love of life

Lin Zexi disappeared.After Gu Ming hung up Liu Xin's phone call, he was still in a state of anxiety.In the past week, he had been feeling angry about Lin Zexi's refusal to say goodbye. After calling once but failing to get through, he thought to himself that he was avoiding him and didn't want to see him.I am addicted to the game day and night by myself, for fear that I will appear cowardly when I accidentally think of him.It is said that the most effective rescue time for a missing person is 24 hours, and the longer the time, the slimmer the chance.Seven 7 hours have passed now, and this huge number made his heart feel cold.Without relatives and friends, if he doesn't take the initiative to find him, will he die somewhere and no one will know?Scenes of crime scenes from various American dramas flashed in his mind, and he felt his breathing start to tremble.He kept pacing around the room, unable to calm down.

Gu Ming smoked one cigarette after another.He thought carefully about Lin Zexi's words and actions before he left, for fear of missing something.He remembered the phrase he said just now, "He just wants to live well."After knowing his experience, Gu Ming suddenly understood that the previous uselessness and humbleness were all just for the helplessness of "surviving".Gu Ming has heard countless people complain about the hardship and cruelty of life, but he has never experienced it himself.He has always thought that being poor is because of laziness, being eliminated is because of not working hard, and he deserves it all. But the person next to him is living humblely and working hard, trying his best to do everything to the best, but in the end he still can't get rid of his tragic fate.What is the ultimate reason?Because he is gay and does not conform to the value orientation of the mainstream society, Xu's family does not accept his son's sexual orientation, preferring to put all the faults on him and hurt him with cruel and cold methods, as if as long as he disappears, his son It's like loving a woman again.Who is wrong?is gay?Or mainstream values, public opinion?Aren't you a defender of mainstream values ​​in society?There is no doubt that he sympathizes with Lin Zexi, but what about his father Wada Eiji?Hurt homosexuals deserve sympathy, should those living a normal life be cast aside?He couldn't find the answer, and his chest felt like a heavy blow with a sledgehammer.All those years of hatred for his father, homophobia and bigotry were suddenly shaken, and a deep wave of fear came over him.

Tian Yingzhi, the name suddenly came into his mind, he was the only one who had contact with Lin Zexi.Gu Ming took the mobile phone, it was past one o'clock in the middle of the night, he hesitated for a moment, and dialed the number.

"Gu Ming? It's so late, what's the matter?" Tian Yingzhi on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his surprise in his confused words.

"Who? Gu Ming?" Gu Ming heard Gu Wenbin's voice on the phone, and the image of the two lying on the same bed suddenly appeared in his mind.Normally, he would have been sneering and sarcastic, but today he has no intention of entangled in these things.

"Has Lin Zexi contacted you these days?" Gu Ming asked directly.

"Zexi? No, hasn't he been with you all the time? It's been more than a month since I last contacted him, and you haven't had your summer vacation yet. What's the matter? He disappeared?"

"It's okay, do you know who he usually contacts?"

"I'm really not sure about this. Oh, yes, that person may know. His surname is Liu, and he is near your school. Have you heard him mention it?" Tian Yingzhi faltered, typing while talking Gu Wenbin's inquiry seemed to be a little apprehensive.

"Leader Liu, I know. Let's do it like this." Gu Ming deliberately ignored his father's chattering voice on the phone, and hung up the phone in a hurry, annoyed that he was so anxious that he had forgotten Captain Liu.

Regardless of the fact that it was midnight, he drove directly to the police station near the school.He came to the duty room at the door and said to the police on duty: "Hi, let me find Team Liu."

The policeman had two dark circles under his eyes, looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter? I'm on duty tonight, so you can tell me anything."

"It's useless for me to tell you. I'm looking for Captain Liu, so tell me if he's there?" Gu Mingyi was impatient, his tone a bit uncomfortable.

"Hey, you are so fierce! If you want to call the police, you can call me. If you want to call Team Liu, you can call him yourself. It's midnight, what are you doing here?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm here to look for Team Liu. Why is it so difficult to get through the door of your agency? A captain is so arrogant."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean it's hard to get in? You call the police and ask me for warm reception. I'm on duty tonight, and I'm here for business. I'll take care of it for you. I don't care about private matters, most of the time. In the evening, you can call yourself." The policeman on duty also turned around and continued to bury his head in writing, too lazy to talk to him.

Gu Ming glanced at him helplessly, and shouted towards the aisle: "Captain Liu, is Captain Liu there?"

The policeman on duty immediately jumped up from his chair, "What are you doing? If you make trouble again, I will arrest you."

At this time, a familiar figure came down from the second floor and asked, "Who called me just now?"

"Captain Liu, this is the guy who specifically said he wanted to find you, but he didn't say anything to me when I asked him, and just kept yelling here." The policeman on duty immediately filed a complaint.

Gu Ming didn't bother to talk to him, and went directly to Team Liu, "Captain Liu, has Lin Zexi contacted you these days?"

Team Liu scanned Gu Ming from top to bottom, "Can you tell me who you are first?"

"My name is Gu Ming, and I belong to Lin Zexi—" Gu Ming paused before slowly uttering two words: "Friend."

