Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Half an hour later, the big boss, Ah Jiu and Li Qiu sat in a private room of a high-end restaurant together.

Ah Jiu folded her arms unhappy, and kept asking Li Qiu with her eyes why she agreed to the big boss's invitation at the last minute.Guiltyly, Li Qiu added a cup of tea to Ah Jiu, how could he dare to say that because of the boss's last words, his little self-esteem was satisfied a little, that's why he agreed to the dinner by accident.

The big boss sat opposite them, skillfully ordered the dishes to be served, and didn't say anything when he finished, he just watched the two of them quietly, with unknown emotions hidden in his gloomy eyes.

Ah Jiu and Li Qiu frowned and smoothed their hair. They kept making small movements under the table, flirting with each other.Li Qiu persuaded and comforted Shun Mao for a long time, and finally handed over his claws to Ah Jiu to squeeze hard, and the latter finally compromised sullenly, and finally did not leave the table on the spot.

As soon as Li Qiu raised his head, he was facing the big boss's scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't help but stand on end: "No, I'm sorry, we made you laugh. I haven't asked yet, what's your name, boss?"

"Ge Tianyou."

"Then...Boss Ge, since you're already sitting here, can you tell us about the missing person notice in detail?"

Ge Tianyou clapped his hands, and the door of the room opened from the outside. Secretary Liu respectfully held up a stack of thin photocopies of documents, and placed them in front of Li Qiu and Ah Jiu.Ah Jiu snorted in protest, and didn't read it at all. Li Qiu apologized awkwardly, and had no choice but to bring the document in front of him.

Detailed descriptions of the missing persons are recorded on the document.

The name of the missing person is Ye Yan, male, 27 years old, unmarried, "Northern drifter", who came to Beijing alone to work for three years.Before his disappearance, he shared the apartment with others, and then spent three hours a day walking and taking the subway to work in the urban area, leaving early and returning late.Ye Yan has no other social connections in Beijing except his fellow workers. His parents passed away many years ago, and his salary is sent to his hometown except for his daily needs.

Attached to the document is a photo of Ye Yan's life, wearing an ordinary TB shirt and jeans, standing in front of the Forbidden City scenic spot and comparing clumsy scissors hands. Ye Yan has the simplicity and shyness unique to country people, but his face is very clean. Refreshing and sunny under the lens.

The last time Ye Yan appeared in everyone's sight was four days ago.

Li Qiu flipped through the receipt with a red stamp on the back, and said in surprise: "The police judged that he ran away from home?"

Ge Tianyou nodded, "On the day he disappeared, he left everything in the rental house, including passbooks, mobile phones and ID cards, and only took a little change and clothes. After the case was filed, the police immediately investigated the surrounding areas of the residential building. Neighborhood and station monitoring, but found nothing."

"Isn't that reasonable?" Li Qiu pointed out immediately: "If you really run away from home, the most important thing you should take away is your wallet. If he travels so lightly, will he just borrow from a friend's house?"

"No, and... no."

Li Qiu was puzzled, and patiently waited for the next sentence.But Ge Tianyou didn't explain any more, his eyes quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, "You... just turn to the last page."

The last page is a thin medical record, with the medical certificate and receipt issued by the hospital in the middle, Li Qiu opened it and understood everything immediately.In the diagnosis column, there are three big characters clearly written - uremia.

Seeing that Li Qiu's expression was not right, Ah Jiu grabbed the medical record, shook his head after reading it, and threw it back on the table.

It turned out to be like this, this Ye Yan was diagnosed with uremia by the hospital the day before, left all his assets and documents the next day, and left alone without saying a word.

Li Qiu opened his mouth: "Ye Yan, why didn't he receive treatment?"

Ge Tianyou pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but Ah Jiu said, "It should be because of the money." Ah Jiu pointed with his chin, "Uremia can be cured, but whether it is dialysis or kidney replacement, it needs to be treated." A large amount of financial support. But this Ye Yan is just an ordinary migrant worker, and he has no relatives at home, so he can't afford such a high medical fee, so he gave up."

What Ah Jiu said is right. Almost every year, the news media will report some seriously ill patients in impoverished areas, because they have no money for medical treatment and can only close their eyes and wait for death. This kind of thing is not new for a long time.Many patients struggled until their last breath, and many patients simply committed suicide or ran away from home in order not to hurt their poor family members.

And this Ye Yan obviously chose the latter.

Li Qiu's beautiful eyebrows were frowned, both feeling and sympathizing, he, like Ye Yan, had experienced the hardships of struggling alone in society, but he was luckier than Ye Yan, having established a foothold in this city earlier place.Seeing the misery and desolation of the past from others now, it is inevitable to feel compassion in my heart.

Ah Jiu didn't have any idea about this, and asked Ge Tianyou, "Where are the passbooks and documents left by Ye Yan now?"

Ge Tianyou said: "In my place, I have investigated everything, and there is no clue."

Ah Jiu suddenly pouted evilly, and his gaze towards Ge Tianyou changed a few times.As soon as Li Qiu saw his expression, he knew that Ah Jiu might have come to his own conclusion.

Sure enough, Ah Jiu said: "He obviously has distant relatives in his hometown, but before he left, he left all his money and documents in the rental house. Isn't that abnormal? Besides, he is not the only one in the rental house, there is another cohabitant .”

"That's for the cohabitants."

"Leaving it to cohabitants, not relatives with blood, what does this mean?"

Li Qiu raised his head, "Could it be that Ye Yan had conflicts with relatives in his hometown?"

