The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

"You...should have that kind of relationship too." The client sitting opposite me said so.

I was taken aback when I heard this, and I couldn't help tilting my head to express my confusion: "What kind of relationship?"

Bian Yao beside him immediately denied Sanlian: "No, no, no, no, how is it possible."

I looked at them blankly: "?"

Yao Cheng was also stunned, "Don't you live together?"

"This is another matter!" Bian Yao said, "We are roommates, roommates!"

That's right, less than a month after Bian Yao categorically rejected my request for co-renting, he was kicked out because the owner of his rented house decided to sell the house.It was just halfway through the semester, and there was no one renting a house outside the campus, so he had to knock on my door reluctantly.

"Yes, yes..." I was blocking the door with my arms folded, and I sat on the ground and raised my price: "But you have to be nicer to me in the future."

Bian Yao asked helplessly, "What a good way."

"Be nicer," I said, "stop yelling at me."

"Then you can consider yourself not to be stupid any more."

Seeing that I was about to close the door without mercy, he quickly said: "Wait a minute, I understand." He showed an expression that was more embarrassing than asking him to speak in front of the whole school: "I...I will try my best. "

"Oh... I'm sorry." Yao Cheng interrupted my memory, he lowered his head in a murmur, and continued, "In short, after a long period of time like this, I finally realized that it's not just Xiaofei who is right. My dependence is unhealthy, and my dependence on him is equally pathological. When Xiao Fei was not around, I just muddled along, worked overtime crazily, and ate casually. Only after I had Xiao Fei did I gradually start to take life seriously. In fact, I also Use him as an excuse, as a lifeline..."

"Although I sometimes miss his sunny days, I enjoy his dependence and trust on me even more, that... the feeling that I am the only one in his world. It seems that I can completely own and monopolize a person This kind of distorted sense of satisfaction makes me even hope that Xiaofei will always be like this, not be healed, and completely belong to me."

After he finished speaking, he buried his face in his hands as if ashamed, and I said hesitantly: "I have an immature little guess."

Bian Yao: "Don't say it if you're not mature."

I ignored him and asked, "Have you fallen in love with Xiao Fei?"

Yao Cheng raised his face and nodded.

I nodded slowly: "Oh..."

Bian Yao asked: "Then what? Are you planning to help him reconnect with society? Although we have entrusted a lot of tasks, we are not psychologists after all. It would be more reliable for you to find a professional."

Yao Cheng said: "I know. The more Xiao Fei trusted me, the more he made me feel guilty. So after I reflected on what I did, I decided to have a frank talk with him. I wanted to tell him, I like him, although I like him no matter what he is, but I want him to be healthy, happy, and have a bigger life besides me. For this reason, I am willing to stand by him and help him until he becomes that He is satisfied with himself."

Bian Yao stared at me and said with disgust: "Can you stop showing such a moved expression, it's disgusting."

I didn't bother to talk to him, I was completely immersed in this beautiful love story, I couldn't wait to see the ending of HE, and asked: "And then what? What does Xiaofei say?"

Yao Cheng's blushing cheeks turned pale, and his expression gradually dimmed: "I confessed to Xiaofei just as I said just now, and... kissed him. He reacted very immediately, his face flushed, Just ran away from my house."

I probably showed the so-called aunt's smile: "Hey hey hey, Xiaofei is shy."

Yao Cheng raised his head: "Then, Xiao Fei disappeared."

"Xiao, disappeared?" I was stunned when I heard this, "What do you mean, did he move away?"

Yao Cheng shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "It just disappeared, as if it never existed."

"After Xiaofei ran away that night, I just thought he couldn't accept what I said for a while. To be honest, it was the first time in my life that I confessed to someone, so I was actually quite shy." He scratched his neck.Although Yao Cheng was wearing a suit, he had a baby face. He looked a few years older than me, and he was a gentle and handsome guy.I'm sitting awkwardly with my knees together in my family's crumbling dining chair.

In the future, if clients often come to your door, shouldn't you consider buying a slightly better chair?

"So what is the disappearance method?" Bian Yao, who was neither refined nor gentle, asked impatiently.

"After Xiaofei ran away, there was no news. He didn't come to me, and I was too embarrassed to go to him. I thought it was nothing if I didn't respond on the first day, but it was a bit strange not to come to my house for two or three days in a row. I I went to his house and knocked on the door and ignored me, and no one responded when I knocked on the wall at night." Yao Cheng said, "So I couldn't help but start worrying about his health, for example, if he hasn't eaten these days, What should I do if I faint at home?"

"Are you raising chickens? You are too worried." I couldn't laugh or cry.

