Chasing stars is not as good as chasing agents

Ji Shi hurriedly called Ji Lai again, but the phone was turned off.

He couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up and rushed out, just as he rushed downstairs, he was grabbed by Gu Jianchi who rushed over.

Ji Shi's face turned pale, and his tone changed anxiously: "I'm going to the police station."

Gu Jianchi shook his hand: "I'll go with you."

Ji Shi wiped his eyes. With Gu Jianchi here, although he was still anxious, it was no longer the kind of anxiety that had nothing to rely on. He sniffed and muffled, "Well, thank you."

The two stopped talking and hurried to the police station in the jurisdiction.

A tall and thin policeman received them. After Ji Shi explained the situation in detail, the policeman turned on the computer and checked Ji Lai's ID information for him, because Ji Lai was not from Dongcheng. The police can only find information about Ji Lai's departure from Dongcheng to go abroad.

The police said: "Your brother is not easy to deal with, because the place where the police were reported, the place where the missing person and the place of household registration are located across three provinces, and a coordinated investigation is required. You should go back and wait for news. We will notify you when we have news."

Ji Shi said anxiously: "Comrade policeman, can you help me take a look again."

The police comforted: "It's not that I don't want to help you look, but it's because there are permission settings, so I can't find it. In fact, boys like this age probably ran away from home after a fight. You can contact his classmates and teachers." , See if they have any news, I will help you contact colleagues in the other two cities as soon as possible to cooperate with the investigation, if there is news, I will notify you."

The policeman also suggested: "Actually, the fastest way is to report to the police in the city or place of residence where your brother disappeared last."

Ji Shi said dumbly: "Okay, okay... I see, thank you for your hard work."

After leaving the police station, the street was as hot as a steamer, but he felt the bone-piercing cold, which made his body shiver. When going down the steps, his feet went limp and he fell forward.

"Be careful." Gu Jianchi caught Ji Shi with sharp eyes and quick hands, but Ji Shi didn't seem to notice it, like a puppet on a string, the original bright eyes lost their luster, Gu Jianchi felt sore, and rubbed Ji Shi When the head.

Ji Shi lay in Gu Jianchi's arms, choked up and said, "What should I do? Where did this brat go... How could he lie to me! No, he will never lie to me, nor will he lie to me for no reason. Missing, something must have happened to him! Something must have happened!"

Ji Shi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, grabbing the corner of Gu Jianchi's clothes and muttering incoherently to himself.

"Don't scare yourself!" Gu Jianchi held his arm and encouraged him to cheer up, "You have to take care of yourself first before you can find your brother. You are so confused now, if you haven't found your brother yet, What if something happened to you again?"

"Calm down first." Gu Jianchi's gentle tone was full of stabilizing power.

Ji Shi took a deep breath, suppressed the soreness in his throat, and said, "You're right."

"Think about when you chatted with your brother these days, is there anything wrong with your brother? Then follow the advice of the police to contact his classmates and friends."

"That's right, that's right, I'll find his friends first." Ji Shixing had played games with his younger brother and his younger brother's friends when he returned home before, and he added those friends as friends.

Ji Shi was in a hurry to find someone, and of course it was impossible to just send a message and wait for a reply, so he called directly on WeChat.

Gu Jianchi reminded: "Don't be too aggressive in your tone, just act more anxious and worried."

Ji Shi had a good understanding, he didn't need Gu Jianchi to explain the reason, he understood what Gu Jianchi meant, he nodded: "I understand."

If Ji Shi was too aggressive, he might tell Ji Lai's friends who knew the situation but would not dare to tell him.

Ji Lai's friend connected quickly, and the other person was also a handsome young man.

Ji Lai's friend: "Wow, Brother Xiao, long time no see, you look handsome! Are you asking us to play games?"

When Ji Shi saw the other party's attitude, his heart turned cold. The other party must not know about Ji Lai's disappearance, otherwise he wouldn't be so joking and thinking about playing games.

Ji Shi told the other party about Ji Lai's disappearance, and the other party's surprised expression didn't seem fake.

