The address of Honghe Decoration Company is on Honghe Road, Changqing District, very close to the main commercial street of Changqing. The activities of the company's employees are basically on Honghe Road and Changqing Street. These two places are densely populated with many shops and residential areas. Under normal circumstances, they will not accept decoration orders that are too far away, and they are too busy with orders from Guanghonghe Road and Changqing Street.

Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti were walking on the sidewalk, Tang Zhe followed. The last time the three of them went to the scene like this was when they went to Su Ai’s house. One was a young male college student, one was a social elite, and the other was The middle-aged sloppy uncle, Wen Ti became one of them four months later, Chu Xingmu is not as sloppy as before, and Tang Zhe is not as frizzy as before.

After walking for a while, Wenti couldn't help asking Chu Xingmu: "I don't need to follow the disappearance case, right? My strength is to help you identify whether the murderer's mental state is abnormal."

Chu Xingmu said: "As soon as Xia Ci mentioned the renovation of Honghe, you thought of Honghe Road, so I asked you to come here."

Wen Ti said: "That's because Li Xiaowen's music room is in charge of the Honghe Decoration Company. I saw the construction sign of their construction team on the stairs of the studio."

"The missing person is a member of their company's home improvement construction team, who is the same age as you, Xiao Tang added."

Tang Zhe followed and added: "The name of the missing decorator is Song Yan. He is 20 years old this year. His hometown is in Chang'an District. Both parents live in Chang'an District. Song Yan joined Honghe Decoration Company about three months ago."

"The co-rental worker is his hometown. Song Yan dropped out of junior high school and has been working in Chang'an District before. He only came to Changqing District in the second half of this year. So far, he has learned so much."

"How do you determine that Song Yan is missing?"

Chu Xingmu said: "It depends on how the reporter proves that he is missing."

The three of them first went to Honghe Decoration Company. The person who reported the case was Song Fangguo, 42 years old. Song Yan was working in a decoration company, and Song Yan was waiting for work at home. Song's father asked Song Fangguo to take care of Song Yan. Song Fangguo agreed when he saw that Song Yan was still honest. They were not in Changqing District, so Song Yan moved to Song Fangguo's rented house.

"I know his father very well. His father asked me to take care of the child more. During the three months of work, I didn't make any major mistakes except for a few unhappiness with a few customers. We came home from work yesterday afternoon. Halfway He said he was going to buy a few lottery tickets and let me go back first, but he didn't come back all night." Song Fangguo, Chu Xingmu and others were sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the company, Song Fangguo said with a worried face.

Chu Xingmu asked: "Song Yan is an adult, it's normal not to go home all night, how can you conclude that he is missing instead of lost?"

Song Fangguo sighed and said, "Oh, I called him last night, and his cell phone was still turned off this morning. Song Yan is different from others. That kid is not very smart, so he is a fool."

Song Fangguo pointed to his head and said: "When I was a child, I fell from the roof and fell stupidly. His brain reacted a little slow, and he worked very neatly. But he was easy to miss and his memory was not good. He knew the way and would not get lost. , the boy is quite handsome."

Chu Xingmu didn't expect this level, no wonder Song Fangguo was in a hurry to report the case, "I didn't ask him if he is handsome, does he have other friends in Changqing District?"

Song Fangguo shook his head and said, "Probably not. He is familiar with people in our company. I have asked all the people in the company and they all said that I have never met him. I have also searched the places he frequents and found nothing."

Tang Zhe asked: "When was the last time you contacted him?"

"Yesterday at four o'clock in the afternoon, we came out of the owner's house. He said he was going to buy a lottery ticket, so I let him go. I went back to the company and called him. He hung up on me. .”

"When? What are you going back to the company for?"

"After five o'clock in the afternoon, the captain of our home decoration team asked me to come back and count the home decoration materials used today. I thought that he was familiar with the Honghe Road area. He bought a lottery ticket and went home by himself. It happened that the captain asked us to drink. "

"How long have you been drinking?"

"At ten o'clock, I called him after eight o'clock, but his mobile phone was turned off, and I returned home after ten o'clock."

"Where did you find Song Yan's wallet?"

"At the door of our rental house, there are still a few lottery tickets. He often takes out his wallet and shakes it. I recognize it."

Tang Zhe showed Song Fangguo's transcript to Chu Xingmu, and Chu Xingmu asked, "Where is Song Yan's wallet?"

"Here." Song Fangguo took out a brown wallet from his jacket pocket, and gave Chu Xingmu a one-inch photo, "This is Song Yan."

Chu Xingmu took the photo and glanced at it, "He's pretty handsome, with a bald head?"

Song Fangguo shook his head and said, "This was taken in the past, but it is similar to mine now."

Wen Ti looked at the top of Song Fangguo's head, as if it was no different from a bald head.

Chu Xingmu endured his impatience and asked: "Do you know what a recent photo is? You give me a photo of seventeen or eighteen years old and look for a 20-year-old boy. We will make you a big living person out of thin air?"

