On May 17th, 3021, Ling Hua An was practicing calligraphy with Hu Ting in the study, when the phone suddenly vibrated, Ling Hua An was not affected at all. After writing the last stroke, he put down the brush and picked it up. phone. Glancing at the number displayed on the screen, Ling Huaan frowned slightly, hesitating, but still connected the call.
“Hey, Auntie, are you looking for me?”
“Hua An, Lu Hao is missing, I can’t find him, did he find you?” Ling Ling’s voice was very fast, and she could tell that she was really panicked.
“I haven’t seen him for a while. Auntie, don’t worry, when did Lu Hao disappear? Think about it, did he mention where he was going?”
“Yesterday afternoon he said he was going to go out to buy snacks, but he didn’t come back for a long time, so I called him, but I couldn’t get through. My father and I searched the surrounding supermarkets, all No one was found. We went to the police, but the police station didn’t file a case, and no one has come back. I really don’t know what to do.” Ling Ling’s voice was already crying.
“Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll go right over.”
Seeing Ling Huaan hanging up the phone, Hua Ting asked aloud, “What happened?”
“Auntie said that Lu Hao is missing, I’m going to go check it now. Grandpa, there are ingredients in the refrigerator. If you want to eat, you can make it yourself. I’m not sure when you will be back.”
Hua Ting frowned and said, “Missing? Have you called the police?”
“The police station will not file a case before the specified time. I will go over to see the situation first.”
Hua Ting exhorted: “Huaan, that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you should be careful in everything, it is best not to let outsiders notice that your eyes are restored.”
“Okay, grandpa, don’t worry, I will be careful, take care of yourself, and call me if you have anything.”
“Don’t worry about me here.”
Ling Huaan hurriedly changed her shoes, took her coat and went out. It was too much trouble, Ling Huaan maintained his previous state, except for a few close people, no one knew that he had regained his sight. Walking out of the door, he slowed down and went downstairs step by step as before.
Out of the store, Ling Huaan called Jiang Chengyan and briefly explained the situation. Five minutes later, the two gathered at the door and drove directly to Lingmei Community where Ling Ling was located.
Seeing that Ling Huaan was silent, Jiang Chengyan comforted: “Huan, don’t worry too much, maybe Lu Hao just went to a friend’s house to play, and he didn’t tell the family for some reason.”
“I understand Lu Hao’s temperament, he would never do such a willful thing, something must have happened.” Ever since he received the call, Ling Huaan felt a sense of panic, and always felt that something was wrong Good things are about to happen.
Jiang Chengyan opened his mouth, but didn’t know how to comfort him, so he could only speed up and rush to Lingmei Community to learn about the specific situation as soon as possible.
The two parked their car outside the gate of the community, walked into the community on foot, and stood downstairs, Ling Huaan looked up and said, “Jiang, did I wear the pendant I gave you? ?”
Jiang Chengyan was startled, then stretched out his hand to pull out the pendant and said, “I have been wearing it all the time. Hua An, did you find something?”
“No, everything is normal, but I always feel uneasy. Team Jiang, you are waiting for me downstairs, I will go up by myself.”
“No! Hua An, since I’m here, I can’t watch you go on an adventure alone.”
Seeing Jiang Chengyan’s firm attitude, Ling Huaan nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go up together.”
The two walked into the unit building, took the elevator to the 10th floor, and came to Lingling’s house. Ling Huaan raised her hand and knocked on the door, and then she heard the door answer.
The door was opened, Ling Ling appeared at the door, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried. She looked at the two of them and said, “Huan, you are here, come in quickly.”
The two entered the room one after another. Ling Ling’s husband, Lu Lei, was sitting on the sofa. Seeing the two come in, he looked up, his eyes fell on Jiang Chengyan, and he said, “This is the criminal investigation team. police officer.”
“Yes, I am Changjiang Chengyan of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team. This is Uncle Lu, please tell me the details.”
“Last night at eight o’clock, Haohao said he was going to buy some snacks, and we didn’t care. But he didn’t come back after going for more than an hour, so I called him, but the phone didn’t work. I couldn’t get through. I was worried and went down to look for it. I searched all the supermarkets near the community, but I couldn’t find anyone, and the people in the supermarket said they had never seen him. I waited until midnight, and Haohao didn’t come back. We went to the police, but The police said there was no more than 48 hours and the case could not be opened.”
“Then have you checked the monitoring of the unit building?”
“Go, Haohao’s unit building at 8:15, but I can’t find it again.” Ling Ling said with red eyes again, and said with a choked voice: “Hua An , I am the son of Haohao, if something happens to him, I really don’t know how to live.”
“Auntie, calm down first and think about Lu Hao’s recent abnormal behavior? Or who are you guilty of?”
“Because of you, his mood is a little low, and the rest is nothing unusual.” Ling Ling thought about it and said, “I really can’t remember who I offended.”
“Auntie, I want to go to Lu Hao’s room to have a look.”
Ling Ling wiped her tears and said, “You know his room, go to your own.”
Ling Huaan stood up and said, “The second room on the left hand side, please take me there.”