Ah Jiu shook his head, "If there is a conflict, he won't send money back every year."

"That's..." Li Qiu thought for a while. Ah Jiu once said that Ye Yan has an unusual relationship with his cohabitant. Is it more important?"

Ah Jiu nodded appreciatively, but Ge Tianyou, who was sitting across from him, turned pale when he heard the words, as if all the blood had been sucked out of him in an instant, and his erect body trembled slightly.

Ah Jiu raised two fingers and said leisurely: "Two things, first, after Ye Yan got the medical certificate, because he had no money for medical treatment, he just wanted to wait for death just like those patients who gave up treatment. So I chose to leave alone. Second, judging from the legacy he left behind, in his heart, the last longing in this world should be the lover who lives with him."

Ah Jiu's fingers twirled nimbly and landed on Ge Tianyou, who was pale and depressed across the table.

"His inheritance is in your hands, that is to say—Boss Ge, the cohabitant in Ye Yan's rented house is you, right? You and Ye Yan are lovers."

+ + +

When the sumptuous food was delivered to the table, the table was eerily quiet. The waiter timidly looked at the three people in the box with different expressions, shrunk his neck and ran away.

It was Li Qiu who reacted first and broke the deadlock between Ge Tianyou and Ah Jiu: "Well, let's talk while eating, otherwise so many dishes will be cold in a while. We won't refuse to use chopsticks first, and Boss Ge will eat too. "After finishing speaking, he took the first to pick up the rice bowl and brought two pieces of fish to Ah Jiu—he was always thinking about Ah Jiu's cry of hunger.

The pent-up discussion has come to an end for now, and it's lunch time.

Ah Jiu only took the bowl to grill the rice, basically he didn't need to reach out, Li Qiu would deliver his favorite dishes to his bowl one by one, and the service was thoughtful with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.Anyway, Li Qiu knows his preferences and tastes, no matter what Li Qiu picks up, he will eat whatever, so don't worry.Li Qiu was used to serving Ah Jiu, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, but Ge Tianyou stared at the intimate movements of the two without blinking, with traces of nostalgia and pain in his dark eyes.

This is a Cantonese-style restaurant. There are four or five seafood dishes, from king crab to big lobster, from steamed oysters to boiled abalone.After Li Qiu added the rice to Ah Jiu, he peeled a bunch of red prawns, and then he started eating with his own bowl.

Ah Jiu couldn't help wondering: "Why, do you like seafood?"

Li Qiu nodded quickly, and swallowed the shellfish in his mouth, "Yes, I like it! It's just that good seafood is too expensive, and you can't get it easily at ordinary times. It's rare to have this opportunity today, and the seafood in this restaurant is really delicious. "

Ah Jiu looked at Li Qiu who bowed his head to cook rice, then at his plate full of seafood, and finally sent the peeled king crab leg in his bowl to Li Qiu's bowl. "I think it's average, so let me eat it for you."

Li Qiu raised his face in surprise: "Ah Jiu, don't you try it? It's really delicious, and it's very expensive to buy in the supermarket."

"This stuff is too fishy, ​​I just taste it, you can eat more."

"Oh, okay."

After eating two more mouthfuls, Ah Jiu simply put down his chopsticks, held his chin to watch Li Qiu eat with a smile, and picked some dishes for him from time to time. Seeing Li Qiu's food was delicious and sweet, Ah Jiu felt more satisfied than falling into his own mouth .He suddenly understood Li Qiu's mood every time he watched him eat, the sense of relief and accomplishment, as expected, can only be understood by experiencing it personally.

Ge Tianyou never moved his chopsticks, his wandering gaze went back and forth between Ah Jiu and Li Qiu, sometimes staring at one of them, sometimes it seemed that both of them were watching.

Ah Jiu knocked on the table and said with a smile: "Boss, if you look at it this way, can you see the shadow of you and Ye Yan from us?"

Ge Tianyou was startled, shook his head silently, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely: "When Ye Yan and I eat, it won't be like this."

"Oh? You won't pick up food from each other, and you won't feel happy and satisfied when you see each other's full?"

Ge Tianyou remained silent.

"Tsk, you are so pathetic." Ah Jiu snorted mercilessly.

Even if you don't need to ask, Ah Jiu knows that he and Li Qiu asked themselves that there is nothing special about them. They are not as powerful as the police, and they are not as powerful as detectives. This big boss does everything possible to keep them, just because of their lover The relationship triggered Ge Tianyou's deepest heartstrings.

Probably the big boss thinks that the identities of the two lovers can bring him more inspiration in the direction of thinking.

"I've always had a question." Ah Jiu leaned forward slightly, "Boss, if you are so rich, why do you still go to live with someone in that dilapidated residential building? It's a bad taste of rich people?"

Ge Tianyou didn't change his face: "There is no reason, it's just that I want to live that kind of life."

Li Qiu numbly bit the crab meat, blinked, and couldn't imagine the scene of this rich man in a well-fitting suit going in and out of dilapidated residential buildings. There are really people in this world who live happily ever after, pretending to be poor people to experience life.

Ah Jiu couldn't help sneering, "There is not a single valuable item in your rental house, which means that you pretend to be poor. Ye Yan probably didn't know your real identity from the beginning to the end. What kind of lover is this? You have been lied to him."

Li Qiu's spoon, which was scooping up soup, stopped suddenly and froze in the air. Ajiu Yuguang glanced at him and didn't say anything.
