In the eyes of many people, Tang Tao is undoubtedly a model of a successful man, he has long worn an elegant suit, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, kind and humorous, bought a house in Qingzhou at the age of 30, and also has a private psychological studio, and he is also a special consultant of the Qingzhou City Criminal Police Team, assisting the police to solve many major cases.

As usual, Tang Tao arrived at the studio early and started the day's work.

At this time, Tang Tao's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a netizen named Zheng Long, this person Tang Tao had no impression, he had been adding him for a long time, but he had never said a word.

"How's it going with what I've asked you to do? Pick up the video. ”

Thing? What's the matter?

Tang Tao was a little confused, he didn't know how long he hadn't been in contact with this person, so how could he talk about anything.

Without waiting for Tang Tao to reply, the other party directly initiated a video call, Tang Tao cleared his throat and still accepted the other party's video.

The other party seems to have deliberately blocked the camera, and he couldn't see anything in the dark, Tang Tao was not surprised by this situation, he had come into contact with a lot of psychological patients, many of them were resistant, and even more did not believe that they were sick at all.

Tang Tao showed a gentle smile and took the initiative to greet the other party.

"Hey, hello, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"It's not you who help me, it's me who helps you." An old voice came from the other side of the phone, a little hoarse, and it seemed to be an old man.

Tang Tao was stunned and smiled.

"Well, it's you who help me, so what can you help me?"

"Do you remember Xia Yuqing?"

Xia Yuqing, Tang Tao's ex-girlfriend, Xia Yuqing accidentally disappeared after attending a classmate's birthday party two years ago, and Tang Tao has been looking for Xia Yuqing's whereabouts for the past two years.

At that time, I knew that this matter was on TV, and many people knew about it.

"You know, what's wrong?"

"It's her birthday in three days, right? It's a pity, such a beautiful girl is gone, don't you want to know her whereabouts? ”

Zheng Long's language was obviously tinged with irony, as if it was deliberately trying to provoke Tang Tao.

Although Tang Tao didn't believe the other party's words, he still couldn't suppress that impulse, it was like a fire that had never been extinguished, the other party's words were undoubtedly pouring a bucket of gasoline on the flame, although his expression did not change, but the fingers holding the pen trembled obviously.

Tang Tao took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I don't want to say anything, I just want to help you, her height should be one meter six five, baby face, ball head, she likes to eat all kinds of fruits, her favorite color is blue, oh, by the way, her most precious thing should be the amber ring you gave her on her 23rd birthday, the bottom of the ring is engraved with the letters T and X representing your surname, Doctor Tang, are you right?"

Zheng Long said a good thing about Xia Yuqing, Tang Tao was very surprised, who is this person, how can he know so many things? Especially the matter of amber, this is the secret between him and Xia Yuqing, how can there be a third person who knows?

"What the hell do you want?" Tang Tao's smile disappeared.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

There was a dry laugh on the other side of the video, and the sound was like that of a withered old man hiding in the dark, which made people's hairs stand on end.

"I said I'm here to help you, if you want to know, go to the second floor of the public toilet in front of the building now, of course you can also be a crazy person, just as if I didn't say anything, remember, don't hang the video."

Tang Tao hesitated for three seconds but stood up, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up, he held his mobile phone and quickly went downstairs.

The public toilet is dozens of meters away from the building, the first floor of the public toilet is the toilet, the second floor is the cleaner's utility room, push the door and enter a musty smell suddenly the surface of the shop is two, the house is full of stinky brooms, mops and trolleys, and some broken tarpaulins for sheltering from the rain.

"I've arrived." Tang Tao said.

"Very good, there is a black bag behind the door for you to hold, the next step is to go to Moon Lake, enter through the south gate, of course, you can not go, if you don't go, you don't want to know Xia Yuqing's whereabouts, by the way, she was wearing a long purple dress that night, and you hugged under the plane tree when you went out, right?"

Zheng Long deliberately hung Tang Tao's appetite, and did not say everything at once, his words made Tang Tao vigilant again, Xia Yuqing was indeed wearing a purple dress that day, many people know about this matter, when the two of them came out of the house and walked to the door of the community before stopping, before the taxi Xia Yuqing turned around and hugged Tang Tao, how did the other party know about this kind of private matter?

