Chapter 235 Specimen
Because every bad premonition like this before would eventually come true, Su Chengyi's mood has been difficult to calm down.
But he really didn’t expect that this time would come so quickly.
Su Chengyi was washing her hair when she received a call from Butler Han.
It was overwhelming to write the plan. The original idea was to wash my hair and change my brain.
The hot water brings not sobriety but an increasingly drowsy feeling.
It was at this time that the cell phone ringtone rang.
Butler Han's voice was extremely restrained and quiet, but the content of what he said made Su Chengyi instantly enlightened.
"Hello, classmate Su Chengyi, I am Housekeeper Han. Have you contacted or seen my lady in the last 24 hours?"
"."
The diffuse fog made people's eyes hazy, and Su Chengyi pushed open the bathroom door.
The cool air from the living room with the air conditioner on came in, and he took a deep breath.
“That’s right, we can’t contact her right now. If you have relevant information, please be sure to share it with us.”
“When was the last time you saw her? ”
Su Chengyi’s fingers holding the phone tightened, and his hair was still dripping with water, so he shook it casually.
Unexpectedly, he turned back to being a guest. Butler Han paused slightly, but still spoke in a very polite tone:
"I'm sorry, so you haven't contacted her, right?"
"When was the last time you saw her."
"Please answer our questions first and cooperate with us, okay?
It has been more than twenty-four hours since we lost contact. , the police have been involved in the investigation. If you don’t answer, it will make the investigation more difficult.”
"Ha."
Su Chengyi laughed suddenly.
Butler Han choked for a moment and didn't know whether to continue the threatening words that followed.
“You’re fucking talking about people.”
The young man on the other side of the phone had a bit of anger in his tone. It was hard to imagine that he was actually someone who could swear.
He was probably as anxious as he was.
It's just that he has ingrained in his bones the need to maintain restraint, politeness and calmness, and he rarely showed his emotions when it came to the lady's matter.
Butler Han was silent for a moment, and finally said:
"The surveillance at home did not record when the young lady left. She is very smart, and she knows where there are blind spots.
The last person who saw her was the pastry chef aunt. The lady told her that she wanted to eat strawberry cake tomorrow morning.
But early the next morning, the person was gone. "
While listening, Su Chengyi calculated the time in his mind.
After seeing Wei Peilan last time, he sent a message asking about Chu Qingmian's situation as soon as he got home.
< br>Her reply was very timely, and her personal freedom was probably not restricted, and her tone was the same as usual. She happily said that it was nothing serious.
She also said that her mother's reaction this time was not as serious as she imagined. By analogy, over time, she might be able to raise a puppy!
Before Chu Qingmian even wrote her horoscope, she was already thinking about what kind of breed she would raise in the future.
Alaska was cute when she was little, but she was too big and she was afraid that she would be run away by a dog.
Bian Mu is smart, but he also has his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
Chow Chows are too stupid and may bite their owners!
German Shepherd is handsome and loyal, but a bit too aloof
After Su Chengyi felt relieved, he put forward his own suggestion - beagle.
Sternly rejected by Miss Chu.
So what happened later that made her run away from home?
Su Chengyi asked the question to Butler Han.
The other party’s attitude was that he really didn’t know anything about it, and he said frankly:
"Classmate Su Chengyi, although I seem to be calm now, I am actually in a mess inside. If something happens to Miss, I will probably have to die to apologize.
So please, if there is any news, You must tell me.”
Before hanging up the call, Butler Han also said that Chu Yuanjiang is now on the plane back to China, and everyone has set off to look for it, but not yet. Any good news comes.
Su Chengyi poured herself a glass of ice water and forced herself to calm down first.
People should have already looked for places where Chu Qingmian likes to go on weekdays, such as shopping malls, libraries, and milk tea shops near schools.
He tried to call Chu Qingmian.
It must be impossible to get through.
But there are many reasons why the connection cannot be opened.
If it is not in the service area, it means that she went to a very remote place with no signal.
If the phone is turned off, the situation will be better, which means that she at least still has her mobile phone, but she just doesn't want to answer the phone.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later."
