He pulled out his office chair and sat down, lighting a cigarette as he said, "Shu Jing, our people have already checked out the internet cafes in the entire city. Last night, Li Fengyun, Xie Cong, and Yang Wenchao did not appear in any registered internet cafe, and your regular restaurants are all official internet cafes, so Yang Wenzhao's family probably does not care to go to the black internet cafe, so I speculate that after they left the three dormitories last night, they did not go to the internet cafe."

"Where do you think they might have gone? Tell me where you used to go. I'll send someone to check and see if we can find anything. This case is full of questions. Yang Wenchao died in unknown circumstances, Li Fengyun and Xie Cong disappeared without a trace. Your suspicions are not small, but if you think about it carefully, there are many aspects where it doesn't explain everything. Go back to the station and think carefully, think about what else you missed, and if you remember, immediately inform my colleague. "

After the boss gave his orders, he asked the two policemen to take me away. There were a lot of students gathered outside, including my classmates. Although I wasn't handcuffed, the two policemen held me on either side of them.

I'm the prime suspect.

After being taken to the police station, they locked me up in the holding cell and let me recall the details of the crime.

A day later, I was released, and my parents came to pick me up. They didn't say much, and they didn't ask me what had happened.

When we were leaving the police station, the leader came to find me and said, "My name is Xu Haoqing, I'm the person in charge of Yang Wenchao's case, if you think of anything, you can contact me at any time. Although I don't have strong evidence right now, I sincerely hope that you're not a murderer, you're still young, and your future path is very long, I know that you're very good, but if I find out that you were the culprit behind Yang Wenzhao, I guarantee that you'll be brought to justice."

I understood that there was no real evidence and I had to be released, but he would definitely continue to keep an eye on me. It didn't matter, he wasn't afraid of the shadow, I just thought that they would be able to devote more energy to investigating the real culprit, rather than trying to capture me and wasting their resources.

When we got home, my dad asked me, and I told my parents everything I knew, experienced, and speculated about. When they finished, they went to the other room and muttered for a while, as if they were having a fight.

I stayed at home for three days. Through the window, I could always see the people Xu had sent to keep an eye on me.

Within three days, my parents had called the local witch god to "treat" me.

They thought I was bewitched, or had run into a ghost.

I'm not sure if the things I've experienced can be explained from a scientific point of view, and I don't know if the person who spoke to me that night was actually Yang Wenchao, the fourth oldest student. What does the story of the water dispenser have to do with his death …

All sorts of strange and wonderful abilities were displayed in the process of the "doctor", but all of them were certain that they were possessed …

The police didn't call me again. I tried to call my eldest brother and second brother, but they never got through.

My father sent me back to school, leaving me alone in my dorm room. I didn't dare to stay there, so I asked the counselor if I could change rooms and live with Taozi and the others, but I was rejected. What was even more unexpected was that I was isolated by my classmates.

The students who were on good terms with each other normally didn't pay any attention to me. They stayed away from me, always whispering to each other, making me feel miserable. Even Taozi didn't dare speak to me. Perhaps in his eyes, I was bewitched.

I became a monster, I became a strange thing that was different from them. I heard them say that I could see the unclean things, I heard them say that I killed Yang Wenchao, and I also exterminated the Second Brother's corpse. I heard them say that I was killed by a ghost, and they said that the police couldn't do anything to me …

Every day was torturous, and my life was a mess. No one paid attention to me, no one listened to me, and my friends in high school also began to distance themselves from me. My relatives at home did not like me, so they always felt that I had seen a ghost …

I still slept in room 206, under a great deal of stress, and was often half asleep and half awake when I heard the voice of my fourth brother, who was talking about the water dispenser in his house, who asked me in his hoarse voice in his sleep, "What then?" I often dreamed that my eldest brother, my second brother, and my fourth brother were lying on their beds covered in blood, asking why I wanted to hurt them.

Actually, I didn't do anything.

After half a month of suffering, I broke down.