"Who the hell are you? Why do you know this? Tang Tao lowered his voice and couldn't help clenching his fists.

Although he doesn't know what the other party's real purpose is, it is certain that he must know something inside.

The low, hoarse smile rang out again.

"Hey, hey, want to know? If you want to know, do as I say, don't play any tricks, as long as you leave my sight then the game is over, you go to the bridge of Moon Lake now, remember, enter through the south gate. ”

Tang Tao picked up the bag and looked at it, it was a shopping bag that had been used for a long time, the words on it were smoothed, exuding a strange smell, and the bag contained a black T-shirt and a pair of jeans, as well as a pair of leather shoes.

What the hell is this man trying to do?

"You only have ten minutes." Zheng Long said.

Time waits for no one, and it is too late to take a closer look at Tang Tao and set off in a hurry, this time he wants to see what tricks the other party can play.

Tang Tao always felt that something was wrong, he opened the bag again while driving, and carefully examined it, this time he made a new discovery, he found a pair of boxers that smelled of urine.

In addition, there was nothing else in the bag, Tang Tao was a little speechless, this suit must have been worn by someone else, and it was a man, he felt more and more that Zheng Long had a psychological disorder.

Tang Tao tried to communicate with Zheng Long, but Zheng Long did not respond, and it was still dark on the other side of the video.

At this time, a woman appeared in front of her, she waved her hand to signal Tang Tao to stop, and a white locomotive was parked beside her.

Tang Tao had to stop with one foot.

The woman ran over with a small bag on her back, wearing ultra-short jeans, and wearing a ponytail with an anxious face.

"Hello, can you do me a favor if my car breaks down?" The girl looked at Tang Tao expectantly.

"Can't!"

Tang Tao bluntly rejected the girl, he is now in a hurry to go to Moon Lake, how can he have time to help.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and smiled to reveal a pitiful look.

"My phone is out of battery, can I borrow my phone to make a call?" It won't delay you much, just a phone call. ”

"No, you can't."

After saying that, Tang Tao was about to leave, and the woman took a step forward to stop Tang Tao again.

"Hey, why are you like this, you're still not a man?"

Tang Tao hooked his hand and motioned for the girl to come over, and the girl hurriedly ran over.

"I knew you were a good person, thank you so much." The woman smiled happily, thinking that Tang Tao was going to help her.

However, she was greeted by a cold word.

"I'm sorry, I'm not."

Tang Tao stepped on the accelerator and the Wrangler rushed out in an instant, and the girl in the rearview mirror jumped straight to her feet with a look of disdain.

It didn't take long for Tang Tao to rush to Moon Lake and walk in from the south gate with a bag.

Moon Lake is located in the wetland park of Qingzhou, which is a natural lake connected to the sea, and the vegetation in the park is quite dense, and the location of the south gate is undoubtedly the most dense vegetation.

Tang Tao walked to the bridge by the sea and stopped according to the other party's request.

"I've arrived, what now?"

"Drop the bag down."

Tang Tao took a look, his location was twenty-three meters high from the sea, under the bridge was a large sparse mangrove forest, at this moment the sea water ebbed tide to reveal a large area of sand, although he did not understand the other party's intentions Tang Tao still complied.

"Very well, then you go back now, the clue you want is in the manhole near your studio."

"Wait ......"

Tang Tao's words were not finished, and the video had already hung up.

At this moment, it seemed that the whole world was quiet, the salty sea breeze lifted Tang Tao's long hair, he lifted his glasses and took a deep breath, this breath seemed to be held for a long, long time, thinking back to what happened just now, he was very confused, this person wanted to run so far by himself just to lose a piece of clothing, this is too strange, right?

Since he had long since hidden the clues at his doorstep. Is it necessary to do more?

How does this feel like a farce?

Tang Tao rushed back to the studio as fast as possible, the manhole was under a tree next to the studio, and a red plastic bag was placed inside the manhole cover, Tang Tao took the bag back to the studio and closed the door.

There was only one thing in the bag, an almost brand new iPhone.

The phone has no screensaver, no SIM card, no phone in the address book, and the call history is deleted very cleanly, and what's even stranger is that there is no chat software such as WeChat, but fortunately, there are still a lot of photos in the album.

But who is this man?

What does he have to do with Xia Yuqing's disappearance?
