swear by the wind

After a few days of treatment and rest, Ge Ziyan's cold is almost healed, but his cough is still not good. Ling Tian specially gave Ziyan a week's leave to let him rest at home.

During the few days resting at home, Ling Tian would go home on time to have lunch with Ziyan, and after every meal, the two of them would nestle together on the big lazy sofa in Ziyan's room for a lunch break.Today's weather is excellent, sweeping away the haze caused by the continuous rain and snow some time ago, the warm sunlight shines through the glass windows, making Ziyan curled up like a lazy cat in the afternoon, with his head buried in the furry blanket In the middle of the night, lazily dozing off with his eyes slightly squinted, Ling Tian lay on his side, leaning his head against the furry heads that were half exposed, hugging Ziyan with one hand, and combing his fingers with the other. She brushed his hair without a hitch.

"Dinglingling--" Just when Ziyan was about to fall asleep, a burst of rapid cell phone ringing woke him up suddenly.

"Hello? Brother Xuan?" The coughing voice was a little hoarse. When he picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Ah Xuan, Zi Yan felt a little strange.

"Ziyan, has Xiaoqi contacted you recently? Has he looked for you?" Ah Xuan asked a series of anxious questions on the other side of the phone.

"Xiaoqi?...No, I was sick a few days ago and have been drinking water. What's the matter? Brother Xuan,...no..." Sensing Axuan's undisguised anxiety and panic, Ziyan was a little uneasy for a while , I intuited that something happened to Xiaoqi.He had been a little unspeakably disturbed by Xiaoqi's strange behavior before. He didn't want the bad premonition to come true. He was always helpless and had no friends, and he always regarded him as his brother in his heart. If something happened to him... "Brother Xuan, did something happen to Xiao Qi?!"

"I can't find him! I've been looking for days, I've searched everywhere he might have gone, but there's no news at all. If you don't even have news about him, who else will he contact? So, where else will I go?...What should I do? Ziyan, what should I do?"

"How did Xiaoqi disappear?! We had dinner and chat together a few days ago..."

Anxiety gradually appeared in Ziyan's tone. He recalled Xiao Qi's unusual reaction that day, did Xiao Qi have some thoughts in his heart that day?There was a shock in his head, he turned over and sat up abruptly, his whole body tensed up, his hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly, his eyes looking at Ling Tian were full of panic and uneasiness, and his eyes were instantly red and foggy. He held Ling Tian's hand involuntarily, and his words were choked up for a moment: "Woo... Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Qi is gone..."

Ling Tian had heard their conversation from the side, snatched the phone from Ziyan's hand, asked Ah Xuan a few words, then hung up the phone, held Ziyan's trembling hands with his back, tightened them tightly, and comforted him. To: "Don't worry, we will definitely find him. Xiaoqi is a sensible boy, he will not do things that will worry and surprise those who care about him, you have to trust him! Now we have to rush to the bar immediately Meet up with Axuan and the others, and then go find Xiaoqi together. This time Xiaoqi even hides it from you, so he is probably determined to leave. You are the closest to him, so quickly think about where he might go .”

Ling Tian's powerful hands seemed to give Ge Ziyan a little strength, he tried to calm himself down, yes!Now is not the time for me to panic. Brother Xuan must have searched all the places they could think of. must.

The two of them got dressed and were about to go out when Ge Ziyan received another call from Director Fang. The hospital had already arranged for his mother to change hospitals, and Ge Ziyan was asked to go over immediately to make the handover.Ge Ziyan's heart is suffering like an ant on a hot pot. He wants to go out to find Xiaoqi immediately, but he has to be there at the hospital.Considering the urgency of finding Xiaoqi, Ling Tian suggested that Ziyan go to the hospital alone, while he went directly to the bar to meet Axuan first, and then discuss the matter of finding someone.

