sneak peek

Zeng's parents lived in the east of the city, and Zeng Tingyu lived in completely different directions, and it took more than half an hour to drive there.

Seeing that they finally came, Huang Jiade hurried over, "Gu, I've asked several times, and I think they really don't know where Zeng Tingyu is."

Gu Yexi: "How did the parents react?"

Huang Jiade sneaked a glance at the two people in the room, "Dad said, my son is a coward, if he can't do this kind of thing, he must have made a mistake. Mom said he is a good boy, he can't kill people without trampling ants to death." "

Gu Yexi nodded, looking over Huang Jiade's shoulders at the two elders.Zeng's father measured 1 meters by visual inspection. Although he has a small belly, his hands and feet are very slender. At first glance, he knew that he had a good figure when he was young.Mama Zeng was wearing plain clothes and she looked very peaceful. Although her face had many wrinkles and spots, she could still see that her facial features were very delicate. She was definitely a great beauty when she was young.

Gu Yexi entered the room and greeted the two elders with a smile and nodded. Father Zeng gave him an angry look, ran to the balcony to smoke, and refused to speak.

Mother Zeng smiled a little embarrassedly, "He has a bad temper, he is not usually like this."

Gu Yexi: "It's okay, well, how long have you been in touch with Xiaoyu?"

"I called him the day before yesterday, but I didn't contact him before."

"He has been living at home before, why did he move out suddenly?"

Mother Zeng smiled awkwardly, "He said that the family is relatively remote and it is inconvenient to go to work."

Gu Yexi: "What was he like in high school? Can you tell me?"

Mother Zeng: "He has been very good since he was a child. He studies very hard and studies well. But every time he takes the exam, he is too nervous, so he doesn't do well in the exam. But I know that he is very smart, and the teacher praised him so much. of."

Gu Yexi: "Then, how is his relationship with other classmates?"

Mama Zeng: "We have a very good relationship. He is very popular with his classmates and receives presents every year on his birthday."

Mo Wang was listening, and a lot of question marks surged in his heart. He felt that the person she described and the Zeng Tingyu they knew were two different people.

"Is there anything strange about him lately?"

Mother Zeng shook her head, "No."

Gu Yexi thought about it for a while, and said tactfully, "You know, did he ever get into trouble with other classmates when he was in high school?"

Zeng's mother didn't look surprised, but she didn't seem to know it long ago, it was more like she heard a joke, "Isn't it normal for children to be noisy?"

Gu Yexi: "Did he tell you?"

Mother Zeng shook her head, "There's nothing to say about these little things."

Gu Yexi glanced at the balcony and asked, "Have you ever beaten your husband?"

The smile on Zeng's mother's face faded a little, and she said in a slightly blunt tone: "No."

Gu Yexi lowered his voice, "We know, he beat him with a belt..."

Mother Zeng interrupted Gu Yexi, her eyes moved away slightly, "No. What are you asking these for?"

Gu Yexi changed the subject, "Now your son is completely out of contact, have you ever thought of where he might be?"

Mother Zeng: "I don't know."

Gu Yexi didn't ask any more questions, took a look at Mo Wang, and walked into the room opposite Zeng Tingyu.There are no pillows and quilts on the big bed. It seems that the bedding was put away after moving away.A large bookshelf is neatly filled with books, all of which are textbooks, tutorial books, exam papers, and even exercise books from elementary school to university.But there are no books that have nothing to do with school.

Gu Yexi: "Didn't Liang Jie say that Zeng Tingyu reads comic books? Why aren't there any here? I remember that there were none in his rented house."

Mo Wang: "Let's not talk about comics, there isn't even a single extra-curricular book in the bookcase, isn't that normal?"

The desk in the room was clean, nothing was placed, the drawers were not locked, and there were only scattered items and a photo album in it, all of which were photos of him when he was a child. In all the photos, Zeng Tingyu was in a book face.

I kept some clothes in the closet, except that the colors were all black, white and gray, nothing special.

Mo Wang said in a low voice, "Why does this room seem to have no personal belongings at all, like a dormitory for high school students. No, dormitories for high school students have more personality than this."

Gu Yexi agreed, "Well, indeed."

