(Damn, today there was a power outage at 8 o’clock in the morning at home, I’ll update you immediately, and there will be one at 8 o’clock later.
"... Then Lao Fang left. The old woman in his family was like this. We didn't care about it. After seeing Lao Fang left, we all felt boring and broke up. But later, the next day Lao Fang didn't. Come, I went to Lao Fang's house after dinner at night, and I saw that there were many policemen in Lao Fang's house. At that time, I thought something was wrong with Lao Fang, but I only found out after I asked. It was gone!"
"Later I asked Lao Fang's old woman. She said that Lao Fang didn't go back last night. She had been at home waiting for him to eat, but no one came back. Later, this happened. The police looked for After a few days, I won’t look for it. His old lady comes here every day to set up a stall, and I’m not doing anything else, so I’m here to stare and see if I can find the old boy."
"I know so much. If there is anything else to ask, please hurry up. I'm going to get off work."
Guo Yan couldn't think of any other questions for the time being, and said, "Uncle, thanks, I don't have much to ask."
Back at the office, Guo Yan told Lu Tingnan what he had just learned.
Lu Tingnan said, "So can we be sure that Fang Guotao disappeared here?"
Guo Yan confirmed and said: "Basically it can be confirmed, but it is not clear how the disappearance was made. The police investigation report a year ago stated that they searched all the old districts here and did not find any traces of Fang Guotao. People seem to have disappeared out of thin air."
"The police only looked it up again?"
"Yeah." Guo Yan nodded, "Let's take a look at the current clues. First, the scope of Fang Guotao's disappearance can be determined, right here, including the lanes and surrounding old areas. Second, Fang Guotao said that he was buried. , This should not be wrong. Third, he was trapped under the street light, and he can move in a very wide range... ”
When Guo Yan said this, he paused suddenly, a trace of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, recalled for a moment, and said, "Baozi, I think we have always overlooked one thing."
"What's the matter?" Lu Tingnan was curious.
Guo Yan didn't say it directly, but walked out of the office, wiped bull's tears, and looked at the old man under the street lamp.
Lu Tingnan came to him, looked over, and asked, "What's wrong? What are we neglecting?"
Guo Yan frowned and said, "Look at his clothes."
Lu Tingnan took a closer look and found that Fang Guotao was wearing dark blue work clothes, the kind of clothes in the factory a long time ago. The clothes were very dirty, and you could see a lot of off-white things sticking to it. "
Guo Yan asked: "What do you think the gray things on his clothes look like?"
Lu Tingnan narrowed his eyes, then glanced at the ground under the street lamp, and suddenly realized, "Cement!"
Guo Yan nodded and analyzed: "Yes, the thing on his clothes is cement! He told you before that he was buried. Is it possible that he was buried under a construction site."
Lu Tingnan said, "It's so difficult that he accidentally fell in while Wutong Avenue was being renovated?"
Guo Yan shook his head: "No, Wutong Street was renovated in June last year when Fang Guotao disappeared. The entire Wutong Street has been renovated and it is impossible to be buried under the street."
Lu Tingnan tilted his head, "Where is that? Is it so difficult to be buried around?"
Guo Yan's eyes lit up, "It's possible!"
"Um." Lu Tingnan looked embarrassed.
Guo Yan said: "This is indeed possible. Think about it. Combining the conditions we know, Fang Guotao is likely to be buried around."
Lu Tingnan laughed awkwardly, "But, we can't dig around and take a look, there are still many people living here."
Guo Yan calmed down and thought about it. It is totally unrealistic to dig up all the surroundings. He looked at the street lamp and asked the unmatched words, "Is there any property in this community?"
Lu Tingnan shook his head, "This is the old city. There are no properties, only the neighborhood committee."
Guo Yan said: "You said, if someone here uses cement to fill in some potholes or shovel the lawn to repair the cement floor without authorization, do you want to tell the neighborhood committee?"
Lu Tingnan shook his head and said, "No."
"why?"
Lu Tingnan said: "Because this is the old town! Just like my house, it is a self-built house after demolition, and there is no property. Only the neighborhood committee, but if you want to change the environment next to your home, basically It’s up to you, and you don’t need to report to the neighborhood committee. Last month, my neighbor greeted the lawn outside the back door, and then refurbished the underground water pipes and covered them with a layer of cement, which turned them into parking lots. place."
"Okay." Guo Yan disagrees with this rude change.
Lu Tingnan suddenly understood what Guo Yan meant, "Guozi, you mean, someone buried Fang Guotao?"
Guo Yan shook his head, "I don't know, but it's likely to be the case."
"Um, if Fang Guotao is really buried, should we notify your brother and let him solve it?"
Guo Yan said: "Don't rush, first ask Fang Guotao, tell him what we know, and see if he can think of anything."
The two came under the street lamp again.
Guo Yan said with a smile: "Old man, we have just found some things. I want to ask you if you can remember anything."
"You ask, you ask." Fang Guotao said with a smile, and it seemed that the more tired he got, the more confused.
When Guo Yan was asking, Lu Tingnan noticed that Fang Guotao's Yin Qi was much heavier than before.
It seems that time is waiting for no one.
The old man who has been dead for a year cannot wait any longer.
At the rate of Yin Qi, Fang Guotao might really lose himself and become a demon in two days.
When asked about the cement, Fang Guotao suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, when I think about it, I remember, I seem to be buried by the cement, it seems, it seems that my head still hurts."
"The head hurts?" Guo Yan was surprised and hurriedly said, "Master, can you turn around and let us see your head?"
Fang Guotao turned around swayingly.
Guo Yan saw a wound on the back of Fang Guotao's head, dripping with blood, but there was no blood on the clothes behind him.
Both of them hadn't noticed before, so they didn't notice either.
Guo Yan said, "It seems that it is really a murder."
Fang Guotao couldn't remember what hit him in the head, but after reminiscing, he remembered a lot of things.
He said: "It seems, it seems to be around here..."
He said this, suddenly stopped, his eyes began to be confused, and the Yin Qi on his body became heavier again.
When he recovered, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said to Lu Tingnan: "Young man, you are here again."
Lu Tingnan and Guo Yan looked at each other, and said helplessly: "The Yin Qi has increased again, and his memory has begun to be confused."
Guo Yan said, "It's okay. I have figured it out now anyway. Let my brother come and investigate tomorrow. You should be able to find a clue."
