Chapter 88

After Li Wenyu reported his address to the taxi driver, the driver looked back at him in surprise before starting the car: "Young man, something happened to this bar two days ago and it closed, didn't you know?"

Li Wenyu Yu paused while looking at the screen of his mobile phone, then raised his head and asked, "Closed? Why?"

"I don't know." Seeing that he really didn't know, the driver simply turned off the car, "It's just that the policemen came over and the business was closed." Two weeks, no young people have passed recently. "

It may be a big deal to keep the bar closed for such a long time.

Seeing Li Wenyu's silence, the driver twisted his neck and asked, "Are you still going, young man?"

Li Wenyu hesitated for two seconds, intuitively thinking that this matter might have something to do with Ji He, and turned off the phone screen: "Go."

The driver clicked his tongue. Without saying another word, the taxi drove towards the intersection.

This bar was originally located in a remote location. After the closure, the original dark red signboard deep in the alley was extinguished. There were only a few light sources on the entire street, making it even more inconspicuous as if it was isolated.

Li Wenyu walked over under the dim street light. The deep and narrow staircase at the entrance of the bar was sealed. No light or sound came from inside. It was completely opposite to the absurd and barbaric atmosphere when he came last time.

He was inexplicably uneasy, and was about to go to the police station with Li Teng to file a case, when he suddenly discovered that there was a shabby little hotel diagonally across from the bar, and the camera at the door was shining with a faint light.

There was a middle-aged woman sitting at the front desk of the small hotel watching TV. She didn't even raise her face when she saw Li Wenyu coming in. She pointed at the price list of several room types posted on the wall and motioned for him to read it himself.

Li Wenyu walked over: "Boss, can you show me the surveillance video at the door?"

The boss then raised his head and looked at him with some vigilance: "What do you want to do?"

Li Wenyu smiled politely: "I want to find someone to record the video of the night the bar closed."

The boss glanced at him impatiently: "Look for someone to go to the police station. Why are you here?"

Li Wenyu looked down at his watch and realized It was getting late, and it was really inefficient to search blindly like this. It was better to go directly to the police station to file a case, so I had to apologize to the boss: "I'm sorry to bother you." As

soon as he turned around, the boss shouted to him in a rough voice: "Hey, for two hundred yuan, I'll rent you this computer for twenty minutes."

...

The computer was a bit old, and Li Wenyu was stuck for a while when he tried to check the surveillance video.

The surveillance picture on the screen was a bit gray, and the overhead shot only captured a corner of the bar entrance, which was slightly blurry. There were many people in front of the bar that night, mostly men and women, mostly coming out to take a breather and smoke, but they all dispersed when the police came.

Li Wenyu stared closely and paused the screen to show the police leading several young people to get into the police car.

He zoomed in on the picture and found that Ji He was indeed here, but not among those people. He was only standing not far away smoking. There were two people standing next to him, the two people Li Wenyu had met the last time he came to the bar.

Before, Ji He was a little afraid of them because they were so courteous and flattering, but now he was leisurely puffing out smoke with a cigarette in his pocket.

Li Wenyu couldn't help looking at the screen and frowning.

"Hey, have you finished reading?" The boss reached out and tapped on the side, and when his nails scratched the wooden table, he made a sharp and drawn-out sound, "It's been twenty minutes."

Li Wenyu came back to his senses, still a little absent-minded: "Look That's it, thank you."

He took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, and Pei Xin's phone number rang together with the payment success tone.

Li Wenyu looked at the time again. It was already half past seven. He answered the phone and walked out of the hotel. He was dazzled by the lights of the building opposite. He lowered his face a little tiredly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei said . Listening to his voice, Xin seemed to pause for a moment before speaking, with a calm voice: "Where are you? Are you looking for Ji He?"

Li Wenyu subconsciously looked back at the empty alley and frowned: "How do you know?"

Pei There was a mix of howling wind and car horns on the other side: "Ji He picked up grandma from the hospital this afternoon."

Li Wenyu paused, confused and nervous: "What?"

Ji He usually went to the hospital to see him. How could a grandma suddenly go to pick her up? Even Li Teng didn't know about it.

Pei Xin noticed the tension in his emotions, turned the steering wheel, and softened his voice: "The hospital called me and said that Ji He went to see his grandma in the afternoon and took her downstairs for a walk, and he didn't go back after that."

He asked people to I went to check Ji He's whereabouts, but what was unusual was that there was a blank in the past few days. Even the traces of him after leaving the hospital today disappeared without a trace. This was obviously a problem.

Li Wenyu walked quickly out of the alley in a panic: "Grandma's body can't leave the hospital right now? I have to bring grandma back."

"Don't be anxious," Pei Xintui glanced at the console, " I've sent people to find Ji He. I'll pick you up now."

Li Wenyu became unusually impatient and said directly, "No, just go and report the case. Ji He has been out of contact for several days, so just ask the police to find him. Maybe faster. Grandma's physical condition is dangerous for leaving the hospital for one second."

The streets were busy with traffic. Pei Xin ended the meeting immediately after receiving the message from the hospital, and even the driver didn't have time to catch up.

Neon lights and car lights flashed, cutting deep and shallow lines into the windshield. He knew that Li Wenyu was in a panic, so he could only agree: "Okay, I will go, don't worry. First think about your last time When I met Ji He, was there anything unusual about him or what he said? "

Li Wenyu had already run out of the alley. Unfortunately, the road was remote, there were no pedestrians, and there were no taxis in sight. After listening to Pei Xin's words, he forced himself to calm down a little and said without thinking: "He asked me to borrow money, but I didn't give it to him... Did he take grandma away just to get money from me? Or did he get money from grandma...?" "

In his impression, although Ji He has a naughty personality and has been reluctant to obey Li Teng's discipline since his parents were separated, he would not do such a thing.

The last time they met, the last time they met...

He couldn't help but think about the bad side of things. When he thought of this possibility, Li Wenyu clenched his phone tightly and found Ji He's message in WeChat that was set to do not disturb mode. .

The chat box was almost filled with text messages from Ji He using various tones to borrow money. They ranged from groveling to unceremonious threats, but they suddenly stopped a few days ago, and no messages were sent since then.

Pei Xin heard that the other end became quiet, and recalled that Li Wenyu's face had turned ugly after he came out of the balcony that day back to Nanwang Lane, and a deep coldness flashed across his eyes: "If it's just for money, everything can be solved easily, don't worry. "
