Seventeen SMS

New non-slip mats were nailed on the concrete stone steps at the entrance of the snack department, simply covering the muddy and oily ground. The old-fashioned door curtain made of plastic wrapping paper has not been removed, and the cool wind pulls and shakes. Boom" kept ringing.

Holding the mobile phone, Shao Jie paced back and forth on the non-slip mat, his eyes swaying with the end of the door curtain that scratched the threshold, silently memorizing the mobile phone number and address that was reported to him in detail on the other end of the phone, he responded lightly, and then suddenly asked: " Han Lu, I want to ask you something... Fengxi District su——sucre——" Shao Jie muttered the british words awkwardly, and stumbled past, "It's just that bar...then The unfinished building next to the first building has been engaged in development and transfer since the beginning of last year. Didn’t your father take it seriously at the beginning? Later, he said that there was a problem with capital turnover and shelved it, was it because of Yang Xiaoxiao?”

"..." Through the smooth communication signal, it seemed that Yang Tangtang could be heard laughing. Han Lu half-covered the microphone, explaining the report to his girlfriend, and stopped halfway. He was silent for a moment. Walking from the indoors to the outdoors, he picked up the quarrel with a playful smile, "My dad is a life-saving entrepreneur who made a fortune halfway through. He bid with Shengcheng International at the same time. How can there be any comparison in terms of capital turnover—" Han Lu said halfway, with a tone of voice It fell down suddenly, "I did talk to my dad about the bar, but what happened next..."

Han Lu sighed, his voice erratic as if he was recalling: "Do you still remember the time when you went to school? Yang Xiaoxiao skipped class, and we went to her house to find someone under the order of the old class, but we were not caught. We just saw her The family was smashed by debt collectors, and my brothers and sisters kindly and kindly helped her raise money, and asked her mother to buy medicine to supplement... Who would have thought that this guy bit Lu Dongbin like a dog, and in turn scolded us at school. "

Shao Jie lowered his head and looked down at the oil-stained threshold, "Well... remember, seven seven eight eight."

"What do you think this girl is thinking? A law-abiding and good citizen wants to help her. She always feels that we have no good intentions and insist on provoking those who force her to do bad things. She feels that it is from those people. It's only comfortable with money..." Han Lu wiped his face helplessly, "I told you that I ran into Yang Xiaoxiao at the bar in Fengxi District almost a year ago—"

"At that time, I really didn't recognize that it was Yang Xiaoxiao. The sister's plastic surgery made her mother almost unrecognizable...Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to have been helping her father who had been dead for many years to pay off the debts. Li——It’s like sitting at the table. To put it bluntly, it’s just cheating idiots and extorting money. I was one of the idiots in the bar that day, but Yang Xiaoxiao recognized me. , I think she was looking for a target by herself, and she found a buddy who was dressed as an elite to stick to, talking and laughing happily, so she didn't take it seriously. Later, my daughter--the ex-girlfriend checked the post temporarily, and I took it When the phone call was made, he was going out with the buddy who looked like an industry elite. When he saw the bar manager giving someone away, he knew that the buddy was a small partner. He went out, and Yang Xiaoxiao was caught out because he hooked up with the wrong person. It was a coincidence that I ran into Yang Xiaoxiao's mother who was blocking people in the middle of the night..." Han Lu was startled when he said this, and his tone was worried: "One of the two mothers is injured all over, and the other has no money for dialysis. My body fell ill on the spot, so I can’t just watch it? I hurriedly sent the person to the hospital, helped my classmates pay the fee, and thought about leaving some emergency money for a classmate, and I will pay it back slowly, good guy, again She was scolded by Yang Xiaoxiao, saying she didn't need my pity..."

How Han Lu was thinking about how aggrieved, he said "Cut" dumbfoundingly: "But it's not a complete loss of conscience, before urging me to leave, I took a look at the pinhole under the sleeve of her clothes, and told me to stay away from that bar , let’s stop here, don’t tell others about her situation.”

Shao Jie drooped his head and heard the "giggle" laughter of the children in the room. He raised his head and raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes fell on Jiang Mo, who was hugging the boss's chubby boy, through the gap of the swinging door curtain, " So you just stared at Yang Xiaoxiao without saying a word at the class reunion?"

"She was beaten badly that time, and I paid attention out of humanitarianism. But seeing that she was in good condition, I didn't bother to get close to her anymore... If it weren't for your sharp eyes, you can see that I have a little bit with her. I can't tell you about this matter." After Han Lu finished talking about the cause and effect, he suddenly recalled, "——Oh, that's not right, brother, why did you suddenly remember to ask Yang Xiaoxiao? Why did you meet? Her? Not to mention, her mother still remembers us... I passed by the bar in Fengxi District half a year ago, and when I remembered it, I went to her house to take a look. After all, there were patients and foreign debts——but my aunt said Yang Xiao Xiao is not in the bar now, and has earned a lot of money, has a boyfriend, is pregnant, and lives a happy life, and said that he will contact the hospital to find a match for his aunt’s kidney transplant—”

Jiang Mo, who was holding the chubby boy and preparing to pay the bill, finally waited until the boss and his wife who were emptying the vegetables and noodle bags behind the building scolded and came back to the store panting.The proprietress reached out to take the son who was thumping and refusing to let go, and the boss saw police officer Jiang's clothes being rubbed by his son's footprints, and wanted to discount the price with regret, but was rejected by Jiang Mo repeatedly on the grounds that the small business was not easy, and blamed him While pulling, the chubby dun'er grabbed the bag of cheese sticks to break the "deadlock", first stuffed a cheese stick into Jiang Mo's pocket, then turned his head to look sincerely at Shao Jie who was standing at the door, and planned to Pass him another cheese stick.

