spirit walker

Chapter 45

Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed about Brother Bing, and said:
"There are results from the Hangzhou branch? Have you found anything?"

The efficiency of the colleagues in the Hangzhou branch was too low, and it took three days to get the results. It was obvious that he didn't pay attention to the case of Brother Bing's disappearance, and he complained in his heart.

Brother Bing has been missing for almost half a month. If the Lingjing walker in the Hangcheng branch has done his due diligence, he should be able to give feedback and give enough information when Li Dongze entrusts him.

Apparently, they thought Brother Bing had died in a spiritual realm, so there was no point in investigating it.

"It's true that something was found." Li Dongze spoke for a moment, then said:
"Lei Yibing's interpersonal relationship is relatively simple. He has a withdrawn personality, walks alone, and doesn't get close to his classmates. He is very low-key in school and never makes trouble. However, after in-depth investigation by colleagues in the Hangzhou branch, they found During the past year, two people who provoked him died in some reasonable way."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, and when Li Dongze finished speaking, he immediately retorted:

"No, Brother Bing can't be said to be a good-looking man, but he is by no means withdrawn, and his work has nothing to do with being low-key. I grew up with him, and I am too familiar with him. He has a temper, and he doesn't even care about 'what are you looking at'?" Don't bother to say, just do it directly."

As for Brother Bing's suspected murder, he didn't know the details, so he didn't refute or comment.

"You're talking about fire masters, right?" Li Dongze couldn't help complaining, coughed, and brought back the topic: "So, the Lei Yibing in your mouth is different from the Lei Yibing in the students' impression, who do you think is Something went wrong."

Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a moment: "Perhaps, there is something wrong with Brother Bing."

Li Dongze agreed with an 'um', and analyzed:

"You went to the same high school as him. If he has abnormalities, you can't feel it. In other words, Lei Yibing's changes began when he was in college.

"During the period between graduating from high school and starting college, he must have encountered something that caused his temperament to change drastically. But there are too many factors involved, and without more clues, it is impossible to speculate."

Zhang Yuanqing agreed with Li Dongze's statement, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out. With his brother Bing being as close as a brother, he didn't even tell him after Bing became a spiritual practitioner.

There is no obliteration mechanism in the spiritual realm, if you want, you can even travel around the world with a trumpet to promote the spiritual realm.

Although no one will believe that...

"Any more?"

"Yes, but I don't know if it counts." Li Dongze pondered for a moment before saying, "Does Lei Yibing have the habit of keeping a diary?"

"Which serious person keeps a diary these days."

"Hangcheng's colleagues found a diary in his dormitory. He didn't write a diary frequently, but before he disappeared, he wrote a diary the night before he sent you the character card."

"Where's his diary?"

"The diary is in his university dormitory. Colleagues from the Hangcheng branch checked it and found it worthless. However, at my request, they took a photo and I will send it to you now." Li Dongze said:

"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the No. 14 day when you came out of the 'She Ling Tunnel'."

"Ok!"

Tomorrow is the deadline, either enter the spiritual realm tonight, or enter the spiritual realm tomorrow.

"There will be a short buffer time when the spirit realm is opened. Remember to call me to report, or call Guan Ya."

"understood."

After the two finished talking, Zhang Yuan checked and opened the chat software, and received the compressed package from Li Dongze.

After decompression, he got more than thirty pictures.

Zhang Yuanqing was sitting at the desk, reading the diary. Brother Bing did not write his diary very often, sometimes on a weekly basis, sometimes on a monthly basis, and he wrote about trifles.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at it very seriously at first, and after confirming that the previous diary was worthless, he turned to the last picture directly.

"The second half of the year will be an internship. Time flies. Before I know it, I will bid farewell to my college career and enter the society. I dreamed back last night, remembering my childhood in the alley with Yuanzi, and secretly reading banned books with him. The past of him cheating on my dad and his uncle's pocket money reminds me of the game I played with him."

The content is very short, just a few sentences.

Zhang Yuanqing stared deeply at the phone screen, then leaned back in the chair suddenly, and closed his eyes.

Brother Bing really left me a clue!

The next day, Zhang Yuanqing woke up at 09:30 in the morning.

"It seems that the time to enter the spiritual realm is today"

He had breakfast, put on a mask and cap, and took a taxi to Lei Yibing's home.

The alley he lived in when he was a child is called Yinping Community. It was built half a century ago. Every residential building is mottled with time. The buildings are uniformly six-story. There is no elevator, and messy cables are wrapped around the wall. superior.

Zhang Yuanqing got out of the taxi and swept it casually. For more than ten years, except for the new paint on the outer wall, a guard box was added at the entrance of the community.

