memory hole

Because the atmosphere seemed weird, Deng Yi didn't say anything right away.He was wearing a blue shirt today, which looked a bit like a police uniform. Zhong Xian looked carefully and found that it was actually just an ordinary shirt.

"You have a bad complexion." Deng Yi lowered his voice a lot, as if he only wanted Zhong Xian to hear, "Go for a review as soon as possible."

Zhong Xian showed a pleasant expression that he usually made a joke and said, "Thank you Sir for your concern. What else do you need?"

Deng Yi's face darkened, he had already felt the emotion behind Zhong Xian's politeness: "It's still about the case. You can consider letting your two subordinates go out, maybe you don't want them to listen."

Before Zhong Xian could make a statement, Dake spoke first, "Isn't it something we can't know about what you want to say? Aren't all the cases cancelled?"

"Listen together." Zhong Xian did not hesitate.

Deng Yi thought for a while: "I checked from Macau. Your colleague is right, Xiao Zhu is indeed not there."

The room was quiet, and Ou Hang said triumphantly: "Look. I'll just say it. I guessed right! How could he..."

"That's it?" Zhong Xian interrupted Ou Hang, his expression was a bit puzzled, as if Deng Yi had used a lot of energy to talk about a trivial matter. "Did he leave Macau again? Or what? I have to ask this time, what does it matter to me whether he is in Macau or somewhere else? You are so solemn to tell me."

"He might have changed jobs again." Dake put on an exaggerated expression of thought. "His virtue makes it difficult to stay in one place for a long time. After understanding his character, he is not willing to want him. However, as Mr. Zhong said, what does it have to do with us?"

Deng Yi was not polite: "You and your colleague, Dake, you both applied for visas to go to Macau half a year ago. And you really went there once."

Dake's expression looked extremely surprised.Ou Hang was also stunned. "What do you mean, officer, you don't doubt the two of them, right? It's impossible. Besides, it's normal to go to Macau. I'm a little confused... Xiao Zhu is not dead... Could he be dead?"

Compared with Dake's surprise, Zhong Xian showed an expression of indifference.

In fact, if I think about it carefully, I am very afraid. If Xiao Zhu is not in Macau, where did the letter sent from Macau come from?

Private detective

64

Everything looks unreal.

Zhong Xian felt like he was dreaming.

In fact, since he was discharged from the hospital last time, his mind has improved a lot.There is almost no dreaming anymore, the symptoms of forgetfulness seem to be lessened, and there is no recurring headache.

But everything in front of me is still so unreal.Xiao Zhu's disappearance is as hard to drive away as a ghost, and Deng Yi... These two things always make him feel weird.

He can still remember the appearance of Xiao Zhu, who looks like a traitor in a TV series—slim and petite, always wearing an ill-fitting suit that is one size larger than his actual size, with shoulder pads on his shoulders, like a The cloak, maybe he was trying to make himself look bigger.But the 'broad' shoulders, out of proportion to his short stature, made his head appear even smaller.His face is also thin and long, with a slapped face, and his hairstyle is always very old-fashioned. The bangs in the front cover his eyebrows, and his hair is black and sometimes a little greasy.

Zhong Xian completely recalled Xiao Zhu's appearance.It was as if seeing that person standing in front of him.

Every time we met in the office building, Xiao Zhu always smiled at him from a distance, with a hint of flattery in his enthusiasm.Zhong Xian doesn't hate him, but he never pays attention to him.

He's really too inconspicuous.Even as a talking point, it seems boring.

It is such an inconspicuous person who is disturbing Zhong Xian's life now.

As for Deng Yi, it seemed even more unreal.

He appeared out of nowhere.Hun exudes an aura that is different from this world.

A policeman, but not like a familiar policeman.

He seems to have come from a certain dream country, with some mission, no matter which quagmire he lands in, he has a bubble-like protective cover all over his body to keep him true and clean.His appearance seems to be to clean Zhong Xian's eyes, and let the latter discover that there is a different magnetic field in this world.

Zhong Xian keeps dreaming about the same person in the same scene. From the bottom of his heart, he thinks that he is longing for spiritual salvation, and hopes that someone exists in a certain place waiting to guide him.He forced himself to give up, but his subconscious was desperately reminding him, refusing to die.

Then Deng Yi appeared.

No one understood what this meant for the clock strings.Is it the chance given to him by fate, or is it his own fantasy.He actually preferred the latter.

He does not believe in any unknown powers from heaven.If you want to help him, why not earlier, in his childhood, adolescence or early youth.But when he was dying.

