After the other two people got up and walked to the door, Zhang Yichi got up and followed them.
The three of them followed the head teacher to the office. It was now class time, and there were very few teachers left in the office. The head teacher sat in her seat and looked at the three of them: "Lu Tao hasn't come to school yet. I just called his mother."
I made a phone call and his mother said that he has not been back since the holiday on Friday and that he was staying at a friend's house. You are all good friends of Lu Tao, so you should know something about the situation. Did Lu Tao stay at your house? "
From the class teacher's words, Zhang Yichi got important information, that is, Lu Tao did not go home after the holiday on Friday afternoon. Judging from the time, he should have gone directly to Zhang Yichi's house after school.
"He went to my house." Zhang Yichi said. There was no way to hide it at this time.
"Going on Friday?"
"Well, I left around eleven o'clock last night and before twelve o'clock."
"What's he doing at your house for two days?"
"Drink." Zhang Yichi said. The reason for saying this was that he found many beer bottles in his house, and many were unopened. It seemed that he drank in the past few days. "He originally planned to leave on Saturday.
"Unexpectedly, he drank too much and had a headache, so he slept again at my house."
The head teacher didn't look surprised at Lu Tao's drinking, and even had a hint of sympathy: "Is it because of that?"
Which thing?
Zhang Yichi didn't know, and he didn't know how to answer the call. Just when he was thinking and hesitating, the head teacher started talking to himself: "You all know the situation of his family. His father passed away long ago. He
My mother worked hard to bring him up to this age, but she was diagnosed with uremia. Lu Tao has been going back and forth to school and the hospital in the past few months, and I feel very sad watching him."
"Teacher, could it be that Lu Tao was too stressed and ran away from home?" Xu Jinyan put forward an idea.
This idea was consistent with the situation Zhang Yichi wanted to create deliberately, so he began to agree: "I think it is very possible. He left suddenly last night. I was still sleeping at the time and heard the sound of the door closing. When he got up, he
He was gone. I wanted to call him at that time to ask him why he was leaving so late, but his phone was turned off."
As he said that, Zhang Yichi took out his cell phone and showed the class teacher the call records. There was indeed a record of a late-night phone call he made to Lu Tao.
"Isn't he going to do something outrageous?" Han Dongdong's guess was more exaggerated, "Isn't his mother going to do dialysis? She has borrowed a lot of money from others recently. She lent me more than 300 points, and she hasn't paid it back yet.
Woolen cloth……"
"It's also possible." The head teacher nodded, "When her mother gets sick, the family has no financial resources at all. In fact, I have already reported this situation to the leaders, and the school is planning to mobilize the entire school to donate to his family in the near future."
Han Dongdong said worriedly: "Teacher, what should we do? Do we need to call the police?"
"Isn't that true?" Zhang Yichi smiled, but his face was a little stiff, "Even if all is said and done, Lu Tao has only been missing for twelve hours. I guess it won't be long before he comes back. After all, he is quite filial, no matter what
It's impossible not to consider the current fucking situation.
"What you said makes sense." The head teacher pondered, and seemed to have given up the idea of calling the police. "You guys should go back to class first. I will handle this matter."
Zhang Yichi and the other two classmates returned to the class. So far, nothing major happened throughout the morning. It was just that the other two classmates spread the news of Lu Tao's disappearance throughout the class, and this matter became a topic for students after class.
Our main chat topics.
After school at noon, Zhang Yichi returned home and made another bag of instant noodles. When the noodles looked familiar, he took out his notebook and corrected his wording.
In the morning, he obtained a lot of important information. What this information points to is somewhat different from the wording he wrote, so it needs to be corrected in real time to deal with any special situations that may occur next.
After lunch, Zhang Yichi has been focusing on editing and memorizing the weekend pseudo-words compiled in his notebook.
At two o'clock, Zhang Yichi left home again and went to school. The class was filled with students early again. At about 2:20, the head teacher came and directly called Zhang Yichi to go with her.
office.
"Teacher, is there any news?" Zhang Yichi pretended to be concerned.
"No, and Lu Tao's mother was very worried about him and insisted on asking me to call the police. I was also afraid that something would happen to him, so I went to report the crime at noon and I just came back. The police are waiting in the office now. Lu Tao has been staying with you these days.
, so the police want to ask you some specific information."
Hearing what the head teacher said, Zhang Yichi was a little uneasy, but within a few seconds he suppressed his emotions: "I think it's a bit of a fuss."
"It's a small matter, but what if something happens? If anything happens, we all have to bear the responsibility." The head teacher sighed and seemed helpless. After all, as a head teacher, he didn't want to get involved in such a thing. "I will report the case at noon.
At that time, they still refused to accept the case and said that the disappearance was under the jurisdiction of the criminal police team, but Lu Tao’s situation did not meet the standards for filing a case.”
"Then why are the police here again?" Zhang Yichi was puzzled.
The head teacher said: "I told them about the situation of Lu Tao's house, and a criminal police officer decided to come over and help find it. However, the matter has not yet reached the standard for filing a case, so it will not be filed for investigation, and it is estimated that they will not invest more manpower.
Already."
After saying that, the two of them had already arrived at the office. As class was approaching, the office was a little busy. After Zhang Yichi followed the class teacher in, he immediately saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa with his head down and flipping through his notebook.
This middle-aged man wears casual clothes and sits upright. He has a simple crew cut with white hair mixed with black. He is estimated to be around fifty years old. He looks out of place with the other teachers. He should be the criminal policeman mentioned by the head teacher.
The head teacher led Zhang Yichi to the middle-aged man and said, "Officer Li, I brought him."
The middle-aged man shared his laptop, stood up and looked up at Zhang Yichi, who was half a head taller than him, and said politely: "Hello, my name is Li Xiangnian."
His voice was a little rough, he must be a long-time smoker.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Yichi." Zhang Yichi looked at Li Xiangnian, and the two briefly looked at each other.
"Sit down." Li Xiangnian motioned for Zhang Yichi and the class teacher to sit down.
After the three of them sat down, Li Xiangnian opened his notebook again, holding a pen, and looked at Zhang Yichi to ask: "Tell me again about the whole process from when Lu Tao went to your house to when he left."
"Okay." Zhang Yichi had already compiled his experiences over the past few days, "He went to my house after school on Friday afternoon and wanted to borrow money from me."
Li Xiangnian started to record in his notebook, but as soon as Zhang Yichi finished saying this, he stopped and said, "Wait a minute, Lu Tao went to your house to borrow money from you on Friday?"
"Yes. His mother has uremia, and dialysis requires a lot of money. But their family has no financial resources, so they can only find someone to borrow money." Zhang Yichi answered calmly. He just changed this statement at noon today, and was asked by the class teacher this morning.
After being called to the office for questioning, he obtained several important information.
Lu Tao's mother has uremia; he is a single-parent family; he needs money very much; he has borrowed a lot of money from others.
He and Lu Tao are friends; he is very rich.
The argument he originally prepared was that Lu Tao wanted to drink with him because he had something on his mind, but this argument alone was not convincing enough. So he made a reasonable deduction and added the story of borrowing money to it.
"Lu Tao's mother's condition has been a bit unstable recently and she needs a lot of money." The head teacher interjected, "Our school has also arranged donations and it will be carried out in the next few days."
Li Xiangnian stared at Zhang Yichi for a few seconds, seeming to be thinking about something. Soon he lowered his head and said: "Continue."
