Jia Junnan slowly stood up, tried to control the trembling muscles, gritted his teeth and said, "Without further ado, then, let's hurry up and investigate!" ”

He was born as a poor child, and his parents had done their best to support their seven children and send them to school, and there was no way to give them more care and love. It is rare to meet the gentle and kind Zhan Xiaolan, respect him, care about him, and be honest and good to him, he really wants to grow old with Zhan Xiaolan.

Five people walked out of the restaurant.

The night breeze was like water, blowing Zhao Xiangwan's broken hair in front of his forehead, and there was a hint of tiredness in his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Because of Zhou Jingrong's case, Zhao Xiangwan has been running around for two days in a row and only slept for more than four hours. finally ended early and got off work on time, but I didn't expect Mei Qingxi to come over with the Gu family brothers. First Zhao Chenyang came over to make a fuss, and then Jia Junnan joined, if you want to say that you are not tired, it is a lie.

Mei Qingxi's gaze stayed on Zhao Xiangwan's face, and under the dim street lamp, her bright and colorful amber eyes were slightly dim, which made his heart tighten.

Mei Qingxi turned her head sideways and smiled softly at Zhao Xiangwan: "Xiangwan, it's almost nine o'clock, you go back to the dormitory to rest first, and the investigation will be handed over to Gu Zhiguang, and call your dormitory at noon tomorrow to report the situation." ”

Zhao Xiangwan nodded and waved goodbye to them.

The night breeze of April, with the warmth of spring.

In the next two days, Zhao Xiang was full of classes and had no way to go out, so he could only keep in touch with Gu Zhiguang and Mei Qingxi by phone.

Mei Qingxi told her that he had proposed to withdraw from his family, but because Zhou Jing and Xu Juncai officially approved the arrest and Zhao Qingyun was transferred from Star City, the parents of both sides had no energy to pay attention to this matter. can only wait for Mei Qingxi to come back from Shenshi, Zhao Qingyun and Xu Juncai have met and returned the tokens exchanged when they were engaged, which can be regarded as an official retirement.

As for Zhao Chenyang's crying and grabbing the ground, refusing to let go, and accusing Zhao Xiangwan of interfering in this matter, Mei Qingxi did not tell Zhao Xiangwan. In his opinion, he didn't handle things perfectly, and it was a very embarrassing thing for Zhao Xiangwan to be misunderstood by others.

Zhao Xiangwan listened quietly and simply sent a few words of blessing.

The cold voice from the microphone was like jade hitting each other. is obviously the most simple and common "smooth journey, bright future", but it feels very sweet in Mei Qingxi's ears.

Zhao Xiangwan is Mei Qingxi, the most innocent childhood friend in that warm time when she was accompanied by her mother. It is the brightest guiding light in the embattled and ignorant youth.

In Zhao Xiangwan's view, men have ambitions in all directions, and get rid of the control of Xu Juncai and Zhou Jingrong, Mei Qingxi will have a better future. As for Mei Qingxi's deep emotions, Zhao Xiangwan didn't want to respond.

In this world, the most uncontrollable thing is the human heart.

After listening to people's secret voices and seeing the world divided and combined, Zhao Xiangwan felt that it was the wisest thing to stay calm and stay away from love.

Gu Zhiguang is also a senior this year, but the architecture major is a five-year program, and he has not yet graduated. In the past few days, he has been entrusted by Jia Junnan to actively carry out research, and there has been some progress.

"I entered the courtyard of Zhan Ping's house, and every inch of land was checked, and there was no trace of new excavation, and the possibility of burying the body was ruled out."

Zhan Ping insisted that the house was stolen and that the bedside table was where she kept her valuables, and she usually did not lock it. Seven hundred dollars had six pieces of one hundred dollars, ten sheets of ten dollars, neatly placed in a brown paper envelope. She also took out her passbook, and the withdrawal time was May 12, and the money was going to be used to buy a washing machine. ”

"There was no sign of the door being broken, I walked around the house and found that the windows had iron railings, and there was no way to climb through the windows to enter the house, so it should not be a burglary."

