his substitute

On the way to Yuan Fei Community, Xun Musheng's brows became more and more sullen.Just now, he had contacted Xu Cheng and Zhou Chenzhong.Xu Cheng was currently attending a car exhibition in other places, and he was shocked when he heard the news. Although Zhou Chenzhong was in Zhongcheng, he seemed unaware of Chi Yu's sudden disappearance.

Xun Musheng fell into an unrelieved panic, all kinds of unoptimistic guesses kept coming and going in his mind, making him upset.

Wang Ke was already waiting outside the gate of the community, along with the anxious landlord.Xun Musheng took the key and ran to the apartment where Chi Yu lived. The key made two heavy "clicks" in the keyhole, and the two locks were opened one by one.Xun Musheng pushed the door open, and the anti-theft door banged against the wall, almost being bounced back.Wang Ke followed and shouted, "Mr. Xun!"

Xun Musheng's ears were buzzing, and all the sounds became harsh noises.He first rushed into the kitchen, then ran to the bedroom, then broke into the bathroom and study, and finally strode from the living room to the balcony.Every time I searched for a place, my chest tightened a little, and when I punched the iron fence of the balcony, my lungs almost burst.

In this semi-new and not old house, there is no place without the breath of life.

There was yogurt in the refrigerator that was still in its expiration date, but the lettuce and green beans were a little wilted, and the dried tofu gave off a slightly sour smell. It had been stored for about two or three days, and there was no time to cook it in the future, and there was no time to throw it away.

On the counter in the kitchen, there is still half a jug of water in the transparent electric kettle, and the water glass is placed aside.The stove is wiped clean, and if you look carefully, you can still see some traces of wiping on the black steel mirror.

A small blanket spread out on the sofa in the living room, the remote control of the TV was caught in the crack of the sofa, and a book on how to make coffee was turned upside down on the coffee table, and the opened page was drawn with a blue gel pen Taking notes, the gel pen fell on the floor, but the cap was still on the coffee table.

The study room is the neatest, but the bedroom is much messier, the quilt is lifted, and the pillow is tilted to the side.When Chi Yu left, he probably searched for something in the bedroom.

Xun Musheng opened the closet, his pupils shrank rapidly.

Although they haven't lived together for a long time, he probably knows more about Chi Yu's autumn and winter clothes than Chi Yu herself.Now there are two down jackets missing in the space where the coat is hung!

"Mr. Xun!" Wang Ke's voice came from the study, "I can't find my bank card, ID card and household registration!"

Xun Musheng rushed over, only to see that the study had been turned upside down by Wang Ke and the landlord, and he had also checked the bedside table and all the drawers in the bedroom not long ago.No, all documents and cards are gone!

What disappeared together was the medicine prescribed by Zhou Chenzhong!

For a moment, Xun Musheng felt cold sweat dripping down his back. Panic was like an inflated balloon, and a bang hit him, shaking his head so badly.

The signs of staying in the house indicated that Chi Yuying hurriedly packed the necessary luggage and left suddenly.

But why?

Xun Musheng supported the wall of the study with one hand, his brain seemed to be scorched by a raging fire, as if it was making the sound of dry wood being cracked.

His eyes were red and he was panting heavily, unable to figure out why.

She was fine the day before yesterday, why did she leave suddenly?

He also had a phone call with Chi Yu the night before.At that time, at that time...

He let out a painful roar, and punched hard on his forehead with his right hand.

For nearly half a year, Xun Musheng felt that he was slowly prying open Chi Yu's shell.Chi Yu indulged him approaching again and again, and this time when they parted at the airport, he even kissed Chi Yu after a long absence.

Chi Yu's cheeks turned red quietly, his eyes dodged a little, his eyelashes fluttered, his heart went numb with that appearance, and he even wanted to tear off his boarding pass and forget about any company or business.

"Be careful on the road." Chi Yu gently pushed him, and he regained consciousness, and quickly responded, "You too, don't freeze. I'm not here, so I can't pick you up from get off work these days, but I arranged for a driver ..."

