Anya heard Xia Mingzhi talking on the phone on the terrace.
She spoke in Chinese in a low voice, "Mom, I want to go back to China. ... No, I just suddenly want to go back. ... I have something to do. I will make arrangements for the school. ... No one will take care of me anymore. ... It’s really not necessary, Mom.”
When Xia Mingzhi turned around, she faced Anya across a glass door with a panicked look on her face.
"I'll settle the latest charges."
"Come back?"
"Come back. Classes at school aren't over yet."
Anya endured it for a while, but obviously a girl who grew up in the West couldn't bear it at all.
"You didn't go back specifically to see Dr. Che, did you?"
Xia Mingzhi's expression hardened.
"Xia Mingzhi, I have always regarded you as a very good friend."
"Me too."
"So I will never use the idea of for your own good to carry out moral kidnapping."
He nodded in agreement.
"But this time as a friend, can I tell you the truth?"
"Some true words can hurt and are not meant to be spoken. Not to anyone."
"That female forensic doctor, there's something wrong with the way she looks at you."
His face turned a little colder.
Anya knew she had hit rock bottom and knew it was time to let go. She has always been a very free and easy girl.
"Xia Mingzhi, I like you, you know it."
He sighed, "I thought you liked me the same way I liked you. But now it seems there may be a bit of a misunderstanding."
At this time, she could actually laugh out loud as if nothing had happened, and Anya admired herself very much.
"What kind of love do you have for me?"
"Between friends, they appreciate each other. They have similarities and differences."
"What about me to you?"
Xia Mingzhi seemed to think about the words secretly, "Xiao Fei, that girl."
Anya was obviously not on the same page as him.
Xia Mingzhi had no choice but to continue, "We both had the same views at the time. Then she chose you."
"Ah?" Anya couldn't believe what she heard, "Xia Mingzhi, you don't think I'm... bisexual!"
"No. I always thought you only liked girls. And you have similar eyesight to me."
"Misunderstanding!"
"That's right." He laughed a little sarcastically.
This is a bad joke.
Anya suddenly realized that he had not misunderstood, and had never misunderstood. He is very accurate in judging people and has studied psychology, so there is no way he could irresponsibly misunderstand her.
"It's too much, you know."
"I know. Sorry..."
"Except for the female forensic doctor, can't anyone else?"
"Why."
"I don't know, I really don't know. I just think she can't do it..."
"Is it the so-called sixth sense of women?"
"You know, the way she looks at you is like...as if something very old has been sealed?"
Xia Mingzhi suddenly took a deep breath, "You felt it too? You thought it was an illusion."
"She is older than you. Xia Mingzhi, didn't you say that you only like pure and well-behaved silly people? Life is too tiring and you don't want too much entanglement."
It's the world-weary thing he would say.
But what should you do if you encounter it
Before leaving, he went to the university and found the professor who had poured ice water on him.
The professor looked sullen and wanted to say, "Go away, go away! If you leave, never come back again."
"What's up."
"Which organization does that discussion group belong to?"
"have no idea."
"How is that possible? You invited me."
"It is a comprehensive organization similar to public welfare. Everyone comes from different regions, schools, and institutions, and it is organized voluntarily."
"What about the organizer?"
"Group mail."
There was an unexpected desolation in my heart.
He got the group email address.
But there is no pattern at all in the email addresses composed of weird pinyin, English, and symbols.
In fact, you can also CC the whole group, but that would seem very strange.
Moreover, there was no secret code between Che Lin Wan and Che Lin Wan, so that the other party could recognize him at a glance.
Even if he recognizes him, the other party may not want to talk to him.
The project is huge and arduous.
After a long flight of more than ten hours, I left the airport and dropped myself directly into a nearby airport hotel.
I ordered a dozen beers and cornflakes, then covered my head and started to get jet-lagged.
Halfway through his sleep, the landline phone in the room rang. This kind of airport hotel is very cheap and often provides special services for men in the middle of the night.
Xia Mingzhi stretched out a hand and cut off the phone cord, then closed his eyes and fell into a forced sleep.
One of the advantages of having a thorough knowledge of psychology and hypnosis is that it can trick the brain into feeling the need for sleep even under physical conditions that do not require it. This is a great way to combat jet lag.
After waking up from sleep, I felt energetic and rosy.
The room is very small, only about 20 square meters. You can see the whole room as soon as you open your eyes.
He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, glancing at the small cards on the carpet that had been slipped through the crack of the door, and he was not prepared to pay attention to them.
But inside the card was a small white envelope.
