The world of mortals is just right

The Starbucks in Lama Temple.

Today is the vernal equinox, the temperature is rising, and the willows are sprouting.The wind passed a few days ago, today the sun is shining and the sky is blue.

This area is not only adjacent to the Lama Temple, but also close to the Confucian Temple and Guozijian. It is a must-visit place for leisure tourism in the capital, and there are never many tourists.

Cheng Sisi was queuing up in the store.

He studied the drink list behind the barista, and was still tangled up in front of the cashier.Is it time to try the new hidden menu of the recent Internet celebrities, or to drink flat whites as usual.

The cashier girl couldn't help looking at him. This gentleman was about 26 or seven years old, with a handsome face, neatly combed hair, and a pair of rimless glasses.Good-looking is good-looking, but it is too slow.

Half a minute later, Cheng Sisi finally made up her mind, "Add a shot to the extra large soy milk latte."

He left his name, took a drink, hummed the tune of "Outside the Peony Pavilion", sat down in a secluded place, turned on the computer and waited for others.

Lines of code danced on the screen. He leaned back in the chair, sighed, and pulled the corners of his mouth again.

He looked relaxed, but actually nervous.A very important thing, finally, seems to have a result.

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the street outside is straight and wide, with towering trees and people coming and going.The coffee shop is facing the road, and the buses pass by one by one.

About 3 minutes later, the door was pushed open again, and Cheng Sisi poked his head from the computer, knowing that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Xuan Chang opened the door and entered the store, instead of looking at the coffee counter, he glanced around the inside of the store and walked towards Cheng Sisi.

Cheng Sisi herself was already considered fair, but this one had a fair complexion and a calm expression.

It is rare for young people to have such peace. No matter how well maintained he is, without any trace of age, he should be close to forty.

At this time, there is plenty of light in the afternoon, and when viewed under the sun, there are indeed slight lines in the corners of his eyes, but they are only slight.

Xuan Chang was tall and slender, wearing a suit, and sat down opposite Cheng Sisi.

Cheng Sisi was holding the paper cup, and in the aroma of the coffee, he could smell a faint scent of men's perfume. Then he looked at his suit, which was obviously tailor-made, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that you are getting more and more adapted to the current life. gone."

Xuan Chang smiled, "Life must go on."

There was an air of pampering on him, and it was a bit strange to say such a thing.

Cheng Sisi was one of the few people who understood the cause and effect, and a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

Xuan Chang waited for him to drink it before cutting into the topic.

"Any news of him?"

Cheng Sisi was refreshed.

"You've been looking for him all these years, and we're looking for him too. I'm not [-]% sure it's him, but this time it's very likely."

The laptop on the table was not a common model. Cheng Sisi clasped the sides and removed the screen to turn it into a tablet.

His hands are busy, and his mouth is not idle.

"I'm working on the system in the project team of a certain bureau now, and it's going to be fully implemented in the second half of this year. I worked overtime until the early hours the night before yesterday, and I checked it with this system on a whim..."

There is no light in the east and light in the west. He thought that the traditional method could not find people, so try modern technology.

Unexpectedly, when the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, it really found a clue.

Cheng Sisi coughed lightly.

"We don't know where he is now and what his name is. I just made a series of unreliable assumptions..."

His fingers tapped on the screen, and finally handed the screen to Xuan Chang.

The above are more than ten closed-circuit surveillance video clips captured by the system. Cheng Sisi said, "I assume that his name and place of birth have not changed. When I found this person, Jiang Huan, 33 years old, his resume said that he used to work in an investment bank. A few months ago Resigned, ran to a pub in the alley..."

He watched Xuan Chang open a clip, staring at the screen without saying a word.

Cheng Sisi observed carefully, and then said, "You know, um...he looks different now, he doesn't seem to be alone..."

It was as different as plastic surgery and a face change, Cheng Sisi's heart pounded, feeling uneasy, most people would not be able to bear such a thing, but Xuan Chang smiled softly.

He flipped the screen back, and the picture paused in early February, a surveillance clip outside the bar.

It snowed in those few days, and then the temperature rose, and the snow pattered into freezing rain at night.In the depressions on the road, there are large and large beaches, which are mixed with crushed ice and water.

On the screen, in the darkness of night, this person came out of the bar.There are shadows of trees in the courtyard, and the picture quality of the camera is not good. I can only see the light of the cigarette butt, which means I have come out to smoke.

He actually sat down on the spot, sitting under the eaves, smoking a cigarette while reaching out to catch a drop of water outside the eaves.

Cheng Sisi couldn't help opening her mouth.

The image quality was limited, and he couldn't see that person's face clearly, but the casual and lazy expression of that person when he looked up, traveled through all these years of vicissitudes, and crashed head-on into his memory with a bang.

——The face and facial features have become strangers, but the expression and demeanor are exactly the same as Jiang Huan back then, without any difference.

Xuan Chang said with a little smile and nostalgia, "I don't think there is anything different about him."