Airplane mode turned on? Or unplug the phone card.
Su Chengyi hung up the call, changed her shoes and went out.
Going downstairs in two steps, he made another phone call.
"Hello? Su Chengyi, do you know about Mianmian? Where has she gone? Nothing will happen to her?"
Han Bing picked up the call almost instantly, his voice full of panic. Apparently he had just been told the news by Butler Han.
"I don't know. When was the last time you contacted her?"
Su Chengyi raised her hand and stopped a taxi.
“Yesterday morning, I took a picture of my breakfast and showed it to her, and she sent a voice message saying it looked delicious.
I’ll send it to her after I finish eating Otherwise, she didn’t reply, and I didn’t think much about it at the time.”
"Record the voice note and let me listen to it."
While Su Chengyi opened the car door and sat in, Han Bing quickly sent the screen recording.
Su Chengyi put the receiver close to his ear and turned up the volume slightly.
"Wow~ It looks delicious!"
It was a normal tone, she should be normal at this time.
Su Chengyi played a three-second voice message several times.
Finally, he caught an inconspicuous background sound that attracted his attention. "Clang" was the sound of the iron door being locked.
When she sent this voice message, she happened to go out.
I left the house around nine o'clock the day before yesterday, but I still returned home normally. In the evening, I even talked with the pastry chef aunt about what I wanted to eat tomorrow morning.
He disappeared yesterday morning.
Something is wrong.
Su Chengyi frowned. The problem must have been with what happened during her trip out.
“Young man, are you leaving or not?”
The master in the driver’s seat waited for a long time and finally lost his patience.
Su Chengyi realized that she had been sitting in his car for a while.
"Sorry, Qingjiang Crossing."
In fact, the closer the distance, the stronger the uneasy feeling in my heart.
Su Chengyi walked for a while with his head down, and only raised his head when he saw the familiar mottled courtyard wall.
Nothing has changed.
The toys in the kennel are placed one after another, the ice pad is clean, and the porcelain bowls are full of dog food and water.
But the dog is missing.
The mat he bought and spread on the ground was also missing.
Heavy iron chains were tangled together and piled aside.
Su Chengyi's footsteps stopped in place, but his eyes turned to the side, unable to bear to look any further.
With the last trace of luck, he walked to the security booth on the other side. But before he could speak, the security guard who was not dozing took the initiative to say:
"Let's ask about that dog, right? It died the day before yesterday and was buried yesterday. It's summer and attracts bugs."
"."
The security guard's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about today No matter what I had for lunch, it didn’t matter.
Indeed, as far as he knew, dogs were just fed to visit homes and nursing homes, not companion dogs. What a big deal if they died. Understandably, Su Chengyi nodded.
But Chu Qingmian didn't think so.
So the reason why she ran away from home was found.
"How did it die? So suddenly."
Su Chengyi put his hands in his pockets and asked as if out of pure curiosity.
“Hey, I’m old, I’ve had this dog for seven or eight years. It looks like nothing is wrong, maybe it’s been sick a long time ago.
However, I heard that this dog's lifespan is short to begin with, so it can be considered to be the end of its life. ”
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
I just went to the hospital a few days ago, and suddenly "died".
Su Chengyi turned on the phone and took the initiative Called Butler Han.
“Hello? Any news? ”
He asked nervously as soon as the call was connected.
"I suggest you ask your wife what she did."
Su Chengyi spoke with a cool voice.
“What do you mean?”
Butler Han seemed a little confused and completely unaware.
"."
Before Su Chengyi could speak, there was a sudden sound on the phone. Butler Han vaguely heard "Okay", and then a female voice rang in his ear:
"Tell me, what did I do?"
"Your daughter has been missing for twenty-four hours, and you sound very relaxed and at ease."
Su Chengyi's tone was calm.
"So where do you stand, and what right do you have to accuse me of my faults?"
Wei Peilan sneered and said.
Su Chengyi remained calm.
“Out of humanitarianism, standing at the bottom line of morality, and having basic humanity.”