He walked over and picked up the envelope. It was a message left for him by the front desk. During the time of jet lag, a phone number called him countless times and left a message that he needed to reply to.
Ha, really persistent.
I opened my travel backpack, washed my face with simple shaving water, rinsed my teeth with a travel toothbrush, dug out the remaining corn flakes and nibbled two of them, my eyes stopped on that number.
Looks like a network number.
When I dialed the number, there was an empty number on the other side.
rough! Throw it directly on the ground.
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind and I called again using the virtual phone.
This time it actually worked.
"Which one?"
"Xia Mingzhi! Boy, you finally knew you were back. I thought you were dead... and even held a memorial service for you in the air."
"Who are you."
"ah?"
"I said, who are you?"
"Me? Are you kidding me? You still don't know who I am."
"do not know."
"T-then... Dr. Che must remember it."
"Che Linwan?"
"Hey! People of the opposite sex are inhumane. Keep pretending, keep pretending."
Neuropathy. Just hang up.
But the other party still dared to fight.
"Xia Mingzhi, where have you been?"
"Say your name first, otherwise I will fail."
"Bai Shoudao. Ye Jialuo? You really don't remember? You came to me and told me that my brothers are optimistic about your skills and we will make a fortune together in the future. You don't even remember? Che Linwan and her aunt were When someone was kidnapped, I was the one who helped to catch him. In order to chase the girl, you used all kinds of black magic, and even gave him a location phone and a sports watch. It was all my money. I don’t remember. "
"what are you talking about?"
There are nerve axes at the bottom of the brain that are beating like crazy, sending out danger signals.
The instinct of the body's defense mechanism told him not to ask any more questions.
But wasn't the purpose of his trip just to find her, to uncover the reason why he couldn't look away from her.
"Let's make an appointment, Bai Shoudao."
"Downstairs of my company?"
"what ever."
Bai Shoudao works as a system program maintainer at a financial company in the urban area.
This job is overqualified for him, but the benefits are good. And it’s an easy job, mindless.
Bai Shoudao designed a worm that runs automatically.
Then I pretended to be sitting there typing on the keyboard, and actually looked at JOJO through the small window.
Beautiful.
A programmer wears a standard plaid shirt, has square eyes, is skinny and pale.
Looking at Xia Mingzhi's darkened complexion, I almost couldn't help but pinch it.
"What do you mean you thought I was dead?"
"When that car forensic doctor came to me, she told me not to track your whereabouts in the future. Looking at her expression, I thought you were dead. But luckily I didn't listen to her. My migratory bird system has been in all major cities in the country. It's working secretly. As long as your name and face appear, it can detect you."
Xia Mingzhi looked at the dry programmer in front of him seriously in surprise. He couldn't tell that he was a top expert.
"Look how nice I am to you! I'll tell you the good news as soon as I get back. Brother, I'm getting married, and I'm planning to ask you to be the best man."
This is not the point.
"I just said that Che Linwan asked you not to look for my whereabouts in the future?"
"Oh yeah, it was so weird back then."
"When did this happen."
"It was more than 2 years ago."
"I've been missing for 2 years?"
"Yeah. Otherwise, why would I think you were dead... Where did you hide? Did you commit something? My intuition tells me that it is related to the forensic doctor Che. But this woman, oh, is too cold."
"What did she tell you, what did she say about me."
Bai Shoudao turned his head silently, with an expression as if he had eaten shit, "Xia Mingzhi, do you... don't remember her at all?"
Hackers have a terrible habit of retaining memory fragments that are like black holes.
In the dark, dry underground warehouse rented by Bai Shoudao and arranged like an altar, he used tablet computers one by one to connect to the hard drive host without surgery.
After connecting, run it quickly to determine whether you need the information from a single section of characters.
After discovering that it is not the case, quickly move to the next one.
Xia Mingzhi squatted on the air-conditioned concrete floor, using a tablet computer with a short data cable to browse the conversation records on the hard drive. Some were communications with Bai Shoudao, and some were with Che Linwan.
"She was married?"
"Alas! I only discovered this later. Did you know it at the time?"
"I interned at WSTI Institute?"
"That's right. You also dropped out of medical school. Did you have constant headaches at that time?"
"The reason my dad left the country was bankruptcy?"
"Otherwise. He is the Minister of Justice and is prosperous at home. Who would go abroad?"
"How come you know so many things and haven't been silenced yet?"
"...Are you serious?"
"Who is this guy?"
Bai Shoudao looked at him and then at the photo. "Ask again."
"who is it?"
"Look at the name."
With a swipe of your finger, personal information pops up on the screen.
Xia Xiyuan.
"She...she is..."
