Professor, your turtle!
Chapter 71 Investigation
After the monthly exam, some people were happy and some were sad. In any case, campus life gradually returned to its normal rhythm.
With the league game just around the corner, Xu Haifan took this opportunity to come to Ji Fan's house every day, under the pretense of helping his back, but in fact he didn't give up.
However, Ji Fan's "cousin" is like a ghost that has never appeared before, and has completely disappeared from their lives.
Xu Haifan was a little skeptical. At first, he was simply curious about the identity of the other party, but later, he was aroused with a strong sense of competitiveness, and he insisted on investigating to find out.
"Maybe they lied to you from the beginning." Ji Fan looked sympathetically at Xu, who was sitting on the floor scratching his head.
"Impossible." Xu Haifan denied it flatly, "He obviously knows you."
"Are there not many scams like this?" Ji Fan snapped his fingers, "'I am xxx's elder brother. I am out of town and my mobile phone wallet was stolen. I borrowed my mobile phone to send you a text message. Please help me. Transfer xx yuan to account……'"
Xu Haifan: "..."
"What's more, 'I am Qin Shihuang, I have 500 tons of gold buried in Xianyang, now I only need [-] yuan to buy a train ticket to go back to Shaanxi, and there will be good rewards for a comeback in the future, and I will make you a general of the army'..."
Xu Haifan interrupted him, and said quickly: "I told you that he is definitely not a liar. If you don't believe me, just say that the pet egg I gave you is what he entrusted me to give you!"
Ji Fan was still thinking about the phone scam, he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized: "What?"
"Ah..." Xu Haifan realized that he had slipped his mouth, and laughed dryly.
Pet eggs?Ji Fan became tense, leaned forward, and grabbed Xu Haifan who was trying to escape.
Could it be that it wasn't a coincidence that the mysterious pet egg came to him?
"What's going on? Please explain clearly." Ji Fan was anxious.
"Cough." Xu Haifan scratched his head, "No, I can't say, he asked me to keep it a secret..."
"Xu Haifan!" Ji Fan was so anxious that his face turned pale, and his voice raised his voice involuntarily.Immediately afterwards, his attitude softened again: "Hai Fan, please, this matter is really, really important."
"Hiss, I've slipped my mouth anyway, and I didn't mean it..." Xu Haifan muttered and sat down again, and said in a low voice, "Then let me tell you, don't tell anyone."
"Promise!" Ji Fan immediately raised his right hand.
"Actually, I don't know what's going on," Xu Haifan recalled. "I was picking out greeting cards for you in the small shop opposite the school that day. When I turned around, I saw that man standing under the canopy. I didn't notice him there. After standing there for a long time, he seemed to appear suddenly. He smiled at me, and then raised his hand to beckon me over..."
Ji Fan was a little speechless: "...So you just left with him?"
Xu Haifan said embarrassedly: "Because he is good-looking." He cleared his throat, and continued, "We had a casual chat, and he said he was your relative, and bought me a cup of milk tea, then took out the pet egg, Let me give it to you."
"Send me? Why send me?"
"I don't know either," Xu Haifan frowned, "He assured me that you would like this, and said that it was not convenient for him to come forward, please don't mention him, just say that I gave it to you."
Ji Fan was stunned for a moment: "Apart from these, did he say anything else?"
"No more." Xu Haifan shook his head resolutely, "He left after delivering it."
Ji Fan also frowned slightly.
It is now certain that this first-generation limited edition Tamagotchi is definitely not an ordinary electronic pet.
Then, why did the unknown mysterious person go to such lengths to entrust Xu Haifan to give it to him?
"Wait..." Xu Haifan patted his head, "He also said something."
Ji Fan immediately pricked up his ears: "What?"
"He said 'thank you' to me very gently." Xu Haifan held his face shyly, as if intoxicated, "then smiled at me again."
Ji Fan: "..." This guy is hopeless.
After driving away the obsessive Xu Haifan, Ji Fan felt a little nervous and couldn't let go.
After walking around the room twice, he suddenly got up, planning to go to the stationery store that Xu Haifan mentioned.
This matter is too weird, and I always feel flustered when investigating alone, so it's better to find someone to work with.
Opening the phone, Xu Haifan's name was listed first. Ji Fan hesitated for a moment, then pressed his finger and continued to scroll down the address book.
——Xu Haifan has a bluffing personality, don't let the person not be found by then, and instead make the matter known to the whole city, it will be difficult to handle.
Ji Fan doesn't know too many friends.He flipped around twice, and finally the cursor stayed on a name.
Wanna give it a try?But this person seems a little unreasonable...
Never mind, let's try first, Ji Fan pressed the dial button.
The phone rang twice before being picked up, and the voice on the other side was cold: "Hello?"
"Um... sorry to interrupt, I'm Ji Fan from the biology team." He felt nervous and subconsciously clenched the phone tightly.
"I know." The man interrupted him, his voice still cold, "What's the matter?"