"The comrades at the police station are very responsible for their work, and they have sent a letter of assistance to Zhan Xiaolan's hometown, but there is no news yet. But don't worry, as long as there is news, I will tell you as soon as possible. ”

Excluding the possibility of Zhan Ping killing people and burying the corpse in the courtyard, there are only three possibilities left.

First, after Zhan Xiaolan stole the money, she fled from Zhan Ping's house with the money, and then disappeared.

Second, Zhan Xiaolan did not steal the money, and left home in anger after an argument with Zhan Ping, and then disappeared. In order to avoid responsibility, Zhan Ping deliberately said that she had lost money.

Third, an acquaintance came to Zhan Ping's house and had an argument with Zhan Xiaolan, who was going into the house to cook, hurt her, stole money, and took her away.

Either way, Zhan Xiaolan was in danger.

When Zhao Xiangwan was sorting out the case files in the city bureau, he had seen too many bizarre disappearances. may be in a car accident on the road and thrown away by the driver; may be targeted by human traffickers and abducted and trafficked deep into the mountains; You may be walking carelessly and falling into the sewer......

In a word, Zhan Xiaolan didn't show up for a day, so she had to find a way.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses.

On Thursday morning, when classes were full and the fourth period was over, Zhao Xiangwan walked out of the teaching building with books in her arms with her classmates.

Gu Zhiguang and Jia Junnan stood at the door of the teaching building. As soon as he saw Zhao Xiangwan, Jia Junnan hurriedly ran over, and his voice was hoarse: "Zhao Xiangwan, Xiaolan didn't go back to her hometown!" ”

Zhao Xiangwan stopped and repeated his words: "Didn't go back to your hometown? ”

Gu Zhiguang ran along, his expression was very solemn: "Yes, we went to the police station this morning, and the public security comrades told us that there was news from the police station in Zhan Xiaolan's hometown that Xiaolan did not go home, and her parents, siblings, and relatives did not see her." ”

Jia Junnan's voice was full of tears: "Xiaolan has no other relatives in Star City, if she is driven away by her aunt, she can only go back to her hometown." Now that there is no one in her hometown at all, where can she go? There can't really be any accidents, right? ”

Looking at Jia Junnan in front of him, his face was dark, he was short, but his hands were like pu fans, and his bones were thick. But now his hands were trembling, his eyes were full of fear, worried about Zhan Xiaolan's life and death.

Walking into the field of criminal investigation and dealing with the victim's family, Zhao Xiangwan felt sour in his heart. She's also just a student, and she can recognize lies with her mind reading skills, and she's not good at missing people.

Gu Zhiguang has inexplicable confidence in Zhao Xiangwan.

Zhan Xiaolan disappeared, and the public security officers were investigating in an orderly manner, but for some reason, Gu Zhiguang believed in Zhao Xiangwan more, and his intuition told him: With Zhao Xiangwan's participation, the case is expected to be solved.

Gu Zhiguang said: "Zhao Xiangwan, you don't have classes this afternoon, come with us to visit the dormitory area of the telecommunications bureau, right?" A week has passed, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid there will be no clues. ”

Zhao Xiangwan did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After having lunch in a hurry, the three of them came to Zhan Ping's house together.

Zhan Ping is taking a lunch break at home.

The telecommunications bureau left work at 12:00 in the morning and went to work at 2:00 in the afternoon, and Zhanping always went home for dinner and took a nap for dozens of minutes in the middle two hours. Usually Zhan Xiaolan cooks, but now that Xiaolan is not there, Zhan Ping casually eats something, and then lies down to sleep.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhan Ping, who hadn't had time to fall asleep, was on fire.

