Su Qingxing's father seemed to be busy at work, so when he returned home at noon, Su Qingxing did not see the serious and unfriendly father, only the smiling mother piled up the table with vegetables.
The quantity and quality of the dishes gave people the feeling of having a reunion dinner during the festival, but there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. Obviously, there were only two diners, Su Qingxing and his mother Su Ye.
"Are there any other guests?" Although only two sets of bowls and chopsticks were seen, Su Qingxing checked because there were too many dishes on the table.
"What's the matter? Is it too much?" Mother Su Ye didn't seem to feel that the lunch was too extravagant. Instead, she smiled and said, "You rarely come back to eat, so you can't help but cook a few more dishes."
Rare to come back for dinner
Su Qingxing felt a little strange. Since he was a day student, even if he didn't come back for lunch, dinner should be settled at home. Why did the mother in front of him speak as if he hadn't been home for a long time
"If you see a dish you like, you must eat more!" Su Ye sat opposite Su Qingxing, watching her son with kindness, "Mom only remembers what you liked when you were young." , now that you are grown up, even your mother doesn't know what you like to eat."
Is it because there is too little communication between mother and child
Su Qingxing tasted one dish after another. Although there seemed to be nothing outstanding in the taste, and some dishes tasted too salty and sweet, Su Qingxing just felt that this lunch was very special. Even the place on Su Qingxing's chest felt warm. Feeling hot, I ate a lot at noon without knowing it.
It wasn't until Su Qingxing... was full due to physical reasons that the lunch that could barely fit the table came to an end.
"Why do you insist on eating when you can't eat more? You can let your dad come back to finish the leftovers at night! By the way, is there no class this afternoon?" Su Ye poured a glass of water for his son with some distress, while clearing the table Putting the bowls and chopsticks on the table, while chatting with Su Qingxing, "Would you like to go back to the room to rest for a while, and I will turn on the air conditioner in the room for you first?"
"Don't bother me now, it might be difficult to rest now." At first, Su Qingxing planned to take a nap in the free afternoon, but after enjoying his mother's big meal just now, Su Qingxing just wanted to walk around and digest , I completely lost the intention of lying on the bed and rubbing my stomach.
"Mom, I'll clean it up for you." Su Qingxing really doesn't have a big appetite, so even if he eats freely, he won't be able to eat too much, so he cleans it up neatly right now.
Those who put in the refrigerator are put in the refrigerator, and those that are thrown away are thrown away. The mother and son work together, and the restaurant is quickly cleaned up.
It's just that Su Qingxing's stomach is still a little uncomfortable, so he simply put away the idea of wanting to sleep and prepares for the rest plan in the afternoon.
It was precisely because of this change of plan that Su Qingxing temporarily decided to go to the bookstore downstairs where he worked as an hourly worker, and ask if there was anything he could do for him.
But when Su Qingxing went downstairs and walked to the door of the bookstore, he found that there was a temporary closure sign on the door of the bookstore, the glass door was locked, and all the lights inside were turned off. Obviously, the store was empty.
Oops!
Seeing such a situation, Su Qingxing immediately understood the plan of the bookstore owner.
Because the boss didn't want other people to continue to be involved in this disappearance case, he lied to Su Qingxing that he would not act until night, but he packed his things early and set off as soon as he had clues!
That guy didn't intend to ask other people to help him further from the beginning, and there was only one place he would go, and that was the place they thought the only clue was... the school named Guizhu!
Thinking of what happened at school in the morning, Su Qingxing knew that it was indeed unsafe and full of weird people and places, but the faces of the bookstore owner and the other two people repeatedly appeared in Su Qingxing's mind, and the boss mentioned the missing wife The look on your face when...
Su Qingxing, who dawdled at the door of the store for a while, gritted his teeth, and finally turned around and walked quickly towards the school.
I always feel that if I don't go, I will regret it!
When Su Qingxing arrived at the school, the lunch he had eaten earlier seemed to have been digested to a certain extent, and beside the low flowers near the weird school building, there were two sneaky-looking courier cats. There.
The profession of courier is very common on university campuses, and sometimes it can be said to be everywhere. But when those two stood up, Su Qingxing quickly recognized their figures and profiles!
"Cough!" Su Qingxing coughed lightly standing not far from those two people.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Su Qingxing appearing behind him, the owner of the bookstore looked a little embarrassed, "We..."
"I still have class in the afternoon, so I came over after a good meal." Su Qingxing did not say that he had obviously asked for leave, but now he ran over immediately, but lightly regarded this meeting as a chance meeting.
"So that's the case, then go to class quickly!" The boss and Tong Yan, who must follow him, are both wearing the uniform of a certain courier company. It is inevitable that some embarrassment will arise when seeing Su Qingxing, but the boss tried his best to make him His tone seemed more natural, as if he really met him by chance on the street.
