sunk in yesterday

Jiecheng's information was obtained by Guan Yuzhou and Chang Yi. The address was not detailed, but a red circle was scribbled next to a certain port on the map.

He asked Chang Yiqing about the situation, and Chang Yiqing explained that Jiecheng didn't have a fixed place of residence, and the address on his ID card had been demolished long ago, and it took him a lot of effort to get it.

"He has committed crimes, so he has a strong sense of avoidance. I think he chose places that are good for escape. The port is full of things and people. If you want to find someone, you have to prepare in advance. When the time comes It's so easy for him to run."

Chang Yiqing was not interested in Guan Yuzhou's purpose of finding this person, so the content was only posted so long in the end.

In fact, Guan Yuzhou is not very interested in Jiecheng. There are too many people who entered with him but failed to come out. After finding Jiecheng's address, he took Chu Jin to see if there was anything he could do.

After going to see Doctor Qin and confirming that there was nothing abnormal for the time being, Guan Yuzhou booked a cross-provincial ticket, got up at dawn the next day and went to a foreign land.

This is a semi-abandoned port. The sea area was polluted by oil spills in the past few years. Many fisheries went bankrupt or moved away, and the surrounding area became empty. Now it is supported by the transportation industry, but it cannot afford the huge daily expenses of the entire area. , Many refugees live in containers, and some mud houses built illegally are left on the weeds that have not been cleared for a long time.

Jiecheng lives in this area.

The residents here are not energetic, and some of them have to stay because of bankruptcy. They really have nowhere to go. They wear cheap and patched clothes, and their hair is messy or tied behind their heads. The arrival was very eye-catching, and the women who were sitting in the sun doing manual work to subsidize their families looked back and forth at him, and finally someone couldn't help but approached him when he was wandering around as if he was looking for something, and spoke to him in dialect.

"Young man, are you looking for someone?"

The children who were still chasing and having fun hid themselves. They had seen too many debt collectors, and they didn't like the tall men in black clothes. What they had was just fear.

Guan Yuzhou stopped, nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm looking for someone."

The words were only tentative, but after hearing the answer, the woman immediately became vigilant: "Who are you looking for?"

"A boy named Jie."

"The surname is Jie..." The woman thought and thought, and looked at the person sitting next to her, but no one remembered who lived here whose surname was Jie.It wasn't a familiar person who came to the door. Obviously they were a little relieved, waved their hands and said: "Then you may have found the wrong person, we don't have this person here, the children are here, or they are working and going to school. You can't find it."

"Not so young." Guan Yuzhou glanced at the five or six-year-old children hiding in the corner, "In their early 20s, when they were in college, they are taller and thinner. Have you seen them?"

"A man in his twenties...ah, there seems to be one, I don't know what his last name is, he hasn't been here for long, is it the one who looks pretty?"

As soon as the appearance was mentioned, someone beside him reacted, and immediately opened their mouths two or three times to speak.

"A young guy! He looks like a girl, and I have never seen him smile when I go out. He walks alone..."

"He lived over there, in some houses built by fishermen before, and then they all moved out."

"That kid is weird, and he usually wears clean clothes, but he doesn't see his parents. Did he come to us alone? Don't he go to school?"

Guan Yuzhou asked some simple questions. These people were not familiar with Jiecheng, but apart from boasting about his looks, they said some nasty things.

It may be the psychological inequality that makes them a little hostile to those who can afford their daily expenses. Some people actually looked at Guan Yuzhou and said, "I heard some people say that he is a rabbit, you are so far away!" He came to the door, did he really do that? Ouch, it doesn't look like it, what a fair child, tsk tsk tsk..."

Kelaoertu means prostitution in the local dialect.

Guan Yuzhou frowned, turned around and walked towards the lawn where the house was.

There was a man with a tool in his hand, squatting slowly on the ground to drive a stake.Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, he changed the direction of the toothpick in his mouth and didn't look up to say hello.

Guan Yuzhou stood aside for a while, opened the cigarette case in his pocket, and handed him a cigarette.

The man looked young, his skin was very rough, and he usually did some work that was exposed to wind and sun.After a cigarette appeared under his eyelids, he turned his head and glanced at the person in front of him, and stretched out his hand to take it.

"How long have you lived here?"

Guan Yuzhou threw the lighter.

The man unhurriedly lit the cigarette butt, replaced the toothpick with a cigarette holder, and bit it between his teeth. After taking a puff, he said, "The port will be there when it fails."

Guan Yuzhou nodded, stood aside and also lit a cigarette.

Two curls of white mist curved towards the white sky, and when the smoke was about to end, the man said vaguely: "I just heard from those loud girls that you are here to find that boy?"

"Do you know where he lives?"

"I know." The man stubbed out the cigarette butt in the wet ground, rolled it over with his slippers, raised his eyes and squeezed out dimples on his forehead, "Who are you?"

Guan Yuzhou said: "It's just acquaintance."

"Friend?" The man looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly let go: "Think about it, it's not surprising that a kid like him knows someone like you. See the tree over there? He lives behind the tree I was the first person to talk to him when he first came, asking me where the house was the cleanest, and I showed him the way. If you are really his friend, don’t say what those girls said just now Take it too seriously."

