The Peace Hotel, the banquet hall on the first floor, is like a small bar. The lights flickered incessantly, and the music came from the two speakers in the audience, echoing in the ears of the crowd, and many people danced along with it. Someone is dancing, someone is singing, someone is drunk and lying on the table.

No one noticed that there was one less person in the field. In an inconspicuous corner, Xia Qi looked indifferent, looking at everything in the field, her face pursed slightly. She sat on a high stool, her feet crossed, revealing her snow-white slender thighs. She lifted her glass, very elegant, like a self-pitying little woman, tasting wine alone. When the bright red wine in the glass flowed into the cherry sip, she tilted her head slightly, closing her eyes, as if savoring the taste of loneliness.

A cute short-haired girl sat beside her and patted her, Xia Qi was startled, opened her eyes, Su Xiaoying looked excited, and was dancing at her.

"What are you doing! Scared the hell out of me! Xia Qi's indifferent face instantly turned into a smile.

"I said, Xia Qi, it's so boring for you to drink here alone! Walk! Dance to go! Su Xiaoying said, ready to pull her, but suddenly seemed to find that something was missing, and exclaimed, "Huh? What about my Sister Chen Xi? ”

"She just said she was looking for you, what? Didn't you see her? Xia Qi said with a blank face.

"No! Hasn't she been with you all the time? Su Xiaoying said, took out her mobile phone, "No, I'll call her!" ”

Xia Qi looked panicked and hurriedly squeezed Su Xiaoying's hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Xiaoying wondered.

"Oh! It's nothing, Chen Xi is such a big person, there shouldn't be anything, don't worry! Besides, it's so noisy here, you can't hear her when you call her! She may have gone to the bathroom, and when she comes back, I told her to go find you, you go dance! A lot of people are waiting for you! Xia Qi immediately laughed, and pushed Su Xiaoying by the way.

"No! I'd better give her a call! Su Xiaoying turned out Chen Xi's mobile phone number.

"Ouch!" Xia Qi suddenly fell off the stool.

"It's okay, if you can't drink, drink less!" Su Xiaoying helped her to sit down.

Xia Qi grabbed her hand and sighed: "You and Chen Xi are really sisters, I really envy you." It's just that after today, it's hard to see each other again! ”

"What's this, just keep in touch!" Su Xiaoying said, letting go of Xia Qi's hand, "You take care of yourself, I'll go find a quiet place to call my sister!" ”

Seeing Su Xiaoying walking outside the door, Xia Qi's face suddenly changed, after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth, and was about to go out, but suddenly Su Xiaoying stopped and stared at her, Xia Qi couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and her face became pale.

"Haha! I knew it was okay! After a while, Su Xiaoying laughed, ran towards Xia Qi, and showed her her her mobile phone, "Look, Sister Chen Xi sent a text message, saying that someone came to look for her, she left first, and told me not to worry!" ”

Xia Qi looked at it, and there were a few lines of words on the mobile phone screen: Xiaoying, Zhiyuan came to pick me up, I couldn't find you just now, I'll go back first, don't worry, I'm fine! Have fun!

Seeing the text message, Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I'll just say, Chen Xi is so good, how can he leave you!" Now you can rest assured to play. ”

"Hmm!" Su Xiaoying became happy, "Sister Chen Xi is gone, and I'm going home too!" ”

"It's still early, can't you play alone without Chen Xi? There are so many students here! Xia Qi took her hand, very intimately.

"Not really! I'm afraid my parents are worried! Su Xiaoying smiled lightly and called her father, "Dad, I'm going back, come and pick me up!" ”

"Xia Qi, you sit down first, I'll say hello to my classmates, and I'll go back, I'll be in touch when I'm free!"

Seeing Su Xiaoying saying goodbye to her classmates one by one, it had been a long time, and she finally walked out of the banquet hall, Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness!

As soon as Su Xiaoying walked to the door of the Peace Hotel, she saw a taxi parked not far in front of her, and a middle-aged man came out of it, it was her father, Su Bancheng.

"Dad! You're here so soon! Su Xiaoying ran to Su Bancheng's side.

"Huh? Xiaoying, why are you alone, Xiaoxi's girl? Su Bancheng was shocked and asked.

"Sister Chen Xi! Gone with her boyfriend, so I'm alone! Su Xiaoying took Su Bancheng's arm and said coquettishly, "Let's go, let's go home, there are some cakes and fruits in it, I can't eat enough, I'm hungry!" ”

"You! If you have a big grin for a day, you will know how to eat! Su Bancheng smiled helplessly, and suddenly remembered what you had, "Huh? That's not right! Even if Xiaoxi leaves with her boyfriend, she won't leave you alone in the Peace Hotel, saying, what the hell is going on? ”

"She sent me a text, No!" Su Xiao handed him the phone.

"You mean that Chen Xi didn't greet you and disappeared?" Su Bancheng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart!

"What's wrong? Dad, don't scare me! What's wrong? Su Xiaoying looked at her father's face and asked eagerly.

