I picked up a ghost and took it home

When it was almost dawn, Ye Fan turned off the light, leaned wearily on the arm of the sofa, and fell asleep in a daze.When he woke up again, he found that he was lying on the sofa with a quilt covering his body. Yuan Sen was making breakfast in the kitchen, and Li Xuan was sitting beside him, playing with the cat Shisan on the table like a child.

Ye Fan glanced at his watch, at seven o'clock in the morning, he slept for two hours.He sat up, stroked Li Xuan's hair, his voice was a little hoarse, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Seeing that Ye Fan had woken up, Li Xuan happily turned around and hugged Ye Fan's neck, and replied with a smile: "Yeah."

Ye Fan also hugged Li Xuan, stroked Li Xuan's back, and asked softly, "Did you have a dream?"

Li Xuan froze slightly, her smile faded, "No."

Ye Fan was silent for a while, then said softly, "That's good."

Yuan Sen put the cooked porridge and fried eggs on the table with a bang.Ye Fan looked at the soft and glutinous multigrain porridge and the fried round and tender sun egg, and looked at Yuan Sen in astonishment.

Yuan Sen's face darkened, "What are you looking at, you have a bad temper and can't even fry an egg?"

"No." Ye Fan babbled, it was too unexpected, I thought Yuan Sen was a pampered rich second generation, but I didn't expect to be so good at cooking - this sun egg is so good, probably only Ye Fan has been cooking for a long time Only those who eat can see it.However, Ye Fan was still surprised, and praised, "I always thought Daoist Yuan was the kind of person who drank milk and ate bread, but I didn't expect porridge to cook so well."

"If it weren't for Pang's bad stomach, who would want to drink this kind of shitty shit." Yuan Sen said angrily.

"Pfft, cough cough!" Ye Fan was choked by the porridge in his throat, and almost couldn't spit it out, but he was stuck for a while, unable to swallow, and his face was almost red.Li Xuan quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, reached out to caress Ye Fan's back, and said in panic, "Hang Yi, are you okay?"

Hearing the name from Li Xuan's mouth, Yuan Sen, who was losing his temper, and Mao Shisan, who was drinking porridge, quieted down at the same time, looking at Ye Fan and Li Xuan quietly.Ye Fan acted as if he hadn't heard, stretched his neck and swallowed the rotten shit-like thing with difficulty, and waved his hand at Li Xuan, "It's okay, cough cough, hey, Daoist Yuan is really... One word is astonishing."

Yuan Sen stared dumbfounded at Ye Fan, who looked like a normal person, and thought, it wasn't me who made the surprise statement, it was Li Xuan, brother Ye, he just looked at you and called someone else's name!

Ye Fan finished coughing, took Li Xuan's hand, squeezed it firmly in the palm of his hand, and smiled at Li Xuan, "I'm fine, I was choked by Yuan Daoist's words, it's fine."

Then Li Xuan looked at Ye Fan's face, startled for a moment, the panic on his face gradually faded away, and he became quiet.He lowered his head in a daze, and responded with a word: "Oh."

Ye Fan looked at Yuan Sen again, and said earnestly, "Daoist Yuan, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago."

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Sen stared blankly at Ye Fan and Li Xuan, still unable to recover.

"You can be more frank. Especially," Ye Fan said seriously, "especially when facing Captain Pang, be more frank and gentle."

Yuan Sen's heart was shocked, and he was speechless for a moment.

After breakfast, Ye Fan washed the dishes, and Yuan Sen came over to help. He glanced at Li Xuan who was sitting on the sofa having fun with Mao Shisan, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ye, what's wrong with Li Xuan?"

Ye Fan lowered his head and poured water on the dishes, and said softly, "Xin Pan said that he will be resurrected, and he will remember the past."

"Then what was his name just now?"

"Probably, it's me from the past." Ye Fan stacked the dishes neatly on the shelf, and said with frowned eyebrows, "He has been in a trance every day when he wakes up, and he will be fine after a while."

"The look in his eyes just now was full of worry. Probably, it wasn't a particularly good memory." Yuan Sen sighed softly.

