Chapter 1: The Book of Destiny

Next Chapter

It was summer vacation, the weather was suffocating, Gu Wenyu came to the Public Security Bureau alone, at this time she seemed a little nervous and flustered, opposite her, was a young lady in uniform, who looked like she should be a police officer in charge of civilian work.

The young lady was carefully recording what Gu Wenyu said, and after she finished writing, she looked up at Gu Wenyu and asked, "When was the last time you saw Gu Wentian?"

Gu Wenyu said without thinking: "It was the morning before yesterday, I still remember that he said that he would come back a little earlier in the evening, but that night, he didn't come back at all, and the phone was turned off." ”

The young lady quickly recorded it, and then asked, "Have you contacted any of his friends?"

Gu Wenyu immediately nodded and said, "I contacted him, I called his colleagues, and they said that my brother didn't go to work the day before yesterday." ”

When the young lady heard this, she asked a hypothetical question: "Could it be that you are going out to play?"

When Gu Wenyu heard this, he said excitedly: "No! Even if he goes out to play, he will definitely tell me! My brother is very measured, he won't disappear for no reason, he must have had an accident!"

Seeing that Gu Wenyu was emotional, the young lady had no choice but to soothe: "Okay, don't be excited, I'm just asking about the situation as usual." ”

At this time, another uniformed policeman came over, he handed the young lady opposite Gu Wenyu a stack of materials, and then whispered a few words to her, the young lady nodded, the person didn't stay long, it seemed that he was just here to deliver the information.

The young lady first glanced at Gu Wenyu, and then began to look down at the information, she said to Gu Wenyu while looking: "According to the road surveillance and the surveillance camera at the entrance of your community, Gu Wentian returned to the community at 15:42 pm on July 10, that is, the day before yesterday, and he never came out again." ”

After speaking, the young lady looked at Gu Wenyu again, and there was a little more questioning in her eyes, as if Gu Wenyu had come to report a false case.

Gu Wenyu was a little stunned when she heard this, and she asked tentatively, "What do you mean?" You mean, my brother disappeared in the community?"

The young lady shook her head, "I didn't say that, but according to the surveillance, Gu Wentian should be in the community." As she spoke, she asked rhetorically, "Did you quarrel?"

The meaning was obvious, she suspected that the brother and sister had a conflict, so the brother deliberately avoided it. After all, she always receives so many disappearance cases a year, all of which are husband and wife quarrels, conflicts between relatives, and then one party runs away from home, and then she comes back after a few days.

Gu Wenyu said with great certainty: "No! We didn't quarrel!"

The young lady in uniform nodded, she turned the recorded documents to Gu Wenyu as if it was routine, and then said, "Take a look, is there anything else to add?"

Gu Wenyu looked at the contents of the record, "No, then when will you go to find my brother?"

The young lady didn't answer Gu Wenyu's words, she pointed to the bottom of the document again, and said, "If there is no problem, sign it here, and then you can go back, there is news from your brother, we will inform you." ”

Gu Wenyu glanced at the place of the other party's finger, she quickly signed, and then begged: "Please be sure to find my brother!"

The young lady took the file back, then repeated, "We have news to inform you." Maybe in her heart, Gu Wentian was just throwing a tantrum, after all, the surveillance records showed that he had returned home.

Gu Wenyu couldn't hide her frustration, she whispered a thank you, and then went home dejected.

Looking at the empty room, Gu Wenyu couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, tears couldn't stop dripping, she looked at the small photo frame in front of the TV cabinet again, the photo was her parents and brother, and the family was smiling happily.

It was a photo taken when her brother graduated from college, Gu Wenyu gently picked up the photo frame, looked at the relatives in the photo, she finally showed a faint smile, but the tears seemed to have her own will, overflowing her eyes uncontrollably.

Gu Wenyu's parents died in a traffic accident three years ago, when Gu Wenyu was still in his third year of high school and was about to face the college entrance examination. Gu Wentian has just graduated from college, and this photo became the last photo of their family.

Since the unexpected death of his parents, Gu Wentian has had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister. Gu Wentian is responsible for all the living expenses of the family, and when Gu Wenyu is admitted to university, Gu Wentian will help her pay the tuition.

In fact, Gu Wenyu has always known that this is very stressful for Gu Wentian, who is new to the workplace. My brother has loved her very much since she was a child, so Gu Wentian will never show these pressures, as long as he comes home, he is the brother who is both optimistic and warm.

Of course, her brother is also Gu Wenyu's only support in this world, and now that her brother is missing, Gu Wenyu is like losing her backbone, and she doesn't know what to do next.

Thinking of what the police lady said, Gu Wentian had never left the community, she really couldn't figure it out, where would her brother go?

Gu Wenyu cried and cried, she suddenly put down the photo frame, wiped her tears casually, and then hurriedly walked to Gu Wentian's bedroom. She couldn't just sit and wait for news, she had to do something.

Gu Wentian's bedroom was very clean, and everything was neatly placed in their respective places, not at all like a boy's bedroom.

Gu Wenyu first looked around, then walked to the desk and began to look through the books and documents on the table, if there were any clues, she felt that the most likely were these documents.

However, Gu Wenyu flipped through it for a while, but found that these were all very ordinary documents, which were things from his brother's work, and there didn't seem to be anything special.

Gu Wenyu put down the information in his hand and tried to pull the drawer, only to find that his brother's drawer was locked.

This is strange, what is in the drawer? Why did Gu Wentian lock the drawer.

Gu Wenyu felt that what she was looking for must be in the drawer, she turned Gu Wentian's pen holder upside down and poured out the pen and a bunch of messy things, which was where Gu Wentian was used to putting some small things.

But Gu Wenyu emptied the pen holder, but still didn't see the key to the drawer.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Gu Wenyu was anxious and angry, she couldn't do it in her heart, she pulled the drawer hard, dragging the whole table up, but the drawer couldn't be opened, she smashed her fist on the table angrily, kicking the table leg as if venting.

When Gu Wenyu finally calmed down, she looked at the locked drawer and turned to leave the room.

After a while, she didn't know where she had found a hammer and slammed it towards the wooden drawer.

It's just a wooden desk, wooden drawers, and the lock also comes with it, and in terms of sturdiness, it's really not very good. Gu Wenyu only smashed it twice, and the drawer was already a little deformed, and the lock was broken.

This time, Gu Wenyu easily opened the drawer, only to see a book lying quietly in the drawer.

The cover is a twisted city, with an eerie blood-red backdrop and streetlights on the streets, but not a single figure.

I don't know why, just looking at the cover of this book gave Gu Wenyu a strange sense of suffocation.

Gu Wenyu slowly took the book in her hand, she gently stroked the brush font on the page, different from the suffocating urban background, these four words are like substance, as if they have their own life, giving people an extremely warm feeling.

"The Book of Destiny?" Gu Wenyu muttered.

These four words seem to have magical power, making people can't take their eyes off it at a glance, as if there is an invisible force tempting you, constantly urging you to open the cover page.

Gu Wenyu stared at the book with burning eyes, time seemed to stand still, there was nothing else in Gu Wenyu's eyes, even the wind disappeared, and I don't know how long it took, Gu Wenyu finally opened the cover.
