memory hole

I. Dake said. "I'm looking for Mi for lunch at noon." "

"Set the alarm clock yourself." Zhong Xian said.

"Hey? Where's the policeman? What happened last night? Did he find a woman?" Dake asked.

"No."

"Hey, why don't you find him one, everyone is the same guy, so you don't have to worry about it in the future."

"Unlucky guy. Feel guilty."

"Next time, you can find one for him first, and then work on yourself. It can be seen that he doesn't take my matter seriously. When did he leave?"

Zhong Xian didn't answer.Fall asleep.

Dake got up on time at ten o'clock.People who bathe, dress, and tidy themselves look like dogs.Zhong Xian was also awakened by him.Surprised how sleepy I was today.Get dressed and get ready to go home and go to bed.

"Deng Sir was with you last night, right?" Dake suddenly asked after finishing his hair in the mirror. "There are two glasses on the table."

"Yeah. We drank a bottle of IE cognac."

"Drinking in the room? What did you do?"

"Just drink."

"and then?"

"You are sick."

"You're dumber than me. I just realized you're together. You're catching black cats."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Sir Deng is the Black Cat Sheriff. You have to establish a deep friendship with him. It can be seen that he is quite fond of your style. At least with friendship, he will not do anything against us. What will you do next To deepen this friendship? Instigate him to become one of our own? Let him be our insider in the black cat? I have been with you for a long time, and I am familiar with your ways."

"Familiar. Do you think cops are the same as engineering guys?"

"As long as it is human beings, they are all the same. That's what you said."

[What time does it leave?]

When Zhong Xian left the hotel, he sent a message to Deng Yi.

Deng Yi didn't reply for a day.

Zhong Xian didn't take the initiative to look for him again.He contacted his classmates in middle school.In the group of classmates, I found Pierce, the drummer who was in the campus band together.

Pierce, whose real name is Pihou.In middle school, he was white and fat, and his voice was soft when he spoke, which was different from most boys.But he is a man who is prudent, and Zeng and Zhong Xian are very good friends.

"So you still remember me?" Pihou seemed surprised when he received Zhong Xian's call.His tone made no secret of his dissatisfaction. "I should be honored. Do you remember my name?"

"I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you? I often think of you and always miss you."

"Missing me? You can be false. You were the one who alienated me..."

"There is no estrangement. We all went to different universities. It is inevitable. I called to catch up with you. Is it convenient for you? How are you doing? I really miss it, especially because you still owe me money."

"You kid. Ha - I'm only looking for me now, alas." Pi Hou let out a long sigh.There was the sound of a chair moving over the phone.It seemed that he was looking for a convenient place to talk. "I'm in Guangzhou, buddy...not far from you."

"Do you still remember the campus band we played?" Zhong Xian said affectionately.

"What's 'that band', we have a name, okay. I still have the drums. What's the matter with you, bringing up the band on purpose to make me sad? Or do you want to do it again?"

"We're all so old."

"Not yet thirty, you're so old, you were just playing."

"You're as enthusiastic as ever. Do you remember who was in the band?"

"Except for you, keep in touch. Ah Diao also has a flying saucer, and the flying saucer has really created a music-related industry..."

"A Diao is the keyboard, do you remember who our guitarist is?"

"Isn't that you?"

"How do I remember that there seems to be another person? It seems to be Deng. I probably only went to rehearsal once, and then I didn't cooperate with us again."

"There is no such person. There is something wrong with your brain. There are only four members in the band who remember wrongly. You must have done it on purpose."

"I have a problem with my mind recently. I seem to have forgotten a lot of things."

Pihou paused for two seconds. "Are you sick?"

"Yeah. I have a memory disorder. I met a person who I always thought I knew before. His surname is Deng."

"There are four of us in the band. You, me, A Diao, UFO. It was just the four of us at the beginning, and we never thought of letting anyone else in. In order to continue playing in the band with you, we desperately went to the same city as you to go to college. After your sophomore year, you seemed to have disappeared from the world. I am a second idiot looking for you everywhere. What can't you tell me at that time?"

"I can't make out a sentence or two. Can you connect me with someone else?"

"Okay. Wait for everyone to kill you alive."

I got in touch with a few classmates.Including A Diao and UFO.

It is even more certain that Deng Yi cannot be a classmate in middle school, and there is no possibility of knowing him.

The scene in that dream had no reason.

It seems that his familiarity with Deng Yi did not come from the past.