When she opened the door and saw Jia Junnan's face as a debt collector, Zhan Ping was even more angry, and said angrily: "What are you doing again?" ”

Jia Junnan made a bitter face and pleaded: "Please think about it again, there are any missing clues that have not been said, let's find a way to find Xiaolan together." ”

Zhan Ping has to take a lunch break every day, and she has a bad temper when she is woken up: "I have already told the police everything I should say, and I have nothing to say." Who knows where Xiaolan stole the money and ran away, you find it yourself, I want to rest. ”

Jia Junnan clenched his fists with both hands, and his teeth creaked: "Xiaolan disappeared in your house for no reason, the police sent a letter of assistance to her hometown, and the news from the feedback said that Xiaolan did not go back at all, her parents have rushed over, are you still in the mood to rest?" ”

When Zhan Ping heard Jia Junnan's accusation, she immediately exploded: "What do you mean to disappear in my house for no reason?" It's clear that she's old and thoughtful, so she stole things and eloped with someone! I didn't settle accounts with you, but you have the face to ask for someone? When I brought her out of the ravines and ravines for her to eat, to drink, and to shelter her, did I confess my sins? ”

Zhao Xiangwan stood behind Jia Junnan and listened quietly to Zhan Ping's heart.

[Men don't have a good thing. Tell her not to talk, don't talk, she just won't listen! I found a second-rate son who was mixed in society outside, and I almost gave birth to a doll. That's it, and I don't know how to be taught. Tie the knot? If you get married, a man won't have a good thing! 】

Zhan Xiaolan once talked about a boyfriend? Jia Junnan didn't mention this important news, I don't know if he didn't know, or forgot to mention it.

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes shone slightly, and he carefully examined Zhan Ping, who was losing his temper in front of him. In her forties, she is of medium height, plump, and her charm is still there, and her eyebrows are often wrinkled and leave a deep "Chuan" character line, which makes her look with a sharp sense of oppression.

Jia Junnan continued to accuse Zhan Ping: "First, Xiaolan is not a person who steals, don't slander her. Second, it's true that Xiaolan has lived in your house for a few years, but she eats three meals a day, cleans, knits scarves in winter, and cooks mung bean soup in summer, isn't this a reward? Third, I'm Xiaolan's boyfriend, she disappeared from your house, don't I even have the right to ask? Xiaolan's parents will come to Star Market immediately after receiving the news, and I will see how you explain to them when the time comes! ”

In the end, he was a science student, his thinking was clear, word by word, so that Zhan Ping was speechless, and he raised his hand angrily and pushed the door, and he was about to close it.

Gu Zhiguang's eyes were quick, and with a wave of his right hand, he pressed the door panel against it, preventing Zhan Ping from closing the door: "Ms. Zhan, we have something to ask you, if you don't cooperate, then let the police come to the door!" ”

This week, because of Zhan Xiaolan's disappearance, the uniformed police in the dormitory building of the Telecommunications Bureau came several times, which had already caused people around to talk about it, Zhan Ping was unbearable, listening to Gu Zhiguang's words, she had to stand patiently at the door, and said angrily: "If you have anything to ask, hurry up and say, I have to go to work in the afternoon." ”

[Ask all day long, it's annoying. If I knew where Xiaolan's girl went, wouldn't I have gone over and found her back a long time ago? The surname Jia is a fool, he doesn't know Xiaolan at all, and he says that she is jade and flawless all day long. If I hadn't taken her to have an abortion, even I would have been kept in the dark by her. Who knows if she didn't want to marry him and ran away with another man? And the face comes to me all day long, asking for a fart! Now that things are getting bigger, and a case has been filed at the police station, my brother and sister-in-law are going to come over, but how will it end......]

Have you had a tire? Whose child is it? This is another new clue.

Gu Zhiguang glanced at Zhao Xiangwan and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he had to bite the bullet and take those old words and ask again.

"What kind of clothes was Zhan Xiaolan wearing on the day she disappeared?"

"White floral point-collar shirt, black polyester trousers, black cloth shoes."

