faller

Chen Tianhang was walking aimlessly, he didn't know where he was going, like a lost soul wandering around the campus at night.

This is the first time he wanders around the campus so late, and he usually plays games in the dormitory at this time.

The cool mid-autumn evening wind blew by, and the street lamps stretched Chen Tianhang's shadow very long. He caught a glimpse of his elongated and deformed shadow under the moonlight.

The students who had just finished their evening classes on bicycles sang and slipped past Chen Tianhang; there were still chaotic shouts of excitement from the basketball court; the students who went to the "garbage street" to eat supper were in groups of three or five, singing loudly. Holding a cow, smelling of alcohol...

Chen Tianhang turned a deaf ear to it, he felt that he was slowly breaking away from all this, he felt as if he was gradually losing track of what the people around him were saying, and all he could think about was what Yuan Yin said just now.

Before he knew it, Chen Tianhang found himself in Chongshi Square—the place where he saw Yao Yuan for the last time, and the place where Yao Yuan jumped off the building.

Chen Tianhang looked up at the corridor of Chongshi Plaza that he hated. On the right was the 15-story teaching building in the northeast corner of Chongshi Plaza, and on the left was the [-]-story office building in the southwest corner. Both buildings had east and west doors. You can go in and out, and the highest No.[-] floor corridor between the two buildings blocks the moonlight at this time.

Chongshi Plaza has a large area, and there are not many street lights installed. There are only a row of street lights installed in front of the four doors of two buildings.At this moment, there is no large-scale searchlight for curtain wall construction, and everything is not so clear under the shadowy moonlight and the refraction of the colorful glass curtain wall.

Because of the decoration of the glass curtain wall, few people in the teaching building continued to study in the noise.At this time, there were no people in the teaching building, and only a few students came out of the building occasionally. Everything was the same as usual, and there was no change.

Chen Tianhang was trying hard to recall the last time he saw Yao Yuan. At that time, Yao Yuan was standing in the center of Chongshi Square looking at his mobile phone. What was he doing?Last words for your family?

Chen Tianhang thought again, the corridor on the highest floor where Yao Yuan jumped should be the only open space in the two buildings.Recently, Baigong is engaged in maintenance of glass curtain walls, and the entire Chongshi Plaza is full of noise.Many people who prepared programs for the 80th anniversary party of the school had to go to the corridor between the two buildings to rehearse.The corridor is always full of playing and singing, very lively.

For the safety of students, this corridor is not without railings.Chen Tianhang remembered that he had been up there before. He was a big man of 1.9 meters, and the railing could reach his shoulders a little lower, so he was at least 1.4 meters tall.

They were all grown-ups, and no one climbed up the high railing to play like a child.Besides, there was a motley group of people rehearsing the show in the corridor. Did no one see that Yao Yuan was about to commit suicide?Won't you stop it?

The more Chen Tianhang thought about it, the more he didn't understand. He wanted to go to the corridor again. The elevators on both sides of the building could only go up to the [-]th floor. To get to the [-]th floor of the highest corridor, he had to climb up from the [-]th floor.However, a student fell to his death, so this corridor should be inaccessible.But Bai Gong has always been short-sighted, so maybe they can really get in.

"Never mind him, let's talk about it later." Chen Tianhang thought, preparing to enter the teaching building in the northeast corner.

At this moment, Chen Tianhang was raising his head and staring at the east-west corridor, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound beside him.

Chen Tianhang looked over and saw a man bent over looking for something in the grass near the teaching building.

"Chen Chen?!" Chen Tianhang rushed up, only to realize that the person who was bending over to look for something turned out to be Yao Yuan's brother Chen Chen!

Chen Chen raised his head and saw that it was Chen Tianhang walking over, his eyes were very bright under the moonlight.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Tianhang asked.In fact, what he wanted to ask was why Guan Zhechao and the others didn't like Chen Tianhang. Aren't they most afraid of Chen Chen making trouble?At this moment, Chen Chen not only ran out of the guest house to Bai Gong's campus, but even came to the place where his brother jumped off the building!

"They said that my brother jumped from here..." Chen Chen didn't answer Chen Tianhang's question, but pointed to the corridor on the top floor.At this moment, a cloud blocked the already blurry moonlight, and the shadow of the east-west corridor was cast on Chen Chen's face, covering the bright color in Chen Chen's eyes.

Chen Tianhang didn't answer, Chen Chen pointed to the corridor on the top floor, and Chen Tianhang was staring at Chen Chen.

