"Check the phone number?" Zhao Kai asked Jiang Lai with great interest, "Didn't do anything bad?"

Jiang Lai smiled, feeling that Zhao Kai was upright and had personally experienced the changes in the Beixiaowu family, so asking him for help would not mean that he would get help.

"Brother Zhao, if it's convenient for you, let's meet and talk?"

When Zhao Kai heard that Jiang Lai was going back to the ancient city by train that night, he smiled and agreed, "Okay, then I'll treat you to a meal and take you to the station."

Shao Fanghua originally thought that Jiang Lai would be able to accompany him for a few more days. Seeing him pack up his things so quickly and go home, he was eager to go home. He stood at the door and laughed, "I'm so anxious, is there any little girl waiting at home? Listen to your mother You are clamoring for freedom in love, and if you have a girlfriend, you must tell your aunt."

Jiang Lai smirked noncommittally for a while, ordered takeaway for Shao Fanghua and went out.

Zhao Kai came to pick up Jiang Lai as promised. He wanted to invite Shao Fanghua to have dinner with him, but he was just a small policeman, and Shao Fanghua's role should be left to the leader to contact.

So, he drove Jiang Lai to a special restaurant that he and his family frequented, and the home-cooked stir-fry was the most delicious.

Jiang Lai didn't pay much attention to these things, he just wanted to ask Zhao Kai for help as soon as possible.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" The two sat down, Zhao Kai took the initiative to ask Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai smiled, looked around pretending to be mysterious, and then asked Zhao Kai, "You know my brother, right?"

Zhao Kai knew who Jiang Lai was talking about after a little recollection.The boy who cried loudly in front of the emergency building of the hospital on a snowy night.

"I have a little impression, what's the matter?"

Jiang Lai pursed his lips slightly, and sighed, "He used to study very well, but after his father passed away, he fell into a slump, and then went to a technical school. Recently, I feel that something is wrong with him."

"Oh?" Zhao Kai folded his arms and frowned, listening carefully.

"He started drinking, and he always smelled of cigarettes. He didn't come home at night, and he often smashed the bathroom like crazy. The most exaggerated thing is that he would cry when he was drunk..."

In order to win Zhao Kai's sympathy, Jiang Lai did not dare to tell him the whole truth, and could only pick some negative actions to exaggerate the impact of losing his father on Bei Xiaowu.

"Alas..." Zhao Kai sighed, with regret written in his eyes.

"So I want to ask you to do me a small favor," Jiang Lai smiled helplessly, "He always wanted to know who his father had contacted before he died, but his father's phone was broken, so he would never know. This has become his His obsessions entangled him and made him fall into the quagmire."

Zhao Kai took a breath imperceptibly, and signaled Jiang Lai to continue with his gaze.

"So I want to help him get rid of this knot, and tell him that no matter who his father has contacted before, it is already a thing of the past. Don't be entangled and persistent, and look forward."

"You just want me to help you find out who he was in contact with before he died?" Zhao Kai has already made clear Jiang Lai's needs.

"Yes, the main reason is that the child has been brooding over this matter." Jiang Lai shook his head, "I thought of other ways to check his communication records before, but the telecommunications company and colleagues in the factory... all failed."

"In principle, it is possible to find his communication records through special internal means, but in principle, it is not allowed to do so for personal reasons." Zhao Kai rubbed his chin and regretfully declined.

Jiang Lai also expected that it would not be that easy to persuade Zhao Kai to help him, so he shrugged, "I know, but seeing a good child ruined by such a trivial matter, really... really... oh..."

Zhao Kai shook his head slightly, and hugged his arms again.

"However, principles can often give way to favors. You just help to look up the phone number, and you can wake up a lost child from pain. Besides," Jiang Lai pursed his lips and smiled , "It is not allowed in principle to let me replace my aunt to help you take portraits."

This is a fact, and Zhao Kai is powerless to refute it. Although citizens are obliged to assist the police in handling cases, the sketch submitted by Jiang Lai is signed by Shao Fanghua's name.

Zhao Kai took a deep breath, looked at the honey-yellow soup in the teacup without making any expression, and after a while he said, "It's getting late, let's eat first."

Jiang Lai felt that there might be something to be said for this matter, and he was really tired after traveling all day, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After the meal, Zhao Kai sent Jiang Lai to the station as promised, and watched Jiang Lai enter the waiting hall before returning to the parking lot.

On the way home, Zhao Kai listened to the progress of the case in the group of colleagues, but for some reason, his mind was still stuck on an incident a few years ago.

That year, he was just a sophomore when the professor who taught criminal psychology died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.That was the first close contact with death in his life.Zhao Kai found out that his son had just entered the first year of high school when he went to visit the professor's family with a few classmates.

It took a lot of hard work and energy to get into the middle school attached to the Normal University, known as the champion reserve.A year later, he met the professor's son in a case of picking quarrels and provoking trouble in an Internet cafe.

As a troublemaker, the professor's son squatted beside the radiator with a dazed expression, not at all the proud son of heaven.

If time could be turned back, Zhao Kai would like to go back to the time when he first met the child, and tell him that his father's departure does not mean the sky is falling. What he has to do is to get out of the pain of losing a loved one as soon as possible and live a good life.

