Chapter 1664 Suspect

Liu Xing recalled it carefully, and then said: "Liu Tingting's parents have always been working in other places, so Liu Tingting has been raised by her grandparents since she was a child, and Liu Tingting also has a brother who is five or six years older than her, but she Her brother went to work with his parents right after graduating from high school, so Liu Tingting has always been left alone and has basically not received much discipline from her family. She ran away from home several times before she transferred to our school."

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Tian Qing said in surprise.

Liu Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, it's normal that you don't know about this matter, because I also heard about it from my parents. Later, it was because of Liu Tingting that she often ran away from home in her hometown school. , didn’t listen to her grandparents, so her parents sent her to our school, because Liu Tingting’s parents were working near the school at that time, so they could have time to look after Liu Tingting; in fact, I saw Liu Tingting at that time I haven’t seen her for many years, after all, I haven’t been back to my hometown much since my grandpa passed away.”

"After all, we are also old neighbors, so I tried to contact Liu Tingting at that time. However, because Liu Tingting was in the rebellious stage at that time, I stopped provoking her after hitting a wall a few times. But I was very worried. I clearly remember that when we graduated, Liu Tingting never ran away from home again, so of course there was no such thing as missing. However, if I remember correctly, it was during the Spring Festival two years ago that I went back to my hometown to give my wife a gift. A public monument, because you also know that the custom in my hometown is that it takes ten years after a person leaves before the official monument can be erected. Before, I used a stone as a token of appreciation."

"After I returned to my hometown, I heard my parents mention that Liu Tingting eloped with her boyfriend after a fight with her parents. Since then, there has been no news. I only know that they must have gone to work in coastal areas. After all, She and her boyfriend both have high school diplomas. There are no good jobs these days except working in factories to make screws. Of course, if you are lucky, you can also become an Internet celebrity; in short, Liu Tingting is indeed missing now, but she is missing The time was not before we graduated, and technically speaking, she was not missing because everyone knew that she had eloped with her boyfriend."

After listening to Liu Xing's words, Tian Qing nodded and said: "It seems that the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall has changed what happened in the past, because it was mentioned in my circle of friends that Liu Tingting was a week before graduation. She disappeared about a week ago. At that time, the school allowed students to take leave and go home to prepare for exams with their parents' consent, so Liu Tingting went home. However, the day after she returned home, her parents informed the school that she did not know where she had gone. Went, and it was finally confirmed that Liu Tingting sneaked out of the community alone after her parents went to work and disappeared."

"At the beginning, everyone thought Liu Tingting might have gone out to play. After all, her grades at that time were always in the bottom ten of the class, so everyone knew that she took leave to go home to prepare for the exam just so she could play for a few more days. At that time, the school found a few students who had a good relationship with Liu Tingting to chat. As a result, they did not know Liu Tingting's whereabouts. However, although Liu Tingting's parents could not get through her phone at that time, Liu Tingting would still call her after a while. Reply a message, but the content is just like, um, I understand."

"As a result, two days passed like this, and Liu Tingting's whereabouts were still unknown. Then after calling the surrounding surveillance cameras, I found that after Liu Tingting left home, she went to the station to buy a ticket to go back to your hometown on the same day, but Liu Tingting finally She did not take this car, but disappeared suddenly after leaving the station; according to the coverage of nearby surveillance cameras, Liu Tingting could only be in the blind spots of several surveillance cameras in addition to entering a few nearby buildings. Get in a car and leave, and this is almost impossible, because those residential buildings all have unit doors, which are usually closed, and the residents in these buildings can also determine and Liu Tingting has no contact."

"Huh? Why does this plot feel so familiar to me?"

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with some confusion: "This is a common routine in some detective dramas, where someone suddenly disappears in a small blind spot, and the result is basically related to the vehicle. Of course, it may also be It disappears after entering a certain street shop, but the latter can be eliminated directly, because I remember that the station is always very lively, and the shops that can be entered along the street are various noodle restaurants, or Internet cafes. Well, it seems that Liu Tingting was relatively short, and she was also dressed quite rebelliously at that time, so passers-by or store owners should have an impression when they see her."

"Liu Xing, you are right. After the investigation, many people mentioned that they had seen Liu Tingting, and they still remembered that Liu Tingting seemed to be quite anxious at the time. I took out my mobile phone and looked at it several times, but none of these witnesses saw Liu Tingting entering a shop along the street, or getting into a taxi. By the way, the content I am talking about now is all reposted from other students’ Moments. This person specially collected relevant information and analyzed it afterward, but because I didn’t note her name at the time, I don’t know who she is now.”

"Regarding this paragraph, the result of this person's analysis is that Liu Tingting may have gone out in a hurry, so the phone may have run out of battery. Moreover, it took three hours to take the shuttle bus from Rongcheng back to Liu Xing's hometown. If I remember correctly, it took three hours. Or so? In addition, the batteries of smartphones at that time were small and consumed quickly, and the charging socket was not compatible with the mainstream feature phones at the time, so Liu Tingting wanted to find someone to borrow a mobile phone charger and charge it before getting in the car. Charge it for a while, so you don’t have to worry about your phone running out of battery on the way, so you can have fun in the car or contact others.”

"Smartphone? Yes, I remember that Liu Tingting was indeed one of the first people to buy a smartphone at that time. The brand seems to be quite good." Liu Xing nodded.

"So if Liu Tingting wanted to borrow a mobile phone charger, it would have been quite troublesome, because the owners of the shops along the street were basically middle-aged and elderly people, so they should have been using feature phones or landline phones, and if they were If you want to buy a charger, the nearby mobile phone store did not capture Liu Tingting entering. Therefore, many people think that Liu Tingting may not be in a hurry to charge her mobile phone, but received the message again after buying the ticket. She was told to go somewhere as quickly as possible, so she came out and took a taxi? Or was it a wild boar?"