"In addition to money, are there any other stolen items in the house? Did Zhan Xiaolan take her clothes, shoes, and toiletries? ”

Zhan Ping has answered this question countless times: "She lives in the west house, and she tidies up her clothes, shoes and socks by herself, how do I know if there is anything missing?" ”

[Since Xiaolan went to work in a shoe store, her monthly salary plus commission is almost 100 yuan, and she will buy some cheap clothes and cosmetics when she has nothing to do, and she has told her countless times, the same money, buy less, buy some high-grade ones, but she refuses to listen, and there are a lot of useless things in the house. Hell knows what she took with her! 】

Rural children have just arrived in the city, they are dazzled, and once they have money in their hands, it is normal for them to be unable to control their desire to buy. However, the concept of thrift and thrift in her bones lingers, so it is indeed possible for Zhan Xiaolan to buy a bunch of cheap clothes and cosmetics.

Gu Zhiguang continued to ask: "You don't know if there are fewer clothes and boots, but if there are any toiletries, you always know, right?" ”

Zhan Ping replied: "Toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels and everything are left in the toilet, and she didn't take them away." Alas, these things are not worth a few dollars, and it doesn't matter if you bring them or not. ”

Gu Zhiguang asked: "The toiletries were not taken away, how can you be sure that she ran away from home?" ”

Zhan Ping rolled her eyes: "She stole my money, is she still staying at home waiting for me to scold?" It must have run away! ”

Asked this, Gu Zhiguang turned his head to look at Zhao Xiangwan again. Every time it's like this, Zhan Ping doesn't let go of Zhan Xiaolan's stealing money, and avoids talking about other issues. It is estimated that he is worried that he will be responsible for his niece's disappearance, so he first stands on the moral high ground and shifts the responsibility to Xiaolan.

Zhao Xiangwan stepped forward and asked softly, "If Xiaolan runs away from home, she always has to bring some belongings, what should she wear?" Does she have a usual bag? Not at home? Zhan Ping didn't know what clothes and shoes were missing, since she was so sure that Zhan Xiaolan was running away from home, she could at least ask what kind of bag Xiaolan was carrying and what characteristics it was.

Zhan Ping suddenly got stuck.

The police had asked similar questions before, but at that time, she insisted that Zhan Xiaolan eloped with her boyfriend after stealing the money, so she casually coped with a few words.

Gu Zhiguang was reminded by Zhao Xiangwan and hurriedly asked: "Yes, you are Zhan Xiaolan's aunt, get along day and night, you can't be missing a handbag, a suitcase or something in the house, right?" ”

Zhan Ping's head has been dizzy these days, and her thoughts are a little confused. Suddenly heard Zhao Xiangwan's question, and then heard Gu Zhiguang say "suitcase", suddenly "ah" sounded, and hurried to the house.

Two minutes later, Zhan Ping ran back to the door and said loudly, "The suitcase, the blue suitcase on top of the big wardrobe is gone!" ”

Gu Zhiguang and Jia Junnan said in unison: "What kind of suitcase?" ”

Zhan Ping: "She bought it herself last year, a blue suitcase about 50 centimeters high, artificial leather, with wheels, and Xiaolan took this suitcase with her on the train when she returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year. The box was big, and I didn't usually use it much, so I put it on top of the big wardrobe, and I didn't pay attention to it at all. ”

Jia Junnan also understood: "Yes, this suitcase was bought in October last year, I accompanied her to the overseas Chinese shopping mall, three hundred and twenty yuan, I was a little reluctant at the time, but Xiaolan said that she had seen several flight attendants in the store dragging such suitcases, and she was very envious, and she must buy one after saving money for a few months." ”

Trolley cases with wheels are still new in the mainland, and Zhao Xiangwan has heard of it for the first time. Three hundred and twenty yuan for a box is really a sky-high price for a poor student like her!