Guan Yuzhou didn't say much, left the pack of cigarettes behind, and walked towards the place he pointed out.

The house didn't look big from the outside, the door was locked from the inside without accident, and the windows were tightly covered by curtains, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside.But the grounds outside the house were fairly clean. There were a few pots of wilted plants placed at the door, and a brand new watering can was hung on a hook beside it.

The man probably had nothing to do, or maybe he wanted to talk to people more, so he came up from behind, muttering: "He never goes out during the day, and he goes out at night and comes back in the early morning. That’s a lot. Every time I see him, he only has to go to the faraway vegetable market to buy vegetables every two days after I get up in the morning. When I arrive early, there are bugs to pick up. Occasionally, he will give me some money for me to pick up. He's all the way."

Guan Yuzhou tapped the glass twice casually, "Can you lend me your hammer?"

"What is it for?" the man asked, handing out the things in his hand.

There was a crisp sound, and the shattered glass in all directions blurred the light from the sky, and the wind immediately poured into the house, pulling out the dark curtains that had been powerlessly hanging behind.

The man was dumbfounded, and his voice suddenly raised: "What are you doing!"

Guan Yuzhou used his heel to remove the glass tip remaining on the window frame, turned over and entered the house.

A group of yellow shadows quickly disappeared around the corner as if frightened. He looked at the environment in the house. There were not many rooms. The kitchen and the living room were connected together. The door of the bathroom was not closed, and the only one left closed was Possibly a bedroom.

He stepped forward and tried to turn the handle, but the door was locked.

The hammer that had just hit the glass hit the door lock again. The man outside was terrified by his posture. He hurriedly hid behind the tree and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

The police here don't care much, and when they arrived, Guan Yuzhou had already been sitting on the chair beside the bed for a long time.

The young man on the bed had his eyes closed, and if he wasn't out of breath, he seemed to be peacefully asleep.

An iron box was placed next to the pillow, which contained some cash and a notebook. The young policewoman counted it, and it happened to match the price of the cremation.

She asked Guan Yuzhou a lot of questions from the afternoon until dark, no doubt wanting to know where the boy who died suddenly came from and what his name was.Guan Yuzhou didn't know when he asked three questions, and he shook his head most of the time. He only said that he knew the surname Jie, but he didn't know the specific name.

"There are too many things like this in this area, no one cares about them, and they can't care about them... You know, many people here have left and never come back, and some of the ones who stay are incompetent. After losing contact, they just I can rely on myself."

When the conversation was about to end, a small policeman approached with a notebook, glanced at Guan Yuzhou quickly, and said after deliberation: "We didn't find any identity information about him, but it says in the note that he still has a family member, why don't you read it?" Let's see if we can find this family member, and then entrust the body to the family member for processing?"

The policewoman looked at Guan Yuzhou again, "Do you know he still has a family?"

Guan Yuzhou hummed, went to the bathroom and took out the cat that was huddled in the corner.

This is an orange cat, neither fat nor thin.

"Here," he said.

The policewoman and the police officer looked at each other, and said with a dry smile, "Stop joking."

"Then you guys try to keep looking." Guan Yuzhou didn't want to say anything more, he took the cat cage out from under the bed, and left a fee, "If you can't find it, choose to bury it in the ground."

"Hey, hey..." The female policeman kept calling him from behind, "You have to leave a contact information, how else can we get in touch with you?"

"I've said everything I need to say. He and I just know each other." Guan Yuzhou listened to the whispering discussions outside, and left without looking back.

Carrying a cage covered with curtains, he kept walking along the road by the sea. The town was already very quiet at this point, not many people came in and out, and even the bus back to the city only came once an hour.

At 07:30, the last bus turned on the lights not far away on time.

Guan Yuzhou chose a seat in the back and sat down. He was the only one returning under the dangling bracelet.

Taking advantage of the dim light above his head, he took out an ID card from his pocket.

This was dug out of Jiecheng's bag.

The photo on the ID card was left several years ago, and it is slightly different from the boy's appearance now.In fact, this document is undoubtedly the best tool to find out his identity, but if it falls into the hands of the police, he will only change from a poor and unfortunate young man to a criminal who everyone shouts and beats.

The death is not clear, at least the walk is more stable.

He replied Yu Ziang's message from yesterday, saying that what should be done has been done, and asked them if the matter of keeping the dog has been settled.

Yu Ziang said that Chu Jin has been dazzled at present, they are all visiting different pet stores today, and so far they have not confirmed it.

Guan Yuzhou took a picture of the orange cat and sent it out. Yu Ziang asked after a while: His?

Guan Yuzhou said: Well, you can discuss it.

Yu Ziang returned quickly: I'll go over at a certain time, don't tell Chu Jin.

The two of them settled on one thing in a few words. Guan Yuzhou closed his phone and patted the cat's head through the cage.

"Are you wandering like your master?"

The little orange cat looked at him with a pair of ignorant eyes, maybe it was hungry, so it meowed.

Guan Yuzhou withdrew his hand and turned to look out the window.

No.

Your host may be homeless, but you are never homeless.

You are one lucky house cat.
