Chapter 2 Earrings
Once, Liang Zhe had two best friends.
Deng Zhongquan and Pang Yi, the three of them are college roommates, they were inseparable during college, they went together everywhere, and they stayed in the city after graduation, often gathering for dinner, and their friendship continued unabated. In the third year of graduation, he and Pang Yi listened to Deng Zhongquan's strong advice and borrowed money to buy a house in this community, and a year later, the house price doubled, and now it has more than five times.
Their relationship lasted until five years ago, the night Yang Yang disappeared.
It was a family group outing, Liang Zhe's family of three, Deng Zhongquan's family of three, and Pang Yi's family of three, driving three cars, went to a mountain on the outskirts of Linshi to play and camp, and on the second night of camping, Yangyang disappeared. Since then, everything has changed, maybe he has changed, maybe they have changed, in short, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Yangyang has not been found so far, no one is alive, no body is dead, and they are all at the scene.
Liang Zhe has always doubted their statement, but the police have asked, he and his wife have also asked many times, their respective accounts remain consistent, and they were present during the whole search process, the police searched the entire mountain several times, but found no trace of Yangyang, they had no motive to murder Yangyang, and they had no time to hide the body.
But Liang Zhe didn't believe it, after countless times of going to the police station to ask, after his own uninterrupted search, now he doesn't believe anyone, he doubts anyone, and questions any statement. He firmly believed that his son was still alive and was waiting for him to rescue him in some corner of the world, and the thought of his son's surprised look when he saw him appear, his tears could not stop flowing. So, no matter what, he won't give up and can't give up.
He ran upstairs and knocked Deng Zhongquan's door.
The nanny opened the door, and before she could speak, Liang Zhe stepped in.
Deng Zhongquan was drinking tea in the living room, the fragrance of tea in the house was overflowing, he raised his eyes and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, just made tea, authentic Junshan silver needle, come and taste it." β
Liang Zhe sat on the opposite side of the sofa, looked around, and saw two large boxes in the corner, which contained some sundries, obviously preparing for the move, he pressed his wife's mobile phone, and there was a dinging sound, and his wife sent a text from AirDrop: Don't ask directly, so as not to startle the snakes and lead them to expose their own flaws, in addition, change the automatic lock time of my phone's screen to never, I found that once the screen is black, I can't find the delivery contact.
After Liang Zhe set up his wife's mobile phone, he asked Deng Zhongquan: "Where is Feng Yuan?" β
Before Deng Zhongquan could speak, Feng Yuan's voice came from the bedroom: "Put these, these, and these, all into it." "Apparently talking to the babysitter. Then, I heard the rhythmic sound of slippers, one meter seven three, now Chinese New Year's Eve and four-year-old, figure and appearance still maintain a good appearance, often regarded as twenty-seven or eight-year-old Feng Yuan walked out of the bedroom, with a soft voice: "Who is looking for me?" β
Liang Zhe turned his head and looked at Feng Yuan: "Come here, I have something to ask you." β
Feng Yuan chuckled, as if she was a little disdainful of Liang Zhe's commanding tone, but she still walked over, sat down next to Deng Zhongquan, put one hand around Deng Zhongquan's waist, and leaned on Deng Zhongquan: "Ask." β
Liang Zhe stared at Feng Yuan's eyes: "Does Yangyang's disappearance have anything to do with you?" β
Feng Yuan sighed lightly: "Are you still investigating?" How many years have it beenβ"
Liang Zhe snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, answer the question!" β
Feng Yuan looked displeased, glanced at Deng Zhongquan, Deng Zhongquan's face did not change, and poured a cup of tea for Liang Zhe.
Feng Yuan got up and left, her voice cold: "I've told you a hundred times, it's okay." β
Liang Zhe looked at Feng Yuan's silhouette: "Pang Yi didn't say that. β
Feng Yuan frowned slightly: "What do you mean by this?" β
Liang Zhe got up and approached Feng Yuan, his teeth clenched.