Tang Zhe asked: "Do you still remember what he was wearing yesterday?"

"Our company's uniforms, and sweaters and pants, I took him to buy two days ago, I remember..." When Song Fangguo was talking, he saw that Chu Xingmu looked at him with unfriendly eyes, and silently closed his mouth.

Tang Zhe: "..."

Wen Ti pushed Chu Xingmu, looked at Song Fangguo and said with a smile: "Can you describe it in detail? It is difficult to find Song Yan with only an old one-inch photo. We need more detailed physical characteristics."

Song Fangguo suddenly realized that he was probably afraid that his description would not attract enough attention from the police, so he began to look through Song Yan's photos in the album, and Chu Xingmu told Tang Zhe: "Contact Song Yan's family."

Song Fangguo showed the photo to Chu Xingmu, and Chu Xingmu was about to go back to the bureau. Song Fangguo hurriedly followed and asked, "Captain Chu, can the case be filed now? When can we find him? His mother is sick and still in the hospital The day before yesterday, he bought a lottery ticket and won 1000 yuan, and sent it back to his family on the same day, Song Yan is not very smart, but she is very filial."

Chu Xingmu turned to look at Song Fangguo, and said, "Take his ID card and proof of relationship and go to the Public Security Bureau with Officer Tang, and wait for his family members to come and fill out the form."

Song Fangguo nodded and trotted to ask for leave from the leader. Chu Xingmu stopped him and asked, "Wait, where did you renovate yesterday?"

Song Fangguo said: "The owner of Huaxi Garden on Changqing Street knows us, and we installed a music room for him some time ago."

Chu Xingmu's eyelids twitched, and Wen Ti said, "Li Xiaowen's family is not on Changqing Street."

"Go back and ask."

Chu Xingmu handed Song Yan's wallet to Tang Zhe, and said to Tang Zhe: "Let Xiaobai and the others pay attention to the recent missing persons and hospital records, especially young people with mental illness and mental retardation, and then notify the subordinate police station. , If anyone meets the characteristics, report it immediately, and this wallet, take it back and check the contents, see if there are any suspicious clues on it, then call out Song Yan's call records, and take two people to Song Yan's place to check check."

Tang Zhe took back his notebook and went to wait for Song Fanguo. Wen Ti followed Chu Xingmu out of the company. He asked, "Where are we going now?"

"In the southern suburbs of the city, is the housing price of Huaxiyuan high?"

Wen Ti was puzzled and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Chu Xingmu said: "It's very close to your studio, if you move here, you won't be so tired."

Wen Ti understood what he meant, raised her hand to show Chu Xingmu his watch, and said, "The down payment is already on my hand, will you really not lose everything if you buy a house again? Besides, I'm just staying here temporarily."

"It's only been three months. I'm afraid you won't live long enough. I'd be happy to live another 30 years."

Wen Ti looked at Chu Xingmu's serious look but didn't know what to say, he would move out from Chu Xingmu's house sooner or later.

Chu Xingmu felt that he would go bankrupt at any time in Wen Ti's eyes, and Captain Chu said optimistically, "How do you know how much you earn if you don't spend money?"

Wen Ti's studio is on Changqing Street. The closer to the commercial area, the higher the housing price, the more people there are, and the relative security will be better. He was wondering where Song Yan went before he disappeared. If he got lost, he would have passed After spending the whole night and there are patrol police at every intersection, no matter how stupid Song Yan is, he will not be so stupid that he will not even ask for directions. Could it be that something happened to him?

"The weirdest thing about this case is the wallet. Song Fangguo said that Song Yan didn't come home. How could the wallet appear at their door for no reason? If Song Yan came home, he disappeared for another night. The documents in the wallet Same thing."

"So the possibility of Song Yan being robbed is ruled out?"

"It cannot be ruled out that Song Yan is mentally handicapped. According to Song Fangguo's description of Song Yan, even if someone robs him, he may not be able to react for a while. Some robbers may not necessarily steal money."

Wen Ti said: "Song Yan's disease should be juvenile dementia."

"Youth dementia?" Chu Xingmu rarely showed a dazed expression, "There is such a thing as juvenile dementia?"

Wen Ti explained, "Youth dementia is a kind of progressive cognitive function degeneration caused by brain injury or disease in young people, and the degree of degeneration is much higher than the normal aging rate. The onset of Alzheimer's disease is mostly The elderly and young people with dementia are mostly teenagers, and the pathological etiology of these two diseases is different, and the harm is also different."

While absorbing knowledge, Chu Xingmu also asked Wen Ti: "How do you know so much about these diseases?"

Wen Ti said: "When Mr. Zhong taught me how to read, he used his professional books as a model."

In fact, he knew these things at a very young age, and he gradually understood them after he learned a lot.

Chu Xingmu remembered that he saw a few books in English in Wen Ti's lounge, "I remember you can understand English."

