[Traveling] Stepfather Clearance Plan

Chapter 45 Maple Guild Hall (?

All traces of Bai Jinghao's existence have disappeared.

I thought he might be badly hurt, he might even die, maybe I'd come out of that closet and see blood all over the room, and he'd be all over the place like he was a few days ago wound, and then put on a face as if nothing had happened.

I never thought that this would be the end result.

What the hell is this?Can't see people alive, but can't see dead bodies?

I've had more than one experience of something disappearing inexplicably since I got involved with him.He should really be regarded as an expert in this field. What has changed before?attic?door?staircase?

And now, it's him.

The last curtain call performance before the magician's retirement, let himself completely disappear from the audience's sight.

How exciting!I should be clapping with tears in my eyes right now, shouldn't I?

I raised my hand and gently rubbed the throbbing forehead.

In all fairness, I've never been the kind of person with excess curiosity.What is the truth of this matter? Although I have a knot in my heart, it is not the kind that cannot be solved no matter what.If the little ghost really disappeared like this, I might struggle for ten days and a half months, but that's all.

I still have my own life.As soon as the school starts in September, I will take the departmental examination, and the school recruits will be overwhelming. At that time, it is impossible to have the energy to think about those trivial grievances and grievances thousands of years ago.

I don't care if Bai Jinghao told me the truth.

Yes, kid, I don't care if you lied to me or kept it from me, I don't care if you told me the truth.

However, the things of the ancients are like this, what about my own things?

Li Xiao said that Bai Jinghao saved Pu Yangwen's life, but Pu Yangwen killed him. Isn't it exactly the same now?Because I doubted him, because of my unreasonable fear and suspicion, the enemy took advantage of it.This is what I myself did to lure wolves into my house, how could I let him do it for me with peace of mind——

...and die?

He saved my life and I killed him.Ingratitude and gratitude will be revenged.Everything is exactly the same as the bloody story that made me gnash my teeth with anger.

I laughed dryly twice, feeling bitter in my heart.

...What did the kid say at that time?

Once this breath was released, even the memory of being with the little ghost before became vague and blurred.Obviously it was only a few hours ago, but looking back now, it seems to be covered in a layer of fog.

He seemed to have asked me if I knew about Bai Yu, and then told me to keep holding on to that crystal, and never let go.At that time, his expression was so bleak and sad, but also full of affection.

I did listen to what he said, and held on to the glass tightly, and then I didn't let go until the light was on to find something to pick the lock.I spread my right hand flat in front of my eyes, and there was still a deep red mark on the palm of my hand, which was still in pain, and I could still feel the scalding heat from Liuliu at that time. arrive.

I stared blankly at the mark for a while, and suddenly remembered, did that gemstone disappear too?

When I thought of this, I rushed back to the closet and searched for it.There is no corner, even the pile of clothes thrown in the bedroom I went through one by one, I looked carefully under the wardrobe under the bed with a flashlight, and there was nothing there.

This is something that I have been holding by my side all the time, and it is gone.

My heart was cold, and I stood back in the closet again, leaning against the wall with my hands in my pockets, and sighed long.

Unexpectedly, his right hand touched a round object.I hurriedly took that thing out and put it in front of my eyes for a closer look, what else could it be if it wasn't the crystal?

...Damn it, don't you think so?

I was immediately annoyed and funny by myself. Although I was worried about the kid after tossing all night, I couldn't laugh anymore, but my heart was a little relieved.This should have been put in the trouser pocket when he went to get the hanger.Sometimes it's like this, I tried my best to find something but couldn't find it, and finally found that it was placed in the most common place.

At least one thing remains.

To me, it has never been the mysterious eagle eye that the wild man fights for, it is just a toy for children to play with.However, it is something that is inextricably linked with Bai Jinghao, at least, it has not disappeared yet.

I even felt a little ecstatic, holding that Liuliu for a long time before putting it back into my pocket, when I suddenly felt that there was another thing in my pocket, took it out and found that it was the piece of paper I used to write down the little ghost's address.

! ! ! !

It's the piece of paper I used to write down the kid's address! !

I was almost dizzy for a moment, and I pinched my arm hard. The pain was so painful that I was sure it was not a dream.Looking at the note in my hand again, it is indeed the piece of paper I used to write down the address of the little ghost. I tore half of it from my notebook and folded it in half. Put it in your trouser pocket.

