Once upon a time, Liang Zhe had two best friends.
Deng Zhongquan and Pang Yi were college roommates. They were inseparable during college and went together everywhere. After graduation, they both stayed in the city. They often had dinner parties and their friendship continued to grow. In the third year after graduation, he and Pang Yi followed Deng Zhongquan's strong advice and borrowed money to buy a house in this community. A year later, the house price doubled, and now it has more than quintupled. He lives downstairs from Deng Zhongquan, and Pang Yi lives downstairs. In another building.
Their relationship lasted until the night Yangyang disappeared five years ago.
It was a family outing. Liang Zhe's family of three, Deng Zhongquan's family of three, and Pang Yi's family of three drove three cars to a mountain outside Linshi for camping. On the second night of camping, Yangyang disappeared. Since then, everything has changed. Maybe he has changed, maybe they have changed. In short, it is not important. What is important is that Yangyang has not been found so far. There is no living person, no dead body, and they are all at the scene.
Liang Zhe had always doubted their story, but the police had asked, and he and his wife had asked many times. Their stories were consistent, and they were present during the entire search. The police searched the entire mountain several times, but found nothing. After discovering Yang Yang's trace, they had no motive to murder Yang Yang and no time to hide the body.
But Liang Zhe didn't believe it. After countless inquiries at the police station and his uninterrupted search, he now didn't believe anyone. He doubted anyone and questioned any statement. He firmly believed that his son was still alive and was waiting for him to rescue him in a corner of the world. When he thought of his son's surprised expression when he saw his appearance, he couldn't stop crying. So, no matter what, he will not give up and cannot give up.
He ran upstairs and slammed Deng Zhongquan's door.
The nanny opened the door, and before she could say anything, Liang Zhe stepped in.
Deng Zhongquan was drinking tea in the living room. The aroma of tea filled the room. He raised his eyes and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I just made tea. Authentic Junshan Silver Needle, come and try it."
Liang Zhe sat across from the sofa and looked around. He saw two large boxes in the corner with some sundries inside. He was obviously preparing for the move. He pressed on his wife's cell phone and heard a ding sound, indicating that his wife was delivering it through the air. Here's a text: Don't ask directly, so as not to alert the snake and lead them to expose their flaws. In addition, I changed the automatic screen lock time of my phone to never. I found that once the screen goes black, I can't find the delivery contact.
After Liang Zhe set up his wife's mobile phone, he asked Deng Zhongquan: "Where is Feng Yuan?"
Before Deng Zhongquan could speak, Feng Yuan's moderate voice came from the bedroom: "Put these, these, and these all in." Apparently she was talking to the nanny. Then, the rhythmic sound of slippers was heard. He was 1.73 meters tall and was now thirty-four years old. He still maintained a good figure and appearance. He was often mistaken for the 27- or 27-year-old Feng Yuan from the bedroom. She walked out with a soft voice: "Who is looking for me?"
Liang Zhe turned to look at Feng Yuan: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Feng Yuan chuckled lightly, as if she was a little disdainful of Liang Zhe's commanding tone, but she still walked over and sat next to Deng Zhongquan. She put an arm around Deng Zhongquan's waist and leaned against Deng Zhongquan: "Ask."
Liang Zhe stared into Feng Yuan's eyes: "Does Yangyang's disappearance have anything to do with you?"
Feng Yuan sighed softly: "Are you still checking? How many years has it been -"
Liang Zhe shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and answer the question!"
Feng Yuan looked displeased and glanced at Deng Zhongquan. Deng Zhongquan poured a cup of tea for Liang Zhe without changing his expression.
Feng Yuan stood up and left, her voice becoming colder: "I've told you a hundred times, it doesn't matter."
Liang Zhe looked at Feng Yuan's profile: "That's not what Pang Yi said."
Feng Yuan frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Liang Zhe stood up and approached Feng Yuan, clenching his teeth.
Feng Yuan took two steps back as if afraid.
Liang Zhe didn't say a word, just stared at Feng Yuan, observing Feng Yuan's reaction.
Feng Yuan avoided his gaze, retreated to the bedroom door, and shouted: "Are you sick?"
The more Liang Zhe looked, the more he felt that Feng Yuan was suspicious. He clenched his fists and the veins on his forehead bulged. He wanted to pinch Feng Yuan's neck and force her to tell the truth, but he knew he couldn't do that. He took a deep breath and turned around to leave. .
Feng Yuan shouted at Liang Zhe's back: "Speak to me clearly!"
Liang Zhe opened the door and went out, slamming the door shut, cutting off Feng Yuan's voice.
There was a ding on the phone, and my wife sent a text: I will stay here for observation tonight, you go home first.
Liang Zhe was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Okay."
My wife sent another text: Open the door so I can go in.
Liang Zhe knocked on the door and the nanny opened the door. Liang Zhe stood at the door and stared at the nanny without saying a word.
My wife sent a text: Okay, remember to pick me up tomorrow morning.
Feng Yuan just stuck her head out, but before she could say anything, Liang Zhe closed the door.
After closing the door, Liang Zhe found that his wife's airdrop contact was gone.
Feng Yuan stood at the door of the bedroom and said towards the living room: "He came to the house for no reason to go crazy, and you don't care?"
Deng Zhongquan drank tea and said slowly: "He has nothing, so why are you competing with him?"
Feng Yuan muttered, turned around and entered the bedroom, and began to accuse the nanny.
Deng Zhongquan's cell phone vibrated. It was a call from a person marked as "Partner No. 1", but he didn't answer. A moment later, the person called again, but he still didn't answer. Not long after, a message came to his WeChat, which was sent by the person marked as "Partner No. 4". He leaned on the sofa, typed and chatted with the other party for a few words, then got up and walked to the door. Before leaving, he said to Feng Yuan said: "The company has something to do, I will go out."
Feng Yuan seemed not to hear, sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the mirror, thoughtfully.
A few minutes later, her daughter Deng Feifei walked through the bedroom door carrying her schoolbag and said calmly: "I'm going to study with my cousin."
After Deng Feifei went out, Feng Yuan waved her hand: "Let's all go, you go too."
The nanny froze on the spot: "Does that count as overtime?"
Feng Yuan glared at the nanny: "Forget it!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, the house was empty. Feng Yuan held her chin and admired her beautiful face in the mirror. She was surprised to find a crow's feet. She quickly applied a mask, lay back on the bed, and crossed her long legs. One foot was swinging gently in the air, and she hummed a song. After humming a few words, she felt irritated. She cursed in a low voice, and then dialed Pang Yi's number. As soon as the ringtone rang, she immediately hung up. Finally, Pang Yi called her back.
"What's wrong, my goddess?" Pang Yi's voice was very low.
"Liang Zhe came to see me just now. Did you say something to him that you shouldn't have said?"
"No, I haven't seen him for a month. What did he say?" Pang Yi's voice became nervous.
"I didn't say anything specific, but it just implies that you and I know about Yangyang's disappearance."
"You don't still have that earring, do you?"
"How is that possible? It was already thrown into the river."
"Where's the other one?"
"I won't tell you anymore. He disappeared as soon as he came out of the woods."
"Then it's okay. You must be overthinking it. I'm going fishing tonight, do you want to come with me?"
"Let's catch a ghost at night."
"Hehe, are you coming or not? We haven't seen each other for ten days."
"Wait, then."
Feng Yuan hummed the song again and swayed her fair feet. She felt that maybe she had overthought it. After all, five years had passed and nothing could be left, not to mention that the police had not found anything. Looking at Liang Zhe now With his half-dead appearance, he probably didn't have much time left. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