As if I had gone mad, I would tell others about my dream and tell them the story that Fourth Bro Yang Wenchao told me. They hid far away and I would knock on the doors of the other dormitories in the middle of the night, not daring to stay alone in the room 206.

In the end, I dropped out.

The school can't accommodate me, my classmates don't like me, my family doesn't understand me...

"..."

This disheveled man in front of me caused me to sink into deep memories …

He patted my shoulder and cleared his throat. "Shu Jing, don't you recognize me?"

Heh, how could he not recognize her.

It's been three years. That incident has already happened three years ago, and I still haven't forgotten about it. I've been thinking about it every day, thinking about those two people, eldest brother Li Fengyun and second brother Xie Cong …

The man with the disheveled appearance was dressed in rags, as if asking for food. His body was a little thin and his face was haggard, but I still remember his face.

He has a resounding name, Li Fengyun.

He was just like his name. Back in school, he was known to be unrivaled throughout our academy. Fighting against four or five strong men by himself, he felt no pressure at all.

He and Fourth Bro Yang Wenzhao were like iron rods. One of them was rich, the other was powerful. They were able to make a name for themselves in the school …

However, this slovenly man now was completely different from the Li Fengyun of the past.

His heroic spirit was gone. Because of his slovenly appearance, his proud muscles had become skin and bones, and his face had become deformed from malnutrition …

The famous and influential Li Fengyun from back then had already become a poor middle-aged man.

In three years time, he was only twenty-six years old.

Li Fengyun is the boss of our dorm, he's one year older than us. I'm 25 years old and looking at myself in the mirror, I feel that I've been through a lot. I didn't expect Li Fengyun to be even worse than me.

I want to know what he went through in these three years. I also want to know where he went when Yang Wenchao died three years ago.

"Boss, long time no see." I tried my best to suppress the waves in my heart as I spoke in a calm tone.

In these three years, I have already become someone else, not to mention Li Fengyun, the boss who was originally someone else. Maybe I never knew him.

Hearing my response, Li Fengyun casually grabbed a handful of messy hair. His dry lips cracked into a smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Third Brother, do you have a cigarette?"

I handed him a cigarette. Looking at my former boss, memories from a long time ago were about to burst out. However, I suppressed them. These three years have changed me so much that I might have forgotten what I looked like in the beginning.

Li Fengyun finished his cigarette and fiercely extinguished the cigarette butt. After which, I saw that his body was trembling slightly …

"Ol 'Three, it's only been three years since we last met. How the hell did you become like this?" His mood suddenly became agitated, and his voice started to tremble.

"Boss, everyone will change. Moreover, you don't know what I've experienced in the past three years …" How can I say that?

"Can you stop bullshitting with me? What about you who used to be so high-spirited and arrogant? What about you, the guy from before who wanted to fight me? Wasn't that awesome back then? Didn't you see that everyone was an idiot? How did you become like this? I scolded you but you remained indifferent. Quickly look in the mirror and see what's inside! "

I don't know why, but that day, Li Fengyun had a conflict with Tao Zi, and the big and burly Li Fengyun pushed Tao Zi a few steps away, and Tao Zi retreated a few steps. Li Fengyun wanted to continue bullying Tao Zi, but I saw him when he was brought back to the academy, and the two of them each gave a punch to Li Fengyun. Just when I was about to change to a more spacious area to practice with him, Yang Wenchao and Xie Wenchao pulled on him …

His emotions were getting increasingly agitated. All of his colleagues looked at him strangely, and the shop manager walked over and glanced at the disheveled Li Fengyun before glaring at me. He then said unhappily, "Shu Jing, are you still going to work? "What is this guy doing here? If you don't want to do it, then get out with this beggar!"

Just as I was about to explain, Li Fengyun's face darkened. He raised his huge fist and punched the shelf on the side fiercely. He glared at the shop manager and asked, "What did you say?"