Team Liu stared into his eyes and repeated in a questioning tone: "Friend? I've never heard him mention you."

"Are you familiar with him? Doesn't he come to you to report once a month?" His tone made Gu Ming a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but choked.

"Oh, I see, you are his employer, right? Why is this so? Did something happen to Lin Zexi?" Team Liu sat down on the stool in the aisle, signaling Gu Ming to also sit down with his eyes.

"Lin Zexi is missing, and the phone can't be reached. Has he contacted you?"

"Missing? He comes to me to report at a fixed time every month. If he doesn't leave the city, he won't take the initiative to contact me. It's only two weeks before the report time. We haven't contacted for more than two weeks. Team Liu took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Zexi's number, and a voice prompt came from the receiver to tell the owner to turn off the phone.Team Liu frowned slightly.

"How? Can't get through?"

"When did you find out he was missing?"

"A week ago he said he was leaving. I always thought he decided to leave on his own. I didn't realize he was missing until today."

"Why did you suddenly realize that he was missing today? Wouldn't it be easier to explain this situation as if he was hiding from you?" Team Liu continued to ask.

Gu Ming really, really dislikes this inquisitive man in front of him, and he will not take the initiative to say that he asked someone to investigate this matter.

"Before he left, he had been beaten several times. It was because of this that he decided to leave. I was a little suspicious when I couldn't get through the phone."

"Slapped? By whom? I never heard him say it, and he didn't even tell me that he was leaving."

"Don't ask so many specific questions, just tell me can you find him?" Gu Ming asked bluntly.

Team Liu stared at him for a while and said, "I can check whether he has any record of leaving the city by means of transportation."

"You don't need to check this. No, there is no record of plane, train or car rental. I suspect he is still in this city." Gu Ming said impatiently.

"How do you know? User information is confidential, even if I want to inquire, I need to submit an application." Team Liu stared at him even more puzzled.

"This—I just know anyway, so don't ask for details. Since you don't have any more clues here, then so be it, I'll go first." Gu Ming was a little upset by running for nothing.

"Wait a minute. Come here at night to ask these two sentences and then leave? Since you believe that he is missing, you don't want to report the case and let the police find it for you?" Team Liu called to Gu Ming who was about to leave.

"It's too troublesome to make a report even if you report the crime." Gu Ming turned to look at him and said, "Besides, if you don't report the crime, you will help find it, right?" After speaking, he turned and walked towards the gate.

Team Liu hurried over and stuffed a business card in his pocket, "Hey, if you have any news, please contact me as soon as possible, and don't act rashly." Gu Ming left without answering.

It was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night when Gu Ming returned home, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.Gu Ming knew that it must be Xu Zhengwen's subordinates. He was in charge of political and legal work and had great power in the city and province.It is no exaggeration to say that he can easily make a person disappear.The more he thought about it, the more irritable and panicked he became. He picked up the mobile phone next to the bed and looked at it. It was only 04:30, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.At this time, Xu Zhe's name suddenly appeared in his mind.He dialed the phone without hesitation, but a reminder that the phone was turned off came from the receiver.Xu Zhe has a serious dependence on mobile phones. He once joked that he carried two charging treasures in his bag, and his phone would never be turned off.It seems that Xu Zhengwen was really angry. Not only did Lin Zexi be tied up, but even his own son was restricted in his movements.His heart was even heavier, and now he could only pin his hopes on Liu Xin.

Gu Ming just thought about it all night, and then he turned on the computer to search. It turned out that he really didn't have the talent for a detective, and he didn't have a clue.The only way he could think of was to go and stay near Xu Zhengwen's office, and then he denied this idea himself, because he soon realized that Xu Zhengwen would not do it himself.Maybe he can monitor his phone calls, but he doesn't have this channel, and he's not a hacker, unless - Gu Ming jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, tidied up and went to Team Liu again.

Last night, the policeman on duty saw Gu Ming rushing over from a long distance, and couldn't help frowning.

"Is Team Liu there?" Gu Ming asked immediately.

"Didn't I tell you last night? Please call him for private matters. Besides, didn't you just meet last night? It's only been a few hours."

"Some urgent matters need to be discussed face to face. Is he in there?"

"I'm really not here at the moment. He went out after seven o'clock. It's like calling him if there is something to do. His phone is equipped with an anti-monitoring system, which is very safe."

"Then do you know where he went?"

"He said he was going to go up there for a while. He probably went to the city. If he can't come back for a while, you should go back first."

"In the city? The Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

"It should be. After you left, Team Liu locked himself in the office, and hurried out early in the morning without eating breakfast."

Gu Ming felt that he must have found some clues.He took out the business card in his pocket, dialed the phone number on it, hung up after two rings, and then received a message: "I'm in a meeting, I'll call you back later."

"Is Team Liu meeting in the city this morning?" Gu Ming asked the little policeman.

"Yes? I haven't heard of it. It shouldn't be a regular meeting. It's usually a big deal to rush to the meeting after seven o'clock, but we can't have no news at all." The little policeman held a pen in his hand and tilted his head in thought .

Gu Ming looked at him helplessly, determined not to waste time with him here.
