ghost in the office

Before the woman could speak, an old man sitting at the table closest to Dai Ran and the others looked at Dai Ran with dissatisfaction and said, "You young man really can't speak, the old Peng's cooking skills have been passed down from generation to generation. One generation, when this place was still poor, Lao Peng’s small restaurant was the only restaurant on our island, and we have been eating there for more than [-] years.”

Yuan Yi showed a foolish smile to the old man, expressing his disbelief: "I think you must be over seventy, this boss is at most 40 years old."

The melon and congee porridge, who had been immersed in eating, nodded at the right time, expressing their agreement.

The old man, who was just saying something when he saw injustice on the road, was really anxious now. He slammed the table down and stared at Yuan Yi: "You don't know how to be polite when you are young. He used to be in charge of Lao Peng's family. Lao Peng is younger than me." Big, why can’t I eat for more than thirty years?”

While talking, the woman brought out the remaining few dishes, and when the last dish came, a middle-aged man who was about the same age as the woman came out from the back room, just in time to hear the old man's last words angrily, The old man poured a glass of Erguotou: "Uncle, don't be angry, come, have a drink."

After speaking, he walked to the table with Dai Ran and the others. He was not angry and said with a smile: "Young man, my family has indeed opened a restaurant on the island for more than 30 years. It was my father before, and then I. It can be said that the island is Everyone has eaten my food."

The old man on one side was still a little angry, holding up his wine glass and yelling: "Lao Peng and I are old friends. I used to come here to eat and Lao Peng cooked for me. If Lao Peng hadn't disappeared, I..."

"Uncle." The middle-aged man smiled and interrupted the old man's increasingly uncontrollable chatterbox, "Is it because my cooking is not to your liking?"

The old man knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he choked for a moment, and took a sip of his wine in an embarrassing manner: "No, no, hey, stop talking, let's eat and eat."

The movement here has attracted the attention of other customers. Everyone has curiosity, but judging by the boss's appearance, it is obvious that he is not very happy to mention his family's private affairs, so after watching for a while, they all bowed their heads silently to eat.

Yuan Yi and the others stopped talking too much. There are too many people here, and it is inappropriate to ask too many questions. Now that there is a way to track down, let's wait and see what happens.

The four quickly finished their food, Melon told Yuan Yi coquettishly that they were not full, and Yuan Yi called the woman to ask for more food.

The woman smiled very proudly: "Let me just say it. Anyone who has eaten my old Peng's food has agreed. Come, come, take a look at the menu, and see what dishes to add."

He ordered two dishes casually, and while waiting for the dishes, the old man who had just yelled just finished eating by himself, and after paying the bill, he walked out of the restaurant in a crooked manner, apparently drunk.

Dai Ran slightly raised his eyes and pouted at Congee Congee, Congee Congee understood, raised his voice and said to Meigua that he wanted to go out to see the milk tea shop outside, buy a cup and try it, Meigua accompanied her out.

"Hey, all girls like this now, and so does my girl. It's not good to drink too much of this stuff." The woman seemed to like to talk, and she complained while clearing the table.

Dai Ran smiled helplessly at her: "I also advised her to drink less, but she just didn't listen."

Her point of view was approved, and the woman became even more enthusiastic: "Isn't it? It's not worth the money. Drinking too much is bad for your health. Hey, the living conditions of the children are so good now, but they were used to it when my father-in-law was around." Even with the child, he himself doesn’t listen to us.”

Yuan Yi held his chin in confusion: "Is your father-in-law dead?"

"That's not true." The woman cleared the table and went to serve the dishes in the inner room. Yuan Yi and Dai Ran exchanged glances. Now they can be sure that the old man of this family has indeed disappeared.

But judging by the attitude of the boss, he probably won't say anything. Right now, he can only see if the porridge and melon can get something.

The food was served quickly, Dai Ran and Yuan Yi were already full, but they had no choice but to continue eating.