The shop manager was shocked by Li Fengyun's actions and immediately said, "I didn't say anything …"

"You scolded my bro, but you can't scold me!" Li Fengyun continued to rage.

This sentence sounded so familiar … It felt like a lifetime had passed.

"..."

When they were in their second year of university, the four bros went out for a meal. The fourth brother, Yang Wenchao, invited everyone over and they drank a lot of wine.

At the next table, seven or eight hooligans were arrogantly drinking and started cursing. They called Yang Wenzhao a coward, Xie Cong a sissy, and said that I had a bad luck and that Li Fengyun was a gorilla.

"You scolded my bro, but you can't scold me!" With an angry roar, the two tables were engaged in a brawl.

With me and Li Fengyun's main fighting strength, the person facing me was beaten badly, we also suffered. Yang Wenchao lost a tooth, Li Fengyun got beaten up until his face was covered in blood, and my finger bones were almost broken. Only Xie Cong hid behind the boss and didn't fight anyone.

Generally speaking, our victory was so great that none of the people on the other side were able to stand up. As for us, we were led away by Li Fengyun …

It felt like a lifetime had passed …

However, at that time, the one who said, "You can scold my brother, but you can't scold me" was me.

Looking at Li Fengyun, who had just shouted out, huge waves rippled through my heart. Three years! I haven't seen him for three years, but he is still the oldest person in my memories, Li Fengyun!

The shop manager was frightened by Li Fengyun, so he smiled apologetically and retreated to the side. Li Fengyun looked at me, and I faintly noticed that his eyes were rolling with crystal liquid.

I don't know what he went through, but I do know he remembered the fight at the dinner party that night.

"Ol 'Three, that guy usually treats you like this too? Why didn't you do something to him? You are so smart, you have so many playthings, even the light and dark can play him to death, how can you allow him to insult you like this? Where's the ferocity in your eyes, why's it gone? How come your eyes don't glow? "Do you even remember who you are!? You're a pacifist! You're not the meek Xie Cong!"

A stone stirs up a thousand ripples, I am the pampered peace, not the submissive Xie Cong …

I wanted to open my heart and ask him where he had been for the past three years, but when I thought about those three years, I couldn't help but shiver.

I still can't do it, I still don't dare to take that step …

Li Fengyun's face was filled with disappointment, but I didn't know what to say.

You were the one who led the class skipping and playing cards in the dorm. You went over the wall and played games all night, and you were the one who led the way as well. The water bottle was filled with white wine, and they went back to the dorm and got drunk.

Li Fengyun's words were like a knife, one slash at a time, delaying the disguise I've learnt for the past three years …

The years of youth and recklessness have long passed, and now I have become an old and good person like Xie Cong, seeking nothing but success but nothing.

Innocent? Almost, even the sight of Yang Wenzhao's death, who disappeared for three years without a trace, created ripples in my heart that were far below my expectations.

Am I a cripple?

"Boss, you said that I've changed. That's right, I've changed. These three years, I've lived an ordinary life." As for you, it seems like you have also changed a lot. " I still hadn't asked the question that had troubled me for three years.

Li Fengyun nodded his head. He then took out another cigarette from my cigarette case and lit it up. "Ai, Shu Jing, I didn't expect you to be like this. Seeing your current appearance, do you know how I feel?"

"You found your mental balance?"

"No, it's grief. "The once proud son of heaven has now become a pile of mud. Sigh, I don't know how to start anymore. I thought that finding you would be of some help to what happened three years ago. But now, it seems like … forget it. You can busy yourself. I'll be going now."

Li Fengyun's emotions were no longer agitated. Rather, he hid his emotions, threw away his cigarette, and turned around to leave.

Looking at his leaving figure, I hesitated for a long time. Three years has changed everyone. I don't know how the sudden appearance of Li Fengyun's missing for three years has affected what happened three years ago.

I was very contradictory. On the one hand, I wanted to understand what happened three years ago. On the other hand, I was also afraid …
