Chapter 23: Footprints

Xu Dazhi said in astonishment: "Don't make trouble, okay?" ”

"I didn't mess with you, I saw Lily in the hospital." Bai Shuang said.

Xu Dazhi suddenly felt a little stunned. This Lily is Bai Shuang's ex-girlfriend. At that time, he disliked Bai Shuang and had no interest, and a man from other places couldn't afford to buy a house or drive a car with that dead salary, and he had no future at all, so he was a pure waste of time and youth, so he proposed to break up. This incident hit Bai Shuang very hard, making him very depressed for a while, and his personality was also a lot dull.

I really didn't expect that he actually saw his ex-girlfriend again in a mental hospital.

Although Xu Dazhi couldn't figure out what was going on, and Bai Shuang didn't say much, it is conceivable that it is impossible for old lovers to meet without sparks.

"It's a call from Bai Shuang." Xu Dazhi said.

"He's exposed?" Liu Yang asked.

"Probably so." Xu Dazhi didn't know the inside story.

Liu Yang didn't say much: "I'm going to the New Science and Technology Building now, will you go too?" ”

Xu Dazhi said that he went to Bai Shuang to make sure he was okay. Then I went to the hospital to see my son.

Liu Yang nodded: "I have the phone number, let's call when the time comes, I'll go over there to investigate." ”

The two went out of Li Damin's house, did not stay, and directly broke up and went their separate ways.

Xu Dazhi first went to the psychiatric hospital and met Bai Shuang in the security room. Bai Shuang drank the water calmly, and a person who looked like a director seemed to have just finished saying something, and his chest was so angry that his chest rose and fell. Next to him, a girl in a ponytail and a nurse's uniform was trying to persuade him. The director patted the table and said, "Look at him like that, do you know how to repent?" Just privately release a mentally ill person into society, once something happens, who will be responsible? So an adult, why are you so irresponsible. Which unit do you have? ”

Xu Dazhi knows this nurse girl, she is Bai Shuang's ex-girlfriend Lily. Lily persuaded a few more words, and the director looked at his watch: "I don't have time to talk to him." You tell him to promise that you have to get them back tomorrow, or I'll report the crime. Do it at your own discretion. ”

After the director finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.

Xu Dazhi and Lily had only met once, and they didn't have a deep relationship, so he nodded at the girl. Lily looked at Bai Shuang, sighed and said, "Brother Xu, look at his decadent appearance, alas. She didn't say much, just said hello to the security guard, don't be embarrassed for him.

Xu Dazhi led Bai Shuang and wrote a letter of guarantee, and then came out of the hospital. Bai Shuang's clothes let Liu Yang change away, and he was still wearing a hospital gown, and Lily borrowed a set of boys' clothes for him to change out of.

Bai Shuang didn't take the clothes, and said coldly to Lily, it was dirty. Lily's face changed suddenly, and she ran away crying. Xu Dazhi was stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect things to develop to this point. Bai Shuang's ex-girlfriend was transferred to work in this hospital, and it happened that the two could meet.

Xu Dazhi went to the stall outside to buy a few clothes and pants and asked Bai Shuang to change them into. The two walked out of the hospital, Bai Shuang was slumped, Xu Dazhi saw that he was not energetic, so he said: "Don't take what Director Bird said to heart, you listen to him blowing there, and call the police." Let the hospital and Liu Yang and his family slowly have a war of words. Don't worry, if something happens, you will push it on me, this is a bird thing. ”

Bai Shuang stuck in his trouser pocket as if he didn't hear it, and suddenly he raised his head and asked, "Liu Yang is not with you?" ”

Xu Dazhi was stunned for a moment: "He went to do something else." I'll pick you up first, then go to the hospital to see Xiao Lei, and meet him in the afternoon. ”

"Take me with you." Bai Shuang said.

Xu Dazhi sighed, looking at Bai Shuang's appearance, he seemed to have something on his mind. He didn't ask much, in order to reassure Bai Shuang, he told him and Liu Yang about the exploration of Li Damin's house.

Bai Shuang listened very carefully, and when she finished listening, she had already arrived at the Third Hospital of the city.

The two were about to go up, when Bai Shuang suddenly said: "You raised a question at the time, saying that Li Damin designed all this like a puzzle game. Liu Yang said that Li Damin encrypted his whereabouts in a form very similar to Sun Ami's encryption of his own manuscripts. ”

"Yes. What's wrong?" Xu Dazhi asked.

Bai Shuang shook his head and didn't say anything. He had a vague idea of something else, and he saw the manuscript that Liu Yang had hidden under his pillow. Liu Yang wrote some small details in it, as if guiding him to see the future. He felt that Liu Yang was a mysterious person, able to weave the future like laying out the plot of a novel. And now Li Damin's disappearance, one link after another, looks particularly like a deliberately woven plot.

Could this have something to do with Liu Yang?

It seems that all this can only be known when I see Liu Yang.

Bai Shuang was suddenly stunned, if Liu Yang could really design the future, would he have foreseen me to question? Thus making up a plot so that I will never find him.

Thinking about himself with a wry smile, how is this possible, no matter how mysterious things are, they will never reach this point.

