Such confusion is difficult to get rid of for a while.

When Su Chengyi sat at the dinner table, he was still thinking hard, and the chopsticks didn't move in the rice for a long time.

Although Yang Liu Fangcai also felt worried, she was also middle-aged in the end, and it was over after she sighed.

But Su Chengyi's personality dictates that whenever he encounters something, whether it has anything to do with him or not, he always wants to intervene.

From the time he was reborn, it seemed to have become some kind of mission on his body.

For emergencies that are clueless and difficult to climb, standing by is of course the best way to deal with them.

However, it seems that it is still a little cooler to do good deeds without asking about the future.

Lin Zhiwan quickly saw that Su Chengyi was absent-minded and as keen as her, and of course quickly guessed the reason.

But she couldn't speak, and she couldn't even say a word of comfort.

After a long time, he just sandwiched the specially reserved chicken wings into Su Chengyi's bowl.

Su Chengyi reacted and thanked him.

Lin Zhiwan's craftsmanship has always been very good, and the chicken is smooth and not woody, which is very delicious.

People like Yang Liu, who are extremely picky about the taste and raw materials of food, are also easily impressed and praised again and again.

Lin Zhiwan was a little embarrassed by her praise, she didn't eat much, and after putting down the chopsticks, she stood up and did other things.

Su Chengyi found that there was also a meal reserved next to him. The white porcelain bowl was specially placed by the stove to keep warm, and when Lin Zhiwan picked it up, she carefully used a towel to insulate it.

His mind moved, and then he saw Lin Zhiwan lift the curtain at the door and wave to the door.

Aunt Zhou was sitting on the opposite step resting, her face was pale and tired, and she came over after a while.

Lin Zhiwan tried to elicit a reassuring smile.

Before this kind of accident, Aunt Zhou was a very enthusiastic person.

At that time, she took Lin Tong to the first time, and she was too young to understand anything, and her aunt gave them a lot of help to their two siblings.

Now that the other party encounters this kind of thing, she wants to help in her heart, but she can't speak, she can't even ask everywhere, and she can hardly help.

Lin Tong can also help edit and print missing person notices, and Xiao Feige can allow her to ask for news in the mahjong parlor with the most people in the neighborhood by default, but all he can do is cook an extra meal and invite her to eat.

Lin Zhiwan and Su Chengyi's mood at this time is actually quite similar, they both have the feeling of powerlessness that they want to help but can't help.

"Can you tell me more about Zhou Yan?"

Knowing that the family had no intention of greeting at this time, Su Chengyi asked straight to the point.

Aunt Zhou's hand holding the chopsticks trembled a few times, and then gently placed it on the table.

In this situation, as long as someone is willing to help, it is naturally good. What's more, after a few months, everyone's initial sympathy has long since faded, and there are very few people who are willing to help or not, and there are very few people who are willing to listen to her.

Everyone had their own lives to live, and she didn't want to bother anyone else, but there was no better way than that.

"Yan Yan couldn't be contacted from September 12th, and on the 10th, he told me that he had a job and couldn't go home for about three or four days, and he could get 3,000 yuan before and after. I didn't agree at first, because it had been too long and I was a little worried. ”

Aunt Zhou has probably said these words countless times in front of the police investigators and neighbors, so when she speaks, her eyes are hollow, and her tone is numb, which is very mechanical.

Su Chengyi listened and asked out loud:

"Three thousand dollars?"

This is a salary that does not conform to the mainstream level of the modern era.

Aunt Zhou sighed and explained:

Yan Yan said that he met a big brother on the road and had a way to make money. He had been there a few times before, but nothing happened, and he really made money. ”

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

Su Cheng thought that luck was really harmful.

The high-risk and high-return "way to make money" is definitely illegal or repeatedly jumping on the edge of the law, no matter what, it will be a catastrophe after overturning.

"This time, because it was too long, I didn't want him to go. He ostensibly promised well, but he slipped away quietly in the middle of the night.

On the first day, I could send a text message to report that I was safe, but from the second day, I couldn't get in touch. ”

If the 11th can still report safety, it can basically be confirmed that it happened on the 12th of September.

Su Chengyi secretly wrote down the date.

"I waited another day, and on the morning of the 13th I went to call the police. The surveillance found that he got into a van in the early morning, and the license plate number was fake, and the person disappeared. ”

So all the clues were interrupted like this, and when Aunt Zhou said this, her emotions finally collapsed again.