Huang Jiade: "Didn't he move away? Could it be that he took it to his new residence? Didn't you just go there?"

Gu Yexi shook his head, "There are not many personal belongings there, and most of them are after his work. What about the ones before that? What about the ones from high school and college?"

Mo Wang: "Throw it away? Put it away?"

Gu Yexi looked around the room, but didn't see any storage boxes. The house is not big, and it doesn't seem like there are any utility rooms.He touched his chin and said, "I think maybe he has never had any personal belongings. You look at the room, and there is nothing but sleeping and studying. This may be his entire student days."

Huang Jiade: "No way, it's so miserable?"

Gu Yexi looked at the time, it was already very late, although Zeng Tingyu hadn't been found yet, the people who might be hurt had already been protected.He arranged for two police officers to stay at Zeng's parents' house, and also arranged for police officers to stay at Zeng's rental house, just in case Zeng showed up suddenly.At the same time, Yan Fangfang was closely monitored, and perhaps he would take the initiative to contact him.The others let them go back to rest first, and continue to search for him tomorrow.

When I got home, it was already late at night, and Gu Yexi was extremely tired, but couldn't sleep.Before he went back, he asked Meng Ning to sort out Zeng Tingyu's detailed information for him.He typed it all out, stared at the thick stack of papers, and decided to go over and harass his new neighbor.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Mo Wang immediately opened the door, "Captain Gu, I heard you this time."

Gu Yexi suppressed her smile and nodded, thinking, this elementary school student is really frightened by me.

Mo Wang was a little nervous. He was just about to take a shower when Gu Yexi knocked on the door. He thought, fortunately, if it was a second late, something embarrassing might happen again.

Gu Yexi sat on Mo Wang's chair generously, and put the stack of documents on the dining table with a snap, "Come, come, let's study this Zeng Tingyu."

Mo Wang casually picked up the top one, which was about his work experience.Zeng Tingyu has been working in a company for three years after graduating. The salary position is not mentioned, and it is still the salary of the graduates back then. No wonder as a programmer, he lives in such a cheap urban village.Reasons for leaving are generic reasons: personal reasons.But Meng Ning marked a line of fine print: I contacted my former colleagues. The actual reason was that I couldn’t communicate normally with my colleagues, which resulted in the completed work and needs not matching at all. It was not very serious before. The team leader helped him. This time it happened to be a big Pot, was fired.

Mo Wang couldn't help but said: "I haven't raised my salary for three years. Is it too much?"

Gu Yexi didn't even raise his head, "With Zeng's personality, he's not good at communication, so he didn't dare to mention it, and the company didn't plan to take the initiative to mention it to him, so that's how it was."

Mo Wang: "By the way, when I heard Zeng's mother talk about him this afternoon, I felt completely different from the Zeng Tingyu we knew. How could this be?"

Gu Yexi handed him a report card, "Zeng Tingyu, no matter how high or low the test is, the teacher's evaluation of him is to praise him for his quietness, which has nothing to do with being smart and hardworking. As for the relationship between classmates, Meng Ning also inquired, and more than half of the people couldn't remember who he was. All they remembered was that he was called Shorty Winter Melon. Even the head teacher remembered him for a long time. The family members may not know their child, or that It's just the fact that Mama Zeng thought it was wishful thinking."

Mo Wang: "Looking at Zeng's mother's reaction today, it should be true that Zeng Tingyu was abused by her father. But Zeng's mother seems to love children very much and is very gentle. Why didn't Zeng regard her as her protector? "

Gu Yexi took the information and hit Mo Wang, "Isn't it obvious? She was on the side of Zeng's father. When her son was beaten, she would not stop her. From Zeng Tingyu's point of view, mother is not Instead of protecting yourself, you are cowardly."

Mo Wang touched the place where he was beaten: "So, you think he will kill his father?"