Things seem to have taken a turn for the better.I got out of the closet and lay down on the bed. I took the piece of paper in my hand and read it carefully several times. I didn't put it down until I firmly remembered the address in my heart. I finally felt a little relieved.

Every magic trick has a back door.The kid used this metaphor when he explained the closure of space to me.Those things didn't disappear out of nowhere, they just entered a state that I couldn't touch, and the key to deciphering this situation was to find out what was out of context.

This was originally the trick that the kid was best at.

He didn't disappear.The proof to find him is the piece of paper in my hand.

I felt relieved, and made up my mind to go to bed quickly, planning to look for this address the next day, but I slept quite peacefully without a dream.

The next day I woke up very early, got up, took a shower, had breakfast, packed some necessary things, and went out early in the morning.The address written by the little ghost was a room in the dormitory building of the family area of ​​a certain factory, because I happened to catch a very convenient bus to get there, so I took the bus.

It happened to be Monday, and although the students were still on summer vacation, the morning rush hour on Monday morning was still a headache.Almost every small station along the way had to be blocked for more than ten, twenty or ten minutes to get there. While playing with my mobile phone to pass the time, I secretly regretted that I might as well wait until noon to go out.

It was already 9:416 when the bus stopped at the site near the family area of ​​the factory.I got out of the car to identify the direction, and started looking for the address on the note.The address written by the kid is 110-1, Building 1.When I first saw this address, I found it very strange. How is the room type designed? Why is there a house number like "-[-]"?

I originally thought that if it was an old-fashioned dormitory building with one door and several rooms, and each room lived in one household, such a house number might appear.As soon as I got out of the car, my heart skipped a beat.These communities in the family area of ​​the factory are large and tidy, with six-story residential buildings of one color, with white bricks on the outer walls, and intercom security doors installed in the door openings, which look very modern.The infrastructure in the community is also very complete. There are all kinds of garden fountains and national fitness equipment. There is no shadow of an old-fashioned dormitory building.

Whispering in my heart, I found the legendary 416th floor all the way, and it really had the same decoration as other residential buildings.There are four door openings in total. I took a closer look at the house numbers marked on the anti-theft door. The four door openings are all facing each other, from "101, 102" to "601, 602". There is no such thing as 110, let alone 110. -1 up.

I walked around 416 a few more times, and looked at the buildings from 410 to 425. There was no house number like 110-1, so I had to go back to the door of Unit 416 of 40.At that time, an aunt who was pushing a stroller and seemed to be in her 416s passed by the door of the building. I grabbed her and asked, "Sister, I'm sorry to ask you something. Is there 110 on the [-]th floor?"

I took the opportunity to show her the note in my hand. She narrowed her eyes and looked carefully for a while, then shook her head.

"No, I have been a babysitter for door 1 of this building for almost a year, and I have never heard of 202." Her tone was very firm, and she spoke with a strong Shandong accent, probably from the past few years Worker.

I thanked her, not to mention how depressed I was.After finally getting such a clue, it turned out that it was not the case at all.When the kid was filling out the form, did he think that one day I would follow the address to find him, so he deliberately filled in a fake address?Or is it that everything the kid showed in front of me was fake, and he didn't want me to know his identity at all?

I sighed, and sat on the steps on the edge of the flower bed opposite 416, facing Unit 416, neither staying nor leaving.If you want to stay, there is indeed no 110-1 here, but let’s forget it, I can’t swallow this breath in my heart.

I just watched Unit 12 in a daze from time to time when people came in and out, and I waited until the lunch break of the city inspection at [-] o'clock before calling Master.The master still had the same tone of inconspicuousness, teased me a few words, and then let me have time to visit his house, saying that I am too thin, and asked the master to make me some delicious food to make up for it.

I had something in my heart, so I just smiled and echoed him a few words.He had a moment to catch his breath and asked, "Master, is there any news about Bai Jinghao's case?"

I don't want Master to pause for a while, but instead asked me: "Which one is Bai Jinghao? Is it my case?"

"...It was the case I went to investigate privately before, and I broke my leg while investigating the case, don't you remember?" My heart was half cold when I heard what he said.

"You've grown capable, kid, and learned to investigate cases privately? Tell me clearly, who told you behind my back? And what happened to the broken leg? Is it better now?"

I seemed to be choked, and I didn't say anything for a long time, but finally I just replied: "It's nothing, it's easy now. Do your work, I will visit your home in a few days."