"Brother Xiao, I really don't know about this. I thought he was studying in Beicheng, and he didn't mention coming back before. Did you call Xiao Lai? Did he never answer?"

Ji Shi's prediction was verified, and he felt like falling into an ice cave, his lips trembling slightly: "Xiao Lai's phone is turned off..."

"Then I'll ask other students to see if anyone has seen him. Don't worry, I'll go right away."

"Okay, thank you." Ji Shi said later, his eyes were red, and he choked up, "Please tell your classmate for me, even if he really did something wrong, I won't blame him, but...but Please don't let him go missing!"

"Okay, I know."

Ji Shi hung up the phone with despair in his eyes. His body was shaking and he was almost unable to stand still. Fortunately, Gu Jianchi supported him. He raised his eyelids and gave Gu Jianchi a grateful look.

Now the people around him have become his only support.

Gu Jianchi calmly said: "I just booked the latest flight, we will go back to your hometown to find someone."

Ji Shi was startled, and looked at Gu Jianchi in surprise.

"I also entrusted my friend to help me find someone in Beicheng and your hometown. Don't worry." Gu Jianchi patted Ji Shi's arm and said, "The main reason is that I trust your brother, he is not that kind A person who will do bad things."

Ji Shi didn't expect that when he was on the phone with Ji Lai's friend just now, Gu Jianchi had already arranged everything.

His eyelashes fluttered violently, and his breathing became rapid. After a long while, a whimper escaped from his throat, bitter and hoarse.

Ji Shi rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, and slowly leaned against Gu Jianchi for a while.

Ji Shi choked up and said, "Thank you."

***

On the way to the airport, Ji Shi leaned on the car seat, trying hard to recall the content of the chat with Ji Lai during this period, hoping to find some clues from it.

"I recalled it carefully. Our chat was nothing special. He just asked me if I was tired from work and if I was busy. We used to talk about these things, but I felt that he didn't seem to be very interested in chatting, but I didn't either. After thinking about it, I thought he was in a bad mood because he lost a game or had a fight with a friend, maybe... maybe I should have asked him more at that time."

"You, do you think he was abducted? Or he witnessed the illegal activities of some criminals, was... was..." Ji Shi became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and he couldn't help shivering.

In fact, Gu Jianchi was also worried about this, so he asked the underground forces in the two places to help find someone. If something happened to Ji Lai, those people would have a better chance of finding someone.

Gu Jianchi patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Analyzing rationally, the possibility of your brother having an accident is very small, because he went home without telling you, which means it was planned."

"..." Ji Shi was silent for a few seconds, covered his forehead, and smiled wryly, "You're right, this, this is actually good news for me."

Gu Jianchi said: "Close your eyes and rest first, and recover your spirits. We will find someone as soon as we get off the plane."

Ji Shi's mind is very confused now, he almost does what Gu Jianchi says, "Okay, I'll rest."

He closed his eyes and tried to let himself rest, but when he closed his eyes, he saw all kinds of chaotic scenes. He was afraid that he would find his younger brother in the end. His younger brother was just a cold...

Ji Shi couldn't think about it anymore, he turned his head and buried it on Gu Jianchi's shoulder, the breath of Gu Jianchi made him feel peaceful.

Gu Jianchi deliberately moved her upper body in his direction in order to let him lean on better.

The two hours on the plane are extremely long for Ji Shi, and every second is like a whole year.After the plane landed, he put his hands on the buckle of the seat belt. Once the plane came to a complete stop, the stewardess signaled that he could get off the plane. He quickly unfastened his seat belt and hurried out.

But actually after getting off the plane, Ji Shi was at a loss, there was a huge crowd, where should he find someone?

Gu Jianchi reminded him methodically: "Look at your mobile phone, did classmate Ji Lai reply? Then we will go to the police station."

Ji Shi came back to his senses and hurriedly took out his mobile phone. Sure enough, Ji Lai's friend left him a message. None of the classmates had Ji Lai's whereabouts, and everyone thought that Ji Lai was still studying in Beicheng, but everyone promised that as long as there was Ji Lai's If there is any news, notify Ji Shi immediately.

