I'm a street kid, but my wife, a policewoman, won't divorce her

Chapter 53 Mistake by the River

Chen Xiao suddenly had an inspiration.

"Captain Zhang, the owner of this store will leave this photo wall for Si Ying, so will Si Ying leave anything for us? You must know that she left very suddenly and in a hurry!"

Zhang Xian was stunned at Chen Xiao's words, then slapped his thigh: "I'll go, why didn't I think of it!"

As he said this, Zhang Xian's confused and troubled thinking seemed to be cleared up instantly by Chen Xiao. Then Chen Xiao couldn't help but drag him to Si Ying's parents' house.

On the way to Si Ying's parents' house, Zhang Xian was also extremely excited.

Although he didn't speak, nor did he make any twisting movements.

But with the cigarette butt in his mouth, Chen Xiao could tell that he no longer knew what the bite was like.

The car drove through the streets and alleys and finally arrived at the downstairs of Si Ying's parents' house. He parked the car and Zhang Xian quickly went upstairs.

When they arrived at the place, Si Ying's father came and opened the door.

Si Ying's father was surprised to see it was Zhang Xian: "Captain Zhang, is there anything else?"

The two old men in the room had just returned from the criminal police team, so they were naturally surprised to see Zhang Xian again.

"Old sir, we thought of something temporarily, so we came to our house to talk to you."

"Well then, please come in." The old gentleman welcomed the two of them in.

After sitting down, Si Ying's mother brought Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian a cup of tea each.

Chen Xiao took it and stood up to observe the whole room.

Zhang Xian noticed his movements and said, "Old sir, old lady, I won't talk in circles with you now. I came here today to ask old Siying if she took anything with her before she lost the news?"

The two elders shook their heads at the same time: "This is the strange thing. She called us at that time and said that she was going abroad soon. We were still thinking about preparing her luggage, but Si Ying said no and hung up the phone in a hurry."

"That's really strange. How can anyone go abroad without packing their luggage?" Zhang Xian sighed, and the two elders nodded in succession:
  "That's right, it's not like going a hundred or two hundred kilometers away, this is going to a foreign country."

Zhang Xian glanced at Chen Xiao and saw that he was still looking at him, so he asked again: "Isn't Ms. Si's stuff thrown away?"

"How could you throw it away? Even if it is moved here, we have packed it and locked it."

"Can I take a look at it with my colleagues?"

The two parents hope that the police will investigate more about Si Ying. Only by starting the investigation can they know whether their daughter is alive or dead.

"Captain Zhang, please come here. We put all Si Ying's things in one room. Her mother also rearranged them according to the furnishings in the old house and cleaned everything."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao also stopped looking and followed the two elders to the room.

When I opened the door, I was immediately greeted by the smell of freshener in the room.

Although the curtains were drawn, they were in a very elegant pink and white color. The lotus flowers embroidered on it made the whole room particularly refreshing.

Chen Xiao walked in and he could see that the floor was clean.

But the quilt on the bed made him sigh uncontrollably.

There must be no one sleeping in the room, but there is everything in the room.

The furnishings and the spotless bedding all tell people that there is a pair of old people who have been waiting for their daughter to come home.

But, can their daughter still go home?
  Chen Xiao didn't have the answer, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the courage to say it.

Silently walking to the desk, Chen Xiao asked softly: "Old man, are there anything in the room that you can't touch at will?"

"You can see what you want to see. The furnishings in the house are all the same as those in the old house. What you see now is what Si Ying's room looked like after she left home."

With that said, Si Ying's father also dragged his wife away.

The latter wiped away tears as he walked. He hummed in sadness but was immediately stopped by Si Ying's father.

Zhang Xian also became a little emotional, but now is not the time to be emotional, he can only do business first. "If she left something behind, where do you think it would most likely be?" Zhang Xian asked, then opened a cabinet.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "I'm not sure, but the people I've met now probably know what kind of person Si Ying is. She has a very gentle personality, but she should be very careful about her image. On that wall of the beverage shop All her photos are beautiful, even though she is now in her forties."

"Most women like this are delicate and unassuming, which can also be understood as introverted. But no matter what personality she is, unless she has escaped from the world, she will have emotions and sorrows hidden deep in her heart. She loves beauty, Her best friend left countless beautiful moments for her, but she did not refuse. Does this mean that she is a person who likes to record?"

Chen Xiao said while analyzing, and then looked at Zhang Xian after analyzing.

The latter gave a thumbs up: "I know that doing things with you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

With that said, Zhang Xian began to look for something to record.

In 2006, people didn't have many options for how they documented their lives.

Although computers began to become popular at this time, not everyone with financial means would buy them.

For example, there is no computer in Si Ying's room, and computers are still considered valuable items nowadays.

If so, Si Ying's parents would definitely bring a new home.

Not at the moment, which means that Si Ying has no habit of using computers.

As for mobile phones, Si Ying has been missing for a year. Even now, mobile phones are not convenient for recording people's beautiful lives.

Otherwise, why would the owner of the beverage shop take pictures of her with a camera and then develop them again.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's goal is very clear, which is to find out if Si Ying has the habit of keeping a diary!
  She has a desk with books on it.

Some are about love, and most of them are novels by Zhang Ailing. Some of them are books about life, most of which are written by Yu Hua.

However, there is a book that has nothing to do with love or life. Although it is also written by Mr. Yu Hua, it is a detective novel - "The Mistake by the River".

Seeing this book, Chen Xiao subconsciously pulled it out of the pile.

Observing the condition of the cover and pages, Chen Xiao was sure that Siying had turned over the book very frequently.

Chen Xiao sat on a chair and started reading, looking as if he came here not to find clues that Si Ying might leave, but to read the novel.

Zhang Xian has been looking for things like the diary he imagined, but he searched over and over but found nothing.

Subconsciously looking at Chen Xiao, Zhang Xian shouted speechlessly when he saw that he was flipping through the pages of the book: "Hey, what are you doing? Are you here to become an intellectual?"

Chen Xiao raised his finger: "Quiet, don't talk."

Zhang Xian frowned: "What do you mean? Since you read it, I will also read it. What is it written?"

"In a fictional detective novel by the author, an old man who sheltered lunatics was found by the riverside after being killed. A witness found her and called the police. But during the police investigation, the witness once again found the head of the deceased. , so he became the object of suspicion, and even he himself fell into deep self-doubt. So he hallucinated, saying that he saw the head of the third deceased. In the end, his hallucination overlapped with reality and he couldn't bear it. After all the stress, the witness committed suicide."

"And in the investigation after investigation, the male protagonist made various judgments and hypotheses and finally discovered that the real culprit had already had various evidences pointing to the madman adopted by the old lady! But the madman killed someone and couldn't do anything to him. In the end, the male protagonist shot him to death himself. madman."

As Chen Xiao narrated, Zhang Xian smashed the bar a few times and said, "It's quite interesting, but have you found any clues left by Si Ying?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, and Zhang Xian picked a book from the desk with some disappointment.

Chen Xiao took a look, and when he saw the words "Lust, Caution" on the cover, he smiled and said, "You are really good at choosing. The first one you pick will be the most classic one."

"Is it a classic? I don't really like reading novels."

Chen Xiaogang wanted to explain, but he quickly came to his senses.

In 06, this book had not yet been adapted into a movie!
  Thinking of this, Chen Xiao simply responded in silence and continued to read "The Mistake by the River" in his hand.

Just looking at it, Chen Xiao's brows became more and more furrowed.

He seemed to understand it, and he seemed to understand something.

What he understood was in his mind as if Si Ying was narrating it himself...
