Father Zhang said with an unhappy face: "Zhang Wen is my child or yours? You are such an outsider, how dare you say that I, as a father, don't understand my child."
He scrolled directly back to last year's chat history. Although the other party only sent messages once a month, they were basically very simple sentences. He quickly flipped to last year's chat history.
As he flipped through the pages, Zhang's father gradually realized that something was wrong, and his hand swiped the screen slower and slower.
"dad."
Zhang Meng couldn't help but choke up and said, "Haven't you noticed that my sister has been talking less and less since a year ago? Although she's been talking more often, she basically just asks about your family situation, and she won't reply no matter whether you reply or not."
Zhang Wen is a chatterbox. Even if she has a grudge with her family, she will always call them. If they don't answer, she will send a long message to talk about what has happened recently and what interesting things she has encountered.
But later on, they talked less and less, until now, it was just like a business matter.
Zhang Meng had a bad feeling in his heart, so he went out to work part-time and earned a lot of money. He wanted to go find his sister, but only then did he realize that they had no idea where his sister had gone to teach.
The parents didn't ask, Zhang Meng forgot to mention it, and his sister didn't say anything either. In the end, no one knew where the other party went to teach.
【Is this impossible to check? 】
[Everyone goes to buy 1999 official gu: This kind of volunteer teaching should be able to attract people, right? It's not like you can just go there with your own suitcase.]
Angewomon: There are many organizations that support this kind of teaching, and this family is a bit strange. I probably don't know which organization's system to contact to find Zhang Wen. Furthermore, Zhang Wen's accident was just her brother's guess, so the police won't intervene.
Mr. Zhang's face flushed red. Everyone in the live broadcast room thought that the other party would realize that he was wrong, but he still insisted on being stubborn.
"Maybe he's busy. What's the big deal? Next time you send a message, just call to confirm and be done with it. Don't waste your money."
"Dad, why are you like this?"
Zhang Meng was anxious and said angrily, "I have already paid the money."
"Just let this anchor come back and that'll be the end of it."
Ji Yu smirked and said, "I've already calculated everything, so I won't return it. Mr. Zhang, you can go ask what happened to someone who didn't pay for the divination."
[I almost fell to my death from a manhole cover.]
Ji Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhang's father and looked directly at Zhang Meng.
"Zhang Meng, your sister went to Laochen Village to teach."
[sunshine: I just did a search, and there are one, two, three, four, five... N Lao Chen villages on the map. Sister Ji Yu, which Lao Chen village is this?]
Zhang Meng looked up at Ji Yu, waiting for an answer.
"It's Laochen Village in Y City, inside a big mountain."
[Crazy Thursday: This place sounds familiar. It seems to be the hometown of a member of my project team.]
[Crazy Friday: You're not talking about that Chen Hao, are you? I have an impression of him. After all, he's the poorest student in the whole major. It's hard to find someone like him in the whole school. But I haven't seen him for a long time recently.]
[Crazy Thursday: I haven't seen him either. I haven't seen him since I came back to school from Laochen Village.]
Zhang Meng noticed this comment and asked, "Do you know where Laochen Village is? You've been there before. Do you know about the teacher who went there to teach there?"
Crazy Thursday: Sorry, we were looking for a rare plant and didn't pay much attention to the village. My impression was that it was very closed and feudal. As for the school, I don't think I saw it.
"This remote mountain village probably wouldn't have a dedicated primary school. They'd probably just use any spare room as classrooms."
Ji Yu glanced at Crazy Thursday and requested a video call with the other party.
This made "Crazy Thursday" first surprised, then at a loss, and finally he nodded in agreement in panic.
The moment the video opened, a girl with a doll-like head appeared in the live broadcast room. She was holding her cheeks and looking at Ji Yu with an obsessed look.
"Ahhh, Sister Ji Yu, I, I'm so excited. I never thought that one day I would be able to video chat with you."
"Don't get excited, put your hands down and let me see."
[Rose Tide: Oh my god, my sister personally goes to people's homes to tell fortunes. How lucky!]
Ji Yu's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "How long has it been since you last saw Chen Hao after returning from Lao Chen Village?"
"About, about a week?" Si Si was unsure. "Sister Ji Yu, we college students basically live in dormitories, and he's a boy. It's normal for me not to see him for a week, or even a month. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
[Crazy Saturday: I remember that Chen Hao guy seemed to be living out of town. Aside from meeting in the lab for projects, we usually had no idea where each other was.]
"The person is already dead. The landlord might come to the school in a few days."
"Dead? How could he die suddenly out of nowhere?"
【Food Lover: Oh my god, what's the number of kills tonight? 】
[Dong Sanyue: I don't know, it feels like several of them have died.]
Ji Yu hung up the "Crazy Thursday" video and looked at Zhang Meng again: "I'll take you there tomorrow."
[Onion-eating cat sauce: Ah, will there be a live broadcast tomorrow? ]
"No, the signal over there is not good. I can't broadcast live even if I want to."
The live broadcast room was instantly filled with wailing.
Ji Yu smiled apologetically, looked down at the distance between Yang Landlady's building and Gushu Town, and a message popped up on his phone.
"Miss Ji, would you like to come with me? Just looking at the landlady, you probably don't know the specifics of what's going on, but if we just go over there and check every household, we need a name. A police officer alone wouldn't be enough, so you can take me with you. I've already prepared a police identity for you."
Ji Yu burst out laughing and fought back.
——Mr. Shen, could it be that the Seventh Bureau asked you to check it out on the way?
Shen Baizhou was quite direct and admitted it without saying anything.
Ji Yu couldn't help but sympathize with the other party for a few seconds. It was a vacation that was agreed upon, so he should use it when necessary.
——Okay, come here, I’ll take you there.
——Late at night?
——Late at night.
"Okay, here I come."
Shen Baizhou quickly changed his clothes and rushed to Ji Yu's incense shop.
Ji Yu, who had just finished the live broadcast and came down from upstairs, saw Shen Baizhou in a police uniform in the store and couldn't help but walk around him.
"Mr. Shen, your equipment is very complete."
The corners of Shen Baizhou's mouth rose slightly.
"But why do I remember that the police in TV dramas always wear plain clothes when they go to the door to inquire about the situation?"
The smile on Shen Baizhou's lips froze.
"It seems, indeed."