"It was also taught by Mr. Zhong. He taught me to sing English nursery rhymes. After I was five years old, my life was like a normal child's life. I read, read, and learned etiquette. He also took me to other patients and listened to them. Strange stories and the world outside the mental hospital, I also fell over my head when I was a child, but luckily I didn’t break my brain.”

Chu Xingmu raised his hand to circle Wen Ti's head, and asked, "Where did you fall?"

"The back of the head, what a big bag."

Chu Xingmu touched the back of Wen Ti's head, "How did you fall?"

"Pushed off the treatment table by the doctor and bumped into the instrument box, Zhong Minglou hit the doctor on the head with a cane when he found out. No one in Nanjia would dare to offend King Lear." Wen Ti laughed a few times, and he When I said this, I was not very angry, but as if I was recalling some happy things.

Chu Xingmu looked at Wen Ti again with those deep eyes. Wen Ti always felt that he was planning something in his heart. Anyway, every time he heard what Wen Ti said, he seemed to be very angry, even more angry than he who experienced it. Wen Ti said, " Let’s not mention this, Song Yan’s mother was sick and needed medical expenses urgently in the hospital, so he sent home the money from the lottery winning the day before yesterday, and went to buy lottery tickets again yesterday. Maybe he wanted to use the winning lottery to collect medical expenses for his mother, which shows that Song Yan’s The intellectual defect is not that serious, he may just react slower than normal people, and he will definitely ask for help if he encounters danger."

Chu Xingmu said: "Ordinary disappearance cases are not investigated. Song Yan is a disabled person. Now I don't know whether Song Yan has gone home or gone to find friends. Let Xiaobai and Xiaotang pay attention first. Now go to Shinan."

"Is it because someone entered the old yard last night?"

"Well, people or ghosts will always show their feet."

Xia Ci and Qi Shaocheng rushed to the scene, and He Zhang called them early in the morning, saying that someone entered He Xiao's house last night, and asked him if he had seen who it was, and he said no. One time, in order to unlock the gate outside the old courtyard, Qi Shaocheng planned to pick the lock directly, but Xia Ci stopped him. He didn't have any evidence or suspicious places, so he rashly picked the lock of others. In case He Xiao suddenly came back to complain to them He was really frightened by the suburban residents for breaking into the house without the consent of the head of the household.

"Zhao Chen was assigned two keys, one at our place and the other at the police station. The people at the police station didn't lock the door when they went back yesterday?" Qi Shaocheng asked when he saw the rusty iron lock hanging on the door bolt.

"The people at the police station said they locked the door before leaving. There are many children around here. If they run into it by mistake, the parents will have to call the police like crazy."

"Could it be that He Xiao is back? Knowing that something happened at home, come back and have a look."

"We have been searching for two days. Have you found any trace of He Xiao? The only thing we know is that a mother and son lived in this yard more than ten years ago, and now I don't know where they moved."

"I can't find the household registration information?"

"I didn't find it in Changqing District, maybe he moved his residence a long time ago, looking for a needle in a haystack, but we can't even find it in the haystack." Qi Shaocheng cursed discouragedly.

"If there is no sea, just change him into a sea. What's the use of complaining."

As soon as Qi Shaocheng turned his head, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti came over from the small path, and Xia Ci asked, "Is it over there?"

"I asked Xiao Tang to take me to the bureau, do you know who went in?"

Qi Shaocheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, this place is not monitored, the grass inside is half the height of a person, and the lock is opened with a key."

Chu Xingmu made a joke: "I don't believe that ghosts can be more guilty than people."

He opened the door bolt and pushed the iron gate open. There are three houses in the north of the yard. The upper floor should be an attic, and the east and west sides should be garages. , Yellow weeds grew wildly along the cement joints. When we were surveying the site before, someone cleared a road leading to the main house. Chu Xingmu raised his foot and was about to go in. He turned around and told Wen Ti: "You are here Wait for us to come out."

Wen Ti took the initiative to stand aside to make way for Xia Ci and Qi Shaocheng, and Qi Shaocheng said, "I will go and visit with Wen Ti."

Xia Ci kicked Qi Shaocheng in: "I have seen many dead people and I am afraid of reptiles. Wen Ti's clothes are expensive, and Old Chu dare not wash them casually. He was not asked to wait outside."

Qi Shaocheng said "ah", "Boss lives with Wen Ti?"

Wen Ti nodded slightly as an answer to Qi Shaocheng, and watched the three of them enter the yard. Wen Ti walked a few steps towards the small road. The styles of other self-built houses in the suburbs are similar, except that the architectural style of He Xiao’s house is the same as other self-built houses It’s different. The houses around have been renovated many times in the past ten years. Self-built houses are subsidized by the government. Even if they don’t want to rebuild, they have to be repaired for the appearance of the city, and they will be forcibly demolished after the time limit. Why is this yard still unattended? Keep it until now?

Is the head of the household really He Xiao?
