A Chan

Li Weiyi was excited and nervous, and her intuition told her that the winner was her father!But why didn't he claim the prize for a month, until the night before the lottery ticket expired, why did he suddenly disappear in a strange way?
She knows her father's character very well, and after thinking about it for a while, she has a guess——

My father never bought lottery tickets. Maybe he didn't think of what it was at first when he found her note at home and looked at the string of numbers; or maybe he thought of it and didn't take it seriously.Until one day, on a whim, I went to buy a lottery ticket for April 4th.With his old scalper temperament who was busy all day, he probably forgot about it afterwards.

That makes sense.

Until almost a month later, when he returned home on the evening of May 1, he might have noticed the winning information at the lottery shop on the road, or he might have heard people talking about the explosive news that someone in this city had won the first prize but failed to claim it and it would expire soon. That's when I realized I'd won the lottery.My father carried a small purse every day in his small business, so he would probably just stuff it with him when he bought a lottery ticket.

But why did he go to the riverside lottery shop again?

That's right, he bought the lottery ticket there, maybe he wanted to confirm it, or maybe he thought he would redeem the prize at that lottery shop.

But the first prize of the two-color ball must be redeemed in Xiangcheng, the provincial capital.

He must have heard people talking about it in the lottery station and knew the news.

Li Weiyi's heart shook: That's right!It must be so.

The alley where my father was last seen, no one knows where he wants to go.That is neither the direction home nor the direction to the store.

Because that is the direction to the bus station.The lottery ticket expires the next day, and he wants to catch the last night bus to Xiangcheng!

It was the first time my father bought a lottery ticket. He didn't know that the Xiangcheng lottery center would be off work at night, and he was stunned by 500 million. He didn't bring a mobile phone and couldn't discuss it with his family.He must have wanted to rush to Xiangcheng as soon as possible to settle down and explain to his family.

All the doubts made sense.

Li Weiyi sat down on the curb, muttering to herself, "But, did my dad disappear in this city, or in Xiangcheng?"

She raised her head and met Zhang Jingchan's gaze.He put his hands in his trouser pockets, thoughtfully.Only then did Li Weiyi realize that he didn't know anything, and hurriedly explained: "The thing is like this..."

"I don't need to explain, I can probably guess it—your dad wants to take the night bus at the bus station and go to Xiangcheng to redeem the first prize?"

Li Weiyi: "...Fuck! You are really smart!"

Zhang Jingchan smiled faintly, thinking, your little brain is not slow to turn.

"What should we do now? Should we check the surveillance cameras at the bus station?" The case suddenly became clear, and Li Weiyi was excited and worried.

Zhang Jingchan said: "We don't need to check it ourselves, call Ding Chenmo. I think he is quite capable and capable, so he should be able to check it out."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jingchan also sat down on the curb, took out his mobile phone: "Captain Ding, I think of an important clue."

Zhang Jingchan explained the lottery in a clear and succinct manner. What Li Weiyi heard from him was almost exactly what she thought, but she omitted the details that she left the slip of the winning number.This made her really convinced. This person's insight is so keen, does the CEO's brain look like this?

Ding Chenmo at the other end also felt that it made sense.An old detective like him has a very strong intuition, and he immediately feels that this is the key to solving the case.But he said: "There is no need to check the monitoring at the bus station, because yesterday I sent someone to check all the monitoring at the bus station, highway, and dock - your father did not leave Huaicheng. Li Weiyi, you go home first, don't mess around anymore Go shopping, and don't disclose this speculation to anyone, even good acquaintances. I will immediately mobilize the police to track down this line, don't worry."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhang Jingchan said, "Captain Ding suspects that someone he knows committed the crime."

Li Weiyi was startled, but also understood.

Zhang Jingchan pondered: "Let's go to the alley where your father disappeared and see what we can find."

This is a very narrow alley with high walls on both sides and only a few houses, all of which are closed during the day.There is a canteen at the entrance of the alley.

Because it is a shortcut, there are a lot of people coming and going in the alley during the day.Li Weiyi remembered that at night, the alley was dark and the vegetable market on the other side was closed, so there were very few people.

The alley is not long, only three to four hundred meters.A surveillance camera on the main road captured Li Zhongheng entering the alley, and this was the last picture he left behind.

The two walked along the alley, but as expected, they found nothing.One family knocked on the door and no one answered, and two other families said they had never seen Li Zhongheng.The owner of the canteen at the alley said that there was no business at night, and closed at 7 or 8 o'clock.

But both of them believed that it was unlikely that Li Zhongheng disappeared in this alley, and he should go out.

Out of the alley, it is a not too spacious road, next to the vegetable market.There are primary schools, unit dormitories, many self-built houses and storefronts around, extending in all directions and mixed with people.

This is where the police started and lost track of Li Zhongheng.

Zhang Jingchan accompanied Li Weiyi from morning to afternoon.The two slipped into the school and searched for remote equipment rooms, storage rooms, and laboratories.I went into the dormitories of the two surrounding units, asked the guards, asked passers-by, turned every corner, and no one had seen Li Zhongheng.There is also the vegetable market, they also looked inside and out.

What remains are the self-built houses of various shapes.It is more difficult to investigate these houses, and the police have already conducted a round of investigations. Household searches are impossible, but they must have been generally investigated.

The two of them didn't eat lunch, so they sat down at a wonton stand hungry.Li Wei suggested that Zhang Jingchan had taken off his school uniform and was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt. There was fine sweat on his forehead, so she couldn't help but grabbed a tissue and wiped it for him.

Zhang Jingchan looked up at her.

Li Weiyi didn't know why she made such a move, probably because her own forehead was too fair, and the sweat looked too obtrusive.She put down the paper and said, "It doesn't look good for a girl to be sweaty, you have to pay attention to maintaining my image."

She threw the paper into the trash can, and said with a smile: "I am a good man who cares about fragrance and cherishes jade."

This made him laugh at what he said on the plane during the previous time travel.

Zhang Jingchan stood up, sat on a bench with her, put one arm on the table, and pulled out a piece of tissue.Li Weiyi's back stiffened slightly, he had already wiped off the sweat on her forehead with a tissue, her eyes were black and dull.

Li Weiyi said awkwardly: "I'll do it myself." He wanted to grab the tissue in his hand, but he raised his hand, dodged it, lost it, changed another tissue, wiped her cheek, and said, "Is that all right?" ?”

"All right, all right! You should sit back quickly." Li Weiyi said hastily, "I was wrong, and I dare not touch you again."

Zhang Jingchan paused, threw the paper into the trash can, sat back in his chair, and said, "I didn't say you did anything wrong."

This sounded weird, Li Weiyi subconsciously couldn't think about it, and said instead: "Thank you today, I searched with me all day, if... we can't find it by tomorrow morning, we will go to you first Dad, take care of Fuming's first. If you can save one, it's one."

He said, "We'll talk about it later."

It was sunset time, and the golden sunlight scattered over the surrounding high and low buildings.The two were eating wontons side by side, and out of the corner of his eye, Li Weiyi suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking into a yard.She took a closer look and saw that it was a tall, thin woman with light makeup, high cheekbones and red lips, wearing a short pink skirt and high heels. She looked familiar.

Li Weiyi looked up again, the yard she entered was clearly a restaurant, and there was a signboard of "Songji Food Court" hanging at the door.There are several houses inside, and the area is not small.But it was already dinner time, and there was no one coming in or out of the gate. At a glance, it was deserted, and it could be seen that there was no business.

Li Weiyi put down her chopsticks.

Zhang Jingchan: "What's wrong?"

Li Weiyi frowned: "I recognize that woman."