Therefore, he believed that it was his fantasy.It is a memorial song imagined by his spirit before his death.

Especially when Deng Yi refused to get closer... he even thought it was his fantasy.

How could a fantasy person be truly possessed by him.

Zhong Xian gradually felt that the existence of Deng Yi was suspicious.

"You guys go out first." Zhong Xian finally decided to have a private chat with Deng Yi.

Ou Hang stood up slowly from the reception chair, and glanced back at Dake.After being stunned for two seconds, Dake stood up from the sofa and walked straight to the door.

Deng Yi sat down on the reception chair in front of Zhong Xian's desk.

Zhong Xian threw his body back into the executive chair, and quietly looked at Deng Yi across the desk.They didn't speak for a while.

The high black backrest and reddish-brown solid wood armrests of the black leather class chair make Zhongxian seem to be trapped in a luxurious black shaker.He was wearing a black shirt with a silver trim collar, which made his pale face stand out even more.

"What you promised me, you didn't take it seriously." Zhong Xian spoke first.The tone is calm. "You don't have the slightest trust in me. You said that the case was cancelled, and it was false, didn't you? You probably wanted to see how I would react."

"Believe it or not, the case really doesn't exist anymore," Deng Yi said.

"So the reason you're continuing to investigate is..."

"As I said, there are doubts that cannot be ignored."

"You insist on investigating privately. Outside of your job?"

"Correct."

"It's obviously a case you don't like, and it can't bring you any benefits. If you have a chance to get rid of it, you just don't let it go." Zhong Xian smiled, and he always seemed calm.Because he could see that Deng Yi couldn't be calm.

Deng Yi pondered for a moment.

"You want me not to investigate?"

"What right do I have to interfere with you?" Zhong Xian said, "You have your style. It's just, why surround me. Why do you think his disappearance is related to me. I go to Hong Kong and Macau many times every year. Well, work or work, there are many reasons. I have nothing to do with Xiao Zhu's disappearance, please let me go."

"You haven't been to Macau or Hong Kong in the last six months. Why?"

"There was a little misunderstanding. Hong Kong Customs refused me for half a year. Now the time has passed. I can go anytime I want, even today. What does this prove?"

"What is the reason for being rejected from Hong Kong?"

“Half a year ago, there was a villa project in Hong Kong—it was the villa of my client—the owner of HHF Design Institute. I sent him a batch of Japanese paint. At that time, I frequently passed through Hong Kong and was regarded as a tourist. The customs asked me to change my business visa. .I use the Shenzhen household G visa, and I don’t plan to change it. I don’t have any major business dealings with Hong Kong at the moment, so I’d rather wait half a year.”

Deng Yi thought for a moment, turned on his mobile phone, pressed it a few times, and passed it to Zhong Xian from the table. Zhong Xian took the mobile phone and saw an online store with a weird style displayed on the screen. The upper half of the online store homepage was A few big dark gray characters—memory bug private investigation.

"What do you mean?" Zhong Xian looked at the phone suspiciously.

"this is mine."

"Your?" Zhong Xian carefully studied the introduction of the online shop, "Detective agency? Opened online? You are already a policeman, why do you open a detective agency in private? Are the cases in the police station not enough for you?"

Deng Yi's answer was not heard.Zhong Xian had to look up at him.

Deng Yi's expression showed hesitation.Zhong Xian is no stranger to this expression.There must be something that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Are you so keen on solving crimes?" Zhong Xian said with a smile. "Want to be Sherlock Holmes or something? I stopped thinking about it after high school."

Deng Yi's eyes became a little bitter.

"What kind of cases does the Internet detective agency mainly accept?" Zhong Xian tried to ask.

"It's not up to me to choose. I can't take any interesting cases." Deng Yi finally spoke. "It's more about marriage investigations, and... looking for people."

Zhong Xian was stunned.An idea popped into his head, and he opened his mouth wide.It took me a long time to break the long silence. "Why did you come to see me today?"

Deng Yi hesitated for a while before speaking: "I want to get to know you again."

Zhong Xian remained motionless, as if he was afraid that his reaction would frighten the other party's courage away.

"What I told you earlier was false." Deng Yi said.

"Which ones are fake?"

"I'm not a policeman." Deng Yi lowered his head, then raised it up quickly, looking at Zhong Xian.

Zhong Xian was not surprised. "You were."

"Correct."

"Not now."

"Correct."

"Your mother forced you to give up the police, and you gave up then."

"Correct."

"But you didn't want to give up and opened this online detective agency in private."

"Correct."

"So Xiao Zhu's case...is not