Congee Congee and Melon quietly followed behind the old man, now the island is full of people, otherwise it would be very convenient to follow an old man without a trace, the two of them were quite close, watching the old man turn into the most lively place through The grove they passed by when they first landed on the island finally stopped at the gate of a small courtyard, and took a urination at the gate before entering.

Seeing the old man enter the house, Melon and Congee became worried, how could they talk to the old man and ask what they wanted to know?

The two girls stood on the road of people coming and going and looked at each other for a long time. Many men came over and kindly asked if they were lost.

"I have a solution, let's go back to the restaurant first, and come back later." Melon secretly wrote down the address, and walked back with Porridge.

Behind them, a girl came out of the forest, looking at their backs with her hands in her pockets, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

breaking point

Congee Congee and Melon returned to the restaurant with a cup of milk tea each, and complained: "There are too many people buying milk tea, and the line has been waiting for a long time."

As he said that, he winked with Dai Ranyuan, the four of them understood, and bowed their heads to eat.

At the checkout, the boss collects the money, Yuan Yi held a toothpick in his mouth and gave the money while saying, "Boss, your cooking is good, but your father's cooking should be even better, I really want to try it if I have the chance. "

"Hehe, you are welcome. If you like to eat, just come here. I still have several signature dishes." The boss gave Yuan Yi a takeaway order, "If you live on the island, you can call and order takeaway, we will Send it over."

Yuan Yi casually put away the menu, and the four of them walked out of the restaurant rubbing their stomachs. At this afternoon, there were more people, and the four of them wanted to discuss something. After searching for a long time, there was no clean place, so they had to come back to the restaurant last night. See Luo Wu's small yard.

When Luo Wu was caught during the day yesterday, it happened that the door of the courtyard was ajar, so they walked in directly.

But there are too many people here, they don't have keys, so they can't pick the lock as brazenly as they did last night.

With a "squeak", the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a man with a hat covering his hair poked his head out and shouted, "You guys are here, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The four people were startled, and they didn't react for a while. The people inside raised their voices: "Hurry up, the meeting is about to start."

When the passing tourists heard the voice, many of them turned their heads and looked at these people curiously. Dai Ran waved his hand, no matter what, let's go in first.

When the four of them entered the courtyard, the door closed again with a "squeak". The person who opened the door for them didn't try to hide himself. After closing the door, he took off his hat and raised his hair and smiled at them: "Well, I can still Help you."

It was Luo Wu. She changed into a slightly neutral dress, and just now she was wearing a hat and her braids were pressed inside, so she didn't recognize her at once.

Dai Ran folded his arms and looked down at the little girl: "Why are you here?"

Luo Wu said "tsk tsk" twice, and looked at the four people who were much taller than her with disdain: "I saw the two beauties following the uncle. I thought you had something to do, so I followed."

Congee Congee and Melon were quite surprised: "How did you recognize the two of us? We are dressed like this."

"Don't forget that I am also a woman. As long as I still have that face, I will definitely recognize it." Luo Wu raised her chest with a little pride, fixed her eyes on Yuan Yi, and stretched out her right thumb and index finger. Look carefully at Yuan Yi on the chin.

Yuan Yi felt that goosebumps came out, Luo Wu's eyes were like a hound staring at the prey that was about to get, it was creepy.

Luo Wu took out her mobile phone and took a photo of Yuan Yi: "I found that you are very photogenic, especially with makeup on. In the future, you can..."

"How did you get in?" Dai Ran abruptly interrupted Luo Wu, who was immersed in her own world, with an unfriendly tone, "Yesterday you said you couldn't get in."

Luo Wu smiled and took out a key from his pocket and showed it to them: "See, I have the key. Today I told my brother that I wanted to find a small yard with no one to paint. My brother asked the village committee Borrowing this small courtyard, I didn't expect that you would just come in."

Dai Ran was noncommittal, and asked another question: "What are you doing with Porridge and the others?"

