If I continue to follow my inference, Mao Xiankang's disappearance is not an escape, he is most likely trying to solve the problem at the root, and this root cause is the wishing box.

Based on the premise that my inferences are correct, then Mao Xiankang also knew that he had such a wishing box at home, and he had used it, and then he quarreled with his father because of the puppet, and even ran away from home, and the zuihou wishing box also fell into Mao Xiansheng's hands.

Is it true that Mao Xiankang fell out with his family because the family portrait asked him to engage in puppet-related work?

Perhaps the real reason for his falling out with his family was the wishing box.

The box is the treasure of the Mao family, and Mao Xiankang has always been aware of the existence of the box, and he also knows very well that the box can help people realize their wishes, only once the box misinterpreted his wishes and hurt people, he knew that the box was not a good thing.

So Mao Xiankang wanted to destroy the box, but his father disagreed, so the two quarreled because of this, and eventually caused Mao Xiankang to run away from home.

Later, for some unknown reasons, Mao Xiankang's memory of the box disappeared, perhaps because Mao Xiankang's father didn't want the secret of the box to be leaked, so he couldn't say what he wanted about the box. Regardless of the specific reason, Mao Xiankang must have forgotten all about the box, and he didn't remember that there was a living puppet at home to help them.

Before Mao Xiankang's father died, he handed over the puppet workshop to Mao Xiankang, but the box was given to Mao Xiansheng.

Mao Xiansheng knew the usefulness of the box, and he also knew that once he was blinded by the desire for profit, he might make a hurtful wish to the box, so he has always lived in a simple place and did not interact with people very much, so as to avoid the wishing box from misinterpreting his wishes.

Although Mao Xiansheng's wishes are all small things such as helping to make puppets, the accumulation of these small things over the years will eventually reach the upper limit, so the box finally took away Mao Xiansheng's soul and took his life, and then Li Xiang became the next owner of the box by chance.

Later, Chen Jiawen died, and Mao Xiankang went to the police station to confirm the situation, but unexpectedly saw the picture of the puppet killing, and the dusty memory was awakened all of a sudden.

Mao Xiankang remembered the wishing box, and knew that the culprit of everything was this box, so he disappeared, but he was not hiding, but frantically tracking down the whereabouts of the wishing box!

He's going to destroy the wishing box!

"Mao Xiankang is looking for the box. He may be in the cemetery, in the cemetery, digging his brother's grave, or in Li Xiang's house, or he may go back to the puppet workshop! I said three places to Qiao Wei in one breath.

"What about splitting up?"

"Well, I'll go back to Li Xiang and ask him to take me to his house, you say hello to the police, and let them help find it, it's more efficient." I said.

"Good!" Qiao Wei nodded in response, then turned around and ran back to the police station, and I quickly took a taxi back to the gift shop at the entrance of the community to find Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was still standing with the puppet at the door, I didn't get out of the car, I just beckoned him to come up, and then the two of us rushed to Li Xiang's house.

Li Xiang's hometown is in the countryside, he came to the city to work by himself after graduating from junior high school, and since he apprenticed with Mao Xiansheng, he has a lot more money, so he rented a house in the city to live by himself. Because he didn't have a roommate, the landlord rarely asked about the situation of the house, so even if Mao Xiankang went to look for him, he couldn't know at all.

Half an hour later, the two of us were sent to the downstairs of Li Xiang's house, the house he rented was in an old-style residential community, which had no gate and no security, and was a completely open community. I had a leg injury, and I still limped and didn't walk very easily, but despite this, I tried to keep up with Li Xiang as fast as I could.

Li Xiang's family lives on the fifth floor, there is no elevator in the building, I followed Li Xiang to climb to the fifth floor with great difficulty, and then Li Xiang also quickly ran to the door and took out the key to open the door.

"Door locks...... Broken! Li Xianggang exclaimed when he inserted the key into the door lock, and then he pushed the door in hard, and the door was directly pushed open.

The house was a mess, apparently overturned, and the people who were turning over the things were so mad and unorganized that everything in the house was thrown on the floor, like a garbage dump.

"Let's see if we lose anything important!" I said.

Li Xiang also hurriedly rummaged through the pile of rags in his house, and after a while, he also found out the passbook, bank cards and other things, and there was also a box with a thousand yuan in cash.

"The money is there, the TV and the laptop are also there, and the important and valuable things are not lost!" After confirming the contents of the house, Li Xiang immediately reported back to me.

In this way, it can't be wrong, Li Xiangjia was not robbed, everything was as I expected - it was Mao Xiankang who came to Li Xiangjia, and he came to find the box. If we hadn't found Li Xiang first, it is estimated that the box might have been obtained by Mao Xiankang now.

But guess right, guess right, but now Mao Xiankang is no longer at Li Xiang's house, and he must be found before twelve o'clock.

I also hurriedly called Qiao Wei to tell him about the situation on our side, and then asked him if there was any progress on his side.

Qiao Wei said that he is now in the puppet workshop with three policemen, and Mao Xiankang's whereabouts have not been found for the time being, and the police on the other side of the cemetery have also gone there, so far there seems to be no gain, and Mao Xiankang has not returned to his home.

Judging from the current situation, Mao Xiankang must be looking for a wishing box, he rummaged around Li Xiang's house and didn't find anything, and then he will definitely look for Li Xiang himself, if he can't find anyone, then the most likely choice he will make is to go back to Li Xiang's house and wait for the rabbit.

So I asked Qiao Wei to continue to follow the police, which can be regarded as putting an eye on the police to get first-hand information at any time, while I gave Mao Xiankang a defense at Li Xiang's house.

Qiao Wei asked me what to do if Mao Xiankang never appeared, I told him that if it really didn't work, he would use a trick of zuihou, I kept making a wish on the box when it was almost midnight, and let the box put Mao Xiankang's wife and children, before those puppets sent a text message saying that if Mao Xiankang didn't show up, they would do it at midnight, I estimated how to have a time difference of more than ten seconds, this time difference should be enough for me to make a wish to save people.

Of course, if Mao Xiankang can appear before midnight, it will be stronger than anything else.

Time is always the opposite of human wishes, it always moves slowly when you want it to go faster, and it moves fast when you want it to slow down. Li Xiang and I waited in the messy room, and before we knew it, two hours had passed.

It's nine o'clock, and the time left for me is only three hours, there is no news from Qiao Wei's side, and there is no movement on my side, maybe Mao Xiankang has other options? Maybe he really hid out of fear?

No, he must be looking for a box, I'm sure.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the door of Li Xiang's house, and my nerves immediately tensed. After two hours of waiting, it seemed that the harvest was finally about to be exchanged, and the door of the house slowly opened, and an ordinary-looking man dodged into the house from the outside--it was Mao Xiankang!

I saw Mao Xiankang with my own eyes.

Regardless of whether the wishing box helped me during the whole process, judging from the results, I met Mao Xiankang, and my wish should be considered fulfilled, and his wife and children are safe.

This really relieved me.

At the same time, Mao Xiankang also saw me, he was first taken aback, and then there was a look of fear in his eyes, he looked at me quickly, and looked behind me, as if looking for something else.

"Are you looking for a puppet?"

My question shook Mao Xiankang's whole body, and he took a step back, and one of his feet had already retreated out of the door.

"The box in your hand?" Mao Xiankang asked back.

"Here I am." I responded as I took the wishing box out of my pocket.

The moment I took out the box, Mao Xiankang suddenly let out a roar like crazy, and then pounced on me.

I could only deal with it with a straight punch......
