A Chan

Chapter 51: Slipping off the Cocoon

Mother Li Xiang Qinling, Li Xiaoyi, and some relatives and friends are separately looking for the missing Li Zhongheng.

Li Xiaoyi's voice sounded tired and low: "Weiyi, aren't you in class?"

Li Weiyi's eyes turned red when she heard that, back then when such a big incident happened at home, her mother and elder sister said nothing to let her share it.

Zhang Jingchan replied: "There is a break between classes. How is the situation?"

"It's okay, don't worry, Uncle Ding of the criminal police team has been leading people to look for it, and my mother and I are also looking for it, and we will definitely find it... Dad is such an honest person, and he has no enemies. Maybe there is something urgent and he forgot to tell us. What about..." Li Xiaoyi choked up her sobs as she spoke.

Zhang Jingchan asked: "Where is Zhong Yiren?"

"He's with me and has been helping these days. Do you want to talk to him?"

"No. Where's Zhou Zhihao?"

Li Xiaoyi was silent for a few seconds, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Who knows? There were a few troubles in the past few days. Now, probably out of trouble, let's avoid it. Don't mention him."

Li Weiyi on the side thought coldly, Zhou Zhihao was probably too busy to take care of himself due to a fire in the backyard.However, he didn't show up for such a big incident in the Li family, which shows his heart.

Zhang Jingchan asked the police about the specific progress, and Li Weiyi's heart sank when he heard that.Ding Chenmo was very responsible and attached great importance to this case, and led the team to search for all the places and people he could find, but found nothing.No one knew why Li Zhongheng's whereabouts were so weird that night, even Xiang Qinling was at a loss.

Li Weiyi came back to save his father wholeheartedly, and only now felt powerless.She sat blankly, Zhang Jingchan said: "This is not the Li Weiyi I know. What Pacific time do you have to be sad? Bring that tone up to me."

A few words made Li Weiyi feel like being scolded, she raised her head and stared at him blankly.Zhang Jingchan rolled up the sleeves of her loose school uniform, exposing her wrists, holding the steering wheel, and sat upright.Only those eyes, as always, were bright and cold, staring straight into people's hearts.

Li Weiyi raised her hand to wipe away her tears, grabbed one of his arms, and said, "I see, take me to find him. Let's follow his route that night, shall we? I always feel that Dad's The disappearance has something to do with me. I must find the point where the butterfly's wings vibrate."

The injured rabbit was so excited by his words that he turned around and got up on the spot, and knew how to hold on to him.Zhang Jingchan smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."

The two went to Li's shop first, but the shop was closed.When the neighbors saw Zhang Jingchan, they were very concerned, and they gathered around to chatter.It was not too late for Li Zhongheng to leave that day. Several shopkeepers saw it, but no one cared.

"Dad that day... When Uncle Li left, did he look different from usual?" Li Weiyi asked, "Did he have anything in his hand?"

"No, Lao Li looks the same as usual, he greeted me with a smile, and walked slowly. He didn't take anything, and he was empty-handed, right? Hey-boy, who are you, you are so handsome, Are you a relative of the Li family?"

The two walked on the way back to Li's house.

Soon we arrived at a bustling small street, with grain and oil stores, fruit stores, vegetable market entrances, hardware stores, lottery stations, newsstands... everything.At that time, some stores should have closed, but some did not.The police had already asked, but no one noticed Li Zhongheng that night.

Li Weiyi frowned and said, "When my dad left the shop, there was nothing unusual, which means he was planning to go home. When he walked on this road, he was only a few hundred meters away from home, and suddenly turned to the river. It must be here. What happened? Something unexpected happened to him."

Zhang Jingchan said: "He didn't bring his mobile phone. It could only be because he suddenly saw something, heard something, or met someone. There should be no conflicts or major movements, otherwise the shopkeepers around would have an impression."

The two continued to drive to the river.

After 8 o'clock that night, there were many people walking on the riverside avenue.However, the police monitoring showed that Li Zhongheng hurried all the way, obviously with something in mind.There are several surveillance cameras on the riverside avenue, and he is the only person photographed, with no one to accompany him.

Soon, the two arrived outside the warehouse of the wholesaler.

The wholesaler has also been interrogated countless times by the police these days. When he saw Zhang Jingchan, he was quite gentle: "Xiaoyi, I really didn't see your dad that night, and I had nothing to do with him. At that point, you know, I Wholesale business, closed early and went home. I really don’t know why he came here all of a sudden.”

Li Wei believed his words.According to Ding Chenmo's investigation, the wholesaler and Li Zhongheng have always paid both money and goods, and there is no economic dispute.And they are all locals who know the basics, the relationship has always been good, and there have been no conflicts.

However, Li Zhongheng came to the riverside on purpose, walked past the entrance of the wholesale store, and then turned to an unknown alley, where exactly was he going?
Li Weiyi didn't get in the car, and continued walking in the direction Li Zhongheng left that night.Zhang Jingchan accompanied quietly.

It was the morning, the sun was warm, and many old people were playing with their children. There was a row of shops along the street, there were shops for renting skates, shops for buying cold drinks, canteens, bookstores, tearooms, lottery stations, restaurants, children's amusement parks...

A vague thin line emerged in Li Weiyi's heart.She approached the row of doors and looked from room to room.

Zhang Jingchan: "What do you remember?"

Li Weiyi hadn't caught that store at first, but when she turned her head and saw him, "=-10 billion" popped up in her head, and then "soybean futures" popped up, and then remembered what she asked him yesterday: Why don't you Dad buys lottery tickets?
lottery ticket?

Lottery!

She subconsciously touched her trouser pocket, and it was empty. The note with the winning number two months ago had long since disappeared.Looking at the lottery station not far away, she thought of another lottery station on the way home from the store, and her heart began to pound.

But... there are still many things that don't make sense.

"I'm not sure if my dad won the big prize... I'll ask." She murmured, ran to the lottery station, took out the photo of Li Zhongheng on her phone, and handed it to the boss: "Uncle, have you ever seen this man?" ? The night before yesterday, at 8:8 p.m. on the [-]th?"

The shopkeeper looked at it for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't remember, many people come here every day."

"Then do you have surveillance cameras installed here?"

"No."

Li Weiyi was disappointed for a while, Zhang Jingchan pulled her wrist, motioning to look up.It turned out that the winning numbers of various lotteries were posted on the wall, and there were countless happy news on the other wall.

Li Weiyi changed his mind, and asked: "Boss, have you won the first prize of double-color ball recently?"

As soon as she asked this, the boss's expression became excited: "Yes! Of course! In the issue of April 4th, 8 million came out, and I've been printing the banner for almost a month. Did you see it too? It's a pity, unexpectedly There is such a fool, I haven’t come here for a whole month! I asked the province a few days ago, and said that no one went to the province to redeem the prize. It expired on the 500th of the day before yesterday, and I probably didn’t go to claim it, so I didn’t bother to ask gone."