"Yeah." Ye Fan also looked back at Li Xuan who was smiling like a child at the moment, only to see Li Xuan was smiling, and suddenly calmed down with Mao Shisan in his arms, with a silent expression on his face.

Officer Liu came to the police station a long time ago, and as soon as Ye Fan and the others arrived, he led them over to watch the surveillance.

The monitoring time was adjusted to the night of the 21st, and it was more than 1:22 in the morning—that is, 1:[-] in the morning of the [-]nd. On the screen: Pang Guang was wearing his old jacket that had never changed for thousands of years, smoking a cigarette, and opened the door to enter the office.

I read it back and forth three times, but I couldn't see anything abnormal about Pang Guang, nor could I see any "ghost" around him.

Ye Fan wrote down the time and guessed that the road conditions were good in the middle of the night, and it took about 10 minutes from Pang Guang's house to the police station, so Pang Guang set off from his home at about 12:30, that is, when his ex-girlfriend was around [-] o'clock in the evening. Possibly still at Pang Guang's house.He suddenly thought, if he checked the surveillance cameras near Pang Guang's house, he might be able to see his ex-girlfriend in person!

Immediately afterwards, the screen from the morning of the 23rd was called up: Pang Guang came to the police station at ten o'clock and entered the office.

As Police Officer Liu said, there was nothing abnormal, but his expression was too refreshing, as if he had a refreshed mind, and he walked into the office swaggeringly.

There is no surveillance in the office, so the rest of the pictures are empty corridors.It looked a little dark, and it was so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable.Ye Fan asked the operator to fast-forward, until at 10:30, the door of Pang Guang's office opened from the inside with a "bang", and Pang Guang rushed out of the monitoring range with his disheveled hair.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Fan seemed to have seen something, "Look at it again."

——Pang Guang, with disheveled hair and pale face, rushed out of the surveillance range.

"Look again." Ye Fan tried hard to see what Pang Guang seemed to be holding in his hand when he rushed out.

——Pang Guang had disheveled hair, pale face, trembling mouth corners, clutching a small lipstick in his hand, and rushed out of the surveillance range like crazy.

"Lipstick!" Yuan Sen saw it.Ye Fan also saw it. He looked at the operator, "Look at the picture of Captain Pang returning to the police station at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Captain Pang didn't come to his office at that time, he was only recorded at the gate of the office, and then he entered the director's office." The operator explained.

"Okay." Ye Fan said.But as soon as the picture came out, he immediately called "Pause!"

"This person is... Captain Pang?" Ye Fan pointed to the young man on the screen with short hair, shaved beard, and wearing a suit. Before that, he had only seen Pang Guang clean up twice before. Once it was because of a funeral, and the other time it was still a funeral.

Officer Liu added, "This is indeed Captain Pang. He came in from outside that afternoon and made it very formal. I thought he was going to a wedding or funeral."

Ye Fan confirmed that Pang Guang on the screen was not holding lipstick in his hand, and stared again to identify the expression on Pang Guang's face. Compared with when he rushed out in the morning, he was much calmer, as if he had made up his mind to do something.He frowned and asked, "What is the reason for Captain Pang's resignation?"

"Tell the chief that he is going to do something important, but if the chief asks again, he won't say more."

"Can you tell which way he went out?" Ye Fan asked.

"When you leave the courtyard, you turn west. Captain Pang's house is also on the west side. I mean his hometown." Officer Liu said.

"Captain Pang's hometown, is there a way to get in touch?"

"This is probably possible. When I joined the job back then, I filled in the contact information and home address. As long as I haven't moved or changed my phone number, I can get in touch."

"Brother Ye, do you mean he might contact his hometown?" Yuan Sen asked.

"Although I don't know why Captain Pang didn't contact us, but Captain Pang has parents at home, no matter what he is going to do, it is impossible not to explain to his parents." Ye Fan said, at least he didn't think Pang Guang was that kind, A person who can abandon his parents for his own sake.

After Yuan Sen heard that, he felt relieved.

