Saturday, May 13

The weather forecast said that there would be rain today, and sure enough, it was covered by dark clouds early, gloomy and depressing.

Early in the morning, Li Xiangnian contacted Lu Tao and Zhang Yichi's homeroom teachers, conducted interviews, and questioned some classmates in the class through their homeroom teachers. Although he had also looked for everyone before, they were all focused on obtaining information about Lu Tao, and this time Li Xiangnian only wanted to understand Zhang Yichi from these people.

It reads as follows:

[Class teacher: Actually, Zhang Yichi is the most special person in our class. All roads lead to Rome, but he was born in Rome. The family conditions are so good, I feel that it has a great impact on this child's values, and he usually has a kind of contempt for the other classmates in the class, and he really doesn't know what to say. This kid feels in his bones that he is not from the same world as the rest of his classmates, or even our teacher. often bullied other classmates, but the parents of the people have a little relationship with the school leaders, and they have been punished several times, and it is not so easy to expel them for a period of time. 】

[Li Xiangnian: Do his parents care? 】

[Class teacher: His parents divorced when he was a child, and now he is following his father, but I feel that his father doesn't care much about him, he has been working in the field, and he has not come to several parent-teacher meetings, which is quite helpless. 】

[Li Xiangnian: Do you think there have been any changes in him recently? It started with Lu Tao's disappearance. 】

[Class teacher: I really feel like I've changed a lot when I say this, I haven't made much trouble in the past week, I'm quite peaceful, and I've become polite. Like before, something must go wrong every week, and several of our teachers are mentally prepared. 】

——

[Student 1: Even other schools know that we have such a rat that spoils a good pot of soup, and I don't know why the school keeps him, instead of dissuading him or expelling him directly. Well...... Yes, we had a conflict before, that is, he touched his shoulder when he was passing by, and he happened to be in a bad mood at the time. I'm the squad leader, so I don't have a lot of face. There are a lot of people behind him, and I don't dare to resist. But if the school had voted to expel him anonymously, I would have been the first to come forward. 】

[Student 2: Actually, we haven't dealt with each other much, and every time I run into him, I flash far away, for fear of causing some trouble. How dare we talk back to him? Teacher? The head teacher can't take care of it, our previous head teacher was cowardly, and now he can't be suppressed to be honest. The last time I had contact...... It was Monday when he asked me to buy water for him. Nozomi doesn't want him expelled? Of course I hope, I don't want to have anything to do with this person in my life. 】

[Student 3: It's not me who said, this kind of person is garbage, and if you live, you can only bring disaster to others, and I don't know what the school thinks, this kind of person can still stay, if I am the principal, I will be expelled directly without saying a word. Hey, I can't say, if I'm the principal, how can I have time to care about this little thing. 】

It was already noon after completing the interview, Li Xiangnian drove to find a place to eat, and finally came to Zhang Yichi's community by mistake.

I found a random food stall on the outskirts of the community and bought something to eat, Li Xiangnian sat back in the car, began to eat, and sorted out the content of the interview.

It was already raining heavily outside after eating. Li Xiangnian turned on the wipers and drove to the downstairs of Zhang Yichi's house. Coincidentally, Zhang Yichi, who was wearing a black raincoat, walked out of the unit door.

Li Xiangnian rolled down the window, and Zhang Yichi said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Here we go again." ”

"Get in the car and talk?" Li Xiangnian said, he looked at Zhang Yichi and felt that he was a little different today.

"Let's talk about it like this, I'm in a hurry." Zhang Yichi glanced at the time on his phone and walked to the car.

The rain was pouring down, and the two looked at each other silently for a few seconds.

For a while, Li Xiangnian didn't know how to ask a question, so he groaned and organized his language before he said, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to the Internet café. How, interested in going along? Zhang Yichi looked indifferent and said calmly.

"Nope. I still want to talk to you about Lu Tao. I think you know the inside story of this matter very well, it's all come to this point, and what is the meaning of hiding. Li Xiangnian said.

"Boom!" A deafening thunder rang out, and the thunder and lightning seemed to whip the air.

Zhang Yichi glanced at the left impatiently: "I really don't understand what you're talking about, what's the matter, it's better to say it directly, besides, it's better to have some evidence that can scare me half to death." ”

"I went to your homeroom teacher and talked to my classmates." Li Xiangnian said.

"Oh, I'm in a hurry to play the game, you can investigate slowly by yourself, hurry up and get Lu Tao back, don't let us worry." With that, Zhang Yichi turned around and left.

"I've heard a lot of people say that you are like a different person this week, and you are acting very abnormally, to put it simply, you are a lot more restrained, and you are not as impetuous as before. Ordinary people will only converge if they do something wrong, but you must have made a big mistake if you have changed so much, right? Li Xiangnian leaned out of the car window and said to Zhang Yichi's back, his voice was raised and a little unkind. Seeing that Zhang Yichi didn't stop, he said something meaningful, "Tomorrow is Mother's Day." ”

"That's right." Zhang Yichi's body stiffened, turned around and walked back, looking at Li Xiangnian, who was sickly pale, slightly provocative, "It's really sad that the medicine bottle contains all your life." ”

Li Xiangnian subconsciously looked at the medicine in his car.

"Let's take the time to visit the hospital...... It's not kindness, it's just that people like you shouldn't die so early compared to other soulless characters in the city. After saying this time, Zhang Yichi left without looking back.

Watching Zhang Yichi disappear into the rain, Li Xiangnian took a deep breath, his face changed again, and he coughed violently. This time the cough was even stronger, almost fainting, he felt like his body was about to lose his hold, and at the last moment, he insisted on dialing 120.

——

Zhang Yichi walked briskly, his face becoming colder and colder.

He checked his phone again, mentally planning the little time he had left.

It was raining, cold, and energetic.

He pulled the brim of his raincoat forward, then took a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. The smoke was beaten by the rain, but the restless soul in his body calmed down a little.

Every time he passed by someone, he felt that he was a little further away from this world.

Gradually, he was moving away from this sordid world.

"Shhh...... Whew......"

"Huh."

——

Pushed into the intensive care unit, Li Xiangnian, who was wearing an oxygen mask, was still quite conscious.

His old friend Cui Han and several colleagues from the police station had already arrived to accompany him.

"I've already called Ying'er, and she will arrive tonight by plane." Cui Han leaned over and said to Li Xiangnian on the hospital bed.

Originally, Li Xiangnian wanted to say that there was nothing big about it, so there was no need to ask Ying'er to come all the way back to see him. But that fragile body made him feel a little scared, he hoped to see his daughter sitting beside him in this helpless time, so he nodded slightly to Cui Han and said with difficulty: "Thank you." ”

"What's going on, Lao Li!" Director Zhang Yimin also rushed over, looking anxious, "Why don't you say that you have this disease, and keep saying that you just have a small cough!" ”

Li Xiangnian could only smile.

At this time, Zhang Yimin's mobile phone rang, he picked up the phone, and quickly lowered his voice: "What? Murder? Where is it? Has the murderer been caught? What is it called? Zhang, Zhang? Zhang Yichi? Okay, I know, I'm in the hospital, I'll be there later......"

Hearing Zhang Yichi's three words, Li Xiangnian's eyes suddenly widened, and he reached out and grabbed Zhang Yimin's sleeve: "Zhang Yichi? ”
