Jiang Xin quickly adjusted her mood, "You know this place is great! The car will arrive in a while, let's go straight there."
Tongshi and Jingshi are about two hours' drive away.
At 8:30 in the evening, He Shu's car stopped in Tongshi.
Jiang Xin and Ming Xin got out of the car.
Ming Xin pointed to a locked courtyard, "This is where my benefactor once lived."
He Shu stepped forward, took out the thin wire from his pocket, and quickly unlocked the door.
At first glance, this yard has been unoccupied for a long time and the power has been cut off.
He Shu took two flashlights from the car and handed them to Jiang Xin and Mingxin respectively.
"You two go in first, and I'll go inquire around."
Jiang Xin and Ming Xin took the flashlight and nodded almost simultaneously.
There are two rooms in the yard, a kitchen and a simple toilet.
Ming Xin pointed to one of the rooms and said, "My benefactor used to stay in this room every time he came here. I live in the room next door."
Jiang Xin walked into the room and looked around. There was only one bed in this room.
Jiang Xin saw a little straw rabbit on the bedside and examined it carefully. It seemed like Qi Yan's technique.
Apart from this, nothing else was discovered.
Walking into the next room, there was only one bed, but there were traces of various instruments that had been placed on the floor.
Ming Xin introduced, "When my benefactor rescued me, there were a lot of equipment in this room, which were said to be equipment that saved my life. They must have been moved away later."
"Was your benefactor the only one at that time? There had to be a doctor when he donated bone marrow to you, right?"
If there is a doctor, you can go to that doctor and ask about Qi Yan's whereabouts.
Ming Xin felt a little apologetic, "I didn't know. I fell asleep during the treatment. When I woke up, the treatment was over."
Jiang Xin sighed, "I'll also ask the neighbors."
Half an hour later, Jiang Xin and the others gave up asking because the neighbors said that the yard was only occupied in October last year. Since then, the gate has been locked and no one has spoken to the people in the yard.
But judging from the descriptions of the neighbors, Qi Yan and Ming Xin looked right.
This trip to Tongshi was a small gain. Even if Qi Yan was not found, it proved Ming Xin's innocence.
As for Yuan Jian's men not finding this out, Yuan Jian thinks it is understandable. After all, Qi Yan is definitely capable of hiding things he doesn't want others to find out.
In this way, Xie Yu, Mu Lan and others can rest assured that Jiang Xin and Ming Xin will continue to be friends, and they are also willing to help Ming Xin.
Jiang Xin asked Yuan Jian and the others to continue looking for Qi Yan.
Jiang Xin took the little straw rabbit back to his residence and placed it on the desk beside the bed.
I usually look at it when I have nothing to do.
Jiang Xin would whisper to the little straw rabbit every time, "Little rabbit, is Qiyan okay?"
The straw bunny would not respond to her, but today she discovered something strange about the bunny.
The grass used to make the bunny has many irregular pores, which you cannot see unless you look carefully.
Jiang Xin locked the bedroom door and entered the space.
"Space, please help me see if there is a password or anything like that on the straw. Qi Yan has been trained and may have left me a message in this way."
The voice from space came, "Xinxin, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed the pores on the straw. Unfortunately, I don't know much about passwords. I think Xie Yu and the others can understand it. You asked He Shu to help Take a photo, send it to Xie Yu, and ask him to help translate it."
"good."
Jiang Xin found some space and planned to go out.
I happened to see Ming Xin.
He said happily, "Ah Ming, I feel there are words left by Qi Yan on the straw. I'll find someone to translate it."
Mingxin looked surprised, "Great! Can I go with you?"
"good."
The two of them walked towards the trading company together.
When he got there, he saw He Shu and explained his intention.
He Shu agreed without saying a word.
Find a way to take clear pictures of all the pores on the straw, develop the photos, and mail them to Xie Yu.
After doing this, Jiang Xin and Ming Xin thanked him and left.
Jiang Xin did not forget to take away the little straw rabbit.
On the way back, Mingxin asked cautiously, "Xinxin, can I mention Qiyan in front of you?"
Since Tongshi came back, as long as Jiang Xin didn't take the initiative to mention Qi Yan's name, Ming Xin didn't dare to mention it.
Jiang Xin smiled slightly and said, "Okay. Just say what you want without any psychological worries. Brother Qi disappeared not because of you, but maybe because he had his own helplessness."
"Thank you for comforting me like this. Xinxin, Qiyan is a very important person to you, right?"
"right."
"How important is it?"
"It's so important that he's just like my family. I hope he spends every day well and happily. In fact, I feel that he is hiding from each of us."
"Do you really want him to be happy every day?"
"of course it's true."
"Then just listen to my advice and don't waste manpower and material resources to continue looking for him."
"Why not find him?"
"Because he once told me that he may lose a lot of things in the life he will live in the future, but he does not regret his choice because it is the happiest choice."
Jiang Xin stared into Ming Xin's eyes, "Did he really say that?"
"Yes. Xinxin, I didn't lie to you. I can swear that if I lied to you, my blood cancer would relapse..."
Jiang Xin quickly stopped him, "I believe it! You are not allowed to mention blood cancer in the future."
"Okay, it's up to you."
A week later, He Shu came to find Jiang Xin.
"Jiang Xin, Mr. Xie has cracked the code on the straw. It's what Qi Yan left for you. The content is on the paper. You can read it yourself."
Handed Jiang Xin a piece of paper.
Jiang Xin took it, opened it, and saw the contents inside.
"Xinxin, I am living a good life, no need to worry about him. Mingxin and I have become people with the same fate. As long as he lives, I will live."
After reading it, Jiang Xin carefully put the paper away...
———
Life goes on, and it’s the end of December in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Xin's class is actively rehearsing a program to be performed at the school's New Year's Day party.
Originally Jiang Xin didn't participate in any show, but Mingxin's partner in the double act was sick and hospitalized, so Mingxin asked Jiang Xin to help play that role.
Jiang Xin agreed without saying a word.
They would rehearse together every day after school.
The content of the double act is very simple. Jiang Xin is responsible for hiding behind and speaking, while Ming Xin is responsible for performing.
On the school New Year's Day party on December 31, their double act actually won the first prize.
At that moment, Mingxin was as happy as a child. However, he only received one certificate, and Mingxin insisted on giving it to Jiang Xin for safekeeping.
Jiang Xin reluctantly agreed.
But she put the certificate in her drawer instead of posting it on the wall.
On New Year's Day, school was on holiday. Ming Xin got up early in the morning and asked Jiang Xin to go out for fun.
Jiang Xin wanted to see Grandpa He and Grandma He and have dinner with them, but he didn't agree.
Ming Xin was a little unhappy.
