Qinghong

I turned around in response: "Officer Zhou."

"Hello." The middle-aged male policeman walked up to me and smiled, "I remember you, the fearless teacher on the top of Tianjin University in March last year."

I touched my nose in embarrassment: "Yes, my surname is Zou, Zou Lansheng."

"What happened to Teacher Zou?" Zhou Jiangyong asked.

"My student, Xiao Ke, hasn't come to report these two days when school starts." I said, "And we can't contact him."

Xia Xianxian opened the WeChat page and handed it to Zhou Jiangyong: "This is the chat record between me and him."

Zhou Jiangyong pulled a chair casually and sat down, read it carefully with his mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Do you know the detailed address of his home?"

"Yes," I said, "students are required to fill out a security form before the holidays, and the forms are kept in the Office of Academic Affairs."

"You report your disappearance in the name of the school, and the document is stamped with an official seal. I'll try to see if I can file a case." Zhou Jiangyong said, "Mr. Zou, ask the school to issue a warning letter for Xiao Ke's failure to report, and I will go to his home with you to have a look. .”

"Okay." I nodded, "Thank you Officer Zhou."

"Just call me Lao Zhou." Zhou Jiangyong smiled honestly, "Officer Zhou, Officer Zhou, this name always makes me feel like I'm living in a gangster movie."

Back at school, I reported that Xiao Ke didn't come to report the suspected disappearance. The college attached great importance to it. Without a word, I issued a certificate of Xiao Ke's failure to report and a warning letter for withdrawing from school. Both documents were affixed with official seals.

Dean Qi came to me: "Xiao Zou, this is Xiao Ke's counselor, you go with her, we can take care of each other."

"Hello." I looked at the young woman next to Dean Qi. She was about 23 or [-] years old, with neat short hair, which reminded me of Qin Xuan in high school.

"My surname is He, He Xue." She introduced herself, "I know you, Teacher Zou Lansheng, right?"

I say yes."

"I have Xiao Ke's detailed address here. When are we going to leave?" He Xue asked.

I looked at Dean Qi, and Dean Qi said: "The courtyard has booked a plane for you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. If anything happens, report to the school in time."

I said, "Okay, thank you Dean."

Dean Qi waved his hand: "This is what the school should do."

"I'm going too." Xia Xianxian took my arm, "Mr. Zou, I'll pay for the ticket myself, and I'll go with you."

"This..." Dean Qi frowned, "What are you doing as a student?"

"Xiao Ke is my best friend, I have to go and see it." Xia Xianxian said, "I'm 25 years old, I'm not a kid anymore."

Dean Qi stared at her for a while, then said helplessly, "Go ahead, the two girls will be your companion."

Xia Xianxian thanked repeatedly: "Thank you, Dean."

At ten o'clock the next morning, I, Zhou Jiangyong, He Xue and Xia Xianxian got on the flight to Hefei.

"Ning Hong!" Wang Tongshu ran to Ning Hong's side panting, "Do you know who I just saw?"

"Who?" Ning Hong responded symbolically without raising his eyelids.

"Your boyfriend." Wang Tongshu said, "Wears a dark gray coat and gold-rimmed glasses, right?"

Ning Hong sat up quickly: "And then?"

"I saw them sitting in the waiting hall." Wang Tongshu said, "That boarding gate is for Hefei."

Hefei, is it possible to go on a business trip?Ning Hong wondered, Zou Lansheng was a university professor, and he also went to a first-tier city for a seminar on a business trip, why would he go to Hefei if he had nothing to do?

"Aren't you following?" Wang Tongshu asked.

"Why should I follow?" Ning Hong said angrily. He chased after him, and then Zou Lansheng left with a word?He didn't want to hear "Let's go" again, these three words made his lungs hurt.

Wang Tongshu was speechless, he scolded: "Just procrastinate, there will always be a time for you to cry."

From the subway exit to the waiting hall, I didn’t meet Ning Hong along the way. I was a little lost, and I comforted myself again. Binhai Airport has a large area and a lot of people. It’s normal not to meet Ning Hong. How can it be such a coincidence? of.

Seated in the economy class, Zhou Jiangyong sat beside me, and I closed my eyes until I landed in Hefei.

