Chapter 11: Lies
I wanted to ask again, but suddenly a more important question came to mind, the ghost last time, this time the strange person came in casually without knowing what was going on.
I stopped Meng Yingjiu: "Wait a minute. Then I walked to the security door to see if there were any traces, but I didn't find anything unusual, I said to Meng Yingjiu: "But, how did they enter our house?" Shouldn't we change the locks? ”
"It's the balcony." Meng Yingjiu continued: "I have closed the balcony door. The emperor chess is on you, they don't dare to come close to you, you don't have to worry, go to sleep. ”
I gripped the little bead in my pocket, nodded, and went back to my room. Lying in bed, I looked at my phone, and it was only 1 o'clock in the morning. At the moment, I have a hundred thousand whys in my heart, where can I still sleep. Those people came in from the balcony? But we're on the 19th floor! Are those people Spider-Man?
Meng Yingjiu said that he wouldn't hurt me, and he wouldn't let them hurt me, what are these people doing? If they're not mysterious organizations like aliens, then they can't be some kind of criminal syndicate, right? Am I their hostage? Let's just say, why do you want to bring a drag oil bottle with you? However, hostages can be caught anywhere, so why use me to play a game of chess in advance? Is there something different about me that is of value to them? Or am I being taken by their boss? I patted my face, where did I think of it?
I tossed and turned in bed, wondering why I had fallen in love with a mysterious man of unknown origin. He is haunted every day, and he doesn't want to talk about his own affairs. To me? I shook my head, too, lukewarm.
If I want to find out who he is, then there is only one way to do it, and that is to follow him. Find out what he's doing, who's looking for. Looks like it's time to put my expertise to work. I made a plan in my mind, slowly calmed down, and before I knew it, I also fell asleep.
I woke up early in the morning and texted Xiao Zhang to tell him that I was going to the office late. After packing up, I opened the door and prepared to make a posture of opening the door, so that when Meng Yingjiu came out, he would feel that I had just gone out, and I was not waiting for him deliberately.
After I debugged it a few times, Meng Yingjiu's door opened, and he opened the door and said to me, "Is your door broken?" ”
No, I'm very quiet! Is this all visible? I could only hold on to it: "No! Are you going out? ”
"Yes." With that, he walked towards the door.
I'll go with it right away. "I'm going to work, too."
He didn't say anything, went out on his own, and pressed the elevator. I walked up to him after closing the door and asked casually, "What are you doing today?" ”
He just turned his head to look at me and didn't speak. It was embarrassing to be looked at by him, but fortunately the elevator came, and I hurried into the elevator. After the elevator door closed, Meng Yingjiu said, "I'll do my job." ”
"What is your job?"
"I've already said it."
Already said? How could I not be impressed at all? "But why don't I remember? When did you say that? “
Soon the elevator reached the first floor, the door opened, and Meng Yingjiu stretched out his hand to signal me to go out first. When he came out, he said, "You have so many things on your head that of course you can't remember. “
Why did Meng Yingjiu become the little prince of mending knives when he got up this morning? This sentence made me even more stunned, could he still read minds? Then my flowery intestines, and those evil thoughts, haven't he seen through a long time ago? Thinking of this, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I asked, "Don't you know how to read minds, do you?" "No, it won't."
I was relieved to hear his answer. I pressed on, "Then how do you say I'm thinking?" "Don't you have to go that way to work?" Meng Yingjiu looked behind me and said.
I didn't expect to get to the place of separation so quickly, and I smiled and said, "yes." I'm going over there, see you in the afternoon! With that, I turned around and pretended to go to work.
After walking a few steps, I turned around to see if Meng Yingjiu had left, but when I turned around, I saw that he was still looking at me in the same place. The morning sun was just right, and with his gentle gaze, I was in for a moment. His face turned red all at once. I hurriedly turned around and suppressed my excitement. I laughed secretly, and walked a few steps before I remembered my original mission: I still have to follow him!
I just wanted to turn around, but I was afraid that he would still be looking at me in case he hadn't left, so I continued to walk slowly, and when I saw the breakfast shop on the right, I turned around and went in, and after waiting for a few seconds, I poked my head out and found that he was gone. I hurried out.
ran to the intersection on his side, but he could no longer be seen. Why does it disappear so quickly every time? Is there any door? There is no bus stop here, so it seems that it is a taxi. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, the first tracking mission failed!
After regrouping, I came to the office. Xiao Zhang asked, "So early?" Don't you have something to do to come late? ”
I lazily replied, "It's done." Surprisingly fast. "Although I lost the first battle, I will not give up. I don't believe that every time I fail, I will always succeed.
Xiao Zhang changed his tone and asked, "Comrade Xiaolin, do you feel weird lately?" ”
I also learned his tone and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, I think you have always been weird. “
"Hey, I talk, you always don't like to listen, forget it."
