Chapter 2 002. Disappearance
Putting the burning cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray at hand, he hastily tidied up the arrangement on the desk, patted his face, and then Li Meng stood up and went to the door. Get ready to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, a figure rushed into the office quickly, while still posing in a strange pose.
Li Dang seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He glanced outside the door and tried to keep himself away from the sun as much as possible. When he found that there were no other guests, he closed the door directly.
The room fell into darkness again.
"Here?" Li Ming pursed his lips and said softly, "The fees for this commission have been placed on the table. Go get it yourself." When he said this, Li Ming's voice was very soft and slow, as if I was thinking something in my mind, "Well, tell me about the valuable things you investigated."
"Eh? Li Ming, you are still the same as before. I traveled thousands of miles to come to you and you didn't even give me a sip of water, and you still want me to tell you this!"
Come here! The person seems to be about the same age as Li Ming, but when he talks, he always makes people feel a little childish?
Seeing Li Dang spread his hands towards him, the young man curled his lips, and then as if he regarded this place as his own home, he turned on the light unceremoniously, and then placed the coffee cabinet on the side of the door that Li Dang regarded as a decoration. Find coffee beans and coffee machine.
"What, you don't even use this coffee machine! It's useless for me to go to the market to buy it for you as a birthday gift for so long. I didn't expect you to let down my kindness so much!"
< br>
When he saw that Li Ming was still about to say something, the young man immediately stretched out his hand, facing Li Ming with his palm, and stopped Li Ming's next behavior.
"Forget it, you have already said so much. I don't want you to trigger that "NG" just because I come to you. You should still use the way you always talk to your client. Talk to me. "
"Then you didn't read it carefully when I wrote it."
Li Ming shook his head helplessly, returned to where he was sitting just now, and took out the drawer. A piece of white paper, on which a few words were written randomly with a pencil, and then shown to the young man.
As if he was deliberately trying to piss off Li Ming, the young man squinted his eyes while drinking coffee, looking contented.
"What kind of writing are you writing? It's so messed up. I wonder if you have been in Japan for so long that you don't even recognize your native language -"
The last sound was a scream, because Li Ming had already written it. The white paper was crumpled into a ball and thrown towards the young man.
After finally eating, drinking, and playing around, the young man tidied up his clothes, leaned against the table and picked up the envelope that Li Ming had prepared. He glanced inside casually and then put it in. Pocket it.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. Now let me talk about the news I got from running around outside in the past week."
When the young man said this, he paused for a while, as if he was waiting. What are you looking at?
Li Ming reacted immediately when he saw this, and took out a slightly thick notebook with a lot of sticky notes from the last drawer on the side of the desk.
Turn to the page marked "January 11th", hold the pencil in the pen holder on the side of the desk in your hand, and wait for the young man's next words with a calm expression.
"First of all, I found some clues about this disappearance case. Unfortunately, the police discovered it early and the case can be closed."
The young man spread his hands and looked helpless. expression.
“But Li Ming, don’t be discouraged. There are many people in Japan who commission investigations from multiple aspects, and few people will only put their hope in one person.”
"However, this is only on the surface." The young man paused, took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, and handed it to Li Ming.
"Is this...?"
Li Ming didn't make a sound. After he saw the words on the white paper, he took a deep breath.
“It’s very familiar, it’s the medical record notice of patients with White Night Syndrome.” The young man hummed, “I spent a lot of effort to find this in the missing person’s home. Look through that notebook of yours. Let’s break down how many disappearance cases the protagonists are sufferers of White Night Syndrome?”
“So, everyone who suffers from White Night Syndrome will end up dead or missing?”
Li Ming wrote his thoughts on a piece of white paper and showed it to the young man. Although he had made incomprehensible jokes before, the young man still read it carefully.
"That's not the case. I think, don't you think patients like us are still living well?" The young man put his hand on his chin as if thinking.
"That's because we haven't done anything to make the hospital notice it yet."
"That's it, we haven't noticed it yet! That's it, we haven't noticed it yet? That's it. Haven't you noticed yet?" The young man repeated these words in an exaggerated tone.
“We have already gone to the patient’s home to look for clues related to the hospital, and we still haven’t noticed it? So, how big of an incident must it take for them to notice it? Isn’t it the case? Kill the hospital staff!”
The young man fantasized and speculated while sighing. He glanced at Li Ming who was still writing something, put his head close to the white paper in front of him.
“What are you writing about?”
“Well, I found a very interesting fact. Do you remember the progress ranking list announced by the hospital before? Basically every day In the update, I mean, first place."
" So the question is, where did those patients who originally occupied the first place go? "
"But according to the hospital's instructions, those patients who have realized their wishes are basically cured, so they are not. No longer qualified to stay on the ranking list," the young man retorted.
Li Dang gave a "scoff" to show disdain and continued to write, "Jiang Wenkan, I see you, your mind has been blinded by the hospital again. Do you still remember what the notice we received said?"
< br>"Is this the sentence 'Although there is currently no treatment plan for this disease in China'?" The young man named Jiang Wenkan came back to his senses, "So that means that White Night Syndrome is an incurable disease."
"Eh? That's really strange. Where have they gone?" Jiang Wenkan muttered to himself, looking puzzled.
Li Dang snorted softly and took out another piece of white paper from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Wenkan.
"This is the name of the protagonist of all the missing cases that I have recorded in the past three years from the time I took the case to now. Please help me investigate their final endings. Are they dead or real? The world has evaporated."
"Hey, you old boy can do it. I've been friends with you for so long. I didn't expect you to have sorted out all this information." Jiang Wenkan took the piece of paper, "But it will take a week to investigate. These things are obviously not enough, it will take at least a month.”
When the exchange between the two reached the key point, there was another knock on the door——
Yes Unexpected visitors.
"Is Mr. Li Ming here? We are from the Chiba Prefecture Police Department. We would like to discuss some questions with you about Mr. Taketa Mashiba."
"Please Be sure to open the door, otherwise we will take extraordinary measures, thank you for your cooperation. ”