In the evening, Zhong Xian contacted Deng Yi via WeChat.

Deng Yi replied: [The meeting was held for a day. ]

[Don’t you want to investigate something today? Your pony is always waiting to be called. ]

[Case dismissed. ]

[?]--[What does cancel mean?]

Deng Yi didn't reply for a long time.

Zhong Xian sent a series of question marks.I sent a few more messages to follow up.

---[Be clear,]--[Did Xiao Zhu find it?]---[Or did his parents withdraw the case?]

Deng Yi replied very late: [Yes.Xiao Zhu contacted his parents. ]

It seemed that Deng Yi didn't want to say another word.

Zhong Xian was puzzled.

Then he thought of another question.If Xiao Zhu's case is over, Deng Yi has no reason to see him again.

Zhong Xian drove around this area for a long time.

This is the Linhai Development Zone along Chuangye Road. The 'glass curtain wall falling incident' happened here at the HY construction site.

When he first got involved in this project, the two buildings on the construction site had just finished foundation construction, standing like a dinosaur skeleton on the empty suburban green space, waiting for people to continue to fill up its 'flesh'.

In the eyes of Zhong Xian at the time, this was really a piece of fat.

Now the construction has begun to take shape.Stylish and modern design - the two sub-buildings connect the two wavy arc-shaped buildings in the middle.The glass curtain wall of the entire building has been installed, and the whole body is light gray, shining in the morning sun.

Zhong Xian got up early in the morning and drove around the area.I want to see who has come and gone here in the past two days.Let's see what kind of impact that incident has had.

There were no press cars, and no police.

As he expected.Everything looks normal.Workers came in and out as usual, and the final stage of construction was not affected.It was not even apparent that an accident had occurred in the previous few days.There are a lot of people who don't want things to be magnified.The loss will be the entire chain of interests.He's just the easiest link in the chain to hide.

There is no need to mess yourself up because of this.

In front of the construction site, some people came out.Like a few inspectors from the supervision unit and the construction unit.The clothes are clean and tidy, completely different from the construction workers.They wear white or yellow or blue hard hats to indicate the different units they belong to.

The men parted at the door.Get in the car and leave.It seems that there should be a meeting just held in the internal meeting room of the construction site.

One of the last wave of people who came out caught Zhong Xian's attention.

The man was wearing a white hard hat.At this time, I was talking to a few people in front of the construction site.

Zhong Xian drove the car closer.Stop at the entrance of the construction site on a section of the road that is not open to traffic. (This is often considered a temporary parking lot for workers.)

Zhong Xian stared at the man's back through the car window.

After a while, the man finally turned his head and looked at the bell-shaped Grand Cherokee across several cars that had just started.

For a moment, both of them were surprised.

The clock string simply lowered the window.smile.

That's right.It's him.

A white hard hat shades his forehead, and he wears rimless glasses and a gray jacket.It doesn't seem particularly abrupt to mix among these people.But it was very different from usual.

Deng Yi was obviously even more surprised, staring at Zhong Xian's car for a while.Then he said something to the people around him, and then walked towards Zhong Xian's car.Unnaturally, he took off the helmet on his head.

Zhong Xian kept smiling.

But the heart is overturned.

Why did Deng Yi appear here?

Could it be that the construction party called the police for the glass curtain wall incident?

The light-colored clouds seem to have been painted over the entire sky with a gray brush.

Occasionally, there will be a burst of rain that seems to be absent.

This kind of rain is hard to see with the naked eye, and it is very comfortable to walk in it.

It's a pity that it's morning, and Zhong Xian doesn't have the mood to walk in the rain.

In this seaside area close to the Pearl River Estuary, there are no high-rise buildings connected to the city center. The sky is in a line with the gray sea water in the distance, which looks very open and low, and the air is slightly cool. There was a burst of relief in my heart.

He has not heard from Deng Yi for several days.Since Xiao Zhu's case was cancelled, he once felt that it would be difficult for them to have any intersection.

But now, on this cool morning, at this moment, in the place where they shouldn't have met, they have met.Like two lines intersecting again.

From the time of their first acquaintance, they were driven to meet and get to know each other again and again for a reason that should be taken for granted.It was as if there was a higher force repeatedly knocking the two puppets together.Until the collision sparks.

However, at this time, meeting at such a remote construction site, such a coincidence, can no longer be attributed to fate.

When Deng Yi approached, his steps were not light
