He Ping held Jingjing's hand, like a couple visiting friends.

I saw a young man walking towards him, with headphones in his ears, shaking his arms and walking happily to the street beat of the music as he walked.

"Little brother, where is this location?" He Ping asked, pointing to the business card.

The young man took off his headphones, looked sideways, turned his head and pointed to the house around the corner and said, "That's it!" ”

"The one at the right corner of the crossroads?" He Ping looked in the direction that the young man was pointing.

"That's right." The young man replied.

"Thank you!" He Ping thanked.

"You're welcome!" The young man responded politely, put the earbuds in his ears again, and swayed forward to the street beat of the music.

When you come to the door of the house, the iron fence surrounds the front of the house, and the green fence gate has a yellow copper lock, symbolically telling the visitor that the owner is not at home.

He Ping picked up the key and found the one that matched the copper lock and stuffed it into the copper lock.

"He's been away from home for some time!" He Ping said.

Hearing He Ping say this, he also felt a little strange, and asked, "Didn't the security uncle say that he had only been on a business trip for the past two days?" ”

After He Ping opened the lock, he wiped the bottom of the lock with his fingers, rubbed his fingers back and forth, and said, "There is rust at the bottom of the copper lock, it should be right." ”

The copper lock is not made of all copper, there is iron at the bottom, and it will rust slightly when it encounters rain, of course, this will only happen when the owner does not open the lock and touch it for a long time.

The door opened, and the two of them entered and flooded the door slightly, leaving a width for one person to pass through.

The grass in the yard has begun to spread irregularly, the yard looks a little barren after a long time, and the flowers are a little desolate even though they bloom alone.

"You wait for me here, don't go in!" He Ping instructed.

"Good!" Jing Jing also realized that there were many doubts, she didn't believe that anything suspenseful would happen in the place where she lived, but what if there was?

She still followed He Ping's words, stood in the courtyard, and watched He Ping open the door and walk in.

He Ping walked into the door and picked up a chair next to the door to block the door to prevent the door from closing automatically.

"She will be more down-to-earth when she hears her voice quietly, and if something unexpected happens, she can evacuate quickly." He Ping thought to himself.

This house looks very ordinary, no different from the neighbors, but He Ping can sense the strangeness in the ordinary.

He Ping's fingers swept over the round dining table, and he raised his hand and twisted it with his fingers, as if he saw a fine dust.

In the hall, there was a gray cloth sofa with raised balls of thread on the gray cloth surface, as if it had been hooked by something sharp.

He Ping could tell at a glance that these raised balls of line were the masterpieces of Lord Meow.

There was nothing on the coffee table, the transparent glass was not bright, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for some days.

When I walked to the bathroom, there was facial cleanser, razor, and toothbrush and toothpaste diagonally stuck in a water cup in front of the desk. The ointment is still full but the middle part is concave, the toothbrush bristles are straight and not much different from the new ones, the toothbrush and toothpaste should have been bought back by colleagues, and it should not be counted too many times.

When He Ping saw the razor and facial cleanser, a question arose in his consciousness, "Is Founder on a business trip?"

Normally, if a person goes on a business trip, he will not bring some trivial things, and the razor and facial cleanser that he must use every day will be brought with him, whether it is in the car or staying overnight in a hotel.

Pushing open a bedroom door, the quilt lifted a corner, still the same as when I got up.

On the bedside table was a white table lamp, for He Ping, he didn't like to use it. Because the desk lamp will not take up enough space, if it is a personal habit, it is a different matter.

At the foot of the bed is a desk with a row of architectural books, rulers, pencils, and drawing tools, some inserted in the pen holder, and some scattered on the table.

An open book was spread flat on the desk, because the paper of the book was relatively large, and the paper did not close after opening it from the middle, and a book did not cause He Ping to pay special attention.

A photograph of two people is tucked between books, revealing only a third of it.

He Ping pulled it out, and when he saw the two people in the photo, his brows gradually tightened.

In the photo, the two looked at the camera and hugged each other and smiled and showed their white teeth, like friends for many years.

One person is slightly chubby and looks very simple and easy-going. The other person is He Ping.

If the other person is Fang Zhengye, why don't you have any impression of yourself and his photo, and the person in the photo doesn't know him at all, even if it's an impression at a glance.

Turning his wrist to see the back of the photo, "358" was written, He Pingwen stared at the number without moving, his brain spinning rapidly, thinking about the meaning of the number.

Suddenly remembered to come quietly, and hurriedly called "Jingjing!" ”

"Hey!" He Ping didn't come out of the house for so long, Jing Jing was a little anxious in his heart, and when he heard He Ping calling himself, he hurriedly responded.

"Come in." He Ping heard the quiet response, and said in his heart.

Quietly nodding his feet, his eyes looking around. Seeing He Ping in the bedroom, he walked over.

"Did you find anything?" Jing Jing asked.

