"Yangyang, is that you?" As soon as Qin Yang picked up the phone, Hao Lili asked anxiously!

"It's me, Director Hao, please speak!" Qin Yang put down the pen in his hand that was recording in his notebook.

"Yangyang, can you please do me a favor? I'm on a business trip to Japan right now, and I won't be able to come back for a while. Hao Lili's anxious tone was still anxious.

"Director Hao, what is the matter? I'm in the downtown area of Zunyi right now! ”

"That's right, can I invite you to my house tomorrow? … I haven't been able to reach my dad for almost a week! Hao Lili's voice changed suddenly, and Qin Yang knew that she must be crying!

"Sister Lili, don't worry, I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, I'll send the detailed address of my home to your SN right away."

Hanging up Hao Lili's phone, Qin Yang opened the laptop he carried with him and quickly logged in to his SN!

Hao Lili has already sent the detailed address of her home. Qin Yang immediately went to the Internet to inquire about the specific ride plan! She found out that it would take 5 hours to take a bus from where she currently is to Hao Lili's house!

Would it be faster to take a taxi yourself? However, the tips on the Internet are that the place is "far away", even if the taxi pays a high price, the driver may not necessarily go! Even if you go, it's not much faster than taking a bus. The most important point is that there is no guarantee of safety.

Qin Yang thought about it for a while, and finally decided to choose to take the bus safely!

Hao Lili told Qin Yang on SN that she had called her family's landline since last weekend and found that her father had not answered. After that, she called at least three or four times a day, and found that everyone still answered.

In the past few days, she has been wondering, where did her father go?

Hao Lili, who was helpless, had no choice but to call her aunt's house, but her aunt's mother-in-law said that she didn't know anything, and her aunt's family was now all working in Yiwu, Zhejiang! I haven't been home for more than half a year.

Asking is equivalent to asking in vain, and she didn't get any news from her father, so Hao Lili, who was so disappointed, had to hang up the phone after a few polite words with her aunt's mother-in-law!

Early the next morning, Qin Yang went directly to Hao Lili's house by car! Although Hao Lili's family is also in the county, it is really a mountain high road!

Qin Yang arrived at Hao Lili's door at about 2:40 in the afternoon! Considering that he went to see Hao Lili's father, Qin Yang also specially bought some gifts.

Hao Lili's family lives on the third floor of an old-fashioned building, the outside of the wall is not tiled, and the cement wall that has been whitished by the sun looks very old! As for how many floors there were in this building, Qin Yang didn't take a closer look.

After repeatedly checking the note with the detailed address of Hao Lili's house written on the slip of paper in his hand, Qin Yang kept standing at the door and knocking on the door!

However, Qin Yang knocked for more than 20 minutes, but there was no response inside.

At the same time, between knocking on the door, Qin Yang could still smell some vague smells coming from the house from time to time!

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Qin Yang's heart

Rise up.

Impossible, this place in Zunyi is already rainy. Coupled with this kind of old-fashioned house, it should be normal to have a little smell.

Half an hour later, Qin Yang finally lost her confidence, and she sat on the stairs in front of Hao Lili's house without any scruples.

At this time, an aunt who was shopping for vegetables walked downstairs with two lettuces from the bottom of the stairs.

"Auntie, may I ask if this is Hao Chenggong's home?" Hao Lili asked in Sichuan. Because she knows that the dialects of the three places in Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan are basically the same!

When dealing with people, it is actually very necessary to use words to get closer to people!

However, what Qin Yang is not clear about is that the company's promotion to Qin Yang as sales director in the southwest region is also one of the factors to consider.

"It's Diha, this is Hao Chenggong's house!" The aunt glanced at Qin Yang, who seemed strange in her eyes, and continued to take a step towards the stairs with the lettuce in her hand.

"Auntie, please wait!" Qin Yang once again stopped the aunt who was about to step up the next level!

"You girl, what's the matter?" Auntie seems to be in a hurry to go home and cook.

"Auntie, did you meet Uncle Hao Chenggong a long time ago?" Qin Yang asked.

"She, maybe only a week ago, I came back from grocery shopping, and I saw that he was so drunk that he couldn't even get the key, and I opened the door for him!"

"Auntie, haven't you seen him since?" Qin Yang continued to ask!

"Yes, I didn't pay attention, as soon as the door closes, everyone has their own way! Girl, are you a relative of his family? Care so much about him! Auntie's curiosity was suddenly aroused by Qin Yang.

"Hello Auntie, I'm not a relative of his, I'm a friend of his daughter Hao Lili, her daughter said that she couldn't contact him for several days, and he didn't answer the call to the house all night. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I came over to see it myself. I've been knocking on the door for half an hour! Qin Yang glanced at his aunt's face again with a helpless face.