"Boss, do you really think you can find clues to the disappearance case like this?" Su Qingxing looked at the two people in front of him, and then at the low flowers next to him. If there was something hidden there, it should be obvious at a glance up.
"Actually..." The boss stubbed out another cigarette, sighed and said, "Actually, we wanted to find that Teacher Bai, but he never came back to the office, so we tried to stay here."
"What about after seeing Bai Chu?" Su Qingxing could understand the boss's desire to find his missing wife, but some things can't be done with passion.
"If he is the murderer, then he has abducted five or more missing persons, including strong men." Su Qingxing looked around and made sure that there were no other people behind. Only then did he lower his voice, "If he wasn't the murderer, would he scare the snake away?"
"But Mr. Bai's clue was found by you, Su Qingxing." The boss scratched his head with a puzzled expression, "Why on earth did you send that short message to Tong Yan?"
"I don't remember." After thinking for a while, Su Qingxing still told the truth, "I don't know whether I have amnesia or something. I don't have any memory of yesterday, and even the memory of the previous twenty years is very vague. To be honest I still don't remember what your name is, the bookstore owner... So I'm sorry, I really don't remember why I sent that text message."
What Su Qingxing said obviously surprised the bookstore owner in front of him, but maybe it was because his expression was very sincere, and he didn't seem to be lying at all, so the two in front of him didn't immediately define Su Qingxing as a mental illness like Bai Hua did.
"You lost your memory?"
The bookstore owner and Tong Yan were wearing overalls, so they squatted down next to the flower bed. The boss held two cigarettes in his hand, and after being rejected by Tong Yan, he simply put away the cigarettes again.
"Tell me carefully, what's going on?" The boss looked up at Su Qingxing curiously.
Seeing the two of them squatting, Su Qingxing, who had been looked up to all the time, was a little uncomfortable, so he also sat down on the flower bed and told all the weird things he had experienced.
The dream I vaguely remembered when I woke up today.
Parents who seem to be in another life, and those who stay up late at night that they don't remember at all.
The strangeness of the teaching building behind them, the bulletin boards in the corridors that are incompatible with the university campus, and the way of class.
And the black rice cake that teacher Bai Chu gave, what Teacher Bai said in the mirror...
Then to the library in the mist, the warning from the man in the mirror, Bai Chu's words urging to eat, Su Qingxing told the boss in front of him everything that happened to him for most of the day, without even worrying that the other party had other plans.
This is not only because Su Qingxing has an unreasonable trust in the two people in front of him, but also because these words sound more like an absurd story to those who don't believe it. Apart from being considered crazy, There also appear to be no other adverse effects.
"That is to say, this Teacher Bai is very kind to you, and even brings you food, and looks very kind..." the bookstore owner concluded, "But the person in the mirror who looks exactly like Teacher Bai tells you Teacher Bai is very dangerous, and even trapped you in the library in the mist to protect you?"
"I guess so." Su Qingxing nodded, "Judging from Bai Chu's instructions, there is indeed something wrong with that piece of black rice cake. But the only doubt is that that piece of black rice cake was originally given to his younger brother Bai Hua alone Yes, I just changed my mind midway and gave me half. If there is really something wrong with the black rice cake, didn't Bai Chuyi only want to hurt his brother at first?"
"Even if there is a problem with the black rice cake, what does he have to do with the disappearance case?" Tong Yan was at a loss, "It is impossible for Mr. Bai to take the black rice cake to the street every time, and force-feed it to him." Can someone else eat it?"
"If that's the case, my wife can fix him until he can't take care of himself." The boss seems to be very confident about his wife's fighting power. "There must be something that we have neglected."
"The most important thing is the whereabouts of the missing person." Su Qingxing thought for a while, "How did Bai Chu abduct the person? Where did he hide the person? This is something we must clarify."
"Another person is missing." The boss glanced at the phone. "People I know in the bureau said that a person walked into the changing room of the mall with clothes and never came out again. When someone went in to look for it, that person Has disappeared."
"locker room?"
"Yes, and there are many people in the mall, and there is a line outside the locker room, but no one knows where the other party left. It is also very strange." The boss looked puzzled.
"The dressing room..." Su Qingxing suddenly thought of something, "Is there... a mirror in the dressing room?"
"You mean... the disappearance case is also related to the mirror incident you encountered?" Tong Yan felt even more troubled, "Isn't the person in the mirror good? Didn't he still want to protect you?"
"I'm just guessing. After all, there is no other explanation, is there? And the person in the mirror is exactly the same as Bai Chu. It is hard to believe that there is no relationship between them." Su Qingxing frowned, "Even if the person in the mirror People are kind by nature, maybe... under coercion?"
"Then what should we do?" The boss' eyes lit up.
"Go to the person in the mirror again!" Su Qingxing thought for a while, "It should be safer than going to Bai Chu directly."
The person in the mirror once showed his favor to Su Qingxing, which meant that Su Qingxing could still ask them about other things.
