Chapter 433
The car was parked on the side of the road, and in front of it was the main entrance of an old residential area. Meng Yao stared at the pedestrians coming and going at the entrance and waited anxiously.

It has been 10 minutes since she called the other party, and the neighborhood doesn't look that big, if you want to figure it out, you should be almost there even if you come down from the last building.

Estimating the time in his heart, Meng Yao couldn't help but open the car door and get out of the car. He wanted to go to the door and wait, but he was afraid that he would put psychological pressure on the other party by going there.

Just as she was waiting impatiently, thinking whether to call the other party to remind her, a figure in a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans appeared in her sight.

"People are coming, drive over." Meng Yao turned to get into the car, then motioned to Lu Zhixing to drive slowly towards the woman in front who was cautiously looking around.

The visitor glanced at Meng Yao through the open car window to confirm, and finally opened the car door after much hesitation and got into the back seat.

And the woman who got on the bus was none other than He Yingying, the woman who secretly handed Meng Yao a note in the teahouse.

"How about, let's find a place to chat." Meng Yao looked at the other party's nervous look, turned her head and spoke softly in an attempt to offset the other party's defensiveness.

Now Zhang Lan's clues are considered broken, and He Yingying is their current breakthrough, so no matter what, we must get some inside information from her today, otherwise the investigation of this matter will increase a lot of difficulty.

As soon as He Yingying got in the car, she looked at Lu Zhixing from time to time, probably because he was a man, which made her feel uneasy and uneasy.

Naturally, these small actions of hers did not escape Meng Yao's eyes. She smiled and handed her a bottle of water, "Don't be nervous, this is my boyfriend. I came to you in my private capacity today after get off work."

"Don't worry, I definitely don't mean to interrogate you, I just want to know about Zhang Lan."

Seeing that He Yingying kept dawdling with the water bottle in both hands, Meng Yao knew that she was still nervous.

She thought for a while and signaled Lu Zhixing to drive, then stopped at the entrance of a coffee shop with a relatively better environment not far away.

"Come on, let's go in and have a cup of coffee as friends."

After entering, Meng Yao purposely chose a corner, which would give the other party a sense of security.

In order to ease her mood, Meng Yao also ordered two cups of ice cream, and after giving one to He Yingying, she directly picked up a spoon and began to dig into it.

It may be that Meng Yao's unaffected appearance made He Yingying relax a little, and she slowly picked up the spoon.

Seeing that she was eating more and more happily, Lu Zhixing couldn't help holding down the spoon in her hand, "Eat slowly, you have been working continuously lately and you haven't eaten in time, be careful that eating so much cold food will hurt your stomach."

"It's okay, I haven't eaten for a long time, just let me have a few more bites!"

Holding the ice cream cup in both hands and biting the spoon in his mouth, Meng Yao looked at Lu Zhixing with teary eyes, as if he disagreed with what a tragic thing it was.

Seeing how they were getting along, He Yingying suddenly said, "You two have such a good relationship. If she can also have such good luck to meet a good man, maybe this kind of thing won't happen in the future."

The "she" in her mouth, Meng Yao, knew immediately that she was referring to Zhang Lan.

Then he took out the spoon in his mouth, dug a large spoonful and stuffed it into Lu Zhixing's mouth, and looked at He Yingying without blinking, like a child who is watching you wanting to listen to a bedtime story.

He Yingying glanced at Lu Zhixing who was frowning helplessly but raised the corner of her mouth to put the spoon into her mouth, then sighed, took a small mouthful of ice cream with the spoon and put it into her mouth.

"Zhang Lan and I were waitresses who joined the teahouse in the same year. Because we are both children of poor families who came to work in other places, we rented a house together."

"Zhang Lan's personality is just like her appearance. She is not aggressive towards anyone. Even if she loses her temper, she is obedient and blushing but doesn't speak. She doesn't yell or anything like others. The performance is very obvious.”

"I lived with her for two years, and I never saw her lose her temper, only that one time!"

Speaking of this, He Yingying dug a large spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, and it was cold to see her eyes closed, but she just gritted her teeth tightly, as if she was enduring something.

Then she recalled the day that impressed her so much!
"I worked the night shift with Zhang Lan that day. It was almost seven o'clock at that time. Neither of us had eaten yet, so we ordered a takeaway to eat in the lounge next to the front desk in rotation."

"Chen Jinsheng is a frequent visitor of our place, and has a good relationship with our boss. Even if he doesn't play cards, he often goes there for tea."

As she spoke, she dug another large spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, and did not continue speaking until she felt the coolness and calmed down.

"To be honest, I'm usually a little afraid of this person, not because of anything else, but because I always feel that he makes you feel creepy when he looks at you, so I panic."

Meng Yao ate the ice cream quietly, but she took small bites, her eyes sparkled like a good baby.

"I ate first that night, and then Zhang Lan."

"Because our chess and card room has three floors, the guests who come to play at night usually prefer to be on the top floor if they want to be quiet, so sometimes they need something and ring the bell and we will go up."

"I told Zhang Lan that night when I went upstairs, and she opened the door of the lounge to eat inside, and when I came down again, I couldn't find her no matter how hard I looked."

Speaking of which, He Yingying began to cry, and the hand holding the spoon kept shaking, as if recalling something terrible.

"I was also to blame that night. The guests upstairs drank and broke a tea set that night, and made a mess on the chess and card table. I stayed on it for more than 20 minutes."

"But when I came down again, Zhang Lan was gone."

gone?
Meng Yao turned her head to look at Lu Zhixing, and then turned to He Yingying, "What do you mean by missing? How could such a big living person disappear out of thin air?"

"Where did she go? Isn't there surveillance at the front desk? Didn't you watch the surveillance?"

He Yingying wiped away her tears, "I saw it, but so what?"

"Her?" Meng Yao asked hesitantly, but she didn't say the name for a long time.

"Just two or three minutes after I left, Chen Jinsheng appeared on the surveillance camera. Seeing that he couldn't stand upright when he was walking, it was clear that he drank a lot that night, and then!"

He Yingying couldn't continue, she covered her face with her hands and began to cry. The voice made the waiters and customers beside her couldn't help but look sideways.

Meng Yao smiled and raised her hand to signal them, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my sister is broken in love, please forgive me, I'm sorry."

Maybe it was because of hearing Meng Yao's constant apologies to others, He Yingying also felt that she had lost her composure, so she hurriedly stopped crying and wiped her tears with a tissue.
