It was summer vacation and the weather was suffocatingly hot. Gu Wenyu came to the Public Security Bureau alone. At this time, she seemed a little nervous and panicked. Opposite her was a young lady in uniform who looked like she should be a civilian police officer.
.
The young lady was carefully recording what Gu Wenyu said. After she finished writing, she looked up at Gu Wenyu and asked, "When was the last time you saw Gu Wentian?"
Gu Wenyu said without thinking: "It was the morning before yesterday. I still remember him saying he would come back earlier in the evening, but that night, he didn't come back at all, and the phone was turned off."
The young lady quickly recorded it, and then asked: "Have you contacted any of his friends?"
Gu Wenyu nodded immediately and said: "I contacted him and called his colleagues. They said that my brother did not go to work the day before yesterday."
After hearing this, the young lady asked another hypothetical question: "Could it be that you went out to play?"
When Gu Wenyu heard this, he said excitedly: "No! He will definitely tell me even if he goes out to play! My brother is very measured, he will not disappear for no reason, something must have happened to him!"
Seeing that Gu Wenyu was agitated, the young lady could only comfort her: "Okay, don't get excited. I'm just asking about the situation as usual."
At this time, another uniformed policeman came over. He handed the young lady opposite Gu Wenyu a stack of information, and then whispered a few words to her. The young lady nodded, and the man didn't pause any longer.
, seems to be just here to deliver information.
The young lady glanced at Gu Wenyu first, and then started to look down at the information. As she read, she said to Gu Wenyu: "According to the road surveillance and the surveillance camera at the entrance of your community, Gu Wentian was there on July 10th, which was the afternoon of the day before yesterday.
I returned to the community at 15:42 and haven’t come out since.”
After saying that, the young lady looked at Gu Wenyu again, with a questioning look in her eyes, as if Gu Wenyu was here to report a false case.
Gu Wenyu was a little confused. She asked tentatively: "What do you mean? You mean, my brother disappeared in the community?"
The young lady shook her head, "I didn't say that, but according to the surveillance, Gu Wentian should be in the community." After saying that, she asked again: "Did you quarrel?"
The meaning was obvious. She suspected that the brother and sister had a conflict, and the brother deliberately avoided seeing her. After all, she always received several disappearance cases a year, which were all quarrels between husband and wife, conflicts between relatives, and then
One party ran away from home and came back after a few days.
But Gu Wenyu said with certainty: "No! We didn't quarrel!"
The young lady in uniform nodded. She turned the recorded document to Gu Wenyu as if it were a routine, and then said: "Take a look, is there anything else you want to add?"
Gu Wenyu looked at the contents of the record and said, "No, then when will you go find my brother?"
The young lady did not answer Gu Wenyu's words. She pointed to the bottom of the document and said, "If there is no problem, sign here, and then you can go back. We will notify you if there is any news about your brother."
Gu Wenyu glanced at the place where the other person pointed, she signed quickly, and then begged: "Please find my brother!"
The young lady took back the document, and then repeated: "We will notify you when we have news." Maybe in her mind, Gu Wentian was just losing his temper. After all, the surveillance records showed that he had returned home.
Gu Wenyu couldn't hide her feeling of loss. She whispered thank you and then returned home in despair.
Looking at the empty room, Gu Wenyu could no longer suppress her emotions, and her tears couldn't stop falling. She looked at the small photo frame in front of the TV cabinet. In the photo were her parents and brother, a family.
Everyone laughed happily.
It was a photo taken when her brother graduated from college. Gu Wenyu gently picked up the photo frame and looked at the relatives in the photo. She finally showed a faint smile, but the tears seemed to have their own will.
Controlled overflow of eyes.
Gu Wenyu's parents died in a traffic accident three years ago. At that time, Gu Wenyu was still in his third year of high school and was about to face the college entrance examination. Gu Wentian had just graduated from college, and this photo became the last group photo of their family.
Since his parents passed away unexpectedly, Gu Wentian has had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister. Gu Wentian is responsible for all the family's living expenses. When Gu Wenyu is admitted to college, Gu Wentian will also help her pay for her tuition.
In fact, Gu Wenyu has always known that this is very stressful for Gu Wentian, who has just entered the workplace. Her brother has loved her since she was a child, so Gu Wenyu will never show these pressures. As long as he returns home, he is the optimistic one.
A warm brother.
Of course, her brother is Gu Wenyu's only support in the world. Now that her brother is missing, Gu Wenyu seems to have lost her backbone. She doesn't know what to do next.
Thinking of what the police officer said that Gu Wentian had never left the community, she really couldn't figure out where her brother had gone.
Gu Wenyu was crying. She suddenly put down the photo frame, wiped her tears casually, and then hurriedly walked to Gu Wentian's bedroom. She couldn't just sit and wait for news, she had to do something.
Gu Wentian's bedroom is very clean, with everything neatly placed in their respective places. It doesn't look like a boy's bedroom at all.
Gu Wenyu first looked around, then walked to the desk and began to look through the books and documents on the table. If there were any clues, she felt that these documents were the most likely ones.
However, after Gu Wenyu flipped through it for a while, he found that these were all very ordinary documents, belonging to his brother's work, and there seemed to be nothing special about them.
Gu Wenyu put down the information in his hand and tried to pull the drawer. Only when he pulled it did he realize that his brother's drawer was actually locked.
This is strange. What is in the drawer? Why did Gu Wentian lock the drawer?
Gu Wenyu felt that what she was looking for must be inside the drawer. She turned Gu Wentian's pen holder upside down and poured out the pen and a bunch of messy things. That was where Gu Wentian was used to putting small things.
But Gu Wenyu emptied the pen holder, but still didn't see the key to the drawer.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Gu Wenyu was anxious and angry, and was very irritable. She pulled the drawer hard and dragged the entire table up, but the drawer could not be opened. She punched the table angrily and kicked it as if to vent her anger.
Table legs.
When Gu Wenyu finally calmed down, she looked at the locked drawer, turned and left the room.
After a while, she found a hammer from somewhere and swung it hard towards the wooden drawer.
It was just a wooden desk with wooden drawers and a lock. In terms of sturdiness, it was indeed not very good. Gu Wenyu only smashed it twice, but the drawer was already a little deformed and the lock was broken.
This time, Gu Wenyu easily opened the drawer and saw a book lying quietly inside the drawer.
The cover shows a distorted city. The background of the city is a strange blood-red color. Streetlights seem to be on the streets, but there is not a single human figure.
I don't know why, but just looking at the cover of this book gave Gu Wenyu a strange feeling of suffocation.
Gu Wenyu slowly took the book in her hand. She gently stroked the calligraphy on the page. Different from the suffocating urban background, these four words were like substance, as if they had a life of their own, giving people a sense of
Very warm feeling.
"The strange book of fate?" Gu Wenyu murmured.
These four words seem to have magic power, making people unable to take their eyes away after just one glance. It is like there is an invisible force tempting you, constantly urging you to open the cover page.
Gu Wenyu stared at the book with burning eyes. Time seemed to have stopped. There was nothing else in Gu Wenyu's eyes. Even the sound of the wind disappeared. After an unknown amount of time, Gu Wenyu finally opened the cover page.