"You!" Su Bancheng looked at the nerves, sighed, and said, "Did you call Xiaoxi?" ”

"Didn't fight. What's wrong? Su Xiaoying was puzzled.

"Then you should call her right now!" Su Bancheng's voice raised.

When Su Xiaoying heard this, she also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

"How's it going?" Su Bancheng watched her fight for a long time, but she didn't move, and asked anxiously.

"It's off! Dad, Sister Chen Xi won't be fine! Su Xiaoying began to worry.

"Maybe it's out of power!" Su Bancheng touched his chin and thought for a while, "Don't you have her boyfriend's phone?" Give him one. ”

"That's right! How did I not think of that? Su Xiao immediately called Wu Zhiyuan, but the phone was still turned off.

Peace Hotel, with brilliant lights! And in the dim light, two men stood there, silent for a while. The taxi was gone, only the wind kept blowing, but I didn't know where it was blowing. With a swipe, a van passed by the two of them, and the headlights flashed on their faces, illuminating the faces of their father and daughter, one pale and the other already teary-eyed.

In the van, there were four people, one person was driving, and there was also a person sitting in the passenger seat, both of them were holding cigarettes, talking and laughing, just like two dogs found two bones, they were very happy!

There were also two people sitting in the last row of seats, a petite and weak girl, and a young man with a bare upper body. The girl was unconscious, her mouth was sealed with a piece of duct tape, her hands behind her back, crossed behind her back, and ropes tied around her slender wrists. The young man was covered with tattoos, especially the dragon head on his chest, and he knew that it was even more hideous at this time!

"Boss! The girl is so tender! Do you want to give your brothers a try? The man in the passenger seat spoke.

"Yes! Boss, after a long time, you should give your brothers some extra money! Hey! The young man driving also laughed evilly.

"Drive your car well! Don't beat her mind, someone wants it! You can't touch it! After handing over this woman, after you are done, you miss the woman, go back to the hotel, you can play as much as you want! The man sitting in the back row full of tattoos said gloomily.

The van was speeding down the distant road, heading into the unknown darkness.

At this time, there was a green-skinned off-road vehicle, which was also driving at high speed in the dark, and it was less than ten kilometers away from Chengdu. The outline of this city is already looming.

"Xiao Wu, stop ahead!" The chief sitting in the back row patted Wu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, pointed to the place where the lights were still on not far from the roadside, and said, "Look, does this store have a mobile power supply, I see that you are in such a hurry!" Presumably worried about the girl's safety! ”

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly got out of the car and came back after a while.

"How? Have it? The chief then asked.

"Yes!" Wu Zhiyuan didn't say much, but he breathed a sigh of relief and plugged in his phone.

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, rest assured! It's okay! He said as he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Wu Zhiyuan, "Here is my contact information, if there is anything you need help with, as long as it does not violate the principles, I will do my best!" ”

"Thank you!" Wu Zhiyuan took it with both hands, then started the car and drove towards Chengdu!

At the door of the Peace Hotel, Su Xiaoying buried her head in Su Bancheng's chest, sobbing softly, her eyes that were once bright and moving, but her eyes were red at this time. Su Bancheng looked at his daughter like this and patted her on the back.

"Xiaoying, you don't have to worry too much about self-blame, maybe she is really there with her boyfriend." Su Bancheng comforted.

"But, but Brother Wu's phone can't get through!" Su Xiao raised his head and said worriedly.

"Looks like we're going to have to call the police!" Su Bancheng thought about it, let go of his daughter, and took out the phone.

"However, it will take 24 hours for a missing person to call the police!" Su Xiaoying was still worried.

"Hello? Director Zhao? Me, Old Sue! Su Bancheng waved his hand to Su Xiaoying, and he dialed Zhao Gang's phone.

"Ahh Lao Su, what's the matter? On the other end of the phone, Zhao Gang was a little surprised!

"That's right, my goddaughter is gone, it's in the Peace Hotel, can you take the time to come and have a look?"

"When did you not see you?"

"Just now, she came to attend the class reunion with my girl, and suddenly disappeared, and the phone couldn't get through, isn't this in a hurry?"

"Lao Su, you know, the missing person is less than twenty-four hours, it's ......"

"I know, Director Zhao, this kid's life is miserable! I just lost a loved one, if there is any mistake, this blow is fatal, in this way, you bring two people and ask, now these students are still here, do not file for processing, first have a general understanding of the situation, and sell my personal favor. Before Zhao Gang's words fell, Su Bancheng hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll come right over!" Zhao Gang was silent for a long time, but still agreed.

A short time later, a police car appeared in front of the Peace Hotel, and Zhao Gang came out of the car with two police officers, both of whom were dressed in civilian clothes. Seeing the comer, Su Bancheng's father and daughter greeted him.

"Say, what's going on?" Zhao Gang acted resolutely, and before Su Bancheng could say a few words, he asked as he walked. Su Bancheng's father and daughter followed him and walked towards the hotel.

