deep sin

Chapter 81 Unfamiliar Calls
Qin Ruonan just asked casually, but Chai Xiu's complexion changed instantly. A lot of sadness was added to the originally smiling face. I wonder if Qin Ruonan misread it, and her eye circles seemed to be moist in an instant.

"I have no children." Chai Xiu replied in a low voice.
Qin Ruonan suddenly felt very embarrassed, and realized that he might have accidentally touched the most untouchable pain in Chai Xiu's heart. Although he didn't know the reason, Chai Xiu's attitude clearly showed one thing. Because of some unspeakable secrets, the female body coach is out of reach for children.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Qin Ruonan looked at Chai Xiu in embarrassment, feeling extremely guilty in his heart, "Don't take offense!"

"It's okay." Chai Xiu quickly adjusted her emotions, and smiled softly at Qin Ruonan, "I actually like children very much, and now I give them body classes several times a week. I'm very happy."

Qin Ruonan nodded silently. She felt that it was better for her not to open her mouth to continue the current topic. After all, she and Chai Xiu had just met, and she felt very sorry for poking each other's pain unintentionally. As far as friendship is concerned, saying some comforting words that are light and deep is like pouring salt on the wound of the other party.

Chai Xiu didn't speak anymore, the two of them were silent, Qin Ruonan was full of guilt, and Chai Xiu took out his mobile phone from time to time to check.

After a while, the door of the coach lounge opened, and the young man named Zhang Lei walked in first. His forehead was profuse with sweat, but his expression was not as gloomy as when we first met. An Changpu was also sweating, as if he had just finished running 800 meters.

"Thank you for your cooperation in our work!" An Changpu smiled and nodded to Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei grinned and smiled: "Don't be too polite. Well, I've written down your phone number. I'll find a time later. You are competing with me and helping me improve!"

"Actually, with your height, it's not easy to practice to this level!" An Changpu replied modestly. In the blink of an eye, seeing Qin Ruonan looking at them inexplicably, he didn't rush to explain, but waved at her. "You guys are almost done talking here, right? Then let's go back!"

Not only Qin Ruonan, but even Chai Xiu seemed to be curious about the change in the attitudes of the two men. However, as a colleague, Qin Ruonan didn't ask any further questions, so Chai Xiu was naturally even more embarrassed to ask. I want to help my uncle with some things, so I say goodbye to them first, and the other three walk out of the fitness center together.

As soon as she went out, Qin Ruonan was about to ask if Chai Xiu's husband had come to pick her up, but Chai Xiu had already taken small steps towards the man standing by the gate under the shadow of the lamp.

"My husband is here to pick me up. I'm leaving first. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me!" Seeing her husband, Chai Xiu showed her petite attitude even more, while waving at An Changpu and Qin Ruonan, While taking her husband's arm, her husband, a thin and gentle man with glasses, also smiled and nodded to the two of them, and then the husband and wife walked away arm in arm.

Looking at the backs of the two, Qin Ruonan felt that they were so harmonious, and couldn't help feeling a little envious in her heart. She quickly adjusted her emotions and followed An Changpu into the car calmly.

"I can only go here today. Fang Da said that all the relatives and friends he can contact have never seen the child. Tomorrow, I plan to expand the scope of walking, including shops and residential buildings around the school and gym." Ann Chang Pu told Qin Ruonan his plan.

Qin Ruonan did not raise any objection to this.

"It's almost here!" An Changpu raised his wrist to check the time, and found that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. After such a delay in the fitness center, more than an hour passed like this, "If you have no place to eat at night, the two of us Find a place to solve the food and clothing problem!"

"No, go eat by yourself. I want to cut my hair before the door is closed." Qin Ruonan also looked at the time.

"Okay, where is the barber shop? I'll send you there in a while!"

"It's near where I live, not far away. I can just walk there. By the way," Qin Ruonan recalled the question in his heart, "What happened to that Zhang Lei? Why did his mood change so much before and after?"

"He," An Changpu couldn't help laughing when asked about Zhang Lei, "That kid is actually very simple-minded, and it's funny to say it. He dreamed of being a policeman when he was a child, and he even signed up to study in his spare time. As a result, he didn't study well in Sanda, the college entrance examination results were a mess, he couldn't get into the police academy, and he didn't even get the notification letter from other universities, so the family sent him to a private fitness coach training school, thinking that he was good at sports anyway, the family There is an uncle who runs a fitness center."

"So he has been feeling unhappy because his wish has not been fulfilled for so many years?"