Nothing else has changed.

When he was in junior high school, there was talk of demolition in this area. Everyone waited and waited and waited. After waiting for almost ten years, the demolition team was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Yuanqing crossed the road and bought a bag of loquats, a pineapple, and three Katemans from the fruit shop across the street.

Walking up the cramped corridor, he stopped in front of No. 402 and rang the doorbell.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the door, the anti-theft door opened, a woman in her 40s stood at the door, and said in amazement:

"Yuanzi?"

She looked a little pale, with heavy dark circles under her eyes and a thin face.

"Aunt Zhou, I'm here to see you and Uncle Lei." Zhang Yuanqing said in a cute tone, sighing silently in his heart.

Aunt Zhou's eyes fell on the fruit in his hand, she showed a gratified smile, and said softly:
"come in."

The house has a layout of two bedrooms and one living room, more than 80 square meters. Zhang Yuanqing sat on the sofa in the living room, holding the warm water poured by Aunt Zhou, listening to her dark and sad narration.

"Aunt Zhou, I believe the Public Security Bureau will find Brother Bing." Zhang Yuanqing comforted.

"Your grandma came to see me a few days ago, and she said that Lao Chen told her that there is no news, which is good news." Aunt Zhou sighed, and she continued:

"Stay here for lunch."

"No, there's still class later." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.

When he was a child, he and Bingge were inseparable, and they often slept together at night, and it was even more common to spend time with each other, but today he will enter the spirit realm at any time, so try to shorten the time outside as much as possible.

"Aunt Zhou, I'll stay in Brother Bing's room for a while."

Zhang Yuanqing did not forget his purpose of coming here.

He pushed open the door of Brother Bing's bedroom. There were double beds, wardrobes, desks, and TVs in the small room. His eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally he pulled out a large cardboard box from under the bed.

There are miscellaneous things in the cardboard box, such as Xiaobawang game console, Tyrannosaurus rex machine, thunderbolt ball, yo-yo ball, binoculars, Water Margin hero card, wooden top, whistle, Dragon Ball comic book, "Sui Yang Emperor's Amorous History" author Qi Dong Savage.
Every little toy here has its own story, such as the telescope. There was a red light district near here in the past. When night fell, the hair salon would be lit up with blurred lights, and the aunts who dressed up enchantingly would sit in the shop. On the sofa, their graceful curves can be seen clearly through the glass door.

Once, Brother Bing, who was still in elementary school, quietly approached him, saying that he saw Zhang Yuanqing's uncle sneaking into the hair salon.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't believe it, so he went to find his uncle, who was shocked and gave him 20 yuan as a hush money.

Afterwards, Zhang Yuanqing and Brother Bing felt that the business was good while licking the popsicles.

So the two cubs squatted on the side of the road after school. This time, they didn't squat to their uncle, but to squat to Brother Bing's old father.

The old father turned pale with fright, and gave them more than ten yuan of hush money.

Later, the old father and uncle turned their backs and were never caught again, until one day, Zhang Yuanqing stole his aunt's pocket money to buy a telescope and observed secretly in the distance.

And earn the hush money again.

Therefore, the childhood of Bing Ge was sealed in the box, and Zhang Yuanqing's childhood was also sealed.

He stared blankly at his childhood toys, only to feel that time flies by and things change.

Why are you lamenting, you haven't reached the age of reminiscing about the past. He laughed at himself, and pushed back the flood of past events in his mind.

Then, he picked up the Amorous History of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and shook the pages of the book.

Amidst the sound of flipping through the pages of the book, a piece of paper fell out, with two strings of numbers densely written on it.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing let out a breath slowly, as if he had let go of the big stone in his heart.

The number on the note is a password that only the two brothers can understand.

Influenced by his grandfather, Zhang Yuanqing was obsessed with police movies, detective cartoons, and novels when he was a child, and fantasized that he was a powerful security officer.

When he was in middle school, he once read a well-known foreign detective novel with Brother Bing, and got inspiration from one of the cases, thinking that there could be no secret code between the great detective Zhang Yuanqing and his assistant A Bing.

So it took a lot of energy to develop a set of password formats.

For example, the first number corresponds to the number of lines, the second corresponds to the number of lines, and the third corresponds to the number of pages. Seven characters form a group, and the format of the second group of numbers is the reverse of the first group.
And the first time they played this game, the blueprint they used was "The Amorous History of Emperor Sui Yang".

Zhang Yuanqing recalled the password format and compared it with the books. Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally pieced together all the content.

The first line of numbers: Lu [-]; two brothers in one world

Second row of numbers: Motoko, find it, I left everything there.
