's the matter, just tell me."

Star Swirl was very unimpressed with her, and even if the woman had lost her usual enthusiasm for Mr. X, it seemed to her to be a gesture of indulgence.

Mr. X placed a photo on the table.

Guan Yulan narrowed her eyes, supported her chin with her right hand, and stared blankly at the photo on the table. Five minutes have passed, and she is still looking at the picture.

In the photo is a delicate girl, with a pair of beautiful eyes, she looks very aura, and she can be seen as a teenager She is definitely the most conspicuous one in the crowd, and maybe she will be more beautiful and charming when she grows up.

"Where did you get this picture?" Guan Yulan raised her head and looked at Mr. X steadily.

Mr. X avoided answering her question and asked, "Does it look like your missing sister?" ”

"It's not just a look, it's a picture of my sister at all." Guan Yulan said firmly.

"Was your sister about thirteen when she disappeared?" Mr. X continued to ask.

"You haven't answered my question, where did you get this picture?" Guan Yulan approached Mr. X, forced her eyes at him and asked.

The blue eyes froze, and a cold look swept over: "You'd better figure out your position." ”

Guan Yulan opened her mouth, only to feel that her throat was tight. She had become extremely sensitive because of her sister's affairs, but she ignored the terrible thing about the man in front of her, and she suddenly remembered the first time she saw him in the old mansion in Greene District.

Seeing Guan Yulan's gaffe, Star Swirl is speechless and turns over in her backpack and continues to pretend to sleep.

"I'm sorry, I... I'm so excited. Guan Yulan resumed the pretentious posture of the little woman, and lowered her head to brush the broken hair in her ears.

"This photo is from Tang Yitong, the daughter of the director of the children's welfare home." Mr. X closed his eyes and slowly spat out a few words.

"Yitong..."Guan Yulan repeated these two words, and suddenly her face turned pale, "How can it be exactly the same as my sister's name?" ”

"You also know that if your sister lived to this day, it would be impossible for her to maintain the appearance of thirteen or fourteen years old."

"However, not only the name is the same, but even the appearance is the same! This can't be a coincidence! Definitely not! Guan Yulan said a little excited.

"Don't get excited, you won't see her yet."

"Why? Did something happen to her? Guan Yulan asked anxiously.

Tang Zhengwen's body was found on the roof of the apartment where he lived, while his daughter had been missing for a week. This is a big news for your media. However, the police have not made it public, so you can do it yourself. ”

Mr. X told Guan Yulan about Tang Zhengwen lightly, but Guan Yulan was shocked, "How did Dean Tang die?" Murder? ”

Mr. X spread his hands and said, "If you want to know about the case, go and ask the police." ”

"So, you came to me just to tell me about Tang Yitong?" Guan Yulan looked at the unpredictable man in front of her with some uncertainty.

"It can be understood that way." Mr. X nodded, got up and prepared to leave.

"If there's any clue next, you... Will you still tell me? Guan Yulan's soft voice came from behind him.

"I told you before that you should not interfere in the disappearance case of Xichuan Middle School, and this advice is still valid."

"So, it's going to be dangerous, and you don't want me to get into danger, do you?" Guan Yulan asked cautiously, her heart pounding in her chest like a fawn.

"Huh?" There seemed to be a sly smile in her blue eyes, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if the game loses its usefulness at the beginning?" ”

The man's black back disappeared from Guan Yulan's field of vision, and her heart seemed to fall into a cold ice cellar. For him, he has always been a pawn.

If it loses its use value, it is undoubtedly a waste chess. A chess piece that can be dropped at any time.

Coming out of the urban essay club, there was no lightning and thunder in the sky, but the heavy rain was still falling, and the raindrops kept hitting the leaves outside the car window, splashing dusty water droplets, and occasionally flying into the car window, wetting the hair of the man by the window.

Seeing that he didn't start the car, Star Swirl asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Why don't we just stay quiet."

He rarely uttered such emotional words, and Star Swirl guessed that the search for the soul vessel might not be going well, and chuckled and said, "Then you promised to be my shovel officer forever, okay?" ”

The corners of Mr. X's lips raised a shallow arc, and he replied unhurriedly: "Okay." ”