Jiang Chengyan responded, helped Ling Huaan to Lu Hao’s room, opened the door and walked in. Jiang Chengyan whispered in Ling Huaan’s ear, “Huaan, did you find something?”
Ling Huaan shook his head, closed the door, and carefully checked Lu Hao’s room. The quilts were neatly folded, and the desk was neatly tidy, without a trace of clutter.
Ling Huaan took out his mobile phone and dialed it for Lu Hao, and there was a sound of a shutdown prompt from the receiver.
“How are you, have you got through?”
“Prompt to shutdown.”
Jiang Chengyan looked at Lu Hao’s room thoughtfully and said, “Huan, don’t you think something is wrong here?”
“Hmmm, so clean.”
“Huan, did you suspect that there was something wrong with Lu Hao’s disappearance from the beginning?”
“No. Just…”
“Huan, have you found anything?” Ling Ling walked in from the door with two glasses of water in her hands.
“No. Auntie, have you cleaned up Lu Hao’s room?”
Ling Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said: “Haohao is missing, we don’t have the mind to clean up the room, this room was cleaned before Haohao disappeared. He has been in a bad mood recently, I Just help him tidy up his room every day, I hope he will be in a good mood when he comes back.”
“Yesterday was Saturday, wasn’t he home?”
“At home. He was in a bad mood. He lay at home all day. He didn’t wake up until dinner time. I saw that his room was a little messy, so I tidy up.” Ling Ling handed the water in her hand to Ling Huaan and said, “You are thirsty, drink some water.”
“Auntie, Jiang and I are going to check the monitoring of the community and try to find Lu Hao’s whereabouts as soon as possible.” Ling Huaan looked in Jiang Chengyan’s direction and said, “Jiang, let’s go quickly. , can’t waste any more time.”
“Huaan, I’m very pleased that you can think of Haohao like this, and I’m also ashamed of being so ashamed of you. If you don’t blame my aunt, drink this glass of water, and I will be fine in the future. For you, let the previous unpleasantness go away.” Ling Ling said with sincerity, and handed the water in her hand again.
Ling Huaan stretched out his hand to take the water cup. The moment he took the water cup, Ling Huaan felt an extremely weak resentment. He looked up at Ling Ling, looked straight at her with clear eyes, and asked bluntly, “Auntie, tell me the truth, what happened to Lu Hao?”
Ling Ling’s eyes flashed and she said, “Haohao is missing, Huaan, what happened to you? You don’t want to forgive my aunt and help me find Haohao?”
“I know Lu Hao’s temperament very well. If he is in a bad mood, he will not be bored at home. Also, this room is so clean that it seems that no one has lived in it for a while. Auntie, Although we are not mother and son, we are still relatives, why do you deliberately harm me?”
“Hurt you? Where did I hurt you? Ling Huaan, I knew you were a white-eyed wolf and would definitely not help me. You all came here just to see my jokes, right? ?” Ling Ling asked angrily and loudly.
Ling Huaan did not say more, took out a paper talisman from his pocket, chanted the incantation silently, the moment the paper talisman was attached to the water cup, the water in the water cup began to boil, followed by crystal clear water It gradually became pitch black, and anger rose to the sky, and there was also a stench.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyan asked nervously, “Huan, what is this?”
Ling Huaan still looked at Ling Ling, and replied calmly: “This is the water for dissolving corpses, if I drink it, not only will my body turn into a mess of mud, but even my soul will be swallowed by powerful resentment. , completely lost his mind.”
Ling Ling’s face became extremely ugly, she asked angrily and loudly: “Why don’t you drink, you will be fine if you drink Haohao, you are a dead star, not only to kill yourself Parents, come to beat us now, you return my son, return my son!”
Ling Ling pounced towards Ling Huaan, but was stopped by Jiang Chengyan who was quick-witted and said, “Ms. Ling, I hope you stay calm, otherwise I will arrest you for murder.”
“Arrest me? Why are you arresting me? My son disappeared because of this mourning star. He is the one who should be arrested. His life is a scourge.” Ling Ling gritted her teeth. Looking at Ling Huaan, he said, “If Haohao has any problems, I will definitely not let you go!”
Ling Huaan stopped Jiang Chengyan and said, “What happened to Lu Hao? Who took him away?”
“Ling Huaan, don’t pretend, it’s because of you that Haohao was taken away. If you still have the slightest conscience, you drink what’s in the cup, you’re dead, Haohao I’ll be back now.” Jiang Chengyan stopped Ling Ling several times when she tried to go forward.
“Ling Ling!” Ling Huaan called Ling Ling’s name directly, and said blankly, “If you still want to save Lu Hao, answer my question carefully. It’s not just my time, but also Lu Hao’s chance to survive.”
Ling Ling was startled, the expression on her face changed and changed, obviously she was hesitating whether to trust Ling Huaan.
“The reason why I came here today is not for you, but for Lu Hao. If you still want to save him, just tell everything clearly, don’t waste any more rescuing Lu Hao precious time.”
After a while of silence, Ling Ling finally let go and said, “Okay, I said, but you must ensure that Haohao can come back safely, otherwise I will drag you to death!”