"It's me who I'm sorry for Yan Yan, I already knew that he shouldn't have been allowed to make money, he worked so hard to subsidize his family, blame me, blame me"

If she continued, Yang Liu would have hugged her and cried.

The atmosphere in the small room was oppressive and heavy.

Su Chengyi glanced down at his watch, there were still five minutes to the hour, he watched the hands tick forward, and decided to leave these five minutes to her to feel sorry for herself.

It is necessary to vent emotions, otherwise self-blame and shame will drive people crazy.

And most people probably won't give her such a chance anymore.

The story of Xianglin's sister-in-law has always been happening, and the spectators in the story are always there.

"She may not know that her sorrow, which has been chewed and appreciated by everyone for many days, has long since become dregs, worthy of only annoyance and spit; Judging from people's smiles alone, it seems that this is cold and sharp, and there is no need for me to open my mouth anymore. She just glanced at them and didn't answer a word. ”

Fortunately, the times have changed now, and most of the people around Aunt Zhou are full of kindness.

Su Chengyi watched the pointer swing to the hour, and then raised his eyes.

Yang Liu held Aunt Zhou's hand with empathy and comforted, saying something like "Jiren has his own natural appearance"; Lin Tong turned his back to a few people, silently cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks; Lin Zhiwan stood aside, her eyes reddened.

"Auntie, I'll keep an eye on you."

Su Chengyi suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, several people were slightly stunned.

But only Lin Tong knows that Su Chengyi will say such a thing, which means that he will not simply "pay attention".

He would only speak up when he was determined to intervene in the matter.

It's like rescuing himself from the bullying of Hou Xiaohong and his gang at that time.

In fact, Su Chengyi has no bottom in his heart, this kind of thing is difficult to investigate with his current ability, and the reality is not "Conan", nor "Sherlock".

But how do you know without trying?

There was an indifferent firmness in his tone, which was inexplicably convincing, and Aunt Zhou, who had always been as helpless as a headless fly, suddenly felt that she had grasped a life-saving straw, and her knees bent, almost kneeling down to thank her.

Fortunately, Yang Liu's eyes quickly stopped her, otherwise Su Chengyi would have to have ten thousand feelings in his heart.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Su Chengyi quickly took the opportunity to walk to the door to avoid the next series of conversations thanking him for his help.

The caller ID is He Wufei.

Almost the moment he saw the name, Su Chengyi felt an electric current pass through his brain.

The phone vibrated in the palm of his hand, and his heartbeat accelerated.

Yes, he remembered where he had seen Zhou Yan.

At that time, in order to investigate He Wufei's identity, Su Chengyi deduced from the clothes under the raincoat that he was a waiter.

From the ill-fitting clothing, it is inferred that he is a part-time employee rather than a permanent employee.

After all the research, it was finally determined that his clothes came from a restaurant called Deyue Restaurant, which hosted a 100th birthday party, so it required a large number of temporary workers.

Su Chengyi infiltrated the banquet the next day, and learned He Wufei's identity information from the waiter he met backstage.

Zhou Yan is the waiter.

"Hello? Listening? What's the situation? ”

After falling into the memory, it took Su Chengyi a while to hear He Wufei's slightly puzzled voice on the other end of the earpiece.

"Well, you say."

"Are you home now? I sent the model file over, so I can take a look at it when I have time. ”

There was a crackling sound on the keyboard from He Wufei's side, and he seemed to have been working at a high intensity recently.

"Okay."

Su Chengyi agreed, and was silent again.

He Wufei quickly sensed that something was wrong, and then asked:

"Is there something going on?"

It's not that he's keen, it's just that usually the hand speed of this great god hanging up the phone is faster than that of a ghost, and sometimes before the word "bye-bye" is finished, he can only hear the busy sound of "doodoo".

Today, he didn't hang up for a long time, He Wufei suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he had a bad premonition.

If the sky is clear, there won't be another Shura field, right? He's already starting to tremble and sweat.

"Hmm. Wukong: Do you remember when you used to work part-time at a place called Deyue Restaurant? ”

Su Cheng glanced at the people in the room without a trace, and then took two steps outside.

"Deyue Restaurant. Remember. ”

He Wufei looked at the 3D model on the screen, was silent for a moment, and recalled with a frown.

Of course I do.

It was when I was working part-time here that I was found out by Detective Su Chengyi in half of the city.

"Why didn't you go to work on your last day? Because you know I'm looking for you? ”

When Su Chengyi asked like this, He Wufei remembered.