"Mistress Meow hasn't been here for a long time, and I haven't found anything. Do you see if it's this person? He Ping handed the photo to Jing Jing.

Jing Jing took the photo and glanced at it, raised her head to look at He Ping in surprise, and said, "It's this person, it's just not as fat as in the photo, why do you have a photo with him?" ”

"I don't know, I don't remember at all!" He Ping shook his head and said.

Jing Jing was surprised, and the shock in He Ping's heart was stronger than Jing Jing's, and he wondered if he had memory loss.

"You're friends?" Jing Jing couldn't believe what was in front of her and asked again.

He Ping didn't answer immediately, but kept searching for memory fragments related to Fang Zhengye, and after a long time, there was still no result.

Unsure, he said, "I don't remember!" ”

Quietly looking at He Ping's face full of doubts, it seemed that he was even a little demented, and comforted, "Don't be too nervous, maybe you have forgotten it for too long, think about it slowly"

Flipping through the photo, I quietly saw the number "358" and asked, "What is this?" ”

"I was also thinking that he wouldn't write a set of numbers on a photo for no reason. He should be prompting something! He Ping said.

Quietly looking down at the book spread out on the table, 360 on the left and 361 on the right, when the book was turned to page 358, I saw a slight trace of the pencil in the gap between the lines.

"Look here!" Quietly pointed to the pencil marks on the page.

He Ping bent down and looked at the place where Jing Jing's finger pointed.

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. What did he mark out the poem for? He Ping found out that this was a collection of ancient poems.

Jing Jing was also puzzled by the appearance of this poem, how could a construction engineer be so interested in poetry.

"Is he referring to something?" Jing Jing asked.

"He's not referring to anything, he's telling us to stop this matter, he wants to track it down alone." He Ping said.

"Why don't you know he means that?" Jing Jing asked.

He Ping pointed to himself in the photo and said, "Do you see this dress?" I don't remember this man, but I remember the shirt I was wearing, which I bought when I was stationed here. In other words, I took a photo with him at that time, and if I guessed correctly, he should be a soldier, and as for why he became an engineer, I'm afraid I have to investigate. ”

Judging from the situation in the room, the supplies are messy and the clothes are hanging haphazardly. Even if you retire, the habits you develop in the army will not be easily changed.

He Ping vaguely remembered that a person once mentioned this poem, saying that the artistic conception of this poem is far-reaching and broad, and from another perspective, there is a fearless spirit. The voice seemed to echo in his ears, but there was no shadow of this person in his mind.

If he hadn't seen this poem, He Ping would probably have thought it was an illusion.

Jingjing's mobile phone rang, and it was Li Ping calling.

"Hey, Mom"

"Where have you been? Came back for dinner. Li Ping said as he held his mobile phone between his shoulders and stir-fried vegetables.

"Oh, let's go back, did my dad wake up?" Jing Jing asked.

"Your dad is still sleeping, I just called him, come back for dinner."

"Good"

"Mom told us to go back to dinner." Quietly hung up the phone and said.

"Okay, let's go!" He Ping sandwiched the photo in the poetry collection, glanced at the room and said.

He knew that even if there was important information, it would not be easy for people to find it, and that important information would probably be in the book.

When he walked to the security booth, He Ping showed the photo to the security uncle and said, "This is our group photo." ”

"Hey, really!" The security guard originally felt that he was a little reckless, but now he is relieved.

"Uncle, I haven't been able to contact him on the phone, has he been living at home a few days ago? What do I think of the flowers that have not been watered for a long time? He Ping asked.

The security guard thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen anyone for a long time, so I put the key here two days ago, saying that a friend came to give him the key, didn't he call you?" ”

"By phone before, I thought he had been staying at home. Get busy, I'll take the key, goodbye! He Ping waved goodbye to the security guard.

The security guard watched the two leave with a smile.

"He Ping, does your heart beat faster when you lie?" Jing Jing asked.

"No, we're all trained, it's a mandatory test for espionage classes." He Ping replied.

"Then how will I know which sentence you said is true and which is false?" Jing Jing asked.

"Uh..., I'm not lying to you." He Ping replied.

"I know you're not going to lie to me, hehe!" Smiled quietly.

The two rode their bicycles home again, talking and laughing all the way, and arrived home in a short time.

"Dad, Mom, we're back!" Jing Jing opened the door and saw Guo Xiaotian sitting on the sofa watching TV, and Li Ping brought the food to the table.

"I'm back, hurry up and wash your hands, come over for dinner!" Li Ping was busy arranging the dishes and chopsticks.

"Did you buy the books? I have a lot of books in my house, so I have to pick two of them. Guo Xiaotian looked at He Ping with a book in his hand and said.

"I borrowed this book from Fang Zhengya." He Ping saw that Guo Xiaotian stretched out his hand to see what kind of book it was, and handed it over.

"Huh!" Guo Xiaotian said in surprise.

"What's wrong?" He Ping asked with a spirit.

"Isn't this book mine?" Guo Xiaotian said.