Ge Ziyan hurried to the hospital to complete the relevant procedures, then sorted out his mother's things, followed the hospital car to the new rehabilitation center, where he met the new attending doctor, Dr. Jiang.Because he was anxious about Xiaoqi, Ziyan rushed to the Butterfly Club after arranging the nursing work of his mother and explaining some precautions to the nurses.

When he arrived at the Butterfly Club, he saw a sign at the door saying "the owner is busy and the business is closed". Ge Ziyan felt a pain in his heart and hurried in.In the lounge behind the bar, Xue Kai, Cen Liming, A Xuan, and Ling Tian were all sitting. A Xuan's hair was a little messy, his complexion was not very good, and the green stubble on his chin looked like he hadn't shaved for several days. up.Xue Kai also looked sluggish and tired, smoking desperately by the side, the ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, Cen Liming knew that it would be even more uncomfortable if he was asked not to smoke now, so he just quietly accompanied Seeing Xue Kai didn't say much.

"Bang--" the door was pushed open vigorously, everyone looked up at the door, Ah Xuan even had a glimmer of light in his eyes, hoping that the person who came in would be the missing Xiaoqi, but when he saw that it was not Xiao Qi, the light in his eyes immediately dimmed.

Ge Ziyan rushed in front of the crowd panting, and asked eagerly, "What's the matter? Have you guys figured it out? I've been thinking about what Xiao Qi said when we chatted with me all the time, as if he didn't mention it. Is there anything in particular you want to go to?"

"Ziyan, think about it again, isn't it true?!" Ah Xuan looked at Ge Ziyan expectantly, as long as Ziyan could come up with a place name, even if it was a corner in a foreign country, he would know it. Regardless of everything, go right away.

"No! Really not! Brother Xuan, do you know? Xiaoqi once said this to me: 'I think staying in a place with Brother Xuan is a kind of happiness. I can breathe his air and appreciate his blue sky. , so happy to be alive like that.” How could Xiaoqi, who could say such words at that time, think of going somewhere else?! If it wasn’t for what you did to him that made him completely give up, he would choose to leave without saying goodbye Is it useful for you to be in a hurry when the person disappears?! Why didn’t you treat him better at that time?! Even if you just looked at him more, he would definitely not do such a thing! Xiao Qi... Xiao Qi left How miserable and desperate it must have been... What if I can't find him?...What should I do? Uh..." Ge Ziyan had already felt resentment towards Ah Xuan when he heard that Xiao Qi was missing, and now When they saw each other, they couldn't contain the anger in their mouths, and yelled at Ah Xuan recklessly. He always remembered how painful and uncomfortable Xiao Qi was in those days when he couldn't get a response, and he kept complaining about Ah Xuan. How could Xuan have the heart to treat the kind Xiaoqi like this.

"You're right, I'm the bastard! I'm the one who's sorry for Xiao Qi! I just realized now that I... didn't love Xiao Qi at all, but at that time I didn't want to restrict my free life because of him. I can just ignore him, but I didn't think about it... He didn't come to the bar until a few days ago, and he couldn't be contacted by any means. I went to his school to find him, but they said he had graduated a long time ago, and the classmates in the school actually I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know his situation at all. I went to many places we have been to before, and asked friends outside to ask around, but there is no news at all. Now I suddenly feel that I can't live without He, I underestimated the importance of Xiaoqi in my heart. Ziyan, I just want to find him, I want to tell him that I actually love him...I..."

Ah Xuan choked up so much at the end, he lowered his head in pain and covered his face with his hands.Ge Ziyan couldn't see the expression under those hands clearly, but he knew that those eyes must be shedding tears of regret at the moment, but... what's the use of regretting now! !

"Ziyan, don't worry about getting angry. Can you think about where we can go to find it? It won't help to blame Axuan now. Besides, Axuan is also in pain now. He has been in pain for several days. Not much rest."