"I said, Captain, you have so many questions. At first I stood by the restaurant and waited for someone. When I saw them coming out, I wanted to say hello to them, but they kept staring at the front, and they were dressed like that. , I think they might have stopped shouting when they were carrying out their mission." Luo Wu glared at Dairan dissatisfiedly, "Is there any problem, Captain?"

Luo Wu's answer was very reasonable, without any flaws, and Dai Ran didn't have anything to ask, so he asked very bluntly: "We have something to discuss now, can I trouble Miss Luo to avoid it?"

I thought that Luo Wu would get angry. After all, she opened the door for them to come in. It is not appropriate for her to avoid it directly. I didn't expect Luo Wu to understand very well. She didn't tangle with Dai Ran. She put on her hat and entered the room inside. Before leaving He stared at Dairan again.

"Boss, you are too unfriendly to her girl, I don't think she has any malicious intentions." Melon glanced at Congee, Congee nodded.

Dai Ran didn't want to continue entanglement on this topic, so he asked everyone to sit down straightforwardly: "Don't waste time, let's get down to business."

Porridge Porridge and Melon gave the uncle's address, and someone on the island greeted him on the road, calling him "Uncle Lu", and the person teased him whether he drank too much today. He entered the house.

It can be seen from the episode in the Peng's restaurant that the people in the Peng's family were unwilling to say more about this matter. Although they called the police at first, when the police came to the island to question them later, they didn't know anything. Whether you ask as a policeman or as an ordinary person, more than half of the chances are that you won't get anything.

The only breakthrough at this time was the old man named Uncle Lu. According to their observations in the restaurant and what they saw on the road, there was a characteristic that could be used.

Several people put their heads together and chatted to discuss.

Ten minutes later, Porridge walked to the door of the small room inside and tapped twice. Luo Wu came out with a mobile phone in his hand, and a small game page was displayed on the screen: "What's wrong?"

"We're done with the meeting, let me thank you first." Congee added the last sentence on his own initiative, and Luo Wu nodded with satisfaction: "This is decent, then you guys go first, I'll stay here later. "

Congee Congee nodded and went to his team to leave together. Luo Wu caught up from behind and grabbed Yuan Yi's arm: "What's your name?"

"Uh... my name is Yuan Yi, Yuan on New Year's Day, one on one, two, three." Yuan Yi didn't know why Luo Wu asked his name.

Luo Wu took out a pen and a small notebook from her messenger bag, wrote something quickly on the top piece of paper, tore it off and handed it to Yuan Yi: "I know you have something to do, wait until you are done." Can you take the initiative to find me?"

There is a situation!

Porridge and Melon looked at each other tacitly, and there was a flash of excitement in their eyes. This meant that Yuan Yi was approached by a girl?And it was very straightforward to ask for a mobile phone number without any cover?

Yuan Yi was very embarrassed holding the post-it note. He never expected Luo Wu to be so active. He even handed over the mobile phone number on his own, and it was not polite to answer it. It was too impolite to throw it away.

"I'm sorry." Dai Ran was the first to break the weird atmosphere, "The contact information of the police cannot be given out for no reason."

Congee Congee and Melon showed a puzzled expression to Dai Ran, is there such a rule?

Luo Wu found that Dairan didn't like her very much, and always wanted to confront her, so she rolled her eyes at Dairan and said in dissatisfaction: "The police also have their own private life, you guys are so lenient."

Dai Ran smiled very politely: "This involves confidentiality. If Miss Luo thinks I'm too lenient, I will take care of it."

Luo Wu glared at Dai Ran resentfully, intending to ignore this man who was flirting with her inexplicably, and turned to Yuan Yi: "What do you say?"

Yuan Yi carefully recalled the police regulations he had memorized, and it seemed that there was no rule against telling others his contact information.

But since Dai Ran said so, maybe there really is, but he didn't pay attention or it's an invisible rule.

Besides, from the bottom of his heart, Yuan Yi felt that Luo Wu was too enthusiastic, and he didn't know how to accept it since he had no experience with girls. Of course, he didn't feel that Luo Wu had any special affection for him. , he didn't really want to have any private contact with Luo Wu.

