Chapter Twenty-Four: The Chill
Two minutes later.
When the morning self-study bell rang, he shouted a report at the door of the class unhurriedly, and then pushed the door open.
For some reason, the head teacher has not yet entered the class today. Zhang Yichi followed behind Mo Yi, and the two returned to their seats.
"It's really terrifying on time......" Returning to his seat, Zhang Yichi said in a low voice.
"If you calculate it in advance, you can make the most of every second." Unpredictable.
Zhang Yichi remembered that the unpredictable movie happened to finish playing after he washed up, and couldn't help but be speechless.
"Well, I'll go to sleep first, if the police come, remember to wake me up, I'll meet him if I have the chance." After the unpredictable advice, he fell asleep on the table.
Mo Tu fell asleep according to his own schedule, Zhang Yichi was about to flip through the book casually to pass the time, and the head teacher happened to walk in.
Today is the third day of Lu Tao's disappearance for the head teacher and the vast majority of people, her expression was solemn on the first day, and she was more curious on the second day, but today, Zhang Yichi can't figure out anything.
The class began to study in the morning, and the homeroom teacher walked between the desks and supervised each student. When he walked to Zhang Yichi's side, he still mentioned it in passing: "Is there any news for Lu Tao?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Yichi shook his head, and then asked rhetorically, "What about the police?" ”
He asked this as if he wanted to know about Lu Tao's situation, but in fact, he was trying to touch the progress of the police from the head teacher's side.
"Officer Li, he went to Lu Tao's house early this morning, planning to see Lu Tao's mother, maybe he will find anything." The head teacher sighed, "It's been three days, and it's time to have enough fun when you go out to play, it's really not worry-free." ”
"Yes, but he should also be measured, and when he can't mix it up alone, he will naturally come back." Zhang Yichi said.
"Well, that's it for now, you study hard." The head teacher skimmed over him.
Zhang Yichi pretended to pick up the book.
The head teacher glanced back, and his impression of Zhang Yichi changed slightly, Zhang Yichi was basically late every time in the past, and when he came to the class, he took out his mobile phone to play games, and it was very good to be quiet. As for reading, it's as incredible as the sun coming out in the west.
Flipping through the book, Zhang Yichi's mind was not on it, he put the book up and covered his face, and then his already expressionless face became even more cold: "The police went to Lu Tao's house." ”
"It's to investigate your business." Mo Ji closed his eyes and said, looking at his appearance, if he didn't understand the situation, he thought he was talking in a dream.
Zhang Yichi turned his head to look at Mo Yu: "What do you say?" ”
If he still thinks that Lu Tao is running away from home, then he should go to Lu Tao's house, not go to Lu Tao's house to find his motive for running away from home. This kind of thing is useless now, and even if it is useful, it is not what he should do, whether it is a teacher or a psychiatrist, it is obviously much more suitable than him. Mo's mouth opened and closed slightly, and from a distance, it was impossible to see that the man, who was obviously asleep, was actually talking.
"What if the police are looking for Lu Tao's mother to see where Lu Tao might go?" Zhang Yichi suggested a possibility.
"First of all, this kind of thing can be made clear on the phone, there is no need to walk so far to his house. According to what you told me last night, Lu Tao has been determined to be missing in the Yonghe community, and there is no point in asking where else he might go. Therefore, if the police still think that Lu Tao is missing, they should now make every effort to find traces in the Yonghe community. "The unpredictable analysis is all right, and Zhang Yichi understands it thoroughly after listening.
Zhang Yichi held his left cheek with his left hand: "Yes, then what do you think the police are asking?" ”
"Who knows Lu Tao best in this world?"
"His mother."
"Well, that's the end of the analysis, I don't know the rest."
I thought that Mo Tu was going to solve his doubts again, but I didn't expect him to reply "I don't know", and then fell asleep without any psychological pressure.
Zhang Yichi rolled his eyes, set up the book, and fell into deep thought.
……
May 17, 8 a.m., Lu Tao's house
Li Xiangnian left the house at half past six, went to the bureau, had breakfast again, and then rushed to Lu Tao's house non-stop.
Lu Tao's home is in rows of bungalows, an old-fashioned residential area in a somewhat remote location. Because it is far away from the school, Lu Tao lives at a small dining table on weekdays, and only goes home once on weekends. But since finding out that his mother has cancer, Lu Tao has saved up to buy a bicycle and rides it back for an hour every night.
"Hello." Li Xiangnian was dressed in a police uniform, and although his temples were gray, he also looked capable because of his sophisticated atmosphere.
"Hello, excuse me... Is there any news from Lu Tao? Lu Tao's mother is a dark-skinned, short, and frail middle-aged woman, Lu Tao's disappearance in the past few days has made her unable to sleep, and when she saw the police, she asked directly about her child's situation.
Li Xiangnian pondered for a few seconds and changed his wording: "There are already eyebrows, you don't have to worry too much, such a big child will come back in a few days without money." ”
"The phone is also turned off, and I can't be contacted for a few days, so I don't have to worry." Lu Tao's mother turned around and walked into the house, and Li Xiangnian followed in.
"I'll find him as soon as I can." Li Xiangnian was addicted to smoking, but seeing Lu Tao's mother's weak appearance, he stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket again, "I'm here today to invite you to watch a few videos." ”
"Video?" Lu Tao's mother was a little puzzled.
Li Xiangnian didn't explain, but turned on his phone to find out the video and played: "Look at whether this person is Lu Tao." ”
At this time, the mobile phone screen was playing the person who went back side by side with Zhang Yichi on Friday.
Lu Tao's mother squinted her eyes and glanced at it, then said in an affirmative tone: "It's him." ”
Li Xiangnian changed to the surveillance video in the early hours of Sunday: "What about this? ”
A man in a school uniform and a peaked cap walked out of the unit door with his head bowed and strode out of the neighborhood with his hands in his pockets.
"This ......" may be because the clothes he is wearing are school uniforms, and the shoes and schoolbags are Lu Tao's, Lu Tao's mother is also difficult to distinguish for a while, and only after seeing the last video does she say, "This is not Xiao Tao." ”
"Where did you tell that he wasn't Lu Tao?" Li Xiangnian asked, and at the same time his heart stirred, and the feeling was difficult to describe in words. He has been silently hoping that this person is Lu Tao, if he is not, then the nature of this case will change one hundred and eighty degrees!
"I watched Xiao Tao grow up, of course I can see it." Lu Tao's mother said that she was very confident, and there was no uncertainty in her tone.
"Are you sure this isn't Lu Tao?"
"Sure."
"Think about it carefully, in the end, is it Lu Tao."
"Oops, it's definitely not Xiao Tao."
Li Xiangnian took a deep breath and closed the notebook where he planned to record something. He left Lu Tao's house and walked down the street, when a chill hit.
That person is not Lu Tao's words......
Li Xiangnian, who has many years of experience in handling cases, was full of disbelief in his eyes, and the truth that was extremely shocking to him and to everyone was gradually revealed......