"No need." Chi Yu shook his head, "This month, I work early and get off work at 2 pm. I can go back by myself, so don't trouble others."

"No trouble." Xun Musheng still wanted to insist, but when he saw Chi Yu's eyes, he suddenly became dumb, "If you really don't want to..."

"It's okay if you come to pick me up." Chi Yu said, "But I'm not used to it with another person."

Xun Musheng was taken aback for a moment, and after digesting the words, he was immediately elated and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you! Wait until I come back to pick you up!"

Chi Yu sighed, and said indifferently, "See you later."

Xun Musheng helped him straighten the scarf, and he was even more reluctant, "I call you every night, remember to answer it."

"Yeah." Chi Yu nodded, "But you have to call early, I have an early shift, and I can't get up when I go to bed late."

Xun Musheng was overly excited, and consciously took these words as "acting like a baby", and was so happy that he restless on the plane for two hours.

Every night, he called Chi Yu as scheduled, sometimes at 8 o'clock, sometimes at 10 o'clock, anyway, it would never exceed 11 o'clock.

The topics are nothing more than how we are today, what the weather is like, what we eat for three meals, and whether we are squeezed and frozen on the road.Chi Yu's voice sounded the same as usual, and he answered what he asked, and sometimes asked him if he was busy or tired.If he didn't take the initiative to say "good night", Chi Yu would not hang up the phone.

This is probably also Chi Yu's indulgence to him.

But even though he was reluctant, he always stopped the call at the right place, said "good night" gently, and Chi Yu replied "good night, rest early" in the same gentle voice.

The last call was the night before yesterday at 8 o'clock, and I hung up at 8:57.

That morning he had a wind blowing, his nose was a little uncomfortable, and his head was dizzy, but he took the medicine in time and he was fine in the afternoon.

But before making the call, he had a bad idea. As soon as he got through, he coughed weakly twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you gone home?"

Chi Yu asked without answering, "Do you have a cold?"

The corners of his lips couldn't be suppressed at all, but he tried his best to lower his voice, "Well, it's okay, it will be fine in a few days, cough cough..."

Chi Yu said earnestly, "Is it serious? Have you taken your medicine? Do you want to get an infusion?"

He pretended to be terminally ill, "I miss you so much."

Did you think of me?

Chi Yu probably lost his mind, so he paused for a while before saying, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Shall we go eat barbecue again? This time I will roast it for you." He said weakly, and coughed several times.

"Wait until you've recovered from your cold."

"As soon as I see you, my cold will be cured immediately."

"..."

"I'll show it to you the day after tomorrow."

Chi Yu couldn't say no, so he had to tell him to seek medical treatment in time, drink plenty of hot water, keep warm, and don't get too tired.He listened to it very well, and his heart was already overjoyed, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he had no choice but to obediently agree.

When the chat was almost over, he prepared to say "good night" as usual, but Chi Yu said: "The mall will hold an event the day after tomorrow, and the bookstore is also participating. We will get it at 6 o'clock when we go to the morning shift. I want to go to bed early tomorrow night."

Xun Musheng thought for a while, "I have a party tomorrow night."

It's over at least 11 o'clock.

"You are busy with your work, I may go to bed at 9 o'clock tomorrow night." Chi Yu said.

Xun Musheng was a little depressed, but considering that they would meet soon anyway, he felt relieved, "Okay, then you go to bed early tomorrow, and I won't call you. I will come to you directly the day after tomorrow."

If he knew that Chi Yu would disappear, he wouldn't go to the big party.

"What's going on?" Ye Fenglin also rushed over, "Chi Yu is missing?"

Xun Musheng asked his friends from the public security system to help him find Chiyu's whereabouts, but they found nothing for the time being.

Thinking about it, Chi Yu used to be in the A-level special forces, and if he really wanted to disappear, no one would be able to find him.

But he still couldn't figure out why Chi Yu left suddenly.

"Don't worry, Brother Qiao's people have already been released." Ye Fenglin said: "There will be news."

