Chapter 824: A Gamble (Two Chapters in One)
Fang Ruohua walked slowly at the door of Qi Xiong's dormitory with a notebook.
He spends most of his time in the research institute, and often has a time when he eats and lives in the research institute, so he is naturally assigned a dormitory.
But in this dormitory, except for a bed, a bedding and pillows on the bed, a table, a lunch box on the table, a small lamp, a few books, a few stacks of manuscript paper, a small cabinet with a hot water kettle thrown at random in the cabinet, and a small sun, nothing else belonged to Qi Xiong.
Qi Xiong's other roommate got married, and he came home from work on time every day, and his colleagues who only occasionally stayed in the dormitory were still in the dormitory.
Everything has no value.
Fang Ruohua sighed, and contacted Xiao Mahua again, asking him to help open an internal program and call up the suicide forum to take a look.
The various bizarre remarks in it really make people feel very uncomfortable when they read it.
Looking at these things, I will only feel that the sky is about to fall, there is no hope in the world, and life is suffering.
Zhou Xiaoyu really went to this forum.
For more than a few months, she kept participating in various topics about suicide and telling her feelings about wanting to die.
There is no place in this world. ’
'Hope for the next life...... Don't be who you are anymore. ’
Today I was standing on the roof of our school and I wanted to go down, but the wind was so strong that I didn't dare. ’
I bought a knife. ’
'Does the arterial method of injecting air really work?' I was scared, I still didn't dare to try. ’
Fang Ruohua frowned, but almost ten days ago, Zhou Xiaoyu's speech became less and less.
After thinking about it, Fang Ruohua simply asked Professor Brown for a leave of absence, and decided to follow the route of Qi Xiong, Zhou Xiaoyu and their missing people.
She is concerned about this matter, not because of Yu Xiaoqing, and has nothing to do with Yu Xiaoqing at all.
Suicide is a great sin.
But if a person suddenly has a little suicidal thought, it is not a big deal, it is very likely that he will slowly adjust and adjust himself, so that this thought only exists as a thought.
Over time, the intense emotion passes, it may disappear, or it may persist, and at some point it will pop up after some stimulus, but it will not become a reality, or even let others know.
'Wanting' suicide is not a crime, all living beings are very ordinary, who can still have no hurdles, encountering bumps, and wanting to die is not a big deal.
But if you have to turn this idea into reality easily because of impulse, it's completely over.
If we all have the determination to die, what can we not do?
Qi Xiong disappeared on the road to liberation.
As for Zhou Xiaoyu...... After she left school, she went to an Internet café for three hours, got out of the Internet café, and went straight to the pedestrian street in Jingnan.
Fang Ruohua found a small yellow car, called up the map, and went to Jiefang Road first, and then to Pedestrian Street.
On the Liberation Road, there was a screening room for small movies hidden, and this kind of thing, which should have disappeared without a trace a long time ago, still exists?
Nowadays, there are still people who run into the dark screening room to sneak around and watch small movies?
A small shop selling jewelry, the so-called jewelry in it is wholesaled from a small wholesale market less than 30 meters away from the storefront, changed the packaging, hired a few people to process it a little, and the price increased tenfold.
There are also clothing stores, in addition to the high imitations of small workshops, there are also many second-hand clothes, which have been modified and labeled. Fortunately, the boss is quite disciplined, all washed, dried, and disinfected before starting to transform.
Fang Ruohua called again and reported two mahjong parlors that played with a lot of money and were already considered gambling.
There are a lot of things to do, and the gains seem to be not small, but what Fang Ruohua wants to know, there are no clues for the time being.
She never forced or was in a hurry for the ability to perceive before, and it was good to be able to perceive it, even if she didn't perceive it, even if she didn't have fate.
But this time was a little different, and she always felt that if the time was delayed for too long, it might still happen...... Decedent.
It's just useless to rush.
For two days in a row, Fang Ruohua spent all his patience searching for the whereabouts of those missing.
Check every street where they last appeared, check every intersection.
Not only her, but the police also spent a lot of energy, and Xiao Mahua didn't sleep well for several nights. In the huge capital, although the monitoring is strict, there are also all kinds of dead ends, and there are so many floating populations, it is not easy to find a needle in a haystack to fish out a few people!
Fang Ruohua sighed, his feet hurt a little when he walked, and it seemed to be sandy inside.
