Chapter 23 10. Missing and locked

Police officer Tian Xiaole experienced another five hours of hard life of guarding corpses alone.Seeing us go back, he was as happy as a desert camel caravan businessman seeing an oasis without drinking water for three days. As for the promise he had made to me to give me a four-hour break, it also came to naught.Because he has already entered the dreamland first. Where is Lao Song?Regret again, self-blame again, pain of being hurt again, and fell asleep. In the dark room, bored, I went to QQ to find the so-called "horse master." It was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I heard intermittent women crying from outside the window... Through a small crack in the curtain, I saw a fire in the center of the community, and a middle-aged woman was burning paper.

I really don't understand these people, what kind of paper are we burning here every day? Do you think we haven't done enough? At this time, I found that there was a newspaper on the table, and a two-inch photo of Gu Mei came into my eyes—"Missing Person Notice"... Gu Mei? In an instant, my heart fell to the bottom again, and I began to read the notice carefully... The missing person notice, Gu Mei, female, 25 years old, 168 cm tall, lost contact with her family on May 5, 2008, and no one knows her whereabouts If so, please contact your family as soon as possible.Contact number: ... I called Gu Mei's mother, and the news I got was that I sent her to the train that day, but she never came home.

Did she have an accident? She just met me a few times, who would harm her? I was so restless that I really wanted to run out to find her right away. Up to now, I suddenly found that I really like her, this kind of love is thorough, unreserved, and exhausting. If Ma Shi gave me the feeling of a violent storm, then Gu Mei is like a gentle wind and a drizzle. It is as quiet as a light breeze. But now, both of them are far away from me; one is a human or a ghost, it is unknown; the other has disappeared, life and death are unknown. Why does Gu Mei also wear size 37 shoes?How much does this have to do with her disappearance?

Why did she come the day after I picked up the red sneakers? Also, who is that QQ called "Ma Shi"? I feel like there are pairs of eyes staring at me, paying attention to my life, torturing my soul! I looked downstairs again, and the woman who burned the paper had disappeared. At this time, there was the sound of chopping things upstairs, as if the force was very fierce, and it seemed that they were chopping something that was not easy to chop. One click, one click, one click, one click... Afterwards, I heard a sound of a sharp weapon falling to the ground, very clearly, and I seemed to be able to imagine the state of that thing when it touched the ground, maybe it would spark.

I thought of the horror stories I had seen before, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Edogawa Ranpo... I watched a Stephen King movie before, about a writer who was in a car accident and was rescued by a female reader After that, they imprisoned him, forced him to write novels, and broke his legs... At three o'clock in the morning, there was still the sound of chopping things upstairs, as if they were chopping bones. I decided to go upstairs to have a look, but Lao Song and Tian Xiaole stopped me. After that, the sound of chopping things was still intermittent, which made us not rest well and was often woken up.

I couldn't take it anymore, I opened the door, rushed upstairs, and knocked loudly. As a result, there was no sound at all. I went back to the room to continue guarding the corpse, and the sound of chopping things started again... I walked to the door, and the sound stopped again. In this way, I sat at the door, stayed until dawn, and lived in peace all night. During the day, the person who came to deliver the food brought another newspaper, and I looked through the page of missing person notices again. There was only one line: The notice about Gu Mei's missing person has been canceled as of today.

I was overjoyed and immediately called Gu Mei's mother, but her mother hesitated and hesitated. Did you find Gu Mei, or did Gu Mei have an accident? I called the railway bureau again, and after being interrogated by N people, I finally got some news about her: she was on vacation. And the start and end date of the vacation is the day we last met. The matter is a bit outrageous. Since it is a rest, why does her mother post a missing person notice? I then called my police school classmate who worked at the Municipal Public Security Bureau and told Gu Mei's phone number, asking him to check for me the exact location of the phone.

He asked me to wait for news. He called me back two days later and said, "She's near you." "What? Near me? Stop kidding!" "I'm not joking. Are you suspicious of our public security agency's investigative methods, or our friendship for many years?" "That's not what I meant. Anyway, thank you very much. I'll treat you to dinner when I go back." "You're welcome." She is near me, what is she doing near me? For me, does she really have a dark secret?But to unlock this secret, some necessary tools are needed. I found a time when I was not guarding the corpse, and went out to do the shopping myself.After that, I bought a lot of things and came back.

Tian Xiaole opened the handbag, and when he saw what I bought, he said in surprise: "Brother, are you going to change your career?"
