Around me, Boss Le and Tong Bin were having a lot of chatting, mainly because Tong Bin was complaining, and Boss Le comforted him very seriously. Tong Bin drank a little too much, opened his heart to Boss Le, and revealed his depression like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Boss Le comforted him as a person who had experienced it, and also promised Tong Bin to introduce his girlfriend to him. At that time, Tong Bin would be sure to forget the pain of breaking up and move forward again.

The two of them said these words several times before they realized that Sheng Yao had never said anything.

Boss Le turned around and saw Sheng Yao flirting with his eyebrows and wondering, not knowing what he was thinking.

Boss Le patted Sheng Yao, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Sheng Yao raised his back and looked at Boss Le, then looked at Tong Bin, "You've finished talking?"

"I promised to introduce him to a partner." Boss Le briefly introduced their chat content, which was similar to what Boss Le said when he just sat down.

Tong Bin stretched out his hand, grabbed Boss Le's wrist and shook it hard twice, "You must help me, Boss Le. Thank you, thank you!"

"Hi, it's easy to say." Boss Le patted Tong Bin's back of his hand.

"Well... I remembered some things and took a step first." Sheng Yao said.

Boss Le was surprised.

Tong Bin was also a little sobered up and looked at Sheng Yao who was getting up in confusion, "You are leaving now? You have just sat down for a while, right?"

Tong Bin was also confused. He complained to Boss Le for more than an hour, and shattered all the things he and Kong Yajie had done, and three bottles of beer were left. He really had limited alcohol tolerance, and his eyes were a little confused at this moment.

Boss Le was just surprised that Sheng Yao left suddenly, and thought that the two of them had neglected Sheng Yao just now, which made Sheng Yao unhappy. But when he thought, Sheng Yao was not such a person, and Sheng Yao didn't look unhappy.

"You guys keep talking." Sheng Yao did not explain.

Of course, Tong Bin and Boss Le would not force Sheng Yao to stay.

Tong Bin raised his hand, looking like he wanted to wave goodbye.

Boss Le pulled Sheng Yao for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is it because of the person I just met? Do you owe money to others, or do you owe money to others? If you have any difficulties, just talk. I also know these people in this area."

He really has a wide range of friendships.

Sheng Yao was amused and crying, "It's not that kind of thing. Don't worry, I'm fine."

He greeted Tong Bin again, and then he asked Boss Le to take care of Tong Bin, so he walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

Sheng Yao jumped wildly in the center of the night, walked out of the bustling street quickly, stopped a taxi at the intersection, and headed straight for the direction of his home.

He sat in the back seat of the taxi, his face getting ugly.

Just now, he sat in the barbecue restaurant. He didn't listen to the conversation between Tong Bin and Boss Le. He was thinking about the "patient" he only glanced at. It was definitely not the first time the two of them "meeted". The smell of cigarettes and the feeling of being watched...

After repeated recollections, Sheng Yao finally confirmed that the strangeness he felt these days came from that "patient". He was indeed followed and was followed by someone to his home! That "patient" knew where he lived and had followed him to the cemetery, so he must have known about Bai Xiao's existence!

Bai Xiao...

Sheng Yao felt nervous and took out his cell phone to make a call.

When the phone was dialed out, he thought of some movie plots. Those thrillers and police films always have such plots. When the protagonist needs to be quiet and focused, their phones will ring out at an unexpected opportunity.

Sheng Yao was very nervous, and the busy voice of the phone that had not been answered for a long time made his nerves tense more and more tense.

When the taxi arrived at the community, Sheng Yao almost jumped out of the car and rushed to the doorstep.

He didn't go upstairs and didn't need to enter the house. His keen five senses had already been activated in the barbecue restaurant.

No one at home!

Sheng Yao felt a stronger feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

He kept paying attention to the surroundings. The "patient" had disappeared outside the barbecue restaurant before. It has been a long time since he had not noticed the other party's breath along the way... Has that "patient" ever found Bai Xiao?

Sheng Yao returned home worriedly.

The door of the house was closed and the door lock was not damaged. Bai Xiao's pair of sneakers were missing from the entrance. The windows of the living room and bedroom were closed, and the lights and air conditioners in the room were also closed. Among the appliances, only the night lights and refrigerators in the corridor kept plug-in operation. There were more dishwashers that stopped running next to the refrigerator. Sheng Yao didn't see pots and pans when he went out. The kitchen trash can was empty.

Sheng Yao called Bai Xiao's phone again and found the new phone on the sofa in the living room. Next to the phone is the remote control of the TV.

Everything looked natural, just like Bai Xiao had dinner, set up a dishwasher, and went out with the garbage. She might have forgotten to bring her mobile phone, or she might have felt that she didn't need to bring her mobile phone when she went downstairs to throw garbage.

But what was wrong was that it was already past eight o'clock now, and when Sheng Yao ran into the community, he did not find Bai Xiao's traces in the community. Bai Xiao must be not in the community.

Where has she gone?