"Your daughter!"
"ah!"
"You're kidding. You can't give birth to such a big daughter at your age."
Looking at all the records is like looking at the life of a character in a virtual life.
"Bai Shoudao."
"Have you remembered?"
"No. But, I seem to like forensic doctor Che Linwan very much."
"Sigh... Can this be called liking? You don't even care about your life."
"Then why should I leave her."
"Ask you!"
"She's at WSTI now?"
"Didn't you go to Germany? Didn't you say you met her in Germany?"
"She has returned to China."
"No!"
"How did you know."
"I've been keeping an eye on your sister-in-law for you, brother! I think her marriage must have been emotionless. The person in her heart must be you. Because she has no interaction with her ex-husband at all. Instead, she has been She is secretly taking care of your sister. And according to her consumption records, she has been single since you disappeared."
"Sure?"
"Brother, you are the one studying psychology."
"No. I asked her about being single and taking care of my sister."
"... It looks like this from the data. Alas, is your sister the illegitimate daughter of either of your parents? Why is her treatment so different from yours?"
"I guess so."
Xia Mingzhi went to the address Bai Shoudao gave him.
In the small garden of a private villa surrounded by greenery, a girl wearing a fluffy princess dress was playing Frisbee with a Dalmatian dog.
She looked a little abnormal, and the light in her eyes was unusually hot.
The girl occasionally raised her head and smiled faintly in the direction of the second floor terrace.
The middle-aged woman who was busy mowing the lawn noticed Xia Mingzhi, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Xia Mingzhi withdrew his gaze with some fear, "Doctor Che, is forensic doctor Che Linwan here?"
The middle-aged woman was obviously a little surprised, "Doctor Che doesn't live here. She is just a friend who often comes to see the young lady."
"Do you come often?"
The woman nodded, "It can be said that he is the lady's only friend."
Probably after hearing Che Linwan's name, Xiyuan ran over, "Sister?"
The woman immediately coaxed, "Sister went on a business trip and hasn't come back yet."
"elder sister!"
"I haven't come back yet. I will bring you a gift when I come back."
Upon hearing the gift, Xiyuan ran away with a satisfied smile.
"Where are her parents?"
The woman said calmly, "The house she lives in now and my salary are all provided by her parents. She also has a cousin, but she still comes to visit occasionally."
"Thank you for taking care of a patient like her."
"It's not hard. Working here is not work. I just look at the pity girl. She is so beautiful. If she didn't have this disease, her family would not care about her."
After walking out of the villa, Xia Mingzhi placed one hand on the tall fence with electric grid.
He retched violently.
I pressed my left hand on my chest, and the dull pain came unexpectedly, heartbreaking...
"Sir?" A young security guard driving a small battery car passing by ran over to check on him anxiously, "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the security room and rest for a while?"
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Why is there such a big blind spot in my memory
"Mom, I will go back to school in Germany in a few days, don't rush me."
Ma Jiaxunyi was arrogant on the other end of the phone, "With the same virtue as your father, I always have to worry about you. How is Mrs. Wuhu's daughter that I introduced to you? Please contact her as soon as possible."
"Mom, I have a girlfriend."
"Alumnus from Germany? People are praising her. If you have time, check out the screen with me and see who the little girl is."
"Jet difference."
"Don't make excuses with me. If you make any more excuses, I'll come here on my own."
"Mom... why did you leave the country at that time?"
"Hey, what's going on? Why do you suddenly think of asking this now? Don't be scary. What are you doing? Did you meet someone?"
Ma Jiaxunyi's tone was obviously alert.
Ma Jiaxunyi is the kind of person who can hire a private detective to investigate her husband at a high price. If she is cruel, she can even kill her own son. Xia Mingzhi doesn't want to offend such a mother at all.
He suddenly felt that perhaps staying away from such a family was the best outcome for Xiyuan.
"Lao Xia, are you leaving?"
This time Xia Mingzhi hugged Bai Shoudao forcefully.
"Send me the invitation."
"Is it for my wedding?"
"You're not asking me to be the best man."
"Huh? Can you really come?"
"Yes. Of course I have to be there for my brother's wedding. I also asked for leave from school and don't have time to meet my sister-in-law."
"I'm really waiting for you to come back! Don't lie."
"No matter where I am, you can find me, right?"
"How about you rent a server for me in Germany?"
"Okay, what's the problem?"
"Xia Mingzhi, you will remember it, right? This amnesia is temporary, isn't it because there was a car accident?"
There was a dark cloud in Xia Mingzhi's eyes.
He always felt that someone was deliberately not reminding him of something.