Shao Jie was a little surprised. He hugged the little chubby who stumbled twice and almost fell over. He raised his head and glanced at Jiang Mo before reaching out to take it. The microphone prevaricated, "I'll talk when I have time", turned around and hung up Han Lu's endless chatter, put his mobile phone in his hands and followed, and stood in front of Jiang Mo's car.

"I'll reverse the car and you can come up again, so you don't have to go through the trouble." Jiang Mo drove in the alleys and alleys with ease, and when the car moved steadily, he stretched his arms out of the window and snapped his fingers to hook his hands. Signaling, turned to look at Shao Jie who quickly got into the car and sat down, fastened his seat belt seriously, "I'll take you back first, just at this moment you send me the contact information and specific address of Yang Xiaoxiao's home—"

"I'll go with you." It was rare for Shao Jie to cut off Jiang Mo's words, and shook his head firmly, but the sound of his words became less and less confident: "Auntie knows me, and it's convenient to say hello, and she's not in good health ..."

Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and was stunned for two seconds to realize that this kid may have heard her swearing a lot, and he was a little worried that she would come to the door to report the funeral with a blunt word, and smashed the news of death.

Ever since Jiang Mo stunned this little ancestor with the sole of his shoe, in his eyes, Police Officer Jiang hardly had a stable and reliable image.Jiang Mo pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, trying to hold back his explanation, but before she could speak, Shao Jie, who was pulling on his seat belt, suddenly asked bluntly: "Is Yang Xiaoxiao dead? Those dark things in the photo one of the dead bodies?"

"Yang Xiaoxiao may still be alive. But Yang Xiaoke is already dead, one of those charred corpses."

The tone of Jiang Mo's answer was calm and indifferent, and the established facts were stated objectively and tactfully.She frowned and tried to persuade her, but this little ancestor didn't have the concept of retreating in spite of difficulties, his eyes were stubborn and obedient, and he blinked and thought of a compromise: "I want to visit my classmate's house." , Officer Jiang, if you drop by—”

Jiang Mo looked at Shao Jie in silence, and after a while, he interrupted helplessly: "Come on, don't interrupt me when I'm asking, can you do it?"

----

Shao Jie's visit to the elders was very extravagant, carrying a basket of fruit, milk, black bones and eggs that he bought after getting out of the car halfway, staggering and frivolously stepping on the steps of different widths, walking in front of Jiang Mo as if clearing the way.

Jiang Mo originally wanted to help, but this little ancestor was unexpectedly stubborn, with the good character of not being able to bother the lady to share the heavy load, as if his body could be blown down by a gust of wind, he wobbled and stopped in front of Yang Xiaoxiao's house .

Yang Xiaoxiao's mother has been suffering from illness for a long time, her cheeks are so thin that she looks disfigured, her frail and thin body is supported by her lonely limbs, her dragging pace is extremely slow, but she seems to be in a good state of mind, and she only looks at her when she opens the door. Jiang Mo, who had never met before, was surprised for a moment, and then he invited the guests appropriately and gently, arranged for the "Xiaoxiao old classmate" who came to visit suddenly, and slowly and gently motioned the two of them to sit casually, and she went to pick up Wash some fruit with the fruit basket.

The old house with one bedroom and one living room faces west, with insufficient light, and the room is stuffy with damp.The living room is probably transformed into a small sofa with Yang Xiaoxiao's single low bed back then. The TV and cabinets are decorated as if time has stagnated in the last century. The desk with the desk calendar and thermos is pressed with glass, and there is a handwritten note in the middle of the glass. The TV channel and three business cards for maintenance and unlocking. In the corner of the glass panel are the ID cards of Yang Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter--Yang Xiaoxiao's ID photo is still in school, and the mother's ID has her name written on it, Zhao Juan.

"I still remember how many times Xiao Shao has been here, and it's the first time I've seen this girl." Zhao Juan put down the fruit plate and sat beside the desk, "But Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be very close to her classmates when she went to school because of her father's affairs." , it’s also rare that you still miss me after such a long time, Xiao Han has been here before..."

"Han Lu also told me that I just heard him mention it, so I wanted to contact Xiaoxiao and come to my house to have a look."

Shao Jie is almost familiar with this. Ever since he stepped into the room, he has been chatting with Zhao Juan all the time. Jiang Mo glanced at him in surprise, and spoke with the tail of his eyes: "Xiaoxiao seems to be very busy recently, and I can't take care of my family. How is your health, auntie?"