I ignored him and continued to flip through the newspaper. I saw a piece of news: "Chongqing 211 geological team entered Jinyun Mountain again for investigation." It feels so cool. “
Xiao Zhang said: "It's not about making money. ”
I gave him a blank look and continued to look down. When I saw the photos of the members of the geological team, I began to look carefully at the people inside, I admired this kind of work very much, people who can do this kind of work in the wilderness, and the conditions are difficult, and the willpower of people who can do this kind of work is good.
I'm curious and adventurous. When I was in college, the media I most wanted to join was China National Geographic. Later, I found that I was not qualified enough, and after graduation, it was not easy to get my current job after several setbacks. Fortunately, journalists are exposed to different new things every day, and if I were asked to do the same thing over and over again every day, I would definitely go crazy. I'm getting used to it now, but I'm still looking forward to my dreams.
At this time, I saw a familiar person in the photo. "Hey, isn't this person the one who? That's weird, isn't it? ”
"Who?"
"It's his son who ran away from home, what's it called? Ah! I forgot. “
"What's so strange about that?"
"You don't know, that's not what he said to the police." I held up the newspaper and pointed out the man to Xiao Zhang, "He is obviously a member of the geological team, but he told us that he is a small business!" ”
Xiao Zhang disagreed: "Maybe people can't find their son, and they're very anxious, so they are wrong." "Why did he lie to us about one sentence? Could it be that his son is gone, and he has forgotten what he did, right? I wouldn't be wrong about my job in the face of the end of the world, not to mention that the geological team is not a shady job. Thinking of their strange eye contact before, the more I felt that there was a secret.
Xiao Zhang listened to my words and felt that something was not right. "If my son is gone, I won't forget that I was a hard journalist. Eh, did their son find it? "I'll give you a call and ask." After speaking, I dialed the phone number of Zou Zhou's father, Zou Juxin. Until the phone hung up, the other party did not answer.
Xiao Zhang asked curiously, "How is it?" “
I shook my head and said, "No." ”
"Maybe I'm looking for someone outside, so I didn't hear it."
I couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the family, so I said, "Just like him, even if someone else has news, they can't get to him." “
Xiao Zhang smiled: "Yes! Dare not answer our Miss Lin's call. There is a good feeling for him. ”
I called Zou Zhou's mother, Zhang Li, again, and this time she answered, and I motioned for Xiao Zhang to shut up. "Hey! Excuse me, are you Zou Zhou's mother, Sister Zhang? ”
"Well, yes, you are?" "Oh, I'm a reporter from Chongqing X newspaper yesterday, we met yesterday." "Oh! Reporter Lin, do you have any news over there? "Not yet, I called, just to ask if you found it?"
The other party's tone was obviously lost, "Not yet, Reporter Lin, if you have any news, you must tell me immediately!" "Well, of course, it's just that I called your husband just now, and he didn't answer." "Oh, he's looking outside, maybe he didn't hear it, just tell me if you have anything." "Well, okay, I'll let you know as soon as I have news here. If you find it, I hope you will tell me, so that everyone can rest assured. "Okay, Reporter Lin, you are also enthusiastic, good people will be rewarded." "It's my job, nothing. Then I won't delay you for now, and I'll contact you if you have something. "Okay."
Xiao Zhang immediately spoke: "Just said that you are busy, I didn't hear it." "You say, their family doesn't really have any secrets. When it came to his husband, she stammered. "Hey! Lin Min, you're just too sensitive. Besides, if there is anything really going on, it's also a private matter. "Aren't you curious? Isn't that like you? It turned out that where did Xiao Zhang, who broke the casserole and asked in the end, go? “
"Seriously, since my son was born, I really don't want to be nosy now, I can't keep myself busy."
I nodded and said, "Well, being a dad is really different." But I'm still young, the key is that their sons have run away from home, think about it, can this be a good runaway? "Isn't it said that there is too much pressure to study?" "I always felt that it wasn't that simple. Do you think we're going to take action? “
Xiao Zhang sighed and said, "Save it, it's illegal for you to do this." ”
I stood up and threw the newspaper at Xiao Zhang. "Are we doing less illegal things? Anyway, it's okay now, I'm going to get started. “
Xiao Zhang grabbed the newspaper and asked, "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to go to Zou Zhou's school, and then to the geological team, and see what is unspeakable."
"I know I can't stop you, so I can only wish you good luck." "Thank you! Wait! Watch me unveil this mystery for you. ”
I left the newspaper office and took a car to Zou Zhou's school, Chongqing A Middle School. Standing in front of the school gate, I realized that I was a little reckless, there was no way, I was such a person who said nothing, and I had arrived, and I couldn't back down. I thought about it in my heart and walked into the school.
Came to Zou Zhou's classroom, the third (3) class of high school. Seeing that they were taking the exam, Zou Zhou's father said that he had already taken the exam, why was he taking the exam again? But if you think about it, it seems that I was like this in my junior year of high school. We used to take the test once a week, no, it should be multiple times a week.
Through the window, I could see an empty desk in the last row of the classroom. It is full of books, and there are a few test papers on the books, which should be Zou Zhou's seat.