Racking his brains, Yuan Yi hadn't come up with a good way to refuse, Dai Ran waved his hand resolutely: "Let's go, I have something to do later."

Luo Wu yelled: "I hate it." Dai Ran stood behind Yuan Yi without looking back, and walked out of the small courtyard under Luo Wu's eyes.

Melon was a little puzzled, she looked at Dairan through the fake mirror frame: "Boss, do you have a problem with Luo Wu? You have such a bad attitude towards her."

Dai Ran lowered his eyelids and answered casually: "The truth of what she said yesterday has yet to be verified, and she appeared here by such a coincidence today, how do I know what her purpose is?"

Yuan Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I don't think she has any malicious intentions."

"Oh? Why are you so sure? You've known her for a long time?" Dai Ran glanced at Yuan Yi with a half-smile.

Yuan Yi was stunned, Dai Ran asked a very strange question, obviously they caught Luo Wu yesterday, and he didn't know Luo Wu beforehand.

Dai Ran realized that his tone was wrong, Melon and Porridge also looked at him with astonished eyes, paused for a while, and changed into a normal and serious tone: "I mean we can't just rely on feelings, Luo Wu's appearance is very coincidental , we have to be more vigilant."

This explanation is very reasonable, Yuan Yi nodded silently, but he felt that Dai Ran's tone just now was too strange, not in line with Dai Ran's usual appearance.

Dai Ran gave himself a hard slap in the heart, and said seriously: "Alright, let's put this aside for now. We just discussed something, so let's get ready to act immediately."

After 15 minutes, the four of them came to the small woods not far from Uncle Lu’s house. There were also many people in the small woods at this time. The four of them pretended to be two couples and occupied a bench for rest, chatting and staring at the place. side door.

"Head, Cao Cao sent a message, saying that Sun Yuan's information has been found. She was born in a certain city two thousand kilometers away from here. She lived in this city until she graduated from college. Later, she got a marriage certificate with Wen Jianguo here. According to the data, her only living relative is a grandma, who is over 90 years old." Melon quietly ventilated to everyone.

"Where is Wen Jianguo?"

"Wen Jianguo has a junior high school diploma and is three years older than Sun Yuan. He was born here and studied here. After graduating from junior high school, he worked in a small factory on the island. Now he is in the fruit business outside the island."

Yuan Yi felt very strange: "Sun Yuan and Wen Jianguo's birth and growth have no overlap. How did they meet and get married?"

Dai Ran ordered: "Let Cao Cao check the time when Sun Yuan left a certain city and the time when she received the certificate, and see how long there was in between."

"Good head."

Congee put forward a point of view: "Is it online dating? Nowadays, many people will first meet online and then propose to meet each other."

Yuan Yi shook his head, not quite agreeing with this point of view: "Luo Wu said that when she came here five years ago, some people on the island didn't even have a TV set. I don't think Wen Jianguo, who grew up on a small island, has the conditions to learn how to surf the Internet. .”

"You remember what Luo Wu said very clearly." Dai Ran commented appreciatively and immediately agreed, "I agree with this, provided that what Luo Wu said is true."

"Actually, I want to know if Wen Jianguo and Sun Yuan met online..." Melon booed, motioning them to look over there, "He's out."

"It's almost dinner time, the time is just right, follow the plan and adapt to the situation."

Uncle Lu

The uncle is indeed surnamed Lu, over seventy years old, a native of the island, and with an extroverted personality, everyone on the island knows him and calls him "" when they meet.

Uncle Lu is good at everything, but good wine. If you don’t drink two or two for a meal, you will be listless. He usually likes to order two small dishes and a little wine at the small restaurant on the island. His son works in the city, and his wife is there. With his grandson, his son has a good income, and he goes to the restaurant to pay his old father once a month, so Uncle Lu's little life is quite enjoyable.

