Since leaving the Gou family and going to Chencang, my mother has not appeared once.
I don't have unnecessary worries. My mother is quite capable, at least she won't be in any unknown danger.
After that, it was too dangerous in the Nanshan Mountains, so I didn’t want her to appear.
Until she came to me quietly just now, and now she picked up this comb...
At this moment, I recalled that when Xu Shiyu and I were eating, there was an extra comb in my hand for no reason...
At that time, the lights in the entire cafe went out...
This comb was given to Xu Shiyu by my mother?
"She's not here." My mother's voice was hollow, a bit cold, and even had a hint of sternness.
This made my heart throb even more.
"It's impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason... The main reason is that Miss Xu Shiyu and others in the bureau didn't say anything unusual." Feng Qu also said bravely.
I didn't answer, tried my best to calm down, and turned on the light.
The house is very tidy and clean, nothing unusual.
This is an ordinary one-bedroom apartment. I also opened the bedroom door, as well as the bathroom and kitchen doors, and searched them all, but I didn't find anything wrong.
But Xu Shiyu's hometown is in Neiyang City, and she has no other relatives.
Xu Baipi has also stayed in the Yinlai land behind the Gou family for a long time.
She asked for leave and stayed away from work for such a long time, which was already abnormal. Now she doesn't even answer calls or respond to messages. Something must have happened.
When I returned to the living room, my face darkened a lot.
It can be concluded that something happened to Xu Shiyu, but trying to find her is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She didn’t leave any information behind, and we had no idea where she might have gone or what might have happened.
"Feng Qu, please contact their bureau now and explain the situation clearly. Find out where Xu Shiyu may be and what has happened recently."
In desperation, I only have this option. Let's see if I can find any clues first.
Feng Qu immediately started calling.
I subconsciously glanced around the living room again.
But his eyes stayed on the root of the south wall.
There was a table with an incense burner on it, a sculpture enshrined on it, and a lot of fruit offerings in front of it.
The incense in the incense burner had burned out long ago, and the fruits had been left out for too long. Some were moldy, and some were dehydrated and shriveled.
I walked quickly to the front of the desk, but I felt something was particularly wrong.
It seems that this case is clean and there is nothing unusual about it.
But before Xu Shiyu met me, she didn’t believe in ghosts and gods at all.
Even if she reluctantly accepts it later, there are many things in this world that are beyond common sense. How can she worship an altar at home?
I looked at the sculpture intently. The sculpture had no face, which made it even more weird...
My eyelids twitched slightly uncontrollably, and I picked up the sculpture.
Only then did I discover what was even more weird. This sculpture had its hands raised, arms flat, as if pointing forward.
My brows furrowed even more, and I put the sculpture back in its original position, followed its movements, and looked back.
The south wall is directly opposite the wall where the living room opens the door.
There was a row of words on the wall. Before we entered the house, because our backs were to this wall and there was nothing on that wall, we just ignored it and didn't see the words at all...
The writing was dark red, like blood, which had dried up.
It was an address.
My actions also attracted my mother's attention.
She only glanced at it, and suddenly the aura coming from her whole body was extremely cold.
"Her blood!" My mother's voice suddenly became sharper.
These words made my scalp suddenly tingle, and my heart became even more chilly!
The words on the wall were written with Xu Shiyu's blood?
I stared at the words. Not only did I write down the address, I also took photos with my phone.
Looking back at the statue and the entire case, I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that this thing was coming for me?
Xu Shiyu disappeared inexplicably. She must have been hijacked.
The man also used her blood to leave words on the wall.
More importantly, he also left the case and sculpture to guide me to see?
This person comes with bad intentions, but I don’t know who he is and what grudge he has against me. Will he turn his anger on Xu Shiyu?
It's not unreasonable for me to think so.
Xu Shiyu has no relatives, and she doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods. After getting in touch with me, she came to know me as a Mr. Yin and Yang.
It was impossible for someone to deal with her inexplicably and then play this trick.
The only possibility is that he had some conflict with me, and knowing that Xu Shiyu and I knew each other, he deliberately took action.
"Find her." My mother said again abruptly.
When I came back to my senses, I found that she had disappeared.
At this time, Feng Qu's phone call was also finished.
He walked up to me and said unnaturally: "Mr. Luo, there is indeed something wrong. In fact, Miss Xu Shiyu is not the only one who has disappeared in their bureau. There are other people who have disappeared, but those people have not asked for leave."
"Actually, their bureau is already investigating, but I wanted to ask more, but they didn't disclose it. I have to find the head of the family about this matter. The head of the family will come forward and contact some people to know the exact situation."
Isn’t Xu Shiyu the only one?
Is it a coincidence, or did they offend someone in the bureau?
But the intuition in my heart told me that my initial idea should be right.
At the very least, I had to go check out that address.
"Feng Qu, you go back to the head of the Feng family first and find out the matter. We will split up." I said.
Feng Qu looked worried. He also looked at the address on the wall and said uneasily: "Mr. Luo, do you plan to go alone? I don't feel normal. How about bringing more people."
"It's useless for ordinary people to bring too much. Now go call Uncle Chen, or go to Liuhe Village. It will take a long time to go back and forth. I will go to check the situation first. After you go back and talk to the Feng family leader, help me find Chen uncle."
"Just in case." Finally, I solemnly said these four words.
Feng Qu didn't say much else.
We left Xu Shiyu’s house and parted ways at the gate of the community.
Although the city here is shabby, it is much more convenient to call a taxi.
Soon I hailed a taxi. After getting in the car, I told the address directly, and at the same time, I urged the driver to drive quickly.
I took a map to navigate to this address, and it turned out to be close to Neiyang Mountain.
At first, the Gu family was in front of Neiyang Mountain, facing south.
However, the Gu family has collapsed and has long ceased to exist.
When I got to the place, I discovered that it was to the west at the foot of Neiyang Mountain.
From this angle, one can barely see where the Gu family's original location was. It is still a big pit, with river water below it.
In front of me is a row of private buildings, mostly bungalows, with red letters for demolition on the walls.
It seems that there are basically no residents left.
Many windows are broken and leaking air, and many bungalows even have no doors.
These old houses should have been demolished a long time ago, and people are afraid that all the people will move out.
At this moment, my phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated.
I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xu Shiyu!
There was only one sentence: "I thought you wouldn't come."
