    Xiang Ya was surprised when she heard this voice that she hadn't heard for a long time, and she hurried out of the house.

    Bell, who was renamed Xiao Gao, jumped off Xiang Ya's lap and followed the new owner outside.

    There was a girl with fluttering long hair standing outside the shop. The girl looked very dignified and gentle, not the same type as Xiang Ya.

    The visitor was Cheng Li, the daughter of the owner of the grocery store next door.

    At that time, Zhang Fanyu suspected that Xiang Ya came to her house to investigate, and met the grocery store owner who said that his daughter knew Xiang Ya, which triggered a series of encounters and adventures between Zhang Fanyu and Xiang Ya.

    Cheng Li is the senior sister who has a good relationship with Xiang Ya.

    As soon as Xiang Ya walked out the door, he saw Cheng Li wearing a goose yellow dress with a decent demeanor.

    Xiang Ya was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Cheng Li, when did you come back from abroad? Didn't the company say that the company will send you to study for a year?"

    Cheng Li smiled and said nothing, first quietly looked at the elementary school girl who had been watching her grow up, her eyes flashed with distress, she stepped forward and hugged Xiang Ya.

    "Thanks for your hard work."

    The simple three words left Xiang Ya stunned, his eyes swollen quickly.

    She shook her head very lightly, "It's not hard."

    Cheng Li let go of her arms, raised her hand and patted Ya's head.

    "I'm not in China these days, so I don't know that so many things happened to you. If my dad hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened to your family."

    "As for the debt, you should have told me earlier, how is it, how much worse is it now? Senior sister can help you think of a way."

    Xiang Ya refused, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, the money has been paid off."

    "You haven't told me why you returned home suddenly?"

    Seeing Xiang Ya's expression, Cheng Li was sure that the money was paid off, but it seemed that the other party wanted to avoid the topic of how to repay the money. Cheng Li is not a person with low emotional intelligence, and she also believes that Xiang Ya will not do illegal things. crime.

    She no longer struggled with the debt problem.

    When the other party asked about returning to China, Cheng Li was a little shy, and raised her hair around her ears uncomfortably.

    She said: "I came back to be engaged. Three months ago, I met my fiancé abroad. He is an overseas Chinese. He has been living abroad since he was born. He is also curious about the current development in China, so we made an appointment here. Come back to China and see my dad soon."

    Xiang Ya was a little surprised, and the next second was happy that the senior was about to start a new stage.

    She smiled and blessed, and said: "When will you bring it out to meet me?"

    Cheng Li replied generously: "It's just these two days. I've been keeping an eye on whether you've come back a few days ago, but I can't get in touch with you. In fact, I've wanted to ask you out for dinner a long time ago."

    "However," she paused, "It's not just because of this matter that I'm looking for you so urgently. I find something very strange, and I don't know if I read it wrong..."

    Hearing the word "look", Xiang Ya felt uneasy, and her smile froze slowly.

    She only heard her ask: "Senior sister, what did you see?"

    "Xiang Ya, I heard from my dad that Uncle Xiang and Aunt Li disappeared in early February, but I seemed to see them in Finland at the end of January..."

    "What month did you meet them that day?" Xiang Ya's voice was a little anxious.

    "On January 20th, I remember very clearly that the company had just completed a big project that day, and my colleagues and I went to celebrate. When we came out of the bar, I saw it from a distance. I called them suspiciously, and they also watched it. come over."

    "I can see the face clearly. Originally, I wanted to tell you about it, but I was busy working immediately after waking up the next day, so I forgot."

    "My dad is also true. He also kept the disappearance of Uncle Xiang and Aunt Li from me. If it wasn't for half a month ago, he asked me to take your photo, and I asked me to ask you to talk about these things. I don't know about you. Encountered such a big trouble."

    Xiang Ya felt her heart beating faster. On January 20, she remembered very clearly that she was not feeling well at that time and stayed at home on leave. Her parents had been taking care of her.

    The time difference between Finland and China is only 5 hours, and the time span does not exceed one day. It is impossible for her parents to appear in Finland on the 20th.

    What the senior sister saw was nothing more than two possibilities: 1. She drank too much, she mistook the figure of Xiang Ya's parents, but just now said that she saw the positive face...

    2. She was indeed right, but those two people might be another pair of "Xiang Zhonghe and Li Na".

    The shivering feeling that the pores shrank and stood up, crawled inch by inch from the lower part of Ya's back to the whole body.

    Because the moment the two possibilities were mentioned, Xiang Ya was almost entirely inclined to the second guess.

    The appearance of the supernatural hotel makes Xiang Ya understand that the more impossible something happens, the more likely it is real.

    "So, Xiang Ya, did Uncle Xiang and the others really go abroad that day?" Cheng Li looked at her suspiciously.

    Xiang Ya's throat was dry, and she felt her soul being pulled away, staring at her mouth and answering dryly.

    "The time is too far away, and I can't remember clearly. Maybe you misread the person."

    When Cheng Li heard this, she glanced at Xiang Ya a few times, and didn't dwell on the matter any longer.

    She patted the other person's head lightly again.

    "Well, maybe I was wrong."

    Xiang Ya suddenly asked again: "Senior sister, did you tell anyone else about seeing my parents?"

    Cheng Li was taken aback, and quickly responded with a gentle smile: "No, this matter is not certain, you know that I will not tell others about the uncertain things, I didn't even tell my father."

