Mingxi

Compared with Xiao Bowen, Cui Xiaoxiao and Pan Jieying's news is very limited.But thanks to Jiang Zichen's outstanding appearance, the two girls are very happy to chat with him, as long as they pay a little price, such as adding a contact information or something.Just after talking with Xiao Bowen, they have some questions that need to be answered.

For example, "Did Cheng Qianque and Li Shiya really date back then?"

The two girls looked at each other, embarrassed, and finally Cui Xiaoxiao said, "Shiya and I have been classmates for several years, and have been in the same class since elementary school. Shiya is good at everything, but she likes to provoke good-looking boys. Just like collecting stamps, she likes to be friends with all kinds of good-looking boys. She has a good condition, so she has always been very popular. But Cheng Qianque is different, he doesn't pay attention to these at all."

"That's right." Pan Jieying interjected, "We heard that Cheng Qianque is a single-parent family with only one father. Because of his illness, the family has always been very difficult. He was admitted to our school with the first place in his grade. To help him, The school also gave him a tuition reduction."

"So in fact, it was Shiya who was pestering him unilaterally." Cui Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed to arrange a deceased person behind his back, who was still his good friend, "Cheng Qianque never responded, he privately I have rejected many times, but Shiya is very persistent, Cheng Qianque has no choice but to change classes."

When asked about the relationship between Xiao Bowen and Li Shiya, Pan Jieying reacted greatly. She said angrily, "Xiao Bowen is Li Shiya's second choice besides Cheng Qianque. At that time, Li Shiya and Xiao Bowen walked very close. As a result, after Cheng Qianque entered school, Li Shiya kept chasing Cheng Qianque. Who knows, the two of them are good friends, just Because of this, we broke up."

"Did anything unusual happen after Cheng Qianque disappeared?"

"I don't know, because during that time, everyone was very uncomfortable and looked for people everywhere."

……

After sending the two girls away, Jiang Zichen wrote down the names of several people on the paper. From the current point of view, Cui Xiaoxiao and Pan Jieying were closer to the deceased Li Shiya. Xiao Bowen and Cheng Qianque were childhood playmates, but their relationship broke down because of Li Shiya.He connected online among several people, and after a few seconds of thinking, he circled Li Shiya's name heavily.At this time, Mingxi sent him a message, "I asked the teacher of the school about what happened in the recent period after Cheng Qianque disappeared. A week later, the school encountered an experiment error in the laboratory. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but a few bottles of acid were lost." "What acid?" "Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, but they are used in schools, and the concentration is not high."

Indeed, as Mingxi said, the concentration of the acid used in the school is not high enough to dissolve a person's body, but, what if, that experiment was just an inspiration.Thinking of this, he sent a message to Lu Qi, asking him to check the family backgrounds of these people, focusing on whether any family members have worked or are working in the pharmaceutical industry or laboratories where they are exposed to strong acid chemicals.

"Do you really think they would do such a thing?" Ming Xi couldn't imagine.

"Who knows, I'm just making this kind of assumption." Jiang Zichen never underestimated the evil of human nature, even the seemingly innocent and kind-hearted teenagers and girls, "I'm hungry, shall we go eat together?"

"Okay." Ming Xi got up, picked up his coat, a candy fell out of his coat pocket, and rolled to Jiang Zichen's feet with a gurgle.Jiang Zichen picked it up, and saw that the outer layer of the candy was wrapped in paper, the package was airtight, without any words or labels on the surface, if it didn't smell sweet, he would not have guessed that it was a candy. candy.

"Is it a handmade candy? The same as the one from last time?" Jiang Zichen remembered the pink candy that Mingxi said was a thank you gift and took it back.

"Almost, it's brown sugar." Mingxi smiled and put it back in his pocket.Jiang Zichen was a little embarrassed, he was so obvious, why couldn't he give him one.As if seeing what he was thinking, Mingxi took out a new can of candy from the belly of the table and put it in his arms, "This is for you. My brown sugar has medicinal ingredients, so I can't just give it to you."

