May 16, seven o'clock in the morning

Li Xiangnian cleaned up his dead home, and when he came home late last night and saw the home exactly the same as four or five days ago, he couldn't help but sigh. His daughter hadn't been back for four or five days, and she didn't know where she had gone.

He thought to himself that he would retire when he was done with this time and care more about his children.

"Ahem!" Li Xiangnian, who coughed a few times while covering his lungs, still took his briefcase as usual, left home, and rushed to the hospital.

Originally, he took half a day off, which was more than enough time, but he had a new idea last night, and he couldn't wait to go to the school to find out. As for last night, after going out of Zhang Yichi's house, he went straight to Yonghe Community and called up the surveillance. Unfortunately, no trace of Lu Tao was found in the surveillance.

However, this does not mean that Lu Tao did not enter the Yonghe community, yesterday Zhang Yichi's words gave him a good direction of investigation, he planned to go to the school after going to the hospital to inquire, to see if Lu Tao has any friends living in the Yonghe community.

Of course, if you follow this idea, there are some things that don't make sense.

If Lu Tao went to live at a friend's house, then why didn't he stay at Zhang Yichi's house all the time? Wouldn't that be easier?

There were more and more mysteries in his heart, so Li Xiangnian stopped thinking about it and drove to a private hospital.

An old friend of his, who is the attending physician at the hospital, had already made an appointment to discuss the treatment plan today.

Because he was an acquaintance, there were no redundant formalities such as registration, so Li Xiangnian came directly to his friend's office.

"Yo, Lao Li, here, how is your health lately?" His friend, Cai Xun, who is the attending physician in this hospital, saw Li Xiangnian coming, stood up, and when he saw the bulge in Li Xiangnian's trouser pocket, his face changed, "You still smoke?" ”

"I can't quit in my life." Li Xiangnian originally wanted to put the cigarette in the car, but when he turned his head, he forgot about it.

"Can't be smoked!" Cai Xun said seriously, "Lung cancer, lung cancer!" You think it's a joke? Are you really not afraid of death? ”

In the face of his old friend's preaching, Li Xiangnian didn't say anything, just lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"If you continue like this, you really can't be saved, you know?" Cai Xun sat down and said angrily.

"I'm not going to get cured, it's tiring." Li Xiangnian raised his head and said.

"What? You're not going to be cured? Cai Xun was stunned, "Then why are you coming to me?" ”

"Is there anything ...... Well...... How so...... Conservative treatment ......" Li Xiangnian didn't know what to say.

Cai Xun was very angry by this friend who didn't value his life: "Conservative treatment? Crazy you, aren't you? There's still leeway--"

"What's the leeway?" Li Xiangnian laughed at himself, "I know my own body, if you want me to undergo chemotherapy or something, it's impossible." I don't want to spend the rest of my life lying on the operating table and suffering like that. ”

Cai Xun didn't know what to say.

"What do you say in your business? Call...... Palliative care, right? That's it. Li Xiangnian waved his hand.

"What about your daughter?" Cai Xun asked.

"Isn't there her aunt? Of course, I will definitely educate her well before entrusting her to others, and if I hand her over to others the way she is now, I don't feel at ease with anyone on either side. ”

Cai Xun stretched his hand out of his pocket: "Palliative care also requires chemotherapy." ”

"Then just bring me a bottle of painkillers." Li Xiangnian joked.

"You madman......"

May 16, 3 p.m

Zhang Yichi is in physics class, unpredictable...... Still sleeping.

Nothing happened to Zhang Yichi in the morning, and the police did not come to look for him. After returning home at noon, he remembered that Lu Tao's mobile phone had not been unlocked, and he already knew the password yesterday afternoon, but Li Xiangnian's sudden visit in the evening made him forget about it when he was nervous.

At noon, he untied Lu Tao's mobile phone with anticipation, and Zhang Yichi found that there were more than 100 missed calls, including teachers, students, and most of course, his mother. Entering the chat software, Zhang Yichi was a little disappointed, Lu Tao's friends in the chat software were pitiful, and there was no useful information. As for the album, most of it is a group photo of Lu Tao and his mother.

In the photo, his mother is a middle-aged woman with dark skin and thin skin. looked listless because of illness, but Rao was like this, and his mother tried her best to smile when she took a photo with Lu Tao.

Just as Zhang Yichi was thinking about the things in Lu Tao's mobile phone, the head teacher came in again, she whispered a few words to the physics teacher, and the physics teacher leaned aside.

"Excuse me, which of you is in the Yonghe community?" The head teacher asked.

Zhang Yichi realized that the police had come, and he didn't come to ask in person, probably because he didn't want the students to think that Lu Tao's disappearance was a big problem.

A few students raised their hands, and the head teacher called them out one by one for questioning.

If you make such a fuss, you won't be able to take the rest of the class.

At 3:10 a.m., class ended.

When the head teacher left, he beckoned to Zhang Yichi again, and Zhang Yichi walked out. After he got up, Mo Tu, who had been sleeping very well, followed Zhang Yichi to the door without paying attention.

"I heard that Officer Li went to your house yesterday at night?" Outside the class, the head teacher asked curiously.

"Yes." Zhang Yichi replied.

"What did he ask you?" The head teacher asked.

"Some information about Lu Tao, as well as a little opinion of mine." Zhang Yichi shrugged.

Just when the head teacher was about to ask something more.

The teacher in charge of the next class came over: "Eh, Lu Tao, go to the office and get the teaching--ah, I recognized the wrong person." ”

Li Xiangnian was also walking towards this side, and suddenly heard the biology teacher recognize Zhang Yichi as Lu Tao, the representative of the biology class, and suddenly a flash of inspiration brightened, and his originally lifeless eyes brightened.

"You recognized the wrong person, Lu Tao ran away from home." The head teacher grabbed the biology teacher and said.

"Ah, when?"

"Yesterday morning."

"I took a leave of absence yesterday, tell me what the hell is going on? Did the policeman I just meet in the office come here because of this? The biology teacher asked in a low voice.

Seeing the two teachers gossiping in a low voice, Zhang Yichi was a little impatient: "I'll go back to class first." ”

"Oh, you go back first." The head teacher nodded and spoke to the biology teacher again.

Zhang Yichi, who was returning to class, passed by Mo Ji who was leaning against the door, he glanced at Mo Tu, and he could already see that Mo Tu was eavesdropping on him talking to the head teacher, but he was a little surprised, Mo Tu's expression was solemn at the moment, and before he could say anything, Mo Tu had already walked out.
