Chapter 8: Disappearance
"Guozi, what are you doing? Shouldn't you take Mr. Chen to work today? Seeing that it's time to get off work at noon, what about the two of you? Liu Xishan asked on the other end of the phone: "I can't see the two of you in the company, Li Mingyu, that Wang Balamb, said that I must clean you up this time, and bring Mr. Chen over quickly." ”
"Got it." I replied hastily and ended the call, "Phew, that's a dog." I cursed to myself in my heart.
After coming out of Longfeng Community, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and according to the plan, I should pick up Chen Jingyao to work every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Under normal circumstances, if I was late, Chen Jingyao would definitely call me. But today, except for the phone call with Liu Xishan just now, I didn't receive any calls.
I picked up speed and drove towards the Bifeng Park community in the city center. Entering the community, I parked the car in front of Chen Jingyao's single-family villa, got out of the car, rang the doorbell, and no one responded. Taking out my mobile phone, I dialed Chen Jingyao's number, but no one answered. "Nothing will happen." I muttered to myself.
"Mr. Chen, are you at home?" I took a few steps back and shouted loudly into the villa. "Mr. Chen! ...... Mr. Chen! I shouted as I honked the horn of the car.
"Huh! Stop shouting. I looked in the direction of the voice, and a young man in a security uniform walked up to me, "Don't look at you, I got a complaint that you made too much noise outside and scared children to cry." The security guard said and pointed to the villa next door, where an old lady was standing at the second-floor window, looking at me hostilely.
I waved apologetically at the old lady, then looked at the security guard and asked, "Excuse me, I want to ask if the girl who lives in this building is at home?" ”
"Who are you?" After hearing my words, the security guard asked vigilantly.
"Ah, I'm his driver, I should have picked him up for work today, but I'm late. Just rang the doorbell, no one in the house responded, and no one answered her cell phone. I said.
"Miss Chen went out early this morning." The security guard said as he straightened the hat on his head.
"Out? Did she ever come back? "I was a little confused.
"No, and she left in a hurry, and when I greeted her in the morning, she ignored me. On a normal day, she would have voted for me with a beautiful smile. As he spoke, the security guard looked intoxicated.
"Does the property in the community record Miss Chen's other contact information?" I pressed on.
"I'll take a look...... No, only one, only 139 ********" The security guard took out the owner's roster from his pocket, flipped through it for a while, shook his head and said.
"Okay, thanks, excuse me." With that, I turned and opened the door.
"It's fine." The security guard saluted me and said, "Slow down." ”
Back in the car, fasten my seatbelt, I didn't start the car immediately, took out my mobile phone, and dialed Liu Xishan's number.
"Hey, Kuniko, where are you two going?" After Liu Xishan answered the phone, before I could speak, he asked anxiously, "I just saw Li Mingyu go to the personnel department, and I didn't hold back any good fart." ”
"Lao Liu, has Mr. Chen been to the company today?" I asked.
"Surely not, or I'd call you and ask what you're doing. We have previously revealed our intention to cooperate with an import company in country A, and the chairman of their company flew over today to discuss cooperation matters, and the result is that it is all over at this point, and Mr. Chen has not ......yet arrived."
"I didn't pick her up either." I interrupted Liu Xishan's words.
“...... Why didn't you say it earlier? Hearing my words, Liu Xishan was silent at first, and then lowered his voice and said, his tone becoming more urgent.
"It's a long story, but I'm late. When you just called me, I was on my way to her house. But the security guard at Bifeng Park told me that Mr. Chen went out early this morning and never came back. ”
"You must find Mr. Chen now, here in the company, I will help you pay attention to what Li Mingyu wants to do." Liu Xishan said: "As for the cooperation with the import company of country A, I think the chairman is quite patient now, and it is up to you whether this business can be negotiated or not." ”
Hanging up the phone, I was a little overwhelmed, K City is so big, let me go and find out a person, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if the police are called, the police will not open a case for investigation if the disappearance has not been more than 48 hours. "What to do." I kept my mind as clear as I could, thinking about where Chen Jingyao might go, until I saw the camera installed on the iron door of the villa next to me.
......
"I'm sorry." I turned the car around, caught up with the security guard who was talking to me before, and said, "Can you show me the surveillance at the entrance of your community, I want to know which direction Miss Chen is going, and now the company is in a hurry, I must find her." ”
"I can't be sure of your identity based on your words alone." The security guard shook his head and said, "I can't show you the surveillance records." ”
"So, this is my ID card, you take a picture of it, if something happens, I will be responsible." With that, I pulled my ID out of my wallet.
"Not really, sir." The security guard continued to insist.
"Is that enough?" I took out two more hundred dollars from my wallet and stuffed them into the security guard's pocket.
"This ......," the security guard hesitated.
I took out two more 100 yuan and put them in the security guard's hand, "This time it's okay." ”
"Then you come with me." The security guard looked left and right and whispered.
......
"Miss Chen, I went out this morning and turned right." In the security room, the young security guard called up the surveillance camera this morning, "It was about 6:32 to go out." ”
"Thank you, hard work." I patted the security guard on the shoulder, then took out an unopened pack of Huaxia cigarettes from my pocket and handed it to the security guard.
"Yo, that's embarrassing." Although he said this, the security guard couldn't wait to take the cigarette, "Go slowly!" ”
Driving out of the Bifeng Garden community, I drove in the direction where Chen Jingyao left. The time is close to half past ten, which means that it has been four hours since Chen Jingyao left Bifeng Garden, and I don't have much hope for finding Chen Jingyao through this clue.
But when I drove through two intersections, I saw Chen Jingyao not far in front of me, and I got into a taxi in a panic, and then the taxi turned around at the intersection in front of me. I followed all the way, and finally the taxi that Chen Jingyao was taking stopped at the entrance of Cheng Jin Building.
Looking at the back of Chen Jingyao walking into the building, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then dialed Liu Xishan's number: "Old Liu, Mr. Chen is coming to the company soon, and she is downstairs now." ”