"That's the case, my goddaughter Chen Xi ......"

"Chen Xi?" Zhao Gang stopped and frowned.

"Yes, my daughter and I were classmates." Su Bancheng accompanied the smiling face.

"Does she have a boyfriend named Wu Zhiyuan? Did you call him and ask if he was there? Zhao Gang said, and strode towards the hotel again.

"I did, but the two of them couldn't get through on the phone." It was Su Xiaoying who spoke.

"Who invited you to the meeting?"

"My classmate, Xia Qi!"

"When did you find out that Chen Xi was missing?"

"Not long ago, I couldn't find her when I danced."

"Who was she with before she disappeared?"

"Xia Qi!"

"Huh?" Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows.

"That's the ......," Su Xiaoying said what had gone through 1510.

A group of five people pushed open the door of the banquet hall. A strong smell of wine came to his nose, and when he looked up, he was drinking, dancing, singing, singing, and singing in the field, and he was not aware of the arrival of Zhao Gang and his party, except for a corner, Xia Qi saw the coming, his pupils contracted, and then he returned to an indifferent look, as if he was ignoring this, and drank by himself.

Zhao Gang raised his hand to the police officer behind him, and he immediately walked to the stage, turned off the music, and the venue suddenly fell silent. With a snap, the headlights on the ceiling lit up, and everyone present was finally seen clearly. In the crowd, you look at me, I look at you, all of a sudden, talking a lot, and making a lot of noise. After a while, they finally noticed that there were four people standing in the doorway, and there was a man on the stage, holding a microphone and preparing to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb your party! We are from the Public Security Bureau, I want to know something about you, there is no other meaning, just do some understanding, I hope you will cooperate! ”

After speaking, he nodded to Zhao Gang and walked off the stage. He walked out into the crowd with another police officer.

At this time, Xia Qi walked up to Su Xiaoying, held her hand affectionately, and asked inexplicably, "Xiaoying, what's the matter?"

"Are you Xia Qi?" Before Su Xiaoying could speak, Zhao Gang stared at her and asked.

"Yes!" Xia Qi looks honest.

"What is Chen Xi's relationship with you?" Zhao Gang stared at her and asked.

"Classmates!"

"Have you ever had a conflict in your daily life?"

"No, we have a good relationship, and there are no other entanglements, officer, are you interrogating me?" Xia Qi raised her head, without stage fright.

"No, the girl misunderstood, a brief understanding of the situation!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"Then you ask, I don't know what I say, I can't say enough!" Xia Qi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Who organized this banquet?"

"Everyone has discussed it together, and no one has organized it."

"So who's going to pay for it?"

"It's all together!"

"Do you know this?" Zhao Gang turned around and asked Su Xiaoying.

Su Xiaoying shook her head: "Sister Chen Xi and I just found out today."

"Did you tell them to come?" Zhao Gang then asked Xia Qi.

"Yes! In fact, this matter was discussed a month ago, didn't Chen Xi and Xiaoying say that they would go to Daliang Mountain? At that time, they were not there, and they did not have the opportunity to inform them until the end of the college entrance examination. ”

"Hmmm! When was the last time you saw Chen Xi? ”

"I can't remember the time, it shouldn't have been long, maybe two hours ago! She said to go find Xiaoying, and then she was gone. If Xiaoying hadn't asked, I wouldn't have known she was gone! What's wrong? What happened to Chen Xi? Did something happen to her? Xia Qi said worriedly.

"Nothing!" Zhao Gang looked at her deeply and shook his head.

Not long after, the two police officers walked up to him, Zhao Gang glanced around, and said, "Close!"

Walking to the door, Zhao Gang stopped and said to Su Bancheng: "Old Su, you go back first!" I'll let you know what's going on! ”

"Good! Great work! ”

When Su Bancheng's father and daughter arrived at the door, it was already nearly eleven o'clock in the evening. The two of them were a little anxious and a little tired, but the only thing they could do was wait.

"Gah!" A sharp brake sound came into the ears of the Su family's father and daughter, which was very harsh.

Following the sound, a green-skinned off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the community, and a young man walked out of the cab, he was holding a large duffel bag, his face was expressionless, and under the light of the street lamp, he could clearly see that there was a scar on his face, which was shocking! The young man waved at the body, and then there was a roar of the engine, and the off-road vehicle drove away.

"Brother Wu!" Su Xiaoying finally saw who it was, rushed towards Wu Zhiyuan, and threw herself into his arms all of a sudden.

"Xiaoying, what's wrong? What about you, Sister Chen Xi? Wu Zhiyuan saw that something was wrong with her, patted her on the back, and comforted.

"I lost Sister Chen Xi, woo woo!" Su Xiao finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.

"Chen Xi is gone......"

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the vast night sky, the brightest star in normal times, dimmed at this time......

Today is the National Memorial Day, and we mourn the 300,000 compatriots who died in the Nanjing Massacre! Remember the history and work hard!