Several people gathered around Police Officer Liu's desk, looking at the information that was transferred, Ye Fan dialed the landline reserved on the page, but after calling twice, the prompt "The number you dialed is an empty number."

"It may be that the phone has been changed. Now the elderly use mobile phones more, and rarely use landlines." Officer Liu said.

Ye Fan quickly copied down the contact address, and said, "Officer Liu, can you help me check Captain Pang's entry and exit records in Xuanyuan Ancient City? And his recent phone call records?"

"Yes." Officer Liu agreed.

"Thank you."

"Don't say that, we really didn't expect that Captain Pang would disappear, otherwise everyone would have started looking for it." Officer Liu said hastily.

Ye Fan was no longer polite, and took Yuan Sen and Li Xuan out of the police station and got into a taxi. He asked Yuan Sen for advice, "Before going to Hongdou City, I want to check the surveillance near Captain Pang's house. Maybe I can see him and that ex-girlfriend, I always think that ex-girlfriend is a bit strange."

Yuan Sen didn't object, and suddenly said, "Thank you, Brother Ye, obviously Pang Guang always bullies you, and I have a bad temper. Something happened to him, and you still care about him so much."

Ye Fan was taken aback by the sudden thank you, it took him a while to react, he glanced at Yuan Sen in the rearview mirror, and said softly, "Why be so polite, if something happens to me, or if something happens to Li Xuan I believe that you and Captain Pang will do our best to help. We are friends, and we should."

After finishing speaking, Ye Fan himself was taken aback for a moment. In his whole life, he had not only a lover, but also friends.Only a year ago, at this time last year, he was still a loner, thinking that by not contacting others, he was protecting others and helping the society.He always thought he would be alone all his life.

But now, it's completely different.

Since when?

If you think about it carefully, it must have started when you met Li Xuan.

It seems that after meeting Li Xuan, his life has become completely different.

When the community security heard that they wanted to watch the surveillance, they refused at first, since it involved the privacy of the residents. It was not until Ye Fan showed his police ID that he reluctantly agreed.Ye Fan didn't like to show his police ID at first, he always felt that his name was unfair, but this time, he didn't hesitate.

The surveillance footage started on the night of February 2: at around 21:[-] p.m., Pang Guang entered the elevator with half a roast duck in his hands—he looked quite normal in this series of images.

Moreover, Yuan Sen found out the call records of his mobile phone. On the night of February 2, around nine o'clock, Pang Guang also called him twice, but he was angry and didn't answer.

Since Pang Guang came home, finished his roast duck, and was still in the mood to call Yuan Sen, it meant that his ex-girlfriend hadn't come back at this time.

Ye Fan then asked the operator to fast-forward the screen to after nine o'clock in the evening, and then everyone stared at the screen together until 12:[-] in the evening, when Pang Guang walked out of the elevator alone and drove away in his small broken car, without finding anything suspicious young woman—

Not to mention suspicious, the building where Pang Guang lives is mostly single young men, and occasionally there are two young girls who go in and out.

Then until dawn on the 22nd, no one suspected of Pang Guang's ex-girlfriend came out.

At around 2:22 p.m. on February [-], Pang Guang came in carrying a plastic bag from a nearby convenience store. There were not many things in the plastic bag, but some snacks.With sharp eyes, Yuan Sen saw the two cups of milk tea.

After another two hours, at ten o'clock in the evening on the 22nd, the elevator door opened again with a ding, and Pang Guang came out—he seemed to be holding a suitcase in his hand, talking to his side , with apologetic and melancholic faces on his face, he stopped, stretched out his arms and hugged the "person" beside him, and opened his mouth to say something——

Ye Fan and Yuan Sen stared blankly at the picture, because there was no one around Pang Guang at that time.

Only Pang Guang came out of the elevator.

Pang Guang had no suitcase in his hand at all.

No one talked to Pang Guang, and all the behaviors of Pang Guang looked like a lunatic talking to himself.

Li Xuan looked at the picture, but said: "The girl sent by Captain Pang is the owner of the lipstick."