Xue Kai comforted Ge Ziyan who was angry.In fact, he didn't agree with Axuan's way of dealing with Xiaoqi's relationship before, but he knows the character of Axuan best. Unless Axuan is voluntary, no one can force him to do anything, especially in the relationship. This kind of thing, to Ah Xuan, is the concept of a tree and a forest, and at that time, what Ah Xuan was nostalgic for was not the tree but the forest.

"I really can't figure it out. Although Xiaoqi and I have been together all the time, both of us are penniless people. We are already satisfied with our own food and clothing. How can we greedily think about other things?" Besides, Xiao Qi's favorite place to stay at that time was this bar!" After speaking, Ge Ziyan glared at A Xuan bitterly.

When everyone was at a loss, "Dinglingling—" Ge Ziyan's cell phone rang.

Ziyan took the phone and looked at the caller ID on it, it was an unfamiliar foreign number.

"Hi, hello. Who is it?" Looking at everyone, Ziyan answered the phone with some doubts.

"Hello, this is Bian City Public Security Bureau. May I ask if you recognize a man named Lin Yu?"

"Biancheng Public Security Bureau? I have a friend named Lin Yu. What's the matter?" Ziyan suddenly felt a strong ominous feeling in his heart, and his voice trembled a little.

"That's right, there was a car accident here yesterday. We found the wallet and mobile phone from the victim when we were sorting out the scene. The ID card in the wallet is named Lin Yu, and your mobile phone number was also found from the mobile phone at the scene. En ...It should be said that only your number is stored in his mobile phone, can you tell his family to come and identify the body?"

"Crack!" The phone fell from Ge Ziyan's hand, Ziyan shook his head in disbelief, his face turned pale immediately,

"No...impossible...no, they must have made a mistake! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !And Xiaoqi just ran away, they just found him, how could he die?Unable to accept the sudden bad news for a while, Ge Ziyan, whose thoughts were in disarray, screamed hysterically, and fell limp on the ground while clutching his hair.He couldn't believe what he said on the phone just now, there must be something wrong, but...it was a call from the Public Security Bureau... He stared at the phone desperately, but his eyes couldn't control it Big tears welling up...

"Ziyan! Ziyan! Don't be like this, we're rushing over now, maybe there's a mistake over there, you calm down first! Don't get excited, it must be a mistake!" Ling Tian saw that Ziyan's emotions were clearly out of control, A lunge rushed over to hug him to comfort him.To be honest, he was also shocked when he heard the news. He couldn't believe that Xiao Qi, who was alive a few days ago, would die. He is a very kind and likable boy!

"Xue Kai, don't do this, cheer up! Get ready and we'll set off right away. If we pass by now, we'll get there at around 11pm. We won't know anything until we confirm it with our own eyes!" Cen Liming picked up the quilt that Ziyan dropped just now mobile phone.The call just now was cut off by Ge Ziyan's fall. He called back to confirm with the other side, and planned the next thing decisively.Now the few people here, except themselves and Ling Tian, ​​can still handle things calmly, and the remaining three people who have lost their minds are already ashen-faced and in pain.Although Xue Kai usually likes to make troubles, he is actually a man with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart. He usually treats Xiao Qi and Zi Yan as his younger brothers. No matter who these two are, he will be the first to help them if there is something wrong. , Now when I hear this kind of news, I feel like I have lost my soul, let alone Ah Xuan, who has been standing there as if struck by lightning since just now, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and his hands clenched into fists to endure Feeling the pain in my heart, I just murmured repeatedly "I don't believe it, I must have made a mistake".

The five immediately got into Xue Kai's commercial vehicle and drove all the way to Biancheng. Ling Tian drove, Cen Liming sat in the co-pilot, and Ge Ziyan and the others sat behind.No one spoke a word along the way. Although the heater was turned on, there was a heavy dead silence in this small space, which was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Ling Tian drove very fast on the road and arrived at the Bian City Public Security Bureau an hour earlier than expected.Cen Liming had already greeted them here before they came here. As soon as they arrived, the staff of the case came out to receive them and took them directly to the forensic office of the police station.