She was just trying to find a place to sit and pour the sand from her shoes when she heard a commotion behind her.
"Stop!"
As soon as Fang Ruohua turned around, he saw Tao Leng wearing high heels, running all the way, chasing after a young man who looked to be twenty-four or five years old.
The young man was very nimble and obviously very familiar with the environment of the scene, and without even looking, he jumped over the sewer without a manhole cover, only to accidentally knock down the sign.
Fang Ruohua grabbed a small can in his hand and threw it forward, throwing it very accurately under the young man's feet.
The bones were sluggish, the young man's feet slipped, and he slipped twice and finally fell to the ground, rolling two meters away and hitting the fountain, making Tao Leng cut his arm and pressed it to the ground.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
The young man grinned, "What are you doing, I called the police!" ”
Tao sneered: "I'm the policeman!" ”
As he spoke, he rummaged through his pockets and rummaged for a long time, but he found nothing but two packs of paper towels for meals.
"What about the wallet? Where is it? ”
The young man pushed two-five-six and frowned: "What do you say, what wallet?" Whose wallet do you say I took? Is there any evidence, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, the police are amazing, the police can beat people? ”
"You?"
Tao Leng was so angry that he almost slapped him, but Fang Ruohua hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and smiled to reassure: "Don't, our sister Tao Leng is a lady, we can't afford to deal with a little broken child." ”
As soon as he lowered his head, Fang Ruohua was startled when he saw this person's face, "Fang Xiaolei? ”
Young man: "......"
He tugged at his hat, his mouth crooked, "Ha, who are you?" What Fang Xiaolei, I recognized the wrong person! ”
Fang Ruohua's memory is actually a little vague, but looking at this person's reaction, he knows that he has not admitted his mistake.
Fang Xiaolei does not seem to be her own brother, but a child adopted by Fang Jing and Yu Xiaoqing after they got married.
I don't know where Fang Jing picked up this child, anyway, he went through the adoption procedures seriously, and it was on the Fang family's household registration book.
In the days when Fang Jing and Yu Xiaoqing's marriage existed, Yu Xiaoqing turned a blind eye to Fang Xiaolei, Fang Jing loved him very much, as a father, although he didn't talk much, he was often immersed in his own world and couldn't get out, but the bizarre relationship between father and son was not bad.
However, Fang Ruohua didn't have much affection for this younger brother at that time.
For a while, the neighbors and relatives suspected that Fang Xiaolei was Fang Jing's illegitimate son, and rumors had been spread for a while, in fact, Fang Jing and Fang Xiaolei were both the kind of thick eyebrows and big eyes, very upright and beautiful looks, if you look closely, you can't tell what is not like them, these rumors are really believed by many people.
The relationship between the sister and brother is not good, that is a normal thing.
Fang Xiaolei struggled hard, and when he couldn't get out, Tao Leng grabbed him, and his face was calm: "I didn't steal anything, and if I steal something, I have to pay attention to people and stolen goods, you can't just say what you say with white teeth!" ”
Tao Leng frowned and looked at Fang Ruohua.
Fang Ruohua also helped rummage through it, spread his hand and shook his head.
Tao cold-hearted snorted and pulled him to get up, and warned in a cold voice: "I can see it clearly...... You'd better be careful. ”
Fang Xiaolei pulled his arm back, moved it gently, pressed the muscles on his arm, and didn't say anything cruel, he secretly glanced at Fang Ruohua, drooped his head and turned to leave.
Tao was so angry that he still grabbed Fang Ruohua's shoulders, dragged her to the side of the road and asked for two ice creams, and ate them in a big gulp, and he didn't mind eating with a white beard all over his mouth.
"It's obvious that he stole something, but I was angry when I saw him steal an old lady's wallet just now."
Fang Ruohua chuckled: "This person is obviously a habitual thief, and the police feel very much, if you are eight feet away from him, he can smell it." And they must be committed by a gang, and they refuse to stay with them for a moment when they get their hands, and you are not a full-time anti-pickpocket, so it's normal that you can't catch them. ”
Tao Leng sighed: "I still have something to do, forget it, sooner or later I have to let these bad guys know that they are powerful." ”
She was really busy, and after saying a few words to Fang Ruohua, she hurried away again, thinking about the disappearance case, which brought her a lot of pressure.