He spoke briefly and in a distant tone. If it was a face-to-face chat, the air would have been frozen.
Ji Fan bit the bullet and explained the general situation. He didn't mention the pet egg or Xu Haifan, and only said that he was looking for a suspected relative.
There was silence on the other side of the phone, only the sound of light breathing indicated that the person was still listening.
——Could you be angry because you were disturbed by trivial matters?
"...The test competition is coming soon, I know you must be very busy." Ji Fan was so embarrassed that his face became a little hot, and he changed his words hastily, "I just wanted to ask if you have seen someone who looks like me near the school. Since I haven't seen you before, I'm fine, I'm sorry to bother you..."
Just when he was about to hang up quickly, the other person suddenly spoke.
"and many more."
Ji Fan waited for a few seconds according to his words, and heard a sudden movement from the opposite side.
"Let's go together." The man paused for a moment, and then there was another clang, probably looking for a key, "Where is your home, I'll pick you up."
Ji Fan was expressing his thanks, when he heard this, he was stunned: "Huh?"
"I'll come by car." Before the words finished, the faint sound of the engine starting came from the receiver.
Half a minute to change clothes, find keys, get in the car and go out, this guy is too efficient!
Ji Fan was completely stunned, and blankly reported his address.
"5 minutes." The man said briefly, "Drive, hang up."
The moment before hanging up, the noise on the opposite side suddenly increased, as if the accelerator had been stepped on to the bottom.
A beeping busy tone came from next to his ear, and Ji Fan finally realized it. He quickly took off his school uniform, casually put a two-purpose shirt on his head, and took out the keys from his schoolbag and put them in his pocket.
Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then went back to the study, dug out the old photo that Xu Haifan commented was "very similar", and stuffed it into his jacket pocket.
After finishing everything, he ran down the steps in two steps in three steps, and ran out along the path.
As soon as he locked the courtyard door, there was the sound of wheels running over the gravel road from the other end of the street.
In the next second, a dusty old Volkswagen turned into the residential area and parked firmly beside him.Ji Fan glanced at his watch, 5 minutes, no more, no less.
With the car window rolled down, Chen Zhen pushed his glasses and pointed to the side: "Get in the car."
It is one thing to know that he can drive, but another thing to witness his classmates' proficient driving skills.
When Ji Fan stepped into the car door, he was a little dazed. After a long while, he choked out a sentence: "Do you have a driver's license?"
"Well, I took the test last year." Chen Zhen straightened his rearview mirror and started to reverse the car steadily. He backed out of the winding path more than ten meters long.
"Last year," Ji Fan counted the time, and remembered another thing, "Isn't it required to be 18 for the driver's license test? Well, so you already..."
He slightly widened his eyes, so Chen Zhen is older than them?
"Yeah, I'm already 20, an older high school student."
Ji Fan knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and was a little embarrassed, "No, that's not what I meant."
Chen Zhen glanced at him, and finally there was a little smile in his voice: "It's okay. Actually, I took a break from high school for a year, don't you know?"
Ji Fan really didn't know, he scratched his head and said "Oh".
The two fell silent.
Chen Zhen turned the steering wheel skillfully, turned around an intersection, and got on the main road. The speed of the car gradually slowed down due to the traffic congestion.
"Aren't you curious?"
There was another red light, Chen Zhen simply turned off the ignition, put his fingers on the steering wheel, and tapped casually.
"Huh?" Ji Fan turned to look at him, "What?"
"Don't you want to know the reason?" Chen Zhen turned to him sideways and said slowly, "About why I want to suspend school."
He was wearing a very ordinary plaid shirt and jeans, a pair of rotten black-framed glasses, and his long bangs were tied tightly by a headband. He was dressed like an ordinary high school boy.
However, there is a sense of oppression in this ordinary life that does not match the age, like the temperament of someone who has been in the upper class for a long time.
Usually, he always hides behind bangs and glasses, and he doesn't see any threat at all.
Now, there were only two people left in the car, and he made no effort to hide it, no matter what he said, his movements, or his eyes, it was overwhelming.
If I have to say it, it's probably somewhat similar to Fu Mingyuan's impression.
"I..." Ji Fan looked away uncomfortably as he was staring at him, "If you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it."
The red light turned green, and the traffic moved slowly. Chen Zhen returned his attention to driving.
After a long while, he laughed lowly: "It's nothing special, it's just that something happened, it's about a friend of mine."
Ji Fan listened quietly without speaking.
After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he suddenly glanced at him again: "Speaking of which, this friend of mine has something to do with you."
"Me?" Ji Fan looked confused.
"Mmm." Chen Zhen's tone was light, but he didn't intend to go any further.
With the league game just around the corner, Xu Haifan took this opportunity to come to Ji Fan's house every day, under the pretense of helping his back, but in fact he didn't give up.
However, Ji Fan's "cousin" is like a ghost that has never appeared before, and has completely disappeared from their lives.

Pet eggs?Ji Fan became tense, leaned forward, and grabbed Xu Haifan who was trying to escape.