The wild boar in Tian Qing's mouth is also the joking name for black taxis in Rongcheng.

"I think we should have taken a Wild Boar. After all, it is cheaper to go back to the county town, while a taxi without clocking in will cost several hundred."

Speaking of this, Liu Xing saw a small truck unloading goods on the roadside, and the unloaded items were mahjong machines, and there happened to be a teahouse next to it with many flower baskets outside.

"Teahouses are really blooming everywhere in Chengdu. You can open one no matter where you are. I remember the ones outside our school have been open for decades. You can see them every time when I come out from school. Many parents play mahjong." Tian Qing sighed.

"Yes, as long as the owner of a teahouse in Chengdu has good connections, he can basically make a profit without losing money. Moreover, the teahouses in my impression are all grown up after seeing them since I was young, so..."

Halfway through his words, Liu Xing suddenly thought of something, "Wait a minute, Tian Qing, you should remember that the teahouse where Uncle He Rong came is next to the station, right? That teahouse has always been the favorite of our class. A good place for students, because He Rong's uncle would give us a lot of discounts at that time, so I remember that in addition to those of us who have a good relationship with He Rong, there are also some students who like to play mahjong there. Among them, there should be Including Liu Tingting, because I heard that Liu Tingting was very good at playing mahjong, and she basically won more and lost less."

"I know this. Liu Tingting started to mess around after she transferred to another school. She even brought a thumb-sized mahjong to school. So Liu Xing, what you are saying is that Liu Tingting went to the teahouse run by Uncle He Rong to borrow a charger. A weapon?" Tian Qing said in surprise.

Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, if Liu Tingting was going to borrow a charger at that time, then she would most likely choose to go to the teahouse opened by Uncle He Rong, because I can be sure that He Rong's My uncle was the first person in my memory to use a smartphone. He even showed us how powerful the smartphone was at that time, so I am sure that Liu Tingting knew that He Rong’s uncle had a charger for smartphones, and that He Rong Uncle’s teahouse is right next to the station.”

Speaking of this, Liu Xing recalled the location of the teahouse carefully, "The teahouse is located on the second floor facing the street, so if you want to go up, you have to take a staircase that can only accommodate two or three people. In the eyes of passers-by, It was like a person going home normally, so passers-by would not pay too much attention to Liu Tingting; more importantly, the teahouse was next to the station, and below it were several rows of noodle restaurants, so these shops were There should be no surveillance cameras at the entrance, so the teahouse is located in a blind spot, so it’s normal that it can’t be photographed.”

"Liu Xing, you mean He Rong's uncle has a problem? Is he plotting against Liu Tingting?" Tian Qing asked quickly.

"No, no, no, to be precise, it should be Uncle He Rong in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall who may have been cruel to Liu Tingting, because didn't I tell you before? There seems to be something wrong with Uncle He Rong nowadays, like It was influenced by the Cthulhu Run game lobby, so combined with the current situation, I think we have reason to suspect that He Rong's uncle may be a villain in a certain module, and Liu Tingting's disappearance will be the player's The entry point; by investigating the mysterious disappearance of Liu Tingting, players will find that Liu Tingting may have finally appeared in the teahouse owned by Uncle He Rong, which will naturally point the finger at He Rong's uncle."

Liu Xing took a look at the map and realized that the new address given by Song He was actually only two streets away from the teahouse opened by Uncle He Rong, that is, one was next to the station and the other was behind the station.

Could it be that he had a chance to see He Rong's uncle in half an hour?

Just when Liu Xing was thinking about whether He Rong's uncle would suddenly appear later, Tian Qing continued: "Although Liu Xing said what you said, I also think there may be something wrong with He Rong's uncle, but this matter Things didn't end like this! Although Liu Tingting suddenly disappeared near the station, she was also witnessed by people in your hometown later, and there were more than one person, including Liu Tingting's former classmates and friends; these witnesses Mentioned that they accidentally saw Liu Tingting walking with a stranger. They were walking a bit fast at that time, so the witnesses who knew Liu Tingting had no time to say hello to her, and when asked if they were sure they really saw Liu Tingting At the time, these witnesses all mentioned that they only saw Liu Tingting’s profile, so they were not 100% sure.”

"And the locations where these witnesses were seen are also very interesting. They are either some small alleys in the old city or some remote areas on the outskirts of the city. In short, they are places with relatively few people. After connecting these witness locations, it is also It's not certain where Liu Tingting and the stranger wanted to go. They seemed to be wandering randomly in the county. However, this may also be to avoid the surveillance cameras of the shops facing the street. In short, the surveillance cameras in the county did not take any pictures from the beginning to the end. I have seen the front of Liu Tingting, and the back view was blurry for more than ten seconds at most, so I cannot be sure that this is really Liu Tingting."

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Except for some newly built buildings in the suburbs of my hometown, there are no so-called communities in other places, so there are many small alleys between several buildings. For example, when I was a child, I went to school. There are several routes to choose from, and the specific route depends on what I had for breakfast. Therefore, in theory, I can walk around the county seat without taking a few steps on the street, and the surrounding suburbs at that time Either various factories or Taoist temples... Of course, if there are some further ahead, you will reach the cemetery."

"That's it, but judging from the descriptions of eyewitnesses, Liu Tingting was not restricted by the stranger at that time, and she seemed quite happy, as if she was really shopping with the stranger, but the stranger seemed to have been They are all observing the surrounding situation.”