Although it is only a case of disappearance, there are already people who have died, and I heard that several of the missing people are the sons and daughters of big people.
When Fang Ruohua chatted with Xiao Mahua yesterday, he heard him sigh and say that the daughter of Secretary Geng of the Municipal Party Committee was also gone.
That day, Secretary Geng went on a business trip for a week, and when he returned home, he couldn't find his daughter, he didn't care at the time, he just thought that the child went to the same school to do his homework, but when he waited until more than ten o'clock in the evening, the child still didn't come back, he sighed in his heart, and quickly called a few classmates who were more familiar with the child, and when he heard that no one was there, he immediately called the police.
According to the information investigated by the police, his daughter disappeared after voluntarily leaving the house, at least there was no trace of coercion in the monitor.
In this way, Secretary Geng's blood pressure rose to 200, and he collapsed on board.
His wife died early and later had a girlfriend, but she never got married, mainly because her daughter was very opposed to her father's remarriage.
The little girl is fifteen years old, her name is Geng Panpan, she is a very smart and clever girl, except that she is very reluctant to marry her father and others, there is really nothing wrong with her.
Heart-to-heart baby only daughter, how can you not love it? How easy can it be to work hard to raise to the age of fifteen?
Not only the daughter of Secretary Geng's family, but also many children are missing, just the police noticed that something was wrong, there were more than a dozen people, and when they didn't notice, how many people had accidents?
Fang Ruohua shook her head, washed her face, and continued to search, another half a day passed, noon passed, she didn't eat anything else except an ice cream for most of the day, and she was also hungry, there happened to be a rice noodle shop across the bridge on the side of the road, so she simply walked in and sat down and asked for a rice noodle to eat.
After adding three spoonfuls of chili peppers in one breath and swallowing two mouthfuls hotly, Fang Ruohua habitually observed the surroundings casually, looked around, and suddenly paused, and glanced at a woman dressed as a delivery boy sitting opposite from the corner of his eye.
The woman wore a very special jagged pendant on her wrist, as if it were made of wood.
Fang Ruohua was in a trance, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, picked up the bowl, and lowered his head to hide the strangeness on his face.
When she was just searching, she had a close contact with the pendant, and the picture that appeared in front of her was a little boy dressed in a sunny and cute way, carrying a backpack and a pendant on his wrist, walking through the mall, the square, and all corners, and his backpack was stuffed with money...... Not only money, but also mobile phones, watches, jewelry, etc.
Fang Ruohua: "......"
It seems that countless men, women and children, students, white-collar workers, and even the cleaners in the shopping mall have become great benevolent people, using all kinds of skillful, untraceable, and unclear skills to stuff money into that backpack.
Within a month, in addition to the female delivery man, this small pendant changed seven owners, including a postman, a cleaner, a plumber, and a security guard, and each owner returned with a full load, going out and bringing back a pile of money.
The money is loaded into backpacks, stuffed into garbage trucks, lockers, toilets, or casually still at the head of the bridge, around the corner of the park......
Its last owner was a plump, kind-eyed old man, who walked to the gate of an old community, and a man with his head down, wearing a mask, and wearing a fat sportswear pretended to be careless and threw a hundred-dollar bill under her feet.
What really caught Fang Ruohua's attention was the banknote, which seemed to have a line of SOS marks on it, and it was still red, as if it was stained with blood.
Fang Ruohua thought carefully about the little eyebrows that the mask man revealed.
"Qi Xiong?"
She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
According to the current situation, Qi Xiong is likely to have disappeared on his own initiative and has suicidal tendencies, if it is him, how can he ask for help from the outside world?
The most recent special picture that can be felt from the pendant is that the female delivery man in front of her took out the pendant from the envelope, put it on her hand, took out a sticky note and looked at it twice, and then went out into the door of the cross-bridge rice noodle shop.
Fang Ruohua drank the last mouthful of soup, picked up her mobile phone to check out, and passed by the female delivery person.
When she settled the bill and went out, the delivery lady fell asleep against the window in a daze, and the small pendant was already on her wrist.
Just take a gamble, bet on the organization where the female delivery person belongs, for the sake of safety, only recognize the token and not the person, and only contact through a fixed contact method, and do not know the true face of each other.
Fang Ruohua stood on the steps and glanced around, and he was seven or eight points sure of his idea.
At least on this street, there are no special people.