Gu Jianchi pulled Ji Shi and said, "Let's go, let's report to the nearest police station. If your brother comes back, maybe we can investigate the video surveillance at the airport."

On the way to the police station, Gu Jianchi received a message, and he immediately told Ji Shi: "The hacker I found found out that the last place where your brother's phone appeared was in Mingjiu Cave. Where is this?"

Ji Shi's whole heart is now on Ji Lai, so naturally he didn't think about asking Gu Jianchi where to find the hacker, anyway, no matter what means, it would be great if he could find his brother.

Ji Shi wondered: "Mingjiu Cave is the busiest business district in our city, but that place is far away from my home, how could he appear there..."

"No matter what, let's tell the police the news, so that the police can help find someone."

The two hurriedly went to the police station near the airport to report the case, and the police station quickly accepted the case, and they were divided into two teams, one team went to the airport to investigate the video, and the other team went to Mingjiudong, and Ji Shi, Gu Jianchi and the others looked for someone.

After an afternoon of searching, Ji Lai still has no news.

Ji Shi tried to call Ji Lai's phone a few more times, but it was still turned off.

At night, the police will close the team. They said they will continue to search, and they will notify Ji Shi as soon as there is news, and ask Ji Shiduo to communicate with Ji Lai's classmates, maybe they can get clues, and ask Ji Shi Go back to rest first, before others find it, I am exhausted first.

Ji Shi numbly thanked the police, but he still insisted on searching.

Gu Jianchi couldn't bear to persuade Ji Shi to go back to rest, so she could only accompany him to continue searching, until their legs were about to break, Gu Jianchi persuaded: "Go back and rest first."

"I don't rest." Ji Shi was so tired that his throat was already smoking, "You don't have to accompany me, I will find it myself."

Ji Shi took two more steps before he fell to the ground from exhaustion. He struggled to get up, his body was staggering, and he could hardly stand still. Fortunately, Gu Jianchi held him back.

"I arranged for someone to continue the search, and Ji Lai's photo was sent to them. They are all good at finding people, and you must rest now."

Ji Shi turned his head and looked at Gu Jianchi with difficulty. He wriggled his pale lips, and it took him a while to say a word: "Okay."

Ji Shi took Gu Jianchi back home. When he went downstairs, he found that the lights upstairs were actually on. Ji Shi's body froze, as if he had come alive again. He quickly got into the elevator and rushed to the room. go home.

In the living room, his familiar figure was buried in his head, not knowing what he was doing there.

"Ji Lai!!!"

"Brother!" Ji Lai turned around in panic, "Why are you back?"

Ji Shi rushed over, grabbed his younger brother's arm, and said angrily, "Where did you go? Why didn't you tell me you quit the group? Why did the phone keep turning off when calling you!"

Ji Shi finished the interrogation almost without punctuation, and finally lost all strength.

After a while, he kept touching Ji Lai's arms and face in disbelief, carefully checking up and down: "It's okay, it's okay, you're still alive and hot, do you know that I'm I'm afraid that when I find you...you've already...already..."

Ji Shi couldn't go on talking.

Compared to Ji Shi's excitement, Ji Lai first showed a blank expression. He thought his brother was making trouble for him because of his unauthorized resignation from the group, but now it seems that it is not?

Ji Shi patted Ji Lai's arm: "Why did you turn off the phone and not answer my call!!"

Ji Lai said awkwardly: "Brother, my mobile phone was stolen. It must have been turned off by the thief. I just bought a new mobile phone and am working on it. I want to call you when I am ready."

There was indeed an old mobile phone on the coffee table, and Ji Lai was obviously studying how to put the new calling card in it.

Ji Shi: "..."

After a long time, is it such an oolong?

"You...you..." Ji Shi was a little out of breath, his body stepped back, and then touched Gu Jianchi, he half leaned on Gu Jianchi, and said happily, "You really want to kill me , I thought something was wrong with you."