Auntie's face suddenly changed: "I'm going home to cook!" With that, the aunt carried the lettuce up to the higher floors.

Qin Yang knocked on the door for a while and found that it was still fruitless! So, she had no choice but to call Hao Lili!

"Director Hao, it's okay to call you now, right?" Qin Yang asked.

"No problem, I'm here for a meeting, just in the middle of the break! The time difference between Japan and China is only one hour! By the way, did you come to my house? Have you contacted my dad? Through the receiver of the international phone, Qin Yang seemed to be able to feel Hao Lili's exhaustion.

Qin Yang told him on the phone about the door that he had reluctantly knocked on for half an hour and met the aunt upstairs.

The vague smell that he smelled at the beginning was still coming from the room, and Qin Yang didn't dare to breathe. The previous sense of foreboding was even stronger.

"Director Hao, what now? What time does he usually come home at night, uncle? Qin Yang asked.

"A few years ago, he was almost

Let's go home at five or six o'clock in the evening, I don't know now! Speaking of this, Hao Lili's voice suddenly lowered.

"By the way, he'll definitely come back for the night!" Hao Lili then added!

Qin Yang especially wanted to tell Hao Lili about the vague smell he smelled from time to time. But she thought about it, and finally chose to give up!

After all, the most taboo thing for people in the Southwest is talking about death and hinting about it.

……

Qin Yang, who had been guarding for half an afternoon, felt hungry and hungry. So, she decided to go downstairs and eat something first!

Eat downstairs when passing by the door! Qin Yang saw a man who seemed to be a doorman, about fifty years old, squatting on the ground and pinching leeks.

"Uncle, have you seen Uncle Hao Chenggong recently?"

"Which one are you? You don't seem to be a relative of his, do you? As soon as he saw Qin Yang's unfamiliar face, the doorman uncle became extremely vigilant!

Although he also knew that Hao Chenggong's life had been muddy over the years, and he was still delirious from time to time! His only daughter only came back for two or three days during the Chinese New Year.

"Yes, uncle, I'm not a good uncle's relatives are hungry, I'm a friend of her daughter! Come to Zunyi on a business trip, and come to see Uncle Hao by the way! ”

Listening to Qin Yang's explanation, the face that the doorman had just pulled down instantly became pleasant, "That's right, Xiaoli's dead girl, she only goes home once a year, I can't wait for her old man to come back to see her when she stinks at home!" After the uncle and Qin Yang complained, they squatted down and continued to pinch the leeks.

"Uncle, excuse me, did you see Uncle Hao a long time ago?" Seeing that the doorman had filtered out his most important questions, Qin Yang continued to ask.

"I think hazi, by the way, I was drunk almost a week ago one afternoon!" The uncle touched his forehead, looking accustomed to this scene.

"Does the good uncle often come home drunk?" Qin Yang asked!

"That's not it, this guy's life, since he beat his wife, his future has been buried in this horse urine soup (another name for wine by locals), very sad!" After saying that, the doorman uncle didn't forget to shake his head regretfully!

"You're saying you haven't seen Uncle Hao since you came back drunk about a week ago, right?" Qin Yang repeated the doorman's previous words.

"yes, that's pretty much it! But, you know, I'm full of people here! I can't keep an eye on everyone! At this time, the doorman's leeks were also finished, and he slowly stood up on the ground, as if his legs were a little numb. Walking is also a bit unsteady.

Qin Yang walked out of the door of the community, found a clean-looking beef and rice noodle shop on the street and sat in.

Qin Yang asked the boss for a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and beef rice noodles!

While eating, Qin Yang thought about where this Uncle Hao had gone? However, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

Qin Yang felt that there were at least two people who could now be sure that they had seen Uncle Hao come back drunk a week ago

The facts! Combined with the fact that when Qin Yang stood at the door of Hao Lili's house, he smelled the vague smell wafting out of the house. Qin Yang suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Originally, Qin Yang was already extremely hungry in the face of the rice noodles that he had just eaten half in the bowl, and he lost his appetite in an instant! So, she hurriedly checked out the rice noodle shop owner and walked out of the rice noodle shop!

Standing at the door of the rice noodle shop, Qin Yang dialed Hao Lili's phone again, which was far away in Japan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the phone rang for the first time, Hao Lili on the other side directly hummed the reject button.

Afterwards, Qin Yang learned that Hao Lili was organizing an important sales summary meeting in Japan at that time.

Seeing that Hao Lili didn't answer the phone, Qin Yang's heart rose to his throat. So, she had to concisely send a text message to Hao Lili about the conversation with the doorman at the door and all the smellless things she smelled while standing at the door.

After the text message was sent, it took a full three minutes for the message to be delivered, and Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what made her even more anxious was that after another five minutes, she still didn't receive a reply from Hao Lili!

Finally, Qin Yang, who was impatient, dialed the phone directly again again.