    After she finished speaking, she smiled again, "Okay, it seems that there was a misunderstanding, and you just came home not long ago, so you should go and get some rest first, and I'll contact you later for dinner."

    Xiang Yamu sent Cheng Li to the direction of the street. Their house was in a real estate nearby. Except for Uncle Cheng who came to open a shop, senior sister seldom came.

    Uncle Cheng didn't open the door today, he should be entertaining his future son-in-law at home.

    The street was deserted, and Xiang Ya stood there thinking for a while, then turned and stared at the dilapidated bun shop with the walls.

    It is like an old man, with vicissitudes and dilapidation falling in the city.

    No one knows how many secrets are hidden in this ordinary bun shop.

    Combining the information from Sister Cheng Li, Xiang Ya guessed that the change was probably half a month back from the day when her parents disappeared.

    During those half a month, parents may have noticed something later, and even left clues to her, but they haven't had time to tell the truth.

    "Where are the clues hidden in the panic?" Xiang Ya whispered as he took another step towards the store.

    While staying in the safe room of the dungeon, Xiang Ya actually vaguely felt that there was something in her bun shop that she hadn't found, so she told Zhang Fanyu to go home.

    At this moment, she returned to the store, trying to reason from the perspective of her father Xiang Zhonghe:

    Xiang Zhonghe knew that once the debt owed happened, his daughter Xiangya would not hesitate to mortgage the house without a tile to cover her head. It is impossible for her daughter to spend money to live outside, and she would not bother her friends too much Borrow.

    Only in the old district, the bun shop that has been rented for a whole year is the most suitable place for Xiang Ya to settle down.

    It is also the best place to put secrets and wait for his good daughter to explore the treasure.

    ...

    Xiang Zhonghe knew his daughter well, and Xiang Ya also knew her father well.

    Xiang Ya stepped into the store, her sharp eyes began to wander around the room.

    Finally, her gaze stopped at the area where her mother Li Na put the sundries.

    There are two stacked small wooden boxes in front of them, and a large stack of long plastic bags taller than the boxes is piled up behind the wooden boxes.

    My mother is used to stacking the used flour bags and stacking them neatly. Various words are printed on these bags, from a certain brand at the beginning more than ten years ago to a new brand just replaced this year.

    The amazing thing is that the flour that was placed at the bottom and bought in the oldest period, the bag that packs the flour shows no sign of corruption except for the lettering that has faded by half.

    In the past, Xiao Xiangya didn't understand why her mother had the habit of collecting broken bags. Occasionally, after her father sold the buns, he would tease her that pocket money was hidden in the house, and when he found it, he would ask Xiang Ya to buy snacks.

    Xiangya was in poor health when she was a child, and she ate very light food, so every time she heard that her father allowed her to hunt for treasures and buy food, she was very happy and happily searched all over the house.

    But Dad always stuck the money between the bags like a thief, and she needed to move out every bag to find it.

    Every time Xiang Ya guessed that it was hidden in the pile of bags, but before she finished rummaging, her mother Li Na appeared with a cold face.

    She was standing behind Xiang Ya, knocking on the rolling pin again and again.

    He said in a dark voice, "Xiang Ya, you messed up my bag again!"

    ...

    Xiang Ya came out from the nostalgic memories.

    He thought to himself: 'Maybe dad always remembers the games played when was young. '

    She walked towards the debris pile, and after removing the wooden box, she looked at the large stack of flour sacks in front of her with a complicated expression.

    This time, Xiang Ya rummaged patiently, and she even emptied the bag to the side...

    In this way, she slowly searched for the "treasure" left by her father this time alone, but no matter how messy the search this time, her mother did not appear behind Xiang Ya with a bad face.

    From the afternoon to the evening, the sunlight slanted and emptily shot into the dark and quiet room.

    After Xiang Ya had finished flipping through, she sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the only yellow envelope she found with her head down.

    The envelope is large and thick.

    Xiang Ya had a guess in his mind.

    She exhaled lightly, and instead of opening it immediately, she picked up the phone next to her and dialed someone.

    The phone was connected quickly.

    Zhang Fanyu's familiar voice rang on the other end of the phone.

    "Hey."

    "Officer Zhang, I found a letter from my parents, do you want to come over?"

    In the safe room, Zhang Fanyu said that he would wait for Xiang Ya, and Xiang Ya agreed.

    "Okay, I'm here."

    The male voice in the microphone overlapped with the voice in reality, and the light was blocked by the tall figure at the door.

    The inside of the house suddenly became bright and dim, as if separated from the warm yellow outside into two worlds.

    It makes people suddenly have a sense of weightlessness that is divorced from reality.

    In the backlight, Xiang Ya looked up at him in a daze.

    "I just finished my work half an hour ago, and I rushed over to see you."

    He explained with a faint smile, and walked towards her with big strides, allowing light and shadow to flow behind him again.

    It's like he came with a soft light.

    It beat violently towards the heart of Bud after a long absence.

    "Boom boom, boom boom"

    Zhang Fanyu came to her side and sat cross-legged like her, his right shoulder was almost close to her shoulder.

    The smell of travel and dust surges from the tip of the nose, which makes people feel at ease, but also brings some of Zhang Fanyu's exclusive peace.

    Xiang Ya pushed the envelope in his hand towards him.

    Just when Zhang Fanyu was about to take it, Xiang Ya suddenly spoke.

    "Officer Zhang, I seem to like you very much."

    The author has something to say:

    Ahhhh, I'm about to scream like a groundhog right now!