When the words fell to the ground, Ji Shi's eye circles turned red, and crystal tears rolled in his eyes.

"Brother, don't cry, I'm fine, really." Ji Lai jumped on the spot, expressing that he was still alive and kicking, then he reached out to help Ji Shi wipe his face, but Ji Shi waved it away. Immediately afterwards, he saw Ji Shi's anger filled up again, and he grabbed his collar fiercely.

"Then why did you leave the group?! Ji Lai, hello, you! You quit the group without saying a word today. Does it mean that you will be unhappy tomorrow and drop out of school?! Then you sneaked to a group without saying a word. unfamiliar city?"

"Where did I feel sorry for you? Tell me! Did I, Ji Shi, feel sorry for you?" Ji Shi was in a state of rampage now, his eyes were wide open, and even his hair was full of anger.

He grabbed Ji Lai's collar tightly, and soon his face turned red.

Seeing this, Gu Jianchi who was next to him hurriedly stopped Ji Shi, and persuaded him: "Don't get angry, as long as the person is fine, you can talk about anything, and everything can be resolved."

Gu Jianchi's words pierced Ji Shi's heart, and the tears he had accumulated for a long time fell down in a flash, that's right, as long as people are fine, it's easy to say anything.

When Ji Lai saw Ji Shi crying, he himself felt uncomfortable. He sucked his nose a few times, his eyes became more and more red, and then burst into tears.

When he cried, he frightened Ji Shi and Gu Jianchi.

"Brother, why did you hide it from me, woo woo, I always thought that you were a big manager in Dongcheng, made a lot of money, and lived a very good life, so you could afford me to study in such a good school and study abroad, woo woo ..." Ji Lai, who was 1.8 meters tall, burst into tears like a kindergarten child.

Ji Shi was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding Ji Lai's clothes slowly dropped, showing a hint of embarrassment and bitterness that his younger brother had seen through.

"This time I met a classmate in the tour group. He has a relative who is also an agent in the entertainment industry. He said that ordinary agents can't make that much money a year. You don't use the surplus money to support me. Studying, you are using all your money for my education!" Ji Lai wiped his tears and said, "I should have found out a long time ago, the place you live in is an old community, if you really make a lot of money, Why do you live there, and many things in your house have been used for a long time and have never been replaced with new ones, I said you were stingy, and you said you were stingy."

"..." Ji Shi was speechless, feeling angry and helpless that he just wanted to hit someone in the end. His younger brother exposed him, saying that it was fine for him to be poor, but he actually stepped on him, emphasizing the matter of being stingy.

The younger brother's words were salt, sugar, and sour, all kinds of taste spread in Ji Shi's mouth.

"I... I was wrong, I shouldn't say that about you, you are stingy because of me, I was wrong, brother, woo woo woo, I'm sorry. I don't want to study in a private school anymore, I'll transfer to an ordinary school, I don’t want to study for a Ph.D. in the future, it’s too expensive, I’m going to work after finishing university, and come out to earn money earlier.”

Ji Shi's anger had been slowly extinguished, but after hearing Ji Lai's words, his little flame ignited again.

"What did you say? Didn't you say that your dream is to get a Ph. D., to study abroad, and to be a scientist in the future?"

"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go, and I won't go on any study tours during the winter and summer vacations. I will work part-time and earn my own tuition fees! What kind of shit is a dream!" Ji Lai sneaked back this time. I went to make money as a tutor for children.

"Say it again!" Ji Shiqi didn't say anything. He asked Ji to study, partly because the other party was his younger brother, and partly to make up for the regrets of the year, so now Ji Shi heard that Ji Lai should not study further. , he was more angry than pleased.

Ji Lai shrank his neck, not daring to speak.

"Ji Shi." Gu Jianchi was a bystander who could see more clearly and calmly than his two brothers, and advised him, "I know you are very angry, but your brother's intentions are kind, and he is distressed. you."