Jiang Zichen actually doesn't like candy, he is different from Lu Qi who would die if he doesn't eat candy, he just doesn't like Mingxi's alienation and defensiveness towards him.However, when he got the gift, he accepted it naturally.

Still, add medicine to the sugar, "Are you sick?"

"It's not a big problem, it's just to take care of your body." Ming Xi said, and then asked him what he had gained today. "I think the possibility of Cheng Qianque surviving is very low," Jiang Zichen's face darkened at this point, "Also, Li Shiya must be involved, and Cui Xiaoxiao and Pan Jieying, who seem to be out of the way, must have concealed it. What." "What about Xiao Bowen?"

"Haven't you heard of a drama with three women? Their relationship is more complicated." Jiang Zichen has always believed in his perception, "I plan to visit Cheng Qianque's father tomorrow, come with me."

"Do you know who his father is?"

"Yes, you should have met him, but you don't know him, he works as a librarian at the school where Cheng Qianque disappeared."

Cheng Qianque is a single-parent family, his mother died young, and his father's name is Cheng Jianye. Because of his low education level, he can only do some manual labor.Because Cheng Qianque suffers from asthma, the high cost of treatment has made their lives very difficult.However, because his son is very competitive and sensible, everyone who knows him will praise him for having such an excellent son. Therefore, although life is very hard, he still feels very happy.

Until, this kind of life came to an abrupt end two years ago.The police told him he didn't understand what he meant when his son disappeared from school.His son goes home every two weeks and does not participate in any sports activities at school due to physical reasons.

He didn't even go to work. He searched everywhere every day, but he couldn't find it.Without his son, without his only family member in this world, what else would he do?Why is he working so hard?Full of despair, he once wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by the teachers who came to visit him.

In the end, maybe it was pity for him, the school arranged for him to work in the library, comforted him, he could continue to search, his son must be fine, but before that, he must live a good life.

As Jiang Zichen said, Mingxi had indeed seen him, but he really didn't look like the father of a teenager.He looked too old, half of his hair was gray, his eyes were gray, and he was lifeless, as if he had half stepped into a coffin.

Hearing their intentions, Cheng Jianye took a deep look at them and said, "No matter who you are, as long as you can find my son, I have nothing to say."

However, Cheng Jianye only got the news on the second day of Cheng Qianque's disappearance. Before that, he had not seen his son for a week.

"My son is in poor health and can't run or jump, so he can only read books. Before he came to school here, he often came here to borrow books. For many years, he has read most of the books here. As he said, he took out a stack of cards, "This is the registration card for borrowing and borrowing. The library bought a lot of computers a year ago, saying that they use computers to register, and they don't need these cards. I just found them out. My son once borrowed them, and they all have his name written on them." He stroked these old cards, and muddy tears dripped down his old face on the table.

"Can I have a look?" With his consent, Ming Xi took the stack of cards, some of which were filled with writing, and some of which had only a few names.Jiang Zichen leaned over to look, and suddenly stretched out his hand, arranged these cards, and took out a few. "Uncle Cheng, I heard that your son and Xiao Bowen were playmates when they were young, right?"

"Yes, Bowen is the child of our neighbor, an old neighbor for decades."

"Does he like reading too?"

Cheng Jianye thought for a while, "I don't know much about it. I just heard from his parents that this kid was very rebellious a few years ago and didn't like to study. But sometimes he would come to the library with my son to borrow books."

Jiang Zichen nodded, and then asked, "Can we use the computer in the library?"

After getting permission, Jiang Zichen directly opened the search engine in the museum.Mingxi glanced at the card he drew out, and found something strange, "Has Xiao Bowen borrowed these books after Cheng Qianque returned them?" These books are religion-related, biographies, and literary epics Yes, relatively unpopular, very few borrowers.

"I have an idea." As Jiang Zichen said, he took a chapter of the borrowing card, keyed in the name, and searched for the borrower. Among the long list of names, he found Xiao Bowen's name without any surprise. , it’s all the same, “If it weren’t for these books, there would be too few borrowers, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to find them all at once.” For every book that Cheng Qianque borrowed, there must be one of the borrowers. Xiao Bowen.