Gu Yexi scratched his stomach and said: "Zeng Tingyu's belt injury must have been caused by his father. His grades are not good, he is always stuck in the middle, and he often gets beaten when he goes home. He is bullied by his classmates at school. He dare not Tell the teacher, because the one who hit him is a child with good grades, he knows the teacher will protect them; he can't go home and tell his parents, because the mother thinks it's a child playing around and doesn't take it seriously; the father will think he didn't If he is beaten, he will be scolded even more. He becomes more and more introverted, the easier he is to be bullied, the worse his grades are, the more he will be beaten by his family. No matter what he does or how hard he tries, his father always feels that he is doing something wrong. I don’t have enough, and I’m dissatisfied with him. I thought that what he resented was his classmates who bullied him, but now it seems that the deepest resentment should be his parents. They were supposed to protect him, but at the same time, they hurt him He is deeper. In his world, there is only one person who protects him and loves him, and that is Yan Fangfang. This is why he has survived for so many years. When he was unemployed, he didn’t know that Yan Fangfang was going to get married. At that time, he hadn’t given up. Moved out, wanted to stay away from his parents, and planned to start over. But after knowing that Yan Fangfang was going to get married, he felt that he had lost everything and was hopeless, so he started the road of revenge. I don’t know who his next target is, but now Whether it is a classmate or a parent, we are all watching, as long as he appears, we can't run away."

Mo Wang nodded, "Yes."

After that, the two sat quietly for a while, looking at Zeng Tingyu's information.He seems to have been excluded since elementary school, and was beaten by his classmates when he entered high school. His father lost his job in high school, and he has been doing casual work since then, either not at home for three months, or staying at home for three months.My mother works as a waiter in a restaurant, and the two often don't see each other when they work night shifts.He studied in a university in the city, and his parents did not let him go to school for accommodation, so Zeng Tingyu took the bus for an hour to go to school every day.This also led to his unfamiliarity with most of his classmates, making it more difficult to socialize at school.After graduation, Zeng Tingyu still lived at home. It was not until Yan Fangfang returned to China that he started looking for a house and planned to move out.Meng Ning also called the owner of the closed coffee shop that Yan Fangfang and Zeng Tingyu often went to. The owner said that he remembered that they had indeed been there before closing. I fell and ran away. Yan Fangfang kept saying sorry to the shopkeeper and insisted on paying hundreds of dollars.

Mo Wang was engrossed in reading the information, and Gu Yexi kicked him lightly, so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"Ok?"

Gu Yexi blinked and blinked, "I'm hungry. Let me see your pile of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, bread machine oven, show your hand?"

Mo Wang was stunned for a moment, and obediently entered the kitchen.

After a while, Gu Yexi heard the sound of rummaging through things in the kitchen, and then there was a "clang", something fell to the ground, followed by the violent banging of the spatula and the pot.

Gu Yexi: Is this little curly hair making supper or killing people?

When a burning smell hit Gu Yexi's nose, he finally couldn't help it, and walked into the kitchen suspiciously.

Somehow, the pot caught fire, and there was a lump of black stuff fried in it, and a puddle of sauce was sprinkled on the ground, and Mo Wang was frantically dealing with the scene.

Gu Yexi immediately put the lid on the pot, "Are you making supper or planning to set fire?"

Mo Wang waved his hands in panic, "No, no, no, I..."

Gu Yexi glanced at the bottles and cans and various cooking utensils in the kitchen. They were all clean as if they had just left the factory. Some of the sauce bottles hadn't even opened the plastic seal, and finally understood, "If you dare, you can You don’t know how to cook, so your 8 uncles forced these on you?”

Mo Wang's ears turned red, and he lowered his head slightly in embarrassment: "Yes."

While cleaning up the scene, Gu Yexi said angrily, "Then you didn't say it just now?"

Mo Wang: "I, I thought it would be easy to cook noodles."

Gu Yexi didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, and said helplessly, "All right, let me come, you go out."

Mo Wang rolled up his sleeves, "I can help."

Gu Yexi rolled his eyes, "What can you do for me? Light me up?"

Mo Wang didn't know where he was thinking, his ears turned red, "No, I, I can wash vegetables."

Gu Yexi: "Do you have food at home?"

Mo Wang: "No..."

Chef Gu said like a toothache: "You'd better go out."

After supper, Mo Wang actively proposed to do the dishes in order to prove that he could do things.

Gu Yexi rolled his eyes, "This is your home, if you don't wash it, why should I?"

Mo Wang felt that he was stupid tonight.
