Counting Song Yu's earliest visit, this is the third time Zhou Yan and the others have visited the men's restroom on the third floor.

Unfortunately, they still found nothing this time. They did not find any traces belonging to Chen Qingming in the toilet.

Half of the curtain was placed high on the top of the toilet door, Zhou Yan walked out of the toilet expressionlessly, Ning Luan, Chang Minghao, Song Yu and others followed behind him, their faces getting worse and worse.

"The water in winter is really too cold." Zhao Yuanze took a piece of paper from the tissue bag and carefully wiped his hands that had been washed under the tap.

Zhou Yan suddenly remembered something, turned around and went into the toilet to take a look.

The sink under the faucet in the middle was wet, and before Zhao Yuanze washed his hands, the sink in the men's restroom on the third floor was dry, with no signs of use.

Zhou Yan came out and asked Song Yu: "Song Yu, does Chen Qingming have the habit of washing his hands?"

Song Yu knew what Zhou Yan was asking, and affirmed, "Yes, he washes his hands every time he goes to the toilet."

The experimental primary school is in a state of closure, and there is no one else in the entire teaching building except them and Zhao Yuanze.Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "You've all been to the toilets in this teaching building. Is there any floor where the sinks in the toilets are wet?"

"It's all done."

"The sinks I checked were all dry."

"It's very dry, like no one has used it for days."

……

Chen Qingming has the habit of washing his hands after going to the toilet. Since all the sinks are dry, there are only two possibilities.One is that Chen Qingming didn't come to the toilet at all, and went to another place; the other is that Chen Qingming went to the toilet, but something happened before washing his hands, and he disappeared completely in the toilet.

If it was the former one, Chen Qingming still had hope of surviving, but if it was the latter one, Chen Qingming might have been so cold that he couldn't even find his body.

Zhou Yan told others about the two possibilities he deduced.

"He definitely didn't go to the toilet." Song Yu concluded first, "He is the same as Lin Mingming, only missing."

Song Yu is Chen Qingming's team leader, so if he said that, it would be difficult for the others to say anything else.

Zhou Yan raised his eyes to look at the snowflakes in the sky, looked at Song Yu and said, "Let's go find it."

Song Yu was stunned for a moment: "Who are you looking for?"

"Chen Qingming." Zhou Yan glanced at Liu Qi and Qu Peng who were standing beside Song Yu, "You take the team to look for him elsewhere, and the rest of the people and I will look for Lin Mingming's disappearance in this teaching building. related clues."

Song Yu didn't expect Zhou Yan to make such a decision: "If I take someone to find him, it will definitely delay everyone's time to find Lin Mingming."

Zhou Yan: "No, you go."

Chen Qingming was brought in by Song Yu, and Song Yu felt that he had to be responsible to Chen Qingming.When Zhou Yan said that, Song Yu decided to let go and look for it: "Thank you."

Song Yu turned around and patted Liu Chi's arm, and said: "You have little experience, stay here and look for clues with Captain Zhou, and Qu Peng and I will go find Chen Qingming."

Liu Qi was inexperienced and a little nervous: "The phone can't make calls, how can we get in touch?"

Song Yu looked at Zhou Yan: "Captain Zhou, when do we rest at noon?"

Zhou Yan: "At one o'clock in the afternoon, meet at the stairs on the right of the first floor of this teaching building."

After making an appointment to meet, Song Yu and Qu Peng went downstairs together, Zhou Yan led the others into the classroom of Class [-], Grade [-], and continued to search for clues related to Lin Mingming.

Unlike other students in the class, all of Lin Mingming's stationery is double.

In addition to the old-looking pencil case on the desktop, there is also a brand new, identical pencil case in Lin Mingming's drawer.Lin Mingming's used pens, gel pens, pencils, and erasers were packed in the old pencil case, and a set of the same style and color was also placed in the new pencil case.

Zhou Yan put one hand on the table, and reached into the drawer with the other hand to take out all the books inside.

