That person was Li Xiangnian. There were several cigarette butts scattered at his feet, indicating that he had been waiting here for a long time.
Zhang Yichi stepped forward and asked, "Is there any news about Lu Tao?"
"No." Li Xiangnian threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and stamped it out. "I discovered some strange things during the investigation. I would like to hear your opinion... Can we go upstairs to talk about it?"
"...Okay." Zhang Yichi walked into the corridor first, with Li Xiangnian following behind him.
The two of them didn't talk much on the way up the stairs, only the sound of heavy and clear footsteps in the dark night. Zhang Yichi felt a little uncomfortable walking in front because Li Xiangnian was standing behind him, which made him feel very insecure.
On the sixth floor, Zhang Yichi took out his key and opened the door. After the two of them went in, Zhang Yichi changed into slippers and sat on the sofa. Li Xiangnian also changed into shoes and sat next to Zhang Yichi: "I won't delay you.
Too long."
"It's okay, just tell me." Zhang Yichi felt a little awkward sitting there, so he took two cups and filled them with water. He took a sip from one cup and listened to Li Xiangnian's explanation of his doubts.
Li Xiangnian took out a piece of paper from his bag, with various boxes and arrows drawn on it. Each box had words on it, such as 'square', 'Yonghe community'. It was obvious that this was a map drawn by Li Xiangnian
.
"At 11:56 pm on the 7th, Lu Tao came out of your house." Li Xiangnian took a pen and drew along the arrow, "After coming out of your house, he went out from the main entrance of the community and passed the overpass. At 0:00 on the 8th
He arrived at the square opposite your community at five o'clock. Then he walked from here all the way to Yonghe Community. He didn't go in, but kept walking straight through the woods..."
The route drawn by Li Xiangnian is completely correct.
"Hmm..." Zhang Yichi responded, subconsciously picking up the cup and taking another sip of water.
"What puzzles me now is that every surveillance after the grove found no trace of Lu Tao. In other words, Lu Tao disappeared from the world in the grove."
"Ah? Suddenly he can't be found here?" Zhang Yichi began to think of a countermeasure.
Li Xiangnian nodded: "Yes."
"Uh... aren't there any monitoring blind spots?" Zhang Yichi asked.
"Yes." Li Xiangnian replied, and at the same time circled the monitoring blind spot on the map based on his memory, "It's just that the location of the monitoring blind spot is quite tricky. Normal people will not deliberately walk from the monitoring blind spot, unless they want to avoid something, deliberately
Cover your tracks—"
"Will he be here?" Zhang Yichi saw that Li Xiangnian's reasoning was going in a direction that was not conducive to him, and quickly interrupted Li Xiangnian's thoughts. He pointed to a surveillance blind spot near Yonghe Community, "Will he be here?"
Could it be that you entered Yonghe Community through this blind spot?"
Li Xiangnian frowned, somewhat disapproving of Zhang Yichi's idea: "This should be the fence of Yonghe Community. If Lu Tao wants to go in, shouldn't he go in through the main entrance?"
What Zhang Yichi just said was just to interrupt Li Xiangnian's train of thought. He had not thought it through carefully, so it does not seem to be a reasonable explanation now: "Perhaps Yonghe Community does not allow outsiders to enter? Or maybe it is from
This is a shortcut, why is he too lazy to take a detour and go in through the main entrance?"
The explanation was still far-fetched, and Li Xiangnian still didn't accept it to be honest, but now his thinking had reached an impasse. Perhaps the truth was so unexpected, so he chose to accept Zhang Yichi's opinion: "Are there any students in your class living in Yonghe Community?
Or does he have other friends living in Yonghe Community?"
"I'm not sure about this." Zhang Yichi shook his head and took a sip of water again.
"Well." Li Xiangnian put away his things, sat in silence for a while, and then stood up, "Can I see your home?"
"Ah, okay."
Li Xiangnian walked around Zhang Yichi's house: "It's almost done. You should hurry up and do your homework and go to bed early."
Zhang Yichi responded.
After Li Xiangnian changed his shoes, he suddenly remembered something: "Please remember my mobile phone number. If you contact Lu Tao, notify me as soon as possible."
After leaving his mobile phone number, Li Xiangnian left Zhang Yichi's house and got into the car.
"Ahem!" After a violent cough, Li Xiangnian's eyes were bloodshot. He took out a bottle of medicine with difficulty, poured two tablets into his mouth, and drank the water in the glass.
After more than ten minutes, his condition returned to normal.
He looked at the time on his cell phone and saw it was nine-thirty. He tried to dial a cell phone number, but it never got through. He looked a little disappointed and drove away.
…
Zhang Yichi washed his face and sobered up a lot.
He was extremely tired today, but he still had the energy to take out his notebook and write down the rhetoric he had compiled.
While he was watching, another wave of memories surged out of his head...
…
"Give me money! I need money! I promise this is the last time I ask you for money!" Lu Tao yelled at Zhang Yichi.
Zhang Yichi looked a little broken: "I have no money! I borrowed money from my friends all over the place! I also tried various ways to get a lot from my dad! The total amount of money is already quite big, don't
Take advantage of it!"
Lu Tao suddenly pulled out a fruit knife from his waist and pointed it at Zhang Yichi, madly and calmly: "I have no choice! But you have a choice! Give me money, the last three hundred thousand, give me this money, I
I will let you go."
"If you want money, you don't have to risk your life!" Zhang Yichi said.
"Then I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Lu Tao was very excited and stabbed Zhang Yichi with a fruit knife.
Zhang Yichi managed to escape without any danger, with a look of fear and disbelief on his face: "You really want to kill me?!"
"You deserve to die!" Lu Tao failed once and rushed to Zhang Yichi again.
Zhang Yichi couldn't hold back anymore. He threw Lu Tao to the ground, grabbed the fruit knife, and began to chop and stab wildly...
…
"Huh...huh...huh..." is another sudden memory, which seems to be connected with the memory unlocked for the first time. However, the directions of the two memories are completely different. The first memory makes Zhang Yichi
She thought he had killed Lu Tao, but the second memory was reversed. It was actually Lu Tao who wanted to kill Zhang Yichi, but Zhang Yichi over-defended and killed him instead!
"Fuck." Zhang Yichi was a little confused.
Now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined, and there is another hidden secret behind the tragedy!
Lu Tao was obviously a well-behaved student, while Zhang Yichi was a gangster. In that memory, it was as if their identities had been reversed. Zhang Yichi was actually threatened by Lu Tao, and it looked like he was being asked for a lot of money.
Why did these two people who were supposed to live in different worlds get entangled together...
Zhang Yi relaxed for a moment and became interested in digging out the truth.