Walking out of the airport, we took a taxi and went straight to Jinqiao County.Xia Xianxian's eyes were black and blue, her brows were furrowed, and she had no appetite to eat. He Xue was younger than Xia Xianxian, and she spoke softly to comfort her, like a big sister.

We stood at the door of Xiao Ke's house, Zhou Jiangyong raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Boom, boom, boom."

"Is anyone there, the police?" Zhou Jiangyong said.

The loud knock on the door attracted the attention of the neighbors. The old lady next door opened the door and said through the anti-theft outer door, "He went out to work and came back after six o'clock in the evening."

"Oh good, thank you." Zhou Jiangyong said.

"What are you looking for from him?" the old lady asked.

"School started these days, and his son didn't come to report." I said.

"School starts? He sent that boy to school in the first month of the month." The old lady said in surprise.

I was stunned, and looked at Zhou Jiangyong, Zhou Jiangyong asked: "The first month? Do you know what school you go to?"

"And the baby of that family," the old lady pointed to another family on the right, "go to the same school. The tuition fee is expensive, 10,000+ a year. I heard that everything can be cured, and it can prevent children from being beaten. In games, you can control who you like and who you don’t."

The old man speaks with a dialect accent, which sounds quite strenuous, but the information reflected is astonishing.

Zhou Jiangyong showed his ID: "Auntie, my surname is Zhou. I am a policeman from Xinmin Road Police Station, Nankai District, Tianjin. My police number is xxxxxxx. Is it convenient for you? Let's go in and talk."

"Come in." The old lady opened the outer door and took two steps back to let the four of us in. She turned around and closed the two doors, muttering incessantly, "Parents are nosy. Children like boys If he likes women, it’s up to him if he likes them. Although you gave birth to him and raised him, you can still control him for the rest of your life.” She walked slowly to the sofa and sat down. Is it comfortable to have a home in disarray? Sigh.”

The tone sounded meaningful. I remembered that when I was sitting on the roof with Xiao Ke, he talked about his neighbor, so I asked: "Xiao Ke said he has a neighbor, does he still live here?"

"I can't stop." The old lady said, she thumped her knees, "The child was sent to school by his family. After a semester, he came back mentally and was not normal. He had no expression when he saw anyone, and he was neither smiling nor happy. He looks like a wooden man. His parents sold the house and took him to a big city to see a doctor. I don’t know what’s going on now.”

"That school..." Zhou Jiangyong asked, "Do you know what it's called?"

"I don't know." The old lady said, "I know it's in Shandong, it seems to be Linyi."

I said, "Did Xiao Ke ever quarrel with his father?"

"It's more than just arguing. During the Chinese New Year, his house has never stopped." The old lady said, "Every day, he was slamming and crackling, and his father beat him very hard. Once I saw him sitting in the corridor, his arms were all scratched." Injury. The little boy is white and clean, how can his father let him go?"

Xia Xianxian lowered her head and wiped her tears, Zhou Jiangyong said, "Do you remember anything about that school? Any details are fine."

The old lady was kind-hearted, tried to remember for a while, and said: "There is a woman downstairs who is very well informed. I will go downstairs and ask for you."

Zhou Jiangyong said: "You are old and have trouble moving. Tell me what she looks like, and I will ask."

The old lady glared at him: "I'm in good health, I walk with the wind, what are you worrying about?" She stood up, stretched her arms and kicked her legs, proving that what she said was true, "I'm an acquaintance with her, it's convenient to ask , if you go, you won’t be able to ask anything.”

The so-called old children, old children, Zhou Jiangyong had no choice but to say: "Then thank you."

The old lady's wife walked into the living room slowly, holding a fruit plate: "Eat some pears, wash them."

"Thank you." I said.

The old lady went downstairs, about half an hour later, the old lady came back, holding a business card in her hand, and proudly handed it to Zhou Jiangyong: "Here, this is the school."

Zhou Jiangyong glanced at it and handed me his business card. I looked down, and it was Qingxin Cultivation College in Linyi, Shandong.The back of the card reads, cure Internet addiction, homosexuality, depression, ADHD, and save your child's life astray.

"It's almost time for dinner." Zhou Jiangyong said, "We won't delay your rest, let's go first."

"Don't delay." The old lady said, "Sit down a little longer, the next door will be back soon."

I held the business card, and the worry in my heart turned into anger, which started a prairie fire when I saw Xiao Ke's father.
