Chapter 12: Panic
"Hehe, I recently moved to a new house, how are you doing?" Yin Tian took off the bag on his body and put it behind him, and looked at Ding Xiao with one hand on his cheek.
On the surface, she was staring at Ding Xiao, but in fact, she kept glancing at the road with her spare eyes.
Lu Yuanhao didn't have a good impression of Yin Tian's uninvited character, and because she was Ding Xiao's friend, he didn't say anything, just ate the things on the plate with a flat expression.
Ding Xiao took a deep breath and was just about to answer, when the waiter brought up the dishes and chopsticks.
Yin Tian thanked him and unpacked the dishes and chopsticks, and continued: "Is this your friend?" ”
"Well, my junior high school classmate Lu Yuanhao."
Yin Tian nodded and began to introduce himself: "My name is Yin Tian, a good friend of Ding Xiao University. After speaking, she stretched out her hand and wanted to shake Lu Yuanhao, but Lu Yuanhao just hummed indifferently and didn't even look at her.
Yin Tian withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, and his originally excited mood suddenly became gloomy. In order to avoid embarrassment, she turned her head to look at Ding Xiao, only to find that Ding Xiao's face was very bad. "Xiaoxiao, have you been staying up late lately lately? The face is so bad. Eh, what is it? She glanced at the missing person notice that Ding Xiao had placed in the empty position, so she reached out and picked it up.
When he saw the information on the missing person notice, Yin Tianxin missed a beat. "This ......"
Ding Xiao sighed, "It's been five days, and Ding Zhong happened on the day of the move." ”
"Did you call the police?"
"I called the police, and the police are also trying their best to find it, but there is no news at all."
Yin Tian pursed her lips and wanted to say something to comfort Ding Xiao, but she didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was suddenly a little awkward, until a phone call came in.
It was Zhang Yi who called, and he said that there was progress in the case of Ding Deng's disappearance, and asked her to go to the police station.
Ding Xiao, who got the news, immediately rushed to the police station, of course, it was Lu Yuanhao who drove her.
"Officer Zhang." Ding Xiao walked into Zhang Yi's office quickly after getting out of the car, looking very excited. "Is there any news of Ding Dang?"
"You sit down first." Zhang Yi asked Ding Xiao to sit opposite him, and after Ding Xiao sat down, he folded his hands on the table and said with a serious expression. "Are you sure your sister's disappearance is related to the murderer you saw that night?"
Ding Xiao was stunned for a moment, a little panicked: "What's wrong?" "She's afraid to hear bad news.
"The night before yesterday, we received another report, the same case of a female college student missing." Zhang Yi said, "After investigation, we suspect that this disappearance may not be committed by the same person as the murder you witnessed." ”
Ding Xiao was a little stunned.
Zhang Yi continued: "If it was the murderer you saw doing it, what was the motive? Even if you're afraid that you'll see his face and take action, then his target should be you. ”
"Maybe my sister's disappearance has something to do with him, and the disappearance of another girl has nothing to do with him? There are still many people who abduct and sell women in society, but it is not necessarily the same person. ”
Zhang Yi leaned forward slightly: "Why are you so sure of him?" Or rather, your subconscious wish that the person who kidnapped your sister was him. ”
"......" Ding Xiao was speechless. She couldn't say why she was so sure it was the man who took her sister, but she had a strong feeling that it was him. And......
"Before my sister disappeared, I always felt like someone was watching me. Now that I'm feeling that way again, maybe the killer is staring at me in the dark right now. ”
"Feelings are just feelings, and there has to be evidence." Zhang Yi is also anxious now. Liang Fang and Zhou Min have not yet caught the murderer in their deaths, and now there is another case of disappearance, and the only eyewitness is still convinced that the murderer of Liang Fang did it.
"Evidence? I feel like I'm being targeted, do you need proof? I don't think I'll have a chance to show it after I get the evidence. Ding Xiao's emotions were a little out of control, and she even wanted to scold the police for not doing things well.
"Miss Ding, calm down first."
"Am I not calm enough? My sister has been missing for five days, and her fate is still unknown! ”
"Our police are doing our best to find it, and we will notify you as soon as there is news." Zhang Yi originally wanted to ask Ding Xiao to cooperate with their police work, but Ding Xiao's emotions were too easy to get out of control. "In this case, we will send two police officers to protect you secretly."
Ding Xiao was silent for a while, gasped and stood up: "I only hope you can find Ding Zhong's whereabouts as soon as possible." After speaking, she turned around and left, and saw Lu Yuanhao still waiting for her at the door of the police station.
It was already evening, and it was dark early in the winter evening. It was only five o'clock in the sky, and the sky was already covered with a layer of gray, and the gray hue was slowly drifting with snow.
Lu Yuanhao leaned against the car door and stood in the snow, quietly waiting for Ding Xiao to come out.
Ding Xiao stopped at the door of the police station and looked at him from afar.
In an instant, the sky is dark, and it is also reborn.