Feng Yuan took two steps back as if she was afraid.
Liang Zhe didn't say a word, just stared at Feng Yuan and observed Feng Yuan's reaction.
Feng Yuan avoided his gaze, retreated to the door of the bedroom, and shouted: "You are sick!" β
The more Liang Zhe looked, the more he felt that Feng Yuan was suspicious, he clenched his fists, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and he wanted to choke Feng Yuan's neck and force her to tell the truth directly, but he knew that he couldn't do that, he took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Feng Yuan shouted at Liang Zhe's back: "You tell me what to say!" β
Liang Zhe opened the door and went out, slamming the door shut, cutting off Feng Yuan's voice.
There was a clanging sound on the phone, and the wife sent a text: I'll stay here tonight to observe, you go home first.
Liang Zhe was slightly stunned, and then whispered: "Okay." β
My wife sent me another text: Open the door so I can go in.
Liang Zhe knocked on the door, the nanny opened the door, and Liang Zhe stood at the door, staring at the nanny without saying a word.
My wife sent a text: It's okay, remember to pick me up tomorrow morning.
Feng Yuan just poked his head out, and before he could speak, Liang Zhe closed the door.
After closing the door, Liang Zhe found that his wife's AirDrop contact was gone.
Feng Yuan stood at the door of the bedroom and said towards the living room: "He came to the house for no reason to go crazy, don't you care?" β
Deng Zhongquan drank tea and said slowly: "He has nothing, what are you fighting with him." β
Feng Yuan muttered, turned around and entered the bedroom, and began to accuse the nanny.
Deng Zhongquan's mobile phone vibrated and rang, it was a call from the person who noted it as "Partner No. 1", he didn't answer, and a moment later, the person called again, and he still didn't answer. Soon after, a message came to his WeChat, which was sent by the person with the note of "No. 4 partner", he leaned on the sofa, typed and chatted with the other party, then got up and walked to the door, and said to Feng Yuan when he went out: "The company has something to do, I'll go out." β
Feng Yuan didn't seem to hear it, sitting in front of the dresser, looking at the mirror, thoughtful.
A few minutes later, her daughter Deng Feifei walked through the bedroom door with her schoolbag on her back and said lightly: "I'm going to study with my cousin." β
After Deng Feifei went out, Feng Yuan waved his hand: "Let's go, you can go too." β
The nanny was stunned: "Is that still overtime?" β
Feng Yuan glared at the nanny: "Count!" β
At eight o'clock in the evening, the house was empty, Feng Yuan held her cheeks, admired her beautiful face from the mirror, and was surprised to find a crow's feet, she quickly put on the mask, lay on her back, coiled up two long legs, one foot gently swayed in the air, hummed a song in her mouth, hummed a few words, her heart was irritable, she scolded in a low voice, and then dialed Pang Yi's phone, as soon as the bell rang, she immediately hung up, and after a while, Pang Yi called her back.
"What's wrong, my goddess." Pang Yi's voice was very low.
"Liang Zhe came to me just now, did you say something to him that shouldn't have been said?"
"No, I haven't seen him in a month, what did he say?" Pang Yi's voice became nervous.
"I didn't say anything specific, but it implied that you and I knew about Yangyang's disappearance."
"You won't keep those earrings, will you?"
"How could it be! It's been lost in the river. β
"What about the other one?"
"I won't tell you, I haven't seen you since I came out of the grove."
"That's fine, you must have thought too much. I'm going to fish tonight, do you want to be together? β
"Let's catch a ghost out at night."
"Hehe, don't you come, we haven't seen each other for ten days."
"Wait."
Feng Yuan hummed the song again, her fair-skinned feet swayed, she felt that maybe she really thought about it, after all, five years have passed, and it is impossible to leave anything, not to mention that the police have not found anything, and then look at Liang Zhe's half-dead appearance now, it is estimated that time is running out, thinking like this, she couldn't help but laugh.
