Mystery Collection 2
Chapter 26
When Gu Tingxi walked into the classroom, Xu Jianyang was taken aback. Usually, this kid's attendance rate is not too high, but he came to class just a few days after the funeral.
Xu Jianyang asked worriedly, "Have you rested enough?"
Gu Tingxi spread out the book and looked at him sideways: "Do you want to cry at home for a month before coming back to class?"
"That's okay, how about having dinner together tonight?"
"I have something to do tonight."
After class all day, Gu Tingxi realized that something was wrong. There were not many chattering voices around, and the classmates who usually liked to talk to him didn't know where they went.
At the last class, Gu Tingxi finally couldn't help asking: "Xu Jianyang, why is it so quiet today? Many people didn't come to class?"
Xu Jianyang suppressed a smile, leaned into his ear and said gloatingly: "They don't know where they heard about it. They know that your father didn't leave a dime to you, so they don't want to talk to you, a poor man."
Gu Tingxi didn't react much. Ever since he got to know Han Chen, he seldom went out to play with his friends. In fact, in his heart, these cronies didn't have much weight.
He put his hands on Xu Jianyang's shoulders, and said seriously: "Don't laugh so happily, when will you pay back the money you owe me?"
"Are you so poor? Still collecting debts? Get out!"
Gu Tingxi smiled, retracted his arms and put his mind back on the book.
The last class is Psychology, which is an elective class that must be skipped. Gu Tingxi has not come to this class for a long time. Before the class, I heard that the original teacher Wang had a sudden myocardial infarction and needed a long rest, so I temporarily hired a new one. The teacher from the school came to take over this class. For this reason, following the principle of getting to know the teacher in the first class, the classroom was full of students.
When the class bell rang, the teacher pressed the time line and entered the door.
The moment Gu Tingxi saw Bai Wangcheng, he was stunned for a moment, and the four characters of ghosts and ghosts popped up in his mind.
Bai Wangcheng was wearing a pure white cashmere sweater and a light gray windbreaker. He strode into the classroom and threw the textbooks on the table. The noise he made successfully attracted everyone's attention.
He searched for Gu Tingxi's figure in the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on his face, licking his lips and showing an evil smile.
Gu Tingxi had a headache for a while, and endured a class under Bai Wangcheng's meaningful eyes, and hurriedly slipped away as soon as the get out of class bell rang.
Datou took the time to drive the car to the school gate, and Gu Tingxi got into his car immediately after leaving the school gate.
"How did the investigation I asked you do?"
Datou drove the car to an open space, handed the found information to Gu Tingxi, and replied: "Boss Mao's whereabouts have not been found yet, but his ID card has been used recently. If there is no accident, people should Still in City A, as for Zhou Chengen, the people I sent told me that he committed suicide in prison."
"Suicide?" Gu Tingxi suddenly looked up at the driver's seat.
"Not long after I was arrested, I asked the prison guard for a pen in the name of writing a letter, turned around and inserted it into my neck, and was finally treated as a suicide in fear of crime." Datou tutted, "If something abnormal happens, there must be a demon. There must be something wrong with Zhou Chengen."
Gu Tingxi was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you visited the house where Zhou Chengen's mother and sister lived?"
"I went to see it and asked the neighbors nearby. There were indeed rumors that someone had returned home with Zhou Chengen's ashes, but my people had inquired for a long time but could not find conclusive witnesses. Is this true? It's hard to say." Datou asked: "Young master, what exactly do you want to investigate? Whether Zhou Chengen is real or not, it has nothing to do with us."
Gu Tingxi closed his eyes tiredly. How could it be irrelevant? This is clearly a long-planned conspiracy. The Ms. Sun case did exist back then, but now the murder case planned by Zhou Chengen is a trap.
Someone used a seemingly coincidental accident to make him reunite with Han Chen, but there is one thing that Gu Tingxi still can't figure out. If Han Yu's purpose is only the memory hidden deep in his mind, then why did he do everything possible to let him and Han Chen meet again? When we met again, why didn't we do anything to him for so long.
After Boss Mao appeared, Han Chen's behavior suddenly became very agitated. He must have found some clues, but he disappeared suddenly after that.
No...that's not disappearing!
Gu Tingxi suddenly realized that Han Chen's disappearance was not missing, but that he separated from him on his own initiative, which brought the two back to the state before they met, each living their own lives without any intersection.
Gu Tingxi desperately wanted to make sure that Han Chen was safe and sound, even if it was just an unfounded guess, it could make him feel a little relieved. He would rather Han Chen avoid him than to go all out alone.
He gently turned the silver ring on his ring finger, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. No matter where Brother Chen went this time, he probably wouldn't be so lonely anymore.
------
The car stopped at the entrance of the bookstore, and when the two got out of the car, they saw that the open space of the entrance and lobby of the bookstore was full of books, blocking the way in. Gu Tingxi walked in with difficulty, and almost tripped over the books when entering the door , finally walked in and heard the noise of arguing, the little girl with her hips on her hips was arguing with a man, her face was flushed, as if she couldn't explain it to him, her childish little face was flushed, she almost cried out.
"What are you arguing about? What's going on?" Gu Tingxi looked at the two with displeasure.
