The knocking sound from the old security door has a sense of age.
Not only the sound, but you can feel it just by looking at the mottled rust on the security door and the remaining Spring Festival couplets on both sides, not to mention the various small advertisements posted in the corridor.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
Lin Mo knocked again.
He thought that maybe Liu Jia's parents hadn't gotten up yet.
Judging from the information, Liu Jia was the only daughter in their family. The elderly couple must have been very sad after missing for so long.
Then you have to wait a while to ask, and you have to pay attention to the method. It is best not to irritate the old couple.
In addition, assuming that he lost his memory, Liu Jia's parents must still recognize him.
When they see themselves for a while, they may become emotional.
This also needs to be taken into consideration.
Lin Mo realized that he was a little reckless and should investigate more carefully.
At this moment, a person came up the stairs below.
He is about fifty years old, wearing slippers and carrying takeaway breakfast.
After coming up, the other party stared at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo thought the other person was the resident upstairs, so he planned to get out of the way. However, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Mo and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Maybe it's a neighbor in this building.
Lin Mo pointed to the security door in front: "I know this family."
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Mo again: "But I don't know you, who are you looking for?"
This is his home?
Lin Mo was stunned and took a closer look at the greasy middle-aged uncle in front of him.
Is this Liu Jia’s father?
The other party came up and banged on the door.
This time, footsteps came from behind the door, and then the door opened. A middle-aged woman stuck her head out and said, "You don't know how to open the door yourself, and you don't have the key?"
The middle-aged uncle smiled apologetically: "I forgot to bring it. Here, make it early!"
He said and handed over the plastic bag in his hand.
The middle-aged woman also saw Lin Mo at this time and looked up and down: "Who is this person?"
"I don't know, I don't know him. He said he was looking for someone. Do you know my wife?" the middle-aged man asked nonsense.
Sure enough, the woman frowned: "I know you and why are you asking?"
Lin Mo was also stunned at this time.
He thought on the way that if 'he' had accompanied Liu Jia's parents to report a crime, it would be impossible for them not to know him. Lin Mo even thought about it and met each other. This couple, who was suffering from the pain of losing their daughter,
Couples must have low pressure and live a very miserable life. When they see themselves, they will be surprised and say: "Why is it you?"
Or they might say: "What are you doing here? Haven't you done enough harm to our Liu Jia?"
This is the correct script.
But what is going on now?
Could it be that the address investigated by the General Administration was wrong, or that Liu Jia's parents had moved and the place was rented to someone else?
"Please ask, is this Liu Jia's home?"
Lin Mo decided to make sure.
He felt that Liu Jia's parents should have moved away.
"Yes, we are Liu Jia's parents, who are you?" the middle-aged man looked at Lin Mo with a puzzled look and asked.
It’s true!
Lin Moxin said that this situation was really unexpected, why did the old couple not play their cards according to the routine.
Could it be that because five years have passed, I have looked away?
Fortunately, Lin Mo responded very quickly. He immediately said: "I am Liu Jia's high school classmate. I am on a business trip to Lingmao City this time, so I stopped by to take a look."
"High school classmate?" Liu Jia's mother was obviously straight-tempered. She said directly: "Then you come to our Liu Jia?"
Lin Mo nodded.
That's all he could say.
Because according to common sense, unless you are very familiar with this family, it is unlikely that you will know that Liu Jia has disappeared.
And looking at the old couple's reactions to him, it was obvious that they didn't recognize him.
This is a hell of a deal.
Lin Mo almost convinced himself that there was something wrong with his memory. Could it be that he accompanied Liu Jia's parents to report the crime in a daze?
But the other party actually doesn't recognize him.
That means that there was definitely something fishy about reporting the crime back then, and I definitely didn’t accompany him there.
It is basically certain that someone is impersonating me.
When he thought of this, Lin Mo became very angry, secretly thinking that he had to get to the bottom of this matter, otherwise, even he thought he might be schizophrenic.
"We, Liu Jia, disappeared five years ago. You still don't know about this?" At this time, Liu's father looked a little depressed.
This is the right reaction at this moment.
But Lin Mo always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't put it right for a while.
Lin Mo immediately pretended to be very surprised.
"Missing? I don't know. We haven't contacted each other for several years, and I haven't heard from other classmates. What happened? Why did you disappear?"
Perhaps it was because Lin Mo was so good at acting that Liu's parents asked Lin Mo to come into the room to talk.
After all, it's not good to say this in the corridor.
Entering the house, Lin Mo found that although the residential building was shabby on the outside, the area inside was really big. It had three bedrooms and one living room, and it looked like it was over 100 square meters.
This is pretty good.
"Young man, what's your name?" Mother Liu asked in the room.
"Hou Zi, but everyone calls me a monkey!" Lin Mo told lies without blushing and his heart didn't flutter. He has become proficient in business.
"Oh, I have an impression, I have an impression. I heard Jiajia mention it before." Father Liu said to Mother Liu, who also nodded.
Lin Mo quickly asked about Liu Jia's disappearance.
"We still don't know about this matter. We just heard one day from a classmate of Jiajia that she was missing, so we went to report her. Who would have thought that we haven't found her until now."
Father Liu sighed.
"We go to the police station every now and then to ask, but they can't give us any results. It's been more than five years, and there's been no news at all. Hey, I didn't dare to think about the past days!" Liu's mother's eyes were also red.
Lin Mo noticed that there were many old photos of Liu Jia in this room.
The short-haired girl in the photo is young and beautiful. She is indeed the same as Liu Jia in the group photo, and every photo is clean.
Obviously, it is true that Liu Jia disappeared.
After all, there are records at the police station, so this cannot be faked.
But the person who accompanied Liu Jia's parents to call the police was definitely not him.
"By the way, uncle and aunt, you just said that you heard from a classmate that Liu Jia was missing. Can you tell me which classmate it is?" Lin Mo asked.
"Let me think about it." Dad Liu recalled it for a moment, and then remembered: "It seems, my name is Lin Mo, wife, right?"
"Yes, her name is Lin Mo." Liu Ma confirmed, then looked at Lin Mo: "Monkey, Lin Mo should be your classmate too, do you know him?"
Lin Mo nodded: "We know, we know!"
Now it is absolutely certain that someone pretended to be himself and accompanied Liu Jia's parents to report the crime.
Speaking of which, Lin Mo felt a little ashamed.
In the past five years, the old couple finally returned to a somewhat normal life, but they were reminded of the past that they didn't want to recall.
And judging from their appearance, they really don’t recognize themselves.
"By the way, do you still remember what Lin Mo looks like?"