Xun Musheng seemed to have suddenly been haggard for several years, shaking his head in despair, "No, no..."

It's not a question of whether they can be found or whether there will be news, but why Chi Yu left.

Is it because you are bored?Still don't want to see him?

But if that was the case, why would Chi Yu accept his company?Smile at him softly?I was also concerned about whether he had a cold, and anxiously told him to take medicine and infusion...

Those words, that look and tone, are absolutely not fake.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Chi Yu really bothered him, he could have said it out, why would he just walk away without saying a word?

Even "there will be an event in the mall the day after tomorrow" is not a lie. He contacted the bookstore and learned that according to regulations Chi Yu should arrive before 6:[-] am, but there was no sign of anyone.

No one knows where Chi Yu went.

"Mr. Xun, have you ever lived here?" Wang Ke shouted from the bathroom.

Xun Musheng was startled, and walked quickly to the bathroom.

How could he have lived here before, Chi Yu didn't even invite him to sit up for a while.

After Wang Ke finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

There were two toothbrushes on the sink, one on the left and one on the right. He preconceived that one of them belonged to Xun Musheng, so he howled out of nowhere.After howling, you know it's bad—who said that the toothbrush must belong to Xun Musheng?

But it was too late to recover, as soon as Xun Musheng entered the bathroom, his eyes fell on the two left and right toothbrushes.

Wang Ke looked at his frowning brows and thought, "It's over, it's over, this time it's really over."

When he first entered the room, Xun Musheng had been to the bathroom, but he just hurriedly removed the plastic bath cloth and didn't check other items carefully. At this moment, he was staring at the light blue toothbrush, his eyes suddenly changed, and after a while, he was full of jealousy.

How could he not remember that toothbrush?

That was the only night he stayed in Chi Yu's previous home, Chi Yu gave him a toothbrush.

He thought that Chi Yu had already thrown away this useless thing, but he didn't expect Chi Yu to bring it to his new home and put it where he could see it every day!

Pain bursts in the temples, and the unspeakable sourness bursts in the internal organs.

It was summer when Chi Yu moved here, and at that time he was still a jerk, he didn't think through many things, he didn't even straighten out his mind, he only dared to follow Chi Yu like a thief, without showing any attachment.

But at that time, Chi Yu left behind his used toothbrush!

No need to think about the reason.

Chi Yu cared about him, this caring was far beyond his imagination.

The chest pain was unbearable, and he suddenly remembered that when Chi Yu was not discharged from the hospital, the nurse sent a note with childish handwriting, which wrote many items that should be discarded.He rushed home angrily, intending to do so, but in the end he kept all the things related to Chi Yu by mistake.

As for Chi Yu, he left behind his toothbrush.

Chi Yu asked him to throw away his things, but secretly left behind his toothbrush.

Wang Ke stepped aside extremely nervously, not knowing why he was holding a toothbrush, his shoulders trembling in shock.Ye Fenglin guessed that the toothbrush was unusual, so he walked to the living room silently, motioning for Wang Ke to come too.

In the bathroom, only Xun Musheng was left.

After a long time, Xun Musheng leaned against the smooth bricks, slowly fell to the ground, buried his head in his arms, and let out a heavy sigh.

At night, neither Qiao Yang's people nor the police found Chi Yu's trace. Only a bank card showed that Chi Yu withdrew 11 yuan from the ATM several times at 34:2 p.m. the night before.

When Xun Musheng came out of the city bureau, his footsteps were flimsy and precarious.

A day later, still no news.In the evening, Li Xiao suddenly appeared.

Xun Musheng had an impression of her, but this impression was very bad. He didn't know what her purpose was when she came here at this time, and he didn't think she had anything to do with Chi Yu's disappearance.

Li Xiao's hair was a little messy, and she spoke very fast: "I know where Brother Yun is."

Xun Musheng caught his breath and stood up abruptly.

Li Xiao's face was pale and her lips were trembling, "But before I tell you, you have to promise me one thing!"
