It's not just the sound, you can feel it just by looking at the mottled rust on the security door and the remaining Spring Festival couplets on both sides, not to mention the various small advertisements posted in the corridor.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
Lin Mo knocked again.
He thought that Liu Jia's parents might not have gotten up yet.
According to the information, Liu Jia is the only daughter in her family. The old couple must be very sad after she has been missing for so long.
Then when I ask them later, I have to be careful about the way and method, and it’s best not to irritate the old couple.
In addition, if I lost my memory, Liu Jia's parents would definitely recognize me.
When they see themselves later, they may get emotional.
This also needs to be taken into consideration.
Lin Mo realized that he had come a little rashly and should investigate more carefully.
Just at this moment, a person came up the stairs below.
He was about fifty years old, wearing slippers and carrying a takeaway breakfast.
After coming up, the other party stared at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo thought the other person was a resident upstairs, so he tried to move aside. But the middle-aged man looked at Lin Mo and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Maybe it’s a neighbor in this building.
Lin Mo pointed to the security door in front: "I know this family."
The middle-aged man looked Lin Mo up and down again: "But I don't know you, who are you looking for?"
Is this his home? Lin Mo was stunned and looked carefully at the greasy middle-aged man in front of him.
Is this Liu Jia's father? The other party came up and banged on the door.
This time, there were footsteps behind the door, and then the door opened. A middle-aged woman poked her head out and said, "Can't you open the door yourself? And you don't have your key?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I forgot to bring it. Here, breakfast!"
As he said this, he handed over the plastic bag in his hand.
The middle-aged woman also saw Lin Mo at this time and looked him up and down: "Who is this person?"
"I don't know, I don't know him. He said he was looking for someone. Do you know him, wife?" The middle-aged man asked a nonsense question.
Sure enough, the woman frowned and said, "Why am I asking you if I know him?"
Lin Mo was also stunned at this time.
On the way, he thought that if he had accompanied Liu Jia's parents to report the case, they would not have been unfamiliar with him. Lin Mo even thought that when they met, this couple who had suffered the pain of losing their daughter would be in a low mood and have a hard life. When they saw him, they would be surprised and say, "Why is it you?"
Or they might say, "What are you doing here? Haven't you made Liu Jia miserable enough?"
This is the correct script.
But what is going on now?
Could it be that the address investigated by the General Administration is wrong, or Liu Jia's parents have moved away and rented this place to someone else? "Excuse me, is this Liu Jia's home?"
Lin Mo planned to confirm it.
He thought that Liu Jia's parents must have moved away.
"Yes, we are Liu Jia's parents. Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Mo with a puzzled look and asked.
Really! Lin Moxin said that this situation was really unexpected. Why didn't the old couple play by the rules?
Could it be that because five years have passed, he has let it go? Fortunately, Lin Mo's reaction was also very fast. He immediately said, "I am Liu Jia's high school classmate. I came to Lingmao City on a business trip this time, so I stopped by to visit."
"High school classmate?" Liu Jia's mother was obviously a straightforward person. She asked directly, "So you are here to see our Liu Jia?"
Lin Mo nodded.
That's all he could say.
Because according to common sense, unless you are very familiar with this family, it is unlikely that you would know that Liu Jia is missing.
This is weird.
Lin Mo almost tried to convince himself that maybe there was something wrong with his memory. Was it possible that he really accompanied Liu Jia's parents to report the case in a daze?
But the other party didn't even recognize me.
That means there was definitely something fishy about reporting the case that year, and he definitely didn't go there with me.
It is almost certain that someone is impersonating me.
When he thought of this, Lin Mo became furious, and secretly said that he had to get to the bottom of this matter, otherwise, even he might think he had schizophrenia.
"Our Liu Jia disappeared five years ago, and you don't know about this yet?" Only at this time did Liu's father look a little depressed.
This is the right reaction at this moment.
But Lin Mo always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a while.
Lin Mo immediately pretended to be very surprised.
"Missing? I don't know. We haven't been in touch for several years. I haven't heard from other classmates. What happened? Why did he disappear?"
Perhaps because Lin Mo’s acting skills were very good, Liu’s father and mother asked Lin Mo to come into the house to talk.
After all, it’s not good to say these things in the corridor.
After entering the house, Lin Mo discovered that although the residential building looked shabby on the outside, the area inside was quite large. It had three bedrooms and a living room, and it looked to be more than a hundred square meters.
That's pretty good.
"Young man, what's your name?" Mother Liu asked in the room.
"Hou Zi, but others call me monkey!" Lin Mo could lie without blushing or getting nervous, as he was very skilled in his job.
"Oh, I have an impression. I have an impression. I heard Jia Jia mention it before." Father Liu said to Mother Liu, and the latter nodded.
Lin Mo quickly asked about Liu Jia's disappearance.
"We still don't know the truth about this matter. We just heard from one of Jiajia's classmates that she was missing one day, so we went to report it to the police. Who would have thought that we still haven't found her until now."
Dad Liu sighed.
"We went to the police station to inquire every now and then, but they couldn't give us any results. It's been more than five years, and there's been no news at all. Sigh, I dare not think about the past days, I dare not think about it!" Aunt Liu's eyes also turned red.
Lin Mo noticed that there were many old photos of Liu Jia in the room.
The short-haired girl in the photo is youthful and beautiful, and she is indeed the same as Liu Jia in the group photo, and every photo is wiped clean.
Obviously, Liu Jia's disappearance is true.
After all, the police station has records, so it is impossible to falsify them.
But the person who accompanied Liu Jia's parents to call the police was definitely not me.
"By the way, uncle and aunt, you just said that you heard from a classmate that Liu Jia was missing. Can you tell me which classmate it was?" Lin Mo asked.
"Let me think about it." Father Liu recalled for a moment, then remembered: "It seems that her name is Lin Mo, my wife, right?"
"Yes, it's Lin Mo." Aunt Liu confirmed, and then looked at Lin Mo: "Monkey, Lin Mo should also be your classmate, do you know him?"
Lin Mo nodded: "I know him, I know him!"
Now it can be completely confirmed that someone pretended to be me and accompanied Liu Jia's parents to report the case.
Speaking of which, Lin Mo felt a little ashamed.
The old couple had finally managed to resume a somewhat normal life in the past five years, but they were reminded of the past that they didn't want to recall.
And looking at their expressions, they really don’t recognize themselves.
"By the way, do you remember what Lin Mo looks like?"