"Ji Lai, it's true that your brother didn't earn much before, and it was hard to provide for you, but recently his work has improved a lot, and it's not as miserable as you think, and he will earn more and more in the future, and live a better life." It's better to come."

Ji Lai seemed a little disbelieving, he hesitated and said, "Brother Gu, really? Don't help me."

When Gu Jianchi heard the words, she couldn't help but sighed, and then laughed helplessly.

Ji Shi was on fire, he grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it over: "You don't need a donkey, you're just a donkey head!"

Ji Lai was beaten obediently, and bit his lip, not daring to argue.

"Really, the new artist brought by your brother is going very well. Recently, he has completed his work very well. The company gave him a bonus. This shows that your brother is very good and has been reused by the company."

Ji Lai's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Ji Shi, guessing that his brother was really angry, so he said weakly, "I also think my brother is very powerful."

Ji Shi: "..."

Faced with Ji Lai's overtures, Ji Shi was very conflicted. His younger brother meant well, but there was indeed a pang of anger in his heart that could not be relieved.

Ji Lai: "Brother..."

"My head hurts." Ji Shi waved his hand, a little uneasy.

Ji Lai stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

Gu Jianchi said: "Ji Lai, go back to your room, I have something to tell your brother."

Ji Lai let out a cry, and immediately went back to his room, but he left a crack in the door, quietly listening to the conversation outside.

In the living room, Gu Jianchi and Ji Shi were sitting side by side on the sofa, Gu Jianchi was next to Ji Shi, his voice, body and breath all made Ji Shi feel comfortable.

"Didn't you tell me that brothers don't have overnight feuds? Your brother is fine, it's the best ending."

"I think you should have a good chat with your brother. In fact, your brother sneaked back this time because he was reluctant to let you endure hardships. And he went to work as a tutor to make money, not to play around."

Ji Shi rubbed the center of his brows, sighed, "I know..."

"Your brother is almost an adult, and I feel that he can take on the responsibilities of the family. Although you are working to a higher level now, no one can always be smooth sailing. If you encounter difficulties in the future, it will be difficult for your brother , you should tell him."

Gu Jianchi glanced at the mobile phone on the table, and said, "This is probably the oldest mobile phone, a very cheap one."

Ji Shi's eyes also fell on the old mobile phone: "..."

After a while, Ji Shi withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Gu Jianchi held his hand and called gently, "Ji Shi?""

Ji Shi smiled bitterly: "You're right, I think I'm pushing myself too much, I shouldn't carry it alone, but communicate with my brother more, I can't treat him like a child anymore, in fact, I just grabbed him I found out when he was wearing clothes, he is taller than me."

Ji Shi paused for a moment, deliberately compared with his thumb and index finger, and emphasized: "It's only a little bit taller."

Originally, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was quite serious, but Gu Jianchi was amused by Ji Shi's words.

Ji Shi snorted softly, as if a little unconvinced: "Who knew this kid was so tall."

Gu Jianchi heard his tone and knew that he had thought about it, so she rubbed Ji Shi's head.

Ji Shi stood up and walked to Ji Lai's room: "Let's have a good chat."

"Okay!" Ji Lai immediately opened the door to greet Ji Shi.

Ji Shi stopped before going in, and took a deep look at Gu Jianchi: "Thank you so much today."

If Gu Jianchi hadn't been by his side today, comforting and taking care of him, he might have driven himself crazy.

Gu Jianchi smiled slightly, and her amber eyes became bright and attractive.

After Ji Shi entered the bedroom, Gu Jianchi stayed in the living room alone, thinking that Ji Shi and his brother would soon be able to talk, he also breathed a sigh of relief, first ordered a takeaway with his mobile phone, and then hugged Holding a pillow, leaning on the sofa relaxedly, looking at the home carefully.

Gu Jianchi discovered that the house was bigger than he imagined, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the decoration was more exquisite than he imagined.

But there are many strange things in this house. For example, the curtains are made of lace, the blackout curtains are pink, which is not like the style that these two fraternities like, and the dust cover of the refrigerator is also lace. In addition to pillows, there are many cartoon dolls on the floor, and the kitchen is an American pastoral style.