"It's not. I was thinking about that place. A little off. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The pay is wrong, the atmosphere is wrong, and the people in charge of recruitment are not right. But if I had to say, I didn't have much sense of crisis at that time.

The reason I ran away was that the manager had been interrogating me for my identity the night before, and he was saying that if I wanted to get money, I would have to come here often to pick up jobs in the future.

That doesn't make sense, right? It was like I had signed a deed of sale, so I didn't go.

We are temporary workers, there is neither a contract nor legal protection, and there is only a verbal agreement, so I don't have to ask for wages or anything like that. ”

He Wufeizai carefully explained the reason for running away at that time.

"So you almost starved to death at home, didn't you?"

Su Chengyi said slowly.

He Wufei: "."

That's just as well. If it weren't for Su Chengyi who happened to be squatting downstairs at his house that night, maybe he would have really died at the door of his house.

"As it turns out, you were right to run away."

Su Chengyi said. I have to say that this guy really has a set of danger perception, and his running skills are also extraordinary.

"What's wrong?"

Su Chengyi told Zhou Yan in detail, and then sent the photos on the missing person notice and asked:

"Do you remember this man?"

I don't remember much."

He Wufei tried to remember, but he didn't get anything. He used to live like a walking corpse, where did he have the heart to pay attention to a colleague he met part-time.

Predictable.

Su Cheng thought about it and asked another question:

"Do you still remember that manager? What's his name? ”

Judging from He Wufei's description, he is likely to be the so-called "acquaintance on the road" in Zhou Yan's mouth.

"He didn't tell us his specific name, and if I'm not mistaken, his surname was Sun. I once heard a guest call him Sun Er, but this should be a nickname. ”

After hanging up the phone, Su Chengyi repeated this information in his heart.

Although he saw Zhou Yan before his disappearance, his disappearance was obviously inseparable from this so-called acquaintance, and this acquaintance was most likely Sun Er.

Sun Er is the manager of Deyue Restaurant, which is a fixed identity.

Things seem to be making sense here.

The clue to the sudden arrival is a reward for the brave!

Su Chengyi took a deep breath to calm down, and then began a new round of calm thinking.

Regarding this Deyue Restaurant, he felt the same as He Wufei, it was very wrong from head to toe.

So after he got He Wufei's information at that time, he even slipped away through the direct back door, and reminded Zhou Yan sideways before leaving-there is no free lunch in the world.

However, Zhou Yan obviously had no experience in the world and was in need of money, even if he felt strange in his heart, he only quickly revealed it.

If only I could have reminded him more.

Su Chengyi shook his head, it was useless to think about this now.

At that time, he was only suspicious in the end, and there was no substantive evidence at all, even if he said it, Zhou Yan would not believe it.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Chengyi used a mobile phone browser to search for the information of Deyue Restaurant.

As expected, there is very little publicly visible information, and it is impossible to find out who the investors behind it are.

There are a few more reviews, but they are all from a few months ago, and they are all bad reviews without exception.

Some complained about poor service and bad attitude; Some dislike the restaurant environment and the hygiene is not up to standard; Some scolded the food for being unpalatable and unappetizing.

Seeing these comments at the time, Su Chengyi only felt funny.

Now it seems that I feel that it can be seen from here that the existence of this restaurant is obviously not for profit, but for other meanings.

Since you can't find the information on the Internet, let's step on it offline.

Thinking like this, Su Chengyi immediately took a taxi to the location of the Deyue Restaurant on the map.

However, things are not as simple as they seem.

When he came last year, Su Chengyi still felt that Deyue Restaurant was different from the evaluation, at least it looked good on the outside.

And now there is no outward appearance.

The whole restaurant was lifeless, the door was closed, it looked like it had not been open for a long time, and there was no notice of closure or anything like that.

Come to think of it, I don't think there are any regular diners at all.

Is the clue that has just been discovered going to be cut off here?

Su Chengyi stood at the door and was silent for a long time, and the back of his windbreaker was blown to the sound of hunting.

"Ding Ding Dong Dong~"

The mobile phone rang, and Su Chengyi took out the mobile phone from his pocket slowly.

Miss Chu's call.

Su Chengyi stared at the screen, and suddenly his mind moved.

The clue that doesn't come suddenly is a reward for the brave who have a backstage!

Thank you for the reward of the only god bishop and power, and thank you for your subscription and vote!