"Are you here? Who are the family members of the deceased?" A forensic doctor wearing glasses asked, his tone of voice was not fluctuating at all, and he had no emotion.

"I'm sorry, Lin Yu is an orphan, we are his friends, but...we don't believe that such a thing will happen to him..." Xue Kai was a little choked up, and he thought a lot when he came all the way, although he also comforted himself that maybe it was He made a mistake, but as soon as he arrived at this place, the unbearable grief in his heart flooded out again involuntarily.

Cen Liming on the side embraced Xue Kai with his arms, calmed him down, and said to the staff member who accompanied them, "Can you show us the items you found about Lin Yu from the scene first?"

"can."

A brown leather tri-fold wallet was a gift from his son-in-law Lin Yu’s birthday last year, and an Apple mobile phone was won by Xue Kai as a lucky draw prize for the anniversary of the bar not long ago. He was very happy at the time Xiao Qi also specially invited his bar colleagues to sing at KTV all night.

When Ge Ziyan saw the wallet, he couldn't help but burst into tears, staggered over and grabbed the wallet tightly and said, "It's Xiao Qi's, it's Xiao Qi's..." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't stand anymore, the hand holding the wallet trembled violently, his face turned blue, and he fainted.Seeing this, Ling Tian was anxious, and immediately picked him up after the forensic doctor woke him up, and took him to the rest chair outside the office to prevent him from staying inside.

"Please take us to see people." After a moment of dead silence, A Xuan spoke.As soon as he arrived here, he was surprisingly calm, and he didn't lose control like Xue Kai and Ge Ziyan. It's just that he made Cen Liming and Ling Tian more worried. When we were looking for Xiaoqi in Nanzhou a few days ago, everyone saw that Ah Xuan searched everywhere day and night almost like crazy, but the abnormal calmness now made them a little uneasy.

The morgue was so dark that everyone shuddered when they entered.The forensic doctor on the side came to a freezer drawer and pulled it open, "The accident happened because the person was sitting in the passenger seat. Due to the high speed, the car collided with the cement tank truck in front with great force. At that time, half of the car rushed into the car. into the bottom of the tank truck, so the driver and the deceased are completely unrecognizable. If he had not had an ID card on him, it would be difficult for us to find his family members for a while. You must be mentally prepared."

A bloody, bloody face that could no longer be called a face appeared in front of everyone. The dense skull was exposed, red and white were mixed together, and the facial features could not be distinguished at all.Although everyone was prepared in their hearts, after seeing such a bloody and tragic scene, they couldn't avoid the horror in their hearts, and their faces showed horror. Looking at the deformed head that was squeezed, they all felt disgusting like earth-shaking. uncomfortable.

Ah Xuan was standing next to the freezer, when he saw the unrecognizable corpse under the white cloth, he trembled all over, resisting the pain of burning all inside, the muscles on his face seemed uncontrollable He was trembling, his teeth were biting his lower lip tightly, traces of blood slowly oozing out, the wings of his nose opened and closed rapidly, and his eyes, which had not had a good rest for several days, were covered with bloodshot eyes.The moment he saw the corpse, his eyes popped out suddenly, veins bulged all over his forehead, and his eyes were filled with tears.Axuan's Adam's apple jerked up and down rapidly for a while, and a suppressed "clack" sound came out from the depths of his throat, and he swallowed back the neigh that was about to collapse. He wiped his face vigorously, wiped away the tears on his face, stretched out With trembling hands, he took out a pair of men's rings from his pocket, lifted the cold hand stiffly but gently, wiped the blood that had dried up and couldn't be wiped off, and stroked it carefully. He said: "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, I'm late. No matter what you become, you will always be the most beautiful Xiao Qi. I never told you that I love you. Is it too late to tell you now? Will you be angry? Forgive my cowardice, I... understood too late. Xiaoqi, do you still remember that last year when you and I went shopping, you accidentally saw a men's ring? At that time, you said that when you get married I'm going to buy that ring as a wedding ring, and I brought the ring today, can I... can you bring it for me? I think you will like it very much. Isn't it?"

