Chapter 45: Bing's Clues
Bing s matter ....... Zhang Yuanqing was delighted in his heart and said:
"Any results from the Hangzhou branch side? Did you find out anything."
The efficiency of his colleagues in the Hangzhou branch was too poor, it took three days for the results to come out, it was obvious that they didn't pay attention to Bing's missing case ...... He complained in his heart.
Bing had been missing for almost half a month, if the Spirit Realm Walkers from the Hangzhou branch, had investigated dutifully, then they should have been able to give feedback when Li Dongze commissioned them, giving enough information.
Obviously, they thought that Bing's death in the Spirit Realm was meaningless to investigate.
"I did find out something ......." Li Dongze phrased his words for a moment and said:
"Lei Yibing's interpersonal relationships were relatively simple, he was withdrawn and solitary, not close to his classmates. He kept a low profile in school and never caused any trouble, but after colleagues from the Hangzhou branch investigated deeply, they found that in the past three years, two people who had messed with him had died in some reasonable manner."
Zhang Yuanqing's brows furrowed as he listened, and when Li Dongze finished, he immediately retorted:
"No, Bing is not a person who can talk about eight-sidedness, but he is by no means aloof, and his actions are not related to low-profile, I grew up with him as a child, and I'm too familiar with him, he's a person who, when his temper comes up, he doesn't even bother to say 'what are you looking at', and he goes straight to work."
As for Bing's suspected murderous behavior, not knowing the details, he does not refute or evaluate.
"You're talking about the Fire Master here, right ......" Li Dongze couldn't help but spit and coughed, pulling back the topic, "So, the Lei Yibing in your mouth is different from the Lei Yibing the students remember, who do you think went wrong."
Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, "Perhaps, it was Bing who went wrong."
Li Dongze let out a 'hmm' in agreement, analyzing:
"You and he went to the same school in high school, it's impossible for you not to feel it if he has an abnormality. In other words, Lei Yibing's changes started when he went to college.
"During the time between high school graduation and the start of college, something must have happened to him to cause a drastic change in temperament. But there are too many factors involved, and there is no way to speculate without more clues."
Zhang Yuanqing recognized Li Dongze's statement, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out, with the friendship between himself and Bing as close as brothers, it was surprising that Bing didn't even tell him after he became a Spirit Realm Walker.
The Spirit Realm didn't have a wiping mechanism, and if you were willing, you could even take a loudspeaker and travel around the world to publicize the Spirit Realm.
Although no one would believe it...
"Is there more?"
"There is, but I don't know if it counts ......" Li Dongze pondered for a moment before saying, "Does Lei Yibing have the habit of keeping a diary."
"Which serious person writes a diary these days."
"A colleague from Hangzhou found the diary in his dormitory, he didn't write in it very often, but before he disappeared, the night before he sent you the character card, he wrote a diary entry."
"Where is his journal?"
"The diary is in his university dormitory, the colleagues of the Hangzhou branch inspected it and found the diary to be of no value, but at my request, they took pictures, which I am sending to you now." Li Dongze said:
"If I remember correctly, tomorrow will be the fourteenth day since you came out of the 'She Spirit Tunnel'."
"Hmm!"
Tomorrow was the deadline, either enter the Spirit Realm tonight or tomorrow.
"There will be a short buffer time when the Spirit Realm opens, so remember to call and report back to me, or call Guanya."
"Got it."
As the two ended their call, Zhang Yuanqing tapped on the chat software and received a compressed package from Li Dongze.
After decompressing it, he got three dozen pictures.
Zhang Yuanqing sat at his desk and read the diary, Bing really didn't write his diary very often, sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly, and what he wrote were all trivial matters.
Zhang Yuanqing read it carefully at first, and when he confirmed that the previous diary was of little value, he directly flipped to the last picture.
"The second half of the year is going to be an internship, time flies, without realizing it, will say goodbye to the university career and step into the society. Last night's dream, remembered with Yuanzi in the alley childhood, remembered and he secretly flipped through the forbidden books, remembered and he pitted my father, pitted his uncle pocket money of the past, remembered and he played with him ..... games."
The content was brief, a few sentences.
Zhang Yuanqing gazed deeply at the cell phone screen, suddenly leaned toward the back of the chair and closed his eyes.
Bing really left me a clue!
.........
The next day, Zhang Yuanqing woke up with a start, and the time was 9:30 in the morning.
"It seems like the time to enter the Spirit Realm is today ....."
He ate breakfast, put on his mask and duck-tongued cap, and took a taxi to Lei Yibing's home.
The lane where he lived as a child was called Yinping District, built half a century ago, each residential building coalesced with the mottled patina of age, the buildings were uniformly six-storey, there was no elevator, and messy cables were wrapped around the walls one after another.