Sheng Yao was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.

He tried hard to calm down, but he couldn't control his wild heartbeat.

The moment of the car accident thirty-five years ago replayed in his mind.

His body couldn't help but tremble, as if he could see Bai Xiao tilting in the passenger seat and gradually losing his life.

Sheng Yao bit his tongue and used the pain to wake him up.

No! He will not lose his life again!

Sheng Yao expanded his five senses as much as possible.

Bai Xiao's breath filled his nose. He had a sharper sense of smell than a dog. The scenery in front of him also had a layer of trace that was difficult to see in the naked eye. It was fingerprints, oil seeped out of the skin, and secretions from the human body. With the traces of different residual time, different depths appeared in his eyes.

The walls and objects were processed by his brain and turned into perspective in his mind. The traces were marked with key symbols, and through imagination, they depicted Bai Xiao's movement trajectory that he had never seen.

There was a clear handprint on the door handle. Sheng Yao could even see that a piece of the left handprint was missing, which happened to be where the wedding ring was fixed on Bai Xiao’s finger.

Sheng Yao quickly ran to the door and opened the door.

He smelled the smell of Bai Xiao in the air and went downstairs to see the same handprints on the door handle of the doorway downstairs.

When I went out, I couldn't see clear traces, but Sheng Yao could still capture the smell of Bai Xiao in the air.

Sheng Yao ran after the smell.

...

On the TV, Sheng Yao ran in the night. He was as fast as lightning, and was captured by the camera with all the subtle movements, expressions, and even the slight changes in his muscles. The background behind him turned into light and shadow lines, reflected in the doctor's dark blue eyes.

The TV room is no longer dark and there is no sign of fingers. There is an extra light beside the sofa. The huge filing cabinet still stands behind the sofa, but the files on it become messy, and several copies have been pulled out, scattered on the sofa, coffee table and floor.

The DVD machine was pulled out and threw it aside. The CDs scattered around the machine like files reflecting the light of the floor lamp.

The doctor had a file spread out on his knees, but he stared at the TV intently, clenching his fists with both hands, as if he was cheering for Sheng Yao running. The shining blue eyes widened excitedly. The ten nails pinched into his palms screamed, as if he was dissatisfied with not seeing anything, and seemed to be shouting on behalf of the doctor.

Sheng Yao paused as he ran. His face changed several times, and the camera also gave him a close-up of his face.

He turned his eyes and glanced around him, astonishment, doubt and hesitation flashed in his eyes, and became nervous, worried and anxious again.

All emotions emerge and disappear in this close-up.

But it's all in the blink of an eye.

Sheng Yao gritted his teeth and started running again.

A strange laugh came from the doctor's mask.

The camera slowly fell from parallel to Sheng Yao and followed his figure across the empty streets.

There was no one along the way, not many street lights, and no surveillance cameras.

The camera followed Sheng Yao into the abandoned factory...

Sheng Yao paused, lowered his head and walked forward carefully.

The camera crossed his shoulders and looked down at the ground.

There are some tiny pieces on the ground.

Sheng Yao squatted down and shook his body before he could stabilize.

His hands were trembling.

Some metal fragments on the ground, unlike the surrounding factory garbage, are not covered with dust.

The fragments are too small to tell what they are.

Sheng Yao glanced at him, stood up suddenly, and flashed to the side of the abandoned machine tool, and picked up a small gravel from the corner of the machine.

With two pinched, the gravel was embedded in the flesh, which was difficult to distinguish. But the camera had captured the dazzling light along with Sheng Yao's gaze.

Sheng Yao pinched the gravel in his palm.

He turned pale and moved a few steps before he took a step and continued to run forward.

He ran out of the factory and leaped over the fence...

The picture on the TV suddenly became clear.

Sheng Yao stood by the river bank.

In front of the camera is a straight riverside landscape road, and the street lights are all decorated with beautiful carvings, but the beauty is not enough. The street lights nearest exploded with light bulbs, dull. The cement road is covered with fallen leaves, garbage, pits and cracks. On the right is a beautiful river water, and on the opposite bank, although the railing along the road has a slightly curved and deformed, it is still good overall; on the left is a dark grove, the piece close to the road is bare, and there are no weeds. There are tables, chairs, benches, and you can see the trees falling horizontally a little farther away.

Bai Xiao supported his hands on the railing, turned his head in surprise, looked at the camera, and also looked at Sheng Yao. She kept her surprised expression and asked, "Where did you come out? Didn't you drink with Tong Bin?"

Sheng Yao's breathing sounded.

It wasn't surprising that he would breathe heavily all the way, but his breathing was not like being tired, but more like being in a relaxed and relaxed exhaled due to his mood.

Sheng Yao finally raised his legs and took a step.

The camera moved downward, photographing his left hand clenched into a fist, and also filming Bai Xiao standing not far away.

The surprise on Bai Xiao's face had faded, he smiled calmly, and looked at the river water in the night and the buildings with lights on the other side of the river.