After reading several books in a row, Zhou Yan found that the covers and title pages of all the textbooks had been torn off, and Lin Mingming's name and class were written crookedly on the top of the table of contents, in the same handwriting as the words on the white slip of paper under the chair.

The old and rotten books quickly filled the table neatly. Noticing that no one was looking at him, Ning Luan hurried over and said, "Captain Zhou, are these all Lin Mingming's books? They are too old, right?" .”

Chang Minghao stood not far from them, and said after hearing the sound, "It's not outrageous. Some students in our class just got the new book less than a month ago, and they tossed the book like this."

I noticed that there was a slight indentation on the table of contents of each book, as if someone had written on the previous page and printed the traces of the words.Zhou Yan took out a pencil from Lin Mingming's pencil case, and quickly scratched at the place where there was an indentation.

After more than ten seconds, a white-edged rectangle appeared at the place where there was an indentation.

Zhou Yan tried a few books, all of which were the same.

Ning Luan asked, "Captain Zhou, what clue did you find again?"

Zhou Yan handed over the top book, and Ning Luan leaned over and took it away, standing in front of another table and looking at it: "Is this printed from the previous page? I remember that most people I am used to writing my name in this position, why did he draw a rectangle here."

"The rectangle is the name."

A laughing voice came from Zhou Yan's pocket, it was Lu Chenzhao's voice.

Zhou Yan looked down at his coat pocket: "How do you know?"

Lu Chenzhao smiled and said, "Because I've seen it before."

Since Lu Chenzhao saw it, then only...

Zhou Yan put his hand into the right pocket of his coat, and took out the note with the names of Lin Mingming, Song Xiaoyu, etc. from it, picked out the blank one and put it on the pile of books, and scratched it with a pencil on the white paper .

Soon, a white-edged rectangle appeared on the white paper blackened with a pencil.

The names pasted on the bottom of the chair are the names of the students in the second class of the third grade. The rectangle pasted on the innermost side represents the very likely first owner of this chair, a student in the second class of the third grade.

Zhou Yan casually put the pencil into Lin Mingming's pencil case, stood up straight and said, "Maybe there is one more missing student from Experimental Primary School."

Ning Luan opened his mouth wide in shock: "No way, there is another one?"

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, and told Ning Lun the new clue, and Ning Lun told the other people about it.

Chang Minghao was a little puzzled: "If the rectangle is the student who disappeared first, why is his name written in this set of textbooks? Did Lin Mingming use his book, or did someone write his name in Lin Mingming's book?" name?"

Zhou Yan picked up the white strip on the table and thought for a moment, then said softly, "As long as you know who the rectangle is and his relationship with Lin Mingming, you will have the answer."

Ning Luan was puzzled and said, "Ms. Zhao only has three rosters for the second class of the third grade, and there is no one who has graduated. How can we find them?"

"Physical education teacher." Zhou Yan said coldly, "The physical education teacher of the second class of the third grade is the same person every time."

"Team Zhou is right. That physical education teacher must know. We must try to think of a good question to ask him tonight." Ning Luan was still very excited at the beginning, but he became a little sluggish as he spoke, "Physical education teacher... You shouldn’t ask us any difficult questions, right?”

Zhou Yan glanced at him: "You'll know if you ask."

Ning Luan thought that Zhou Yan wanted him to ask questions tonight, and was taken aback: "Team Zhou, I can't do it. I just passed the 800-meter physical test in college. Sports is my weakest subject. I have no fate with sports at all." , Let me go when I ask other teachers."

Zhou Yan ignored him and continued to look for clues.

Song Yu and Qu Peng searched the other teaching building and the playground, but they couldn't find any trace of Chen Qingming.Song Yu didn't give up and wanted to keep looking. After lunch, he made an appointment with Zhou Yan to meet in the afternoon, and took Qu Peng out into the snow.