Live well with the expectations of the dead, and try to keep yourself looking forward.

Zhao Kai started to have a migraine again, and his right eye socket seemed to burst open.With the neon lights flashing, he slammed the steering wheel and drove in the direction of the unit.

Four or 10 minutes later, Jiang Lai was sitting on the moving car boredly flipping through his phone.He calculated the date, curious that the child Bei Xiaowu hadn't contacted him once in the past few days since he went out.

Thinking about the last time he came to Q City, the two of them fiddled with the dark video, and it made him panic even more.

Jiang Lai involuntarily clicked on the WeChat dialog with Bei Xiaowu with his thumb, and returned it after a while.As if angry, if you don't take the initiative to contact me, I will not take the initiative to contact you.

While torturing himself, Jiang Lai's cell phone rang, and when he opened it, it was Zhao Kai calling.Jiang Lai twitched his lips and answered the phone.

"Hello?" Jiang Lai lowered his voice, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Kai stood in front of the police building and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, "I checked it for you. He received and made 19 calls that day."

"I only want it after five o'clock in the afternoon." Jiang Lai's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the speed of his speech also increased a lot.

"There are only three links, wait a moment and I will send them to your mobile phone."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lai held the phone tightly, his heart pounding.He didn't know whether Zhao Kai brought him hope or disappointment this time, and he didn't know how many dark nights it would take to find out the truth, but he was still looking forward to it.

"Ding..." The phone received a message, and Jiang Lai hurriedly opened it to read it.

Sure enough, those three numbers were different numbers, one was for the old lady You Lianhua, and the other was for Jiang Lai himself.Then the last one left is very, very suspicious.

Jiang Lai turned off the screen of the phone, closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, just as the carriage passed through the tunnel, the glass window was pitch black, like a mirror, allowing him to see his nervous expression clearly.

The signal on the bullet train was intermittent, Jiang Lai used the most stupid way to enter that number into the search box, trying to see if he could find something.

The carriage passed through another section of the tunnel, the mobile phone signal was restored to full capacity, and the query results popped up on the page.Too many, all related to a piece of news about a property for sale.

It was almost midnight when Jiang Lai returned home, and Bei Xiaowu's room was pitch black.It was rare for Chi Xiaohong to not go to bed early, and ran out to watch when Jiang Lai came back.

"Is there anything to eat? Take it out quickly." Jiang Lai blamed himself for having dinner with Zhao Kai for not having the nerve to eat more.

Chi Xiaohong went to the kitchen to cook some noodles and took it to Jiang Lai's room, and asked him how he was doing in the exam with a smile.

Jiang Lai shook his head, but his expression was both proud and proud. Chi Xiaohong guessed that it must be because he did well in the exam.

Jiang Lai didn't answer him, opened the curtains and looked at the dark window opposite, and asked Chi Xiaohong, "Xiao Wu is asleep?"

Chi Xiaohong shook her head, "He didn't come back."

"I didn't come back, isn't today Saturday?" Jiang Lai wondered.

Chi Xiaohong smiled, "It's something at school."

"School? Doesn't he work on weekends?" Jiang Lai said to himself.

Chi Xiaohong shrugged and smiled, turned around and went back to her room with her mobile phone in her hand.

Jiang Lai took out his mobile phone and dialed Bei Xiaowu. After seeing that it was too late, he hung up again.

The next day, Jiang Lai went to the study room to read early in the morning.He felt that he did well in this exam, and he will devote more time and energy to cultural classes in the future.

In the afternoon, Bai Xue and Xu Feifei also came, and the third year of No. [-] Middle School only had half a day off on Sunday afternoon.

They saw Jiang Lai in the corner of the study room with a surprised expression on his face, "Didn't you take a week off?"

Jiang Lai smiled, "I'll be back after the exam."

"How did you do in the exam?" Bai Xue and Xu Feifei asked enthusiastically.

"well enough."

"Congratulations, you will be Qmei's student from now on, that's amazing." Xu Feifei patted Jiang Lai on the shoulder.

Bai Xue also quietly applauded to express her congratulations.

There were more people in the study room, and everyone quieted down and stopped talking.

Bai Xue was stunned for a long time reading an English article, but when she looked up, she found that Jiang Lai was also reading the same article, and it was densely marked with sketches, so she became interested.She stretched out her arms to look over, only to realize that what Jiang Lai wrote had nothing to do with the subject, but an address.

Bai Xue stared at the address for a few seconds, feeling inexplicably familiar. After returning the book to Jiang Lai, she suddenly thought of where it was.

"What are you writing this address for?" Bai Xue asked in a low voice.

Jiang Lai was puzzled, pointed to the phone number Zhao Kai gave him followed by the address of the house to be sold, and asked, "You mean this?"

"Yes, isn't this Liu Zhi's house?"

"Huh?" Jiang Lai's eyes widened in disbelief, his throat was dry, "What did you say?"

"That's right." Bai Xue took the exercise booklet in front of Jiang Lai to look at it again, and made sure it was the house number of Liu Zhi's house that he often visited before. "This is the address of Liu Zhi's house before."

Jiang Lai instantly felt his five senses clear, and suddenly thought of the parent contact book he had looked through.