"Ding Xiao." Lu Yuanhao saw that Ding Xiao was no longer moving forward, so he walked towards her. "What's wrong? Did I tell you anything? ”
Ding Xiao felt that her nose was a little sour, but she couldn't help but not red her eyes. With a bitter smile, she waved her hand and continued to walk forward: "It's nothing. ”
Lu Yuanhao walked behind her, "I'll send you back to rest, your mental state has been too bad recently." ”
"I'm going to work soon, and the materials for the live broadcast haven't been prepared yet." Ding Xiao was not in the mood at all, but he had to be forced by life to be busy. "Send me to the company."
"Can't take a leave of absence?" Lu Yuanhao twisted his eyebrows.
"No, the company is already short of people."
"Then resign."
“……”
"If you're short of money, I have a card here with 100,000 in it." Saying that, Lu Yuanhao opened the car door, took out a bank card from the car and handed it to Ding Xiao. Ding Xiao stared at the bank card in Lu Yuanhao's hand for a moment, and smiled: "I didn't expect that this kind of movie would happen to me." Opening the car door and getting into the car, Ding Xiao looked straight ahead: "Let's send me to the company, everything that happened has happened, you must face it bravely." ”
The corners of Lu Yuanhao's mouth curled slightly, and he took back the card and sat in the car.
He drove Ding Xiao downstairs to the building, and after Ding Xiao got out of the car and walked into the building, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.
After the phone was dialed, Ding Xiao was approved to take half a month's vacation.
"Mr. Luo?" Ding Xiao wondered, thinking that Mr. Luo would change his way and want to quit her. After all, she has been absent-minded at work these days, and the audience has decreased by more than half. "Mr. Luo, I will definitely work hard."
"No, Ding Xiao. I see that your mental state has been too bad recently, not to mention work efficiency, even your body can't bear it. Mr. Luo helped his glasses and folded his hands on his belly full of stool. Didn't you always want to take time off work before? It just so happens that there are interns at NTU who can take over your work, so you can go back and rest first. After a pause, he remembered Lu Yuanhao's explanation just now, and added another sentence. It's okay, just let you go back and rest, and then come back to work when you are in a better state of mind. ”
Hearing this, Ding Xiao's hanging heart let go.
"Then thank you, Mr. Luo."
After Ding Xiao left, a shrewdness flashed in Mr. Luo's eyes, and he took out his mobile phone to call back and tell him that things had been arranged.
December 25th, today is Christmas.
Christmas is lit up at night, and the originally cold streets begin to be lively.
Many children are playing in the streets with Santa hats and jack-o-lanterns in their hands, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter days.
Ding Xiao walked aimlessly on the street, and the colorful lights on the street illuminated her a little dazzlingly.
The phone she kept in her pocket rang for an unfamiliar phone number. Picked up and answered, but no one spoke on the other side of the phone.
Ding Xiao thought it was a prank call, so he hung it up. After hanging up for a while, the number called again, and the result was the same as before.
She scolded at her phone a few times irritably, and then turned off her phone.
"You're chasing me, you're chasing me." Two children frolicked past Ding Zhong and accidentally knocked the bag in her hand to the ground.
Ding Xiao squatted down to pick up the bag, and at the moment she picked up the bag, she looked at the past from a squatting perspective, and saw a group of walking feet standing in the distance. The toes were facing hers, motionless.
Ding Xiao stared at the pair of toes and looked up, and found a man in a black bread suit standing in the distance, and the man was wearing a hat. Since he was standing with a backlight, Ding Xiao couldn't see his appearance.
Although he couldn't see it, Ding Xiao couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
In the depths of her memory, on the night of the rainy day, the murderer she saw was also of this height......
Terrified......
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the surrounding sounds were silenced all at once. Her mind was confused, and she didn't know what to do next.
Do you rush over and grab him by the collar to ask about her sister's whereabouts, or run?
Ding Xiao thought as he put his hand into his pocket and touched the mobile phone that had just been turned off.
She turned on her phone in her pocket and tried to dial 110 blindly.
However, before she could call the police, the toes were gone. Ding Xiao quickly stood up and searched left and right, but he didn't find it.
"Hey, this is the Fancheng Public Security Bureau-" A female voice came from the other end of the phone, and Ding Xiao lowered his head and looked at the phone screen. She was about to hold her phone to her ear when a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
She stiffened.
"Ding Xiao, it's really you!" Yin Tian's voice came from behind, "I saw you from afar, I thought you should be at work, but I really felt that my back looked like you, so I came over to take a look." I didn't expect it to be you, what are you doing here? ”
“……”
Ding Xiao was taken by Yin Tian to the hot pot restaurant she opened. Yin Tian opened a table of spicy hot pot and brought a table of ingredients. "I haven't had time to ask you in the morning, what's going on?"
Ding Xiao told the story from beginning to end, and Yin Tian was very surprised after hearing it. "Why didn't you call the police earlier, if you called the police that night, maybe the murderer would have been caught!"