Steward Han, who was standing aside and listening, was obviously anxious and did not want the two people to quarrel. Interjected:
"Madam, Miss has a good relationship with him, maybe he can help find Miss."
Wei Peilan glanced at her, and he immediately fell silent, knowing that he had broken the rules.
“You are very interesting.”
She paused and her tone became very determined:
“Qingmian is my daughter, I know she won’t What kind of extreme behavior would you do for such a thing?
She knows how much she is worth.
What is such a blow? There are many more difficult blows in life, and she will always have to face them by herself. "
"Such a blow? So your existence is just to create blows and setbacks for her, so that her life will not be so smooth? "
Su Chengyi's eyes darkened completely, and the security guard standing opposite him suddenly felt a chill on his back and shivered.
I don't know what happened to this young man who was so polite just now. Something happened suddenly.
"Ask Gao Qiangsheng to bring him over."
Wei Peilan threw the phone on the table with a loud "clang".
Almost as soon as the phone was hung up, the black Maybach parked quietly next to it.
So Wei Peilan always asked Uncle Gao to watch around here.
Maybe you think Chu Qingmian will come back here?
Su Chengyi didn't hesitate, opened the door and got in the car.
Uncle Gao's expression was very serious, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.
"Is there any news so far?"
If there is anyone in the Chu family who is worthy of trust, it is Uncle Gao.
So Su Chengyi didn't make any pretense, leaned back on the chair and sighed heavily.
"No."
Uncle Gao concluded briefly and comprehensively.
“Have you searched all the places you should look for?”
“Yes. I have searched twice.”
“Where is the surveillance?”
"Still checking."
Su Chengyi raised his hand and pressed the corners of his eyes.
If scientific and technological means are not effective, the only way is to use reasoning.
Now that we know that the cause of the matter was Xiaohua's sudden death, it seems that we can focus on this matter.
But Uncle Gao has been standing nearby. I am afraid that the place where Xiaohua was buried and the nearby courtyard have been searched.
Maybe we can find some clues by going to her house.
At this moment, Su Chengyi suddenly realized how little he knew about Chu Qingmian.
I don’t know where she likes to go, what she likes to do, and what she has to do to survive so many days and nights when she stays alone in such a large manor.
When he got off the car, Butler Han ran over quickly.
Su Chengyi glanced at him. His usually meticulous suit and tie were crooked, and the hem of his shirt was exposed.
The whole person looked very decadent.
"Madam is waiting for you in the basement."
Basement?
Are you trying to silence someone?
Although it sounded like Hongmen Banquet, Su Chengyi did not hesitate and followed Butler Han to the elevator.
According to the rules, Uncle Gao behind him shouldn't follow.
But he hesitated and didn't stop.
Butler Han gave him a confused look, but finally didn't bother to stop him and allowed him to follow him.
Going down to the second underground floor, you will see many glass cabinets.
Walking along the way, there are many antique collections on display, which are dazzling and dizzying, a bit like entering a museum by mistake.
Su Chengyi is actually very interested in these things. If it were not at this point, he might not be able to help but stop and admire it.
But now he didn't look away, he just walked straight forward.
Wee Peilan's back appeared at the third corner. She stood in the far corner, looking up at something placed in the glass cabinet.
About ten meters away, Butler Han stopped and grabbed Uncle Gao, who was walking forward.
“Please.”
He gestured.
So Su Chengyi walked over alone.
Wei Peilan caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, but did not turn around, still looking at the cabinet intently.
So Su Chengyi followed her eyes and looked over.
What is placed in the glass cabinet is a dog?
Su Chengyi's pupils dilated for a moment, and he was a little unsure for a moment.
He has always been calm and calm, but when he saw such an object, he was still a little frightened.
It's a Samoyed. It looks very young. Even through the glass cabinet, you can imagine its furry touch.
Is it a simulation toy? It's a little too realistic.
Su Chengyi remained silent and did not speak.
Wei Peilan seemed to suddenly realize his presence and turned around with a smile.
"How is this specimen done? Ten years later, it still looks so perfect."
Su Chengyi couldn't help but take a step back, suppressing the urge to vomit.