Xu Dazhi looked at Bai Shuang worriedly. Since he got out of the hospital, he has been like losing his soul, hasn't he seen his ex-girlfriend, this is not productive.

The two of them had their own thoughts and went to the ward. Xu Dazhi's ex-wife was sitting on the edge of the bed peeling apples, and Xu Lei was sitting on the bed playing with toys.

"Good son." Xu Dazhi came over and picked him up and carried him in the air.

Xu Lei giggled.

The ex-wife and Bai Shuang nodded and said politely. Xu Dazhi said: "Everyone hasn't eaten, let's go, let's go, I'll please." ”

His ex-wife obviously didn't want to see him, so she politely said no.

At this time, Bai Shuang saw something hanging on Xu Lei's bedside. When I walked over and looked closely, it turned out to be a yellow charm.

When Xu Dazhi saw it, his eyes widened: "This is sent by Master Xie, right?" ”

The ex-wife shook her head and said, "That bald head? Not him. It was sent by a very handsome girl. She said that she was the sister who untied the bell, and the unraveling entrusted her to send a talisman to the child to calm the nerves and ward off evil spirits. I thought that even if it didn't work, I would ask for good luck, so I put the talisman on it. ”

Xu Dazhi sighed: "Master Xie is really good, it's just a one-sided relationship with us, you see that he can help." ”

"I think he's ashamed." Bai Shuang sneered.

"How do you say something like that?" Xu Dazhi was dissatisfied: "What are people ashamed of?!" ”

Bai Shuang said: "When we were at his house, we asked him why you didn't take care of these things in Xu Tong's house. He gave an example of throwing a fish casually, saying that he was detached, and if people don't offend me, I won't offend people. What is the result, Xu Tong's big case involves a lot of money, and the poison is huge, and I don't know what is implicated behind it, all because of his irresponsibility for a while! Now he regrets it and is desperately trying to make amends. ”

"It's a fucking crookedness." Xu Dazhi now defends the bell with a hundred guarantees: "People are not policemen, and they are not in their positions and do not seek politics, so why should they help?" Sun Wukong is not going to kill anywhere. I found that you don't know how to do it, and you don't know how to repay it. ”

Bai Shuang was in no mood to fight with him. He sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Xu Lei, and looked at the charm thoughtfully. Bai Shuang felt that he had fallen into a huge mysterious whirlpool, and what he had to do now was to get out in time. To bring Liu Yang's manuscript and hand it over to the editorial director, this is the first and foremost matter.

Xu Dazhi and Bai Shuang came out to have a simple meal, went back to the hospital for a while, and then took a taxi straight to the New Technology Building.

The new technology building was built at the junction of the commercial and residential areas. It doesn't fit in with the surrounding architecture, it's like an ugly and vulgar thing suddenly popping up in a peaceful street. Not only is it extremely ugly, but it also blocks light and wind on all sides. Originally, a group of beauties were bathing in the river pond, and the spring was gorgeous, but suddenly a Zhu Bajie, dressed in black hair, was vulgar, jumped into the river and began to scrub the bath. It's unappetizing.

The common people said that the head of the person who built this building was purely kicked by the donkey. But people just want to build, and you are a little ordinary person who has no tricks.

The building not only affects the surrounding environment, but also greatly disrupts traffic. Just for it, a few new roads were built in circles, and the drivers complained.

When the two arrived, it was already approaching evening, the cool breeze was blowing, many companies began to get off work, and the road was jammed.

Bai Shuang and Xu Dazhi stood at the door of the New Science and Technology Building, looking up at the spire above. Bai Shuang asked: "Do you estimate, which building around is the attic that appears in the video?" ”

Xu Dazhi carefully recalled that fragment, then looked around, and finally determined a direction.

It is a straight road that runs out to the west. You can see the far end of the road, and there is a faint community square. When the road reached the square, it split into forks, one left and one right.

Xu Dazhi gestured the distance, pointed to the square and said, "Let's go up there and have a look first." ”

The two got on the bus, which seemed to be quite far away, but in fact it was only two stops. After getting out of the car, we arrived in front of the square. At this time, the idlers who finished eating began to come out one after another to enjoy the coolness, and the square became lively.

Bai Shuang fanned the wind with her hand and said impatiently: "Are you mistaken? This is the square, there are no buildings at all, how can that little attic in the video appear here. ”

Xu Dazhi lit a cigarette: "Who told you that there is no building in the square." He snapped his finger.

I saw that in the shade of the green trees in the square, a red broken tower was erected. The tower has four floors, and at the top of the tower is a dusty red star. The tower looks old, dilapidated, no one has repaired it, the bricks and tiles are falling off, and it looks crumbling.

The two walked over and came to the tower. This tower is not rough, it is built with care, and there is a pedestal below, and a group of half-grown children are beating crazy around the tower.

The two walked on the pedestal, Bai Shuang was in a bad mood, scolded a few children, and ran away. They came to the gate of the tower, which was an iron fence with heavy locks. Looking through the gap in the fence, the first floor of the tower was filled with all kinds of rags, all thick with dust, as if it had not been opened for many years. Xu Dazhi suddenly discovered something, touched Bai Shuang with his elbow, and rushed into Nunu's mouth.

I saw that in front of the spiral staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor, there were many messy footprints.