It was almost time for dinner, and Uncle Lu planned to go to another small restaurant a little distance away from home for a drink. Lao Peng's restaurant did not have Lao Peng, and the taste was still a lot worse after all.

Uncle Lu was holding a small bottle of Erguotou in his hand and was going to take a pass along the small road, which was not crowded.Now that the island is engaged in tourism, although everyone's life is better, there are too many people, and the environment on the island is not as good as before.

Suddenly, a faint cry came to Uncle Lu's ears, as if it was a girl crying.Quickly prick up your ears and listen carefully, the voice is clearer, someone is indeed crying, and not far away from him.

Uncle Lu is a warm-hearted person. Outsiders are not familiar with this narrow path. Sometimes there are snakes and insects infested. If you are bitten, you should deal with it in time. Uncle Lu has saved several people on this road.

After carefully distinguishing the direction of the source of the sound, Uncle Lu walked over there. Sure enough, after walking a few steps, he saw two people behind a clump of tall grass, a man and a woman. The girl put one hand on her ankle, The other hand covered his face and kept crying, while the boy was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat, he lowered his head and said something to the girl.

"Did you get bitten by something?" Uncle Lu moved over quickly, and the girl showed him her hand. Sure enough, there was a very red mark on her ankle, the edge was a little blue, and a few drops of blood oozed out.

The boy wore glasses with paired frames and looked very weak: "Master, my girlfriend seems to have been bitten by some kind of bug. I called the ambulance and said that it will not be able to reach the island in a while."

Uncle Lu put the wine bottle aside, bent down and carefully identified the messy grass for a while, grabbed one of the trees and pulled it out vigorously: "What is it called an ambulance, come on, young man, chew this and apply it to your girlfriend's feet." Come on, I promise you'll be fine."

The girl stopped crying, and looked at Uncle Lu sobbingly: "Really, Uncle Lu?"

"You young people are inexperienced, hurry up, don't delay." Uncle Lu urged, the boy took the grass hesitantly, chewed it a few times, the expression on his face looked very painful, it seemed that the grass The taste was not that great.

"Yes, that's it. Put the grass on the wound, and it will be fine in a while." Uncle Lu sat down on the ground, picked up the small bottle of wine from the ground, took a couple of swigs, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and seemed to be planning to Wait for the girl to get better before leaving.

Five minutes later, the girl whispered to the boy, "It doesn't seem to hurt anymore." The boy quickly got up and carefully removed the grass from her wound. The jet black turned bright red.

The boy was pleasantly surprised: "It's really all right, thank you, sir." The girl also hurriedly thanked Uncle Lu, and Uncle Lu was even more proud, pointing to himself: "The old man doesn't lie, it's okay, it's okay, the old man is going to drink .”

The boy helped his girlfriend stand up and stopped Uncle Lu: "Uncle helped us a lot today, I don't know how to thank you, shall we treat Uncle Lu to dinner?"

Uncle Lu waved his hand to signal no need.

"We have a bottle of Moutai in our bag. It was originally given to her father, but the uncle saved her. If you like it, let my girlfriend cook some dishes for you. She is very good at cooking." The boy suggested sincerely.

Uncle Lu looked at the Erguotou in his hand. He didn't care if the food was bad, but he really wanted to try the Moutai they mentioned. He still knew the wine of Moutai, but it was not something he could afford.

"Then, then you all come to my house, I will live alone." Uncle Lu couldn't resist the temptation of good wine, but he still had a basic sense of security. none.

Uncle Lu called his son in front of the two of them, told him that he was going to entertain guests at night, and asked his son to call him at around eight o'clock in the evening to see if he had drunk too much. Ask the next-door neighbor to come over and have a look at the house.

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Lu felt relieved, and led the way, leading the two young people home.

The boy sent out a message, and the girl followed Uncle Lu.

Dai Ran and Congee looked at the phone, and said helplessly, "It seems that this trip is the work of Yuan Yi and Meigua."

