Heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor, but they couldn't match the beating of hearts in everyone's chests.
The clamor is brewing and is about to explode.
…
"arrive."
Zhuge Yun, who was counting the floors, stopped and looked up at the house number in front of him.
501.
…
"Ding Dong~Ding Dong~"
The clear and loud doorbell suddenly rang.
Almost everyone was frightened.
Of course, except Xiao Xiao who pressed the doorbell.
…
"Ding Dong~Ding Dong~"
The doorbell rang again and again, but no one answered.
…
"Not at home?"
Zhuge Yun said hesitantly, and then felt discouraged.
The whole person felt sluggish.
They worked so hard to get here, but it turned out that they weren't at home at all? !
…
Everyone felt helpless.
Especially for Wang Tong, the uneasiness in his heart not only did not weaken after not seeing his little brother, but in fact became more intense.
However, if there is no one at home, where should she go to find him?
…
"Wang Tong, do you know where Su Xun works?"
Zhao Luzheng suddenly turned his head and asked.
It just occurred to him that today is Monday. Isn't it natural that no one is at home?
So many of them haven't thought of this?
Sure enough, everyone was panicked by the possible disappearance of Yu Xiao.
…
Wang Tong said blankly: "My little brother is a freelance writer and photographer, and he has no fixed place of work."
"And these are his days off."
"Logically, he should be at home."
"My little brother said that he walks a lot when working, so he doesn't like to move much during holidays. He likes to stay at home and be lazy."
…
"Um."
Zou Xinning nodded. She was there at the time and she still remembered these words clearly.
At that time, she was still a little emotional that a man who looked so elegant would choose such a free and casual job.
She still remembered the bright light in the man's eyes when he mentioned his work, although she didn't understand why it only flashed away and then was suppressed by something.
Zou Xinning was stunned. She seemed to have discovered that Wang Tong's little brother seemed to be hiding something.
But the hidden things may also be the other party's private matters, but they just overthink it.
In short, everything has to wait until we see each other.
…
There was silence at the top of the stairs.
There is no one at home and no fixed place of work.
Especially now that I'm on vacation.
So, if they want to find this person, if the other party doesn't answer the phone, they really have nothing to do.
…
"Are we going to keep waiting?"
"Or go back?"
Zhuge Yun asked.
…
Everyone looked at each other.
I didn’t know what to decide for a while.
Just go back like this... They are unwilling to do so.
But, just wait and do nothing?
They were also restless.
…
"We'd better call the police."
Zou Xinning suddenly spoke, her expression serious and serious.
"Call the police?!"
Wang Tong suddenly came back to his senses and repeated in a panic.
…
Everyone else also looked at Zou Xinning.
"Um."
Zou Xinning scanned the crowd and said, "Xiaotong and I are going to call the police. You can send another boy to accompany us."
"The remaining three boys are waiting here."
"We are divided into two groups."
"In this case, if anything happens to Xiaoxiao, we can try our best to take care of it."
…
It has to be said that Zou Xinning's method is indeed the best of both worlds at the moment.
Therefore, Zhang Bo stood up first and said, "I'll stay."
"None of them know Su Xun."
…
indeed.
Zou Xinning nodded.
Among these boys, only Zhang Bo, who was with them at the time, had seen Su Xun and knew what Su Xun looked like.
No matter what others say, he really wants to stay.
…
"I'll accompany you to the police station."
Zhuge Yun walked to the side of the two girls.
In terms of body shape, he is the shortest and thinnest among the boys.
Therefore, arresting people is really not his expertise.
I don’t even have the capital to pretend.
But when it comes to being sharp-tongued, there is no one else.
…
"Okay, that's settled."
Zou Xinning pulled Wang Tong, who looked restless, "Xiaotong, I, and Zhuge Yun went to the police station to call the police."
"You three stay and wait for someone."
"Call me anytime if you have any questions."
…
"good."
"good."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng responded one after another.
…
"Third brother?"
Zhao Luzheng turned to look at Xiao Xiao, who had been listening carefully with his ear against the door. Subconsciously asked: "Did you hear anything?"
"without-"
Xiao Xiao's words stopped abruptly, and he leaned back against the door while he was half-rising. His eyes lit up, "Wait a minute, there is a sound inside!"
...
As soon as he started ringing the doorbell, Xiao Xiao put his ear on the door.
Just a guess.
If a person doesn't answer so many calls from a girl he considers his sister, then even if he is at home, the possibility of opening the door is probably infinitely close to zero.
…
Unfortunately, the doorbell kept ringing.
The only thing that was ringing was the doorbell.
Xiao Xiao didn't hear any noise from inside the door.
Just when he was about to give up, he finally caught the subtle sound in the door.
He guessed correctly.
…
"What?"
Zhang Bo, who exclaimed in surprise, obviously lowered his volume with the second word after seeing Xiao Xiao's gesture asking him to pay attention to his volume.
…
Everyone else looked at Xiao Xiao with bewildered expressions.
Zhuge Yun also directly listened to the door.
The cold touch jolted him.
He rubbed his ears, got a little closer, and listened carefully, but he didn't hear anything.
Just as he was about to question, Zhuge Yun suddenly thought of Xiao Xiao's special ability.
Since even monsters can see it, it doesn't seem impossible to hear the movement inside through the door, right?
…
Zhang Bo pushed Zhuge Yun away and tried it himself. Half of his face was squished out of shape, but he still found nothing.
Seeing this, Zhao Luzheng couldn't wait to listen after Zhang Bo stood up and moved his position.
As expected, he heard nothing.
…
Finally, both girls tried it one by one.
To their disappointment, they heard no sound that would indicate anyone was inside.
They couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao with a bit of suspicion.
"Xiao Xiao, did you really hear the sound inside?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
He heard it clearly, but Xiao Xiao frowned. The "rustling" sound of rubbing across the wooden floor did not sound like it was made by a human being.
Inexplicably, he had a bad premonition rising in his heart.
…
"Since the third child said he heard it, it must be right."
Zhang Bo said matter-of-factly.
"yes."
"Um."
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng nodded.