All the people present were already heartbroken, but after hearing Ah Xuan's belated confession, they felt even more heartbroken. Even the two people who accompanied him were so infected by this scene that their eyes were wet, while Xue Kai At this moment, he finally couldn't control himself anymore and fell on Cen Liming's shoulder and wept bitterly. Cen Liming silently stroked his back, his face was full of sadness.Ziyan who was outside heard Xue Kai's sudden burst of crying and understood everything. His mind was stunned, his eyes went dark, and he passed out again.Seeing this, Ling Tian was so anxious that he patted his face and pinched him, calling Ziyan's name repeatedly.After a while, Zi Yan Youyou woke up, and when he opened his eyes, the tears gushed out uncontrollably, and he collapsed on Ling Tian, ​​weeping uncontrollably.

Ah Xuan first put on a ring for himself, and then pinched that cold and stiff hand to put on another ring. Suddenly, his movements paused, his eyes lit up, and then he seemed to want to confirm something. That arm fumbled up and down, and after finding nothing, he pulled up the other hand and searched again. The expression on his face was sad and happy for a moment, which was indescribably complicated.

Among the few people present, only Cen Liming was still in a relatively calm mood. He had been watching all this, so when he saw Ah Xuan's strange expression, he guessed that something might be abnormal, and hurriedly asked: "Is it true?" What's wrong?!"

"Bracelet! There is no bracelet! Xiaoqi has a red bracelet on his left wrist all the time, and he never takes it off. But this person doesn't have it. Also, look, there is a small scar on this person's arm. Scars, you can’t see them unless you look closely, and Xiao Qi has no scars on his arms. This person is not Xiao Qi! Not Xiao Qi!...God! Thank you! Thank you! He covered his face and knelt down and cried bitterly.

Hearing this, Xue Kai, who was still in severe pain, also gave a meal, and then he didn't care to wipe away the tears all over his face, and rushed over, regardless of the foul smell and blood stains emanating from the corpse, Check the verification above.After verifying with his own eyes that the cold corpse in front of him was not Xiao Qi, he finally lay in Cen Liming's arms overwhelmed, crying and laughing, "Li Ming, that's great! It's really not Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is still alive ! Definitely still alive..."

Zi Yan and Ling Tian who were outside the door also heard the words inside, and they rushed in at the same time, Zi Yan wanted to go forward to check the body, but was stopped by Ling Tian, ​​"Zi Yan, trust Ah Xuan and Xue Kai. Such a serious matter They won’t make a mistake.” The corpse was too horrible to look at, Ling Tian couldn’t control himself and wanted to escape after just a glimpse, now that Ah Xuan and Xue Kai confirmed that this person is not Xiaoqi, there is no need Ask Ziyan to verify it again, and Ziyan's psychological endurance is far from that of everyone present.

Ah Xuan and Xue Kai on the side had calmed down a bit, and they both assured Ziyan that this person was not Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi's belongings happened to be on this person, which made it difficult for Xiao Qi to disappear. The anxious crowd directly mistook him for Xiaoqi.

The few people who were exhausted by the "identification of the corpse" temporarily bid farewell to the policeman of the Public Security Bureau, and planned to come back the next day to inquire about Xiao Qi. Now they believe that the deceased is not Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi His wallet and mobile phone were found on this person, which means that Xiaoqi must have encountered something, theft?Kidnap?These are all possible.Since this car accident happened in Biancheng, it means that Xiao Qi is likely to be in Biancheng.Cen Liming and Ling Tian decided to find a hotel near the Public Security Bureau to stay, and then search carefully here, maybe there will be definite news about Xiao Qi this time.