It was Yuan Yi and Meigua who met Uncle Lu just now. The four of them were divided into two groups, guarding the two roads that Uncle Lu must pass to go out. If Uncle Lu came out, they would find a way to talk to Uncle Lu.

In the end, Uncle Lu was walking on a path. Yuan Yi and Congee congeeed for a long time and had no idea what to do. When they saw a snake in the grass, they came up with such a trick. Follow Uncle Lu and play by ear.

Considering that Uncle Lu had seen them in Peng's restaurant before, although Uncle Lu might not have remembered their looks when he spoke to himself, but in order to be safe, several people simply changed their attire, and Melon took off the frame for them. After Yuan Yi, Congee Congee also changed her hairstyle, and changed clothes with Melon, how could Dai Ran let her hair down.

Meigua and Yuanyi arrived at home with Uncle Lu. It was a small two-story building with a small footprint. There were several potted plants in the yard, and a small field was specially opened in the corner, and some green onions were planted in it.

Uncle Lu warmly greeted the two of them to sit down, and he came out with a basket of vegetables from the house: "I happen to have vegetables at home. I bought them this morning. I wanted to cook them at home by myself tomorrow."

Melon seemed to have fully recovered, and immediately stood up and took Uncle Lu's basket, saying that he was going to wash the vegetables and cook, and asked Yuan Yi to chat with Uncle Lu.

Yuan Yi took out a bottle of wine from his backpack and handed it to Uncle Lu. Uncle Lu carefully took it over and looked at it carefully, smiling while looking at it, thinking that he would be able to drink this good wine called "national wine" in a while, so don't worry too much about it. Beautiful.

"Young man, I'm really embarrassed to give such a good wine to the old man." Having said that, Uncle Lu had no intention of returning the wine bottle to Yuan Yi, and held it tightly in his hand.

Yuan Yi said sincerely: "The old man's words are too polite. You saved my girlfriend. This drink is just a small thing. I will have a drink with you later."

Uncle Lu waved his hand proudly, indicating that it was a trivial matter, and unscrewed the bottle cap, smelled it carefully, and said with emotion: "Good things are just different."

Yuan agreed and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, everything went well, and Uncle Lu's good wine was of great help to them.

Not long after, Melon brought out the first dish, patted the cucumber, and asked the two to drink first, and the other dishes were served slowly.

Yuan Yi poured half a glass of Moutai for Uncle Lu, poured a little for himself, and toasted him: "Master Lu, thank you for saving my girlfriend."

The mellow aroma of Moutai entered Uncle Lu's nose. He took a deep breath, a little reluctant to drink it. Yuan Yi took a sip by himself, and Uncle Lu took a small sip. He smacked his tongue and praised: "Good Good things, really good, I didn’t say anything at the entrance, oh, the old man had a good day today.”

At this time, Uncle Lu was very fortunate to have walked that path today, otherwise where would he have such a good drink?

Melon was very quick at cooking, and several dishes were served quickly. Yuan Yi was adding vegetables and persuading him to drink. Gradually, Uncle Lu's tongue got a little big, and he couldn't speak very well.

"Hey, a friend of mine lives on the island. We came here to play. I heard from him that there is a restaurant on this island. The owner's surname is Peng. He said that the food is delicious. We went, but it was average, really. Unfortunately, the dishes made by my girlfriend are still delicious." Yuan Yi poured some more wine for Uncle Lu, and persuaded Uncle Lu to eat with emotion.

Uncle Lu laughed, and took a big mouthful of food while laughing: "Young people, you don't know if you're not here, it was really delicious when Lao Peng was here, but now his son is cooking it, and the taste is delicious." It can’t be said that it’s not good, but compared with Lao Peng, there is still a gap.”

Melon just brought the last dish, and asked curiously after hearing this: "Is Lao Peng not cooking?"

"Old Peng, I stopped cooking about three or four years ago, but if we old neighbors go there to eat, Lao Peng will still cook for us. There is no way. After decades of eating, I am used to it." Lu The uncle gave Melon a thumbs up, indicating that the dishes she cooked are very good, "But Lao Peng disappeared a few days ago, hey."