The delivery boy took off his gloves and said speechlessly, "You ordered [-] books from our publishing house yesterday, and you paid for it. What's the problem if I deliver the goods today?"
The little girl yelled: "How is this possible? We usually order a few hundred copies at most, but if you send thousands of copies at once, where should we put them?"
Gu Tingxi thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was such a thing. After Han Chen left, no one was in charge of the bookstore. He pondered over the past few days and probably sorted out the workflow. He ordered [-] novels on the official website last night.
He didn't know what to think, thinking that [-] books would be the amount of a corner, but now he saw that his whole face was dark, and he didn't blame the delivery boy for being in trouble, he was exhausted enough to breathe so many books.
Gu Tingxi took the delivery note in his hand and signed his name on it, "Please help me move the one at the door in too, and go to the high stack first."
The little girl was sweating anxiously, and whispered in Gu Tingxi's ear: "Manager, where should we put so many books? This customer can't even go in."
Gu Tingxi was so annoyed by her, he took out 100 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it to the younger sister: "Go and buy me a cup of coffee, and buy the rest for yourself, and come back after you finish eating."
The little girl was pushed out by him. Just as she left, Gu Tingxi Ergen hadn't been quiet for 2 minutes before Nangong came. As soon as he entered, he saw his bookstore was full of books like a warehouse, and there were messy papers on the floor. He caught Gu Tingxi and yelled, "Gu! Ting! Xi! You're fucking going to demolish my bookstore!"
Gu Tingxi sat on a stack of books and looked at him weakly: "It's already like this, what should we do now?"
Datou came in panting, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Or throw it away, I think it's all meaningless novels."
Nangong glared at him, picked up a book and patted the dust on the title page, and said lightly: "Books can educate people. There is no absolute distinction between good books and bad books. A person should read a lot of books in his life. When you If you read more books, you can compare them and benefit from them. Let’s move to the basement first, and do activities to send books out in the past few days.”
Gu Tingxi was stunned: "How can we have a basement?"
"Originally there was a basement, and the entrance was just behind the stairs, but because it was too damp, I discussed it with Ah Chen during the renovation and sealed it up. Go and have a look first."
There was indeed a small, inconspicuous door hidden behind the stairs, which was blocked by several cardboard boxes containing sundries. The big head moved the boxes away, revealing the original appearance of the wooden door.
There was a small lock hanging on the door, which was no different in appearance from the locks that can be bought in ordinary grocery stores. Gu Tingxi glanced at Nangong and asked, "Have you brought the tools to open the lock? Do you want to find you a wire? "
Nangong groped for the lock, and said after a while: "This is not an ordinary lock. It seems that Ah Chen changed the lock later. I didn't bring any tools today, so I just smashed it open with a hammer."
Gu Tingxi's face was full of black lines, and he asked suspiciously: "Do you have other skills besides picking locks? I didn't say that your lock picking skills are not very good either."
Nangong raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and slapped him away, "Lock picking is a skill, and opening this door is your goal. Sometimes, don't be too rigid about formalities."
The two chatted for a while while standing in front of the small gate waiting for the big head to pick up the tools. When the topic was almost over, Gu Tingxi realized that Nangong and him had gone around in a big circle without answering his question.
Gu Tingxi asked again: "You didn't join the special crime team because you could unlock the lock, did you? What else would you do?"
Nangong stretched out his index finger to touch the thin lips, and made a silent movement.
Gu Tingxi blinked at him.
Nangong slowly approached and whispered in his ear: "Guess."
Gu Tingxi lost his temper, and rubbed the heat on his ears, "By the way, why did you suddenly think of coming to the bookstore?"
"I heard that Xiaobai has moved in. I'll come and see him. Didn't fight?"
Gu Tingxi shook his head sullenly.
"Don't confront him head-on. Xiaobai is not a vegetarian. Don't underestimate his ability. But everyone has weaknesses, and they just don't know where he is."
Gu Tingxi nodded half understanding, the big head found the hammer and came over, and smashed the lock open with a hammer.
When Gu Tingxi opened the door, he said to Datou: "You find someone to tidy up the basement and move the books in temporarily."
He felt the light switch on the wall, and the moment he pressed it, the light in the basement turned on, and the light gradually lit up in the darkness. There was no musty smell blowing his face as he imagined, and there was no messy environment.
There are only white papers that are almost blinding, every wall is covered with dense A4 papers, and a huge floor plan is pasted on the ceiling, which seems to be a topographic map of a certain building, with colorful strokes criss-crossed on it There are stitches.
Gu Tingxi sighed, "What are these?"
"Data." Nangong's expression became not quite right in an instant, he immediately turned to the big head and said, "You look at the door, don't let people in."
The author has something to say: let everyone avoid a thunderstorm first, the following plot will be relatively boring, and it has something to do with Lao Han not appearing for a long time, and Baiwangcheng itself is a mess, I will talk about this later.The last thing is, after the update is over, there will be a big wave of dog food coming out of the episode, so let's just store up food now.
Xu Jianyang asked worriedly, "Have you rested enough?"
Gu Tingxi spread out the book and looked at him sideways: "Do you want to cry at home for a month before coming back to class?"
"That's okay, how about having dinner together tonight?"
"I have something to do tonight."