"They showed me the surveillance video..." Chen Chen continued, "They said that my brother entered the teaching building after nine o'clock that night...he stayed here for a long time...jumped off the building at 52:[-] in the morning..."

"Four: 52?" Chen Tianhang felt that some of his thoughts just now were quickly denied. He thought that Yao Yuan might have seen Yao Yuan committing suicide during the rehearsal in the corridor, but Yao Yuan committed suicide at four or five in the morning. people.

"But there is one thing that makes me feel quite strange." Chen Chen suddenly raised his head and stared into Chen Tianhang's eyes.

Chen Tianhang was a little stunned: "What's the matter?"

Chen Chen pointed to the corridor on the top floor: "Today they showed me my brother's belongings after he jumped off the building - the keys in his pocket, the campus card, the water card...but there is no mobile phone!"

"No cell phone?"

"Yes, I also asked to watch the video of my brother arriving at the teaching building after nine o'clock. He was going upstairs at that time, and the monitor at the corner of the corridor happened to capture him holding his mobile phone and watching while walking." Chen Chen made a sideshow Looking at the movement of the mobile phone while walking, "But there is no mobile phone in his belongings... The school said that he fell too hard when he jumped off the building, and the mobile phone was thrown out, so he couldn't find it..."

"You really don't have a mobile phone?" Chen Tianhang felt even more strange, "I saw your brother the night before he committed suicide..."

"Did you see him?" Chen Chen was excited, "When? Where?"

"It's right here." Chen Tianhang pointed to the Chongshi Square where they were standing, "It's the one in front. I remember it was after nine o'clock that night. When I went back, I saw him looking at his phone... ..."

"Then what did my brother tell you?" Chen Chen was asking, his eyes were bright, as if he had decided that Chen Tianhang was the most crucial clue, the last straw.

Chen Tianhang was dumb, silent for a while, and said: "No... I didn't talk to him, I didn't call him, so I went back..."

"..." Chen Chen's eyes dimmed instantly.

Chen Tianhang felt a little embarrassed after a long absence, and said, "But I really saw him playing with his mobile phone—did he tell your mother or you that day that he couldn't think about committing suicide? Or did he post something on Moments?"

"No..." Chen Chen lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, this time his answer was a bit slow, "Actually... I haven't contacted my brother for a while..."

"Why?" Chen Tianhang asked.

"I..." For the first time, Chen Chen had an ambiguous attitude. He lowered his head and did not continue.

"You two have a bad relationship?" Chen Tianhang continued to ask.

"No." Unexpectedly, Chen Chen raised his head immediately, stared into Chen Tianhang's eyes, and denied, "Our relationship is not bad."

"Oh..." Chen Tianhang didn't continue to ask, "Then he jumped off the building...did you contact your mother before?"

"No." Chen Chen replied.

"No?" Chen Tianhang was stunned. A person who is determined to commit suicide, shouldn't he leave a few last words to his close relatives before he dies... Could it be that Yao Yuan has nothing to say to his mother and younger brother?Then what was he playing with his mobile phone that day?Anyone else to contact?

Chen Chen said: "So I want to look for it here, maybe it really fell somewhere."

But Chen Tianhang thought it was all in vain, the police had checked the place several times in the early morning when Yao Yuan fell from the building, every inch of the turf must have been raised several times.

Chen Chen nodded, and began to bend down to search for it.While looking for it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, but there was only a "shut down" notification tone on the other end of the phone.

"It's okay, the mobile phone business hall seems to be able to find out when the phone is turned off." Chen Tianhang comforted Chen Chen.This was actually just a consolation, and he, Chen Tianhang, didn't know exactly what he could find in the mobile phone business hall.

Chen Chen gave a low "hmm", lowered his body and continued to search.

In the night, Chen Tianhang saw Chen Chen hunched over his somewhat emaciated body, and he suddenly remembered their group called "Mobile Team", and he realized that he should be responsible for arranging Chen Chen and his mother in the guest house, and not going anywhere .But why now I am looking for Yao Yuan's missing cell phone with Chen Chen at the place where Yao Yuan jumped off the building?

"Hey," Chen Tianhang patted Chen Chen, "Let's go back first."

Chen Chen turned around.

"It's so late that we can't see anything clearly, and it won't be good when the security guards come later—they don't want you looking for things here," Chen Tianhang said, "I will continue to help you find things tomorrow." This sentence said It was only after Chen Tianhang remembered that he didn't know what Yao Yuan's cell phone looked like.

"Okay." Chen Chen nodded, his eyes still bright, "Thank you."