Yuan Yi was taken aback: "Go away when you're old?"

Uncle Lu quickly shook his hand: "That's not that, that's not that, you can't talk nonsense about this, Lao Peng suddenly disappeared, and I don't know where he went."

Melon and Yuan glanced at each other, and poured another drink for Uncle Lu: "It's gone, did you call the police, and was it taken away by someone?"

"I called the police, but later people from the village told them not to call the police. We don't know the specific circumstances. It seems that the village head came to find Lao Peng's son and daughter-in-law." Uncle Lu's eyes became more and more blurred, and it seemed that he was really drunk. too much.

Yuan Yi frowned, village chief?Was it the village head who told the Peng family not to cooperate with the police?

Melon saw that Uncle Lu drank a lot, no matter how good Uncle Lu is, after all, he is old, and drinking it is not good for his health. She put the bottle cap on and put the whole bottle of wine in the corner of Uncle Lu's courtyard. on the cabinet.

Seeing that there was no more wine in the wine glass, Uncle Lu muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why is it gone? I haven't had enough."

He poured some cold melon into his wine glass to indicate that it was full. Uncle Lu saw it, smiled with satisfaction, and took a long gulp.

"In this case, did Uncle Peng go out with his friends and didn't tell his family?" Meigua then added at the end of the sentence, "Last time my dad went out with friends secretly and didn't tell my mom and me. And got into an argument with him."

Uncle Lu seemed to feel that the taste of the wine he drank just now was too weak, so he took two more sips, wiped his mouth and shook his head after drinking, "That must not be the case. Later, Lao Zhou and the old man of Lao Liu's family in the village also disappeared. Now, Lao Zhou and Lao Peng are still angry, how could they secretly go on a trip together?"

"Did they call the police?"

"No, I don't know, but the village chief has visited their two families..." Uncle Lu obviously couldn't hold on after saying this, he stared at the wine glass reluctantly, tilted his head, and put his head on his arm to sleep After passing by, he snored immediately.

Not to mention, Uncle Lu can not only drink, but also eat. Yuan Yi and Melon just ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and the rest were eaten by Uncle Lu. Now, except for a plate of braised fish, everything else is almost wiped out up.

Melon sealed the braised fish with plastic wrap and put it in the small refrigerator in the house. Yuan carried Uncle Lu to the room to let him sleep well. He poured a glass of water and put it on the bedside table. He also found a big basin and put it on the bed. head to keep him from waking up in the middle of the night and throwing up.

After picking up the messy cups and plates on the table, Melon took the dishes to the kitchen to wash. Uncle Lu fell asleep. They planned to sit down for a while and go back. There was a lot of information to report to Dai Ran.

The two were sitting in the yard talking quietly, one of them stood at the door and looked at the two in surprise: "Who are you? Where is Uncle Lu?"

Three eggs appear

Melon stroked her hair and smiled: "Hello, big brother, Uncle Lu rescued me today, we invited him to drink, he fell asleep after drinking too much, you can go and have a look, we are going gone."

It was the old neighbor next door to Uncle Lu's house who came. Uncle Lu's son called him according to his father's previous instructions, but no one answered. He was worried that his father had drunk too much, so he quickly called the neighbor and asked him to come Take a look at your own home.

The neighbor looked at the two people standing in the yard, a young man, one wearing black-rimmed glasses full of bookishness, and the other girl smiled very quietly, she didn't look like a bad person.

However, being entrusted to see Uncle Lu, the neighbor still went into the house to take a look. Sure enough, Uncle Lu fell on his back on the bed, snoring loudly, and he could smell the strong smell of alcohol standing at the door. The water and basin should have been prepared by two young people. They walked to the yard with confidence, shook their heads and said helplessly, "Hey, Uncle Lu has been drinking too much for two out of three days. Sleep until noon tomorrow."