"There must be a little bit of displeasure. The main reason is that he is not convinced. He feels that apart from his lack of grades in cultural subjects, he is no match for him in terms of skills. Just because of his grades in cultural subjects, he can't be a policeman. He feels unbalanced. That's why I told me just now that if you want him to cooperate with the investigation, you have to compete with him first!"

Qin Ruonan was taken aback: "So you two really competed?"

"If I don't make gestures with him, will he cooperate well! Anyway, it's up to the point of agreement, I can't hurt my peace, and I can't lose to him, so what are you afraid of!" An Changpu replied quite confidently.

As a result of the competition, Qin Ruonan didn't need to waste his time asking. From Zhang Lei's enthusiastic attitude towards An Changpu later, he knew that although Zhang Lei was a bit stubborn, he was still an upright person.

"Then what did he say about Fang Wan?"

"He was sure that Fang Wanyou came to class. Zhang Lei said that he had a fight with his girlfriend that day, and he was in a bad mood. In the past, Fang Wan and a few other boys were naughty, and he usually didn't bother to pay attention to them. As a result, he was in a bad mood that day. In class, Fang Wan disturbed him again, whispering and sneaking together, so Zhang Lei scolded Fang Wan and the other two little boys in a fit of rage, and punished them to stay and tidy up the class The badmintons I used when I was in school, those three children left get out of class later than other students.”

"In other words, according to the information we have so far, apart from his two classmates, Zhang Lei is also a very important person who met Fang Wan last time!" Qin Ruonan thought. refers to.

An Changpu nodded: "That's right, but he has evidence of his alibi for the time being. After class that day, he took a few more personal trainer courses. He just gave me the names and contact information of the students. It's not difficult to verify. true and false."

After hearing this, Qin Ruonan didn't ask any more questions. Fang Wan's disappearance drew a big question mark in her heart. She had worked for several years and was not experienced enough, but her common sense and intuition told her that the more ordinary and inconspicuous she was. , but unconventional cases, the easier it is to hide mystery in it.If Fang Wan was a few years older, maybe things would be different, but a 10-year-old child who didn't have much money disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated. This is definitely not a simple matter. Simply run away from home.

An Changpu sent Qin Ruonan near her residence, and drove away by himself. Qin Ruonan quickly turned into a side street, and found the barbershop he had been visiting since he settled down in City C.

Her personality is always nostalgic. Once she gets used to something or someone, she will rely on it and is unwilling to change it.So when she walked into the barbershop, the little girl at the cashier at the door immediately called the barber she was most familiar with - Cui Lidong.

"Sister Qin, you're here!" Cui Lidong was cleaning the seat and the floor in front of him, and he seemed to have just finished cutting the hair of a guest. When he saw Qin Ruonan coming, he greeted her enthusiastically.

After a while, Qin Ruonan washed her hair and sat on the chair in front of Cui Lidong. Cui Lidong wrapped her up with a cloth, carefully tucked it around her neck, put her hands on the back of the chair, looked at Qin Ruonan in the mirror, and asked : "Still cut it the same way, right?"

Qin Ruonan instinctively wanted to nod her head, but she suddenly hesitated in her heart. She looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was not trimmed in time because of being busy. But it's not long, and there are girls with fluttering long hair outside. Compared with those girls, her hairstyle is already neutral enough.

"I want to grow my hair, just trim it a little for me." The conversation in the evening came to her mind, and she suddenly made up her mind.

Cui Lidong was a little surprised. He and Qin Ruonan hadn't known each other for a long time. It was less than half a year since she came to work here, but this was the first time he heard that Qin Ruonan wanted to grow long hair.

He didn't say anything, Qin Ruonan could still see Cui Lidong's surprise from his expression for a moment, and there was an imperceptible wry smile on her lips.It seems that I really should make some changes, otherwise I will be firmly labeled as a "male woman" by the people around me.

Cui Lidong swiftly began to trim Qin Ruonan's hair, chatted with her casually, and quickly arranged the layering for her according to Qin Ruonan's goal of growing long hair.

"Sister Qin, if you want to keep your hair long, you should come here often to have it trimmed, otherwise it will be unsightly if it grows out of layers." Cui Lidong repeatedly told Qin Ruonan to dry his hair with a hair dryer after cutting it.

The cashier who was waiting to collect the money looked at him with ambiguous eyes and secretly smiled. Qin Ruonan's mind hadn't been completely separated from Fang Wan's affairs, and he didn't notice the actions of the people around him.

When he got home, he had just entered the house, and before he could get himself a stutter, Qin Ruonan's phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the caller ID.