"What kind of suitcase? Can you put it more clearly? Has anyone seen it? "If it's a new thing, it will definitely arouse everyone's curiosity, Zhan Xiaolan dragged the box out of the community, someone should notice it, and it will be remembered.

Zhan Ping was a little impatient: "Didn't you say it?" Leather, blue, fifty centimeters tall, the kind of suitcases that rich people drag when they get on planes in foreign movies. At a young age, he is not pragmatic at all, more than 300 yuan! If you have this money, won't you bring it back to her parents to build a new house? ”

[The box is big and stupid, it takes up a lot of space, and I usually eat ash on the top of the big wardrobe, I didn't care about it at all, I didn't expect this box to be so expensive, it's really a long life. She thought that if she dragged a high-end suitcase, she would become a rich person? It's ridiculous! 】

Gu Zhiguang was also a little surprised. His family runs a construction company and is considered rich, but his parents did not buy him this trolley box. The first time he heard Jia Junnan talk about the price of this suitcase, he muttered in his heart.

[I always thought that Zhan Xiaolan was the kind of hardworking and simple girl, but I didn't expect to be willing to spend three months' salary to buy a suitcase. She doesn't travel often, so why bother? I've heard people mention this kind of box, it seems that it only became popular in country M in 1987, it was invented by a captain, and those pilots and flight attendants who fly around with their luggage all day think it's a good thing. In our star market, it is estimated that it can only be sold in overseas Chinese shopping malls that specialize in selling imported goods. 】

When Jia Junnan heard Zhan Ping's words, he didn't know why he suddenly became excited: "Aren't the children of poor families worthy of having what they really want?" Xiaolan likes it, save her salary to buy a suitcase, don't steal or rob, what's the problem? You take her with you, you only know to make her obedient, make her grateful, let her be filial to her parents, and let her earn money to send home. Did you really get to know her? Have you ever asked her what she likes and what her dreams are? ”

Zhan Ping was startled by Jia Junnan's sudden questioning, and subconsciously took a step back: "I, it's not enough for me to take care of her and her to live?" Girls, it's good to be able to support yourself, what a dream! ”

Jia Junnan's chest rose and fell rapidly, his breathing became heavy, his eyes widened, and his pupils began to dilate, venting his inner dissatisfaction with Zhan Ping and the world.

"Is it because of her bad grades that Xiaolan didn't go to college? No! She is obviously very good at reading, but because her family is poor and her mother is sick and needs money, she has to drop out of high school and go to Xingshi to work to make money. Do you know which university she wants to go to? Kyoto Aerospace University!

Her dream since she was a child was to be a pilot and soar in the blue sky. Even if she can't become a pilot, she hopes to become an aircraft designer and aircraft pilot, watching the planes she designs, builds, and maintains fly in the sky.

It is because of this dream that she will be so eager when she sees the suitcase dragged by the flight attendant. She saved money in those months, and finally saved enough money, so she asked someone to exchange foreign exchange coupons and buy that suitcase, why couldn't she? Does she only deserve to live in your shabby house, rushing home from the store every day to cook you three meals a day? You don't love her at all, you just want to control her! ”

Jia Junnan is not tall, thin and small, and he doesn't look manly. But he was furious at the moment, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of accusations, which moved Zhao Xiangwan.

Zhan Ping didn't expect that because of a suitcase, Jia Junnan would be so angry. She was so angry that she muttered and explained, "I, I didn't say anything. If she buys it, she will buy it, can I still lose my suitcase? Isn't that what you're asking about suitcases? I'm just answering the truth. ”

Gu Zhiguang also apparently realized that he had overlooked this detail before.

He, Zhan Ping, and the public security officers at the police station all focused on Zhan Xiaolan's clothes and grooming on the day of her disappearance, but they ignored one thing: did she bring a suitcase when she ran away from home?

Now that Zhan Ping has found that the blue suitcase is missing, she should focus on this blue leatherette trolley when asking the surrounding crowd.