"I'm suffering from this illness, but Xiaoxiao said a while ago that she contacted the hospital and waited for the matching. Recently, she is busy with my operation fee." Zhao Juan said here, with a gratified and sincere smile on her face "Her father's debts have just been paid off this year, and she wants to cure my disease again, and she has to go out to work with a full stomach. She hasn't seen anyone for more than half a month or almost a month. Her belly is getting bigger, With Zhao Xu following me, I really don't feel at ease. If I call her, she is either busy or inconvenient to answer. She sends messages back and forth with me, and I have to wear reading glasses."

"Contact...by SMS?" Jiang Mo listened with his ears open, picked up the apple and choked after taking a bite, blushed and coughed for a long time before throwing away Shao Jie's arm to help her, lowered his gaze, and looked at Zhao Juan He deliberately handed it to the text message page in front of her as if showing off, and only hurriedly scanned to the receiving time of the latest message—it was a day ago.

Jiang Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't that person really Yang Xiaoxiao?

But so far all intertwined evidence points to the fact that "Yang Xiaoke" is indeed Yang Xiaoxiao's alias incarnation.

If the inferences so far are correct, it means that after "Yang Xiaoke" died, the phone was not actually destroyed—but Qi Sanqiang and his group didn't have the brains to maintain the mother-daughter relationship and delay time. Huang Xi, the couple with a deep grudge against "Yang Xiaoke", is also under the control of the police. At least one day ago, they absolutely had no contact with communication equipment...

So who is related to the death of "Yang Xiaoke"?What is the purpose of the murderer, insisting on maintaining the temporary warmth and peace on the surface?

Jiang Mo pondered for a few seconds and raised his head. He kicked Shao Jie, who was obviously a little confused, and joked, "I don't have time to contact us. I'll take care of Auntie together."

Zhao Juan's smile froze unnaturally for a moment—maybe it was Jiang Mo's illusion in the blink of an eye, she brushed her regular hair, and sighed softly with a smile: "I guess it might be because she knew the hardships of being a mother after she was pregnant. I was never allowed to go to the place where she stayed outside before, and later she picked me up from time to time to see her due date, and she should be back in a few days. The house is tidy and tidy, and the room is always full of people. Pregnant women can't stand it..."

Zhao Juan opened the calendar and flipped left and right while speaking, her fingers trembling a little, and she muttered to herself: "Oh, no... I promised her to go to dialysis on time, and every time I go to the hospital, I have to rest for a few days. Let’s pray, it’s almost time for her to come back..."

Shao Jie vaguely noticed that Yang Xiaoxiao's mother seemed to be experiencing ups and downs under the calm and peaceful mood.He hesitated for a moment, and pretended to be nonchalantly looking at Police Officer Jiang, but he saw Jiang Mo frowned slightly, and looked up at Zhao Juan steadily.

"Auntie, Xiaoxiao still lives on Lixing West Street, right?"

----

Before Zhao Juan's calm mood was on the verge of collapse, Shao Jie decisively ended the nagging, and resolutely dragged Jiang Mo out of Zhao Juan's house, who was obviously going to make insinuations before making inquiries.

Jiang Mo didn't set up defenses when he was next to Shao Jie. He stopped suddenly when he was easily carried to the door of the building by the little boy like a firewood pole. He grabbed Shao Jie's wrist and pressed it against the wall. Miao hurriedly let go of the arm that was restraining him angrily, patted the dusty cobwebs on the front of his clothes, and frowned repressedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I know what you mean, I have interrogated too many prisoners in the past two days... I was a little anxious, so I didn't hug her for a while."

Shao Jie was bluffed by police officer Jiang's attack first, and stared blankly at Jiang Mo sticking to the top of Jiang Mo's head where the spider webs had been scraped off the old building door, and subconsciously raised his arm to help her rake her hair: "'Yang Xiaoke '...Is that the pregnant woman who was reported missing on Lixing West Street before?"

Jiang Mo tilted his head to hide for a while, looked up at Shao Jie in surprise, and suddenly realized, "Well, that's what you saw when you were eating in Lixing West Street that day. Zhao Juan...well, Aunt Zhao, She should have realized that something is wrong with her daughter, but the police didn't officially come to the door, and she has been deceiving herself all the time."

Shao Jie's understanding of mother-daughter connection is a little shallow, and he frowned puzzledly: "But Yang Xiaoxiao has been in touch with her all the time, if he notices something wrong with the content of the text message, shouldn't he call the police first?" ?”

Jiang Mo shook her head: "Yang Xiaoxiao's previous job at the Sugar Bar, Zhao Juan, knew that no matter what happened, her first choice would not be to call the police...so she could only cover her eyes and ears Live while waiting for an accurate news."

"It's a pity." Jiang Mo raised his head, looked through the canopy of dead leaves in front of the building and looked at the sky where the clouds were gathering again, "...she probably won't be able to wait for any good news."