In short, the decoration and decoration of the whole house are relatively sweet.

Gu Jianchi was wondering when his cell phone rang. It was the takeaway he had just ordered. He got up and went out to get the takeaway. When he came back, the two brothers had obviously reached an agreement. They called and told them they were home and safe.

Ji Shi was looking for him everywhere, and now he has found the bathroom.

When Gu Jianchi looked at Ji, she poked her head out, wishing she could find him out from the crack in the wall, she couldn't help feeling amused: "I'm here."

Ji Shi turned his head and said with a sigh of relief, "You're back, where were you just now?"

"I think you two were crying and arguing today, so you must have consumed a lot, so I specially ordered a takeaway." Gu Jianchi put the takeaway on the table and said to Ji Shi, "Especially you, you also found The whole day, people haven't stopped, and haven't eaten much, so they must be hungry."

Ji Shi touched his nose: "I'm very hungry."

Ji Shi knew that his brother and Gu Jianchi had been looking for him for a whole day, and immediately felt a little restless, so he quickly opened the takeaway and helped Ji Shi and Gu Jianchi get their meals.

"What did you order? It smells so good." Ji Shi looked curiously.

"Maocai." Gu Jianchi joked, "I got so angry, I just need to make up for it."

Ji Shi couldn't laugh or cry: "You still make fun of me."

While they were chatting, Ji Lai had already opened the food, and then distributed the rice and chopsticks to Ji Shi and Gu Jianchi.

"Brother Gu, thank you today, thanks to having you here."

Gu Jianchi smiled and said: "Small things, don't make decisions on your own in the future and scare your brother."

Ji Lai said: "Okay, I will never dare again."

Maocai is actually a spicy stew. Beef, pork, meatballs, tofu, dried kelp, and various mushrooms are cooked together in a pot. When it is finally out of the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds, coriander and green onion. It is fragrant and attractive. If you can eat the taste If it is heavy, then use red soup to bibimbap, which can make people feel numb, spicy and refreshing.

Ji Shi and Gu Jianchi were more reserved when eating, but Ji Lai was not so polite.

"Ahhh!! It's so spicy, it's so fragrant, it's so delicious! Brother Gu, you are so good at ordering, you actually chose the most famous maocai restaurant near my house in one go." Ji Shi brazenly blew the rainbow fart.

Gu Jianchi said happily, "It's just as long as you like to eat."

"I like to eat like to eat." Ji Lai howled again, matching his hot red mouth, it looked a little scary.

Ji Shi coughed lightly, reminding Ji Lai: "Pay attention to your image."

Ji Lai blinked and said, "Brother Gu is not an outsider."

After hearing this, Gu Jianchi felt even happier, but he didn't show his happiness, pretending to be reserved.

"And I think..." Ji looked at Gu Jianchi, then at Ji Shi, and said, "When you were talking in the living room just now, you looked like my parents." Actually, Ji Lai didn't enjoy the care of his parents much, so He just feels like it.

"Ahem!!!" Ji Shi coughed violently, and he didn't know whether he choked on the chili pepper or was frightened by Ji Lai's words.

Gu Jianchi couldn't hold back anymore, he smiled slightly: "Do you like it?"

Ji Lai nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking rice: "It looks like it."

Ji Shi blushed with embarrassment, and quickly stuffed the Coke into Ji Lai's mouth: "What nonsense."

Gu Jianchi smiled beside her until her eyes were narrowed into a line, as if every cell was happy. Such a happy day was unprecedented, and such a shy Ji Shi was also very pleasing to the eye.

Although Ji Shi tried his best to stop it, Gu Jianchi obviously didn't want to let go of this topic, and asked maliciously: "Then who do you think is the father and who is the mother?"

The author has something to say: It is quite happy to write about the three of them getting along~

I broke my liver again, and stayed up all night to update the code. I can't stand it anymore. Let's change the update to [-] pm tomorrow.