Zhou Yan was worried that they were short of manpower, so he asked Chang Minghao to take Luo Nan to help, and the rest of them went with him to other classrooms and offices to find clues.

It was getting dark, and the people on Zhou Yan's side didn't find anything new, and Song Yu's side didn't find any clues related to Chen Qingming's disappearance, so that when they met at the stairs on the first floor of the teaching building, most of the people's faces were pale. how good.

Zhao Yuanze had something to do tonight, so he couldn't send Zhou Yan and the others to the staff dormitory. Before leaving, he gave Zhou Yan a note with the name of the physical education teacher in Class [-], Grade [-], and asked him to take the note to find him. Uncle Wang, after speaking, he gave Zhou Yan his spare flashlight and lent them light.

In the night sky, snow fell on the ground, and a thick and light layer fell on the ground that had been swept during the day.

Holding a flashlight, Zhou Yan led a group of people behind him to walk in the snow.

It was very quiet all around, except for the sound of wind, footsteps, and snow falling from the treetops, there was no other sound.

Silently, the dense fog that overflowed from Zhou Yan's left mouth quietly blended into the surrounding night.

The scorching woody fragrance swayed in the wind a few times, and all of it floated to the tip of Zhou Yan's nose.

Zhou Yan turned his head and saw Lu Chenzhao walking beside him.

Lu Chenzhao was wearing a brown coat, and after walking a few steps, a few thin flakes of snow fell on his body.

Zhou Yan glanced at the snowflakes hanging on Lu Chenzhao's eyelashes, and suddenly remembered the warmth that touched his cheek in the morning.

Zhou Yan switched the flashlight from his right hand to his left. With his right hand poking into the night, he lightly touched Lu Chenzhao's fingertips.

Lu Chenzhao thought he was going to do something, instinctively stretched out his hand to grab it, but let go at the last moment, watching Zhou Yan put his hand into the coat pocket with lowered eyes.

Lu Chenzhao put his left hand behind his back, and asked with a smile: "Captain, if you want to hold hands, you can hold hands, and if you touch them, you can run away, what's the matter?"

Under the light of the flashlight, Zhou Yan's face was calm: "Something touched my face this morning, I wonder if it was your hand."

The smile on Lu Chenzhao's face froze for a moment, and the blink became natural again.

He did touch Zhou Yan's face before entering the box in the morning, and Lu Chenzhao couldn't remember the reason.He came out several times during the day, but Zhou Yan didn't respond. Lu Chenzhao thought he didn't notice, but Zhou Yan would mention it at this time.

"Oh." Lu Chenzhao replied with a smile, but didn't say anything else.

When they were about to reach the entrance of the staff dormitory building, everyone saw a snowman more than one and a half people tall with his back facing them in the open space at the entrance.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters, two meters...

Zhou Yan, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and took a look at the pass from the right pocket of his coat.

Ning Luan, who was squeezed one meter away from Zhou Yan by the people behind him, saw Zhou Yan's movements clearly, and asked curiously: "Captain Zhou, you don't need a pass to enter the staff dormitory building, why do you take it out?"

Zhou Yan looked at the snowman in front with a sullen face, and said softly, "There is the same rope hanging around the snowman's neck."

Ning Luan was even more confused: "Impossible, only we have the pass, where did the snowman get this kind of rope."

Zhou Yan: "Go and have a look and you'll know."

"Whoohoo-"

The wind suddenly became stronger, wrapped in snowflakes and slapped on everyone's bodies, blowing up the rope hanging around the snowman's neck.

Everyone saw that what fell at the end of the rope was a passport.

As if he had a premonition, Song Yu passed Zhou Yan and Lu Chenzhao regardless, rushed to the snowman's side and grabbed the passport that was about to fly.

The sensor light at the door was on, and Song Yu lowered his head to see the name on the pass clearly.

This pass belongs to Chen Qingming.

Song Yu looked away uncomfortable, and met the face of the snowman at the door.

A bloody face that belonged to Chen Qingming.