Yuan Yi grabbed Melon's hand in time and carried his bag on his back, looking very embarrassed: "My girlfriend was bitten by a bug, and the uncle kindly helped us. Uncle Lu bought the food himself. We want to give him money, but He fell asleep, look, can you transfer this money to Uncle Lu for us later? There is no way that Uncle Lu will spend it. "

The neighbors were not too polite. Uncle Lu had rescued several tourists who had been bitten by snakes and insects before, and some people directly gave money to thank them. They all heard Uncle Lu mention it.

"Don't worry, I'll come to see Uncle Lu tomorrow morning and give him the money by the way."

Yuan Yi quickly thanked him, and said that he and his girlfriend still had something to do, and left with his belongings.

The two left Uncle Lu's house and walked for a while and stopped. They stood behind a big rock and stared at the yard of Uncle Lu's house. The neighbor soon came out, closed the door and left.

"It should be fine here, let's go back." Yuan Yi and Meigua still have something to report, but for Uncle Lu's safety, after all, they drank a lot, and they will come to see Uncle Lu's situation tomorrow.

It was almost nine o'clock when we returned to the homestay. Dai Ran and the others left food for them in the room. Yuan Yi ate food while drinking with Uncle Lu, but he was not hungry. Melon was very hungry and planned to fill his stomach first. , motioning Yuan to tell them what Uncle Lu said.

"It is certain that there are three families whose elderly people are missing, but the other two families have not called the police except the Peng family." Dai Ran pondered for a few seconds after listening to Yuan Yi's words, and then asked doubtfully, "Uncle Lu said that the village head asked for this Have all three talked to each other?"

Yuan Yi: "Yes, the Peng family reported the crime as soon as the old man disappeared. The village head should have gone to his house after the police arrived."

They all met the village chief yesterday, the one who came out to pick up Sandanzi at the village committee. Reminiscent of the fact that the village chief did not mention the disappearance of the old man after confirming their identities, the village chief went to find the old man. The behavior of the three families became subtle.

"Should we ask the village chief if we reveal our identities?" Congee felt that they were here to investigate the case, and there was no need to hide, and there was nothing wrong with giving them some warnings under the pressure of their superiors.

Dai Ran disagreed. He had been in contact with some cases in similar areas before. Due to the long-term isolation of these places, the village chief's status was comparable to that of an emperor, and his words were more effective than the police. Now it is a society ruled by law. If the village chief really does not If they are willing to cooperate and don't know anything about it, they can't extract a confession by torture, so he still advocates a secret investigation.

"Head." Cao Cao walked through another room with a few pieces of paper, and put the paper on the table, "Check it out."

There were a few lines written on the paper, which showed that Sun Yuan bought a train ticket from her hometown to a certain city in the south on September 9 five years ago, but got her marriage certificate with Wen Jianguo here on October 27. There is no record of returning there, but the strange thing is that it is not a short distance from Sun Yuan's house or the destination of the train ticket.

Since Sun Yuan bought a train ticket to a certain city in the south, why didn't she just go there and get off the train?The information obtained by Cao Cao shows that Wen Jianguo has never left this city since he was born, so there is no possibility that the two met in a certain city in the south.

At the same time, Cao Cao told them that he found two "informants" on the island in the middle of the night, and learned that three spirits did not appear on the island recently, which means that the three old people must have had an accident outside the island. Either it is still alive on the island, but it has not been found yet.

Now they have a team to solve two cases, one is the disappearance of an old man sent by Tang Bureau to investigate; the other is the accidental death of Sun Yuan that Luo Wu said but everyone said she just went back to her mother's house.

Luo Wu did not go through formal reporting procedures, and they did not file a case, and so far, except that Wen Jianguo did have a daughter-in-law before, the other things Luo Wu said could not be verified. One side checks the other first.

Even if what Luo Wu said is true, this matter should be handed over to the criminal police for investigation.

Dai Ran was hesitating whether to talk to Li You and let him