Zhang Yuanqing got out of the cab, a casual sweep, more than ten years, in addition to the exterior walls brushed with new paint, the cell entrance to add a guard post.
The others have not changed at all.
When he was in junior high school, this area is rumored to be demolished, we wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait for almost ten years, the shadow of the demolition team can not be seen.
Zhang Yuanqing crossed the street and bought a bag of loquats, a pineapple, and three Kettle Mans at the fruit store across the street.
Along the cramped hallway, he stopped in front of the door of No. 402 and rang the doorbell.
In a few moments, footsteps came from the door, the security door opened, and a woman in her forties stood in the doorway, startled:
"Yuanzi?"
Her complexion was a bit poor, with heavy dark circles under her eyes and a thin face.
"Aunt Zhou, I came over to see you and Uncle Lei." Zhang Yuanqing said in a good-natured tone, silently sighing in his heart.
Aunt Zhou's gaze fell on the fruits he was carrying in his hand, revealing a pleased smile as she said softly:
"Come in."
The house was a two-room, one-bedroom layout, over eighty square meters, and Zhang Yuanqing sat on the sofa in the living room, holding the warm water that Aunt Zhou had poured, and listening to her darkly sad story.
"Aunt Zhou, I believe that the Security Department will find Bing." Zhang Yuanqing comforted.
"Your grandmother came to visit me a few days ago, and she said that Old Chen told her that the lack of news was not yet good news." Aunt Zhou sighed as she continued:
"Stay for lunch at noon."
"No need, I have class later." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.
He was inseparable from Bing when he was a child and often slept together at night, and it was even more usual for them to dabble in each other's meals, but today, he would be entering the Spirit Realm at any time, so he tried to shorten his time outside as much as possible.
"Auntie Zhou, I'll go to Bing's room for a while."
Zhang Yuanqing didn't forget his purpose for being here.
He pushed open the door to Bing's bedroom, and the not-so-big room was furnished with a double bed, closet, desk, and television set ....... His eyes quickly skimmed through the room and finally pulled out a large cardboard box from under the bed.
The carton is a hodgepodge of things, Ze Wang game machine, Tyrannosaurus Rex machine, thunderbolt ball, yo-yo, binoculars, Water Margin Heroes card, wooden gyroscope, pull the whistle, the seven dragon ball comic book, sui yangdi Yan Shi author Qi move savage .......
Every little toy here has its story, such as binoculars, when the neighborhood has a red light district, nightfall, hair salon will be lit up with disorienting lights, dressed in enchanting aunts will be sitting on the store's sofa, through the glass door can see their delicate curves.
Once, still in elementary school, Bing quietly approached him, said he saw Zhang Yuanqing's uncle, sneaked into the hair salon.
Zhang Yuanqing do not believe, bored to find uncle, uncle heard a shock, gave him twenty dollars as hush money.
Afterwards, Zhang Yuanqing and Bing licked popsicles while thinking that this business is good.
So the two cubs after school in the roadside squatting whistle, this time did not squat to uncle, squatted to Bing's old father.
The old father was shocked and gave them a dozen dollars to keep quiet.
Then later, the old father and uncle reformed, never caught, until one day, Zhang Yuanqing stole the sister-in-law's pocket money to buy binoculars, in the distance and secretly observe.
Then he earned hush money again.
So, the box is sealed with Bing's childhood, and also sealed with Zhang Yuanqing's childhood.
He stared blankly at his childhood toys, only to feel that the years are in a hurry, things are different.
What is the blind emotion, not yet to the age of remembering the past ....... He laughed to himself and pressed back the past events that came to his mind.
Then, he picked up the history of Emperor Yang, shaking the pages of the book.
In the "clattering" sound of turning the book over, a slip of paper fell out, on which there were two strings of numbers written densely.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing slowly let out a breath, sort of putting down the big stone in his heart.
The numbers on the note were a code that only the two brothers could understand.
Influenced by the grandfather, Zhang Yuanqing as a child is very obsessed with police movies, detective cartoons, novels, fantasizing that he is a powerful vigilante.
Secondary school, once he and Bing together to read a well-known foreign detective novels, from one of the cases to get inspiration, that the great detective Zhang Yuanqing and his assistant Bing, how can there be no secret code between it.
So consumed energy to study a set of password format.
For example, the first number corresponds to the number of lines, the second still corresponds to the number of lines, the third corresponds to the number of pages, the number of words in a group of seven, and the format of the second group of numbers is the inversion of the first group ......
And the first time they played this game, the blueprint they used was Emperor Yang's Erotic History of Sui Yang.
Zhang Yuanqing recalled the password format while comparing it to the book, time passed slowly, I don't know how long it took, he finally pieced together everything.
The first line of numbers: land two two zero three; one world person two brothers The second line of numbers: yuanzi, find it, I left everything there.