Yao Cheng was a little embarrassed: "So I went to the administrator of our building and explained the situation to him, hoping that he could cooperate and help me open the door of Xiao Fei's house."

Bian Yao said: "Can people agree? Isn't your behavior like the neighbor's strange uncle, ouch!"

I backed off kicking him and asked, "And then?"

Yao Cheng said: "The administrator looked at me like a madman. He said that the room next to me had long been empty."

I:"……"

I rolled up my sleeves and put my arm in front of Bian Yao's face: "Look at my hair, it's standing on end!"

Yao Cheng bit his lip: "I was also terrified at the moment, subconsciously I didn't believe it. The administrator said that this room has been empty for a long time, and the owner probably didn't need money, so he didn't take the initiative to rent it out. At the beginning, there were occasionally a few people looking at the house, Over time, it seems that the head of the household has also forgotten about this matter, but the key has always been with him."

"So the manager took the key and took me upstairs and opened the door... let alone Xiao Fei, there's no way someone lives there."

He looked extremely dejected, like a scholar who woke up after dawn in a chat room—the beautiful woman he had once been in love with had disappeared, and there were graves all around him.

"That apartment, can I go and see it?" Bian Yao asked.

"Yes, yes." Yao Cheng nodded in response, then suddenly raised his face and asked, "Wait, this means, have you accepted my commission?"

When Yao Cheng opened the door with the key he borrowed from the administrator, I understood why he was sure that "it is impossible for anyone to live here"—the empty room only had a few large pieces of furniture, all covered with dust cloths Then, the only set of footprints on the dusty floor was made by Yao Cheng himself.

"Is it possible... that Xiao Fei lives somewhere else nearby instead of this room?" I asked.

"Then how do you explain the wall's response?" Bian Yao instantly vetoed my guess.

He walked into the house and looked carefully at every corner. Although I had no idea what he was looking at, I followed him blindly with my hands behind my back.When he came to the room separated by the wall from Yao Cheng's bedroom, Bian Yao looked at the wall for a long time, touched it, and finally wiped the dust on his fingers.

"Follow him to the next door, knock and see." Bian Yao said.

"oh oh."

Yao Cheng and I went back to his own apartment. Compared with the haunted house next door, this place looks very warm, and there are water glasses for two on the small coffee table.He took me into the bedroom and tapped on the wall—the hollow echo of non-loadbearing walls.

After knocking for a long time, the other party responded with a simple knock.

After coming over for a while, Bian Yao also came over, and I asked him, "Do you have a clue?"

"What you see is what I see, isn't it just an empty room." Bian Yao said.

I was speechless—shouldn’t I be like Juan Fu or Conan, judging the whole process of the case through a lot of subtle clues that normal people can’t see at all?

Bian Yao looked around Yao Cheng's house politely, and asked, "Is there any evidence that Xiao Fei lived here? For example, a photo of the two of you together."

Yao Cheng thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and searched around uncertainly, then shook his head slowly.

"Nothing?" Bian Yao asked, "If he has really lived here for so long, there must be other neighbors who have seen him."

Yao Cheng bit his lower lip: "He hardly goes out... I'm not sure if any neighbors have seen him, I can ask. I..." He pinched his phone, looking very depressed: "The The game records are all played by Xiaofei, I can't play with such a high score myself... But this can't be used as evidence."

He suddenly raised his head again, looking firmly at Bian Yao: "But Xiao Fei is not a person I imagined, he is real. If he is a person I imagined, he should stay in his childhood, right? ? Why does it look like a grown-up?"

I looked at Bian Yao - he was expressionless and didn't respond, I guess he was thinking "A person who can imagine a life together for several months can't imagine what a person will look like when he grows up." Let's talk."

The little Fei that no one else can see, that is protected by him, that belongs only to him.

Yao Cheng probably also thought of this, and he said anxiously: "Look, this is Xiaofei's toothbrush, his face towel, bath towel, and these are his slippers. Originally, these slippers belonged to me. But because Xiao Fei likes this color, I changed it to him, I..." He was carrying a lot of things, but without the owner's testimony, the huge pile of objects seemed ridiculously empty.Yao Cheng's shoulders slumped and his face was full of disappointment. He also realized that his behavior at this moment was no different from a patient with delusional disorder. brother, or lover.

So he lowered his head again, staring at the two couple's mugs in a daze.

Bian Yao suddenly spoke again and said, "Xiaofei's parents, call them."

Yao Cheng: "Huh?"

"Didn't the administrator say that the house next door hasn't been sold yet, and ask him to call the head of the household and say that you are someone who wants to buy a house, and make up any reason."

Bian Yao said, "Whether Xiao Fei is a human or a ghost, and where he is now, you can ask them to know."
